Chapter Twenty-Three: The Foresight of Waste Firewood
Everfree Forest.
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts...... Night, stop playing, it's really going to kill people if you do it again!"
"Oh, yes, master, didn't you just say that you didn't care about falling into the rift of time and space, so ......"
"So, you're going to push me in?"
"Nope. Yaben wants to fall in with you, because in that case, even if he falls into the rift of time and dies, Yaya can die with you. ”
"Hey ......"
Edward was stunned, and the two diametrically opposed emotions of weirdness and emotion came to his heart at the same time, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Master, Ye was joking just now, Ye doesn't want to die with you, Ye hopes you can die before Ye. Noticing Edward's embarrassment, Night explained "thoughtfully".
"Yes, yes...... Hehe. ”
Edward always felt that this sentence made him more uncomfortable than the previous one...... Is it a delusion?
"Good evening, Lord Demon. ”
While they were chatting, a beautiful woman walked in from outside.
"Qing, you are. Where's Angelina?" Edward asked.
"She, she......"
"I'm here!"
Before anyone arrives, the sound is heard first. Far away, Edward heard the girl's childish voice.
Earlier, Edward had made a portal to the Crimson Tribe in his tent, and he had secretly left the barracks and ran here.
"You, looking for me?" asked Angelina curiously.
In the middle of the night, she was in no mood to deal with the trivial affairs of her subordinates, and even if someone looked for her, she ignored them.
She's a dignified demon king's agent, how can she easily ignore ordinary miscellaneous soldiers......? If it's a demon king, it's different.
Late at night, she was busy doing something she didn't dare to do during the day, when someone suddenly told her that a strange pair of "humans" had broken into the Red Blood Tribe, saying that it was important to find the Demon King's agent.
Silvery-white hair...... There is no doubt that the guy must be Edward!
Her good deeds were interrupted, and Angelina had to dress up and come out to meet him, even if she didn't want to.
"Edward, is that you, and Sister Night?" Angelina pursed her lips and asked with a frown, "Why are you here so late?"
"This ...... Angelina, I shouldn't have bothered you with good things, did I?" Edward glanced at her quietly.
Standing behind Angelina was the woman named Qing.
He noticed that Angelina's face was a little flushed, and that the expression was not the one that a person should have when he woke up from his sleep, but like the expression of a person who was obsessed with joy and couldn't help himself, but was forcibly interrupted.
Resentment, unwillingness, all in all, Angelina doesn't seem to want him to appear.
Noticing Edward's gaze, Qing was a little shy, and quietly pressed the hem of her folded skirt, uneasily checking whether there was anything strange sticking to her body, and at the same time giving Angelina a look.
"Hit, bother whatever! I, I...... Qing and I didn't do anything!"
Before Qing could say anything, Angelina was the first to lose her breath, she waved her little fist, and screamed.
Don't admit yourself, there is no silver here...... That's her.
"Hey, I didn't say what you did, why are you so excited?"
"Hmm...... Big **, what the hell are you doing here, so people can't sleep!" Angelina pretended to be listless and rubbed her eyes, pretending to yawn, as if she wanted to prove that she really didn't do anything strange just now.
"The Exorcists are coming, you know?" asked Edward.
"Of course I do!"
"They are divided into three routes, eastern, western, and central attacks at the same time, you know?"
"Hey, **, you didn't come to me to tell me this. I'm a demon king, how can I not know?"
"Tsk, you little devil...... Don't forget, you're just the Demon King's agent, and I'm the real Demon King!"
"Believe it or not, I'll usurp power to you every minute, you big **!"
Woke up in the middle of the night, no one was happy, Angelina couldn't get angry, and pointed at Edward is a scolding.
"Damn ......" Seeing Angelina's unstoppable arrogance, Edward was angry.
This dead girl, don't fight for a few days, go to the house to reveal the tiles! It seems that it's time for her to understand who the real boss is!
"What's the matter, come on, come on, I'm not afraid of you! Qing, let's fight with this **!" Angelina clenched her fists, with a ruthless posture that as long as you dare to come, I will hammer you to death.
"Hey, forget it, I'm too lazy to quarrel with you, let's get down to business. Edward reluctantly threw his hands in the towel, "Do you have any good ideas for dealing with them......?" It is said that they have a large number of troops on the east and west fronts, so should they give up the middle lane and focus their defense on the east and west lines?"
"Hey, you big **, are you underestimating me?" Hearing Edward's question, Angelina said depressedly, "I'm not an idiot, I won't give up the middle lane easily, even if there are few of them." ”
"Tsk, you're smart. ”
"Of course, do you think I've been in Central City for so many years, just doing the rough work for old man Kane!, I've learned a lot about human knowledge!" Angelina said with her arms crossed, "Those cunning humans are really abominable, why can they think of those weird tactics, and we can't?"
“......”
It's not that humans are too smart, it's that you're too stupid...... Edward had to complain in his heart about this.
"The commander of the exorcist army this time is Lance, right?" asked Angelina.
"How do you know?"
"Hmph, that guy Lance, he must want to feint from the east and west, and then take the opportunity to break through from the middle, it must be like this!"
"This ......"
"I've seen through his plan a long time ago! The terrain on the east and west lines is flat, which is conducive to group combat, and human soldiers can form a powerful battle formation on the plain, even if we have superior forces, we can only barely resist their attack, and cannot advance half a step. As soon as it came to fighting, Angelina was extremely excited, "They must want to use the terrain advantage to drag our main force, and then integrate elite forces to break through from the middle in one fell swoop, tear a hole in our defense line, and finally close the left and right, and catch the turtle in the urn!"
"Uh......"
"What, am I wrong?hehe, this childish tactic is what I saw in the textbook a few years ago, that Lance guy is outdated!" Angelina smiled and glanced at Qing, as if to show her her clever mind, "I have already arranged the defenders in the middle lane. The middle road is full of cliffs, as long as Lance dares to come, I dare to let him come and go!"
“...... Well, you're right, you guessed it all. Edward didn't hide it, and admitted it cleanly.
Fortunately, he ran away before the exorcist army attacked, otherwise, Lance would have been beaten to the ground, and maybe he would have been captured by Angelina in the end.
Although she had long expected that Angelina was not so innocent and must have seen something tricky, she surprised Edward far more than that.
Not only did she see through the opponent's tactics at the first time, but she did not hesitate, completely trusted her own judgment, and made an effective response in the shortest possible time...... Angelina, this guy, may really be more suitable for the position of the king than herself, and there is nothing wrong with letting her be the agent of the demon king.
Thinking of this, Edward didn't know whether to rejoice at his long-sighted decision, or to grieve at his hopeless wastewood.
"Big **, what do you want?" Angelina patted Edward's shoulder curiously, "Oh yes, you haven't told me yet, what the hell are you coming to me? Don't say you came to me because you missed me...... Disgusting, I'm not interested in you like this!"
At this, Angelina glanced at Qing again, as if to hint at her with her eyes.
"Who would miss you!" Hanging his head helplessly, Edward cautiously observed the movements around him, and after making sure that no fourth person could hear him, he continued, "I came this time to tell you about Lance's plan, and then ......"
"No, I've seen through it a long time ago! Interrupting him, Angelina smirked.
"Listen to what I'm done. I want to tell you about Lance's plan, and then ......," Edward continued, after a pause, "and then, let you cooperate with him. ”
"Huh?"
"Don't set up in the middle, let him come!"
Edward said sternly. (To be continued.) )
