Both were taken aback. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Harris turned to pick up the spear from the armory, and Peter reflexively raised his right hand.

There is a peculiar ring on the index finger of the right hand.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary delicate ring, with very faint magic fluctuations.

But Maria's sensual words with a hint of provocative tone stopped them: "Two handsome guys, you are already surrounded. If I were you, I wouldn't do that. ”

A vampire opens the curtain of the tent.

Outside is a dense crowd of undead.

――――――――――――――――――

Night Moon hadn't gone too far, she was back on the hill where she had been before the war began.

To save her magic, she lifted the spell of disguise and shielding herself.

The illusion was lifted, and the beautiful black-haired beauty re-revealed her true face, bathed in a thin starlight, and the Queen of the Dead, who was slightly pale due to blood loss, was still breathtakingly beautiful.

The ghosts emerged from her ring, creating arcane traps and barriers around her, protecting and hiding her.

In the flat land at the foot of the hill, there is still a huge Nanda camp.

It was as if everything was the same as when she first arrived a dozen days ago.

But the human camp was burning with flames, and the light of the fire even reflected the clouds in the sky.

This shows that everything is different.

Nightmoon got the artifact she wanted, subdued a large group of dark priests as subordinates, replenished the Black Castle's arsenal, captured a fortified city, and won the war once and for all.

There is only a little finishing touches left.

She was tired.

Although it was only a large-scale illusion and group charm that she cast by driving the scepter, and did not use much of her own magic power, it was really a big burden for her who had lost all her power at present.

Lilou was standing behind her, and suddenly she said, "Queen, you are really clever. ”

"Oh?"

"The subordinates gathered information and speculated that the last human army would be able to resist for many days under the leadership of Princess Elizabeth Wright. And it is possible that she will successfully lead a large number of humans to break through. And your illusions and set-ups have caused her army to collapse in an instant. ”

"It's just a coincidence."

Night Moon is noncommittal.

"But there is one thing that my subordinates are more worried about."

"What's the matter?"

"You have now defeated the human army, but we are almost completely exposed to the human eye. It's a situation you've been avoiding. They will soon send more troops and stronger generals back to retaliate, and they just want to remind you to prepare early. However, with the Queen's intelligence, you must have a plan to deal with it, and perhaps your subordinates have said more. ”

Yeyue raised her eyebrows lightly and said, "Loyalty is commendable." I do have a plan, and I will give you orders directly when I need to use your strength. ”

"Yes, the subordinates are abrupt."

Lilou was silent.

But Midori interjected at this point and asked:

"I also have a couple of questions. Now that these humans have completely collapsed, why not let your army wipe them out completely? Even if their princess returns alive, humans will still come to take revenge on you, right? And what's the use of letting the humans in those cities go? ”

"Indeed."

Ye Yue thought that there was nothing else to do except watch the battle anyway, and it was nothing to explain a little, and said, "The feud has been settled, and it is really useless to let go of so many people." But who said the Holy Light Empire would attack me right away? ”

"You mean?"

"I have some follow-up arrangements. As long as I handle it properly, I'm afraid the royal family won't see me as the first target. ”

Ye Yue smiled, and continued: "Let the princess and a few nobles go back alive, so that they can cause more trouble for the current dominant Holy See in the future." Success, of course, in those little arrangements of mine. ”

"That's ...... so"

Midori felt that he understood: "But the royal family is now absolutely disadvantaged, right?" Most of the upper nobles of the two strongest forces of the royal family were wiped out by you in this battle, so what is the use of the few remnants of their defeated army? ”

"His Royal Highness knows a lot."

Yeyue was a little surprised.

It stands to reason that nature elves should not know so much about the politics of the human empire because of their different ways of living.

"My father is a human fan, he has been observing humans for hundreds of years, and I have been looking for contractors for humans a while ago, so I know a little bit about it."

"That's right......" Yeyue said approvingly, "really knowledgeable." ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

Midori Wenyan was very happy.

Yeyue then explained: "It doesn't need the royal family to really form a balance of power with the Holy See, the royal family is weaker, so we can intervene. ”

"You want to intervene? How to intervene? The leader of the undead, joining forces with the royal family to fight against the Holy See? The royal family doesn't dare, right? ”

Midori was surprised.

Although she doesn't have a very thorough understanding of human society, even she knows that it is impossible for the royal family to be in the company of the undead, and it will be very simple to lose the hearts of the people.

I'm afraid that then the Holy See won't even have to do it itself, and the regime will change hands.

"And Miss Yeyue, you just used the costume of a priest to cast this illusion and let go of so many people, isn't it spreading to give the Holy See a boost?"

"Who said I was going to intervene as the leader of the undead?"

Yeyue's voice was a little playful.

“……”

After a short silence, Midori felt like he understood: "I see...... That's the use of letting go of the humans in those cities? ”

"Not exactly."

Yeyue paused, and then said, "It's also because I suddenly had some guesses about the purpose of that dragonskin magic book at night. ”

"Is that book an artifact too?"

"I don't know. But anyway, it's just civilians who don't have much power, and if you put it wrong, you put it wrong. ”

Yeyue put her eyes back on the battlefield and said, "I will do more experiments and research. If my guess comes true, it's much more useful than just getting an artifact. ”

"Is it more powerful than an artifact?" Midori was happy, "So, when will I be able to start using your magic?" ”

It turns out that Midori has signed an energy-sharing contract with Night Moon, but out of politeness, he has not used Night Moon's magic.

She endured it hard.

"After this battle, let's find a suitable time and place."

Yeyue turned her head, refocused on the trend of the battlefield, and said softly, "I'm afraid that you will have to suffer some hardships then." ”

――――――――――――

Elizabeth fled.

Most of the human army is destined to be left behind.

The humans she wanted to let go of had escaped.

Jane liked what she did.

And Tia once again proved that she was a loyal person.

Maria doesn't know what the finishing touches are on, but Nightmoon notices a few flashes of divine light in the tent of the Divine Blessed Garrison.

It seems that the first youth of the empire is resisting.

"Brave. But it's commendable. ”

But Yeyue believed that it shouldn't be difficult for her powerful subordinates, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, to raid a young man who had not dried up.

Her thoughts drifted further.

Matt, this man knows too much, and if he goes to provide information to the Holy See, some things will not be so easy to do.

So speed up the time.

"Also, where is the moon now?"
