In the snowstorm, before dawn, the dark orc army marched out, with countless strong warriors wearing shabby armor.
The behemoth Behemoth awakened the sleeping plateau with the sound of its footsteps. The wolf cavalry began cruising in the dark at the call of war drums. The sky knights who were the first to return from hunting brought back the heads of human spies... all of the above.
Impossible!
According to the original plan, the orc army should have set off long ago, but unfortunately, there was a little "accident".
"Get out of here! I want top-quality cosmetics from Night City Staff. Do you think you can fool me with such low-quality products? Believe it or not, I will burn down your entire camp."
"My lord, please calm down! My lord, please calm down! This is the highest-grade elven spring water. It can restore youthful vitality. It is definitely much better than the inferior artificial alchemy products of humans!"
"I don't care! If you want me to contribute, just fulfill my request."
The dimensional door leading to the abyss closed, and the fire on the Ring dissipated. The will of the Demon Marquise had left. Looking at the ashes on the ground, the witch Kamala shook her head helplessly, and slowly put down the Ring.
Exit the tent.
And she had just gone out, but there were already crowds of people outside. These big bosses from various tribes now looked worried about gains and losses, like candidates waiting for their results to be announced. Judging from their sad faces, they were probably still...
Even if they are self-aware, few think that the future will be good.
And sure enough, when the witch gently shook her head at the chiefs, she was greeted by a helpless sigh.
"It's too difficult to deal with. Last time, we thought the orc war songs were too noisy, so we asked us to find a ditty singer. We found the sparrow shaman singer and bard who are the best at singing. It was obvious that both parties collaborated. The song was so pleasant.
The soul hymn ensemble. But the demon said that they were singing country folk songs. He also said that they were out of tune. The proud soul singers were so angry that they planned to rush to the gate of the abyss to fight her. It took me a lot of effort to appease her.
."
"What's this? She was called a tormenter just two days ago. She actually said she wanted to eat ruby fruit, a specialty in the west of the mainland. I said she didn't have it, and she almost killed me. And, don't you have dragon knights? A few of them were exhausted.
If so, you should be able to buy it back. At least I didn’t ask you to buy lychees. What are lychees?”
"More than thirty of the attendants who awakened her are already dead. There are rumors that we have hidden a super ogre monster. Now we are using the attendants to feed it... Well, let's not mention the morale of this pair.
Due to the influence, the army gathers a lot of food every day, how can we just consume it like this?"
"No matter what, even if there is no blessing from the God of Fire and a direct raid with the help of the God of Earth Elements, it is not a problem at all to capture two cities for the winter. At least it is better than wasting it here now. Yesterday there were more than thirty
The tribe chose to leave."
Women are difficult to deal with, and female demons are even more difficult to deal with. In the past half month, the chiefs have had enough of Eliza's constant new demands. The orcs are not weaklings, and the idea of leaving her behind and going it alone is becoming more and more popular.
As one of the few people who could say a few words to Marquis Eliza, Kamala naturally became the best messenger. During this period, other chiefs also looked at her more highly because of this, but as time went by,
Instead, she suffered a lot of anger from both sides and was full of resentment at this time.
"We can't wait any longer. Who knows what else she can do tomorrow. The first snow will fall soon, and it will be really late by then."
"Hey, I've heard before that the Demon King has no scruples and acts according to his own preferences. I really saw it this time."
"Don't mention it, this is a marquis-level great demon who occupies a single plane. In other words, it is equivalent to the existence of a true god. I can understand it at all. But she has an endless lifespan, but we can't afford it."
"We can't wait any longer. Let's show our cards tomorrow..."
And when the orc chiefs were troubled by the moodiness of the Demon Lord, they never would have guessed that the Demon Lord they said was extremely difficult to deal with would be chatting passionately with their biggest enemy.
His tone was not impatient or irritable towards himself or others.
"...I think they can't wait much longer. Even if the God of Fire doesn't give him the blessing, they will go it alone."
"Have you fought for more than half a month? You have done a good job. Is there a lot of pressure on the abyss? Do the other demon kings have any complaints?"
"The devil doesn't care about insignificant others and lets the power of the elements set off waves on the main plane. That's the will of the abyss. It doesn't care about success or failure, as long as the power of the elements makes the elemental tide rise."
When she said this, Eliza paused.
"This march is obviously not innocent. There must be agents of other demon nobles in the camp. There are never a few big demons who want to take the opportunity to please the will of the abyss. As long as I don't give my blessing, others will probably use this as an excuse to take over.
."
"Then give it to them. When they have a final showdown with you, just give them your blessing."
"Um?"
This is different from the expected discussion. The orc army that is not afraid of the cold winter will undoubtedly become the number one enemy, but I have other ideas.
"Of course a complete Vulcan blessing is troublesome, but if something goes wrong along the way and the blessing does not achieve the expected effect, no one can blame you... Understand."
