"Which god are you a believer in?" Siegel asked.

"Don't try to get information from me, you lackey of the system, ruler of power!" said the man, spitting blood and foaming at the ground, with half of his teeth broken.

Siegel gathered the power of the elements in his hand and threatened him, "It's useless to keep your mouth shut, the power of magic can always let me know what I want to know!"

"Your pathetic magic won't always save your life, save it. I'm not going to tell you!"

"I just need to scold one god after another, and I will always find your faith. Siegel faked a vicious smile. 、

"I can't ask for it. The man laughed: "Your childish behavior will only make the future revenge stronger." ”

Siegel stared at him a few times, then put away his smile and became serious again. "Believers in the God of Murder, that's right. ”

The man's laughter stopped abruptly and he looked at Siegel with an incredulous gaze.

The mage dismounted from his horse, pulled out an obsidian dagger, and drew the emblem of the god of murder on the ground. Then, he stabbed the serpentine dagger into the center of the emblem, twisting it vigorously. The captive struggled angrily, trying to pounce like a mad wild dog. His hands and feet were tied, but he still tried to bite Siegel with his teeth. Hum stomped his back, immobilizing him.

"For believers in the God of Murder, death is nothing. "Chop off his limbs, knock out his teeth, put him in a prison cell, let him live a slow life, and reflect on it," Siegel said. ”

"Okay!" Hum grabbed the man by the neck. Prepare to lift him off the ground.

"Strength in the end!" the man shouted. Killed himself by biting his tongue.

Siegel snorted coldly. He expected such an outcome. "Remember, these guys are never afraid of death, nor are they stingy with the use of lewd means, they have no honor and fairness. Cheer up, don't be deceived by them, they don't even care for their lives, and they won't pity you!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Hum called in the soldiers and dragged the body of the tongue biter away. Burn it off with fire. This person didn't even wear black clothes, and it was probably just a small character.

The god of murder lives in various folk tales, and unlike other gods, he has never sent a saint to the mortal world. The Mage Guild believes that this is a sign of the lack of divine power of the god of murder, after all, his ideas are not mainstream, resulting in few followers. Even in the hearts of assassins who kill for a living, the god of murder is not as important as money, and only in the hearts of those madmen who take killing as a pleasure and pursuit, will the power to worship the god of murder really arise.

Contempt for order, contempt for magic, sacrifice for the sake of killing, just to pursue that feeling of destruction. It's a collection of gangsters, conspirators, and killers. But when did they have that power?

What is the ability to jump out of the shadows? and break through the rune trees of the Elven Forest and go all the way deep into the Druid Forest? Siegel knows that there is a spell called "Shadow Magic" circulating among mages. It allows people to move quickly in the shadow world, penetrating all physical obstacles, and this spell requires shadows as an exit and entrance. However, Shadow Movement involves a higher level of spell-casting skill and plane knowledge than teleportation, which even Siegel does not have at the moment.

Therefore, the power of the shadow can only come from the interference of the gods in the present world, and the remnants of the holy power on the bodies of those assassins seem to indicate this. This goes back to the question I just asked: why did the power of the god of murder grow so quickly? Because of the priesthood, most of the gods did not like the god of murder, especially the gods of the race and the powerful gods who were in the realm of protection and life. Maybe killing one or two people, or even provoking a war, the other gods will turn a blind eye, but rushing directly to the elven forest to kill, this will undoubtedly offend the moon god.

Siegel rode on his horse and looked at the elf across from him with a serious, cold gaze. They should have felt the pressure of the moon gods, after all, homeland, clan, and art (magic) were the things that the elves valued most compared to the territory they could gain in war. If you can't even protect your home, you will inevitably be punished by the moon god.

Leah is still trying to convince her people, but it doesn't seem to be working out well. Judging by their expressions, the druids vehemently opposed, the mages sided with Leah, and the priests of the Luna Temple constantly looked at the human army with suspicion. They seemed to sense Siegel's gaze, and with a wave of his hand, the elven mage used a spell to block all attempts at prying eyes.

Manna commanded the mount to slowly come to Siegel's side, and said in a low voice, "Lord Lord, the reserve is here, and it has reached twenty miles to the west. Do you need to make any arrangements, do you want to take the opportunity to flank the elves?"

"Let them come over with great fanfare and make it look like there are two thousand. "Then line up on the north side of the battlefield and prepare for defense," Siegel said. ”

"Defense?" Manna asked, confused.

"You heard you right. Siegel said, "The elves are very proud, and they are not afraid of our attacks, because they look down on the offensive capabilities of other races. So the offensive posture will make them hot-headed and lose their cool thinking. The defensive stance will satisfy their imagination and make them more reasonable. ”

He tilted his head and said to Mana, "Isn't that what you said, be sensible?"

The female knight blinked her eyes and said categorically, "I'm going to arrange the battle formation, Lord Lord!"

