Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 146 Before the Decisive Battle
The next morning, the emir suddenly woke up from his sleep, he did not expect that he had slept directly last night, and was more relaxed than before.
But he obviously had to be wary of Cornes' sneak attack, and now that he woke up, he couldn't help but feel guilty to himself, and then glad that nothing had happened.
However, as soon as he walked out of the room, Rena crashed into his arms in a panic.
"Lord Emir, it's not good!"
The emir thought that Cornes was attacking, and hurriedly protected her behind him, but only to use his magic perception to find that there was no trace of the enemy.
"What's wrong? Panicked. β
"That'...... That, I, I'm sorry! Rena suddenly lowered her head and said apologetically.
"What the hell is going on? Can you make it clear to me first? "The emir finally got impatient.
Seeing his fierce appearance, Rena suddenly became calm, and then said what the problem was.
"That's it...... Yesterday a room was arranged for each guest as you ordered, but there was only one guest, because you ...... Ah no, it's really my fault, anyway, I forgot to arrange it for that guest, so I ......"
Emir only understood when he heard this, but it wasn't a big deal, and Rena made it look like the sky was about to fall, and this kind of babbling behavior really should be disciplined.
"I say, Rena, do you think this is really important?"
ββ¦β¦ It's more than important, Lord Emir, if I make such a big mistake, that guest will definitely kill me, so please save me, and punish me as much as I want afterwards. Rena pleaded with tears in her eyes, and seemed to be frightened.
But the emir felt more and more baffled, and there seemed to be no fierce and vicious fellow among the people who came to help deal with Cones, how could he kill people because they were not assigned a room.
"Well, I'd like to ask, who is that guest you're talking about?"
"I don't know her name yet, but her features are obvious, and although she is as good as the other ladies, and seems to be noble, she is quite rude in her manners, and she has a very violent personality, and she always threatens people if she disagrees......"
"Oh, I see." The emir didn't have to listen any longer to know who it was.
"That's great, you must save my life." Rena asked again.
But Emir couldn't help but laugh, because according to what he knew about Alice, this guy was probably the kindest of them all, after all, she was the kind of person who could see through at a glance.
"What are you laughing at, Lord Emir? Is there a way to appease the guest's anger? Rena asked tentatively.
"It's nothing, what I want to say is that the guest is really dangerous, fortunately you came to me in time, otherwise it ......"
"Or else?" Rena looked nervous and broke out in a cold sweat.
There was an indescribable cuteness in her expression that made Emile want to tease her, but then he remembered the situation and was ashamed of his indecent attitude.
"Haha, otherwise, she will definitely make you unable to eat and walk around, but you don't have to worry now, I will help you settle everything, after all, this is also my responsibility as the city lord."
"Thank you so much, Mistress Emir." Rena immediately showed an expression of great reverence.
"Alright, you can go to work."
"Hmm!"
Rena excitedly agreed, and then ran away.
However, as she passed the staircase, she suddenly turned and beckoned to the emir.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Mistress Emir, you must remember that you will have breakfast in ten minutes."
"yes, got it." The emir nodded.
Looking at her departing back, the emir couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
As the most important people around him died one after another, he once thought that there would never be such a moment in his life, but now he found that there seemed to be more and more people around him, and he felt more and more happiness like never before.
"Well, that's enough, as long as I defeat Cornes, my future will be bright." The emir made up his mind.
"Hmph, it's disgusting, I'm giggling alone there."
Suddenly, a female voice interrupted his thoughts.
Emir quickly looked out the window and found a familiar red figure, the other party was crouching on the edge of the window, and it was difficult to see her presence due to the dark red curtains.
"Alice, you...... Why are you here? β
"Hmph, why can't I be here," said Alice indignantly, "if I hadn't just wanted to see if you were awake, so I ran over a few minutes early, and I would have been kept in the dark, and I didn't expect you to speak ill of me behind my back, and you felt your conscience and said, am I really so bored to go to trouble the little human girl?" β
"No, you heard me wrong." The emir hastened to deny it.
"Cut, dare not admit it, is this your human style?"
Alice jumped in at once, pressing on the emir and finally blocking him in a corner.
Emir couldn't get any more confused, so he had to apologize.
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that about you. β
Seeing this, Alice smiled contentedly.
"Hmph, it's pretty much the same, fortunately, I have a lot of adults, and I don't care about you in general, if this is someone else, I don't know how much revenge will go."
