  • The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies 82

    Chapter 82: Save Your Wife

    Adele’s worst fears had materialized.

    Dorothy and Hermione ascended the platform, one from the left, the other from the right, their synchronized movements causing a ripple of excitement throughout the crowd.

    Amidst the murmurs and whispers, they approached the Headmistress, a figure shrouded in a shimmering gold robe, her eyes closed as if in a perpetual slumber, and requested a change of opponents.

    The reason for this unprecedented move was obvious.

    Dorothy, her expression as haughty as ever, met Hermione’s calm yet defiant gaze.

    They had chosen each other.

    The Headmistress, Winona, was a Legendary Mage known as the “Stargazer”. Her youthful appearance belied her true age, leading many to mistake her for a mere girl. Her long, flaxen hair, cascading down to the floor, seemed to defy gravity, its ends floating effortlessly above the ground, untouched by dust. Her serene, closed-eyed expression lent her an air of otherworldly detachment, like a princess secluded in an ivory tower.

    Her constant companion, a fluffy white griffon chick with soft golden wings, nestled contentedly in her arms, completing the image.

    The griffon, a mythical creature resembling a lion with the wings of an eagle, was a symbol of power and majesty, often depicted as a noble steed. Its smaller, more feline cousin, the griffon chick, was said to possess an unparalleled affinity for magic, making it a prized companion for Legendary Mages.

    In other words, if you spotted a griffon chick, you could be sure that a Legendary Mage was nearby.

    Winona didn’t respond immediately to the students’ request. The griffon chick, sensing the shift in atmosphere, let out a soft chirp and burrowed deeper into her arms.

    A gentle smile curved Winona’s lips as she stroked the chick’s feathers.

    “Conflict is pointless,” she said, her voice soft yet carrying, as if it echoed directly in the minds of everyone present. “But who can resist a good catfight?”

    Dorothy & Hermione: “…”

    Although she hadn’t explicitly stated it, it was clear that Winona had granted their request.

    She enjoyed watching girls fight. She was a fan of drama.

    It seemed that even Legendary Mages weren’t immune to a little bit of mischief.

    Rumor had it that many students had been forced to share their snacks with Winona’s griffon chick. The little creature had a voracious appetite, devouring anything in sight, from expensive pastries to savory meat dishes. Students would often return to their dorms, eager to enjoy the treats they had saved for later, only to find their refrigerators empty, a single golden feather or a tuft of white fur the only evidence of the culprit’s identity.

    Despite numerous complaints, Winona had never addressed the issue. It was as if she were saying, “Who dares to question my authority?”

    Dorothy and Hermione bowed respectfully, acknowledging Winona’s decision. It seemed that even the rebellious Dorothy knew better than to defy a Legendary Mage.

    Their battle was scheduled for the middle of the afternoon.

    Some worried that their clash would destroy the training ground, unleashing uncontrollable forces. But when they voiced their concerns to Winona, the Stargazer simply replied, “There will be no disaster today.”

    Her words, imbued with the weight of prophecy, calmed their fears.

    Word of the upcoming battle spread quickly, reaching Adele’s ears in no time.

    Adele, unaware of Winona’s prediction, panicked. She had to stop them! She didn’t want Hermione to get hurt!

    It seemed that even in Adele’s mind, Hermione was the underdog in this fight.

    As for Dorothy… well, Adele wouldn’t mind seeing someone teach her a lesson. But just a small lesson. Adele still believed that Dorothy could be redeemed.

    She couldn’t sit still any longer.

    “Sharon… I need to go to the bathroom,” she said, her voice trembling.

    She had to find Hermione, or Dorothy, and convince one of them to back down.

    “Do you… want me to come with you?” Sharon offered hesitantly.

    “N-no, it’s fine,” Adele replied quickly, cutting her off.

    Sharon’s face fell, but as an introvert, she was skilled at hiding her emotions.

    She forced a smile. “Well… come back soon.”

    Adele nodded absently and hurried away, following the path Hermione had taken.

    At the same moment, on the other side of the audience, the Amaterasu twins observed Adele’s departure. They exchanged a knowing glance, a silent agreement passing between them.

    ………………

    “Hermi—”

    Adele called out, her voice breathless from running. But before she could finish Hermione’s name, darkness swallowed her whole.

    Hermione, thinking it was her imagination, turned around. Seeing nothing but empty space behind her, she frowned, then shook her head, dismissing the strange sensation.

    *Focus on Dorothy,* she thought. *She’s the priority.*

    Unbeknownst to her, two figures, one dressed in black, the other in white, were carrying Adele away, one holding her waist, the other her legs. They hurried towards the nearest empty classroom.

    “Is it just me, or is Adele getting heavier?” Kuro asked, her brow furrowed.

    “Think positive,” Shiro replied. “Maybe she’s not getting fat. Maybe she’s pregnant.”

    “???”

    Adele, her consciousness slowly returning, groaned inwardly. Their conversation was a testament to her recent good fortune, the abundance of delicious food and high-quality blood she had been enjoying. She was, in every sense of the word, well-nourished.

    As for her current predicament… well, she had been knocked unconscious by a Sequence One’s psychic attack. Again.

