Volume II, Chapter 80

"Hey...... It's nerve-wracking. The golden-robed chief priest leaned back on the back of the chair: "You old fellow, you always give me problems." ”

"If you win the next war between gods and demons, you will have a lot of benefits, why are you still like this?" Verlaine said, "Could it be that you priests have already chosen someone in their minds?"

"Worthy of a marshal...... We do have one or two candidates. The chief priest told the truth: "Don't stare at me with your eyes, after all, we belong to two factions. ”

"It's not difficult to decide this matter, you just say it's okay!" Even if it was such a huge deal, Verlaine was straightforward when he spoke: "It's annoying to deal with you Demon Temple officials. ”

"Yes, I promise!" said the priest, "is it all right, I will do everything I can to help you with this, but there are a few things that you must not disagree with me. ”

"No problem!" said Verlaine, "deal!"

A marshal and a golden-robed chief priest, these two guys are important figures in the Demon Alliance, and when the two of them finish their oaths, the biggest deal in the next twenty years of the Demon Alliance will be completed.

"Undo your bullshit magic. When the business was done, Verlaine regained his nature: "Is the priest great?"

The two men had led their respective factions to fight openly and secretly for decades, and it was rare that there was a compromise today, and the golden-robed priest would not put up a stand in front of Verlon, and then removed the magic.

"Major General Sves!" shouted the marshal into the next room, "where's our wine?"

"Yes, Marshal. Sves, who had been waiting for an order, came over with a tray.

"Cheers to cooperation!" the marshal and the chief priest drank all the good wine in their cups.

"Sves. Major General Hepburn!" Verlaine put down his glass. He said in a stiff tone: "Do you know how many mistakes you made in the military department?"

"Your Excellency...... I don't know!"

It happened suddenly. Major General Sveis had no idea what Marshal Verlaine was talking about. However, the chief priest of the golden robe understands that the plan for the promotion and training of the marshal has begun, and the first step in this plan is to suppress it first.

"Can a person who doesn't even know the mistakes he has made stay in the military headquarters?" Verlaine did not give any explanation: "Take off your major general's uniform immediately, leave the military headquarters and go home to reflect!"

"But ......"

"You're not a member of the coalition now, it's an order!"

"Yes...... Marshal, I'll ......" Svis, though confused, had to leave dejectedly.

"Did you see his expression?" After reading this, the golden-robed priest said leisurely, "That is really a heartbreaking expression...... I almost told the truth. ”

"You're a priest. It is not appropriate to speak like this. Verlaine was very dissatisfied, and he often saw Major General Sweez, who felt that the words of the chief priest were too frivolous.

But this is really no wonder the chief priest, the chief priest is the first time to see Major General Sveis himself, and it is very rare to not have mild dementia.

"Then again," the chief priest who had been taught by the marshal blushed, coughed lightly, and said, "Is there no other way to get this major general to leave the military headquarters?"

"If he is not allowed to leave immediately, with his outstanding performance in this war, his promotion to lieutenant general can be regarded as a grievance by the coalition forces. Verlaine said: "This step cannot be taken now, as soon as he becomes a lieutenant general, he will immediately become a thorn in the side of others!"

Silent for a long time...... The marshal and the chief priest of the golden robe were together and sighed about the power of "power".

Both of these old rivals are figures at the pinnacle of power. Positions and titles are all unpromotable, and I am naturally deeply touched by the temptations and filths of power.

"That's right. What are you here for?" asked Verlaine after a long time.

"Of course, I'm not a person with too much energy. The chief priest of the golden robe said: "The war between gods and demons is over, the commanders of your main battle legions and the main generals of the military headquarters are going to Hell Island, and the Dark Demon Lord wants to summon you, I need your exact number and position to make arrangements." ”

"No problem, except for a few legions in the second theater that are doing some finishing work, the commanders of the other main battle legions are on their way here. ”

"Finishing touches...... Ahh The chief priest of the golden robe understood: "I hope for a qiēshun lì!"

"Pretty smooth, it's been five days since they've swept that pile of bed bugs together. Verlaine stood up and said slowly, "It's just some finishing touches. Since the moment the Divine Alliance signed the Defeat Peace Treaty, there has been no war on the dividing line between gods and demons!"

"Yes......" Remembering his bulging purse, the chief priest nodded in agreement, "There is no more fighting." ”

Paradise Island, at the foot of the Holy Mountain of Light.

Similar to the golden-robed priest of the Dark Demon Temple, the red-clothed chief priest of the Temple of Light also ran to the master to return the news, although it happened on the same day, but the words of the red-clothed chief priest were a little too heavy, because ...... The Divine Coalition has been defeated!

The red-clothed chief priest who had just finished speaking was kneeling on the platform in front of the jade staircase in panic, because the red-clothed left priest and the red-clothed right priest were commanding the battle at the headquarters of the coalition army, and he was the only one here to support the scene.

