Since Feige demanded that all of the elves' belongings be kept, the soldiers needed to extinguish all fires before tidying up the scene. They kept bringing sand and water from the neighborhood and supervised each other's work, and order was slowly restored through cooperation. Fitch didn't join in, hovering in the air and using illusion to create the crest of the House of Hall, causing it to glow brightly, unable to be obscured by the burning fire and rising smoke.

The chaos in the camp of the king's army gradually subsided, or at least the fighting between them ceased. This time the losses were terrible, only two percent of the people in the camp were healthy and did not leave, plus two to three percent of the wounded, and the rest either died or ran away.

The camp was in shambles, with large quantities of supplies burned along with the burning tents, and those who had looted and fled threw torches in order to destroy the evidence. Feige noticed that some of the men who rode away were carrying bulging bags, and these people were not necessarily low-level soldiers, but probably some of them were nobles.

The King's army suffered heavy losses in personnel and material after this battle, but more importantly, the defeat of the core elite forces would affect the dominance of the Hall family, and the biggest responsibility for this, Feige believes, is on himself. His proposed approach to maximum deterrence only considered the two sides of the Cardinal Territory and the United Kingdom, and the forged letter that nearly killed Broomfield, as well as the sudden appearance of the Red Dragon and the Flame Serpent Lizard on the battlefield, were clearly not on either side of the standoff. Someone fishes in troubled waters, and the ultimate deterrence slides into an inevitable war, and he is still very naïve to want to stop all this by "drawing the ground as a prison".

"I want peace, but there are people who just want to raise a butcher's knife. Feige clenched his fists and said to himself, "Since peace cannot be achieved before violence, let peace be restored after violence." ”

Prior to this battle, the United Kingdom had the opportunity to achieve its political objectives through deterrence, but that deterrence has now disappeared. There are only two ways to re-establish deterrence: by using violence or by displaying violence. At the thought of this, Feige's whole body trembled, not because of nervousness, but because of excitement. Maybe it's the after-effects of burning and flickering divine souls, or maybe it's the devil's bloodline starting to gain the upper hand, or maybe it's just Feige revealing his true nature as a human being.

Looking down, the situation in the camp was gradually under control, and the guerrillas who could not find their respective commands gathered under the emblem of the Hall family, and actually started the division of labor and cooperation again. Feige saw Marellis coordinating the command, and Beni. Beni is still acting in the image of a male mercenary of "Bei Ye", and her huge voice plays an important role at this time. Feige believes that the biggest threat to the Kings is the Thunder Army at the moment, and he needs to understand Broomfield's thoughts.

So, he summoned a ball of flame at his feet and flew towards the Thunder Army with it. The reason for this is so that everyone in the King's army can see this scene and know that the son of their commander-in-chief did not run away, but went to the front line with the Thunder Army. Feige didn't expect to boost much morale, he just hoped that morale wouldn't crumble.

He stepped on the flames and flew in with ease, but Broomfield was not in such a mood. He saw the fate of the elves from afar, and Feige killed dozens of elves as if he were chopping melons and vegetables with his own strength, and now flew towards the Thunder Army. While it believed that paladins and priests were more combative than elves, was it a good idea to fight? and there was a crucial question: where was the helper hired by the archbishop, the woman who exuded divinity?

A drop of cold sweat slipped down Broomfield's forehead, and he didn't forget Feige's expression and words as he was blocked by the golden circle. The Thunder Army's side, to be precise, did not treat Feige like a nobleman who kept his promises, which severely hit Feige's pride. Pride doesn't die if it's hit, but the backlash that comes with it is possible. Broomfield immediately made a decision, and immediately gave the order: "The whole army withdraws! Return to the camp to rest and defend! The knights of the guards stay!"

"Your Excellency......" There were still people who tried to persuade them, but Broomfield knew what they would say, such as "it is about the majesty of the cardinal", "you must not encourage the arrogance of the enemy", or "you can't admit it, my lord". He didn't give these people a chance to speak at all, and shouted angrily: "Execute the order! Those who violate the order will go to the Sacred Heart to reflect!"

So, before Feige landed, most of the Thunder Army had already begun to retreat, leaving Broomfield and his dozen or so paladins to escort him. When Fitch landed on the ground, Broomfield dismounted and came to Fitch.

