Chapter One Hundred and One: The Long Sword Forty

The two great swords were combined in a strange way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Sulfura and Hetty fight together in the demons, but the two occasionally fight. The demons didn't understand the relationship between the two men, they only understood that maybe the two great swords weren't as strong as the legends said. The fighters, who had been imprisoned in the dark, finally found a chance for revenge. Tortured like hell, the anguish of not seeing the light of day once it erupts, it can't stop. Hetty and Sulfona were drowned in the tide of demons like two stones thrown into a deep well. Alik and Helois on the other side also fell to the human walls.

"Helois, what are we all around us now?" Alik grabbed the edge of the bluestone and climbed the wall, looking around blankly with his empty eyes.

"Alik, we're surrounded by soldiers. Densely packed, all soldiers. They had torches, swords, and bows in their hands, all pointed at us. But the soldiers were afraid, their hearts were shaking, and their legs were shaking. ”

"Don't waver, you don't need to be afraid! I don't want to hurt you!"

Alik shouted around him, but the soldiers were horrified by the sound. Demons in armor flew up from beneath the walls. These soldiers dared to shoot arrows at the demons on the ground at a height of 100 meters, but they definitely did not have the courage to swing their swords at the claws that shone with white light. In their eyes, a monstrous humanoid demon covered in pitch-black armor was screaming at the sky with its terrifying head outstretched. The armoured demon roared as it scrambled its ugly feet on the ground. As it walked, a yellow and white slime continued to drip to the ground. On closer inspection, the armored demon still had a disgusting abscess on his waist. There is also a small demon like a beetle on the back of the demon, this little demon spits out human language, and they are talking in human language.

The blasphemous scene made everyone's nerves tense. A young soldier's stiff hand didn't jump, and the arrow on the string flew towards Alik. This arrow was the beginning of the conflict between Alik and the soldiers. The young warriors also began to fire arrows, and the people around them threw torches in their hands, and some of them rushed forward with their long swords in a roar. The craftsmanship of humans is completely unmatched by the swordsmiths of the Order, and these longswords made of rough iron cannot even cut through the armor of Alik's body. But the soldiers, driven by fear, rushed forward one after another. Alik felt like his sword was being inserted all over his body. The most terrible thing was the torch that was thrown over, which ignited the remaining oil on the ground. Alik was immediately surrounded by fire, and he let out a low roar.

"Alex!"

Helois sat on Alex's shoulder, unharmed. But seeing Alec in such pain, Helois also felt extremely uncomfortable. She spread the elytra behind her back, and underneath the carapace, translucent wings like snowflakes. Previously, Helois had been using her carapace to block attacks for Alik, but in fact this carapace was used to protect the wings underneath. As an outpost among the combatants, Helois has special abilities in addition to her hard armor. Outposts need to relay their position to the fighters in the rear on the front lines, and they have their own way of transmitting information. I saw the translucent wings vibrate at high speed, and the air currents that erupted even blew away the flames around Alik. The soldiers felt a piercing sound come straight into their heads, and then roll inside. Once the human auditory system is disturbed, it is unable to grasp balance. The soldiers could not hold their weapons in their hands and fell to the ground one after another. Alik also felt dizzy, and he got down on one knee before he barely regained his balance.

"Helois, what's going on. ”

"Nothing happened. Helois's voice remained calm, "It's just that the annoying soldiers are all gone." ”

"Are they dead?"

"Not yet, Alex. ”

"That's good. ”

Alek nodded, then got back to his feet. But the soldiers on the ground looked at the black monster in amazement, and they felt strange again. The monster didn't kill them in the first place, dissecting their bodies and revealing their internal organs. This is obviously the culprit of the destruction of the nearby village, and it is obviously the demon who slaughtered countless people. Although Alik couldn't see it, he still felt the soldiers' notes on him.

"I don't want to go against you, I just have something I want to tell you. Alik said to the soldiers around him, "The nobles you worship are rotten, and they only think about how to enjoy themselves, how to squeeze the people to satisfy their own selfish desires. Their wisdom was spent only on the struggle for power and profit, and the framing of the people. These people lost the spirit of their ancestors, the builders of this holy city. And the holy city in which you are located is also decaying. ”

The soldiers were silent. In recent years, what the aristocracy has done is indeed chilling, and everyone is angry. This demon spoke everyone's mind, and the soldiers found that they were not as brave as a demon. The man who had been trying to fumble for the dagger on the ground also stopped, and they wanted to hear what the demon could say. Alik nodded in satisfaction.

