As the light on the girl's body dimmed, the armor made of magic began to dissipate. The warriors of Andrarui were finally freed from their blindness, and they knew by hearing that there was a battle between the Children of the Abyss and the Apostles of the Sun God. But when they thought that the enemy had been defeated and His Highness had won, they were at a loss to find that their lord was gone.

The cyan scales on the snake demon Savaroon's body were already scorched yellow at the moment, and even relying on the dragon's breath technique could not make him feel better. Relying on his hands to climb to the side of the ship, the strong snake demon held on to the fence and retched...... The magical brilliance of the enemy made him feel extremely uncomfortable just like the mysterious rays mentioned by His Highness! As for the canine demon who was still curled up on the ground beside him, the short hair on his body was now scorched black, revealing the ugly red and black skin underneath.

Fortunately, compared to the dragon warriors with varying degrees of burns, the already badly injured humans were even more unbearable, and the clothes closest to the Sun God Apostle were almost completely burned, and their exposed skin was covered with large and small blisters and black scabs.

A shrill whistle suddenly caught the attention of most of the people, and it was Livia, who had been the furthest from the Sun's messenger from the beginning to the end on the barge. Although the Radiant Armament was still like the sun in a clear sky to her from a distance of more than ten meters, she could not look directly at it, but with the limited vision blocked by her fingers, she could see the moment when the Children of the Abyss fell into the water.

A Naga male emerges from the side of the boat, and upon hearing the succubus's command, the Sea Clan's face changes dramatically and quickly plunges into the turbulent current. As for why he appeared in the river at this time, the reason for this is only known to Andrei and his attendants, who made such an arrangement.

At the same time, the large ships belonging to Andrari on the other side of the river had also rushed to this side because they had discovered the disturbance on the barge, and by this time had succeeded in connecting the barge with the barge by cable. The warriors who had disembarked from the ship had gathered in front of Livia in line with the training procession, but the succubus had a gloomy face and did not care about these details at all.

"These enemies have plotted an assassination plan against His Highness, and they are all captured!" the attendant pointed to the human on the other side of the barge who had almost completely lost the ability to resist, "and gather the people of the port as quickly as possible, His Highness has fallen overboard, and his whereabouts are unknown......"

The succubus's last words caused an uproar among the soldiers who had appeared to be well-trained, and then the herald on the warship quickly turned around, stepped onto the only horned eagle beast equipped with the warship, and spread its wings in the direction of the harbor.

The human captives who were escorted aboard the ship one after another found that almost all the alien soldiers, whether demons, orcs, dwarves, or elves, all looked at them with hatred, hostility, and forbearance.

Escorted by the soldiers, Livia walked up to the blonde girl who was sitting on the ground, her left forearm and left ankle were completely swollen, and her delicate little face with tears made a nameless anger rise in the heart of the attendant.

Although Anderra's messenger was already looking so miserable, he was still unconvinced: "Your plot has been discovered by us! What a child of the abyss, it's nothing more than that, I hit the core of the magic power, and it must have been ......."

Syllable!

A crisp slap was slapped into the blonde girl's face, and Anderra's apostle was stunned for a moment with large blue eyes, and uncontrollable tears burst out of her eyes again.

"Your Highness has made it a rule from the very beginning that you cannot be violent against a captive unless you refuse to cooperate. Livia pointed to the purple bruises on the other party's slender neck, but the corners of her mouth kept trembling as she spoke, "If Your Highness wants to kill you, do you think your neck will be tougher than your arms and ankles!?"

"This is just a trick for you to play with people's hearts, you think I ......" However, the blonde girl looked at the young succubus with a cold face and finally did not finish her words, but she didn't know if it was because she was afraid of the other party's slap, or if she herself had begun to feel weak.

In the end, the Sun God Apostle, who lost the ability to resist, was pulled onto the ship by two elven female rangers in a daze.

"Even the High Priest of the Sun God will have to pay a heavy price when the Radiant Arms are activated, and the young girl will not be able to grasp that power again for at least a year. Despite the words of relief, Arret's face was as ugly as that of Livia, and the young ranger looked at the vast river and the noisy humans on the shore, apparently worried about the same thing as the succubus.

