Chapter 12 Traitors or something, everywhere

Withstanding the surprise in his heart, Rem finally figured out the situation.

He asked about the events of the Southern Expedition in the past, such as the time of the Wings of Judgment's attack, the exact words of Rem's order, and various small details.

Rem's questions are very ingenious, these seemingly inconspicuous details are known only to the brave man, and no one else can give the correct answer.

Although Emilia is an idiot, she doesn't have a bad memory. After answering correctly several times in a row, Rem also completely lost his suspicions and completely believed in Emilia's identity.

As for Edward......

Rem tried Edward in the same way, and the answer was still correct.

Edward had long expected that Rem would use this method to test his identity, but Rem did not expect that he was originally a demon.

He said that he was a member of the Wings of Judgment and sacrificed himself to become a slave of the demons for the sake of humanity...... There is only one way to test the authenticity, and that is to ask him questions about the demons.

Rem racked his brains and asked all the information about the demons in his head, including the tribal composition of the demons, the distribution of troops, the upper-level structure, and living habits......

If Edward was really an undercover agent lurking among the demons, he would have been able to answer Rem's question.

Who is Edward? The King of the Demon Race! The Everfree Forest is his family's back garden, the Demon Tribe is equivalent to his neighbors, and the Demon Army is even more obedient to him, and it is difficult for him to answer these questions incorrectly.

"The most powerful tribe in the Demon Race is the Red Blood Tribe. Edward shook his head and talked to Rem about it with relish, "The patriarch of the Red Blood Tribe, Gruel, is a strong orc, tall and powerful, and he is one of the most powerful subordinates of the Demon King. ”

"That's right......" Rem nodded in acknowledgement.

"Hehe, these are all basic common sense, as long as you stay with the demons for a month, you will naturally know everything. ”

“...... Basic common sense, is it?"

Rem was helpless.

Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles. The information that Edward said just now was obtained by countless soldiers with their surnames and blood, and ordinary people did not understand it at all, but for Edward, these were just "basic common sense......

Rehm, whose self-esteem was slapped hard, decisively gave up his suspicions of Edward.

As for the rest of the night......

To Rem's question, Night answered it like this.

She grew up in a border village, and one day, the village was unfortunately attacked by demons, and everyone was killed. The demons were amazed by her appearance, so they took her back as a slave.

Since then, she has lived a life that is worse than death every day, and luckily, a hero saves her life.

Edward - Also as a slave, Edward has always cared for her, comforted her, and gave her hope to live in the darkest of times, and in the end, Edward saved the seriously injured brave, and also rescued her, and took her back to the land of God.

From then on, she regarded Edward as her benefactor, and vowed to follow him for the rest of her life and serve him until she died.

"Ahem...... I didn't expect you to be such a loving woman, I hope you can be happy. Rem said with a smile, if there is a deep meaning.

"Thank you, night party. ”

"Well, in that case, I'd be too stingy to cover it any longer. Rem took a deep breath, put away his skeptical attitude, and said to Edward seriously, "Edward, I might as well tell you frankly that the Holy Emperor has a traitor. If I'm not mistaken, their purpose is to disrupt the exorcist army, make the nations hate each other, and then disintegrate the rule of the Holy Empire from within!

"Oh, yes?" replied Edward faintly.

"Y-Why aren't you surprised at all? Do you already know that?"

"Hehe, it's no secret. Edward shrugged, "Wouldn't you be surprised if I told you, Mr. Rehm, that there are traitors in the Holy See?"

"What? There are also in the Holy Ming Sect? It is impossible and impossible, the Holy Ming Sect believes in the God of Light, not Pope Shera, let alone some archbishop, even if they want to betray, there is no object to betray. ”

"I knew you didn't believe it. ”

"Who are you listening to?" asked Rem aloud.

"It's none of your business. Edward replied coldly.

Emisha Shara is his hole card, and there is no need for them to learn more about it until the last minute.

"Okay...... Anyway, Edward, if you're willing to sacrifice yourself for humanity, I'm sure you'll be willing to help us catch the traitors hiding in the military. ”

"Who knows. Edward was noncommittal.

"You!"

"For the sake of the Holy Empire, and for the sake of mankind, we hope to get your help, and at the same time, we also hope to get your help from Lord Brave!" After receiving Rem's words, Lance lowered his head in a witting manner, put away his high posture, and said respectfully.

"It's okay if you want me to help, but I can't fully trust you yet.

“...... As it should be, even we can't prove our innocence, maybe we ourselves are the traitors. Rem smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I hope that this southern expedition will be carried out according to my orders and according to the plan I have arranged. ”

"What?"

"What's the matter? Lance, this is not a difficult task for you, is it? Isn't it you the supreme commander of this southern expedition? ”

"Don't be too arrogant, Edward, do you know who you're talking to?"

Edward's tone was aggressive, and there was an order not to resist in it, Lance frowned, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time exploded in an instant.

"Marshal, in fact, you are just a bunch of incompetent waste, without me, you will definitely lose this southern expedition!"

Edward didn't accept this set, and in the face of Lance's threat, he did not show weakness.

"Stinky boy, don't think you're amazing, me!"

"Enough is Lance!" Rem interrupted Lance, "stop arguing. Edward, you tell me clearly, why is this southern expedition so lost?"

"Hehe, I know something interesting, but you military don't seem to know about it. ”

"What's the matter?" Rem asked curiously.

"The Demon King is the leader of the Demon Clan, and all tribes are loyal to the Demon King. You all think so, right?"

"Of course, isn't that right?"

"Hehe, if I say that there is actually an organization among the demons, and they are trying to rule the demon king, will you believe it?" said Edward leisurely.

"What?** Demon King's Domination?" Rem startled.

He never expected that the demons would be the same as humans, there would be traitors and villains with ill intentions.

"The name of that organization is called the Anti-Demon King Alliance. ”

"Huh?"

"That's right. The person who established this alliance was the leader of the Demon Fox Tribe. She is a very powerful demon fox, she believes that the demon race should not be ruled by the demon king alone, and should learn from humans, establish a council and other more scientific systems. ”

Remembering what Angelina had said, Edward opened his mouth without hesitation.

“......”

She believes that the demons should not be enemies of humans, and that the two races should live in harmony and refuse war. ”

"I agree with that. But what's the point?"

"Hehe, it so happened that when I was a slave in the Everfree Forest, I met her and became good friends with her. ”

"Good, good friends?"

"My word, she will definitely believe it unconditionally. If this southern expedition has her help, do you think the chances of the exorcist army will be a little better?"

The answer, of course, is yes.

The stronger the city, the easier it is to attack from within. With the help of the Anti-Demon King Alliance, the chances of the exorcist army being a little greater?

Only one person can get the help of the Anti-Demon King Alliance...... That's Edward.

"I grant your request. On this expedition to the south, I will try to follow your orders, of course, within a limited scope. After all, I still have thousands of soldiers under my command, and I can't ignore them. Holding back his anger, Lance finally agreed, under Rehm's instructions.

"It makes sense. ”

"Tell me, what do you want us to do?"

"I want to ......" (To be continued.) )
