Most of the people of the Kurt Kingdom are not aware of this yet, but for some reason, panic is quietly spreading......

"A floating city of the Arcane Empire landed at the junction of the Kolo Kingdom, the Kurt Kingdom and the Principality of the Howling Wind, and the troops were divided into three ways to start a war with the three countries at the same time, but when they invaded the Principality of the Howling Wind, they were directly defeated by the Black Dragon Grand Duke sitting on the border, and even the Grand Arcanist died. ”

Undel took his phone and summed up what he had just learned and told Grush.

With that, he raised his eyes to look at Grush, who was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Don't you feel happy?If nothing else, those nobles on the border of the Kurt Kingdom will most likely be directly defeated by the army of the Arcane Empire, and if they surrender in time, they may be able to save a small life, but I don't think they can do it." ”

Grush was silent for a moment and shook his head, "...... I'm more worried about the civilians. ”

Hearing this, Ondel raised his eyebrows and asked with a strange expression: "Is it possible, do you still think that the Arcane Empire will specifically target civilians?"

"Even if it is only affected, the civilians cannot bear it. The paladin's voice was low, "What's more, no one is sure if the Arcane Empire's army is a 'real' human - it's like on the border battlefield of the Principality of Sorrowful Winds, the soldiers who had been knocked away by the Grand Duke of the Black Dragon, who should have died, and who should have been seriously injured at all, got back on their feet and turned into a group of 'undead'. This has already happened, so I'm not sure......"

It's a sparse number, but it's happening.

In order to deal with the Arcane Empire, the entire world of Assatom was united, at this time, their message system was already common, after all, the value of information lies in 'communication', and now the intelligence exchange system has been initially established, although Grush and Ondel did not directly participate in the war, but also got a lot of useful information from the intelligence system.

They didn't know if this was an individual case or if it was the 'soldiers' of the Arcane Empire, and for Grush, the civilians would suffer no matter what.

In times of war, civilians are the most sinful existence, their lives are not guaranteed, even under the pressure of the harshest lords, they can at least be numb to 'live', once the war comes, then death will come randomly.

Grush wants to change this situation, not only by the oppression of commoners by the aristocracy, but also by 'ending' the war in this world.

After he had conquered a few territories, such an idea had sprung up in his mind, which seemed ridiculous even to him, but ...... If you don't try, who knows if you can succeed?

Serena's maid has brought a whole new change to this world, so maybe even the 'war' may be completely resolved.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, let alone the 'end of the war', it is a question whether he can protect the civilians under his rule and survive in the upcoming 'Second Austro-French War'.

The flames of war are spreading across the land, and the whole world will be dragged into the quagmire of war, centered on several floating cities.

Fortunately, although the Kurt Kingdom looks relatively powerful, it is actually decaying, which was a bad thing in the past, but it is a good thing now, at least the Arcane Empire will not set its sights on it until it has destroyed other powerful nations.

Looking at Grush's back, Ondel smiled helplessly, "Actually, I don't think the main problem in the Kurt Kingdom right now is not the Arcane Empire. ”

"Lower Plane ......" Grush closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The Arcane Empire won't set its sights on the Kurt Kingdom, but that doesn't mean the Kurt Kingdom is safe.

In fact, on the contrary, the Kingdom of Kurt may become even more dangerous because of it!

The mighty Arcane Empire is about to go to all-out war with the world of Assatom, and at that point, even the gods of light and justice will have no time to take care of other things, and it is the perfect time for the filthy creatures of the lower planes to invade Assatom.

As the 'Abyssal Blood War' intensifies, both demons and demons need more souls, so they will inevitably be involved in the next war.

Moreover, it is also possible that the evil gods will choose to come out at such a time, and even not only the evil gods of the Assathom world, but also the evil gods of other worlds will come here.

'Chaos' is the best accompaniment to death, and as soon as chaos comes, death will follow, and this is something that death cannot prevent.

"What's the use of worrying?" Undall sighed, "what should come will come, unless you can deal with all the life in the lower planes, otherwise, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later." Instead of thinking so much, it is better to think about how to take down other territories, and only in this way can the people's resentment be reduced.

"If their negative emotions attract the lives of the lower planes, then they are not the only ones who will be harmed!"

Grush was silent again, and Ondel's words sounded cold, as if he were gossiping, but the truth was so cruel.

The civilians of this era do not have any power, and if they are truly threatened with their lives or greatly humiliated, the only thing they can do is to sacrifice their lives to summon the help of evil gods and demons......

At this moment, the red dragon suddenly twitched his nose, "Oh, by the way, Grush, from just now, I seem to smell something unpleasant. ”

Seeing the suspicious gaze that the paladin threw at him, Ondel pinched his nose and frowned, "Probably...... The 'stench' of creatures in the lower planes? Boy, don't you feel anything?"

Grush's eyes froze and he shook his head slightly, "I don't feel anything, Mr. Ondel, do you really 'smell'?"

"I can smell the stench of the soul even from a long distance. "I have dealt with them more than eight hundred years ago, and I still can't forget the smell...... Of course, if they really want to hide, I can't find it, but the problem is that they don't seem to plan to hide any longer. ”

Grush's brows furrowed slowly, and he whispered to himself, "Something to do with me?"

As he spoke, he picked up the sword and the codex, and the red dragon had already walked to the door at this time, and curled the corners of his mouth at him, "Let's go, I know what you're going to do, although I also think it's weird, if they really don't want to continue hiding, then you should be able to feel it...... But you don't have to think about it to know that you definitely won't let go of a clue. So, keep up!"

Grush walked beside Ondel and sighed slightly: "Seriously, Mr. Ondel, you have helped me so many times, I don't know how to thank you......"

"If you're really grateful, you're marrying Sophia!" Ondel teased, touching his chin, "My daughter likes you very much, but you haven't given her a response for so long, and she complained to me the other day." ”

The paladin pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Ondel, don't be kidding, I'm in this state now, and I'm not suitable for marriage and children......"

"But what about your mother?" the teasing expression on the red dragon's face became more and more obvious, "I think she must wish her son could find a wife, even if she doesn't want to have a grandson, at least, what about a daughter-in-law?"

Grush shook his head again, and was about to say something, when he suddenly froze in place.

He and Ondel glanced at each other, and the two figures suddenly disappeared in place.

The flames that rose to the sky reflected the lead-gray sky!
