Chapter 62: On the eve of the decisive battle
Akred took a half-step back in surprise, "What did you say? Night Witch...... Benalis?"
Louis's light purple pupils also shook slightly: "The witch in black...... Is it Benalis?"
"We don't want to go into the details anymore. "The princess let go of Auroran and originally planned to beat him up, but for some reason she couldn't bear to do it, "Please leave the Knights of Light, from now on, you will no longer be welcome."www.biquge.info β
With Louis's temper, of course, she would immediately clench her fists and shout, "Then our contract is invalid, you can't be too willful", but today she heard the explosive news about Benalis, and she didn't even have the mood to refute it.
Instead, Auloran said, "I will pay you back what I owe you." Even if it is impossible to become the emperor of Jin Xi again, even if it is with the salary of the prince, even if it is an extra part-time job, I will pay back a little. The life span of the elves is very long, no matter how many hundred years it takes, I will definitely pay off this debt!"
Auroran pushed Akured away vigorously, took the last two letters of the General of the War God from his arms, and stuffed them into the princess's hands.
"This is the last words of the general of the military god, please leave it to your father. β
The war has reached its final stage.
On the side of the Sun Elves, one of the three generals was killed and the other two were also wounded, and all the land within 500 kilometers east of the border was lost, the people were displaced, the army suffered heavy casualties, and the cities in the occupied area no longer existed.
On the Moon Elves' side, the regent's fate is unknown, the casualty rate of the army has reached one-third, and the country is almost on the verge of civil strife. Fortunately, Prince Khail stepped forward in time, on the one hand, using the public opinion offensive to reawaken people's senses, and on the other hand, secretly instructing the assassins to carry out the assassination purge against the young Zhuang officers who were extremely loyal to Benalis, and finally took the remaining army and state power into his own hands again, and turned into another powerful force against the darkness.
Benalis, on the other hand, led the remnants of the army, and although she breached the castle, she knew that her remaining strength alone was no longer enough to continue to advance, so she chose to use teleportation magic to escape. The Apostles of the Seven Original Sins, among which arrogance, laziness, gluttony, jealousy, and lust have all been destroyed, the Abyss Workshop has been destroyed, and the war demon soldiers have basically been wiped out, leaving only some of the Moon Elves who still decide to follow to the end, and these Moon Elves, who are bent on leaving the motherland, have since called themselves "Dark Elves".
The Night Witch, who was once able to bewitch the country and disturb the world with the power of one person, has finally come to the end of her rope.
Benaliss escapes back into a secret cave that only she knows about, where she once created the first creatures of darkness.
"To this point...... I'm afraid I have to change the original plan. Prince Kayl will no longer fight the Sun Elves, and if the war ceases, there will be no more weeping, no more sorrow, no more rage, no more bloodlust for killing and no more lust for plundering, and the dark power I have lost will never be replenished. β
Benalisa bit her lip hard, and her sharp jet-black nails dug deep into her palm: "It's time...... Sow a little more disaster. Although he is very unwilling, I am afraid that the power of Lord Knox, the god of darkness, has to be handed over to that guy. β
Benaryse had been waiting for her companion to talk to her, but today no one asked "Who is that guy?" and she couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable, and subconsciously asked, "Luni?"
Then it dawned on her that it was impossible for Luni to come back. She used her camouflage and manipulating hearts and minds to stir up the hearts of her enemies and create the only chance for Benaliss to break through, never to return.
The cold wind rose from the ground, and the dry moss echoed in the mines, and there was no difference between the low turn of the wailing and the wailing of the wind in the distance of the bridge of wind weeping.
Benaliss picked up the pure black diamond hanging from her neck, and finally gritted her teeth and forcibly tore off the white gold chain.
"The Lord of the Void has no choice but to hand over Lord Knox's most precious fragment of power to you, so please don't hesitate to pour the endless calamities from the cold deep space onto this land!"
As for the Knights of the Holy Light, Akured and Louis read the tomes over and over again, and although they felt that Aurora's words were too bizarre, when they looked at the Ichinoki that represented the Night Witch, they still realized that the descriptions of the Black Witch and Benaliss were more and more similar.
The two witches are Knox's agents in the continent of Khadria, they represent the original sin that is more distant than the original sin, called "desire" and "despair" respectively, and their mission is to lure people into committing different crimes through these two original sins that have existed since the beginning of the world, and finally sign the pact of the night to become Knox's servants at the cost of losing their souls.
