Chapter 574: Awakening

After the end of the Northern War, the Eastern Continent entered a period of calm, but everyone knew that behind this period of calm was a more terrifying war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The defeated Orc Empire showed no repentance, and its Grand Chieftain Lacey let out a terrifying roar in the claws, threatening to give Okasley and the Demon Hunter Knights a little color.

In fact, the news from the intelligence officers of the Divine Claw Capital said that the big chief was a strong man at this time, and he was too busy to take care of himself. His savagery has caused the displeasure of many orc tribes, and if it were not for the remnants of the Abyss Empire to help him, his position as the Great Chief would be coveted by many orcs.

"Is there any news of the demigod powerhouse?" Edward was deploying the forces of the Demon Hunter Knights in the port city of Wacker in the northwest of Austria, with Hermione, Nataya, and Edith standing beside him.

"No news yet. Edith glanced at Nataya, who was leaning against the wall of the outpost, "Our reconnaissance navy has approached the territorial waters of the Orc Empire, and if there is a slight disturbance on the sea, we will be able to get the news as soon as possible." ā€

"Hmm. Edward nodded, for this upcoming abyss empire demigod powerhouse, Edward's heart was full of war intent. Since he stepped into the demigod battle rank, he has rarely been able to find an opponent who can allow him to fight with all his might, and if he wants to move forward on the most difficult path of the demigod plane, an opponent is indispensable.

"As soon as you find out, let the scouts come back quickly. Edward said, "The other party is a demigod powerhouse, once you enter his field of vision, it is difficult for you sea scouts to have a chance to survive." ā€

"It's a pity that the navy is not under our control for the time being. Edith shrugged, "The bastard lords of Ocasre, carried away by the temporary victory, are mostly opposed to General Lancelot's cautious approach. They actually wanted to take advantage of this time to launch an attack on the Orc Empire and completely eradicate the hidden danger of the Orc Empire. ā€

"Hehe, it looks like Lancelot and Haydn's prestige is not enough. Nataya interjected, "At this time, the unity of command cannot be achieved, and you Okasre are helpless." ā€

"There's no way around that. Edith surprisingly didn't argue with Nataya, a fellow intelligence worker, and was obviously a little troubled by the situation at home, "Most of these lords are meritorious lords, and most of our troops and territories from Okasray at this stage, General Lancelot and Duke Haydn have nothing to do with them. ā€

"In that case, why follow their ideas and let them send troops to the fortress and enter the territory of the Orc Empire. Nataya sneered, "Let them feel the strength of the Abyss Empire's forces, and you can shut them up." ā€

"Alright, Nataya, don't say it. Edward paused, then said, "Hermione, how are the spellcaster forces deployed?"

"It's done. Hermione said, "So far, we have deployed a Magic Eye reconnaissance line on the western coastline of Okasra, and no matter where reinforcements from the Abyss Empire land, we will be able to detect them as soon as possible." Edith, you can bring your scouts back at sea, and we don't need to add casualties. ā€

"I try to convince the nobles. Edith sighed and said, "If it weren't for Lancelot and Haydn's constant attachment to Okasray, we would not be able to do it anymore. ā€

"Now that the political situation in Okasley is in chaos, the lords are already faintly showing signs of taking over. Those bastards only cared about fighting for power and profit, and they didn't pay attention to the crisis at all, and even the two envoys of the knight city-state and the black iron city couldn't stand it anymore. ā€

"Hehe, what do you mean by that?" Nataya said a little gloatingly, "Do you want to join my Demon Hunter Knights?"

"Of course I'd like to join if I could. Edith laughed, put her arm around Edward's shoulder, and said, "After all, I have a brother like Edward, so I don't have to worry about being bullied." ā€

"Where do you put your hand!" Nataya scolded.

"What? you're not happy just to put it on your shoulder?" said Edith, continuing to taunt, "and even Edward's brother's wife, Lady Hermione, didn't say anything. Are you interested in Edward?"

Edith's words stunned Hermione and Nataya, who glared at Edith as if someone had broken his mind.

"Okay, don't argue. Edward touched his nose under Hermione's amused expression and said, "Edith wants to join the Witcher Knights, I welcome it, and if Mr. Lancelot encounters any difficulties, we will do our best to help." After all, he has a life-saving grace for me, even in the face of the rupture of the Okasley Kingdom, we Demon Hunter Knights will not hesitate to do it. ā€

After the gesture, Edward seemed to be a little fed up with Edith's openness, and flew straight down from the watchtower and entered the portal.

"You wait for me!" Nataya snorted heavily, and with a jump, she descended from the watchtower and entered the portal.

After setting up a detected magic outpost on King Okasre's western coastline, all members of the Demon Hunter Knights returned to Free City to prepare for the arrival of reinforcements from the Crossing Sun and the Abyss Empire.

On the third day before the time of travel, Edward habitually teleported to the Witcher to chat with the sleeping Hayley, where he was on the spot.

Hayley, who was supposed to be lying down and sleeping, was half-sitting in her place at this time, communicating with Aisha's soul. When she saw Edward, tears glistened in her eyes.

"......Haley! You're awake!" Edward was overjoyed, and in a flash his figure rushed over and hugged her.

"Edward!" Hayley also wrapped her arms around Edward's neck, pressing a slightly pale face against his, "I finally see you again, Edward, tell me it's not a dream. ā€

"Yes, it's not in a dream. Edward straightened Hayley and looked at her carefully, "Your soul has broken through the shackles and returned to reality again. ā€

"All the while, my consciousness sank in a place where I couldn't see any light. Hayley stroked Edward's face with her hand and said, "It's your call that keeps my little hope alive." ā€

"How are you feeling now?" Edward asked.

"Very well, in addition to the fact that my body is a little stiff, I feel that my soul has become stronger than ever, and the heart of faith that was once polluted by evil energy also seems to purify the evil aura brought by evil energy, making the heart of faith even stronger. ā€

"And, I saw a door......"

"That's the Demigod's Gate!" Edward laughed, "You've just entered the Legendary Battle Rank and you'll be able to see the Demigod's Gate, and you'll have a smooth road to the Demigod's Gate, and ......"

"Don't say so much, Edward. It doesn't matter what else matters, what matters is that I have you by my side. Hayley looked directly at Edward, her eyes full of longing, "To prove that this is not a dream, kiss me!"