"In the same way, the holy city of which you are proud has decayed. You know what you're doing, dancing for a wall, for a minaret – how ridiculous. Indeed, with this watchtower, your safety is assured. You will no longer fear demons, you will no longer fear wild beasts, you will no longer fear the invasion of strangers. But the Holy City was not meant to be such a cowardly place. Every year, the Order sends out many knights to support the surrounding area and help them deal with disasters and monsters. Isn't it rotten that the Holy City now only wants to ensure its own safety?"

Silence dominated the entire space, and Alik sighed and continued.

"Finally, the twin churches of your faith have also decayed. It ceased to be the earthly heir of the Twin Goddesses, it became a violent organization, a gathering of careerists. These frenzied creatures took down the demons with their attention, and they dominated the demons. This time, the villages around the Holy City were also destroyed because of them. I suspect that the people in the village are not really dead, but have been captured by the church to be used as experiments. The church first creates demons, then lets them produce demons to hunt humans, and then uses these humans to create demons, and so on. You must think I'm alarmist? I don't, because I'm the best example of that. I was originally human, but now I have been transformed into a demon by the people of the church......"

The soldiers exclaimed. Originally, they were surprised to see Alik's words, but now when they heard Alik's words, they thought of Alik's previous analysis, and couldn't help but believe half a point. But it was Hellois who was most surprised.

"Alex, it turns out ...... So you know it all?"

"I'm not that stupid, Herois. I wouldn't die like a monster, and I wouldn't be able to fall from that heightβ€”I knew what was going on in me. Alik sighed and said, "You've become a demon too, haven't you?"

Alik ...... I ......"

"Listen, kid. Demons are not terrible, what is terrible is cannibalism. Cannibalism is not terrible, what is really terrible is cannibalism but thinks that the person who is eaten deserves it. I used to have a daughter, but I couldn't protect her. I kept deceiving myself that I lost my daughter because of my incompetence and not because of the distortion of the world. Alik touched Helois Alien's head with his alien hand, "But I met you again, and I feel like you're the reincarnation of my daughter." I can't fool myself anymore. Helois, whether you're a demon or a human, you're not wrong. If the world thinks you're a monster, it's the world that's wrong. The nobles abused their power, the merchants were unkind to the rich, and the sacrifices deceived the gods and destroyed the Tao, and they were the ones who were wrong. ”

"Alik ......"

Herois's eyes widened as she looked at Alik, and she suddenly felt an indescribable feeling. The demon's golden eyes began to moisten, and for the first time, Helois felt that her presence in this world was worthwhile. She touched the wounds on Alik's body, and felt that there was no more beautiful pattern than this. However, a break interrupted the interaction between the two demons.

Do you soldiers, do you believe the words of the demons? Remember how many people were deceived by the disguise of the demons and died. These demons speak so nicely, do you still need to eat people?"

It was Palmer, who was wearing half-length armor and a bright red cloak on his back. Palmer's presence brought the soldiers back to the battlefield, where they remembered that they were fighting the enemy who had rushed up the tower. Alec was silent after listening to Palmer's words, he is now a demon, and demons naturally want to eat people. The soldiers understood this fact and raised their swords again, but their hands were still shaking.

"What is there to talk about this man-eating monster, if you don't kill him now, you will die in the future!" Palmer said.

One of the soldiers craned his neck and yelled at Palmer.

"Demons can eat people, but I think you nobles can eat people too. Both of them will eat people, why should I listen to you!"

"You ask me why I obey my orders? Well, I'll tell you right now why I obey my orders. Palmer's white cheeks flushed, and he laughed angrily, "These two demons are the great enemies of the Holy City, and your family, your wives and children in the Holy City, if you put these demons in, can you imagine what the consequences will be? When they saw the demons climbing the walls, they secretly rushed out of the back door in a carriage. No matter what resentment you have against the nobles now, if you don't stop this demon now, you will be the ones who will suffer. ”

The soldiers finally gave up their scruples, and they re-fired at Alik with red eyes. All the soldiers who still have the strength to fight are good hands. Their arrows are unusually accurate, and they are quite agile. Alik was entangled by these soldiers and felt a lot of pressure. But it was Palmer who surprised Alik the most. He could smell the rouge smell on Palmer's body, replaced by an inexplicable scent.

"Alex!"

Herois unleashed the sharp stinging sound again, but this time it wasn't as powerful as before. The soldiers who are still fighting have more inhibition than the average person, and Helois is not in very good condition. When designed, Sentinel's Spike was not a skill that could be cast often. Helois's elytra had already suffered a lot of damage to Alik, and he had become scarred. Now there are cracks on it. Alik also knew that the situation was critical, and he broke through the encirclement of the soldiers with a big stride, and rushed towards the place where Palmer had made a sound.

"Helois, where did Palmer go?"