And Princess Charlotte of the Protoss stood directly in front of him, and David, the god of war, was also standing behind the princess.

The expression on Princess Charlotte's face seemed to be so calm and elegant forever, as if no matter what happened, her expression could not be changed.

But David, the god of war, did not have such a good cultivation as her, and the two big eyes had already spewed out fire, if it weren't for the princess here, the red-clothed chief priest who was soft into a pile would probably have been torn to pieces by him.

The god of war could not tolerate the news of the defeat of the Divine Alliance.

It's no wonder that the God of War is angry, because this is the second time in a row that the God Alliance has been defeated in the War of Gods and Demons, if he is defeated again next time, how can he be the God of War?

"Speaking of which," Charlotte's words finally broke the dull atmosphere that had almost suffocated the Cardinal Priest, "You have signed a peace treaty of defeat?"

"Yes, sir...... We have no choice. ”

"This is the first time that the Temple has been in charge of all the affairs of the coalition, before that. Didn't you promise the Protoss that there would be no accidents, and that even the Protoss of the Overseer Army didn't need you to win. Charlotte then asked, "But in the blink of an eye." But you came to us and said that you were defeated. ”

"My lord's mercy ......" the red-clothed chief priest slammed his head on the jade and "collapsed": "The counterattack of the demon alliance is really powerful. These devils have hidden a large number of elite troops, and when we finally found out, their total number of troops was over one and a half million......"

"One and a half million will fail?" Charlotte asked, "Who said in the impeachment of Prince Ulysses that even if the army of the Demon Alliance was doubled, it would be certain to win!? Who said that apart from the royal bloodline, all secular officials did not have the strength of the glorious title of Blessed Knight?"

"Your Excellency, be gracious!" Hearing the Haikou he had boasted before, the red-clothed chief priest almost collapsed on the ground: "The defeat in this battle is due to the conspiracy of the demon alliance on the one hand, and the divine blessing knight Cohen on the other hand. Al Kaida was stubborn and self-serving, ignoring the orders of the military headquarters to go deep behind enemy lines...... In order to rescue the Ninth Legion trapped in the Demon Alliance's Camp Empire. For the safety of these 10 main battle corps and for the victory of the next major battle, we had to sign a peace treaty ...... defeat."

"Shut up!" David, the god of war, interrupted the defense of the Red Priest with his cold words, "Who would use ten main battle legions to save a slave legion?"

The corners of the Red Priest's mouth twitched twice, and he said with difficulty: "...... After more than a year of careful training and cultivation by the coalition forces and the temple, the combat power of the Ninth Legion has been greatly improved before the war, and it has become a main battle legion with excellent equipment and soldiers. Before the Blessed Knight attacked, a legion of 70,000 men alone could contain the entire army of the Fifth War Zone of the Demon Alliance...... Or that's it, Cohen. His Excellency Al Qaida would have taken the liberty of attacking, after all, he was still a young man under twenty years old. It's easy to be complacent......"

"He's a young man under twenty years old, and the ten commanders of your main battle legions who went to save him can't be also twenty-year-olds, right? Ten main battle legions are almost half of the strength of the coalition army. If the Demon Coalition wants to encircle these nearly 600,000 people, it needs at least 1 million troops! There will be no war on the entire demarcation line? Will they squeeze more than a million troops into a pile to play with you?" The god of war David refuted mercilessly: "You actually let these 600,000 people be completely surrounded, ordinary idiots will never be able to do this!"

"Your Excellency, be graciousβ€”"

"David, don't say any more. Charlotte stopped the god of war's questioning, and then said to the Chief Priest in Cardinal, "Then the Ninth Legion and their commander Cohen." What about Al Qaeda?"

"By the time the Legion arrived for the rescue, the entire army of the Ninth Legion had been annihilated in the territory of Kamp, God Bless Knight Cohen. Al Qaeda's whereabouts are unknown...... Later, because of the signing of the peace treaty of defeat, the whole army withdrew from the dividing line between gods and demons, and could no longer look for the blessed knight Cohen. Al Qaeda's whereabouts...... At the moment, there is no war on the dividing line between gods and demons. ”

"Got it, go down!" said Charlotte, "of course there will be punishment after defeat, and there will be results after the gods have consulted." ”

"Yes, sir...... Farewell ...... "The red-clothed chief priest didn't dare to raise his head, and knelt all the way down the platform.

"Your Highness Princess, the priest is obviously lying......"

"I know......" said Charlotte, "David, let me be quiet for a while!"

Since Princess Charlotte said so, the god of war had no choice but to leave.

Princess Charlotte stood on the platform and muttered for a moment, then turned and walked towards Princess Lirita's palace.

