Although the King of Light had a bad view of human beings due to the third belief, he never expected that the battle in the square outside the city would end in such a way - the winner and loser would be switched at the last moment.
Location.
When the crow fled in embarrassment with the two eldest princesses, the fluctuations in his mood were noticed by the devil opposite.
"They have tried their best. Facing a confident person like Cohen, this result is acceptable." The Demon King waved his hand and closed the magic image: "The fields perfected using architectural techniques, ingenious martial arts, and deeply hidden plans...
Cohen's actions have strengthened your decision to carry out divine punishment, right?"
"Is there any merit to such a human being?" The God King reached out and filled the Demon King's jade cup.
"Then let's drink to the impending punishment." The Demon King raised the jade cup.
But the God King shook his head again, and then corrected: "It's a toast to the coming new era."
"It's all the same." The Demon King put down the cup, and his clear figure gradually faded, and finally completely disappeared from the God King's sight.
The God King also stood up, first looked around calmly, and then sighed leisurely before leaving - in the next moment, the God King appeared in his palace, and the figure kneeling on the carpet opposite was the one who had returned home today.
The eldest princess of the divine clan.
"Don't blame yourself." The God King did not mean to blame the eldest princess at all. Instead, he explained to her, "Anyone who plots rebellion will not follow the established rules in order to succeed. No matter in terms of strategy or details, he will
They will all look for loopholes in the rules, so in my opinion, it is normal for you to encounter accidents. By the way, how is the crow's injury?"
"It's okay, he has already gone for treatment." Princess Liretta replied, "But I have lost most of my abilities."
"Don't worry, power is fluid and will always return to its starting point." The God King said gently, "Before the punishment of heaven is carried out, you will reach another level and be more powerful than you were before. And the crow encountered
That opponent will also be punished by him personally."
"Yes." Princess Lilita raised her head, "In addition, at the foot of the Holy Mountain of Light, there is a human who wants to see Father God."
"A human?" For a long time, the God King has not thought that there are other humans besides Cohen worth paying attention to, but now it seems that both the nature and the timing of this matter make this matter so bizarre that even the God King cannot help but be surprised.
For a moment, "Who is it?"
"The leader of the NATO treaty merchant group, Ulysses." Princess Liretta replied, "He said that there is something very important, even something related to the highest interests of the entire superior clan, and he needs to meet with Father God."
"Human beings have learned to brag." The King of Gods did not agree with what the eldest princess told him. He had already decided to carry out divine punishment, and his hatred for Cohen had spread to the entire human race. However, what exactly happened to make this cautious human being bold?
What about entering the Holy Mountain of Light?
So he nodded: "Bring him here."
At this time, Ulysses was wearing his most luxurious attire, kneeling at the foot of the Holy Mountain with concentration and piety - after receiving a reply from the Southern Treaty Business Group, he began to prepare for this trip to the Holy Mountain. Treaty Business Group
Sufficient financial resources, coupled with his rich experience, enabled him to bribe most of the high-ranking priests before, and then using other means, he successfully used the temple to teleport the magic circle to get here.
If the God King of Light does not see him, then this transmission will be a one-way trip.
The news of the death of the God of War was the last report that Ulysses received before leaving. This made him understand that he had no escape route - in fact, that was also the last report that came out of the city. What happened next,
No one recorded or disseminated it - he didn't know whether he could persuade the God King. The only thing he was sure of was the consequences of failure to persuade.
The maid came over and read out the order from the God King in a stiff tone. Ulysses raised his head and immediately saw hatred in the maid's eyes, which was a kind of hatred for all mankind.
As a member of the Light God Clan, she was naturally full of feelings about the fall of the God of War. Ulysses himself also asked to meet the God King under this mentality. The difference is that the maid of the God Clan expressed
Because of his hatred and desire for revenge, all Ulysses can express is to plead. This is his only choice, and for this, he may even sacrifice everything.
