Chapter 59: The Invaders
"Do you know any other way?" asked Helen anxiously, as she needed to get the Vengeful Blade back to Karsecot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Of course there is, otherwise the adventurers would have come down, but as far as I know, the nearest exit is very far from here. ”
"How far?"
"It's about ten days to walk, but unfortunately I'm a soul body now, and I can't fly, otherwise I'll be able to take you there, and I'll be there soon. ”
Sean and Helen were relieved that ten days was still acceptable, and it didn't matter if they walked, so they simply packed up and hit the road again under Agrian's guidance.
Along the way, Helen and Agrian talked a lot about him and Yolanda, and the two learned that real devils can basically turn into human form, but the stronger the devil, the more perfect they can use their abundant and powerful magic to shape their human form more perfectly. At the level of the Seven Demon Lords, their human form is impeccable in both appearance and stature, so in the twenty-year Ash War, whether it is a hostile camp or a surrendered servant army, there are people of the opposite sex who will have feelings for these Demon Lords.
Yolanda is like that.
She was unfortunately captured in a battle, and thought that she would be cruelly abused by the devil, but luckily she met Agrian, who did not like to kill and was very gentlemanly, and the two fell in love at first sight.
But not long after, when the demon army was besieging the spring capital of the Elven Immortal Empire and their base camp An-Serra, they were strongly resisted by the combined forces of the Elven Empire and the Dwarven Kingdom, and they could not be attacked for a long time and suffered heavy casualties, so the five thousand guards led by Agrian were sent to the front line as the most effective force among the 100,000 demon army.
With his understanding of the strength of the Demon God, there was no safer place on the vast battlefield of the entire Ash War than by the Demon God's side, and then he led his army to the front line with confidence.
But Agrian never imagined that the father of all gods, who had always been worshipped by humans as a religious symbol, was actually a person, and he also led his divine envoys to raid the demon base camp and kill the demon god.
Agri, who got the news, was so anxious that he hurriedly handed over the command of the troops to his deputy, and rushed back along the passage of the underground world with only a few guards, wanting to rescue Yolanda, but the devil's wish was not fulfilled, and he was ambushed halfway, and was bombarded by several human great magicians until there were no bones, and even the soul was intercepted when he wanted to escape.
The battlefield was almost a mess, and the archmages used spells to seal his soul under the dagger and rushed to kill the others, never to return.
"I guess they also died in battle. Agrian sighed, "Then I was forgotten by the whole world, for a thousand years, and if I hadn't met you, maybe I would have been forgotten." ”
"Where did you come from, why did you fight this battle, did you fight it to conquer?" Sean was curious about this.
"I don't know where we came from. ”
"How so?"
"All demons were created by the demon gods, just as the father of all gods created you. As for where the Demon God came from, and why he wants us to fight this battle for him, I don't know, and he never told us this. ”
"You're the most powerful besides the Demon God, so you're probably the first one he created. ”
"Possibly, I don't know. ”
"How could you not be clear?"
"Do you remember when you were three months old?"
"Well, that's right. ”
Helen suddenly interjected: "But you were created, and you were not born, don't you have a memory?"
"When I was 'created', I was probably a baby, because my first memories were from my childhood. ”
"Childhood?"
"Yes, at that time, the Demon God disguised himself as a single elf nobleman to live in the Immortal Empire, and the later Seven Demon Lords of Chaos were all orphans adopted by him in the eyes of other elves at that time, and our seven children lived together like brothers and sisters under the nurturing of the Demon God since childhood, until one day the Demon God activated our body and told us that we are actually devils, and we want to lead the 100,000 demon army he created to fight, that's it. ”
"It's cruel. Helen shook her head.
"Cruel? I don't think so. Lord Demon God has given us a wonderful enough life, we have both brothers and sisters, and loyal subordinates, we have loved, hated, indulged, and also fought, struggled, and happy, although in the end it fell short, we do not regret being created by him, because whether it is a human or a demon, we have spent this life vigorously, even if we die and only have our souls left, we have rich experiences to recall, instead of being born in a mess and dying in vain. ”
"It's a high-sounding statement. Helen was very dissatisfied, and retorted with a snort: "Your life is wonderful, but you have swept the entire continent indiscriminately, plunged all living beings into inexplicable wars, how many people have been separated by your family, how many unarmed civilians have been slaughtered by you, your indulgence, your squandering, and your happiness are all based on the pain and bones of others, obviously your hands are covered with blood, but you are embarrassed to say that your life is vigorous?"
"It's not unfounded for the elves, but you're a human, little girl. Do you know what the status of human beings in the Elven Immortal Empire was before we appeared?"
"It's a slave. Facts are facts, and Helen never messed around, but she added, "But there are still a lot of human beings who have died at the hands of the devil." ”
"The elves kill more than we do. How many human slaves die of starvation every year because of the expropriation and extortion of the elven nobles?
"In order to control the population of your human race, the elves deliberately provoked a war between several major human tribes, and how many humans died in the civil war?
"In order to invade the Centaur Kingdom, the elves drove a large number of human slaves to carry supplies over the Sunset Mountains, and they were defeated and left, and how many human slaves died in the Sunset Mountains due to the loss of supplies and backups?
Agrian's barrage of questions sent Helen into deep thought.
"But after all, you are also aggressors. Sean said unconvinced.
"We are both aggressors and liberators. Agrian sighed softly and stopped talking.
