"I don't believe Janet is dead. Siegel looked at Janet's body on the bed and said to himself.

He examined it several times and found no wounds on his wife's body, not even a hole the size of a pinprick. And there is no poison or disease, she is as calm and serene as a sleeping person, but she can't wake up.

Siegel had a theory, or perhaps the greatest expectation in his heart: the reincarnation ritual was completed, and Janet left her original body at that moment to reshape the bloodline. So her body is indeed dead, but she should still be alive somewhere, in some form.

The biggest evidence of this is that Janet is currently ...... Physical Condition: She is still human, and has not reverted back to a demon. If it were a normal death, all the transformation effects would be lifted, and she shouldn't be like this.

But he also knew that there was little hope that Janet would still be alive. The scene of the reincarnation ceremony was being slaughtered, and even the half-elf mage Edith was caught off guard and had to flee back in embarrassment. If Janet had been reincarnated in that situation, would she have been spared?

The Man in Black, the sudden appearance, the serpentine dagger, the ability to pierce magical shields, and the Holy Force effect, these traits are firmly in Siegel's memory. He sat motionless on the edge of the bed, guarding Janet, suppressing the anger in his heart.

Everything else in the room had suffered, and the magical energy around him had become disorganized by his mood, wreaking havoc on the walls, furniture, and various accessories. Copper mirrors and silver plates all melted in the heat, red wine froze in glass bottles, and lightning jumped up and down the rooftops, burning black streaks. Fortunately, it did not cause a fire.

Because of the violent fluctuations in magical energy. Visions are constantly appearing in the air. In some places, tiny elemental creatures have even been summoned. Their lives are very short and fragile, and they usually dissipate after a few jumps. There was a constant stream of muffled explosions coming from the room, mingling with the sound of thunderstorms. Everyone in Myr trembled, and avoided the lord's chambers far away.

Only Manna dared to knock on the door of the room.

Siegel clenched his fists hard, and the elements in the room obediently quieted down. The door had been burned by the acid, and Mana had fallen off the door frame with a slight touch.

"The troops are being assembled, and all the knights have already begun to mobilize. Manna was soaking wet, and her armor was dripping with water. A puddle on the ground. She wiped her face, but couldn't soothe her frowning brow: "According to your order, the entire Heim Territory can gather a total of three thousand soldiers, plus about one thousand fifteen hundred logistics personnel." But in this way, all the men in the territory are basically in the army......"

"What's going on with the elves?" Siegel asked in a hoarse voice.

"Scouts have been dispatched, but they haven't come back yet, so the intel is the same as before: the elves haven't done anything. ”

Manna saw that Siegel's eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and his skin was tarnished. As he spoke, he still grabbed Janet's hand. Even if that little hand had become cold. But it still seems to be a huge attraction for lords.

She wanted to cry with emotion, but also with jealousy and hatred. Still angry and annoyed. I remember that during the day, Siegel had just said that he could not have a field decisive battle with the elves for the time being, but now he gave the order to mobilize all of them. Anger is a very dangerous sign, and it is difficult for the god of warriors to bring down blessings in such situations.

She was about to speak to persuade her, but she saw Siegel stand up, and her hands, which had cast countless spells on the battlefield, trembled violently, flashing several times in a row, and failed to complete a spell.

Siegel grabbed the wooden bench he had just sat down on and smashed it to pieces on the ground. He clapped his hands vigorously, then his face, and recited the incantation.

A blue-gray light shrouded Janet's body, slowly seeping in. Siegel seemed to have been drained of his strength again, his shoulders swayed, and he stumbled a little under his feet.

Manna couldn't read the spell and didn't know what was happening. What Siegel had just performed was embalming of corpses, which could only be applied to corpses. Some of the world's spells - such as Soul Imprisonment, Spirit Sucking, Astral Projection, etc. - can temporarily drain a person's soul and put the body into a state of suspended animation, but such a body cannot be affected by embalming spells. Now it seems that unless Janet is able to successfully reincarnate, there is no chance of survival.

"Our goal is the Elven Forest, which means to break through the elves besieging the Hub Fort, and then continue north. Siegel said, "Four thousand five hundred, that's enough." ”

Janet bit her lip, and then persuaded, "Your lord, you can't send troops. This expedition will ruin the Heim Territory, and ruin it all. ”

Siegel said coldly: "I can take you diagonally through the city wall mountain range, go to the black blood castle and fight the orcs, and I can also take you to the elven forest." The elven army in front of us was no more than four thousand. ”

"It's not a matter of numbers!" Manna said suddenly, "Take all the soldiers away, what will happen to the city of Myr? Who will defend against the elves, and who will be able to fight with you when the elves take over this place?"

Siegel spread out his left hand, and a red ball of light popped out of his palm. The ball of light pulsates as if it were alive to the rhythm of the heartbeat. Manna didn't know much magic, but just by looking at it, she felt that the ball of light was very dangerous.

