Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Weapon of Speech
Lucerne Underground Palace District, Central Hall of the Summoning Circle-
Succubus Queen Lilith glanced at Nyam, a visibly angry look on her coquettish face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Neham!" said a coldness in her voice, "this is what you call a foolproof plan?"
Neam frowned and bowed his head, not responding. He is still trying to figure out the next course of action.
It is clear that now that the identity has been discovered, the plan to lure the nobles of Erosa into a bloody sacrifice has failed. But Neam was unwilling to give up a rare opportunity, and he lurked in Lucerne for 7 years, not just to summon Gerald, the Lord of Darkness?
Then resurrect the beloved Helena!
"Hmph, let's talk about it first!" Catherine proudly proclaimed to her allies with her hands on her chest, "All we are asking for is a message from Her Majesty the Witch, and if we don't have a plan that satisfies us, we won't be able to continue to accompany you!"
Lilith gave Kathryn a sinister look, and the latter looked back without fear. Lilith stared at the legendary item that Nancy had given Kathryn, and finally gave up the idea of revenge in exasperation.
"Both, I really don't know the point of such a meaningless argument. Neham pondered for a moment and whispered, "Although the current situation is extremely unfavorable for us, it is not without a chance to turn defeat into victory. At the very least, it turns out that Erosa couldn't have found our hiding place so quickly!"
"Hmph, what a rhetorical guy, yesterday I said that provoking Charlotte would cause a huge variable, and I will ...... it today" Kathleen pouted dissatisfiedly, but perhaps because of the atmosphere, she snorted coldly and changed the subject, "Okay, then tell me, what else can we do in such a short time?"
The succubus queen Lilith also stared at Neam coldly, for Lilith, there was no option to give up this operation!
This coincides with Neuham.
"I have an idea. Neam gathered his thoughts and spoke eloquently, "Although the current situation is that our side has been exposed, the other party does not know the location of our ceremony. In other words, to destroy us in the shortest possible time, they must divide up their forces. β
"The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark!" Neham said more and more fluently, and he felt that the plan he had come up with on the fly was promising, "Let's take the initiative and condense all our forces into a fist to break them all!"
Lilith's eyes lit up, "Interesting! If it was a thousand-year-old nobleman of the level of the three Clayderman siblings as a sacrifice, then we might not need to go through the bloody ritual to complete the summoning ritual at all!"
Neam nodded, and the two of them, as decision-makers, looked at their allies at the same time.
Catherine's face gradually relaxed, and she looked at Neam and snorted softly, "Hmph! If that's the plan, we'd love to give it a try!"
"So, let's make ...... decision"
Bang Bang Bang ......
At this moment, a crisp sound came from the corridor outside the hall. The three people who were high on the altar looked at the place they came from at the same time, and the sonorous sound of armor came and went, only to see a group of heavily armed knights walking forward, forming a defensive circle in an instant.
Behind the knights, battle priests dressed in the robes of the Church of Justice raised their maces and formed a formation led by Inigo.
At the end of the line were leather-clad crossbowmen, who lined up in two rows and surrounded the commander in high position.
The three Clayderman siblings just mentioned are on the list, and in addition, even the famous crown prince Elbert and Claire, one of the twin walls of Icewind Castle, are also in the array.
Neham's face darkened, and he looked at the young man with short silver hair in the middle of the formation with a calm face.
"Amazing, amazing!" Charlotte clapped her hands, "Your Excellency is so resourceful, I am sweating all over!"
Neam carefully observed the speaker's appearance and determined that this person was Charlotte, the second young master of the Clayderman family, who was rumored to have succeeded the Icewind Castle family. He frowned in confusion, ignoring the sinister looks of Lilith and Catherine, and asked a raised question.
"I'm really curious, how the hell did you find here?"
"Nehamβ"
Before Charlotte could answer, Inigo had already taken a step forward, roaring in resentment.
"Why did you do such a thing? You were coerced, right? Answer me, Neham!"
Neam choked, and he looked at his uncle sadly, "I'm sorry, Bishop Inigo, I ......"
"Now is not the time for you to catch up!" Lily interrupted the conversation without mercy, gripped the hilt of her sword in annoyance, her voice carrying a murderous intent that could not be concealed, "Neham, your plan has failed completely. Now, it's better to do it my way!"
Speechless, Neam looked at the crystal coffin by the altar and silently took a few steps back.
"Kathryn!" Lilith looked at the Phantom Forest Mage, "If you cooperate with me, I swear in the name of Styx, and I will give you a perfect answer!"
Kathleen hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily, "That's it!"
Lilith raised her hand, and the battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out! Similar to the last reincarnation, Lilith planned to annihilate Charlotte and the others in one fell swoop, and take the opportunity to complete the planned plan.
Evan clenched his fists slightly, hesitating. He couldn't be sure that Ramsey in this world would help as promised.
If Ramsey attends the appointment, it will definitely be beneficial for them to delay the time, but if the opposite happens, with the passage of time, it is still possible that the Annihilation Society and the Illusory Forest's plan to summon the Lord of Darkness will still come to fruition in terms of the timing of the summoning!
For the first time, Evan was torn by a dilemma.
A hand was placed on his shoulder and tapped him lightly. Evan turned his head and saw Charlotte smiling at him.
No matter how bad the ending is, I will accompany you to face it!
Evan felt the faith coming from Charlotte's shoulder, and the warmth instantly boiled over his faith. He turned his head and spoke to Neham.
"Haven't you always wondered how we could have known your identity, Neham?" Evan smiled and glanced at Kathryn, "It's simple, it's because your stupid alliance is so fragile that even the ghosts in it are unaware!"
Neam and Lilith's faces remained unchanged, but Aven's words caused an atmosphere of suspicion to spread between the three leaders.
"Do you really think that everyone wants the Black Lord to come?" Evan noticed a subtle change that made him more confident in his gibberish, "Wrong! If Gerald does come and the Calamity Witch is rescued by the Forest of Illusions, who will be the leader of the terrible legions that will ravage the world of Steor in the future?"
"The former leader of the Alliance, the Calamity Witch, or the current Lord of Darkness, Gerald?"
Even those as firm as Neam and as penetrating as Lilith could not help but be shaken by Aven's words. Because the hidden meaning revealed in Aiwen's words has revealed the fundamental reason for the alliance between the Forest of Illusions and the Annihilation Society of All Things!
And that's supposed to be the most secret part!
"Am I right, my ally, Miss Catherine!" Evan smiled and nodded, as if reuniting with an old friend after a long absence, "Or rather, a double agent who wanders between the Annihilation Society and Erosa!"
When these words were spat out, Lilith and Neham's faces instantly turned ugly.
