CH.18 Chikas's Advice
"It's you!!" Watching the man slowly emerge from the darkness, both Gardia and Iska recognized each other.
"It's been a long time, you two!" I saw that the prince of the blood clan, Chikas, who had been released by Haruka and them earlier, would appear here.
"Stop!!Don't take another step!!" Eleanor, who arrived quickly, swung her spear in front of him.
"Don't be so wary of me, I'm not here to trouble you. Chikas slowly raised his hands, signaling that he had no intention of fighting.
"Since you don't plan to fight, what does the attack just now?!" Gardia asked hostilely, not believing what the other party said.
"That's just to stop you from going to Demon King City, and it's not very polite, but it's the easiest way to get you to stop. ”
"Stop us, yes, it seems that there are some hidden secrets in the Demon King's City?" Iska stepped forward as well, and looked at Chicas.
"Don't worry, what you see is just a fantasy, the real Demon King City has long since collapsed in the fierce artillery fire before you, if it were nothing more than a ruin. ”
"If it's a ruin, why do you create such an illusion to lure us forward? ”
"Mostima... No, it should be called Hibbert, that guy's reincarnation magic is complete, and the poor woman named Elaine has become his next body. ”
"You!!What are you talking about!!" Iskar angrily tried to rush forward, but was stopped by Gardia on the side.
"Don't get excited, just listen quietly to what I'm saying. Chicastton paused, "After completing the ritual, Hibbert had abandoned the city in the first place, and the troops of the South who fought with you were his outcasts. ”
"Abandoned son!?"
"Yes, in addition to the remaining ruins, the Demon King City now has a huge detonation magic hidden beneath the castle, and once you enter this mist, the power of the magic will flatten a radius of several kilometers.
"What!?" The group was visibly incredulous at his words.
"I'm sorry, we don't have a reason to believe you, and besides, if Hibbert abandons his city and army, where will he go alone!?" asked Eleanor.
"If it's Iska and Gardia, you should remember the white ancient puppets that were once in the territory of the West Country and could be infinitely regenerated. ”
"Those puppets!!" Obviously, Iskar didn't bargain for these puppets before, so he was naturally impressed.
"What do you mean ... Hibbert and those puppets are in the West at this time?"
"No, the West Country is just a front, from the very beginning, his goal is the East Country, which is now open and the defenders are weak. ”
"What!?, you say the land of the east!!" Eleanor seemed more excited than anyone else to hear that Sicili might be in danger.
"Is it the country of the east... Compared to a direct confrontation with Haruka.,Choose Xixili, who is relatively weak, to start?。。。 Gardia began to waver a little.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, this guy isn't our companion, and he's probably just talking here to keep us going. Seeing that the other two were somewhat faltered, Iskar clearly did not believe Chicas's words.
"In short, I have told you all I can say, and I have repaid you for your kindness in saving me from Hibert!" said Chicas, and slowly stepped back.
"Wait a minute!!" Eleanor was about to stop him, only to find that the other party had dissipated into a black mist.
The three of them stood on the ground in a daze, looking at each other. The information that Chikas brought was so shocking to them that if it was true, there was no time for them to hesitate.
"Damn, what are we going to do now?" Iska looked at the two of them uneasily.
"I think perhaps we could have taken his word for it, after all, if we hadn't intervened, he would have been the one who would have been the sacrifice of Hibbert now, not Elalian. Gardia explained.
"Hmm... Damn!!Immediately the whole army retreated!Withdraw from the confines of this southern king city!!" Eleanor ordered loudly to the army behind her.
"Eleanor, are you going to trust that guy?!" Iskar asked loudly as she scolded.
"Since the safety of Lord Sicili is at stake, then I must confirm the authenticity of this information! After she finished speaking, she rode a two-legged earth dragon and led the large army to retreat.
"Let's go Iska, Eleanor's decision is the right one, we can't act hastily. Gardia persuaded from the side.
"Well, now that you've all said so. Iskar nodded silently, and then retreated with them.
Soon Eleanor's troops managed to retreat to the outskirts of the Southern King's City, and a large number of magically controlled puppet soldiers began to march towards the huge Demon King City in front of them......
