Chapter 393: What are you carrying your sword for?
"Hehe, I see you don't cry and beg me this time......"
Before dawn, a sneer came from Lin Lei's room.
Ada, who had just walked to the door, was stunned, which unlucky guy provoked His Royal Highness the Prince?
He hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and knocked on the door: "Your Highness, you have a guest." β
"Guest?"
Lin Lei opened the door: "Who?"
The sky is not yet light, the sky city is filled with thick clouds and mist, and the streets are beautiful like a fairyland.
Dressed in blood-stained armor, Brooke stood in the harbor waiting for Lynray to appear - behind him, a floating boat full of panicked refugees who were not allowed to disembark because they had not been allowed to disembark.
"Brooke!" Lin Lei came to the port: "I have heard it all, and you really got Reinhardt to agree......"
He was suddenly stunned and found the group of refugees in rags.
"What's going on?"
"Lord Prophet. Brooke saluted Lin Lei with a sad face: "They are the people I rescued on the road, and the plague broke out. β
Lin Lei felt that something was wrong: "What plague?"
"Valrhona's potion is the plague. β
Brooke's words disrupted a new day in Sky City.
An emergency meeting of the High Council was called, and Andun rushed to the council hall with a gloomy face.
"High King, who gave you the power to let those refugees in!" he asked Lin Lei, who was sitting at the head of the elven table.
"Now is not the time to say that, Anduon. Imuel reminded in a cold voice: "The side effects of Valrhona's potion have been proven, and Sky City must act immediately." β
"High King, how is the situation now?"
Layla asked Lin Lei.
Lin Lei instructed Brooke, who took a few steps forward: "The plague is spreading very fast, except for the kingdom of Orlanka and the kingdom of Axia, there have been massacres in other kingdoms......"
Valrhona's potion had taken effect, and no one could have imagined in advance that the negative effects of this potion would spread so quickly and so viciously.
Just one day after the first incident, the plague had spread to the borders of every kingdom, and the humans who had drunk the potion had gone mad and began to slaughter others as unclean.
"The humans of the Alliance have turned into monsters. β
Brooke clenched his sword, he really didn't expect the Demon King to treat innocent people with such terrible means.
The High Council was enveloped in a quarrel.
None of the parliamentarians wanted to believe Brooke's report, because it was so incredible that countries could become bloody hell in a single day?
"Quiet!"
Andun stepped up to the chair and struck the hammer vigorously.
When the parliamentarians stopped arguing, the old priest looked at Brooke with a solemn face: "What is the reaction of the kings of various countries?"
"Nope. β
Brooke shook his head, he hadn't heard any of the kings come out to stop the slaughter until he arrived.
"Probably, they've turned into monsters. β
Lin Lei said suddenly.
Andun warned him: "High King, don't talk casually!"
"Isn't that something that is bound to happen?"
Lin Lei sneered: "I'm the Demon King, I'm sure I'll infect those kings as soon as possible, how can I let them get in the way!"
"You ......"
An Duon's face turned pale for a while, but he couldn't refute Lin Lei.
Once again, the council hall was bustling with quarrels.
Lin Lei couldn't stand it anymore, he suddenly drew his sword and swung it towards the roof.
"Boom!", a large hole was pierced through the roof.
The parliamentarians were quiet.
"Grind, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, are you still doing the right thing!" Lin Lei walked to the presiding seat and snatched the hammer from Andun's hand: "Let me preside over this meeting, do you have no opinion?"
An Duon frowned slightly, and before he could speak, Lin Lei knocked down with a hammer.
"Okay, he has no opinion, I will temporarily act as the speaker today!"
Without waiting for Anduen to object, Lin Lei knocked down with another hammer.
"First of all, we must immediately strengthen the blockade of Sky City! Those who drink the potion will never be allowed to come out and kill people, raise their hands in agreement!"
With an uproar, most of the members of the parliament raised their hands.
"Okay, pass!" Lin Lei struck the hammer and shouted loudly: "Mages, don't be stunned, execute it immediately!"