Elves and humans confront each other up and down the hills, and neither side will show weakness. It's a battle of wills, and it seems to be more important than a life-and-death struggle. All the knights of the Heim Command dismounted and stood with the soldiers. Except for the sound of the wind and the humming of their mounts, both sides remained silent.

More than two hours later, neat footsteps could be heard from the north, and reinforcements led by Heim arrived on the battlefield. They beat their shields rhythmically with their spears, making a rattling sound that was more inspiring than the drumbeat of a march.

After their arrival, they greatly extended the length and thickness of the Heim Territory's battle line, and had a huge advantage in terms of troops. Reinforcements were accompanied by carts requisitioned from caravans, carrying battlefield supplies and tools for building camps. On Mana's orders, reinforcements quickly built barriers with these tools to limit the battlefield. and began to create a simple shield wall for crossbow shooters.

The elves saw this. I finally made up my mind. Manna led the priest of the Moon Temple to the center of the battlefield. The flag of the talks was raised.

"Mana, you can't go this time. Siegel said to her, "Keep commanding, lest the elves do their brains crooked." ”

The female knight nodded in agreement, but it was even more unsafe to let the lord go alone. Hum pointed at himself and let out an excited laugh.

"I know what you're thinking, Humm, but not yours this time. Siegel smiled and said, "The last thing the elves want to surrender to is the orcs. I know you're not an orc, only half blood. But don't irritate their fragile minds. Sir Griner, come with me. Your family has a long history, would you like to add a deed of the Descended Elves?"

"Always at your service, my lord. ”

The priest Siegel, who accompanied Master Leah, had also met Syrah Gil, a fickle female elf.

"In the current environment, let's talk straight to the point, and stop using temptation and other means. Siegel said to the elven priest, "If you draw your sword and point it at me again, I'm afraid there will be only one way to go to war." ”

The Elven Priest nodded, his voice soft and steady. "Lord Siegel. I have the same hope. In order to be able to fulfill the instructions of the moon god, we agreed to make concessions. ”

"Let's be practical. Siegel said, "I've already made my request. How are you negotiating?"

Leah glanced at Priest Ciala Rose, who nodded before she said, "We are just an army of elves, and all agreements are limited to the Heim Territory and the Southwest Legion. We can't represent the Elven Forest, and you can't represent the humans of the New World, do you agree?"

"That's what it is. Siegel nodded.

"Because of the common threat, the elves are willing to assist Lord Siegel in investigating the attack on Madame Zun. In order to build trust between the two sides, and also to prevent the enemy from plotting, the Elven Legion will send three hundred soldiers to the Heim Territory to establish a defense system under the command of the Haim Lord, until the Lord of Siegel returns to the city of Myr. ”

Siegel frowned, the elf's rhetorical skills were beyond his imagination. Sir Griner coughed violently and struck his fist his chest, and finally regained his strength. He pressed his chest and explained, "I'm sorry, it's hot, I choked." ”

"Four hundred," Siegel said, "as the only mage lord in the New World, four hundred is barely enough. And there can be no caster among these four hundred. It's okay to be a Ranger who can heal simply, the Priest, Druid, and Mage are too threatening. ”

"Yes. The elf nodded in agreement.

"Don't forget that there's one more important point. Siegel said, "Except for the four hundred men under my care, the elves leave the Heim Territory. I'm going to take back my castle, my country, my river, and my farmland. ”

"Lord Siegel, your Heim Territory is huge, how will our elven companions in the south pass through?"

"Don't unsheath your weapons, then they'll be free to pass through. Siegel said. "If the elves still want to start a war in the Heim territory, count the death toll from four hundred. ”

"You!" Pastor Cirague frowned, but held back his words and actions. Elf Lea said: "In principle, we will leave four hundred people behind, and then we will be on the road. ”

Looking at the angry appearance of the elven priest, Siegel shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry to go, there are two more things. ”

"My lord, do you want to break your word?"

"No, I'm just kindly reminding you. Siegel smiled and said, "We don't have a priest of the moon god in Heim, and if you leave a crippled or sick elf, I am afraid that you will not be able to cure it." I'll try to prepare food for them as much as I can, but it's certainly not up to the standard of entertaining elven guests, so ask the elven forest to send some over. Rest assured, we'll buy it at the market price – but if it's too expensive to afford, there's no way to do it. ”

The elven priest pinched the corners of his coat and gritted his teeth secretly. The Moon Divine Emblem emitted a soft glow, and she calmed down.

"One last thing, your rhetoric is fine, but limit this statement to the realm of elves. Siegel sank his face and said with great seriousness: "Before the Elven Forest officially announced the end of the war and peace negotiations, you and I were still hostile. There is only one identity that can guarantee the safety of four hundred elves, and that is prisoners of war. ”

Leah closed her eyes, reluctantly accepting the fact. Priest Cirague touched the emblem with his hand, relying on the strength it provided to support himself, and then asked, "We have the testimony of the moon god and can guarantee the obedience to the agreement." What about you Heim Collar?"

"My commitment and my honor. Siegel said, "That's enough. (To be continued.) )
