Chapter 33: Countdown
Central City.
Good news is frequent, and every morning when people wake up, it seems that they can hear new good news.
Generalissimo Lance once again broke through the demons' defenses and managed to break through several kilometers into the Everfree Forest, and victory was on the horizon......
This kind of news, people's ears are almost cocooned. The same good news makes people scratch their heads, and people can't help but wonder, could this be false information?
Although Marshal Lance's plan did work very well - the demons were obviously not deployed in the middle lane, and there was nothing they could do about the lightning rush of the humans, and the few remaining defenders were just a lump of fat that they had voluntarily sent to the door in front of the brave.
But...... Lest it go a little too well, right?
It is not a very complicated tactic to attack the east and west, if you can defeat the demons by relying on this kind of tactics that are not very clever, then humans will not be able to entangle with the demons for hundreds of years.
Even if they are caught off guard by Lance's blitzkrieg, after receiving the news, the demons can immediately dispatch troops to fill the defensive void in the middle lane, instead of watching Lance enter their territory.
Could it be that this is a conspiracy of the demons? The real side that is being calculated is not the defeated demons, but the self-righteous Lance?
Lure the enemy deeper, deliberately reduce the defense in the middle, let Lance go deep into the Everfree Forest, and then give them a head-on attack when they are alone.
If that's really the case, this piece of good news will become a countdown to death.
However, there is one person who always has a smile on his face.
Sheila shook her head and sat on the stool, happy as she could.
I don't know what good news I heard, but Sheila has been quite excited these days. In her own words: the matter has come to this, the door of reincarnation has been opened, and nothing can change the world line, so she doesn't have to worry about anything at all.
What is reincarnation? Why change the timeline? Bruno couldn't understand half of the inexplicable words that Shera said.
"What do you think, Bruno?"
"What do you mean, Your Holiness the Pope?" asked Bruno respectfully.
Today, Shira seemed to be in a good mood, and she called Bruno over early and chatted aimlessly.
"I mean, of course, the Exorcists. Shira blinked, stared at Bruno and asked, "You say, can Lance defeat the demons?"
"Uh......" Bruno said nothing.
From morning to now, Sheila has a calm and breezy expression, as if she just wants to chat with Bruno, but now, Bruno knows very well that Sheila is looking for herself today is not just for chatting.
"Hehe, have you been discovered?"
"What? Hmm......"
His heart was like a hammer, and in the next second, Bruno felt a terrifying oppressive force.
Sheila's smiling face, there is no longer a little tenderness at the moment, or her gentleness falls in Bruno's eyes, and it all turns into a mockery.
This guy must be reading to herself again! She's spying on her own mind!
Thinking of this, Bruno broke out in a cold sweat.
"Why are you so nervous, relax, I won't do anything to you. Sheila said with a smile.
“......”
"Don't you believe me?" Seeing through Bruno's concerns, Sheila pouted, a little unhappy, "I swear to the God of Light that I will never kill you." That way, you can always have peace of mind, right?"
"Hmm......"
Hearing Xuela's words, Bruno not only did not feel a little relaxed, but became even more nervous.
Sheila's words were not comfort at all, she was clearly saying to herself: I know everything you think in your heart, but I don't want to kill you and let you live, so you'd better tell me everything you know quickly, otherwise, even the God of Light won't be able to protect you!
"Y-What do you want to ask?"
Enduring the monstrous fear, Bruno said word for word.
"Hehe, I just wanted to ask you, does he think the Exorcist Army can win?"
"Him?"
"Bruno, don't play dumb, you know exactly who he is. Approaching Bruno's eyes, a strange light flashed through Shira's blood-red pupils, "Tell me, Bruno, does he think the exorcists will win?"
He said that Lance would lose and that the Demon King would capture him alive. ”
After saying this, Bruno used all his strength, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
"Hahaha, that's true. ”
Sheila gently kicked Bruno's body away and walked out of the cathedral as if nothing had happened.
"It's time to bring the calamity back. But ......"
"Edward, would you still like to use it?"
===============
Everfree Forest, somewhere.
"My dear Demon King, I need you to ......," Night learned Edward's tone, and said slowly, "It's disgusting, master, why do you say such disgusting things?"
Leaving the Crimson Tribe again and returning to the army camp, Night with a mocking smile analyzes Edward's disgusting words for word.
"Tsk...... Don't take it out of context, isn't that sentence unfinished? And the second half of the sentence! The second half of the sentence is the point!"
"No, master, you don't have to explain any more. Deliberately make ambiguous and ambiguous statements that are likely to mislead the other party into your intentions and thus make the other party obey your orders. Night raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that Night is wrong?"
"No, I don't, I don't like **, that's why I don't want Angelina to misunderstand my intentions!" Edward told the truth.
"Master, that means that all the ambiguous statements you have made to the brave man are all because you like her?"
"Hey, what kind of logic did you use to arrive at such a judgment?" Edward was about to collapse.
"I don't know ......"
Don't overdo it irresponsibly, don't be too lazy to explain at night.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Emilia suddenly walked over, "Edward, where did you go? Lance is looking for you, come with me." ”
Trying to hold Edward's hand, Emilia finds that her hand has been slapped hard.
"The night and the master are chatting, brave, please shut up!" Seeing the appearance of that woman, the night was like a great enemy.
"You're wrong...... I'm not a brave man. Holding the back of her hand, which had been red by the night, Emilia shook her head in denial.
Now, Emisha is the recognized hero, and she's just an outdated, unknown hero.
"Oh, yes, recognizing your own incompetence and cowardice is also a sign of progress, congratulations, brave man who has fallen willingly. Night said with a smile.
"Hmph, you traitor to the human race, what qualifications do you have to say about me?" Not to be outdone, Emilia fought back, "I'm really not worthy of giving birth to your parents!"
"You!"
"Okay, okay. Edward covered his ears in self-deprecation.
The war between humans and demons is still not over, and the war between the two of them has begun again...... (To be continued.) )
