3. Sacrificial love

Can undisguised love really save the qiē you want to protect?

No, it should be put another way, in this world, there really is zài, which can make people protect the qiē she wants to protect, is this way to save zài?

The answer is no, although at first everyone thinks that it is possible, but it is just a naïve fantasy.

There is no one, no way, who can protect what Yiqiē wants to protect, and the only thing that can be done is to protect the more important things on the basis of sacrificing relatively unimportant things.

This is indeed a bit unfair to the abandoned party, but this is a helpless thing, and it is better to exchange a small part of the benefits for something more important than to lose a qiē. This is not hypocrisy, on the contrary, it is really "good".

At the beginning, no one would understand this, and the result waiting for them was either to collapse in the qiē that they couldn't protect what they wanted to protect, or to comprehend the true meaning of guarding after continuous loss.

That's right, isn't it already clear what they are for, and what they will suffer? After all, they don't deserve to be witches, and they can't be witches.

The only person who completes that qiē is himself. Therefore......

"My lord, you seem to have something on your mind?"

Livia asked tactfully, "Is there any bad news in the letter?"

After opening the letter, Mia fell into deep thought, no, I should say that I remembered something, which made Liviatan a little worried.

"It's not really a good thing if it's just in words. Mia spread out the letter, and although it wasn't really good news, she still had a smile on her face.

"My innocent sister, who just knew a little bit of clues, is going to cause me trouble again. ”

“...... Leaving the fortress and missing whereabouts?"

Liviatan, who took the letter, muttered, "I must have come to the territory of a foreign nation in the north." She...... Ay...... My lord. ”

"I said it, if you did anything excessive......"

"But my lord, do you just let her make trouble, though I don't think she has that ability. But if it really gets your plans thwarted......"

"I won't say it a second time, she's my youngest sister. She is also the sister who relied on me the most before, although the naivety is excessive" Mia's face turned cold, "So, she is the only one, you ......"

"I see, please rest assured. Before Mia's face dropped completely, Liviatan nodded, "I'll give you a stern warning for the rest of the pieces." They won't go against you. ”

“...... Well, though, even if I really wanted to go to her, it wouldn't be realistic. ”

Mia said, "As mentioned in the letter, the little sister left with two people, and brought the lustful Asmantis, so probably a big trouble is going to come and harass me." ”

"Is that candidate who looks and least looks like Lord Lilith?" said Liviathan's face with undisguised disgust. It seems that Lis's own existence is an insult to the witch Lilith.

"Liviatan! pay attention, she's my sister too. ”

"Yes......"

"But this time, she caught me the most disadvantaged. Worthy of my sister. Mia sat down, "Belusep and they're somewhere else now, she's pretty picky...... It seems that most of the games are unavoidable, Liviatan, what about the other three?"

“...... My lord, this time, it seems that we have underestimated the strength of the Empire, and it seems that there are still many inconsistencies between the situation we have investigated before and the reality. ”

Liviathan replied. "First of all, the strength of the fortress is much higher than we thought. And the magic shield is also a strengthened form, a soldier stationed in the fortress. And the supplies seem to be very sufficient, and because we are actively attacking, we have lost the opportunity to sneak attack. ”

......

"The most difficult thing is the battle situation, although the area in charge of Belusebu has achieved a lot of advantages at the beginning, but it was quickly suppressed by the twelve palace heroes summoned by the astrologer Frey, and it should be in a stalemate for a short time. Belle's place in charge is defended by Doranna, the holder of the Holy Sword Durandal, who has been operating in the Empire for a long time, Arthur, the wielder of the Sword in the Stone, and Orggie, the wielder of the Holy Sword Kartina, who was sent directly from the Church, and Beryl seems to have been slightly injured by Augie's sneak attack. It only took three paladins to stop Belle, and most of our plans with the Crusaders of the Church were put on hold for the time being. ”

“...... Looks like it's a bit of trouble, what about Samael?"

Mia asked, "I don't expect anything from her, but let's talk about it." ”

"My lord, don't mention that idiot!"

At the mention of Samael, Liviatan was as angry as the mother of a child who did not fight, "I thought she was no threat there, but she was actually designed by the princess of the empire, and she was tricked around, and it seems that she was repulsed." ”

“...... Don't be angry. Tiger fathers have no dog girls, this is an inevitable thing. But in this way, it seems that in this chess game, my chess pieces are only you and the love-hate demon?"

