The mén of Kalia was finally opened, and even in the face of the terrible army of the Knights of Death, the soldiers of Galik defended their honor with their lives, defending the honor of being classified. [Full text reading]**

However, the price to be paid was enormous, and in order to show the world the significance of having the nobles lead the campaign, Scott paid a heavy price.

The Death Knight, who was only about 2,000 inches, could still do one for two in the face of about four times the number of Garic soldiers, which made Scott devastated.

In this battle, while successfully capturing Kalia, Scott lost more than 3,000 brave soldiers, which is enough to prove the terrifying and powerful army of the Death Knights.

However, in the face of such a tragic loss, none of the Garrick soldiers on the battlefield were afraid to flee, and they deserved to be among the top three troops in the empire in terms of individual ability and famous for the quality of their soldiers.

"That's it......" After the last Death Knight was killed by the Gary soldiers who were filled with grief and hatred, the Demon God and Archer Lelagin stopped plundering the lives of the Galik soldiers, and the demon god, who had filled the countless Galik soldiers present, finally put down the giant bow in his hand and gave a relieved expression.

"You're the only one left!" a Garic soldier surrounded his companion with a spear in his hand, but looking at his expression, it could be seen that he was very nervous, after all, the opponent was the legendary demon god, and the demon who had killed countless of his companions, even this demon god was now scarred.

Yes, even if it is a demon god, they will be injured, after all, they are just a kind of existence similar to a heroic spirit, not an invincible god, but when it comes to hurting Lelagin, I'm afraid that in the entire battlefield, only Scott has done it. - If Scott hadn't done his best to restrain this killing machine, I'm afraid Garrick's casualties would have been much higher.

But even so, Scott has almost reached his limit, after all, his strength is only close to that of the Great Mage, and he is not yet able to fight for as long as Soth, let alone use a wide range of curse magic while maintaining the realm. - The battle just now had exhausted him.

"I'm the only one...... So what?" Looking at the Garic soldier, Lelagin recounted the fact in a bland voice, even if it was an entry, the power of the demon god was not something that ordinary people could compete.

The bland words of "......" made all the nearby Garik soldiers tense their nerves, staring at the giant bow in Lelagin's hand, after all, it was the seemingly inconspicuous bow and arrow that took countless lives here.

"Stop!" Before the Galik soldiers could attack, Scott stopped them, took a few breaths to calm down his excitement, looked at Lelagin and said in a deep voice, "You, do you want to continue fighting?"

"Huh?" Lelagin was stunned, looked up at the black dust particles left by the death knight nearby, shook his head and said, "That's it......"

"So, do you want to surrender?" the expressionless Scott looked at Lelagin indifferently, and said in a deep voice as if he had made a huge decision, "If you choose to surrender instead of a meaningless resistance, I can let you go!"

Perhaps, the huge casualties of the Garic soldiers in this battle have made Scott feel unacceptable, and in the face of this legendary demon god, he is really not sure that he will kill him without dying, after all, the goal of this battle is the control of Kalia, not Lelagin.

"Oh?" Larkin seemed a little surprised, glancing at Scott and surprised, "I'm your grandfather's murderer, and you say you can spare me?"

Scott was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice, "As far as I am concerned, I would like to kill you to avenge my grandfather, but, unfortunately, I am exhausted of my magic power, and I don't think I have enough strength to kill you, and, as the commander of this army, I can't continue to fight unnecessarily because of Sīin!-The winner of this battle is us, you have no chance of winning, stop it!"

Lelagin shook his head and smiled, looked at Scott deeply for a moment, and suddenly said in an approving voice, "I thought you would come and kill me desperately...... It seems that you are not exactly a creature influenced by emotions, you can control your anger and hatred in your heart, you are very sè, boy!"

"Hmph!—I won't be happy to be complimented like that by you!" Scott said indifferently with a sneer, "Get out, Demon God!"

"......" Looking at the hatred and anger in Scott's eyes, Lelagin was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Why don't you kill me?" I think you should see that I don't have much physical strength anymore, and I can kill me with a hundred, maybe fifty...... There's no need to let me go!"

