30. Confused
Those who have seen the light will not be able to endure the darkness, and those who are born in the darkness will not think of looking for the light.
This is the code of human nature, whether it is the demonic Ereda or humans, all living beings, as long as they have souls, will have this kind of thinking and dilemma.
When faced with a completely different life and world, it is like standing in front of a door, will you push it open and walk into it, or will you turn away and go back to your own dark hell?
Fate tortures everyone, but fate is apparently too harsh on Lieutenant Nest, and appears to him in a way that is almost impossible to choose.
Just as Ensign Ereda and his demon guards were stunned by the shocking eyes of Valagar who suddenly appeared in the sky with terrifying spatial fluctuations, the light of teleportation lit up on the land of Crokun, and when he saw the figure coming out of the light, Second Lieutenant Nester's first reaction was... Run!
Gotta run!
If you can't win, you'll die! It's going to die!
The second lieutenant harnessed his demon dog and galloped wildly in the opposite direction, this reaction saved his life, and the 12 demon guards who were still in place were pierced by the light arrows shot by the open holy light warbow in the hands of the Valkyrie Valkyrie in the next moment, and died on the spot in a pitiful manner.
These ordinary demon guards are no match for the Golden Vakyrie Valkyrie at all, and in terms of biological rank, at least elite-level demon warriors can fight these angelic warlike creatures, and they will lose more and win less.
After all, it is the Valkyrie Guard of Valagar, Odin's most trusted armed maid, and her combat effectiveness is off the charts.
However, Nest's escape was forced to end less than 10 seconds after it began, and the second lieutenant even collapsed on the back of the demon dog when the first skulldragon flew over the head of the apathetic Uther and Mishirsa Anaire over the panicked Nest.
He saw two figures, one large and one small, dressed in black armor and wearing a black thorn crown, standing on top of the fierce bone dragon, Uther did not pay attention to a fleeing demon at all, and the death lord Anel looked at him curiously.
The moment the blue fire of the dead stared directly at Ensign Nest, the ensign's cowardly soul even felt a wave of fear and coldness rising from the deepest part of his heart.
"Bang"
Viku Heroic Spirit descended from the sky, and Gavincent, who was holding the Dragon Slaying Twin Axe, stood in front of Lieutenant Nest and his demon dog with his arms crossed, and the second lieutenant saw the golden figure with a height of more than 3 meters, he gritted his teeth and urged the demon dog to speed up.
"Fuck off!"
He shouted in Ereda, "Let me pass!
But unfortunately, Calvincent didn't understand, he looked at the vicious, fanged, disgusting scales of the demon hound that was coming at him, and the Eredar demon lying behind the demon hound, he saw the fear and panic swaying in the demon's eyes, and he snorted coldly.
It's a coward...
"Give me... Come down!"
Just as the dog's teeth were about to bite into his neck, Gavincent raised his fist and smashed it on the top of the dog's head.
"Bang"
The demon dog didn't even make a wailing sound, its head was smashed to the ground by the heavy fist wrapped in golden anger, the ground cracked, green blood splattered, the fierce creature's hard head was directly exploded under this blow, its body twitched, and the second lieutenant Nest was thrown out, rolled on the ground several times, he got up from the ground dizzily, and was greeted by a dark red axe blade, the sharp blade, the whistling sound of cutting air, which made Nest terrified to the extremeγ
Is this the legendary barbarian?
It's so powerful! This damn barbarian! And most importantly... He's going to die! He's going to die!
Nest looked at the rapidly approaching axe blade, and the next moment his head would be sliced open, and then he would be slaughtered in the wilderness, this terrible ending made the second lieutenant's fragile mind collapse to the extreme, and after the strings in his heart exploded, his eyes rolled and he was so frightened.
And Calvincent's axe also stopped in front of the second lieutenant's forehead, not that the Heroic Spirit couldn't do it, but that he got a strange order.
"Garvincent, bring the Eredar Demon in front of you to Valagarh!"
Second Lieutenant Nest didn't know that he had picked up a life, and he didn't know that this escape from death was more due to the attitude of "turning a blind eye" for the past few hundred years.
"Are you sure he's the one Ereda who let you go so many times?"
Dick looked at Chief Hatton standing behind him, the chief was very respectful to Dick, he nodded, "Yes, honorable administrator, Ensign Nest is a very famous fellow in Crocoun, he is ostracized by his colleagues because he is a "demon", but he has an unnecessary "kindness", and he will even turn a blind eye to our actions to save our people. β
The paladin's eyes narrowed, as he thought about it, and he rubbed his chin as he looked at Gavincent, who was dragging the second lieutenant's arm and dragging him towards Wallagall,
"Are there many people like Ensign Nest in Eredar society?"
Hatton pondered for a moment and nodded,
"Quite a few... It is said that among the Eredas born on the other side of the Makere ruins, there are many young people like Nest, who have not lived through the pre-dark era, and whose parents are mostly rebels who are unwilling to obey Kil'Gardan and Sargeras, and most importantly, the Makere Ruins are the only place where there is still sunlight, and we have tried to win them over, but Kil'Gardan's eyeliner is everywhere..."