"Stop." As soon as he entered the palace, the maid stopped him: "Kneel down."
"Ulysses, a member of the human race, meets His Majesty the great God-King of the God of Light!" Ulysses knelt at the outer end of the carpet and did not use many honorifics; the God-King of Light sat on the other end of the carpet, but on both sides of the carpet
The distance between the two ends seems to be endless for human beings.
"In what capacity are you kneeling?" The God King's voice came from afar, "And why are you here here?"
"Reporting to the God King of Light, I kneel down as a leader of human forces and come for the survival of mankind." Ulysses answered unhurriedly, but what came out of his mouth was not simple.
, "In addition to my royal status, I was also a member of the secret society of the Divine Alliance that rebelled against the superiors, so I know some ancient history and some things that the superiors cannot tolerate... I am only a human after all.
At this juncture, I can only rack my brains to plan for the survival of mankind."
"Interesting, will the members of the former rebel club also come to beg the Gods?" The God King laughed softly, "Don't you call yourself people of faith?"
"Reporting to His Majesty the King of Gods, my belief is for the survival of mankind, but I made a wrong goal before. The natural enemy of human survival is not the superior race, but a part of mankind itself." Ulysses said calmly
Answer, "Someone like Cohen Kedar."
"In this case, you should know his ending, and you should also know the ending of mankind." The God King said slowly, "Is there still room for you to lobby here?"
"I know my words are powerless, but Your Majesty the God King, some things can still be undone." Ulysses said cautiously, "Koen Keda and his supporters deserve to die, but in the entire human race,
There are still some innocent people... Therefore, I boldly beg Your Majesty to let these innocent people save themselves!"
"You are indeed bold enough." The God King laughed a little louder: "Let you save yourselves?"
"Yes! Let us save ourselves!" Ulysses raised his head sharply and said with indomitable determination, "Please give us the power to attack the Sbia Alliance and the Third Faith!"
"Crunt?" The God King was stunned for a moment, "What ability do you have to crusade against Korn Keda?"
"We have an army that doesn't want to die, and a people that don't want to die!" Ulysses said sadly, "We can't defeat Korn Keda, there's no doubt about it, but we can defeat everyone except him.
Sibians!”
"Then what?" God King asked calmly.
"If we can have the honor to reach this point!" Ulysses' passionate tone weakened, as if he was touching a magic ball that could explode at any time, "Can you please have mercy on us innocent people?
Chances of survival…”
"Get out." The God King's answer was extremely brief.
Ulysses was immediately thrown out of the palace by the maid. If it weren't for the fact that the God King had just met him, he might have rolled down the tens of thousands of steps and finally turned into a pile of fertilizer at the foot of the mountain.
However, Duke Swice Hepburn, who acted at the same time as Ulysses, was quite lucky. He didn't knock his head too much, and he was relatively close to the Demon King when he knelt down. And most importantly, after hearing his plea, the Demon King showed his face.
smiled.
"How do you know the superior clan's judgment standards?"
"I am still the leader of the Black Skull and Bones Society." When the Duke said this, he did not blink his eyelids or wrinkle his eyebrows. "In the records of the Black Skull and Bones Society, I know the conditions for the release of heavenly punishment, and also
Understand that today’s human beings already meet this condition.”
"So you want to stop..." The Demon King on the throne lowered his upper body slightly, "Who came up with the idea? You?"
"Actually, it's not me, it's Ulysses, the leader of the NATO treaty." Siwes said frankly, "In order to frighten us, Cohen Al-Qaeda sent us a liaison team, and they also carried very convenient communication items. Me and
Ulysses communicated through this method. After realizing that the third faith posed a huge threat to mankind, we formulated this general method."
"Those things are not important." The Demon King waved his hand, "The key is that you cannot defeat Sibia with your ability, nor can you control the influence of the third faith within a single area."