"That's right, His Royal Highness Duke Xiao!--At this time, you can't let this demon go!--no matter how much you need to sacrifice, you must kill this demon here!" the nearby Garrick soldiers seemed to see that Scott was thinking of letting Larkin go, and they all spoke. ####

Looking at Lelakin's uncertain eyes, Scott sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "You go!--I don't want to sacrifice the lives of Garric's soldiers for an unnecessary battle!--This battle is over!"

"Is that good?" Glancing at Scott with a bit of inexplicability, Lelagin said with a hint of mockery, "Sometimes, you have to be ruthless, even if it is to pay a heavy price, to strangle the enemy who threatens you!

"......" Glancing deeply at Lelagin, Scott snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Clean up the battlefield!" - bring the remains of the warriors who died in battle, we don't have much time!"

"Yes!" the Galik soldiers accepted the order for no apparent reason.

That night, after becoming the owner of Kalia, Lyrela heard that Scott had let Lellakin go, and she was very suspicious and asked about it in surprise.

"Really? Did you really spare Lelagin, the murderer of your grandfather?"

Seeing her mention this, Scott's eyes seemed to show regret, shook his head and said, "Lelagin is not an ordinary guy, his terrifying ability is an existence that makes countless people see nightmares even on the battlefield. - Indeed, it was the best time to kill him, but how many more lives of Garric's soldiers would have to pay? dozens, hundreds, and we have already won the battle, there is no need to fight him again!"

"But he's always been our enemy, isn't he?" said Lyreira, with a faint sigh and a bit of sadness, "if we let him go, he'll return to Argus's man and continue to be our enemy, and when the time comes, won't we still have to face him?"

"You don't have to worry about this," pushing his glasses, Scott shook his head and said, "This contact, I have revealed Lelakin's weakness, although he is a demon god, he is a pure archer, he doesn't know any magic, and he doesn't have too much strength, but his special ability in a hundred hundred is more tricky, but, this time, we just don't have time to wait for the help of the magicians, if it is when Sassen is fighting, under the magic suppression of two thousand black magicians, Lelagin will not be able to do it to the extent like today......"

"Is that really the case?" looked at Scott with suspicion for half a minute, and Lerella suddenly smiled a little, nodded and said, "That's right, there's really no need to continue fighting, our purpose is just Kalia!"

However, what she really wants to say is not this, she knows very well what she is thinking about the male who will be attached to her whole life, nothing more than wanting to use her own strength to defeat this demon god, dignified, and does not rely on other enters, even if it is her own army, but now, her own male entry does not have this power, so ...... Perhaps, this is Ren xìng who belongs to the man, but in terms of the overall situation, it is indeed the most reasonable judgment as a commander, a good commander will never sacrifice soldiers in unnecessary battles.

However, even Lyriella probably didn't understand what Scott was really thinking...... "Sorry?—for you didn't kill me?" When Lyreira went back to her room to rest, only Scott was left in the room, and a low, slightly indifferent voice was heard. ####

"It's you," glancing faintly at the figure with a giant bow on the balcony, Scott poured himself a cup of black tea and sipped the black tea slowly, "What? want to try the trick of the original in Garik?" He was naturally referring to the other party's terrible assassination ability.

"Heh, if I want to do that, I don't need to appear in front of you at all, even if it's thousands of miles away, the arrows I send out can still hit the target!" said that, the black shadow walked into the room, it was the demon god Karls Lelagin, who had fought Scott during the day.

"So, are you here to kill me?" Scott pushed his glasses with his right hand as he held the teacup in his left hand.

"Is it possible?" Lelagin smiled faintly, looked at Scott with a strange look, shook his head and said, "You're my second class that I can't kill!"

"Oh?" Scott asked, curious, "and what about the first one?" As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "Forgive me for asking an unnecessary question!"

"You guessed it?" leaned against the wall, Lelagin crossed his arms and whispered, "the first is Argus, who is even better than you...... Argus is a formidable opponent, boy!"

