Chapter Twenty-Eight: Heart of Darkness The Approaching War
After leaving the center of the lake, Fei Yue, Earl and Hotaru have been following behind Celia and his party, although at the request of Fei Yue, the dense forest will definitely not be unfavorable to Celia and his party, but this does not mean that the mercenaries will not, after all, although Hotaru has cleaned up a wave, but as far as Fei Yue and the rumored whereabouts of the dark elf treasure, I am afraid that the mercenaries will only follow one after another.

Especially after Feiyue destroyed Shaqi's city, Celia and her party had to walk a farther way to reach a relatively safe area, and even if it was that kind of relatively safe area, huge wealth could still make people take risks, these were all things Feiyue could think of, since they thought of it, Feiyue naturally wouldn't let people hurt them easily.
"Mother, aren't humans more uncivilized now than they used to be?I smell the strong smell of blood in the dense forest, are they more bloodthirsty than they used to be?" said to Fei Yue as he walked with Fei Yue, following Celia and the others under the cover of the dense forest, carefully observing the situation around them.
"Before we found you, the human race coveted the beauty of His Majesty Feiyue and the treasure of the dark elves, and kept tracking the group of mercenaries just now, and I cleaned it up once, which left such a strong smell of blood. Hotaru stepped out of the shadow of Feiyue and startled Earl, who was paying close attention to the situation around him, "But I also think that humans are unreliable, I was also a human in the past, and I also witnessed a rebellion, it was His Majesty Feiyue who saved me and gave me a new body, since then, I don't trust humans anymore!"
"You're right, humans have betrayed the Mother Goddess, betrayed Enlil, betrayed Goddess Élish, betrayed my mother, betrayed my father, and not only humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and other species are not trustworthy, but also some of their companions as gods are not trustworthy!" When it comes to distrust of humans, Earl can't control his mouth, as if he wants to spit out all the resentments of the past, and he talks endlessly along the way, starting from the time his mother was deceived by humans after he was born and had to fall into a deep sleep, until Eilish fell into a deep sleep for some reason, of course, the reason why Alysh fell into a deep sleep Earl didn't know, and out of distrust, Earl naturally blamed the reason on humans.
In this way, the group wandered around the dense forest for about a week before getting out of the dense forest, without the help of Fei Yue, they could not accurately identify the direction, and the dense forest did not give the group as convenient as before, so that they could not move at night, and they could not walk much during the day, and at the same time they had to guard against poisonous insects, as well as possible traps, and as they got closer and closer to the exit, mercenaries gradually began to appear, some of them were good, and they would give the group some help, but more of them just wanted to get something on the group, such as the ring that Fei Yue gave to Celia。
After walking out of the dense forest, Fei Yue saw that there were many human soldiers stationed in the location where Hel was before, and all mercenaries who entered the dense forest from here must be subject to a series of verifications, which naturally made it difficult for Fei Yue and his party, but Celia and his party were slightly obstructed here, but Millie's brother Mia seemed to know that the group would pass by here, so he was already waiting here for Celia and his party to return, and after showing a certain token, the soldiers let Celia, Millie, and Khaki leave.
"Is it because of the previous massacre?" asked Fei Yue after Hotaru went out to inquire about the situation.
"Yes, and it is said that an entire legion was destroyed by necromancers, and no one mentioned why the city disappeared—" Hotaru said from her position beside Fei Yue.
"I'm afraid it's because they can't figure out why the city disappeared out of thin air, right?" Fei Yue shrugged, "There are either demons or humans enslaved by demons in that city, and even if they stay, it will only make more people suffer!" Fei Yue stood up and gently brushed the dust off her body, "Let's go, go get the Dark Heart first, and then go and meet the so-called god of your family!"
"Yes!" With that, Hotaru rejoined into the shadow of Feiyue, who nodded to Earl, who was sitting in the other place, and the group set off again.
The next road is a little boring, even the scenery is very monotonous, or there is no very prominent scenery, that is, some flowers and trees, because most of them are hills, so it gives people the feeling of going over the mountains, but the mountains are not so steep.
At the same time, along the way, Fei Yue saw more troops, if Fei Yue's memory is not a problem, they came from the capital of Africa and Europe, and the direction of their way seems to be the border of Fei'er, and now that the undead have all withdrawn to the underworld to deal with the security problems caused by the expansion of the population of their own land, the border will naturally be much weaker.
