As night approached, Bekaz and Conte stood on a hidden hill outside the holy city of Aryvar, gazing out at the melee of the city's walls.

“…… Hmph, outsiders always refer to our necromancer's magical minions as undead, but look at this scene, those extraterrestrial visitors are the real 'undead' in this world right now. Orlanardo, the Guide, and the Cult of the Goddess of Creation keep saying that they are the guardians of the Goddess's follower order, but in fact they are the ones who are in close collusion with the group of foreign adventurers who do not follow the order of this world at all, a group of hypocrites! ”

Bekaz's tone implied sarcasm, but in fact, he was still mostly annoyed, although he had thought that the Goddess of Creation Sect, which lacked basic combat power and was only under the control of the Knights of the Templars, was likely to use those adventurers from outside the world as his own combat power, but he never thought that the Goddess of Creation Sect would gather so many adventurers, and the combat power shown by these adventurers was far from being just a group of stragglers and a rabble, group-style unified dispatch as Bekaz had imagined before, Combined with the fact that adventurers can be resurrected in the city even after dying for a while, this group of real "undead legions" has shown amazing combat power in the defense of the city.

Even if it weren't for Bekaz who had more or less mixed in with so many middle and high-level undead troops in the plague undead legion that besieged the city during the day, I am afraid that the army formed by the adventurers would have completely suppressed the low-level undead legion of the same level as them, and counterattacked from the Holy City.

In response to Bekaz's complaints, Conte on the side only maintained his usual smiling expression, looking as he had always introduced himself as a shrewd Nopra businessman, and had no intention of picking up any stubble.

"That lord" had already told him that Bekaz seemed to be ambitious and calculating, but in fact, in this collapsed world, this person had an extremely fatal flaw - he was too conceited, as the original inhabitant of this collapsed world, he was fortunate to be able to preserve himself by the fragment of the godhead of the goddess of creation, which made Bekaz both to the other aborigines who collapsed with the world, and to the adventurers who entered this world from the outside world with the collapse of the world. all have a sense of superiority that he himself is not aware of. Superiority in strength is secondary, and the most important thing is that he always feels that he is the handful of people who see the farthest, most thoroughly and most clearly in this world, in other words, he habitually treats others as fools.

Regardless of the aborigines who have lost themselves under the influence of the laws of the Honkai world, Conte and the "Lord" behind him have never felt that those adventurers are existences that can be underestimated, and these adventurers who have crossed over from outside the world due to unknown forces Although they know nothing about the inner truth of this world, and even everyone thinks that they are just playing a game, they undoubtedly have the most important possibility that this Honkai world has been missing.

They can restart the stagnant time and destiny lines in the world, and they can also twist and reverse the time and destiny lines that are going on in this world through personal choices and actions; They are weak at first, but they are slowly and inexorably getting stronger...... Although they are not the natives of this world, because of this possibility, these foreign adventurers have undoubtedly replaced the vast majority of the aborigines and become the protagonists of this collapsed world.

But Bekaz didn't seem to admit it, and in his opinion, the appearance of these weak and ignorant adventurers was only a harbinger of the end of the world, so it was understandable that he did not consider the adventurers to cause him so much trouble until the beginning of this war.

It's just that having said that, Conte didn't intend to open his mouth to warn Bekaz, he and the people behind him were just using Bekaz, and there was no closer connection between him at all, and even to tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that he and the adult were either inconvenient to take action directly or had more important things to do, it didn't take Bekaz to come to the holy city of Arya Val to seize the Godhead Fragment and not need Bekaz to do it at all, so Bekaz shouldn't have corrected his views and attitudes towards those adventurers, whether it will suffer in the future because of this, these things are not in Conte's consideration at all.

Conte was silent, and Bekaz didn't seem to expect to hear comfort from the suddenly appeared collaborator, and after watching the battle situation on the front line for a while, Bekaz let out a breath and then showed a hideous smile.

“…… Hmph, but these hypocrites can also play this kind of trick during the day, and those foreign adventurers will all disappear at night, and at that time, there will only be people from the Knights of the Templars and the Goddess of Creation Sect left in the Holy City, although they can't consume much of their manpower during the day, but it's just a little more exciting to the plan. ”

Well, what about the hard-mouthed lines commonly used by arrogant and stupid villains.

Conte thought so, but he still smiled and spoke.