    It was like a vampire version of “Conqueror’s Haki”, incredibly effective against weaker opponents.

    But just like last time, when Hermione had knocked her out, she quickly regained consciousness. She just couldn’t let her captors know that.

    She would play the role of the “clueless little fool”, answering their questions obediently.

    As for the identities of her captors… well, Adele had already figured that out.

    The Amaterasu twins. Dorothy’s mischievous little henchwomen.

    Adele had no love for these two.

    Kuro, the elder twin, was openly malicious, a classic villain who acted on her every whim. Hence the sudden attack.

    Shiro, the younger twin, was more insidious, often pretending to be helpful while secretly plotting mischief. She was the mastermind behind most of Kuro’s antics.

    And both were incredibly powerful.

    Kuro could manipulate gravity, while Shiro could control gravitational pull, even creating tides.

    But this was a fictional world, where the laws of physics were… flexible, to say the least.

    Taking their abilities literally would be a mistake. If they could truly manipulate fundamental forces, they would be practically invincible.

    In the context of the story, Kuro’s gravity manipulation was more like the ability to make things fall down. And Shiro’s gravitational pull was more like the ability to attract things.

    They were Ability-type vampires, unlike Dorothy, who was a Familiar-type, and Hermione, who was an Elemental-type.

    Adele hadn’t expected to encounter the twins at a time like this. But fate, it seemed, had a twisted sense of humor.

    They reached an empty classroom, and the twins, acting simultaneously, tried to open the door. Kuro pulled, Shiro pushed, and the door remained firmly shut.

    It seemed that even twins weren’t always in sync.

    They exchanged a glare, their minds no doubt filled with colorful insults. A close sibling relationship wasn’t about being polite and agreeable all the time. It was about arguing, making up, and moving on.

    Adele, though unable to hear their thoughts, sensed their shared animosity. They would take out their frustration on her.

    She was in trouble.

    Big trouble.

    They deposited her on a table, their movements as casual as if they were arranging a doll. The curtains closed, manipulated by a combination of gravity and gravitational pull. The lights flickered on, illuminating Adele’s pale skin, making her look even more delicate and vulnerable.

    Adele’s breath quickened, her eyes wide and unfocused. The twins’ voices, laced with a predatory amusement, echoed in her ears.

    “I prefer Adele when she’s obedient,” Shiro said, her voice a soft purr.

    Kuro chuckled. “That’s no fun. The best part is hearing them scream,” she said, her voice laced with a sadistic glee. “The struggle, the despair…”

    She reached out and stroked Adele’s cheek, her touch cold and unsettling.

    Adele shivered involuntarily.

    “Huh, that’s no fun,” Kuro grumbled.

    “You go first,” Shiro said. “I’ll take my turn when she wakes up~”

    Their conversation, so casually cruel, was like a symphony of horror to Adele’s ears.

    *They’re both insane!*

    She had known they were villains, but their blatant disregard for any pretense of decency was shocking.

    *Dorothy! Hermione! Stop fighting! Someone save me!*

     

  • As a villain, I just want them to behave 100p2

    Chapter 100: A Familiar Scene p2

    ……

    “Let me remind you again, if you see Kailson and the others, you have to pretend to be very aggrieved and pitiful. Of course, this process should be moderate, you can’t ruin your Saint persona and let them see the flaws.”

    Time came to evening, and Saint Chrissy, whose favorability had been brushed to 80, became even more clingy.

    After walking out of the mobile palace, she still clung tightly to Kailun’s arm, her soft breasts pressing hard against it, making Kailun’s arm sink deep into them.

    It couldn’t be said that she was clingy, it could only be said that she was too clingy.

    Because of the Saint’s performance, Carol, who was passing by, pouted jealously again.

    She also wanted to be as shameless as the Saint, but looking at her developing breasts, she felt that she might need to endure for a while longer.

    Kailun had said that he would wait until she was in good shape before eating her, and she was looking forward to that day.

    For Carol, Kailun, this bad guy, was her salvation.

    Although she always dreamed of a lot of magic knowledge and fragmented memory fragments recently, she would still choose to listen to Kailun’s teachings quietly, even though she already understood many of them.

    In her dreams, it seemed to be an underground world dominated by black, where a fox with an unclear face taught her to learn.

    She both respected and hated this fox.

    As for why she respected and hated it, she didn’t know, she couldn’t get the answer in her dream. In her opinion, this was a predetermined result.

    Secretly making a face at Chrissy behind her back, Carol quietly slipped away.

    Less than half an hour before the scheduled attack time, the initial attack would only be a feint. Kailun wouldn’t fight to the end until Kailson made a move.

    Through Isabella’s divination, he had confirmed that Kailson had arrived at the capital of Malaga ahead of schedule, a day earlier than expected.

    To be on the safe side, Kailun didn’t even let Afra participate in this attack.

    After all, if Kailson huddled on the city wall and cast magic with his hands, he would have a big headache.

    In case of an accident, his wife might be gone, so Kailun would never let Afra participate in the first round of feints.