Princess Lirita was in her room in her palace, sitting in her chair with a blank face, her eyes staring out the window. She is rarely in the mood to calm down and look at the scenery.

"Sister......" Charlotte walked up behind her, and stopped talking.

"Let's talk about it!" Lirita retracted her gaze, "What is it important that you need to come in person?"

"That's right, the army of the Divine Alliance has been defeated again. ”

"If you are defeated, you will be defeated! Lirita said softly: "There are hundreds of wars fought once in twenty years, what does it matter if you lose once or twice?"

"This time it's a little different......"

"Different?" said Lirita, "yes, this is the first time that the temple you run has full control over the military headquarters, and you are looking forward to victory." ”

"Not so," Charlotte said, turning into her sister's back. There was a trace of uneasiness in my heart: "The Ninth Army of the Coalition Army has been surrounded and annihilated. Their commander...... Ahh

Princess Charlotte exclaimed in surprise and could not say any more. Because her sister, Princess Lirita, had turned around and was looking at her with cold eyes.

"How's their commander?"

"He, whereabouts unknown......" Charlotte said with her head bowed, she had never been able to face her sister's eyes calmly.

β€œ...... I know you were reluctant to ask you to give him the title of Blessed Knight. I also know that, compared to others. Cohen. Al Qaida is not likable to you. Lirita shook her head slowly and stood up from her chair, "But I don't know how dare you do this." ”

"Sister...... Not me. ”

"Isn't the Temple of Light thriving under your stewardship?Isn't the status of a cardinal priest already higher than that of a secular king?, then, what are you not satisfied with?" Lirita took a step closer: "It's dissatisfied with Cohen. Al Kaida didn't say anything to you, or is he dissatisfied that my eyes are higher than you?"

"I ......" Charlotte was almost speechless in the face of the pressing: "Actually, I ...... I didn't know beforehand. ”

"Without your instruction and connivance, the Cardinal Priest would dare to tell such a lie?How dare the Coalition War Department use the Ninth Legion as a scapegoat?" Lirita took a step closer, although her voice was not loud, but her words were very sharp: "Without your order, David, who was supervising the war at the Coalition Military Headquarters, would have left? ”

Princess Charlotte tilted her head to the side.

"Cohen, exactly. Something about Al Qaeda offended you. Why do you think so much of him?" Lirita stood beside Charlotte and stared at her face, "Why do you have to let this human die?"

"Yes, I'm not as good as you! I can't compare to you, my eyes, my mind, and my way of doing things......" Charlotte was silent for a moment. Suddenly raised his head and met his sister's eyes: "But I...... I'm the one who can make your chosen ones die a tragic death. Yes, I didn't debunk the Temple's lies, and the Cardinal Priests understood that I hated Cohen. Al Qaeda, with defeat a foregone conclusion, I'm glad they thought of using Cohen. Kaida came to take the blame. ”

"That's exactly ......"

"And what about you, my dear sister, who have been chosen by your brilliant vision? Kaida, if he hadn't been crushed by the Demon Alliance...... He will definitely kneel in front of the demon princess and wait to be turned into a killing demon. Charlotte said hatefully: "If it is the latter, then this human who once walked side by side with you will not only kiss the toes of the demon princess religiously in the future, but also die at your hands......! Isn't it your job to hunt down the Killing Demons of each generation?"

"Do you really think so?"

"Yes, I don't know what you like about him!" said Charlotte, "do you want to save him now? ”

"You're so stupid," Lirita's cold gaze remained, "I pity you." ”

"You!"

"What do you think I like about him? Do you think I'm here to keep a pet, or do you think I think I'm a lover and want to kill him to make me sad?" Lirita looked at her sister's eyes, and she had unconsciously become full of pity: "Then I'll tell you, among the past generations of killing demons, the first generation of killing demons is the most powerful." And Cohen. Kaida is a person whose mind is higher than that of the first generation of Killing Demons, and his personality is more arrogant than that of the first generation of Killing Demons. If you give him the most freedom, as I think, then Cohen, who is not restricted by secular etiquette, will be a sharp sword against the demons. ”

"And you, I am a smart sister, but you can't wait to push him to the demon clan with your actions...... I hope he is dead, otherwise, this new demon of slaughter will be your nightmare!It will also be the nightmare of the entire Protoss!" Lirita looked at Charlotte's eyes and became extremely contemptuous: "You can bear the result yourself! This is your own doing, you have to face it bravely." ”

"Sister, don't scare me. Charlotte said, "A tiny human doesn't have such abilities!"

"Whether you have the ability or not, it's not up to you to say it. However, don't worry, I'm a princess of the Protoss after all, and I won't save him. But...... If one day he finds you, I will also stand by and watch. Lirita sat down again: "That's it, you go!"

"Good. Then I'll take my leave. Her Royal Highness Princess Lirita!"