"Good... This shows that they are not bad to the bone, and they still have hope of being saved. β
Dick opened his eyes, turned to Viren, and said, "Then this young man is handed over to you, Prophet, and I know that you have an unspeakable sense of guilt about your world, so save more people who deserve to be saved before it is completely destroyed, and I will send you the Twins as well, and they will come in handy." β
Viren nodded, and the black crystal rosary in his hand flicked quickly,
"I'll do my best to do this, thank you for your kindness, Dick. β
The paladin didn't answer, he just saw another kind of hope in Nest, the hope of Argus, after so many things, Dick would no longer judge the good and evil of a creature by its simple appearance, he valued the soul more.
Dick looked up at the dark sky of Argus, and the light of the starship was already vividly visible beyond the sky.
Kilgardan is on the move!
"Eliminate the ground demons of the Krokuhn region as quickly as possible, and get ready to welcome Kilgardan!"
Dick quickly gave a big order, he breathed a sigh of relief, his figure turned into a silver light at this moment and disappeared in place, and the next moment, beyond the sky, a silver lightsaber that rose into the sky shone in the sky, followed by a large mass of firelight, and then a second.
Guided by the Gate of the Firmament in Valagaar, the first wave of Heroic Spirits descended from the sky and smashed into the center of the ancient Cotto camp, and the demons who had just received the instructions to invade had not had time to prepare for a hard-fought war.
Their opponents are no longer natives who are frightened by their faces, nor are they weak soldiers, but they are no longer the heroic spirits who are no weaker than them, the body of steel, the will of steel, the skill of more skilled than them, the madness of battle.
They hadn't been able to defeat them for 10,000 years, and now, here they are!
When Gavincent cut the first Demon Overseer to rush in half, the frantic battle began.
After 37 minutes of encampment, the Okotto camp was moved to the ground by the Heroic Spirits, who began to manipulate the land and create the first wall in the barren land of Crowkun, to which the young men of the mobilized Krokuen tribe were also engaged in a very fanatical manner.
Chief Hatton brought reinforcements, and he promised everyone that after the battle, those who were willing to leave Argus would be allowed to live in a well-fed world, and they would be placed in the Nagrand Grasslands until they found a new planet suitable for them.
Hatton's prestige in the Crowkun tribe has reached unimaginable levels, and no one will doubt his words, which almost directly hit the hearts of these miserable people who have been trapped in these difficult times for 2 years, the softest corner, although when they saw Viren appear, those old people cursed him frantically, and even hit him with stones, but after Viren's apology and promise on one knee, everything became orderly.
The Broken, accustomed to suffering, were tolerant, especially after Viren returned to Argus alone, and this sincerity undoubtedly won the approval of most people, as well as the anticipation of a new life, and after seeing them the scenery of the Nagrand grasslands, after the assurances of Hatton and Viren, everyone was excited.
There is nothing more exciting in the darkness than to see hope, even if they have to endure 2 months of continuous attacks, how many people can hold out to the end?
Nobody knows... But at least in this moment, they are brave and hopeful, and that is enough.
And for Second Lieutenant Nest, who had just woken up from his camp in Valagarh, the ups and downs of fate were undoubtedly too drastic.
He opened his eyes in a drowsy state, and what caught his eyes were two women sitting in the chairs in front of him, Ereda, so beautiful, so noble, so ... Wait, isn't this Lord Kilgardan's lieutenant?
Nest's misty eyes turned horrified at this moment, the Eredar Twins had a great reputation in Ereda society, but more of a notoriety, and the young Eredas preferred to tell how they brutally killed their unwilling compatriots, how madly they tortured the scum who dared to oppose Lord Kilgardan.
Yes, it's all notoriety.
As an Ereda who joined the army, Nester had naturally seen the Twins, but the current Twins seemed to be different from what he remembered.
They were still so beautiful and seductive, but the magic patterns on their bodies, which were supposed to represent shadows and flames, had become a kind of golden light... Warm, so Nest doesn't know how to describe the feeling.
Well, this Ereda otaku, who is not quite the same as the average Ereda, said that he doesn't hate this feeling.
"You're awake..."
"Nest Oreth, you've been chosen..."
Ereda Twins' faces are almost identical, except for the difference in skin, they are almost carved out of the same mold, and they have a special frequency when they speak, after one person finishes speaking, the other person will immediately pick up, and a complete sentence is often said by two people together.
"Pain, betrayal, confusion..."
"Hatred, suspicion, confusion..."
"It's the cornerstone of everything..."
"It's the backbone of everything..."
The Twins said to Ensign Nest in a ceremonial tone, and they had said these words countless times, and the Ensign could recite them backwards, but to Nest's surprise, after saying this, Twins' tone suddenly changed,
"But that's in the past... Forget about that..."
"Yes, we found... A force worth following... That's a truly great power. β
"Rebelieve in the Light, Nest Orris..."
"You will become like us, as noble as we are, and the filth of evil has defiled us..."
"This is the second salvation... It was our only chance!"
"Believe in the Light!"
Ensign Nest didn't know how turbulent his future fate would be, but at least for now, his expression was... Embarrassment.