    It was precisely because she was strongly rejected by Kailun that Afra, who was squatting on the ground sharpening her sword, would look at Kailun every time she sharpened her sword. Her dangerous gaze made the latter feel itchy on his back.

    Afra understood why Kailun had asked her where her home was before. He was a bad little brother!

    However, she also said that if Kailun didn’t let her participate in the battle today, she would make him sleep on the floor.

    “I remember everything clearly. If I really encounter them, I will definitely act in character. But now I’m holding your hand, Sister Afra won’t really be angry, right?”

    Chrissy couldn’t help but lean over and lick Kailun’s neck.

    Because she was often clocked in by Kailun, Chrissy had to take three baths a day on average.

    It was because she had a deep foundation, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to withstand Kailun’s firepower at all.

    To put it figuratively, Chrissy’s combat power was about ten times that of Afra, which meant that it would take ten Afras lined up in a row to barely resist Kailun’s attack.

    “Don’t provoke her, or you’ll sleep on the floor tonight.” Kailun turned his head away.

    Chrissy had licked him dozens of times today alone. Kailun was afraid that if this continued, he wouldn’t have time to accompany the others.

    “Sleep on the floor then, as long as you can accompany me.”

    Chrissy licked from the corner of Kailun’s mouth to his ear, and she gently bit Kailun’s ear with her alluring red lips.

    Kailun: “No, I won’t accompany you, I will only let Winnie accompany you.”

    Winnie, who had just passed by: “???”

    Did this mean that she had to go back to the floor again?

    [Your vicious words hurt Winnie’s heart. Favorability -10, Total favorability -30]

    Kailun glanced at Winnie, he didn’t understand why Winnie was so obsessed with the bed.

    To simplify it, it was like she would gain favorability if she slept in bed, and lose favorability if she slept on the floor.

    “Don’t look at me like that, I didn’t say I’d let you sleep on the floor.” Kailun said to Winnie.

    Winnie: “Oh~”

    [Winnie is skeptical, she plans to verify it again at night, favorability remains unchanged]

    Hmm, Winnie was defying him today, he remembered that.

    “But if you don’t let Winnie sleep on the floor, how can you let her accompany me?” Chrissy blew gently on Kailun’s ear.

    Kailun: “Don’t ask, if you ask, I will tie you to the bedside and hang you up, then let Winnie sleep next to the bed and collect holy water.”

    Chrissy: “That sounds good, I want to try it.”

    Kailun: “…….”

    She was really completely broken, the kind that couldn’t be repaired.

    “Whoosh!”

    In the night, a blue signal flare rose from Kailun’s camp, exploding in the sky and scattering blue light.

    “Boom!”

    With the explosion of the signal flare, the fifty magic cannons lined up opposite the capital began a new round of salvos.

    In the next half hour, Kailun would consume tens of thousands of gold coins worth of magic crystals again.

    If the war lost its explosiveness, there would be no atmosphere.

    Only more violent artillery fire could make the other party believe in his determination to attack.

    After half an hour of continuous bombardment, Kailun would let the army advance from three sides.

    In terms of troops, Kailun had nearly 100,000 people, while the Kingdom of Malaga only had 65,000 people. The difference in number between the two sides was not small, and the difference in quality was also not small.

    Coupled with the continuous output of the magic cannons, the time for Kailun to break through the city would be greatly shortened.

    In order not to be harvested by Kailson on a large scale, the army was divided into small teams. This approach would indeed increase the time to break through the city and reduce efficiency.

    But Kailun didn’t expect the magic cannons and the soldiers to break through the city. What really played a role were the internal agents in the city.

    It wasn’t until the last red signal flare went up that the general attack would really begin. The first two were just preparatory signals.

    As the time for the feint attack approached, Kailun drove Afra and the others into the mobile palace and activated the magic shield of the mobile palace.

    The only ones left outside were him and Saint Chrissy, and a few teams of guarding knights.

    However, the knights were standing closer to the battlefield, so Kailun’s rear was completely undefended, making it seem as if he was extremely arrogant.

    To make it look more realistic, he put a decorative collar on Chrissy and casually wrapped a rope around her wrist a few times.

    After making her sit on the dirty grass, Kailun looked towards the capital in the distance.

    He was at the rear of the army, and because he had pressed all his troops forward, the rear looked empty and gave people a sense of isolation.

    Such a tempting arrangement, let alone Kailson, even he would be tempted.

    This was the best opportunity to capture him.

    “Whoosh!”

    Another blue signal flare exploded in the sky.

    As the feint attack approached, the sky had already darkened, leaving only a sliver of sunset in the distance.

    Kailun’s army began to charge towards the capital. Although the frequency of the magic cannons’ firing had decreased, it never stopped.

    The mages standing on the city wall gritted their teeth. If it weren’t for the king and Justin standing behind them to supervise the battle, they might have already abandoned the city and fled.

    An army of 150,000 couldn’t defeat 100,000, so how could they win with only half the number of people now?

    It was said that an eighth-rank mage would come to support them, but could they really hold on for that long?

    Amidst their doubts, the mages continuously released magic to resist the advance of the army below the city.

    ……

    “Hmph, a mere Saint dares to secretly write letters to pass on information, do you want to die?”