"We can!" Swice couldn't remember the last time he argued, but he knew that if he didn't argue now, he wouldn't be the only one who would be in trouble. "We can defeat them, and even reach all the way to Korn Keda!"
"Your confidence is unreasonable." The Demon King shook his head and said, "But I still want to hear how you are going to defeat Sibia."
"First of all, we are convinced that there are many people in the Sbia Alliance who don't want to die!" Swice said solemnly, "If they understand that following Cohen Keda is a dead end, how many people will support him? As long as this kind of public opinion
If the impact is large enough, Sibia's power will be weakened, and our power will become stronger!"
"Among humans, there are many people who are unrepentant." The Demon King didn't care, "Continue."
"The rest of the matter is divided into two steps. In the first step, we form a crusade coalition based on the treaty business group." Swice's explanation was full of military style, "In view of the current military strength of various countries, the strength of this army
The number cannot be too large, but fortunately, the army of Korn Keda will not be too large, because we can disintegrate the army of the Sbia Alliance through various channels! And the focus must be on the three empires that have just been split.
"
"But aren't those three empires still run by the Keda family?"
"Yes, but at the same time, these three empires also have the largest number of armies, which are worthy of our investment." Swice's tone was calm and confident, "Even if we cannot make them switch sides, persuading them to remain neutral is not a problem - in
Under the pressure of reality and life and death, normal people will not choose a dead end. As long as they agree to remain neutral, the coalition's military offensive will be more than half successful."
"How far can we fight with the small army of the merchant group?" The devil's question is not sharp, but it is difficult for an African soldier to answer... because there has been no such thing in recent years.
The people defeated the Sibians.
"The combined forces of the two merchant groups from the north and the south attack at the same time, and if the Sibia Empire along the way remains neutral, we can attack the city wall waiting for us." Siwes's answer gave people a sense of reality, "I
I will guarantee this victory with my life. If we cannot reach the city, please end my life."
The devil smiled and stood up.
"According to human logic, you are a soldier or a commander, but all you can guarantee is to fight under the wall of the waiting city." The Demon King stepped down from his throne step by step, looking at the fearless man at his feet with a joking look.
Human beings, "Is this because you are not brave enough, or because you lack confidence? And why do superiors have the need to waste time on you and your mediocre plans?"
"If we lose in the end, the superior clan will only spend a little time, and there will be no loss for the superior clan!" Siwei hurriedly defended, "But if we can realize this plan, the superior clan will win the entire world.
!”
"It's not your turn to comment on the gains and losses of the superior clan." The Demon King remained unmoved, "Human, answer my other questions."
"Yes!" Siwes lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "According to our prediction, the total number of troops that Korn Keda has placed near the city is 150,000. It may not be enough, but it will definitely not exceed it. We discussed
The army that the regiment can muster is about three times this number, but as the party launching the attack, this number of troops is obviously not enough, let alone relying on this few people to conquer the city."
"so what?"
"So hitting the wall of the waiting city is our ultimate goal, because our army's casualties will be as high as 50% at that time!" Siwei's words contained a bitterness and tragedy, "Ulysses and I never thought
However, we can rely on our own troops to enter the waiting city or capture Cohen Keda... He belongs to the upper clan, and he can only belong to the upper clan. The most we can do is surround the third faith."
"So that's how you arranged it." The Demon King smiled again, "Okay, I will take care of Cohen Keda, and what are you doing?"
"What we can do is to eliminate the influence of the third faith." Siwes looked up at the devil, "We will kill all the humans polluted by the third faith. No chickens or dogs will be left behind! No word will be left!"
"Do you really have this determination?"
"Yes, my determination is extremely firm."
"What about you?" The Demon King's voice became gentle, "Are you one of the polluted humans?"
"If I am... yes, I have been contaminated by the claims of the third faith." Siwei's face paled for a moment, then turned red again, "But please rest assured, at the right time, I will
Will take care of myself!"
