Jacksa's Demon II
Sarah took Kaye's hand and walked briskly forward, a slight smile on her lips if you looked closely. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe reason why he invaded Alcreu eleven years ago was also because he wanted to change the plight of the people's life, and the clansmen who did not like war and invasion were just because they were the patriarchs, and they followed the order to invade Alcreu.
In the war of aggression eleven years ago, in the offensive and defensive battles of Alcxiu's royal capital, none of the nobles of the royal capital dared to choose to fight alone with themselves, and the guards guarding the royal capital and the soldiers who rescued the royal capital were constantly falling. It was impossible for Alccius's soldiers to hold the royal capital, and as long as the war continued, his own people would sooner or later capture the royal capital. But the elven boy who had nothing to do with Alcreeu, Kaye, who was still a mercenary at the time, bravely chose to challenge himself, because Kaye's strength and bravery allowed him to talk to him. Even if he lost to the powerful Kaye, the demon clan still held the absolute advantage at that time, which is a fact that cannot be ignored.
At that time, Kaye told the demon clan that even if they occupied the royal capital, it would only make the nobles of the Alcksius clan madly retaliate, and as for occupying the entire territory of Alkexiu, it would only make the demon clansmen pay more sacrifices. The facts that Kaye stated at that time were also scruples in Sarah's heart, who had an absolute advantage. I want to change the plight of the clansmen, but I don't want the clansmen to suffer senseless sacrifices because of the crazy revenge of the army led by the lords of the various lords of Alcreeu.
Kaye suggested that he, who was still a mercenary at the time, negotiate with the king of Alcreeu. Because of Kaye's active efforts at that time, Sarah and her people retreated, and because of Kaye's efforts, Jacksa and Alcxiu formed a mutually beneficial covenant. Alcreeu and Jacksa's alliance is not without payment, Alcreeu will provide food and gold coins to Jacksa every year, both food and gold coins are needed by the demon clan. The food in the human kingdom is much better than that of the demons, and the gold coins can be traded with the mercenaries who occasionally come to Jacksa, or they can be taken to the human kingdom to buy the items they need.
You don't have to start a war, you don't have to sacrifice your people to get funding, which is a good deal for Jacksa. Of course, there is a price, and if there is a war with the ally Alcreeu, then Jacksa must provide support. Although it is more cost-effective to occupy Alcrete, the human kingdom is not necessarily suitable for their own people, because they are born in the large forest of Jacksa, and Sarah's main purpose is only Alcrete's resources.
Eleven years have passed, but the words Kaye said eleven years ago are still alive and well. "War is the source of suffering, whether it is a demon or a human, everyone has their own home, their own family, and dying on the battlefield will only make more people and more demons hateful. These were the words Kaye had said at the time, and Sarah's heart throbbed every time he said this. At that time, Kaye's expression was unusually serious, and at the same time very sad, it was sad for the demons and human soldiers who had died in battle.
Eleven years ago, on the plains outside the city of Dufermilan, the king of Alctius, the broken swords, the broken arrows, the human soldiers who fell to the ground and could not stand up again, and the demon clansmen who were the invading party. The flames of war were burning, and the faces of the human soldiers and knights were fearful but determined to defend the kingdom, and the nobles were clenched to their magic staffs.
The black flame banner of Jacksa, the red horse banner of Alcxiu, fluttered in the wind. When the demon clan retreated, the excited expressions of the human soldiers defending the royal capital, and their loud cheers resounded throughout the battlefield.
The silver-haired beautiful girl Demon Patriarch came back to her senses from her memories, and eleven years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the eleven years of the long-lived Demon Clan seemed like yesterday. This is an illusion, because too much longevity can produce the illusion.
Sarah looked at Kaye who was looking ahead, the blonde boy who had gradually become a friend after gaining his respect for defeating him eleven years ago, and a noble "hero" of the human kingdom. Every time Kaye came to Jacksa, he left in a hurry, and he was like the wind of freedom, unable to keep him. Sarah wants Kaye to stay in Jacksa for a while, as Kaye is her first friend and a special being.
The thought in her heart was very strong, but Sarah knew that she couldn't ask Kaye willfully, and if she forced Kaye, it would only cause Kaye unnecessary trouble.
The man-eating flower at its feet opened its mouth, trying to bite Kaye with its sharp teeth, but Sarah waved her hand and it closed in fear. Kaye has always had the idea of raising some cannibal flowers in the backyard of his grocery store, but because piranhas are only suitable for survival in the harsh environment of Jacksa, Kaye can only dismiss the idea every time he wants to raise them. Sarah, who was walking, suddenly stopped, stretched out her small white hand, and sent several wind blades at a large tree on her right. The trunk of the tree was cut off by the wind blade and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Kaye asked curiously, and Sarah shook her head to indicate that it was okay. The big tree is still the same big tree, except for the loss of the trunk that was cut off by the wind blade.