    On the other side, Kailun had already started fishing. In order to make this fishing activity more interesting, he even started acting with Chrissy.

    He believed in Isabella’s divination, and he also believed in his own judgment. Combined with the wrong information he had given the Holy Son these past few days, Kailson should firmly believe in his trump card.

    If Kailson was cautious enough and didn’t choose to strike directly, he could also use the Saint as bait.

    Kailson was rational, but the Holy Son was not.

    He would directly put the Saint in front of the battle formation, and he didn’t believe that the Holy Son wouldn’t be impulsive.

    “Bastard, you will regret it, the Temple of the Heavenly God will not let you go!”

    In order to cooperate with Kailun’s acting, Chrissy returned to her original personality.

    She cursed Kailun with hatred, her proud face as holy as ever.

    Damn it, seeing Chrissy like this, Kailun couldn’t help but want to bully her even more.

    Taking out the last signal stick, Kailun poked it at Chrissy’s pretty face and said, “You still dare to be arrogant with me? Do you know that you are a prisoner now? If you say one more word, I will tear off your clothes and take you right here, right now!”

    Hearing this, a flash of excitement flashed in Chrissy’s eyes: “Bastard, you have the guts to do what you say, if you don’t, you’re not a man.”

    Kailun: “…….”

    Sensing the change in Kailun’s eyes, Chrissy immediately changed her words: “You will definitely pay a heavy price for your actions, you will definitely be tied up and cut by a thousand knives for a hundred years. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go. I will entangle you day and night and drain all your energy.”

    “Shut up, you fool, a hundred years? I can make you wish you were dead right now.”

    Kailun viciously stuffed the signal stick, which was the size of a wooden stick, into Chrissy’s mouth.

    Because Kailun had wrapped a layer of red cloth around it, it wasn’t dirty.

    The only problem was that it was too thin, Chrissy was not satisfied, the signal stick in her mouth couldn’t satisfy her desire.

    As expected, she only liked things that belonged to Kailun.

    However, in order to cooperate with Kailun’s acting, she still made a “wuwuwu” sound of humiliation.

    “Bastard, let go of Chrissy, I’m going to kill you!”

    A minute later, Holy Son Joseph ran over from afar, along with Paul and Harry.

    Where was Kailson?

    Kailun ignored the Holy Son, he looked around but didn’t find Kailson.

    “I told you to let go of Chrissy, didn’t you hear me?”

    The Holy Son was burning with anger. In just a few seconds, he rushed to a place ten meters in front of Kailun. Judging from his speed, he was very outstanding among the seventh-ranks. No wonder he alone provided him with a large number of attribute points.

    Glancing at the mobile palace behind him, Kailun noticed that Afra and the others were peeking outside through the window.

    He stuffed the signal stick deeper into Chrissy’s mouth, grabbed her neck with his hand, and lifted her up from the ground: “Are you threatening me?”

    His actions seemed rough, but it was actually Chrissy who stood up on her own initiative. He didn’t use any force at all, and the hand that landed on her neck only pinched gently.

    In order to further stimulate the Holy Son, Kailun also pulled Chrissy into his arms, leaned close to her hair and took a deep sniff: “So fragrant.”

    “Wuwuwu~”

    Chrissy looked at the Holy Son with great humiliation and squeezed out a few drops of holy water skillfully.

    “Ahhh! I’m going to kill you!”

    Seeing this scene, the Holy Son could only be furious. He wanted to rush over and kick Kailun’s head, but before that, Kailun would definitely break Chrissy’s neck first.

    In fact, after confirming that Kailun’s army was pressing forward, they immediately teleported to a small hill in the distance, but they didn’t rush over immediately because Kailson needed some time to set up an epic magic.

    This time, it was about a minute ago.

    In people’s perception, eighth-rank was epic, and ninth-rank was legendary.

    Unable to bear it any longer, the Holy Son abandoned Kailson, who was casting the Great Silence Spell, and ran over. His eyes were bloodshot.

    The Chrissy he didn’t even dare to approach was now being treated so roughly by Kailun, his mentality directly exploded.

    That was his favorite person!

    Holy Son Joseph clenched his fist: “Ahhh! I’m going to kill you!”

    Paul, who was running behind, suddenly felt that this scene was familiar. He seemed to have experienced it before, and more than once.

    So he looked at the Holy Son’s back with pity in his eyes, like someone who had been through it all.

    This was nothing!

    If it was Kailun, he would definitely do this and then that, he was very familiar with it.

    Inexplicably, Paul was a little proud. He felt that he had surpassed the legendary Holy Son in some aspects.

    Harry, who was watching from afar, was even more worried about Kailun’s expression.

    It was still the same Kailun, still the same devilish smile…

    [The furious Holy Son Joseph said that he would definitely cut you into a thousand pieces. Favorability -5, Total favorability -75]

    The hospitable Holy Son seemed to be worried that Kailun’s attribute points were not enough, so he gave him another large sum.

    “I lick~” Seeing that the effect was good, Kailun licked Chrissy’s delicate face in front of the Holy Son.

    Chrissy: “Ugh!”

    Chrissy shed more holy water, but this time it was not from the corners of her eyes but from the corners of her mouth.

