Chapter 5 The Choices Not Yet Made

"What happens if that enemy disappears, or is defeated?"

Lance's question, Rem didn't dare to be careless.

Although he kept clamoring to kill the demons and drive them out of the god-given land completely, Rem never thought about what would happen if the demons were truly defeated.

Cutting down forests and clearing wastelands, humanity will surely plunder the land of the Everfree Forest to vent its hatred for thousands of years. At the very least, Rem will.

But what about after that?

The Everfree Forest is not a fertile ground for human survival. What will people choose when they have satisfied their greed and finally understood that it will take generations to conquer that forest once and for all?

Without a formidable enemy, and without land and wealth to plunder lightly, how can greedy humans rest on their laurels?

When the time comes, they will surely turn their attention to their fellow citizens.

"If the demons are defeated by the exorcist army, then humanity will soon fall apart. Without waiting for Rem to answer, Lance was the first to give the answer.

In the face of strong enemies, the weak will join hands, and once the enemy disappears, they will show their ugliness again.

"Without the enemy of the Demon Race, not only will the human race itself fall into a civil war, but there will be no trust between the countries before, and the status of the Holy Ming Sect will inevitably decline, which is not the result that the Gate of Original Sin wants to see. ”

"Wait, I'm a bit of a mess...... I'm older, you wait for me to think about it. Rem clutched her head in pain.

He always felt that something was wrong.

First of all, the goal of the Gate of Original Sin is to unite all mankind to avoid catastrophe, which is understandable, and secondly, the Gate of Original Sin secretly promoted the union of mankind and prompted humans to fight with the demons, which is not wrong from the perspective of ordinary people.

In the end, in order not to let the demons be defeated, in order not to let the only enemy disappear, they chose to betray Vivette, betray the Wings of Judgment, and use the sacrifices of a few people in exchange for their so-called "noble creed".

This is their worst crime.

"In order to unite humanity, they chose a formidable enemy, and when that enemy was about to be defeated, they brutally killed their own countrymen, and died in the name of ...... Hey, Lance, they're all crazy, aren't they?" finally comprehending their logic, Rem snorted dismissively.

"This ......"

"Isn't it?Hmph, only you can control your own fate, and those crazy people believe in what bullshit gods they believe in, and they still believe in prophecies and the end of the world......?" Lance, where are they now?"

"They're in prison...... Wait, Mr. Rehm, what do you want to do?"

"Kill those bunnies!" Rem slapped the table and ran outside.

"Don't, don't, teacher, calm down, even if you want to kill them, you will have to wait until you resume your position as marshal......"

"What did you just say, Lance?" Rem suspected he had misheard.

"In a few days, it's not too late to kill them when you're reinstated as marshal. Lance said stiffly.

“......”

Chewing on Lance's speech repeatedly, Rem seemed to read something from it.

Reinstated as marshal...... Yourself, finally turned over?

==================

Central City, High Street.

Two women and one man stood at the mouth of the alley, and in front of them were seven or eight mighty men.

Absolute power and numbers suppressed, but the side that looked more panicked was the bluffing men.

"Y-Who are you? Don't you know that this street is the territory of our Black Flame Gang?"

Having just been beaten up, a man with a scar on his face yelled loudly.

He is the little leader of the Black Flame Gang, Scar Jill. Today, two bad things happened to him.

First things first: the Resurrection Hut, a small dessert shop on the commercial street, was unwilling to pay the protection fee because it was too high. In order to make them understand who is the boss of the street, Jill has to teach the store manager Ryan a lesson himself.

Unfortunately, he accidentally twisted his waist......

The second thing: just as he was about to go home to find a few bewitching women to massage his injured lower waist, three strange young men blocked his way and beat him up.

Even more unfortunate, he and his group of younger brothers together failed to beat a beautiful girl with a thin figure on the other side.

Actually, this girl Jill should know.

Perhaps because it was during the day, when I used to see her in the silence of the night, the girl carried a huge barrel in one hand and a drunken little girl in the other, like a monster haunting the darkness.

It's been a year, and there's no complaint that Jill hasn't recognized Emilia's identity. If he recognized it, he would definitely not say another word, even if he broke his waist, he would quickly escape from her.

"Black Flame Gang?" Emilia thought for a moment when she heard the name.

"Hmph, now you know you're scared, right? Hehe, girl, look at your white and pure, I don't care about you. Come, give Uncle a kiss, let's finish this matter today, otherwise ......"

"Otherwise, how?" asked Emilia coldly.

"No, no, ......no," Jill was about to say more, but he found that his arm had been twisted in an incredible way.

"Say!"

Emilia just glared, and all the little brothers were all stupid, and no one dared to come up to help.

This woman is not something they can handle......

"Don't, oh~~ It hurts, it hurts, I was wrong!" Jill wailed in pain.

"Call me what?"

Gently moved his hand, and there was a mournful cry like killing a pig.

"Oh, good sister...... Ah no, good sister, good aunt, good grandma, is that what please you?" Jill was sweating profusely, tears of pain welling up in pain, "Oh my ass...... Beauty, beauty, don't kick it!

"Wrong, what's wrong?"

“...... I, I shouldn't bully people, I'm a bastard, I won't dare to do it again, let me go. ”

"Disgusting...... Get out!" Kick Jill away, Emilia said with a blank face.

Seeing that his arm turned into a noodle, Jill had no resentment in his heart, only sadness and unwillingness...... Why me again?

Forced by Emilia's silver might, the Black Flame Gang fled.

"Handsome, so handsome!" said Edward, clapping his hands.

"Yes, yes......" Emilia asked rhetorically, pretending not to care.

"Of course. Edward suddenly knelt on one knee and pretended to say, "My handsome princess, may I ask me, can I be your knight and always be by your side?"

"......" Emilia turned her head and ignored him.

"Hey, how about I react, what should I do next?" Touching his nose in embarrassment, Edward grumbled repeatedly, "Tsk...... You human etiquette is too troublesome. ”

"If you bother, don't do it. Emilia whispered.

"Well, I ......" At this point, Edward suddenly realized something terrible.

When he got down on one knee just now, the night was watching him from behind him!

It's over, it's dead.

"Night, I, I'm just kidding, don't you ......"

"Master, what's wrong?" Night interrupted Edward, staring blankly at him.

"......" Edward was startled by the night's reaction.

There are only two possibilities for this reaction. First, she hadn't heard anything, and second, she wasn't going to listen to Edward's explanation, and was ready to die with Emilia.

"Oh, sorry, the night wandered. What did you just say?" asked the night innocently.

"No, nothing ......"

Edward couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...... Fortunately, she was distracted, otherwise the war would have started again.

Thinking of this, Edward smiled guiltily at Emilia, as if glad that his wife didn't find out that she was cheating with her.

Emilia just glanced at him expressionlessly, and then immediately turned her head to prevent him from seeing her disappointed eyes.

Sure enough, between himself and her, he was still unwilling to make a choice. (To be continued.) )