"Then, Mr. Bekaz, after nightfall, we will follow the original plan, and I will first come forward to find a way to attract the masters of the Goddess of Creation Sect and Orlanado, and then you take the opportunity to seize the Godhead Fragment, I hope that after the matter is completed, you will not forget the conditions you promised us."

Hearing Conte's words, Bekaz grinned.

He still couldn't figure out what the purpose of this man named Conte and the guy who had worked with him in Lancarros was. Climb to the pinnacle of the Federation's power, and then wage war with the Empire—do they want to complete the so-called legendary feat of unifying the Southern and Eastern Continents before the world collapses? But what's the use of that? The world is going to collapse, is their brain already abnormal?

Especially this Conte, as one of the few owners of Godhead fragments in the Honkai world, and he also has such a powerful power, but this guy is willing to become another person's subordinate and obey the other party's orders...... What the hell is that guy hiding in Lancarlos capable of doing this?

If in Lancarros before, when he directed the plague attack in Lancarus with that person, Bekaz's senses for that person were still at a threatening and unfathomable stage, then now, Bekaz's heart is completely full of the deepest fear of his person. If he wants to collect all the godheads and become gods, he will have to have a battle with Conte and them in the future, but whether it is Conte or the man from Lancarros, Bekaz is not confident that he can win the battle, let alone a partnership between the two?

But fortunately, for some reason, the two of them still don't know enough about the current situation of this world, and they seem to be more interested in unifying the world than collecting Godhead fragments, and even for the sake of that ridiculous "grand cause", they do not hesitate to use this Godhead fragment in the Holy City as a bargaining chip to cooperate with him, a plague mage, so it seems that things are not out of the question...... At least for now, there's a chance.

"Ah, don't worry, when I get the Godhead Fragment, I will completely destroy Arya Val, and then create an army here to attack the Radiant Empire with you." With that, Bekaz suddenly looked nonchalant and said, "But Mr. Conte, I have to warn you that Orlanardo and the Cult of Creation are not so easy to deal with, are you really sure you can hold them back?" ”

Conte didn't see anything out of the ordinary, still smiling, and the Nopra merchant spoke.

"Of course, although I don't dare to boast about the victory over Oranado, the strongest human being, at least I am still very confident that Mr. Bekaz will be able to hold him back before he takes the Godhead Fragment."

Bekaz nodded in satisfaction and said no more, but when he actually turned around, the corner of the plague mage's mouth curled into a sinister smile in the blind corner of Conte's vision.

An Oranado who has lost his independent soul, this and his current strength are naturally able to deal with it, but what if there is another high-level goblin powerhouse who is at least a hundred levels?

Although he reached a cooperation agreement with Conte, Bekaz, who has always secretly regarded Conte as his future opponent, has never really regarded this guy as his own, and because of this, Bekaz did not tell Conte all the information he had, and among the things he concealed, including information about the fairy girl he encountered before who was obviously also the owner of the Godhead Shard.

When the time comes, Conte will go out first to attract the attention of the other party, and it is very likely that he will encounter the concentrated attack of the two strong men of Orlanardo and the Fairy Maiden without preparation, but if Conte is wounded in the attack of the two strong men because of his lack of preparation, then what awaits him next will definitely not be Bekaz's rescue after obtaining the fragment of the godhead of the Holy City, but will fall into the well without hesitation. Being able to take the opportunity to take all the Godhead Fragments in the Holy City and the Godhead Fragments on Conte's body as his own in one fell swoop is the best thing Bekaz can envision.

So sometimes it's really ironic that Conte thinks Bekaz is a conceited and stupid guy, but he doesn't know that he himself is actually being calculated by this "conceited and stupid" careerist. And Bekaz is the same, he thinks that he has calculated Conte, Orlanardo and Fairy Girl and everyone else into his arranged chessboard like chess pieces, but he would never have thought that in the eyes of the people on the other side, he is the prey that Orlanardo and Rococo are locked in turn.

Intrigues and traps spread silently across the land of the holy city of Arya Val, and just like that, before you know it, the sun is setting, and the time comes to be less than an hour before the player goes offline.

At the head of the Holy City, the Templars began to take over various defense areas to prevent the collapse of the defense line caused by the players when they went down en masse, and seeing this scene, Bekaz also ordered the Plague Legion to begin to shrink outside the city and began to regroup in a low-key manner outside the city, preparing for the real decisive battle of the night.

Players who don't know anything about it will only see this as a signal that today's Fortification event is over, and no one except a longbowman girl can predict what will happen the following night.

The real decisive battle in the Holy City has only officially begun now.