    The first time she was licked like this by Kailun, her legs immediately went weak and she almost fell into Kailun’s arms.

    If it weren’t for the sake of continuing to cooperate with Kailun’s acting, she would have asked Kailun to lick her a few more times.

    Well, preferably every part of her body.

    Holy Son Joseph: “!!!”

    [The furious Holy Son Joseph said that he would definitely cut you into a thousand pieces. Favorability -5, Total favorability -80]

  • As a villain, I just want them to behave 100p1

    Chapter 100: A Familiar Scene p1

    In order to confuse the enemy, Kailson secretly left the conspicuous mobile palace with the Holy Son the day before.

    At noon, he and the Holy Son had already entered the capital of Malaga.

    Justin, Paul, and the others were only ten hours ahead of him, and at this time, both sides were discussing their next plan in the council hall.

    “Boom!”

    The magic cannons continuously bombarded the capital, and everyone could feel the earth tremble.

    However, this violent bombardment came and went quickly, stopping after only half an hour.

    After confirming that the magic shield was still functioning normally, the king, who was sitting on the side, let out a long sigh of relief.

    “Fortunately, fortunately, if their bombardment lasted all day, I estimate that all our magic crystals would have to be put in. Just the amount we put in during this period of time is almost 50,000 to 60,000 gold coins.”

    The thought of the consumption of magic crystals made him unable to breathe.

    This was all money, all the money he had saved behind the back of the Temple of the Heavenly God.

    However, he didn’t know that he was in pain, but Kailun was in even more pain.

    After all, in Kailun’s opinion, the money of the Kingdom of Malaga was his money, and consuming the inventory of the Kingdom of Malaga was consuming his little treasury.

    Kailson, who was sitting in the first seat, looked at the obese middle-aged king and said, “Don’t worry about the current losses, everything you lose will be taken back from the Kingdom of Xiya. But I am very doubtful about your work attitude. First of all, as a king, what do you mean by only gathering 40,000 troops?”

    “This can’t be blamed on me. You don’t know, anyone with a little bit of strength has joined the Temple of the Heavenly God to dedicate themselves. Only some people with average ability have joined the kingdom’s army. But I didn’t expect that Justin, with the strength of the whole country, not only didn’t win, but also lost more than 100,000 people. This is simply a great shame.”

    The obese king said sarcastically.

    In fact, he was also a member of the Temple of the Heavenly God, but unlike Justin, he was a non-staff member, and his status was lower than Justin’s.

    Now that he had found an opportunity to attack Justin, he naturally wouldn’t be soft-hearted.

    “Ah, this…”

    Justin, who was sitting opposite the king, was stunned. He quickly stood up and patted the table: “Can this be blamed on me? Who knew why Kailun had so many magic cannons! Fifty! A full fifty! Do you know how much damage these magic cannonballs can cause when they land in the middle of an army? You haven’t been on the battlefield, you don’t understand at all!”

    In order to reduce his own responsibility, Justin naturally exaggerated the power of the magic cannons and Kailun. Only in this way could his failure seem more reasonable.

    If the Holy Son wasn’t here, he could still shift the blame to the Saint.

    But since the Holy Son was sitting here, he couldn’t shift the blame to the Saint, otherwise he would be beaten.

    In terms of strength, the Holy Son, who was also at the seventh rank, was much stronger than him.

    “Harry, come and judge, why did we lose in the first place?” Saying that, Justin pulled Harry, who was sitting next to him, up.

    The more people there were to share the blame, the better, otherwise his position as the archbishop in blue would not be guaranteed.

    Harry secretly stepped on Justin’s foot under the table and said, “This matter really can’t be blamed on Justin, he has already done his best. If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the magic cannons, we would have won this war with an absolute advantage.”

    He didn’t mention a word about being surrounded by cavalry.

    The former could still be excused, but the latter was really his own mistake.

    Paul, who was sitting in a remote corner, secretly glanced at Kailson and quickly lowered his head. The other party gave him a huge sense of oppression. Now he couldn’t even look directly at Kailson.

    “You are all damned. Not only did you abandon the Saint and flee, but now you are all shirking responsibility. Especially you, Justin, you refused my order, so where are the followers you gathered? You said it was 50,000 people before, why is half of them still not here after the war has started?”

    Holy Son Joseph almost pointed at Justin’s nose and cursed.

    Three days had passed. If he hadn’t been able to receive magic messages from the Saint from time to time, he would have even suspected that the Saint had been turned into someone else’s shape.

    Although he could still accept the Saint, there was always a knot in his heart.

    “This…” Justin was speechless.

    The remaining 50,000 followers did only come halfway. The people under him were used to being lazy. After hearing that the 150,000 troops on the front line had been completely wiped out, many people directly ran away and left the Kingdom of Malaga.

    They chose freedom over being cannon fodder.

    After all, the contracts they signed with Justin all hinted at freedom. Their only loss was that they wouldn’t be able to make any progress for a few years.

    “Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. What you should consider is how to make amends for your crimes.”