"He didn't run, Alex. He's still where he was before. ”

That's right, this time Palmer wasn't running. Now there were no soldiers in the rear who could protect her, and there were no fortifications to retreat to. If Palmer wanted to run, he would have run long ago, and with the corrupted nobles, he took his possessions away from the Holy City in a carriage. He stood calmly in front of Alik, allowing the monstrous monster to approach him. Three soldiers with swords and shields stood in front of Palmer. One of them dropped his weapon and fled by Palmer's shoe. Another soldier slashed his sword against Alik's solid armor in self-defeat, only to be knocked away from the distance. The last soldier shuddered, looking no more than twenty years old. Palmer kicked the soldier, and the soldier's trembling legs could not support his weight.

"Your Excellency?"

The astonished soldier lay on the ground and looked at Palmer, the oil and water on the ground mixing with each other, staining his clothes. Palmer snatched the sword from the warrior's hand, pointing only his chin at the soldier.

"Those who can't hold the sword should stay with those civilians, you are not needed here. ”

The soldier was ashamed, but Alik was confused.

"Palmer, are you going to duel me?"

"Duel? Only a fool like you with a brain tumor would believe in a duel. Do you think humans can really defeat you with this broken sword, monster!" Palmer didn't look so scared, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just don't want to die at the hands of filthy demons, and if I do, I'll kill myself." ”

Palmer held his sword up to his neck, the cold blade pointed at Alik as well as at Palmer.

"Didn't you want to kill me? I'm going to die now, and then you're going to let the others go. You have no grievances with them. ”

Alik slapped the sword off Palmer's hand with a single claw, then chewed the iron to pieces with his own teeth. Palmer's body was lifted up by Alik, who grew his mouth and roared at Palmer.

"Monster, monster!" Palmer's face became wet from the stench of saliva, but Palmer still looked at Alik with his neck stalked, which made Alik even angrier, "I'm a monster? yes, I'm a monster, but I was once human." Who turned me into a monster?"

If you resent this world, do you want to kill all the people in the world? Or do you resent this holy city, but there are many people in this holy city who have never seen you. Why do you want to kill all those innocent civilians? Or do you want to kill all these soldiers? But these people also have families, have you thought about what to do with their families? Now among the people here, I am the only noble, so you can kill me and leave. Don't cause innocent deaths or injuries anymore. ”

"You!"

Alec froze, he didn't understand what Palmer was talking about. Originally, the demon besieging the city below was created by him, and he was also turned into a demon by him, but why can he say it so high-sounding. In this way, Palmer does not look like a culprit at all, but rather like a martyr who died with the devil. Alik wanted to expose him in public, to crush the villain directly, but he stopped.

"Alex, what's wrong with you?" asked Herois, who was on Alex's shoulder, curiously.

"I'm sorry, Helois, I don't think there's anything I can do to kill him. Alik's voice trembled a little, "I'...... I have no way to kill him, just as I can't avenge my daughter. This man can't die now. He was the only nobleman left in the Holy City, and if he died, everything would be thrown into chaos. ”

"But isn't this an evil man, how can he be a leader like that?" said Helois anxiously, "Alex, don't be deceived, he just pretends to be righteous, and in his heart he is still that despicable person. ”

"I don't know if he's changed. But ......," said Alik, shaking his head, "it is enough for everyone to believe." If you look around, I can feel that he has won the hearts of the soldiers......"

Helois was stunned for a moment, and she looked around to see the soldiers glaring at her. The man with the bow and arrow pulled the string apart and aimed it at Alik's hollow eyes. Soldiers with swords tensed their bodies, ready to rush up and fight Alik. In their eyes, Palmer is undoubtedly an excellent leader. He quietly built this watchtower for the people of the Holy City. If it weren't for this watchtower, the invading demons would have invaded the Holy City. Holy lands that have not been touched by demons for hundreds of years will also fall. While the other priests and nobles fled, he was the only one who stayed at the front line. If it weren't for the fact that Palmer's life was still in Alex's hands, these brave soldiers would have been ready to fight for his life.

"These people have been deceived, just explain it to them......"

"Explain it clearly, and then? Helois, have you thought about what to do after that? These people need to coordinate with each other, they need to manage. If we destroy Palmer, it will cause even more chaos. Are we going to rule over these people? Our nature is demons, and we want to eat people. We...... We're monsters!"

Alik said, his massive body shuddering. He fell to his knees on one knee, as if in some great pain. Palmer, who had been caught in Alec's hands before, was also let go. Palmer struggled to his feet, then took small steps away from Alik. It was impossible to see what the expression was on his fair face, and the nobleman just squinted at the monster. Helois hurriedly jumped off Alex's back.

"Alex, what's wrong with you? Am I too heavy?"

"No, it has nothing to do with you. ”

"Or is it because of the stinging sound from before, there are still sequelae?"

"No, Herois, it's worse than that. ”
