People who grew up in times of war and people who grew up in times of peace have different concepts of life and death. For people in peacetime, especially young people, death is a distant thing, and even if you listen to some tragedy from the bards, you don't take it too seriously, they think more about what to eat in the morning, what to eat at noon, and what to eat in the evening.

But for people in times of war, death is a matter of imminence, there are corpses on the side of the street, and the person who accosted you two days ago may not be there today, and after these things have happened too many times, they are even a little numb. Fervent religious believers can also fool themselves by going to heaven after death, but it is a little cruel to atheists, or those who are not very religious.

It's not just the princess who thinks, the average kobold also thinks, they are thoughtful, although they have little culture and can't read, but they will always have some experience after living for a long time. Either keep running away and stealing life, or look down on life and death, and finally come to the conclusion that everyone will die, but no longer fear death.

In any case, this kind of person is worthy of respect, and in troubled times, only those who really disregard their own lives can calm down the troubled times. But this is only a possibility, not a necessity, and it is obviously not enough to not be afraid of death.

The empire directly put pressure on the kobold king, which made it a little difficult for Kevin to prevent, because Kevin could not have eyeliner on the king's side, and neither the crow nor the parrot could fly so far. In Kevin's opinion, it is very unwise for the princess to travel at this time, even if the other party will have a reason to encircle, but this siege will not change because she can't travel, and even when the princess goes out, the defense is weak, but it is easier to be attacked.

The king is seriously ill, so it's a big deal to send someone back to take a look, how can he easily leave the city at such a moment? Don't say anything like father-daughter affection, even if the soldiers on the battlefield hear that their father is dead, if the military order is not allowed to go back, then they can only wait in place, let alone the princess who is the commander?

But to really use this as an argument to educate people is not close to human feelings. There are some words, some truths that everyone understands, but they can't be said on the table. If you say it, you will be deducted, and you will be labeled with "ruthless and unjust", "rebellious" and so on.

Of course, Kevin hadn't met the kobold king, so it was a bit hasty to make such a statement. Maybe there is something hidden in the princess's return, but most of it is not a good thing, and the pressure that the imperial people try to exert cannot be easily relieved.

The key now is, what kind of action should Kevin do? You know, Kevin's original purpose was not to really help the kobold achieve peace, but to use it as an opportunity to accelerate the war, so that both sides can take out high-end weapons and then observe and learn. Although he has actually intervened in the war, at least no one has a definite handle at present.

If he goes to the capital with him, and continues to fight against the Imperials over there, there is no one over there, and there is a huge gap between his own strength and the Empire, and Kevin really has no confidence. The premise of helping others is not to lead trouble to yourself, as a commander, you can't just start working with a hot head, you have to weigh and consider.

"Alright, let's go back first. Kevin couldn't do anything for a while, and he didn't plan to stay longer.

"Do you have any other instructions?" asked the Quilt Brave.

Kevin paused and asked, "You still call me the Sect Master, do you still believe in God's teaching?"

The quilt warrior hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Kevin smiled at him, "Then I'll tell you myself, God is a fake." ”

The quilt brave man was stunned, and with his Lou Paulle Chinese level, he seemed to feel that this sentence had several meanings.

Kevin waved his hand and left, drove back that night, and arrived at the embassy in the early hours of the morning. These actions are basically clear to the people of the empire, and they don't know about such a large vehicle unless they are blind.

Bradley's side also began to analyze Kevin's recent movements, and the three of them were still sitting in Van Meer's room, soundproofed with enchantments.

"The guy who came last time was hiding in the embassy and never left the house," Van Meer reported, "and we have 24-hour surveillance, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"If it's a real Sword Master or a Great Magister-level powerhouse, general surveillance may not be effective. Bradley replied.

