Chapter 11: Betrayal
There was still snow in the sky, but before the snowflakes could hit the ground, they were drowned in the splatters of blood and dissolved in them.
The slaughter continued, and the human side had finally managed to organize an effective defense after losing nearly half of its living forces. But this defense didn't do much, and humanity was still being defeated.
In the sky, the general on the human side is suspended. But he was in a bad state now, and the magic that was rolling around his body was becoming very weak. He was powerless to care for his army, for what he had to face was more terrible than the monsters.
"Huh...... Three legendary nightmares. If I'm not mistaken, even with your so-called kings, there are only six legends of the Nightmare Clan! Now that half of them have been dispatched, you really look up to me! ”
The general looked at the three figures levitating in front of him resentfully, and laughed a little mockingly.
"To be honest, the slave family is not the kind of nightmare that likes to bully too much, it's just your weird speed, if you don't find a few more legends, I'm afraid it won't stop you from escaping!"
One of the seductively dressed women teased him. She is not as ugly as other nightmares, but rather a thrilling, voluptuous beauty. She looks no different from a human, even if she is thrown directly into the human world, she will only get enough attention because of her beauty, but no one will suspect that she is a nightmare.
"Imperial General - Drunk! Hehe...... Have you been on the front line for the Empire, fighting against this race of concubines for a full sixteen years? ”
The nightmare smiled coquettishly.
"There's really no point in resisting! Is it worth it for you to fight the entire race of Nightmares here? Don't you know what kind of empire you're protecting? ”
The Imperial General couldn't help but frown, wanting to run away immediately. But not to mention that he simply didn't have enough magic to support him to escape, even if he was in his heyday, facing the three legends, there was no possibility of escaping.
All he could do now was listen to this nightmare speak in silence, and he could delay for a moment until reinforcements arrived.
Although, he didn't know if there were any reinforcements that would come to his rescue......
The nightmare on the other side seemed to see through his thoughts, but he didn't break it, just waved his hand, and a scroll appeared in front of the general out of thin air.
"This is the empire you protect, so corrupt, so cruel! According to the above data, about 15 million people die in the empire every year, of which about 3.5 million die of natural diseases and old age, and about 4 million people die on the battlefield. Can others ......"
Seeing that the general's pupils shrank slightly, the teasing voice sounded again.
"Of the remaining nearly half of the people, three million died because of cannibalism, and the remaining four and a half million were all killed directly or indirectly by your so-called nobles and so-called royal families!"
"Those nobles are walking on the road, and if they see a person who is not pleasing to their eyes, they may kill him directly. Your so-called human world has taken on a morbid order, with the nobility and other humans. All human beings, except for the aristocracy, will not go to the kind of place where the nobility exists. ”
"You might as well think of your so-called Noble Academy. Oh...... If memory serves, it seems that there is a school called the Central Imperial Academy, which sends their students to this battlefield every year to participate in battles. But you can also recall that your soldiers are not trying to please them as much as possible? Once there is danger, I'm afraid even you won't be able to explain it! ”
"The concubine also inquired a little, it was an academy composed entirely of nobles, and it also announced such a high mortality rate in righteous words! Ha ha! It's really a laughing concubine! ”
"Every year, thousands of lives are sacrificed to protect those young ladies and gentlemen! It's cruel! Those young ladies didn't die at all, but the academy felt that they were doing a little badly, and sent them back to their respective families, and by the way, told them that their families announced their deaths. ”
"Say no more!"
The general seemed to be unable to listen anymore and roared loudly. But the nightmare had no intention of stopping, and said to himself.
"Hmm...... The concubine suddenly thought of a funny thing! The amount of resources that the Empire supplies you every year is huge! But the resources that really come to your hands are probably less than one-tenth of what the royal family has allocated to you! Most of them were replaced and divided by those nobles! And your soldiers, it is precisely because of these inferior equipment that they have been replaced, that the casualties are getting worse every year! And poor you still think that our Nightmare Clan is getting stronger and stronger! ”
"I said it, don't say it!"
The general seemed to be on the verge of collapse, he never thought about what the country he was guarding was like, he just knew that he could do it.