    Kailson, who was sitting in the first seat, interrupted their conversation. He put down the magic scroll in his hand and said, “Judging from the current situation, the Kingdom of Xiya has only used the magic cannons for a preliminary test and has not shown any signs of a direct attack. They want to wear us down and we will wear them down. Believe me, they are more anxious than us. After all, my mobile palace is already on the way and is expected to arrive at the capital tomorrow.”

    In Kailson’s plan, Kailun should launch a general attack before his mobile palace arrived, after all, the existence of an eighth-rank could completely affect the course of the war.

    So this was also what he couldn’t understand. Since he knew that he was already on his way to the Kingdom of Malaga, why did Kailun still choose to attack?

    He had seen a lot of information about Kailun: strategic, ruthless, greedy for money and lustful… these all described him.

    Kailson couldn’t connect these words to one person, he always felt that something was strange.

    Logically speaking, after getting so much information, he should be more cautious.

    He should have guessed that the other party had the means to deal with an eighth-rank… Not likely!

    No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible. What was an eighth-rank? It was a height that a person could only reach after decades of continuous study and research from childhood to adulthood.

    Did the Kingdom of Xiya have enough inheritance and knowledge?

    No, they had nothing. In this world where the upper class constantly blocked the lower class, the Kingdom of Xiya simply didn’t have the possibility of giving birth to an eighth-rank.

    An eighth-rank mage not only had the skills to chant instantly, but also could release powerful magic. Even the extremely demanding teleportation magic was at their fingertips.

    This was the confidence that the eighth-rank brought him. Kailson couldn’t find any possibility of losing.

    “According to my estimation, the decisive battle will start tonight or tomorrow morning. At that time, you will be responsible for the defense of the capital, and I will take the Holy Son to outflank the enemy. Capture the thief first and capture the king. As long as we capture Kailun, the 100,000 troops will have to surrender obediently. After the victory, we can not only get fifty magic cannons, but also let the Kingdom of Malaga annex the Kingdom of Xiya. Don’t forget the instructions of His Holiness the Pope before his retreat, the Kingdom of Xiya is a must-have, we can’t give it to anyone else.”

    Feeling a little itchy, Kailson opened the magic book again. Magic was still good. If it weren’t for the sake of seeking some benefits for his descendants, why would he bother with these trivial matters?

    “That… can you take me with you when you sneak attack Kailun?” Paul, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his hand timidly and asked.

    Compared to a man, he looked more like a young girl at this moment.

    The longer he spent with Harry, the more he was violated by the other party, the more Paul found himself changing.

    As of now, both his body and mind could not leave Harry.

    “Are you crazy? Do you know what you’re doing? You still dare to stand in front of Kailun at this point? He is a devil, aren’t you afraid that he still has a backhand?”

    Harry was immediately anxious. He quickly pressed Paul’s shoulder and told him to calm down.

    “No, I can’t escape anymore. If I continue to escape, I will never be able to face him. He snatched my sister, he snatched my aunt, he snatched the girl I liked the most, he used despicable means to snatch them all away from me.”

    Paul shook his head painfully: “I want to see Kailun being caught with my own eyes. I don’t believe he has the means to resist an eighth-rank. I am willing to believe Master Kailson, so please let me go with you to witness this scene!”

    “Good! Ambitious!”

    Before Harry could agree, Kailson laughed loudly: “That’s right. A small country without even an eighth-rank has scared you all into cowering like this. What a shame! I’ll tell you, I’ll cover you today, Kailun won’t be able to touch a hair on your head.”

    “Thank you, Master Kailson, for your kindness!” Paul bowed to Kailson.

    “Sigh, in that case, I’ll go with you too. I just hope that Kailun doesn’t have so many schemes this time.”

    When he said these words, Harry’s heart beat uneasily.

    Wasn’t this like an inescapable cycle?

    It was like this in the Kingdom of Xiya, it was like this when the two armies were at war, and it was like this when the decisive battle in the Kingdom of Malaga was about to happen.

    Every time it looked like an absolute advantage, but every time they were played by Kailun.

    Even if he told Kailson his guess, the other party wouldn’t believe him, after all, it was just his guess.

    The familiar sense of déjà vu deeply touched his heart. He wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a helpless sigh.

    He was willing to leave the choice entirely to Paul, because he saw Paul growing constantly.

    If there was an accident, he would protect Paul.

    To ensure safety, he would prepare several precious teleportation scrolls before setting off.

    Even if there was an accident, they could still escape.

    For safety reasons, the anchor point of this teleportation could not be set in the city, it was best to set it outside the city, so as to effectively prevent them from being trapped after losing.

    Right, he also had to write down the subsequent plan and give it to Paul, so that he wouldn’t lose his way in case of an accident.

  • As a villain, I just want them to behave 99

    Chapter 99: The Culture of Involution

    “The Kingdom of Xiya’s first encounter with the Temple of the Heavenly God resulted in a major victory, and our magic cannons played a crucial role. Kailun is even more intelligent than I expected. After analyzing some intelligence, this person is worthy of our attention.”

    In the grand hall of the Rose Kingdom, the Rose Queen looked down at the several people below after reading the latest intelligence scroll.