Mia stood up, "Come out with me, Liviathan." ”

The scenery outside the tent is still the same, except for the identical black tents around, most of the only thing left is the blue sky above the head that is worth seeing. After seeing Mia come out of the tent, the orcs not far away all ran away with their big tails flicked in terror.

The reason is obvious, Lim broke in so vigorously, thinking that there was something good to watch, but it turned out that this irascible little wolf fox was carried out by Sylna, and what happened in there, there is no need to guess too much.

"The emotions expressed by animals are the most direct. ”

Mia didn't express too much surprise at the group of orcs who had begun to fear her, "It seems that my situation is not good right now. Liviatan, you say, if I don't have the help of Arya of the Blue Rose, can I get the help of the 'foreigners'?"

"You can do anything, my lord. Liviathan returned. "'Assistance from the Foreigners', the current chess pieces are still too clumsy, and its quality is not good. Please be careful before the Black Cross succeeds in turning into pawns. Of course. I will protect your safety with my life. ”

"It's something for Belil, not you. ”

Mia turned, "However, the current pawn is indeed a temporary product of coincidence and hastiness, and the scheming Princess Rose, if she hadn't been blinded by hatred, would have clearly seen that I was taking advantage of her...... No, maybe she already knew it. It's just that I'm borrowing my hand to pave the way for her plan? I see, it's really a smart but sorry woman. ”

What she likes is the other party's own storage zài, and the orcs who listen to her almost all of them, these two are the storage zài as chess pieces. And she is most likely interested in the strength of the demons around her, reciprocity, mutual "benefit", both sides are competing, who will complete their respective plans first, until that time. That is, the day of tearing the skin.

"With all due respect, my lord, you are not in a good situation right now. If you want to stay here safely, it's better to do something for them, such as hunting down the remnants of the other two factions of the orcs, although it sounds a bit troublesome, but it is also necessary. ”

"Hmm...... That's true, and so on. ”

Mia's eyes lit up, and I thought of a good idea, but you probably won't agree to it, Liviatan......"

"Huh. What's the solution, sister?"

My second sister!

This guy. Do you really dare to run over and provoke in person?!

"What's the best way to sue me?"

Liz, looking a little bored, began to play with her hair. "My sister is gone, and I'm bored all of a sudden, sister, play with me for a while?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't done that yet. ”

Mia took a step back, and Liviatan immediately stood in front of her, i.e., Viatan was just a fragile magician.

Soon, Raviel and Haittel, who were black and white, also rushed over and looked at Liz as if they had discovered big news.

"On the contrary, it's you, the second sister, obviously the little sister has already joined the chess game, and you didn't make the first move, I'm very surprised. ”

"Hehehe, sister, are you saying this to yourself?" Lisi covered her mouth and laughed, although there was not a trace of a smile on her face, "Speaking of which, who can compare, you who have already personally sent relief to your six younger sisters, are you going to come?"

“......”

"Shut up!"

【Smack】

Liz just clapped her hands lightly, interrupting the magic that Riviatan was about to throw.

"The curse that the Black Butterfly gave me is gone, so, Aunt Liviatan, don't act rashly?"

Lisi smiled, "Sister, you also know, no one will attack our youngest sister, so cute, innocent and distressed children, it seems that when she was young, her favorite person was your sister?

"Now that the inducement is over, let's get started. Although her brow was furrowed, Mia still had no intention of shouting. Despite the fact that this is the stronghold of the orcs.

"All you want is to look for an opportunity when I don't have any chess pieces available. ”

"No, no, it's too restrictive as a chessboard. Lisi shook her head, "When you have time to go somewhere else, sister, I'm coming to play with you, unless, sister, you will stay here and not go out?"

This guy can always say what he plans to do casually.

Originally, he really planned to wait until the other three demons all arrived and there were enough chess pieces before acting, but now that he is open, it seems that this is not possible.

The second sister who has mastered the situation will most likely use various methods to force herself to take the bait.

"Ah, speaking of which, sister. I remember that you used to seem to be the most spoiled little sister among our sisters. ”

Liz's figure gradually disappeared in front of Mia's eyes, but the words she left behind were not so easy for Mia to forget.

"If there really is such a day, I will definitely not hesitate, but what about you, sister?" (to be continued)