"I said there was a conspiracy going on in the dark. Fei Fei was completely unpolite and went straight to Brumfield: "I have shown sincerity and hope that both sides will not be provoked by a third party, and you, as a general at the front, have also acknowledged this." Then, when the third party set up an ambush and raided and besieged my father, the Church sealed me off and cooperated very well with the conspiracy of those men. Do you have anything to say about this, other than not knowing about the ambush and having to obey the orders of the Church?"

"Earl Hall was ambushed? How is he now?"

"He's not good. Feige glanced back at the King's Army camp, then swept his gaze over the knight behind Broomfield. "You didn't take advantage of the chaos to attack, didn't you want to take advantage?"

"I've been ordered to beware of a possible counterattack from the Thunder Army after you have been detained. For this reason, I chose to use the magic advantage of the paladin cavalry to resist step by step, so as to delay the strategy of attacking. Attacking the King's Army camp was never an option for me. This matter is ultimately to be resolved through negotiation, and you are only being caught to have more leverage. ”

"The chips came out on their own, and Don de Mipp smashed it. Feige snorted, "Broomfield, you can help me with a message when you get back." I don't have any evidence to fully link the imprisonment of me to the ambush of my father, plus I have received a lot of favors from the goddess after all, so I don't go directly to the Holy Three Castle to slaughter him now!"

"Feige, you!"

"Although the Church of the Goddess of Truth and Thunder will never be in the company of the evil Red Dragon and the murderous Flame Serpent Lizard, both of which are on the monster hunter's kill list, and this has been the case since ancient times, I know this much better than you!

"Bringing back such words will only increase tensions. Since someone has already secretly ......"

Feige waved his hand and said, "Broomfield, look for the reason from yourself, don't always stare at others." I have just reflected that the strategy of pressuring the archbishop with military preparations this time is problematic, and the responsibility lies with me. I should make up for my mistakes, and I can't let my brother lose the territory he has been governing. There is a very simple solution to this: from now on, I will kill all the troops who enter the territory of the United Kingdom, including the Lighthouse Territory, without permission, as long as they do not surrender. ”

Broomfield's brow furrowed, and he felt as if Feige had changed into a different person. Before they had a barbecue together, the two of them could talk about a lot of things, and what popped up in Feige's mind was some whimsy, but now it seems that except for "killing", everything else is gone. This kind of cold attitude is not good for the church, and it is bad for all people in this world.

"Feige, calm down, there is something strange about what happened tonight, the King's army had already bombed the camp before we arrived. Broomfield said: "Clearly, there is a problem within the King's Army......"

"I've wiped out all the elves, you can see that. When I find that reasoning doesn't make sense, I should use the most direct solution to solve it. Feige responded, "The only thing I'm baffling about right now is just how closely the spirits of Minas Ihir are connected to the Church, and how well they work together. ”

Broomfield shook his head and immediately said: "The elves are not our people, and the Holy Three Castle is very indignant that the elves of Minas Ihir have joined the king's army, and it can even be said that the elves are the common enemies of both sides. I'll investigate this matter myself when I get back, and I'll make sure to turn out all the enemies hiding in the shadows. ”

Broomfield had long believed that a war with the King's Army was not in the interest of the Church, and would seriously affect or even block the rebuilding of the church. Therefore, he has always adhered to the plan of "showing his attitude but not attacking, fighting for bargaining chips and negotiating a settlement", and what happened today also ruined his vision. Next, how to avoid a full-scale war between the cardinal and the United Kingdom became the most important thing, and the elves seemed to be the object of disgust on both sides. Broomfield's definition of elves as enemies also wanted to cushion the hostile relationship between the two sides, after all, the two sides with a common enemy have a common language.

"You denied it so quickly, it made me feel more tired inside. Feige took a deep breath and said, "It's time to chat, now let's leave the lighthouse." I was able to get you out alive only because you didn't take advantage of the chaos to attack the King's army. The next time I step in, I won't be polite, and I'll kill you, and ask your archbishop at the Holy Three Castle. ”

"Feige, don't be provoked, and don't forget the enemy in the shadows. ”

"Take care of yourself, whether you provoke or not, as long as you eliminate all the hostilities, it will be tantamount to victory. Fitch tapped the ground with a cat-teasing stick and teleported back to the camp.