"......," said Scott, who sat down on the sand, said strangely, "Did you come so late to give me this kind reminder?"

"Oh, it seems that what I said is a bit redundant," Lelagin laughed at himself, then turned his head to look at the moon in the night sky outside the window, and said lightly, "You really want to kill me, don't you?—but you didn't do that during the day, which surprised me!"

"That's because I don't want to sacrifice Garrick's soldiers for useless battles!"

"Is that really the case?" Turning his head and looking at Scott with a chuckle, Lelagin sneered, "I'm afraid you already know something, and you know that we, as demon gods, can't be truly killed!"

Scott's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he pushed his glasses silently, as if acquiescing.

"What a surprise," Lierakin said in a wistful voice, glancing at Scott with a surprised look, "It's been more than three years since I returned to this world, and when I was first unsealed, I remembered my name and a few fragments, but in the time that followed, I remembered some of the past...... The Demon God originated in an era much older than when you appeared, and at that time, there was our kingdom, an ancient country on a par with the ancient mechanical civilization?"

"Secret Civilization?" Lelagin smiled faintly and continued, "What a distant and familiar name, Mekander created a war puppet, and we Savos gave birth to the Demon God, and this power was originally used for war purposes, but it was eventually used to protect this land from darkness, which has to be said to be ironic...... At that time, in order to resist the dark forces, the kingdom chose seventy-two warriors to serve as guardians of the thirty-six regions of the ancient world, and the true souls of these warriors were sealed in the seventy-two totem pillars of the temple, thus gaining the power of immortality......"

"Ancient ruins?" said Scott, stunned.

"Is that what you call it?" said Legakin after a pause, "in the days when you were far from being classified, the forces of darkness destroyed the world and destroyed our country, which made the existence of us Guardians unnecessary...... However, we didn't expect to be sealed by you weak creatures one day......"

"This should be a blessing for us, right?" Scott said with a sneer, "Your actions don't fit the title of Guardian at all!"

"Of course," said Lelagin with a faint smile and a somewhat mocking sneer, "we only exist to protect the Kingdom of Savos, not you species!—after the fall of the Kingdom of Savos, we should gain our long-lost freedom!"

"Including you playing for Argus?"

"Of course," said Larkin, shrugging his shoulders, "I respect the strong, and Argus has great power to keep me loyal until I have enough strength to defeat him......"

"You mean to say that no matter what you enter, as long as you can defeat you, you will be loyal to him?"

"Is it ironic?" Lelagin smiled and said lightly, "We are the guardians of the Kingdom of Savos, not the guardians of your class, and the life and death of your class have nothing to do with us, and you had better know this, at best, we are just trying to find something of interest to do in this almost eternal life......

"So, Great Guardian of the Ancient Kingdom, don't you feel too wronged to come to me so late to enroll in the class?" Scott sneered and sarcastically.

"What a merciless irony," said Lelagin, shaking his head, and then said earnestly. A kind word of advice to you, young man, let it be the end of it, lead your army back like this, the darkness ahead is beyond your imagination, you should know that in today's battle, those who died in battle, their souls, did not return to the place of death, where the soul belonged, but were absorbed by the dark altar standing in Sassen, their souls, as the energy to awaken a terrible existence, if you rush forward again, the world will be shrouded in darkness again......"

"Ah, that's a terrible darkness that you can't imagine!" said Lelagin in a deep voice, "Before this long time, we, the kingdom of Savos, ruled this land, but the power of darkness came and we could not match it, and it took them out of this world at the cost of destroying the entire kingdom and even the whole world......"

"They?" Scott frowned and asked oddly, "......What are you talking about by the dark forces?"

"It's the ancient will you call now!" Looking at the horror in Scott's eyes, Lelagin said in a deep voice, "I can tell you clearly that the terrible existence that Argus wants to summon to this world is the king who rules the dark world, he is a crazy guy, he controls everything he sees in his hands, and all the rebels will be ruthlessly destroyed by him, and there are seven ...... such guys."

"Seven?!"