Now that I think about it, the place he guards is really ridiculous!
He rushed forward desperately, not considering that he didn't have enough magic to launch even an effective attack. But he just wanted to rush forward and punch this nightmare in the face and shut her up!
Of course, he was framed. I was stopped by the nightmare that had been listening silently as bystanders. Each of them grabbed a hand, immobilizing the general.
And the nightmare who was talking turned a blind eye to all this, only a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"You people! For those nobles of the empire, it is a dog! No! It's an insult to say that you dogs are such an animal! Like slaves, they guard the land for them, but what do they have to pay? A medal that doesn't mean anything? Or is it a casual mention after you've won a battle? What a pity! Is it the price of life to pay for that meaningless compliment? Hum! It's ridiculous! ”
"You know! In their eyes, all human beings, except for the nobility, are slaves! It's just that some slaves play a bigger role! And you're just the biggest slave in it! Even if you're a legend, you're just a slave to them! ”
"Besides, reinforcements are unlikely to come, they will not take the lives of nobles for the lives of slaves! And ......"
The nightmare pointed to the battlefield below and smiled cruelly.
The battle below is over, and humanity is almost completely wiped out. But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that most of them are still alive, but they have lost the ability to fight.
The nightmares seemed to be manipulated, and the great axes in their hands rested on the necks of the humans who still had the breath, and as soon as they let go, they would meet death.
"Join the Nightmare! Concubinage is not a race that is as corrupt as humans! And...... If you don't join, none of the remaining humans will survive. ”
"So...... What are your options? ”
The general's eyes widened and his face struggled. He was no longer afraid to betray the Empire, because such an empire was no longer worth protecting.
He didn't doubt the truth of everything that the nightmare had stated, for he had long sensed that something was wrong with the Empire. It's just that at that time he has been comforting himself, reassuring himself that it was a delusion.
But the nightmare's words shattered the illusions in his heart, and he had to face reality.
And what he is sticking to now is only his bottom line as a human being. However, looking at the dying companion on the ground, my heart was full of entanglement.
A yellow scroll appeared in front of him abruptly, along with a pen. Then, the seductive voice of the nightmare sounded.
"Sign it off! After signing this agreement, you will no longer be human! You're going to be a nightmare! This is an ancient agreement connected to the god of nightmares, who can completely transform your physical body into a nightmare. Not only will your companions be saved, but you will also have more power than you are now human! ”
The general, again, was shaken.
Maybe this is the best ending!
Suddenly, more than a dozen green gems appeared around the three nightmares, and then the pink light exploded, knocking the three back from a distance, and even the weakest of them was blown apart, obviously suffering a certain degree of injury.
It's just that the female nightmare didn't seem to be hurt in this explosion, and she made a look of unfinished thinking and licked her lips.
"Sneak attack? It seems that when I saw that the drunken man was going to come to the concubine's side, I couldn't bear it anymore! But this is also a general! Sneak Attackers! ”
"But compared to someone like you, I seem to be more upright!"
The pale pink circle unfolded in the air, and the petite figure stood in the air, red books open in her hand, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and then narrowed her cherry-colored left pupil.
"What? Do you still want to take back this man who has half a foot in a nightmare from the concubine? ”
The girl glanced at the struggling drunkenness on her face, and lightly dropped a sentence, completely shattering the drunkard's remaining confidence.
"I'm not human, and I'm not your reinforcement. So, your decision has nothing to do with me. So just do what you want! ”
"Hahaha!"
After the girl said these words, her drunken eyes suddenly flickered. Then came the nightmare's arrogant laughter.
"Are you here to make fun of the concubine? also persuaded this guy to make a choice with his own heart, isn't this a clear way to let this guy join us? ”
The nightmare paused suddenly, the corners of its mouth curled, and suddenly appeared in front of the girl, a murderous voice with a strong wind.
"But before that, I have to settle the matter of your sneak attack on me just now!"
The girl slowly lowered her head at the same time, her pink hair covering her eyes, and a strange smile on her face.
"Do the math! You unreasonable woman! ”
Then, a sharp claw slowly stabbed at the girl......

To be honest, my plot is a bit jumpy.