Broomfield felt a little clogging in his chest, unable to say a lot, and didn't know who to fire at him. But he also didn't dare to stay longer, and while Feige hadn't changed his mind to kill back, he hurriedly left with the paladins around him.

What to do next, Broomfield is not sure, but first of all, he must make sure that the Thunder Army does not have problems, especially not to be attacked by enemies hiding in the shadows. Now, there is no question of whether there are enemies in the shadows, the only question that remains is who those guys are and what they want to achieve. The only thing that is still gratifying now is that the strength of the Thunder Army is intact, and he did not take advantage of the fire to rob, so it did not cause Feiqi to counterattack.

Thinking of this, Broomfield was also afraid for a while, the tragic situation of the elf is still vivid, and it will become a worry in his heart for a while. Obviously, how to deal with Feige will be something that everyone in the Church will worry about - and Feige has a relationship with the saints of the Church, so he should be a staunch comrade-in-arms.

What turns a comrade-in-arms into an adversary, or even an undead enemy? Broomfield was horrified, and felt that there was something wrong with this. He raised his head, and for the first time he did not look at the King's Army camp, but in the direction of the Holy Three Castle.

The Thunder Army is gone, and Feige is cheered on by the King's soldiers. In the hearts of many ordinary soldiers, victory is gratifying, but not dying is the most important thing. The departure of the Thunder Army avoids at least a possible confrontation, and everyone has time to lick their wounds. "What are we going to do next?" the crowd gathered and asked.

"Put out all the fires, salvage everything that can be saved, and then go up to the arrow tower to defend it, and wait for me to bring the Count back. ”

"Is the Count still alive?" said the crowd, "So the King's army has not failed, right?"

"Who said the Count is dead?" asked Feige at once, but the crowd couldn't come up with a reason.

"We just think it's good that you're back in command, but it's clear that this will only happen if something happens to the Earl. And the camp is in such a mess, and the Count hasn't come back, obviously something happened......"

Such rhetoric does not fool Feige. After the elves were destroyed, the fighting emotions of being the son of man and the demon of lust were satisfied, and the intelligence that the demon of mind often used to organize conspiracies and the quick reflexes of the mage regained the high ground of the mind. He thought that in the camp of the king's army, except for himself, who was in a hurry with teleportation, no one should know that the elite led by the earl had been ambushed, let alone the battle situation over there. So the phrase "the count is dead" is very problematic.

"Come here," Feige hooked his hand, calling the stained, increasingly nervous soldier to the front. "Can you recall from whom you heard the rumors of my father's death?"

"Uh...... My lord, I was wrong, I can't remember ......."

"No, don't worry, you can take your time to remember. Feige stretched out his left hand, gently placed it on his forehead, and whispered in a soul-luring whisper, "Concentrate, recall, recall, what was the situation like at that time." That memory is in your heart, and now is not the time when it becomes blurry, and you can come back with it......"

It's definitely not enough to just use soul luring whispers, Fei Qi also needs to stabilize the other party's emotions and strengthen his memory, which requires the use of high-level devil soul abilities. The higher devils will play with people's minds and emotions, and the heart demon is the strongest among them, since they can play with it, then there is a way to strengthen it, this is just the same means, different starting points.

"Yes...... I was cleaning the tent and heard someone next to me say it. The man had a goatee, and it was ......" The soldier looked around the crowd, then pointed to several people, and said, "It's him, and he and him." ”

Feige put down his left hand, took out a few gold coins from the space bag and handed them to him, telling him to go down and rest. He beckoned, called over the three people who had just been pointed out, and said with a smile: "It's still the same question, where did you hear the news that my father had an accident?" ”

The whispers of the devil and the strengthening of the soul, Feiqi concocted it in the same way, and touched the melon along the vine. Whether or not he can recall it himself, Feige can only determine its authenticity if he examines it with the ability to turn his mind. The people who spread the rumors never thought that someone would be able to pursue it in this way, and the so-called things that were done would inevitably leave traces, and it didn't take long for Feige to find the source.

"Bennie?" Fei Qi didn't expect this result at all, but several people said that they heard about it from "Bei Ye", and "he" was maintaining order at the time, and said this sentence while commanding.