"There may also be a secret passage hidden in the embassy, and perhaps the newcomer is no longer in the embassy," replied Robles, a retinue on the side, "but according to the information from Lou Pauler, it seems that there are no masters in their country." ”

"Lou Pauler has an Assassin's Guild, and we can't know all about the secret deployment," Bradley replied, "but according to the temptation of the past two days, the possibility that this newcomer is a master has become smaller and smaller. ”

The three of them looked at each other and agreed. Originally, this so-called competition also had this purpose, and the original plan was that once the people of the empire and Lou Baole met on the field, they would directly play a heavy hand. If the Holy Rank powerhouse is nearby, then it should be too late to save the scene, which is also one of the means to force the strong man of Lou Baole Country to appear. Of course, once you are really injured, it is a big deal to lose some money.

However, I didn't expect Kevin himself to participate, and although others participated, they lost neatly. This made it a bit difficult for the Imperials, but thankfully Bradley managed to get in touch with Sain.

Late that night, Bradley directly kidnapped Sain and forcibly instilled him with a bunch of class struggle theories, if Kevin also has a Saint-level powerhouse on his side, he should make some representations. This is a direct robbery, even if it is too late to snatch it back, at least it is appropriate to explode on the spot to show some deterrence.

Nothing turned out, and Sain looked lost. This is really not like a situation where there is a first-class powerhouse, if you really want to send a master to fight against deterrence, at least you have to show your hands, just hiding in the house can't scare people.

Of course, Kevin understands this, but the other party is not a mentally retarded thief, and it is not something that can be fooled with special effects, and now it seems that Statt's arrival only delayed a little time, if Stadt knows, it is estimated that Kevin must be strangled.

Here Kevin is still thinking about what to do next, but the Empire doesn't let him be idle, Van Mill is idle and bored, and it's better to talk to him about what kind of competition should be held. Kevin had already been sick a few times, and it seemed a little embarrassing not to see him again, and Kevin also tried to see if he could test some information in the conversation.

However, it was completely futile, from morning to noon, Van Memeer never said anything about the kobold, Kevin's repeated guidance was ineffective, all he said was what the playing field was like, and how the game should be in our empire. Kevin realized that this was a waste of time, and immediately slipped away with an excuse: "By the way, I'm going to go to the princess's main city in the afternoon to investigate." ”

"It just so happens that I'm going too, let's go, right?" Van Meer went downhill.

Kevin had no choice but to ask, "Then, what time are you going to go?"

"What time are you going?" Van Mill asked rhetorically.

"I'll see how it goes. Kevin was vague.

"Actually, I also depend on the situation. Van Meer laughed.

The two were vague for a while, and finally the ambassador came over and said directly: "Mr. Van Mill, I don't leave lunch here, and I invite you to take care of yourself." ”

Van Mill laughed dryly at the two of them, then got up to leave. When the crowd saw him leave, they came over and expressed their doubts about Van Mill's behavior all morning.

"It's a waste of my time," Kevin concluded, "it seems that time is really precious to them, and they don't know if they know the princess's whereabouts." ”

The ambassador interjected: "Generally speaking, if the king can convince the princess, or put the princess under house arrest, then there is no need to kill people on the road." Unless the princess meets the king and then escapes on her own, will she be hunted down, right?"

"If everything goes according to procedure, then the problem is much easier," Kevin sighed, "but we all know what kind of person the princess is, and if I am an enemy, I will be the first to get rid of it." ”

"There are no of our men in the capital," the ambassador sighed, "and the empire is almost entirely controlled over there, and the king is really just a name." ”

"Then the princess went back and fell into a trap," Kevin was still dissatisfied, "why should she go back?"

The crowd was silent, and it was useless to talk about it now.

"The current situation is nothing more than two kinds, the first is to treat the princess as if she is dead, and fully support the quilt brave. Second, find a way to save the princess," Kevin said, "To be honest, the princess is first-class in terms of ability and belief, and her strength is also a master among kobolds, and it is not easy to find such a person again." Strength can be cultivated, but faith is difficult, and the quilt brave may be a little worse. ”

"Actually, I have a bold idea," Stat said suddenly, "directly let the Quilt Brave lead the army to counterattack the government army and enter the capital." Get rid of that king, and make the princess king! If the princess is dead, just proclaim yourself king!"

"......" The crowd was silent for a while.

The ambassador has already waved his hand: "Put away your bold ideas." ”