"Mother, do you want me to destroy one or two legions, it's been so long, I've almost forgotten the taste of humanity!" Earl showed an excited expression after knowing Feiyue's distress, although this guy is very respectful to Feiyue, but his attitude towards other races is really not very friendly, or in its eyes, other races are completely in the service of the gods, and the gods should accept it if they give it, and if they rebel, they will die innocently.
Fei Yue glanced at Earl, who was about to drool on the side, "Okay, but you can only eat their vanguard squad, and you must leave at least one alive, preferably a captain-level character, so that you will know more information!"
"Okay—" Earl saluted the moon and disappeared into the night.
"Is that good?" Hotaru walked out of the shadows of the Moon, and in the night, Hotaru's body exuded a silvery-white glow, which should be some state brought about by the baptism of the Dark Elf Queen, "Although they are enemies, they are just following orders!"
"Well, I have a hunch that the battle between Heaven and Hell will end soon, and after it eases down, Hell will soon point the finger at us!" Fei Yue said to Hotaru, the light of her eyes flickering on and off, "Although this may make the situation in the underworld more troublesome, it is the most direct way to strengthen us, and it can be regarded as a last resort! Not to mention that our enemy is more than Hell!"
"But you don't want to do that!" Hotaru hit Fei Yue's heart, "Ever since I knew you, you have never harmed any innocent person, whether he is your one or not!"
"But this is war, Hotaru, there is no good or evil in war, there is no good or evil, if I don't weaken them here, once Fei'er's army can't resist their attack, only our people will suffer, those civilians have no weapons in their hands, they will definitely not be able to resist the invading army!" Fei Yue grabbed Hotaru's shoulders and looked directly into Hotaru's eyes, "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, even if I am unwilling, what can I do?
As she spoke, Fei Yue's tears began to fall, and in the face of such a Fei Yue, Hotaru also fell silent, Hotaru always felt that she knew Fei Yue, so she could help Fei Yue in some situations, and right now, when Fei Yue lay on her shoulder and cried bitterly, Hotaru found that she couldn't do anything, in fact, no matter who it was, even if it was Phimi, she could only gently stroke Fei Yue's hair at the moment.
"Whether you are spurned by the world or loved by the world, I am your sharp blade, your sharpest dagger, wherever you point your sharp blade, there will be rivers of blood, and wherever you pierce the dagger, there will be a shadow of death!" Hotaru said softly in Fei Yue's ear.
"Well said, hahahaha-" At that moment, a human soldier was thrown to the ground, and then Earl's laughter was heard, "Since you are a blade, then I am a claw, you are a dagger, I am a sword, where the blade cuts, there is a river of blood, where the claw passes, where the dagger pierces is shrouded in death, where the sword is pointed, how about life?"
The relieved Feiyue also has nothing to say to Earl, and Hotaru returns to the shadow of Feiyue more directly, as for Feiyue, after not having too many scruples, the means are also diverse, but Feiyue's current behavior also tends to be direct, that is, to extract information from a soul that will never lie.
In Earl's complaint, Fei Yue killed the soldier, and then swallowed the soldier's soul, this scene Earl was monitored throughout the whole process, and when he saw Fei Yue swallowing the soldier's soul, he was unnaturally shuddering, and even Fei Yue felt that he had done a little too much, after all, he could have done it more elegantly.
"Alright!" After about ten minutes, Fei Yue smiled awkwardly at Earle, who still had round eyes, "We didn't guess wrong, they were preparing to attack Fili in the name of crusading against the necromancer, and I really gave them a good reason this time!"
"Then let me eat them all, I'm hungry anyway, and humans are alive, and the meat is tastier than other animals, and dwarves are much better than elves, and elves smell of wood, and dwarves smell more disgusting, and smell of earth—" As he spoke, Earl almost vomited as if he remembered something that made him sick to his stomach.
"Forget it, we still have to hurry, wait for next time!" Fei Yue exhaled deeply, "Why don't I wait until I go back, I'll let you go and help garrison the border, the battle should have just started at that time, and you will have something to eat!"
"Okay, we've decided, you're a mother, you can't go back!" After getting Fei Yue's permission, Earl didn't ink, and immediately followed Fei Yue to the next destination, as for what he thought in his heart, no one knows.
As for Earl, Fei Yue also felt a little strange, or did this guy's brain have a problem after being locked up for so many years? It seems that he has more respect for all the gods, and it doesn't matter whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, but this kind of thing is related to Earl's private affairs, so Fei Yue can't ask directly, so he can only wait for the opportunity to make a decision.
