Chapter 42: A New Conspiracy
"It's so dangerous to encounter the Demon King, but luckily she didn't notice us. [No pop-ups. 】”
After returning to Lanceloth on the continent using teleportation magic, the griffin knights still talked about it as if they had escaped from the vortex of death.
"You useless things, how can you show fear in front of Your Highness!"
It was just that he was frightened like this when he saw the demon king, and Zai, who felt ashamed of his subordinates, reprimanded him sharply.
"I'm so sorry that my subordinates have lost their temper."
The griffin knights were ashamed of the chief's reprimand, and they hurried to kneel down to Prince Vincent to ask for mercy.
"It's okay, if you don't feel scared after seeing such a powerful force, it's a problem, I said General XY, are you too strict with your subordinates."
Vincent smiled at the griffin knights and motioned for them to stand up.
"Hmph, as my subordinate, you must have a certain level of consciousness and practice with all your strength every day with the belief that you will die."
XY crossed his hands over his chest, revealing a face as cold as a thousand years of ice.
"It's because of this kind of character that you're the only one among the top ten generals who doesn't have friends."
Vincent sighed softly, feeling a little sad for his mentor.
"As a general who dedicates his life to the Empire, he only needs enemies, not friends!"
In response to Vincent's words, XY showed a look of scoff.
"What an old stubborn."
Vincent shook his head, and took a light step towards the Empire.
"Your Highness, the Euslet Kingdom is no longer able to use it, do you want to cultivate new forces?"
It should have been a time to be indignant when the forces that had been cultivated with great difficulty were destroyed, but Vincent looked quite happy and began to hum a ballad. Zai, who couldn't understand what his disciple and master was thinking, asked.
"No, I don't."
Vincent's answer was quite succinct.
"Wouldn't this be able to contain the crown prince?"
XY hurried to catch up with Vincent, his tone a little anxious.
"Now almost all the southern parts of the Jurran Continent have fallen into the hands of the big brother, and after this big war in the north, those small countries with weak strength will all submit to the monster kingdom, and the Xiulifeng Forest Kingdom in the middle are all arrogant dark elves who will never cooperate with humans. It's a pity, but we don't have any more chess to play. ”
Vincent looked impotent and sad.
"Really? I think His Highness seems to have a plan. ”
"I can't fool you, I really deserve to be my master."
His acting skills were unexpectedly debunked at once, and Vincent looked at XY with some admiration.
"What do you need me to do next?"
XY asked straight to the point.
"Contact with the Republic of All Races, and I'll help that skeleton monster gain dominion over the entire Jurrant."
"What? Help the monsters, Your Highness, you're not kidding, are you? ”
Although one glance at Vincent's expression could tell that he was not joking, XY asked knowingly, full of doubts in his heart.
"I'm just going to defeat Big Brother with the help of the monster, and when the monster really rules all of Jurrant, what do you think will happen? You must know that behind the monster is the demon king Cecia, the elf king, the holy dragon king, and their big men who stand on the top of the world, will they sit idly by and let the power of the demon king expand? When the time comes, there will be a big war, and we will be able to reap the benefits. ”
Vincent smiled brightly.
It's still the same cute smile as when I was a child.
XY thought to himself as he looked at Vincent's face. After many years of getting along, he has long regarded this only disciple as his own child.
Whether it's cunning or power, you're the only prince who is eligible to inherit the throne! Whatever stands in your way, I, XY, will cut it for you.
XY swore an oath in his heart to the gods of the heavens.
The night gradually receded, and the dawn of dawn shone on this grassland that had experienced bloody competition. Although it is a grassland, there is no green in sight, and only the cruel image of corpses and ashes dominates the view.
Vultures and hyenas, which feed on corpses, scurry back and forth in the carcass, and because there are so many corpses, it is rare that the two species do not have the slightest conflict, but this is sad.
Something seemed to move in the hill where the corpse had been pushed, and the animals that had been quietly enjoying their food around were alerted by this particular situation.
Little by little, the thing was squeezed out of the corpse, and from the outline it was supposed to be a man, but the blood that had already coagulated him wrapped around him like a red shell, making it impossible to distinguish his face.
Numerous hyenas gathered around, gazing at the dying man with greedy eyes.
"Can't die, can't die! I'm going to be on top of the world, I can't die yet! ”
At this moment, the man who crawled out of the pile of corpses, with unwillingness and hatred, kept screaming in his heart was Balonda.
After receiving such a powerful blow from Cecia, the runes that could heal the injuries were completely destroyed, and the R body, which has super self-healing ability, also reached its limit, and it should be certain death.
However, perhaps it was a strong obsession that turned into a curse that made him unwilling to die, but Balonda miraculously survived.
But that was where the miracle ended.
His R-body had already suffered irreparable injuries, and it was only a matter of time before he died.
Perhaps sensing Balonda's impending fate, a hyena tentatively walked towards Balonda after watching for a while.
"Fuck off! Get out of here, I, Balonda, won't be food for you beasts!" ”
Balonda looked wearily at the hyena approaching slowly, and because his body no longer had enough strength to scream, he could only roar in his heart.
Of course, the inner voice could not drive away the hyenas, and the bloodthirsty beast came to Baronda, saliva flowing from between its sharp fangs.
"No, you can't die, save me, save me, who will save me!"
Realizing that his life was about to end in a sad way, Baronda finally cried inwardly.
"Hey, you want to live, right?"
In the dimness, there was a strange voice of a certain Y yang in my ears.
With the sound of this voice, the hyenas with greedy eyes around them fled as if they had encountered some terrifying monster.
Baronda looked ahead with the last of his strength.
Under the golden sunlight like arrows, two black figures appeared in the field of vision in the sunlight, and as the figures slowly approached, Balonda finally saw the faces of the two clearly.
It was a wizened old man and a beautiful maiden.
The old man crouched down in front of Balonda and looked at the dying man in front of him with a pair of eyes that glowed with a dark red light.
"Want to live?"
The old man's cheeks, pale and thin as ice edges, showed a strange smile.
"Help me, save me!"
The old man's words brought hope to Balonda, who had fallen into the abyss, and he moved his lips slightly.
"In that case, then I'll save you."
The old man nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the girl beside him and said.
"Annie, you know what to do."
"Yes, master."
The girl replied respectfully, judging from her appearance, it should be in the flower season, but the girl's eyes were as lifeless as those of a buried person.
