Chapter 970: The Second Demonic Calamity
H2> was shocked and then full of emotion.
Lin An realized that Lancet was settling accounts after the autumn.
She has been independent since she was a child, no matter what kind of predicament she faces, she is used to facing it by herself, rather than asking others for help, especially for more than a year, Lin An has been in a high-pressure environment, as if she has been walking a tightrope, and she has almost no time to think about the reaction of Lancet and other friends after learning that she is missing-
Of course, Lin An knew that they would be worried, but he didn't expect that they would be worried, and even Lancet, who had always been gentle and tolerant, couldn't help but break out.
This doesn't add up overnight.
Although her sudden disappearance occupies an important weight and is the fuse for Lancet's outburst, more dissatisfaction accumulates on one thing at a time.
Lin An didn't expect that her concealment of her kindness from Lancet and them would be attributed to their own lack of ability.
This can't help but Lin An to reflect on his attitude.
Getting along with friends is not just about giving to others.
There is no equal status, there is no reciprocal pay and return, how can there be a friend.
Even if Lin An felt that he didn't need it.
Although Lancet didn't say it directly, Lin An also realized that what he had been doing had inadvertently put a lot of pressure on them, and whether it was from the perspective of a friend or the dignity of a man, she was excessively concealed and maintained, in their eyes, it was a manifestation of her own incompetence.
And this qiΔ, they have not been able to say to Lin Anming.
If it weren't for this opportunity, maybe Lin An would never know what they really thought.
Lin An smiled bitterly.
This may be the difference between the thinking of men and women.
For example, she and Angelina are used to caring for and protecting each other, and Angelia will not feel pressured when she accepts Lin An's protection, but will only be moved, feeling that she is a manifestation of Lin An's love and concern.
But several men, but can not accept blind giving, male instinct makes them accustomed to any relationship, to confirm their worth and status, otherwise they will feel that they have no meaning in this relationship.
"It was my negligence."
Lin An was a little ashamed, she inadvertently hurt her friend's self-esteem, "It's me who ignored your feelings, please forgive me." β
"If your next explanation can satisfy me." Lancet continued to smile.
Still, Lin An caught a slight subtle softening under his smiling mask.
She chuckled.
She knew all too well how to deal with Ranster.
From the beginning of his acquaintance, he had no immunity to her weakness.
But the outburst of the Lancet was not without effect.
Lin An changed his original mind and selectively told SΓΉ Lanster about his experience after leaving the Muse Continent.
Originally, she would have said, but it was far from being as much as it is now.
Of course, she still didn't reveal anything about the crossing and the Tower of Babel, there were too many things involved, and her life was at stake, and even if Lanster knew, he wouldn't blame her for concealing it.
In addition, Lin An said everything he could tell SΓΉ Lanster.
Although it has only been less than two years since leaving the Muse Continent, it has experienced ups and downs and twists and turns during this period, which is unimaginable to others.
So this narrative was narrated until nightfall.
Halfway through, Elizabeth made snacks and black tea, and without pretending to be a waiter, she personally brought them in and filled their stomachs.
She came in and saw that although Lin An and Lancet stopped talking, their faces were solemn, their brows were frowning, and there was an indescribable tense atmosphere in the camp, and she was secretly worried in her heart, but she didn't ask anything and left quickly.
When she was out of the tent, she drove her attendants farther away, and Pyranster's most trusted chief attendant guarded him and did not allow anyone to approach.
In the tent, the whispered conversation gradually came to an end.
Lancet leaned back, rubbed his right index finger against his brow, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Lin An stirred the black tea and took two sips to replenish her hydration, while secretly observing the friends who had changed her impression after seeing each other for more than a year.
He has a steady and resolute face, with the charm peculiar to a mature man, perhaps because of the power of his palms, when he puts away his smile and his face is stern, he gives people a sense of authority without anger.
This is probably what Lancet really looks like in front of his vassals.
It's just this side, Lancet rarely shows in front of Lin An.
Soon, Lancet came back to his senses from his contemplation.
He put down the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows and looked directly at Lin An.
"According to that, the stability that we have obtained since the Demon Calamity is actually like the reflection of the moon in the water, and we have never really gotten it - who would have thought that the comfort and stability of the Muse Continent for more than two thousand years would actually be obtained by relying on the Demon Royals that we hate the most!"
Lancet let out a sigh, "Ann, I think- I understand why you're hiding it. β
"With my trust in you, I think it's unbelievable, if you announce the truth to the whole continent and tell them that the demon clan can attack across the border at any time and cause the demon disaster to happen again, those people will probably send us to the gallows in the name of spreading panic first, and everyone will point to it!"