    Compared to the still somewhat immature Princess Hilna, the Rose Queen was a completely ripe fruit. Her voluptuous and beautiful figure gave people a visual feedback of fullness but not excessive fullness.

    A long red dress wrapped around her alluring body, and the golden rose pattern on her waist shimmered.

    Standing here at this moment were the important nobles and ministers of the Rose Kingdom. They participated in most of the Rose Queen’s plans.

    “Your Majesty, why don’t we take advantage of the emptiness of the Kingdom of Xiya’s defenses and launch a surprise attack on their rear, catching them off guard.”

    The person who made the suggestion was Duke Pit, who was once a noble of the Kingdom of Xiya and later defected to the Rose Queen with his family and assets.

    By relying on some less-than-honorable means and his abilities, he had made great achievements in a very short period of time and was exceptionally promoted to duke.

    If Paul were here, he would recognize that this Duke Pit was the one who bullied his mother.

    Due to Duke Pit’s power and status, Paul in his previous life once deceived himself and put the hatred for his mother behind him.

    If someone mentioned something that harmed his interests, he would use his dead mother to describe how difficult his childhood was.

    Just a few days ago, Duke Pit wanted to make some achievements behind the Rose Queen’s back to please her, so he sent two of his sixth-rank confidants to attack Kailun’s base camp, wanting to take hostages to threaten him.

    But more than a day had passed since the operation, and he hadn’t received any feedback.

    As expected, something unexpected must have happened.

    He didn’t intend to tell the Rose Queen about this matter. It would be fine if it was successful, but if it wasn’t successful, it would be embarrassing to say it out loud.

    The Rose Queen looked at Duke Pit: “No, we have signed a peace treaty for a period of one month. During this period, we cannot send troops to the Kingdom of Xiya. The most important thing is that we don’t have enough troops. Before we deal with the Kingdoms of Madden and Kaz, we can’t spare any more troops to attack the Kingdom of Xiya.”

    Duke Pit didn’t intend to give up. He took a step closer and looked up at the Rose Queen ten meters away: “Your Majesty, you can let me gather the private soldiers in the hands of the nobles. If we unite, we should be able to gather 45,000 people. As for the treaty, you don’t have to worry. We can temporarily leave the Rose Kingdom and participate in the war as free people.”

    Most of the nobles had sent troops to the war against the Kingdoms of Madden and Kaz, but the nobles were conservative after all. Even if they contributed, they would still retain a part of their strength for self-protection.

    In Duke Pit’s view, the remaining part of the force was the part he could mobilize.

    If he succeeded, he would not only gain support, but he could also use this opportunity to tie the nobles together and let himself step on them to a higher level.

    In this way, he would have the ability to talk to the Rose Queen on an equal footing.

    The Rose Queen on the throne narrowed her eyes. She seemed to have guessed Pit’s intentions. She didn’t hide her thoughts too much.

    This was a game, a game of trust.

    After thinking for a moment, the Rose Queen switched to her other arm to support her head: “I believe in your ability, but before I trust you, you have to tell me how you plan to take down Eternal Fortress. This is a nail on our neck. If we can’t take it down, we can’t attack. You’re not going to tell me to attack by force, are you? Duke Kuhl of the Kingdom of Xiya has sent heavy troops to defend it. Even 40,000 to 50,000 people may not be able to achieve any results.”

    Duke Pit sighed: “It is certainly very difficult to attack by force. I have made other attempts before, but they all failed. If you are willing to trust me, I will try again.”

    The Rose Queen didn’t ask about Duke Pit’s attempts. She glanced at everyone and said, “Let’s put aside the matter of the Kingdom of Xiya for now. Now we have to talk about another matter. Because of the one million gold coins given by some kind people, we have more sufficient funds to make purchases. I plan to hand over this fund to you. According to your performance, you will receive different rewards.”

    As soon as she finished speaking, Duke Pit patted his chest, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, “Your Majesty, you can leave this task to me alone. Please believe me, even if it is one million gold coins, I can achieve the effect of 1.3 million gold coins. If I can’t, I will pay for the shortfall out of my own pocket.”

    “???”

    The other ministers all looked at Duke Pit in astonishment. This was clearly a blatant act of bribery.

    Instead of working hard to complete the task, it was better to just throw money at it.

    The Rose Queen patted the armrest of the throne and said, “Good! I admire Duke Pit’s consciousness. If everyone can learn from Duke Pit, our Rose Kingdom will surely become stronger.”

    “We understand.”

    The others could only respond with dark faces.

    Involution was a bad culture. They hated people like Duke Pit who liked to engage in involution.

    ……

    “What kind of business task do you think Kailun will arrange for us?”

    On the way back to the royal city under escort, Viscount Laurist couldn’t help but ask his wife.

    “How would I know? Isn’t the Rose Kingdom still at war with our kingdom? Do you think Kailun wants to use a knife to kill someone with?” Mrs. Laurist asked in a low voice.

    Viscount Laurist: “Knock on wood, knock on wood, don’t say such unlucky words. Since Winnie didn’t stop it, it means there is no danger. It’s just that I don’t understand why he would use us, and what does our country have that the Rose Kingdom urgently needs?”