"Those seven guys completely wiped out the whole world, you don't think that you have enough strength to resist that huge dark force, do you? Even one, it is not something you can resist, so, so far, Argus has obtained almost half of the soul energy, if you blindly want to take back Sasson, it will definitely allow that terrible existence to come smoothly......"

"......" glanced deeply at Larkin, and Scott fell into deep thought, and after a moment of silence he raised his head and said in a somewhat distrustful voice, "Is that good? tell me the information about Argus, or are you going to disobey him?—he can't wait for us to get to Sasson!"

"Can't wait?" said Larkin, shaking his head and smiling, "Argus, it's a very special class...... As I said, I don't intend to disobey him until I defeat him, or he is still alive, and telling you this is not a disobedience, but just kind advice, and it can be regarded as a reward for not killing me......"

"It's not that I won't kill you, it's just that I can't do it now......" Scott said with a sneer.

"It doesn't matter what," Lelagin shrugged his shoulders in relief and said lightly, "Anyway, I've completed my mission, and what the world will end up in has nothing to do with me......"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you, Argus's reason for keeping me in Kalia was not to stop you, but to lead you to Sassen, so I advised you to stop here......" said Larkin1ù with a strange look that could not be fated to understand.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, as the capital of this country, Sassen cannot continue to fall into the hands of Argus!"

"That's a pity...... Lelagin sighed slightly, looked at Scott, and said in a somewhat mocking tone, "You can rest assured that my mission has been completed, that is, I will no longer be needed in the future, so I will watch this battle as a bystander to see how you weak members of the class will challenge the supremacy of the dark forces...... How stupid!" he said, turning and jumping onto the balcony railing, glancing back at Scott, and a few leaps away, disappearing into the night.

Scott, on the other hand, held the black tea and looked at the endless night for a long time and fell into deep thought.

Faintly, he felt a little too little to look at the terrifying existence behind Argus, after all, it was just the demon god Lelagin who made him feel difficult to deal with, not to mention the ancient will that made those demon gods feel fearful...... What is the future of this world?

Perhaps, as Lelagin said, that is indeed well-meaning advice, two days later, Lavia led the Artac soldiers, and the two thousand Dark Mage Army, including Soth, to Sziddio, and as the city guard, it can be said that Lavia and Soth's old friend, the Gangero vampire, Jean Connier.

Aside from being much milder in tone, Connell said almost no different from Lelakin, and also asked Lavia and Soth to lead the army back and not continue to approach Sasson, which made Lavia and Soth feel a little strange.

To be honest, as the defender of Stidio, the wolf into Connir can be said to be irresponsible at all, at the beginning of the battle, he clearly told Lavia and Soth that as long as they can kill the two thousand death knight army, they can recapture the city of Stidio, and judging by his expression, he does not plan to participate in the battle.

Indeed, regardless of his mentality, Connell simply couldn't do it to fight Lavia.

Wolf Enter's non-participation in the battle made this battle without any thrill at all, and under the coordinated attack of Artak and the Black Mage, the two thousand death knights had no ability to resist at all, not to mention the existence of Soth.

This battle did not mean anything other than to let the unconvinced dark mages see the strength of their Legionnaire, and the Alliance side took back control of Stidio at a great cost.

However, after the battle, Connell repeatedly asked Lavia and Soth to stop moving on, and even said something that surprised Lavia and Soth.

“...... This is my advice to you, and this is what Argus meant......"

Wasn't he expecting himself to wait to lead his army to Sassen to fight him in a decisive battle? In this way, he would have enough soul power to successfully summon the ancient will, the power of the **, into this world...... What's going on?

Meanwhile...... -- Somewhere, somewhere -- Beria, dressed in the robes of a cardinal of the Holy See in black, with his retinue, the king's puppet Kane is walking in the direction of Sasson.

As he walked, Beria suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and he clearly saw countless meteor-like beings streak across the sky, heading in the direction of Sassen.

"The warm-up has begun......

"Yes, Lord!—do you need to speed up, Lord?"

"No, that's fine, Kane......"

"Yes, Lord!"
