Finally, I saw the Tiger King and the remaining soldiers of the Denomah Empire, as well as the resolute Lord Rogel.

By this time, all the soldiers who were still in the woods had evacuated the woods, and I was the only one waiting for them. When Roger saw me, he immediately rode his heavily armored knight's horse and trotted towards me. The young officer apparently didn't know how to ride a horse, and the horse's temperament was fierce, so he actually fell off his horse no less than three times before he came into my sight.

Like him, there were also many soldiers of the Denomah Empire who were not used to riding horses, and had fallen off their horses several times. I thought that basically all of them would ride war horses, but it turned out that those two magicians just didn't ride horses. In addition, some soldiers of the Denomah Empire could see some traces of snow on their bodies to a greater or lesser extent, presumably falling from their horses.

When it comes to horseback riding, it may be that all the countries and races on this continent are not as good as the Luohan Empire, which is a barbarian empire that is born to ride on horseback. Basically every barbarian is very good at riding horses, and it is because of horses that they have conquered so many lands. In that era when there was no magic, it can be said that it was the role of horses that made them turn from an ordinary nomad into a powerful empire today.

By the time I came to my senses, Lord Rogel and the soldiers of the Denomah Empire had already come to me. Although his face was red from the cold because of the horseback riding, and his body was shivering, his face was still very resolute. "Ma'am, all of us have returned safely. ”

"Okay, okay. I nodded, apologetically, and said, "Sir, I apologize for my own missteps. Because of my previous mistakes, I almost let you die on that hill in vain. ”

Lord Roger didn't care, but said, "Ma'am, we don't feel that your order was a mistake, and we haven't returned safely at the moment. The speed of that apostolic army was too slow, probably because of those special troops, anyway, TOEFL them, we are back safely now. And what are we going to do next?"

I turned and pointed to the woods and said, "We're going to turn this place into a burning purgatory." ”

"This forest?" Lord Rogel gasped. "Ma'am, have you already arranged it? The winter weather is very dry, what can we do to ignite such a large area of dense forest?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I smiled, "First of all, we have to thank us for having so many excellent mages, with fire mages and wind mages, we are completely able to ignite this large forest. And the trees here are strange, not excessively humid in such weather, but very dry, and there is no more suitable wood for ignition than them. They are just perfect. ”

Lord Rogel hesitated for a moment before he hesitated, "Ma'am, I do not advise you to do this. ”

I was stunned, why, why would Lord Rogel object to my proposal?Is there a better way for us to defeat the apostles?At the very least, we can destroy the apostolic army in large numbers by this method, and then we can stalemate with them until Sir Scar's army comes to our aid. Now that the sun is sinking to the west, it means that we are getting closer and closer to Sir Scar's arrival to help us. In order to welcome them, it is even more necessary to use a grand fireworks.

"Tell me, why don't you support me in doing this?" I was a little angry: "You know that this is the only way to completely annihilate that huge apostolic army, both tactically and considering our own strength! Even if the effect is poor, this fire can greatly reduce the number of those apostles! Only then can we hold on to them!" If you want me not to do this, then tell me how we are going to contend with that apostolic army here, with the lives of our soldiers?"

"But... "Lord Rogel stopped talking, but did not reveal to me why.

"But what?" I asked rhetorically, "the current situation is that basically every apostle's soldier is more physically qualified than you humans. Even our undead are hardly able to withstand their onslaught. And now you want to give up such a good opportunity and let your fellow citizens die in vain?, Sir, tell me, is that what you mean?"

"How is that possible? How could I mean that? Ma'am, you misunderstood!" Lord Rogel hastily explained, "but I really don't advise us to do it... ”

"Why?," I said, "what is the reason for your opposition to this?, and what could be more important than the lives of your fellow citizens? Do you know how many of the soldiers of the Denoma Empire would have been able to return to their homes safely in the end if we hadn't done so?"

"But ma'am, there is a demon god sleeping here!" Lord Roger finally spoke, and he said to me as if venting: "Ma'am, that's why I don't support you setting fire here! This forest is the territory of an ancient demon god, although we can stay here for a short time while he is asleep, but once we set fire, it is possible to awaken this terrible demon god from his slumber! At that time, our enemy will no longer be the army of the apostles, but this terrible demon god!"

How can there be a demon god here? I looked at the Tiger King and asked, "Tiger King, do you know any legends about the Demon God?"

"Lone naturally knows. Have you forgotten what Lone told you before?" Unexpectedly, the Tiger King was very indifferent to this. "Ma'am, Lone said before that one of Lone's old friends has already appeared. ”

"So you're saying there's an old friend of yours here, too?"