"Yes, Lord Alice, you are the best," said the Γmile in a timely flattering tone, and then asked tentatively, "and then again, Lord Alice, will you give in?" If we are seen in this way, it is likely to damage your reputation. β
However, it was too late for him to say this, and when Alice realized the problem, she quickly flashed to the side and let Emile come out of the corner, and a more familiar figure appeared behind them.
"Auntie, sister, you ......" Lilith's eyes widened.
"That...... Don't get me wrong, we're just talking about tactics, and it's not about avoiding people's eyes, so just hide in the corner, it's not what you think. Alice quickly explained, but she had a weak expression, as if she was really tired.
Compared to her sister's nervousness, Lilith saw the clue at once, but she didn't say anything, just took Emir's hand and left.
Emir looked confused, he couldn't understand Alice's expression just now, it was obviously a misunderstanding, why did she still show a panicked look.
It wasn't until the moment he left the hallway that he looked back and saw Alice grimacing at him.
"Haha, I actually fell for that guy's trick." The emir laughed silently.
β¦β¦
After breakfast, the group officially set out to attack Cones.
The tactics are now basically clear, first the white dragon and the obsidian Charlotte are in charge of using the time-reversal magic to control Cones, and then the others take the opportunity to use all their resources to greet each other.
When the crowd was exhausted, the Emir regained their strength in time, and once Cones was out of control, although the chances of such a thing happening were slim, Emir had to consider that he would be able to fend off Cones' counterattack at that time.
As long as they persist like this, and Cornes is exhausted and he can no longer recover from his injuries, then they will be considered victorious.
Then, after more than an hour's journey, everyone finally arrived at yesterday's demon stronghold.
Along the way, the emir used his magical perception to detect the location of Cones at any time, and until now, he was quite sure that Cones was there, but he also sensed another existence with great magical power.
There was no doubt that it must be Pedro, but he was still a little strange, the two Dark Knights should have met last night, didn't they fight all night without a winner?
With such a question, the group gathered outside the surface building of the stronghold.
"Very well, Cornes is down here, let's do it." Ophelia offered directly.
"Well, if you want to lure him out and start a war again, I always feel like Cornes will set a trap," Anne said with a little vigilance, "Although we have time-reversing magic as cover on our side, it is still ...... to be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship"
However, before Anne could finish speaking, a pair of small hands were raised, which were the hands of the little fox Mier, and she was very excited from the moment she set off when she learned that the decisive battle was going to be fought today.
"Sister Anne, I'll go, let me take the lead."
Ophelia glanced at her petite body, and although she sensed that the level of magic in her body was comparable to her own, she was still uneasy.
As a result, Anne was considering the feasibility of it, but with other people present, she couldn't decide on her own.
At this time, the emir spoke.
"Well, what Anne said just now does make sense, let's be careful, since this Miss Mi'er wants to take on this great responsibility, then it is happily decided."
Seeing that the other two witches had no objection to this, Mi'er immediately jumped up with joy.
Then, without waiting for everyone to react, she rushed to the staircase that led to the ground.
And the strange thing is that even the stone door of the surface building was not opened, and no one could see how Mi'er got in.
A few minutes later, Mi'er walked through the dark passage with her excellent perception, and now Cornes has set up countless traps in the passage in order to interfere with the offensive of the emir and others, but Mi'er is not afraid at all, she runs over with agility, and does not even trigger any delicate traps.
In this way, she made her way to the hall on the ground floor, where it was even darker, but nothing could be hidden in front of Mier's senses, let alone Cones, who was emitting traces of intense magic, and of course, she also noticed Pedro.
However, she looked at the figure in the darkness with a slight surprise, and did not understand why the two men had been standing still.
It wasn't until a few minutes passed that she couldn't help her curiosity and began to slowly approach the other party, and the huge pressure emitted by the power of the demon king made it difficult for her to breathe, but she was still not afraid.
Because she has the ability to erase traces of her own magic power, although the magic power in her body is quite abundant, as long as the other party can't see her, she is equivalent to invisibility.
And when she was less than two meters away from Cornes, the statue-like still figure instantly struck, and a giant sword stabbed at her.
Because she used magic to make her body very light, the air currents generated by the greatsword attack actually caused her to retreat directly to the same place.
"What?"
The voice of the other party's slight surprise sounded in the darkness.
After realizing that the trick of concealing her body did not work, Mi'er was not discouraged, but rather that it was natural for such a powerful enemy to be able to do this, and it also aroused her fighting spirit even more.
It's just that she is a person who takes care of the overall situation, and she never takes things seriously, and she always keeps in mind that her mission this time is just to lure the snake out of the hole.
