Chapter 22: The Vocation of the Demon God~(2/3)
"This thing...... If it's handled like this, don't report this kind of trivial matter, do you want me to die of overwork? This bastard ......"
"The matter of establishing a covert teleportation array...... Hmm, it's going well, tsk, Lord Bachin, it's really useful. ”
And then ...... Core Castle ......"
Charles is dealing with official affairs during this period of time in the Consulate of Crane City, the three fortresses of the undead clan, a huge castle city-state, and it is claimed that it is divided by the three major forces of Crane City, the Ring of Truth City, and the Rain Kingdom, but except for the core personnel of Crane City, who knows that the real leader of the City of Truth is the lone wolf Stewart, the general of Crane City? Under the influence of the two main gods of the elven race, the Weiyu Kingdom did not dare to have the slightest objection to the decision of Crane City, so the vast land that was enough to list the territory of the territory had in fact all fallen into the hands of Crane City.
"This is enough land to be crowned king......"
His Excellency the Chief Governor of Crane City looked at the information reported in his hand and said with emotion: "The kingdom of Gubit is just seven city-states, and three fortresses in the light rain are called kings, and now there is a huge city, three fortresses, and an ancient castle, which is enough to be crowned king......"
"It's still too early to be crowned king."
The quiet voice suddenly sounded, breaking Charles's muttering voice, the latter's face did not change in the slightest, obviously he had already noticed the comer, while greeting the adults insincerely, he looked up lazily, but just looked up and saw Chu Lie striding in, his eyes fell on that familiar face, and his expression couldn't help but be slightly stunned-
The eyebrows on that face are still the same, but it seems to have brushed away some kind of dust, under the cold and solemn, it is no longer the cold and majestic before, but the determination to move forward bravely and never regret it, but there is no lack of high-spirited attitude in the cold, which is completely different from Chu Lie in the past two years, but this change not only makes Charles feel strange, but more familiar-
The face of the lonely paladin back then was always like this, and under the silence was more calm and confident than anyone else, and the will to move forward bravely.
"Hey, hey, is it so fast...... I thought it would take some time to recover my ...... from the majestic impact of being in a high position."
"It is worthy of Chu Lie......"
Murmuring in his heart, the corners of Charles's mouth arced irrepressibly, his arms were outstretched, he waved a piece of information in one hand, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Hey, hey, is today my lucky day?" First of all, the teleportation array has been repaired, and then Chu Lie, you have finally found yourself...... Hahaha, shouldn't you have a few more drinks today! Hahaha......"
As he spoke, he smiled and touched the wine jug on his waist, but before he could pour it into his mouth, a palm was directly pressed on the top of the jug like a ghost, and he saw Chu Lie with a slightly helpless expression, the latter turned his wrist and directly snatched the wine jug in Charles's hand, put it on the table casually, and then shook his head at Charles's smiling appearance and said:
"After the war is over, no one cares about you when you soak in the wine jar, but now, as soon as the undead race is wiped out, as long as the other races are not stupid, they will definitely fight with us, win the battle first, and if you win, I will get you the best wine in the world."
"I thought you wouldn't ask......"
Charles propped his right hand on the table, straightened his body, watched Chu Lie gradually restrain his smile, and said, "After all, you were like being cursed before...... I've been anxious and busy, and my eyes have taken away from the war, although I am in the middle of the Klan, but it seems that we are not in the same world, and I sometimes feel that you are no longer the Lord of Klan City that I know...... But it's okay, it's good that you're back now......"
"I don't know what you've been through, but please remember that Klan City, the Knights, the Dawn Corps, the Vengeful Flame Soul, the Army of the Hundred Ghosts, the Elven Praetorian Guard, these forces that have gradually gathered because of you have been waiting for you all the time, as long as your banner flutters on the battlefield, then no matter where you are, you will never fight alone."
"You're not alone."
The pair of eyes that already had a partial mechanical structure looked at the stunned Chu Lie calmly, raised his palm and pressed it lightly on his chest, his expression was solemn and calm, but it made Chu Lie's heart churn - when he restrained himself because of the identity of the White Emperor, did he ignore those companions who came all the way? When you fall into paranoia, how much will you snub what you once valued? And how much ...... will be lost?
Neglecting your parents because of your dreams, neglecting your friends because of wealth, these are all the same, and when you get what you want, when you look back, there is no one to share the joy behind you, and only the desolation and unspeakable loneliness are left.
Fortunately, it didn't get to the worst step......
"Sorry......"
Just as Chu Lie pursed his lips and was about to apologize, the internal affairs official, who was already approaching middle age, shrugged his shoulders like a shrewd hunter, as if nothing had happened, and casually changed the topic directly-
"Rest assured, everything is already being taken care of."
"After all, I'm still here, and that fox can be regarded as having some strength, but I still have the lion's share."
While speaking, Charles took out a few sheets from the document, scattered them in front of Chu Lie, and said lazily: "Maybe it's because the eldest princess Angelia is persuading that the king of Gubit has not lost the heart to fight, and in order to let them cooperate with us, old Marven also went back to find his comrades, the Holy See is currently resisting the dark devil clan in the eye of Matthew, your teacher, Your Excellency the Presiding Judge has personally written a letter, and has received a positive response." ”
"The Holy See will devote all its strength to attack the rear of the dark devil and delay the troops, the only problem is the country of Qiu Feng, the royal family in that place is simply from the heart to a certain extent, life and death do not fight, like a turtle, suffocated to death is just one or two sentences - the royal family will solve it, please wait with peace of mind."
"Idiot ......"
Sneering contemptuously, pressing his palm on the document, Charles looked at Chu Lie and smiled: "But it's not a problem, but you may need to go over in person......"
"Me, over?"
Chu Lie was slightly stunned, pointed at himself and frowned, "Are you planning to let me assassinate the royal family?" ”
"No, no, no...... It's just to arouse public anger......" Charles was taken aback by Chu Lie, looked at Chu Lie and seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and explained with a wry smile: "The residents of Dune have long been dissatisfied with the inaction of the royal family, and then, and then I carefully asked Mr. Barmas to take the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon God to Dune City to tell a story......"
"Calculate the time, it should be about the same......"
The Land of Dunes: Castle of Kings.
"We're going to fight!!"
"Fight!!"
"I'd rather die on the battlefield than be a coward!"
"Die on the battlefield!"
"Aim for Crane City and fight for your glory with iron and fire!"
"Crane City!!"
"Glory!"
On the largest square, a group of people roared passionately, led by a man wearing armor with a rough and resolute face, every roar would win a tsunami-like response, and the scorching battle intent burned in the air, although the surrounding soldiers came to guard because of the king's order, but there was not the slightest killing intent on their faces, and even the general who was the leader showed a look of impatience.
According to this, in a pavilion about 500 meters away, an elegant old gentleman leaned on the balcony railing, dangling a glass of blood-like wine in his hand, looking at the hot procession with a gentle smile, shaking the wine glass, the bright red wine was stained with a blood-like color, the demon god Balmas raised the wine glass and took a sip lightly, and said with a smile:
"Looks like the mission is done."