A beautiful figure appeared in the sky, staring at the dense forest, and said with a chuckle, "What a keen Demon Lady." The beautiful blonde girl with a parasol looked up at the sun in the sky and frowned.
"It's been months since the sun hasn't stopped, it's really annoying. ā
The grumbling blonde girl flew into the distance.
The night of the demon clan is different from that of humans, but it is very special, and at night, the demons who live in the forest are divided into many groups, and dozens of clansmen in each group sit together, singing the song of the demon clan around the burning firewood. The song is sung in the language of the demon clan, because it is not the "lingua franca of the continent", Kaye can't understand it. The demons are not only singing, but also dancing and reveling, cheering and singing to express their joy for the night.
Kaye couldn't understand the language of the demons, but that didn't stop him from being infected by the demons' enthusiasm.
"It's good to have peace!"
Sitting on the ground, Kaye sighed in his heart that peace is beautiful and happy, but even the great "age of the gods" ruled by God the Father has no real peace.
God the Father wants all nations to live together peacefully, and the most faithful servants of the Father, the clergy of the Church, have never forgotten to proclaim that God desires peace. But just as God the Father created the sun and the moon, where there is light there will be darkness. As long as all ethnic groups have desires and desires, there will be contradictions. Quarrels between commoners and commoners may develop into battles, and quarrels between knights and knights may develop into duels, but wars between nations may be inevitable.
As the superiors, they enjoy the fruits of victory, and of course they may suffer the blows of defeat, but the people have to bear the pain of war.
Kaye took a large piece of roasted meat from a tall demon who was smiling at him, the meat was roasted and smelled of meat. The thick aroma of meat stimulates Kaye's appetite, and Kaye takes a bite, and it tastes good. Sarah, who was sitting on the side, held a smaller piece of meat and ate it in small bites, and her elegant eating appearance was not inferior to the eating appearance of human aristocratic women who had received etiquette education since childhood. If you don't look at Sarah's slightly pointed ears just by looking at her appearance, you will almost have the illusion that she is the daughter of that aristocratic family.
The meat was delicious, but it was a shame that there was no alcohol. The demons are not humans, they don't have the skills to make wine, and they don't trade with the mercenaries who come to Jacksa to buy wine, or go to human countries to buy wine, because the demons don't need alcohol, they like to eat meat.
Sarah took out a white silk handkerchief and wiped the oil off Kaye's mouth, and the cold expression on her beautiful face softened for a moment.
"Sarah, you are so gentle, if you laugh, the moon will be eclipsed. ā
Kaye complimented his friend, a genuine compliment. The silver-haired beautiful demon patriarch had a charming flush on his beautiful face, and that slightly shy look made Kaye lose his mind for a moment.
"Am I too tired?"
Even if it's a friend, it's a woman, and I'm a man, so it's quite rude to look at a woman and lose her mind. Beautiful women have seen too much in their mercenary careers, and they will lose their minds because of their unstable relationships. Looking at the firewood that was burning more and more, Kaye reflected in his heart.
Sarah approached Kaye, and could even smell the faint scent of the girl's body because of the proximity. Kaye wanted to lean too close for a moment, which was not the way a lady should behave, but looked at the silver-haired girl with a blush on her face, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth. Sarah's people are all partying, they are all so happy, so they shouldn't be too rigid.
Singing, dancing, and revelry, the demons' ugly faces were filled with the most sincere smiles compared to the aesthetics of humans and elves.
On a large tree far from the demons, the vampire Marquis Gillian breaks off a branch.
"It's boring enough, a savage primitive race. ā
Criticizing the boredom of the demons, he kept breaking the branches. Suddenly, Gillian stopped what she was doing, looked in a certain direction in the distance, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Guy hiding in the dark. ā
Leaning against the trunk of the tree, he thought that if it was a threat, then he would help Kaye solve it, but it didn't seem to be a threat.
"Find a place to sleep tonight, the demon clan is really boring. ā
The beautiful blonde girl turned into a swarm of bats and flew into the night sky.
The demons finished their revelry late, and when it was over, they went back to their stone houses to rest. After Kaye accompanied Sarah back to her stone house, he refused Sarah's offer of resting and jumped up under a large tree, leaning against its trunk.
"I'm going to leave after dawn. ā
In the quiet of the night, the blonde boy muttered to himself. The purpose of coming to Jacksa has been accomplished, and the next destination to go is far away from Jacksa, and although there is some reluctance, I must leave. If her friend Sarah wants to meet her, there will be a chance in the future.
Parting is always reluctant, but parting also means goodbye next time.
On the outskirts of Jacksa, the beautiful silver-haired girl Demon Patriarch took his friend Kaye's hand, his eyes revealing reluctance, and said, "Kaye, I will miss you." ā
Kaye touched her friend's silver-haired girl's long silky hair and said, "We'll meet again later." ā
The blonde boy who turned around and walked forward didn't see the nostalgia and reluctance in the silver-haired girl's eyes.