"What are you holding in your hand?" asked the young squire, but the young squire officer didn't look at what was in the Elven Ranger's hand.

"I'm wondering why His Highness didn't use a switchblade, a theatrical prop......," Arrett stared at the bloodied dagger in his hand.

"Your Highness will not leave a tongue behind because of such details, whether it is to the enemy or to your own people!" Obviously, although Arrett did not know the full plan of the Children of the Abyss before, he quickly understood the general reason for the young lord's actions after the incident.

"The final battle is about to begin...... "The Elven Ranger muttered to himself as he looked at the noisy human camp on the shore.

......

Until the sky darkened, the Fanjia people who searched downstream for dozens of miles along the Emerald River still failed to find any trace of the Children of the Abyss. This has alarmed all the citizens up and down Andrari, not only the Eldest Princess and other watcher leaders who are currently staying in the Emerald River Valley, but also the Wind Chasers who are connected to the command are also rushing towards the city called Andrarui to the east of the Whispering Forest.

Early the next morning, the leaders of the various trades who received the news led a collective strike of their craftsmen, including many shop owners, who gathered in front of the town hall in Andrarui to protest in a solemn protest against the lord's previous war measures.

"We shouldn't have tolerated the human invaders in the first place!

"It turns out that it is completely impossible to negotiate with the faithless mob on the other side of the river! They have no idea what the word peace really means! We should not hesitate to drive the invaders out of our homes, even at the cost of bloodshed and sacrifice!"

In front of the gates of the council hall, the agitated crowd shouted slogans of declaration of war, vowing to put to death all those who had harmed the lord. At the same time, the atmosphere of the main battle in the barracks outside the city of Andrarui had also changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and only a day earlier, the young warriors had been glad that the adventurers had asked for negotiations and that the war would end early.

In one day, a person's safety has caused such a strong contrast, just like the children of the abyss once said, the will of the people can be guided and swayed by some inexplicable information most of the time.

Although His Highness's plan has worked far better than expected, the young succubus who is currently presiding over the work is completely dejected and depressed. As His Highness often said, "A wise man may make a mistake", and a blonde girl never mentioned in the information added fuel to his plans, but at the same time put the Children of the Abyss himself in danger unknown to all.

"I'm sorry, Lord Livia...... If I had been a little more vigilant at that time, I might have been able to find His Highness who had fallen into the water in the first place. "The young succubus was surrounded by a Naga warrior who had lurked under the barge at the behest of the children of the abyss, and the shaking caused by the moment of the argument between Crane and André was not really an accident, but he deliberately pushed the anchor that held the hull at the bottom of the river.

Livia raised her hand to signal the other party not to say anything, and the young succubus lying on the table slowly supported herself, revealing a haggard face, "This is a mistake in judgment by His Highness himself, and it has nothing to do with you...... His Royal Highness Luo Shan They are about to arrive, and I will have to trouble you to report on the progress of His Highness's search in a moment. ”

......

The hall was packed. The two princesses including Her Royal Highness Irion, the High Priestess Enriel, the Druid elders Katrion and Judeon, the Wind Chaster's representative Lady Sidney Bailang, and even the Qingsan Plum represented Atena Red Night were all present, while the dwarves and orcs included many elders, workshop leaders, and guard leaders.

The first words that Livia said caused everyone present to be in an uproar.

"The assassination of His Highness was actually planned by His Highness himself. Amid the exclamation and uproar, Livia noticed that only the elves represented by Her Highness Rozan did not react much, as if they had known the news from early on.

"This matter was not intended to be kept from you all the time, and His Highness was originally prepared to inform you personally after the end of the war, but now it seems that it is no longer possible to carry out the original plan. Our search failed...... We were unable to locate His Highness in the first place. ”

With the report of the Naga warrior, the people in the meeting began to slowly quiet down again, as if the plan and the conspiracy itself did not matter, and the only thing that worried everyone was Andre's own safety.

