Chapter 678: The Combination of Chaos and Pain
After the convoy started moving again, Haidai finally finished explaining the reason for the incident.
Just like the rumors, there are indeed nobles and demons colluding in the Zegus Kingdom, and the Zegus Kingdom close to the Mystical Prairie has had a lot of conflicts and wars with the orcs, but after the faith was spread in the Holy Capital, the belief of the Earth God Uznok began to spread to the Zegus Kingdom and the Orc tribe at the same time, and under the mediation of the teachings of the same faith and the Holy Capital, the Zegus Kingdom has concluded a peace treaty with the Orcs to end the long conflict, and recently the two sides have developed to the extent of starting to trade with each other, and everything seems to be developing on the good side。
But after Hai Dai was born, the Zegus Kingdom was located on the border of the secluded grassland, but there were several incidents of orcs and caravans missing, because it was dangerous to travel on the grassland, these things were treated as ordinary murder cases by both the orcs and the Zegus Kingdom, but as Princess Haidai slowly grew up and began to get involved in the political whirlpool under the palace struggle, although the disappearance of the grassland border also happened from time to time, but it did not attract much attention from both sides, until one day after the daughter of an orc clan leader who had a good relationship with Princess Haidai disappeared, so that Princess Haidai discovered the anomaly in the country。
Although Princess Haidai is still young, she has been talented since she was a child, not only loved by her father, but also loved by most of the ministers and the people, and the elder brother born to one of Haidai's side concubines was even revoked of the right to inherit the throne, so that Princess Haidai, who was only fourteen years old at the time, became the prince.
Because of this incident, Princess Haidai, who was involved in political struggles at the age when she should have been carefree, had to mature quickly under pressure, and as the prince, Princess Haidai naturally had to work hard to expand her team, from various nobles at home and diplomatic envoys abroad became the object of friendship that Princess Haidai needed to establish friendship, and in these days, Princess Haidai met the daughter of an orc leader from a border tribe, and as a neighbor to the orcs, the Zegus Kingdom naturally had to have a good relationship with the orcs, so Haidai and this and this are not only the same age as herself。 Even the orc girl, who had the same fate as an heir since childhood, quickly became good friends.
However, on one occasion, after a diplomatic meeting between the two sides, the orc girl returned to the Mysterious Prairie and was told that she was missing.
As a tribal leader's daughter, the sudden disappearance is not a trivial matter, and the other party disappeared after visiting the Zegus Kingdom, both the orc tribe and the Zegus Kingdom sent a large number of people to search, but after more than a month of searching, there was still no information, although the conspiracy theory spread for a period of time and even made the Zeguth Kingdom at that time lose face. However, as a friend of the orc girl, Haidai is not suspicious, on the contrary, most people believe that Princess Haidai is also a victim of the conspiracy.
However, soon after the incident, Princess Haidai received some unexpected information during an interrogation, and the earl, who had been arrested for dereliction of duty, confessed the shocking news that a club had been formed by nobles in the kingdom of Zegus that had sold and played with orc slaves.
Through this clue, Princess Haidai immediately began to arrange for people to track down this matter, originally thought it was just an ordinary aristocratic group crime, but in the process of pursuing, Haidai, who dug deeper, was keenly aware that there was a strong force behind this aristocratic group. Even members of the royal family, starting with his older brother, who had been stripped of his inheritance, and who gathered every once in a while to perform strange rituals, in addition to the orc slave trade.
And under the investigation, Princess Haidai's side was inevitably exposed, causing the other party to avoid the search very keenly, and then there was a long battle.
Princess Haidai, who originally thought that this was just a separate crime, had to change her opinion because of a major event, that is, the western part of the continent was infected by demons, and the demons that originally existed in myths and legends actually appeared in this world.
Did the nobles have an affair with the demons every time they held a ritual, and if they were caught rashly, would they introduce the demons into the entire Zegus Kingdom? After weighing it for a while, Princess Haidai had to start secretly turning to the Holy Capital for help. The temple of the god of the earth in the royal capital also quietly sent personnel to conduct a secret investigation, and finally came to the worst result, that is, these nobles were indeed in collusion with the cultists who worshiped the demons.
In order to avoid the whole thing being exposed to the world and causing damage to the prestige of the royal family, Princess Haidai began to secretly contact the Holy Capital to investigate, and the two sides were ready to end this cultist's den in one fell swoop, considering that the cultists have been sacrificing innocents to demons in the country. Before determining the exact location of the demon altar, Her Royal Highness the princess and the holy capital kept silent in order to avoid startling the snake, and after careful investigation, the two sides finally determined the location of the altar, that is, it was located in their brother's mansion.
