Chapter 8: The Attack on Elnica
Although Enhir III was also enraged at this time, he still maintained a good demeanor on the surface, and in the face of these provocations, he appeared calm, and then he continued to speak: "In any case, the conditions of Twilight City's exchange for Black Shield City are not reasonable, you must add at least two more cities, and return all the Dolores soldiers who were captured by you before. ”
"Enhil, you're laughing at a joke. Our valiant Ausian soldiers took these Dolores soldiers capturing with their own countless sacrifices, and I just let them go? Is this worthy of the dead soldiers of the Ottoian Empire? Also, let me go out of the three cities, why don't you let me hand over St. Mayerde, and then go back and continue to be a great general for you? Owen lay lazily in his chair and said to Enshir III with a nonchalant expression.
At this time, Erin and Edwards also looked solemn, for the demands put forward by both sides, they knew in their hearts that it was impossible for the other side to agree to such conditions, and it seemed that the armistice agreement could be successfully signed, or it was an unknown that there was far from being reached. Fortunately, the two of them were still willing to sit down and talk, all thanks to the demon's deterrent power to the two of them, they had both fought against the demon, and naturally knew how terrifying the demon was. If it were to follow the results of the previous negotiations, they would have broken up long ago.
"You know my temper, Owen." Enshir III sneered.
"You know my temper, Enhill, if it weren't for Edwards and Erin's face, I would have flipped the table and left." Owen stood up and responded.
"Report! Report to my lord, a large number of demons have appeared outside the castle, and now the guards are fighting against them, but the demons are so strong that we may not be able to resist them. A soldier burst into the hall and reported to Edwards on one knee.
"Yo, what a coincidence today, Fira, go kill all those ugly monsters out there, and don't let these monsters mess up my old friend's place." Owen commanded Fira, the demon hunter beside him.
"But Your Majesty, if I leave... And you...? Fila did not agree with Owen's order, this time he came to Ernica Owen himself with only one escort, if he left the emperor's side again, then in the event of an accident, he could not bear this responsibility at all.
Owen saw through Fira's thoughts, so he continued: "Don't worry, Edwards will protect me well, besides, the demons are all here, no matter how many fights and grievances there were before, Enshir will not be so disregarding the overall situation, and thirdly, don't forget that I am also a guy who fought on the battlefield." ”
Phila nodded, drew her sword, and walked in the direction of the door.
And Enshir III immediately signaled to let his demon hunters and magicians and other guards come to help, and this limelight of killing demons cannot be stolen by the side of the Ottoid Empire.
An hour and a half later, the demons outside the castle were also quickly cleaned up by human demon hunters and magicians, after all, with the level 70 demon hunter Fira and a group of masters in charge, even if the demons were more numerous, they could not escape the fate of being wiped out after all.
After dealing with it, Fira returned to the conference hall, at this time, Owen, Enhill III, Edwards, Erin and others still maintained the posture they had just left, and if you observe carefully, you will find that the expressions of these people have not changed much.
Fira came to Owen's side and reported in a voice that everyone present could hear clearly: "Your Majesty, the number of demons attacking outside the castle just now is conservatively estimated to be about four or five hundred, and most of them are the same as the wolf demons and hellhounds and other demons that appeared in various parts of the Ark Continent before. In addition to this, flying demons such as demon bats and ghost demons such as Night Ghost appeared, led by a few ordinary demon warriors and a Helldemon general. All of them have been killed so far. ”
"Got it, you've worked hard." Owen's expression became complicated when he heard this, if hearing about Phila and the completion of the hunt for demons made him feel a little more relaxed, then when Phila said that there were more and more types of demons, his anxiety quickly surged into his heart.
Edwards, as the host of today's meeting, hurriedly answered: "Two, we said that the demon came before was only rumors and stories, and now that the demon has hit the outside of my castle, I think you two have also thoroughly understood the seriousness of the matter." If the two of you are still arguing over the previous city and pool, then we will all wait to be slaughtered by the demons together. ”
"Each side gave in to the Dolores Empire, with the Dolores Empire handing over Twilight City to the Oss, and the Ostics handing over Black Shield City and another city to the Dolores Empire, as well as the release of all the other captives they had previously captured. What do you think of this condition? Erin, the president of the Wizards Guild, also took advantage of the situation and said.
"Let's do it." Enhil III and Bloodhoof Owen said in unison, even after decades of fighting against each other, the tacit understanding between the two old friends is still the same.
"Good! Good! What a blessing for humanity to be able to do this! Now, let's talk about how to deal with the demons, and before that, Chief Bald, tell the kitchen to serve wine and food, and I'm going to have a good drink with my old friends, and we'll talk while we drink! The smile on Edwards' face finally bloomed, since the beginning of the meeting, he had been worried about whether the two of them would be unhappy again as before, and now that the agreement was reached, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, at least at this moment, the three of them who were called the Golden Trident back then.
At the same time, Lambert, who heard that Elnika Castle was under attack by demons, also rushed from his home, but by the time he arrived, the demons had already been hunted.
Lambert, who was observing the battlefield near the castle, saw the demon hunter Jace not far away, who was directing the castle's guards to clean up the corpses of humans and demons.
Lambert approached Jace and asked, "Uncle Jace, why are there so many demons today?" ”
"Is this more, the corpses of these demons have almost been disposed of, the few you see are just fragments, just now we made a preliminary count, the number of demons involved in the attack this time is no less than five hundred, and there are many high-level demons appearing, fucking Lao Tzu almost made a demon warrior flip his head, scaring Lao Tzu." Jace said to Lambert with one hand on his waist and his sword in the other.
"So much? So how did you manage to kill the demon so quickly? Most of the troops of Elnica City were guarded near the coastline, and it was impossible to return to the castle in a short time. Lambert continued.
"You don't know, look over there." Jace pointed to Elnika Castle and continued, "Now the three leaders of the Alc Continent, the former Golden Trident, are sitting in the conference hall to talk, and Irene, the president of the Wizards Association, is also among them, if it weren't for the support of the brothers of the Ossian Empire and the Dolores Empire just now, we would definitely not be able to laugh now." Speaking of this, Jace had to smile bitterly, although his level was also level forty-five, but in the face of so many demons appearing at the same time, and there were also super high-level demons like Demon Warrior and Purgatory Demon General, if he hadn't been saved by Fira, a seventy-level demon hunter of the Ostross Empire just now, I am afraid that he would not be able to brag with Lambert here.