"You are as bad as ever. By the way, have you been flirting lately? If so, be careful of my sudden attack."
After the serious talk in secret, the remaining topics were naturally daily chatter. To be honest, if Eliza had stayed with me, I would have been single and not know how to deal with it. So chatting like usual would be a waste of time.
Make it more adaptable.
"How could it be? I'm lucky to have this luck. You don't know how weird Beifeng and the others have been recently. There are more and more gentlemen and they can't handle it..."
Moreover, I don't even know how I feel about her.
Lover? Companion? The adopted daughter whom I have watched grow up since childhood is more reliable than the first two relationships. At least I know that every time I think of the familiar silver hair and pretty face, the rare warmth and sweetness is the care and longing for my family.
, but definitely not love for lovers.
"I also know that Eliza has sacrificed a lot, and I also have a rough idea of what she intends to do for it. But every time I really plan to treat her as a lover, I always inexplicably think of her voice and appearance when she was six or seven years old. I
He's not a beast. How could he do it? Maybe it's just because it's so important that he hesitates."
"Hey, this is really getting more confusing the more I think about it. Forget it, let's not think about it. Anyway, since I couldn't think clearly before, I won't be able to think clearly in the future. Let's just live in this muddle."
I know this is an extremely irresponsible ostrich mentality, but past experience has proven that although this method of burying your head in the ground is embarrassing, it is indeed effective.
After all, not everyone can live as long as me. As long as the person dies, there will naturally be no emotional disputes.
"However, even if you want to be a bulldozer scum, you have to meet certain conditions. The first life died too early, and the second life just found out something, which triggered a war, and the death was tragic. In the third life, for revenge,
Transform yourself into a lich...sometimes when I look at the men and women who appear on Valentine's Day, I feel like they have lost inexplicably, and I want to shout the slogan of the fff group and then throw a fireball at them."
However, sometimes I think more about it. If I hadn't been filled with revenge and pursuit of power in those years, maybe I would have met the right person and formed a real family. Maybe I would have children and grandchildren by now, and
It wasn’t when he was more than three hundred years old that he fell in love with his adopted daughter (Da Wu) who sympathized with him and started his first love in a messy way. The most outrageous thing is that he didn’t understand his love yet, but he had descendants inexplicably.
Perhaps, it was precisely because Eliza also knew me that she played those little tricks, so that I never had the chance to say my refusal. Instead, I owed a lot of favor debts in a confused way, which led to today's reality.
"Although she didn't say it, the abyss can't be a good place. Demons are the incarnation of chaos. The demons below are constantly rebelling. Demons at the same level are devouring each other and evolving. The battle is never-ending. I'm afraid there has been no truce since she entered the abyss.
It’s really hard for her.”
"But Eliza's decision is really right. It is indeed very advantageous for the Chaos side to have a senior spy. Just a piece of news at a critical moment can change the situation of the battle. If there is a surprise attack without any warning, it might have been completely plunged into
This half-month delay has changed the entire situation... The more we owe, the more we owe, and this debt of gratitude cannot be repaid."
After the chat ended, I breathed a sigh of relief and put aside my personal feelings. This time the orc invasion was really difficult to deal with.
The first one to bear the brunt is the Kingdom of Siluwell. My feelings about this country are even more complicated.
They claim to be Lan's orthodoxy, and this alone makes people wonder how to complain.
After all, in my generation, only Cavins and I were the only ones who died in the royal family of Arashi. If my damn father didn’t leave an illegitimate child, then his orthodoxy would probably only be me or Cavins.
After Cavins' reputation became infamous, this last inexplicable descendant, although it was not stated clearly, could only be under my banner again.
History is history, reality is history, but since they admit that they are descendants of the Land of Arashi, there are some things worth pondering.
If the Holy Sword and the last prince representing the king's authority of Arashi return, then should the Kingdom of Siluwell, which recognizes that its royal family is of the blood of Arashi, return to the banner of the King of Arashi? Then, the current king
Should Pavel III hand over his crown and settle down as an ordinary sinecure lord?
Of course, everyone knows that is impossible, but if I really take Roland's Holy Sword to his capital to shout, no one can guess what will happen. At least, with Donglan's rise again,
With the return of Roland and his knights, the people of Lan have not stopped migrating back from Siluwell.
So, they made a decision, and what was placed in front of me was the "gift" sent by the other party to express condolences to the ancestors.
"Hey, are you admitting your Arashi bloodline and sending assassins to kill you? You are really a filial descendant." (To be continued...)
ps: ps1. My condition is really bad, I have a little less today, but it’s finally my rest day, so I should be able to make up for it tomorrow.
ps2, let me tell you a cold joke. Once upon a time, a student had a toothache...and then, he died from the pain."
Okay, Death's Truant Diary, a new book written by the top student after his resurrection.