A group of mages immediately turned and left the council.
"Next issue, we need to establish some safe zones on the ground, and cooperate with the Hidden Council, the Kingdom of Axia, and the Kingdom of Dwarves to guide refugees from other kingdoms to take refuge. β
Lin Lei took out a plan from his pocket: "Let me tell you the specific plan ...... below."
Andun looked at Lin Lei blankly, how could this guy be so skilled.
On the same day, stimulated by external forces, Sky City began a rapid action.
One by one, figures flew out of Sky City and flew towards all places.
"The kingdom of Axia, the kingdom of the dwarves, the camp of the Hidden Council...... plus the border ...... to the north"
In the afternoon, in the camp of the Hidden Council, Eve drew a small circle on the map, which was the closest place to their forces and suitable for a safe zoneβbut there was still a large blank space in between.
This blank space encompasses most of the territory of southern Victoria and the other four countries, and it is extremely vast, and it is the most prosperous area of the Human Alliance, known to the outside world as the heart of the Human Alliance.
This heartland is now the most dangerous area, and whether to set up a safe zone here has become Eve's primary problem.
"Eve, give up that part, it's too big there. We can't save all human beings, we can save as much as we can. β
A Wang family mage said.
"That's right......"
Eve nodded.
With the outbreak of the plague, the drinkers began to call themselves 'new humans'. The heart of the entire alliance has become a paradise for these 'new humans', and the creation of safe zones in their realm is an unrealistic fantasy that can be established will be quickly defeated.
The most sensible thing to do is to rescue the human refugees from the frontier beyond the heart and abandon the area completely.
Eve is a sane person, and she certainly knows what she should choose.
However, she always felt that it was the wrong thing to do.
"What's going on......"
Eve rubbed her brow, she couldn't find anything wrong with her, but as an astrologist, she couldn't ignore her feelings.
If she was left with a blank and vast area for the Alliance, she felt that something big would happen.
"No, we can't do that. β
Eve frowned and thought, and although she didn't know what it was, she finally trusted her instincts.
She couldn't leave such a large area for the Demon King, and in addition to her instincts, she also knew that the various safe zones that were about to be established might be their only remaining hope for innocent humans.
If there is no hope, those people will drink the medicine in despair β and in fact there are already a lot of people doing it.
In order to escape the slaughter, humanity is receiving Valrhona's potions with extraordinary speed.
The plague that is now breaking out is born out of humanity's desire to become stronger, and those who drink the potion are fanatically convinced that they represent the future of humanity, and that everyone else is traitors, defiling their glorious weakling.
Although their actions seem to outsiders to be utter insane, these people do not feel that way.
"Let's establish a safe zone on the border first, don't worry about manpower, Ms. Bai has already arrived with the army, and Queen Angel seems to be planning to come out for a walk. β
Eve handed down the written directive: "I have given the plan for the south to His Royal Highness, and only he can drive those kingdoms. β
She knew that she had very little say in the Yaxia Kingdom and the Dwarf Kingdom, and she had never been to Sky City once, so naturally it was not as effective as Lin Lei's reputation.
"I've got to get out of the day and go thereβ"
Eve looked at the center of the map, she still felt uneasy, the meaning of the safe zone is not only to rescue, but also to represent the rooting of a force.
They must have the strength to stand in the heart of the Demon King, and as for the reason, as long as she walks over and takes a look, she will probably understand.
However, none of the mages supported her.
"It's too dangerous!"
"Girl, you're not Your Highness, it's too dangerous to go there!"
"That is, except for the monster of His Royal Highness, who can go there to adventure!"
"Your Highness is a monster among monsters!"
"You must have known that I came back and deliberately scolded me!!"
A loud shout suddenly rang out outside the tent, and the mages shrank their heads and turned their heads a little nervously.
Lin Lei walked into the tent with a cold face.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Eve was a little surprised, shouldn't Lin Lei be in Sky City?
It should be very busy right now.