After the Naga warrior finished reporting, Her Royal Highness the Elven Eldest Princess Luo Shan stood up very rarely, and comforted everyone: "Regarding the safety of His Highness Andrew, please don't worry too much, with the seed of Garanord, even if the internal organs are injured or suffocated, it cannot threaten his life in the real sense. Perhaps the first thing we have to do now is to listen to Livia's full explanation of why Andre is doing this without telling everyone, and whether he should continue the plan according to his arrangement, or whether he should make it public!"

When the elven princess finished speaking, the succubus attendant got up and walked to the middle of the prototype conference room, where the Son of the Abyss himself used most often.

"Your Highness thinks that the gathering of more than 6,000 adventurers in the Emerald Valley just because of some specious rumors is a very unusual thing in itself. While you all want to avoid war as much as possible, Your Highness himself does not think that this is the right thing to do...... If these human adventurers gathered for the sake of imaginary interests cannot be taught a painful lesson that is difficult to accept, and the power and ruthlessness of Andrarui cannot be conveyed to the orc tribes above the wasteland and the human city-states on the other side of the wasteland, then the disputes caused by interests will endlessly entangle Andrari, who is still in the beginning of development. As for the so-called peace talks, they are all the more self-defeating! If the aggressors know that even if they cannot defeat Andrarui, or even if they have nothing to do with us, they will still be able to retreat from our territory, then our good days will almost come to an end. ”

Although the succubus who had been sleepless all night looked haggard, she still impassionedly explained to everyone the actions of the children of the abyss: "The above are the original words of His Highness. Therefore, it was completely impossible to negotiate or even supply the enemy with food for the return journey from the beginning, even if Andrari had to pay more blood and sacrifice for it!"

"His Highness has confirmed his decision to everyone with his actions and personal safety, and although he has no way to stand here and announce his decision to everyone, I still hope that everyone here will support His Highness's previous decision!" After saying this, the young succubus slowly walked back to his place.

"Now it's up to the parliamentarians to set an example on the issues that Secretary-General Livia has discussed, and those who support the fight to the end, please stand up with me!" said Grand Druid, who is also the speaker of the Andrarui Parliament, Yudeon, who was the first to take the lead. Such a decisive approach was simply because he had always believed that the peculiar young man had made a judgment that was entirely correct.

......

In the temporary cells of the detention center in the city of Andrarui, adventurers who had already received basic medical treatment were separated into two well-guarded cells, almost all of whom were cleats and bandages. Crane Enric was placed in the same room as the blonde young electorate because he had been subjected to violence by his former peers. Almost everyone thinks that the only guy who wasn't hurt is the one who has pushed them to such a situation.

Adolf was the only one who was skeptical about what had happened during the negotiations yesterday.

The leader of the adventurers, known as the "Devil", quietly walked to the iron railing near the next cell, and gestured to the bitter-looking Crane opposite him.

Just as Adolf had believed, Crane did not flinch for fear of retaliation, but cautiously looked at the guards outside the room and quickly leaned in.

"Why the hell did you attack the other party's leader!?" Adolf asked in a solemn whisper.

"That dagger is his ......"

Although he didn't make it completely clear, Adolf still understood what the other party meant, and suddenly everyone didn't really see it clearly, and he felt that it seemed completely unreasonable for Crane to do this.

"Is grabbing him by the collar also an illusion that he controls you!?"

"My sister is in their hands...... The box he was holding contained Chrissy's ears!!" Crane turned his head in pain and horror to look around, and the blonde girl closest to him and Adolphus was lying quietly in the hospital bed specially prepared for her.

"He didn't think about making the negotiations go on from the beginning!" Crane said with remorse on his face, "I don't know why, but that child of the abyss probably didn't think about letting us go back alive in the first place!!"

On the hospital bed covered with white sheets, the blue eyes of the blonde girl who were originally looking at the ceiling involuntarily leaned in the direction of the two who were whispering...... If it is a child of the abyss, he will definitely not choose to whisper something in front of the "superman" who has a perception of more than thirty.