Even he, when he heard the news, felt that his heart was clutched by fear for a moment, and his heart seemed to be covered by dark clouds in an instant.
If the demon race is really as powerful as Lin An said, if the demon race will really start an invasion war again under the oracle of the demon god, then for the human race at this time, it will be a repeat of the demon disaster.
In the Demon Calamity, less than one percent of the Terrans survived before the Demon Calamity, so to speak, once the second Demon Calamity occurred, no one in the entire Muse Continent, whether it was civilians, nobles, or rulers, would be spared.
"So I'm conflicted, I don't know whether to make this public."
Lin An said, "But now is definitely not the right time to make an announcement, until the Ice Plains Demon Clan is resolved, the ruling class can no longer bear more pressure." β
Anything else, the aristocracy will fall into a panicked collapse, or chaos.
Lin An did not overestimate the aristocracy.
No one is immune to the disaster.
In order to protect itself, the ruling class will inevitably shrink its resources and labor, and spread the pressure to the lower classes of the common people - taxes, military service, hard labor, and extortion and extortion from the upper classes, which are enough to cause countless families to be destroyed in an instant, and wives to be separated.
In any war, it is often the most innocent civilians who suffer the most.
They are also often the last to know the truth.
And Lin An has been busy for so long, under great pressure, and has faced countless times in danger of her life, if in exchange for the preservation and comfort of a small number of nobles, then what is she busy with!
"I will do my best to promote a counteroffensive - this battle can only be won, not defeated!"
Lancet also understands the priority of the matter, and if he doesn't solve the Ice Plains Demon Clan for a day, the all-out preparations for the invasion of the Demon Realm can't be put on the table for a day.
And the Muse Continent also needs a big victory over the demons too much, so as to cheer up for a possible big battle in advance.
"If it weren't for that plague, if it weren't for the army of the Ice Undead, we would have been better prepared, and our odds would have been greater! - That Holy Light Divine Envoy should be slashed with a thousand swords!! "Ranster hated it deeply.
"Don't worry, he must be more painful than a thousand cuts now." Lin Andao.
She left Angus to the warders, who knew what Angus had done, so Lin An was relieved that Angus would not be happy.
"The Muse Continent is certainly not prepared to face a race war right now, and we are weaker than before due to the plague and war, so-"
Lancet paused, "Ann, are you sure the demons will launch another cross-border invasion war?" Is it possible to stop them before this happens? β
"I'll figure it out, but to be honest, I'm not sure."
Lin An smiled bitterly, "At present, there are already four passages of the Two Realms that I know. β
- One space passage that was sealed after the Demon Calamity, one each for the Sky City and the Earth Temple, and the return passage of the dungeon was the last.
"But if I know all four, I guess there are many more that I don't know, and I'm not sure if those are in the hands of the demons."
Lancet said categorically: "No matter what, these four that are known must be sealed first. β
"That's what I thought too."
Lin An agreed, "If it can't be sealed, find a way to destroy it, and if it has been sealed, check whether there are any loopholes." β
"It's not something you can do alone." Lancet thought that Lin An was going to do it alone.
"Of course." Lin An nodded.
The project of sealing the space passage requires a huge amount of resources, manpower and time, and she has to do it alone, for fear that the demon army will all set foot on the land of the Muse Continent.
Before she left, the guards had a thorough and in-depth conversation with Lin An, and naturally they had prepared a large number of precious resources for her, as well as a mature sealing plan, but this did not mean that Lin An could succeed alone.
"I'm going to find a few of the dark blue gods." Lin An had long thought about what to do every step of the way.
Time is of the essence, and she even postponed the promotion, so she will be so disappointed when she sees the calm of the Northern Front Army.
Lancet immediately understood what Lin An meant.
"It's okay, when they learn about this, they will definitely take the initiative to seal the spatial passage, and they have rich experience and extensive contacts, maybe they will know more coordinates of the spatial passage."
"And take 10,000 steps back and say, if the seal fails, the demon clan will come across the border, such as the high-end combat power of the legendary powerhouse, which is our last shield, and they must be prepared to face it." Lin An added.
"It's okay, in this way, the hidden inheritance can also be mobilized, and there are legendary powerhouses pressing the formation, so you don't have to worry about them making trouble." Lancet said.
This is the ruler's typical view of the hermitage lineage, and even if the relationship between Lancet and Andre is not bad, and they are Lin An's eternal supporters, it cannot change the deep-rooted concept that the camp is directed.
"We have the same idea. I was about to pass on this to the Hidden Inheritance through Andre's mouth after I met you, but they all rushed over. β
Lin An was helpless.
Lancet was slightly stunned, and also felt embarrassed by this matter, "Ann originally planned to tell these things frankly? β