And this time, Princess Haidai went to a neighboring country to meet with the holy warriors of the god of fire, in addition to the holy warriors of the god of fire. The Holy Warriors of the Earth God will also be present, and the Holy Capital has sent a Templar Order, a number of high-ranking priests, and Princess Haidai's own manpower to prepare to uproot these cultists and demons in one fell swoop.
"So there is a good chance that your brother planned this attack?" asked Perenlius after listening to the princess's account.
"Yes~ I think my brother went astray because he was deprived of the throne, I'm afraid my brother wants to eradicate me with the help of the demon's hand. ”
Purenlius was silent for a moment: "Is it certain that the demon master is controlling everything on the Holy Capital side?"
Hai Dai recalled for a moment and said: "It is said that they worship the suffering cult and have tortured and tortured innocent people for pleasure. ”
"Pain Dominates Mosta┉┉"
A hint of strange color flashed through Perenlius's eyes, and he pointed to the mask placed in the carriage, and said, "But this time it is the believers of the Lord of Chaos who attacked you. ”
Hai Dai was stunned for a moment, a demon believer had already given herself enough headaches, and now there was a second one. What is the wrong thing that the kingdom of Zegus has committed to make so many demons covet it?
"Could it be that the two demons are united?" asked Elcid, who had been listening for a long time.
"It's possible to join forces, but the Lord of Chaos shouldn't hesitate to expose his altar for the sake of another Demon Master┉┉"
Caludia glanced at Poenlius and asked in a cynical tone, "It always feels like you're familiar with demons, what kind of demon is that Lord of Chaos?"
"┉┉Just like his title 'Chaos', Fernandi, the Lord of Chaos, is a demon who is moody, angry, sad, and emotional, sometimes he gives each other happiness, sometimes he gives each other pain, and some of his followers are evildoers, but some are people who have exercised justice as their duty, but in the end, these people will go to extremes in their feelings and ideas under the manipulation of the Lord of Chaos. Poenlius was silent for a moment, but finally spoke.
"What a strange fellow, won't his followers fight when they meet?" Caludia tilted her head, the believers under this kind of contradictory guy are probably fighting all day long.
For this question, Perenlius did not answer, this attack on Haidai was the believers of the Chaos Lord Fernandi, and it was also an attack at the cost of exposing an altar, each of the Lord's altars is different, compared to the Pain Lord Mosta needs a large number of believers to torture and torture others around the altar to obtain the power of the abyss, the Chaos Lord only needs to let the altar release some of the power of the abyss to create a chaotic space, so that the trapped people's spirits go to the extreme and have harvested this extreme spiritual feeling to obtain the power of the abyss, for this reason, the altar of the Lord of Chaos does not need to have a large number of believers gathered, and after harvesting these feelings, it can also affect the victim's memory, making people mistakenly believe that they are just having a terrible nightmare, and in the absence of mass deaths and disappearances, the altar of chaos is usually difficult to detect.
But this time the chaos lord Fernandi will not hesitate to expose a piece of his own altar in order to attack Haidai, you must know that compared to the previous cases of not killing people, this time Fernandi used the altar to create a dark space is very powerful, from the beginning the purpose is to kill everyone, such a large large convoy is all dead or missing in the middle of the way, especially in the most special time when this kind of demon is raging, whether it is the holy capital or the secular kingdom will definitely conduct a careful search along the road, the altar hidden in the lake will definitely be found。
It is not impossible for the two demon lords to unite, but the price of paying an altar is a bit too high, and whether it is pain or chaos, the two demon masters should understand that now that the kingdom of Zegus has been targeted by the Holy Capital, even if people can pretend to be Princess Haidai to support it for a period of time, sooner or later it will still be purged by the Holy Capital, and it is a little intriguing that Fernandi, the Lord of Chaos, is willing to expose an altar, you must know that the loss of an altar will make the Pain Lord pay a considerable price, so just to erase Haidai has made his believers support him for a little more time, this exchange is completely worth the loss。
Perenlius has been thinking about all kinds of possibilities, although the Lord of Pain Mosta is a crazy, irritable, and irritable demon, he is not stupid enough not to know the form, and the Lord of Chaos, although his personality is changeable, will not casually sacrifice an altar just to kidnap the princess of a country.
Why exactly?
For a while, Perenlius couldn't sort out the reason, but one thing is certain, Haidai's plan to return to China may change greatly. (To be continued.) )