"When I let the army advance, no one will retreat, and no one will rise to the idea. Siegel shook his hand, undoing the magic of the Knox Guild. Controlling emotions and influencing behavior can be used for a variety of purposes, and with powerful spells, even the most ordinary humans can be as powerful as berserkers. Knox has a variety of directions in his research, and Siegel didn't want to use them before, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to use them.

"Use the power of magic to advance the army?" Manna blurted out, "Just for Janet, you don't even want morality and honor?"

Siegel couldn't take it anymore. "I'm your lord!" he said, putting his arm around Mana's neck and slamming her against the wall. The dagger condensed with black flames pointed at her eyes, and the pale golden hair on her forehead sizzled and scorched.

"I never ask for much. I just want to learn magic. Help others when you can. When you have free time, you can explore and see the mysteries of the world. Again and again, I can't fulfill these wishes!" Siegel gasped and said angrily: "Even if the danger is put on me, it is only a test of fate, but why should I look for Janet? Why? She is innocently involved in a conspiracy, and is forced to escape the curse only by death, but she is not even given this opportunity? Elf, Black-Clad Killer, Elf, Black-Clad Killer." I'm not going to let go of any of them!"

Mana was so clutched in her throat that she couldn't breathe at all, but she didn't resist or struggle, just left tears. A tear dripped onto the Black Flame Dagger, instantly turning into steam.

Siegel let go of his hand slightly, and Manna was finally able to speak. "If fate is not fair to her, is it fair to the others, is it fair to the soldiers who are assembled outside, ...... to me" She closed her eyes, leaned her head back against the wall, and said to Siegel, "If you don't want to stab me, use that magic on me first." At least I don't have to worry about the aftermath anymore. Only know to move forward. ”

"You don't understand magic. Siegel gasped.

"I don't need to know magic!" Manna said, "Look at yourself. Siegel, I don't need to know magic. ”

Siegel let go of his hand, and the flaming dagger vanished. He said to Mana, "Gather your troops according to my orders!"

He stubbornly pushed the female knight away and returned to Janet. She still lay quietly on the bed, not saying anything. Maybe she won't say anything more, maybe......

Look at yourself, Siegel resounded in his head what Manna had just said. Originally, the bedroom had a mirror, but now all he could find was a lump of molten silver, like piles of wax. He picked up the silver nugget and recited the mantra of the restoration, smoothing it out again, and saw himself in it.

Loose hair, red eyes, pale and dry lips, distorted faces. He wanted to laugh at himself, but found that his smile was strange and dangerous, and he exuded a crazy look everywhere.

Like that crazy dwarf mage in Makabuda.

The rain was pouring and the thunder was roaring, but the sound of the army gathering could still be heard outside the castle window. The quartermaster was handing out weapons and armor to the soldiers in line, and everyone was trying to get dressed under the light of lanterns. Many people still don't know why they are gathering on this dark rainy night, and they don't know where they are going. But they trusted their lord and believed that he would always bring victory.

Siegel sheds a tear in the mirror and transforms himself into a skeleton. In the vision of the undead, Janet lying on the bed appeared gray-black, not the bright white state of a living creature. It's a ruthless and brutal truth, and it's clear to Siegel. But even abandoning emotional swings and thinking in the most rational state, Siegel insisted that Janet was still alive.

But he was finally able to calm his impulses and think about it.

As the minutes ticked by, the rain gradually stopped, and the sky began to brighten. The soldiers, heavily armed, hid in roof-protected areas according to the instructions of Lord Manadai, drying their bodies while waiting for orders. Freshly baked bread is not always enough, but fortunately there are other grains. The kitchen urgently prepared a large pot of potato root soup, and each person was given a large spoonful, which could not only cushion the stomach, but also not affect the state of the subsequent march.

Through various channels, the knights already knew about Janet basically. After all, after teleporting, Edith and Janet appeared in the middle of the courtyard, and many soldiers saw the scene. The Lord's Lady has spent much more time in Myr than the official lord of Siegel, and she has always been loved for her ability to entertain knights with an aristocratic air and to care for ordinary residents in an approachable manner. The knights guessed that this assembly was to avenge the lord's wife, and they were naturally high-spirited.

Manna knew everything, but she wiped away her tears, and when she returned to the courtyard, she didn't say anything, still organizing everything in an orderly manner. Of all the people, only Fezak saw the clue, but the one-eyed old man could only sigh and ask the servants to carry him to the gate of the castle courtyard, where Siegel would pass when he came down. He was draped in a blanket over his pajamas, holding a cane, and sitting on a wooden stool. The old man waved his hand and told all the servants to get out of the way, and there were some things he had to say to Siegel alone.

If Siegel calmly walked down the stairs, then he could still persuade him to wait here. If he teleported directly to the army through the window, no one could stop him. Fezak was not optimistic about such a desperate military operation, and could not help but worry about the future of Heim Territory. He knew what it was like for people to be trapped in pain, anger, and hatred, and hoped that Siegel would at least find a shred of sanity, otherwise his persuasion would be of no use.

He looked at the stairs and prayed that Siegel would appear there. (To be continued.) )