The Tiger King shook his head and said, "Lone's connections are not very wide, so it is impossible to have friends everywhere. Moreover, Lone did not feel any breath. So there should be no problem here. ”

"No problem?" When Lord Roger heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "Lord Tiger King, how can you say that there is no problem here? The problem here is too big! According to the records of our history books, after the ancient demon god created our world, he wanted to destroy our world, but he didn't know why, this demon god did not do this, but suddenly disappeared. And the six demon gods he left behind were used to guard the three treasures he left in this world. This is a real treasure, rarer and more precious than the treasures looted by the dragons!"

"How do you know this?" the Tiger King wondered, "Aren't you just a lord? Why do you have access to such books, which are difficult for even people in the Duke level of the Denoma Empire to know." ”

"My ancestors were the clerks of the Empire. Lord Rogel began to be a little incoherent, and said, "I know these things anyway, you don't have to worry about them. Also, legend has it that there were two demon gods sleeping here, and the appearance of this forest at that time was not as green as it is now, but half of it was lifeless, and half of it was like this. But then some races discovered the secret of the two demon gods, and let one of them be killed while still awakening. But while they were still looking for the treasure, they were discovered by another demon god, and then that demon god killed all the lives that dared to disturb them, and then continued to sleep here. Really, really! I'm not lying, you have to believe me! Let's go and don't disturb that demon god! Otherwise, that demon god will be even more terrifying than the apostles, believe me, believe me!"

I turned my head to look at the Tiger King and asked, "Do you think this could exist?"

The Tiger King shook his head: "An old friend of Gu has been born, and in the history of this continent, there has never been a situation where two servants of the Demon God have been awakened at the same time. Lonely thinking, we won't be so unlucky. In addition, arson is indeed the best thing we can do at the moment, and I feel that it is more important to save the lives of these soldiers than that chance. ”

I looked at the soldiers and magicians of the Denomah Empire who had been evacuated with Lord Rogel, and asked, "What do you think?

Sure enough, they also shook their heads blankly, and said that they had not heard of it. And one of the magicians even said, "Ma'am, I am also good at wind magic, if there is nothing else, I will assist my colleagues in setting up the magic circle." ”

I nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, we just need talents like you, it's hard." Now that all of us have withdrawn from here, we can let the apostles who have given us plenty of time know what a great welcome we have prepared for them. ”

After I had finished speaking, I did not pay any further attention to this Lord Rogel. It seems that not all people are perfect, and it is precisely because of Lord Rogel's deep fear of this so-called demon god that I am completely disappointed in him. What can a human being who is afraid of the unknown not be afraid of? Eventually, he will be completely crushed by such fear, and he will become a madman.

What I didn't know was that after we had turned to leave, Lord Rogle smiled gloomily and followed us. Now he looks like a walking corpse, and he looks so desperate when he looks at my back. Unfortunately, I was destined to never know. For after I had made such a big mistake, Lord Rogel became one of the victims of my mistake. And what I said to her before became the last thing I said to him. And it made me fall into permanent regret. It's just that I haven't noticed this now.

The Tiger King seemed to see that something was wrong with Lord Rogel, and said to me, "Ma'am, don't you think you're a little too strict with that human sir?"

"And harsh?" I was still angry: "Why do humans always be afraid when he surrenders his judgment to fear in the face of the lives of his fellow citizens?

"It is precisely because of fear that these humans have become the dominant ones in this world. The Tiger King smiled and said, "Otherwise, this continent would not be called the human world, but may be the world of the undead, or the world of the Tiger King." Anyway, this young man is still more capable. Madam, you still have to train him well in the future. ”

I was a little impatient and said, "Got it, got it." Tiger King, when did you become so sentimental. What matters now is not Lord Rogel, but how to hold on until the arrival of Lord Scar. Okay, let's go and see what the stage the magicians set up for the apostles. ”

The Tiger King glanced back at the dejected Lord Rogel and followed me into the depths of the forest. Here, we found that it was not only the magicians who were arranging the magic array, but also some ordinary soldiers who were shuttling back and forth with the branches, and placing these dry ignition materials such as branches and leaves in the designated places according to the magicians' instructions. In the distance, there were some heavily armored knights standing at the edge of the forest, and from time to time they reported to the soldiers in the forest the movements of the apostolic army. After looking at me, they tend to stop their movements and greet me.

Thanks to the speed of the apostles, in a few minutes, our soldiers and magicians finally completed a magic circle that satisfied them. According to the proud introduction of one of the older magicians, although this magic array was not as good as the perverted Viren in the wizarding world, it was also the life's work and skill of more than a dozen of their magicians. They swore that once the apostolic armies set foot in the forest, at least the entire edge of the forest and most of the interior would be reduced to a sea of fire in an instant. Although there are some places that are not covered due to the problem of strength, but under such a violent fire, the entire forest will eventually become a purgatory. After the fire is extinguished, there will be no more life here, and of course, this forest has also completed its mission and retired from the stage of history.

"Don't worry, ma'am. The old magician promised, "When the flames are extinguished, this legendary cursed forest will completely disappear from the territory of the Dnomah Empire!"
