Chapter 1437 The Brave

The night was getting darker, but the area near the Blackstone Fortress seemed to be full of fire, and the thick smoke mixed with the smell of barbecue was a bit nauseating.

Viola sat in the office, and the knight of the guard helped her take off her armor and cast a healing spell on the bruised area.

"I see, why did I suddenly feel powerful divine power, and these things happened?"

Due to facial paralysis, Aldee had no expression at all on her face, but after listening to Viola's story, her blue eyes showed an undisguised look of regret.

It would be nice if she was there, at least she could make an observation and record.

Viola shook her head and said:

"I didn't expect that there are weapons in this world that can hurt you..."

"What's so strange about this?"

Aldai said:

"Since the existence of the gods, there has been no shortage of people in the mortal world who rebel against the gods. They are not smart people, because truly smart people know how high the probability of failure is before they do it. They are not fools either. To fight against the gods, the only thing mortals can rely on is wisdom. They are just a group of simple brave people."

Viola glanced at her sideways:

"It sounds like you have a high opinion of these people."

"In the words of the Lord, I admire these brave men who dare to resist the gods. Although it is very stupid for them to target the gods, it is not right to dare to do things that ordinary people dare not A prerequisite for leaving one’s name in history?”

The brain circuit of a mage is obviously not the same as that of a believer. For a mage, the gods are just powerful creatures, worthy of admiration, not worship.

Therefore, mages actually have a strong desire for knowledge and look at things like resisting or even killing gods with a research attitude.

The multiverse world has countless planes, and as the base number goes up, there are naturally many brave people who dare to resist the gods.

And the methods used by these brave men, which have been passed down, are the god-killing weapons and the magic spells that can defeat the power of the gods.

Of course, these things will also be blocked by the gods, and Aldai has only seen scribbled records in books, but has never seen the real thing.

She has already begun to think about whether she can borrow the holy sword Yilanmo from Li Chengqi to study...

Viola was too lazy to argue with Aldai. She felt that the pain in her body had eased a lot, and she put on her armor again.

At this time, a guard knight sent a preliminary statistical battle report.

As expected, in the battle of Blackstone Fortress, the Avarus Demon Kingdom's army won a complete victory. The number of casualties was only a few hundred, and most of them were only wounded, not dead.

The number of Subia Demon Kingdom soldiers who died under the city wall alone exceeded 5,000. This is the number of corpses that have been piled up and burned so far. The number of cavalry who went out to kill them after they retreated has not been counted.

No matter where this battle report is placed, it is an irrefutable victory.

This war is inherently a favorable situation, and the advantage is not that great, so it is natural that it should be fought like this.

The problem is that behind this war, the seven apostles are not only operating secretly, but they even have weapons that can hurt the saints.

This gave Viola a very strong sense of crisis, because in her eyes, Li Chengqi was omnipotent, invincible, and impossible to be defeated.

But Viola's reason ignores the fact that gods can be killed, but her enemies cannot.

And all of this seems to point to the Demon Kingdom of Subia, a country that has been in isolation since its defeat in the battle in Open City.

Viola's original strategy was too simple. With one right hook, she captured the high-quality land in Tandelon and Subia Demon Kingdom, strengthened the strength of Avarus, showed her presence, and told the world , Your Majesty is back.

She should be more cautious and careful. If she hadn't rushed out to lead the charge, Isaac would have never had a chance to fight alone, and naturally he wouldn't have lured Li Chengqi down.

It wasn't Viola's fault, but she couldn't convince herself.

While I was thinking about this, someone knocked on the door.

Viola thought it was a new statistical report. When the door opened, the knight guarding outside handed over a box the size of a shoebox and a letter with a strange look on his face.

Viola opened the letter first, but Aldee walked over and opened the box.

A strong smell of blood mixed with a faint smell of sweat appeared in the room. Aldai looked into the box:

"Hello, General Isaac."

Isaac, who had a ferocious face and seemed to maintain an angry expression, had his head placed in the box.

Of course, he couldn't respond, at least not yet.

Viola just glanced at it, and then focused on the letter, reading ten lines at a glance, and quickly read the short letter.

She sighed softly:

"The disciplinary priests captured Isaac and his entourage in the forest. There are three people who look like the Seven Apostles. They are currently being taken away by the disciplinary priests for interrogation."

Neither Li Chengqi nor Viola wanted the Demon King's Cult to establish an organization similar to the Inquisition. After all, being able to control it now does not mean that such an organization will not get out of control in the future.

But the Demon King’s Cult can’t just deceive ordinary people, Wei Guangzheng is also the one who needs to do the dirty work.

Therefore, there is a branch sect under the Demon King's Cult, euphemistically called the Punishment Priests' Guild. To outsiders, this is a group of priests who specialize in fighting, but Viola knows that these guys are more capable of assassination and torture than divine magic. method is actually better.

Aurday also came over to look at the signature at the bottom of the letter:

"Lilia? I remember when we were in Leon territory, she was still a little girl practicing sword under the castle, right?"

"Yes, that's her. In fact, she is only 15 years old now."

At the beginning, Li Chengxi used a plate to guide Viola to find Lilia. Viola felt that this was definitely God's guidance, so she asked Lilia to join the Guards Knights and began combat training. (See Chapter 9 for details)

But later, because there were too many things, Lilia's combat training was handed over to the intelligence unit. Later, after retaking the capital, Lilia entered the church and worked under Zora.

For a little girl in a remote rural area, this is already a meteoric rise, but Viola feels strange that the innocent and ignorant little girl at that time has now become a disciplinary priest, which is a bit hard to accept.

In fact, this is purely because Viola doesn't know Lilia. In addition to her improved combat ability, her personality has not changed at all.

She is still innocent, but still cruel. When Viola met her, Lilia had already shown characteristics different from ordinary children.

Shaking her head, Viola threw all these messy things out of her mind, tapping her fingers on the table:

"We know too little about the Seven Apostles. If my father were still alive, he might be able to tell us more, but now..."

The reason why Avarus almost destroyed the country was because Viola's father wanted to bring back the Demon King God.

He must know about the Seven Apostles.

"I can only hope that the Punishment Priest can get useful information."

"I can try it too."

Olde pointed to Isaac in the box:

"You have no use for this head?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Sometimes, the dead are more likely to speak than the living."