"It's a lunch break, and I've brought you someone. β
Lin Lei stepped aside and let Josie walk in: "I want some paladins, you can find some more mages, form an army and go to the Anse Plains with her, she will help us set up a safe zone before dawn tomorrow." β
"Anser Plains?"
Eve took a breath of cold air, the place where this plain was located was exactly where she cared.
"Your Royal Highness, why did you set up a safe zone there?"
Eve asked.
Lin Lei replied with only two words: "Intuition." β
Eve was stunned: "Your medicine has expired?"
"It doesn't seem to be ...... yet" Lin Lei touched his head: "But I can feel something strange." β
Eve's eyes lit up slightly, and then she glanced at Josie again, "Can she do it?"
"If she can't, then few people can. Lin Lei patted Qiao Qian on the shoulder: "My Excellency General, you should be able to achieve your goal, right?"
Josie slapped his hand away indifferently, this guy really didn't have a good heart, and arranged such a dangerous task for himself in the first place.
But it's okay, it's time to let this guy know what he's really capable of.
"I'll leave you speechless. She looked at Lin Lei: "Don't forget your promise!"
"Of course, after you succeed, I will tell you about my weaknesses. β
Lin Lei nodded with a smile.
Eve stared at the two suspiciously, what was their relationship.
However, she still followed Lin Lei's instructions, and soon organized a force composed of paladins and mages and handed it to Josie, the entire force was only 600 people, most of them were humans, and a few elves.
"I'm going to say a few words to them, you go first. β
Lin Lei drove Josie and Eve away, and it took him more than ten minutes before he called them back.
"General, I entrusted them to you, don't kill them all. β
Lin Lei told Josie, there was no smile in his eyes.
"If you had been on this face, I would have believed you were a true fighter. β
Josie snorted coldly, then walked to the front of the troops.
The number of this force was much smaller than the troops she led in the past, but the quality was only high, perhaps because she knew that her task was difficult, and Eve gave her almost all the strongest, especially those mages.
Josie thought that the strongest human paladins were the weakest in this force.
"That's enoughβ"
Josie looked at the mages who were lifting the boulder with one hand, although she didn't understand why the mages were lifting weights, but at least it proved that the body of these mages was no worse than that of ordinary warriors, and this army of six hundred people might be stronger than the tens of thousands of troops she led before.
"Remember, it's best not to reveal your demigod identity until you have to. β
Lin Lei walked over to remind her.
"I can hide. β
Josie frowned slightly.
"I told them that you are my descendant disciple, and you don't have to worry about their morale. Lin Lei patted Josie on the shoulder again: "They are full of confidence in you!"
Josie could see this, and everyone looked at her with fighting spirit in their eyes, this was an excellent army.
"Then I'll go back to Sky City. β
Lin Lei said goodbye to Josie and shouted to the white dragon, and the white dragon came over in a hurry.
"Come back with me!"
"Yes, man. β
"Wait-" Josie grabbed Lin Lei, "Why did you take my dragon away?"
"Why? You are my subordinate, then your dragon is mine, mine or mine, white dragon, are you right?"
"That's fine!"
"What do you say it's okay?"
Josie's gaze turned to the white dragon, who took a few steps back in fright.
"Hostess, I'd better follow the hostess!"
"You still want to rebel against her?"
Lin Lei looked at Bailong with disdain, and then gave Josie a thumbs up: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"
He turned and walked away, his carefree appearance making Josie feel as if something was wrong.
"General, without further ado, let's leave immediately!" Several fighting mages walked up to Josie: "We can't wait to go to war!"
As a veteran general, Josie could see that the mages were not lying.
She was a little relieved: "Okay, drop your stones, let's go!"
The mages immediately threw the boulder away from their hands, and then resisted the twenty-kilogram broadsword.
Josie was stunned: "What are you carrying a sword for?"
"Cut people!"
The mages said as a matter of course.
"Slash!" Josie's voice jerked up, "Where's your staff?"
"I'm tired of playing with staffs, we want to be swordsmen!"
"Your Highness said that you can fight against ten thousand, General, we all rely on you!"
"That bastard boy!"
Josie trembled with anger.