Princess Charlotte turned and walked out the door.

Divine Alliance. The border city of the Porta Empire, Landis, is the headquarters of the Coalition Army.

This military headquarters was newly built before the Great War of Gods and Demons, and when it was originally designed, in order to accommodate the crowd celebrating the victory in the future, such a huge, magnificent, and extremely solemn square was specially designed.

At the moment, there is neither a celebratory crowd nor a festive atmosphere in this square...... Some were just officers running by, wearing coalition uniforms. There were also the white-clad priests who burned papers in the corners, and the large dark clouds over the square.

Because, the gods belong to the coalition army...... Defeated.

If the war is defeated, it is natural that many people will be unlucky. Therefore, in the current military department, from the high-ranking generals to the small soldiers who guard the gates, everyone is thinking about how to survive these few days carefully.

In Karl. After Prince Ulysses was stripped of his position as commander-in-chief of the coalition, the Red-Clad Left and Red-clad Right Priests took over him at the helm of the entire Divine Alliance, which was one of the main reasons for the failure of the Divine Alliance.

It turned out that the appointment of a temple official as a military commander was a foolish idea in itself.

In the room of the Supreme Commander of the Divine Alliance. The red-robed left priest and the red-robed right priest were sitting upright in front of the large desk, two pairs of eyes staring at a letterhead on the table in a daze.

The letterhead was sent by the Chief Priest of the Red Cloth. The above content is naturally the various reactions of the Light Protoss to the defeat of the coalition forces.

"We were right, Princess Charlotte hated Cohen in her heart. Al Qaeda's. "Princess Charlotte has not revealed our words, how merciful my lord." ”

"But we put all the blame for the defeat on Cohen. Kaida, can you hide this from the other gods?" said the right priest worriedly, "What if the god of war or other gods stand up and accuse us?"

"Accusations are accusations, we can push it!" Zuo Priest said: "The Temple of Light has always been directly managed by Princess Charlotte, and all our affairs have also passed through Princess Charlotte, as long as this princess does not embarrass us, of course the other gods will not be able to ask, and we will be halfway through this level." ”

"Talent...... It's only halfway through!"

"The remaining half ......," Zuo Priest said, "but you can't let people put this matter on the table, if anyone comes out to make trouble, then the other gods will have to stand up and uphold justice...... If we let the other Protoss find out the truth, we'll be in trouble. ”

"I said earlier that this is not appropriate...... "As soon as the right priest heard that there was trouble, he immediately wanted to retreat: "It was you who insisted on ...... the Ninth Legion"

"My Right Priest, do you want me to remind you again? Now is not the time to say who is right and who is wrong! The three red-clothed priests are one, one person is on a business trip, everyone is done!" As soon as he heard that the right priest wanted to shirk his responsibility, the left priest immediately slapped the table: "Yes, it was my idea to betray the Ninth Legion, but it was the order of the chief priest to rescue the ten besieged legions, don't you also have your family inside? Don't forget the order of 10,000 troops to block the exit of the Grand Canyon, but you gave it!"

"Got it......" The right priest drooped his face: "But what now? If someone has to make a fuss about this, don't we want to finish it all?"

"Isn't this discussing with you?" said Zuo Sai, "Don't worry too much, not just anyone can make a fuss about this...... With the exception of a few emperors, the others were not qualified. ”

"Then we'll have to prepare," said the right priest, "and make a list of those who might be at odds with us." ”

"Emperors of other countries...... I don't think it's very likely that they will make trouble," Zuo said, "After all, few people dare to fight against our Temple of Light, and besides, aren't the ten main battle legions rescued by every empire have a share? ”

"Although you have a point...... But we also have to guard against it!" The right priest turned his brain: "In this way, we immediately sent henchmen to contact these emperors, explain the benefits and disadvantages to them, and let them die of this heart as soon as possible!"

"That's what I'm worried about, the emperors of other countries are easy to handle, and the biggest problem is in the Sbia Empire. The Left Priest sighed: "Lord Right, think about it, Commander of the Ninth Legion, Cohen. Kaida is a nobleman of the Sbia Empire, has a close relationship with the royal family, and is the only blessed knight of the Sbia Empire. With these two points alone, the emperor of Sbia will make trouble to the end...... Our good days are coming to an end. ”

"The emperor of Spia should be Kremer. Let's give him benefits, can't we give him a lot of benefits, and let him forget about this Cohen. Al Qaeda ......"

"How easy is that...... Right Priest, Cohen. Kaida is a Divine Blessed Knight, he is not of royal blood, and this title of Divine Blessed Knight can be maintained for life! This can be said to be a trump card of the Sibian Empire. Zuo said, "Now we have lost this trump card...... If it were you, would you be able to swallow that?"

"That ......"

"I don't want a good way to get out yet!"

"Good ......" (to be continued......