"You and Ulysses planned all of this and paid a huge price to achieve it, but the result was just killing the same kind of people. In the end, you even had to get rid of yourself." The devil said, "This kind of thing is very common in the world.
It is logically wrong, and you, the framer and implementer, have no interests whatsoever. Then, the entire plan you mentioned cannot be said to be true."
"No! I can get benefits!" Siwes said categorically, "I am a member of the human race, and humanity will survive because of my actions. This is a huge benefit!"
"But you will die." The Devil said, "What does the existence of human beings mean to you who no longer exist?"
"This is a necessary sacrifice, Your Majesty the Demon King." Siwes replied with a smile, "If my efforts and sacrifices can bring about this result, I will be very happy... because I have a deep feeling for human beings."
"Emotions, the ultimate key is feelings..." The Demon King shook his head, "Go back. No matter what the outcome is, I will give you a clear answer."
Siwei seemed to want to say something more, but looking at the back of the Demon King, he lost the ability to speak. The vast power and will were definitely not something he could resist. He could only lower his head and follow the guidance of the maid.
Exit the palace.
"Father." The demon princess appeared at the end of the palace, "Should we prepare as planned?"
"Of course we have to prepare." The Demon King said softly, "First determine the precise location of the dragon clan's lair, and then make other preparations first."
"This...does the father want to agree to human beings' request?" the eldest princess asked doubtfully.
"The point is not on my side, but on the God King's side. Since Sivis has found me, Ulysses must have gone to the Holy Mountain." The Demon King replied with a smile, "Although it was the God King who decided first.
He will impose heavenly punishment, but the more determined his attitude is, the stronger the regret in his heart. My answer to Siweis is just to give the God King time to think about it."
"Then the God King... will he finally agree to human beings' plea?"
"It doesn't really matter what choice you make." The Demon King's answer was profound. "It depends on what the God King wants to get from it. If humans can show different characteristics, then what does it matter if we spend some time? Even if God
The king promised them, and they did it, but the city and Korn Keda will still be destroyed by heaven's punishment."
"Understood." The eldest princess nodded and stepped back, "Then I will go and make arrangements for Dragon Island."
For ordinary human beings, the God King's Palace at the top of Guangming Holy Mountain is not a sunny place, because the wind here can blow up huge rocks, and the seemingly gentle sunlight will scorch people's skin.
Walking into the shadows, the cold air will freeze you directly.
But Ulysses was kneeling under the main entrance of the palace. He fell into unconsciousness and trance again and again, making it impossible for him to determine how long he had been kneeling. His appearance had long been gone, his lips were chapped, and the exposed skin was rolled up and leaking out.
The bloodshot solidified before it could drip. If the passing protoss maid didn't want him to die at the palace gate and threw some recovery magic at him, Ulysses might have become moldy.
He is a royal family member of the Tanxi Empire. Of course he knows that his actions are meaningless to the superiors, but he has said everything he can say and done everything he can. The only thing left is this lack of reason.
The prayer-like behavior... When he was in a daze, he really thought that this low-profile pleading could impress the other party.
And when he woke up occasionally, a strong sense of urgency would make his kneeling posture more standard. Because one sentence clearly appeared in his mind: In front of gods and demons, humans will always be just ants.
Ant, this is your situation!
A gust of wind blew by, taking away a few pieces of dry, wrinkled and blackened skin. The heart-wrenching pain once again reminded him that he was still alive. He raised his eyes and looked at the main entrance of the palace, trying to make his posture more regular.
Never give up halfway, even a bad old man can do things!
"Ulysses." A cold voice sounded above him: "You haven't given up yet?"
"I..." he replied in a hoarse voice: "I'm waiting for His Majesty the God King to receive me."
"If you go back now, you can still enjoy the last peace in your life."
"Please... please allow me... to plead..." Every time he said a word, his throat felt like he had been stabbed.
"Okay, you can get up." The reply magic enveloped him: "His Majesty the God King wants to see you." (To be continued)