The Seven Original Sins came to the world, and if it was Benalis's handwriting, this explanation would be the most plausible.
"Hurry up and report to the Divine Knight. Louis frowned, "Since our opponent is a big man of this level, the rules that ordinary demon slaying wars follow no longer apply. β
Akured also looked resolute: "You don't have to ...... No matter how much you follow the principle of neutrality and non-interference, you don't have to negotiate any conditions with the elves. Next, we should purely fulfill the obligation of the Knights of Light to destroy the darkness, and we must annihilate Benalis, regardless of whether the terms negotiated by the elves are nullified or not. β
However, when they approached the Divine Knight, they received a reply, "I will report it to the Grand Knight Chief and the Holy Priest, and ask them to decide together."
In the temporary prayer hall of the barracks, Louis looked at the majestic back of the Divine Knight, who was wearing golden armor and bathed in the brilliant light of the multicolored glass, and couldn't help but say anxiously and suspiciously: "Lord Divine Knight, if there is a dark creature with a threat level of A+ or above on the continent, the Knights should invoke the regulations of 'Obligation to Annihilate', and they can attack directly without consulting anyone. Now, if you report the two adults, I'm afraid you will miss Benalis's weakest and rare fighter. β
"I didn't say I didn't want to annihilate Benalis. The Divine Knight turned around disdainfully, but held out three fingers and said, "However, we should also think more or less about it. First, the elves may not be grateful for our righteous deeds, second, we came to the Golden Dawn Forest to preach, and the war was only unexpected, and third, we cannot be sure that our enemy is Benalis. β
"But in every way, I think the black witch is the Night Witch. β
The Divine Knight said coldly: "That is to say, you have to admit without hesitation that three thousand years ago, no matter what the reason for the Light Alliance, it was true that such a powerful demon was left in this land, and it never told the person concerned?"
Louis felt a pang in his heart, and indeed this was about the statement and majesty of the Order.
At such a time, such considerations have to be made, and politics ...... It's so damn good.
The Divine Knight uses the Communication Crystal to send the report of the battle from the front back to the Order's headquarters in the human capital of Alborn.
The Great Chapel of the First Light.
"The Sun Elves said that the Light Alliance sealed Benarys in the Elven Realm three thousand years ago? The treasurer spoke out loud.
Feynman is the curator of the Great Sanctuary Historical Books, and a beautiful man with long dark blue curly hair. He nudged his glasses, his face turned pale, and he didn't answer.
It seems like this is the default attitude.
"If we activate the Duty Annihilation Ordinance, won't it be tantamount to admitting such a thing?" said the treasurer shrewdly with his hands outstretched, "and it will lead to great damage to our reputation, which is a loss-making business." β
The head of the medical section of the Priest's Office, a tall beauty with her long hair neatly tucked back her head, replied, "The Ordinance of Compulsory Annihilation is not designed to be against Benalis, as long as the dark forces are strong enough. Regardless of whether it is Benalis, who is the one who provokes the war in the Elven Country, it is an indisputable fact that she is powerful, and we do not need to show the world that she is Benaryse when we fight her. β
"But can the elves give up?" the chief of the army asked.
The head of the medical department replied, "Whether you want to forgive us or not, it's a matter for the elves. But it has nothing to do with whether or not we want to save the world in the name of the Light. β
It can be seen that the Divine Light Order is not sincerely united, and the radical faction, mainly the Knights, advocates standing still, believing that it is simply irrational to say anything pedantic to uphold justice in such a sensitive period. The moderates, mainly the priests, wanted to immediately and unconditionally come to the aid of the elves.
The supreme leader of the Knights, the Grand Knight, slapped the deputy in the wheelchair vigorously, and his face with brown spots peculiar to the elderly was full of anger: "It would be too much to help them without saying a word! Don't forget those guys of the elven race, who refuse to even open up their missionary rights, and are a bad people who are arrogant and arrogant with their nostrils facing the sky. Unless they are willing to accept the faith of light, then this matter can be discussed!"
"But this matter is our fault in the first place......"
"So you priests are full of naΓ―ve thoughts!" the Grand Knight's eyes stared at everyone like eagles, "Everyone is quite accomplished, don't talk about right and wrong children!"
The pros and cons of gains and losses are the most important, while the rights and wrongs can be ignored...... Is that right?
The Grand Knight Chief said rudely, "Yes, either they promise to accept the Light Doctrine completely, or they will deal with Benalis, that's my advice." β