    Mrs. Laurist said with a worried look, “I don’t understand, I just want to know if our daughter is doing well.”

    “Don’t overthink it. If our daughter was really not doing well, why would Kailun give me the title of earl?”

    He looked back at the receding mobile palace: “Maybe it’s a good choice to let her follow Kailun, at least it’s better than that so-called Paul. Didn’t you hear before? That Paul is very promiscuous in private. He is a famous male favorite under the Second Prince and is deeply loved by the archbishop of the Temple of the Heavenly God. Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking that our daughter once liked such a person makes my scalp tingle.”

    Mrs. Laurist: “Is the Paul you’re talking about the young man we saw last night who was being held by the archbishop in blue?”

    Viscount Laurist: “Yes!”

    “Hearing you say that, I seem to be able to accept it.”

    …….

    [You rudely demanded Chrissy’s holy water, defiling the spring that produces it. The Saint Chrissy’s favorability towards you increased by 10, total favorability -65]

    Before lunch, Kailun deliberately exhausted himself physically, which would allow him to enjoy the food more.

    In order to prevent Chrissy from doing anything stupid, Kailun would tie her up and cover her with a quilt every time after they were done.

    After all, the little princesses often used his bathroom, and it was not good for them to see some things.

    “By the way, can you ask your people to do me a favor during this time?” During lunch, Kailun kindly picked up a chicken leg for Isabella.

    The latter suspected that the chicken leg was poisoned, so she carefully examined it before taking a small bite: “Tell me what you need our help with first, our Loya Ball charges are always very reasonable.”

    “Help me build momentum, create the illusion of a shortage of magic crystals in the short term.” Kailun said as he picked up another chicken leg for Afra.

    After thinking about it, he also picked up one for Little Princess Vivian.

    Looking at his empty plate, Kailun, who hadn’t eaten a chicken leg yet, snatched the chicken leg from Princess Hilna’s bowl, which she had only taken a bite of.

    Hilna: “…”

    She wanted to be angry, but she had forgotten what it was like to be angry.

    She was used to it, so be it.

    Isabella looked at Kailun seriously: “Magic crystals, doesn’t every country have reserves of this? You want to hype this up?”

    When talking about business, she didn’t look like a child at all. Looking at her seductive eyes, there was even a different feeling.

    The so-called magic crystals were a kind of special processed minerals that were widely used. They could not only provide the magic power needed by mages for their daily meditation, but also provide energy for weapons like magic cannons.

    When inscribing large magic circles, they were also an essential source of energy.

    Although magic crystals were important, they were also very common. Every mage had reserves, and they were considered strategic resources for a kingdom.

    Kailun nodded: “That’s right, that’s exactly what I’m thinking.”

    Isabella: “Are you sure?”

    She put down the chicken leg. In her opinion, although the consumption of magic crystals was huge, it was difficult to hype them up.

    “In the past, it was indeed difficult to raise the price of magic crystals, but it is different now. The nearby Rose Kingdom, Madden Kingdom, and Kaz Kingdom are all at war, and their daily consumption of magic crystals is astronomical. If this war continues, they will soon be in the embarrassing situation of insufficient reserves. As for purchasing magic crystals from outside, they need to go through the trade route of the Kingdom of Malaga. After all, these three kingdoms do not have large mines, and their magic crystals all rely on imports. As for who controls the trade route of the Kingdom of Malaga, isn’t it me?”

    After finishing the chicken leg in his bowl, Kailun snatched half of Winnie’s chicken leg.

    Compared to Princess Hilna, Winnie was much more generous. After her chicken leg was snatched away, she quickly searched for new food on the table.

    After experiencing extreme hunger, Winnie now had a tendency to become a foodie.

    Question: How to bleed the surrounding kingdoms without bloodshed?

    Answer: Through trade influence.

    The original Kingdom of Xiya was not strong in trade. First, the Kingdom of Xiya had no special products, and second, the high taxes and extremely low work efficiency.

    As for business, there were complicated operations involved. Kailun was only responsible for the macro-control, and the specific details were left to Philip and Ella.

    Ella, as the president of the new chamber of commerce, was in charge of the overall situation, while Philip was responsible for the implementation, mainly dealing with trade between countries. The two had different areas of work and did not have any contact.

    “You haven’t even taken down the Kingdom of Malaga yet, and you’re already thinking about what’s next? Have you never thought that you might fail?”

    Isabella unconsciously raised her voice.

    During the time she had known Kailun, not only did she realize what kind of pervert he was, but she also realized how amazing his strategy was.

    In her perception, Kailun was not so much crazy as he was mentally ill.

    “I’m not a god, of course there’s a possibility of failure. But whether I fail or not, if I don’t even think about it, if I don’t even try, then that’s the biggest failure. Besides, do you think I don’t have a backup plan? A cunning rabbit has three burrows, everything has more than one possibility.”

    Kailun’s face was indifferent, he poured a glass of milk for Carol and asked her to drink one more glass.

    He liked to scheme, and he also liked to be straightforward. The two were not contradictory.

    “I can agree to help you, but what about the reward?” Isabella wisely changed the subject.

    Kailun: “One to five percent of the total profit, depending on the effect. The estimated total profit is one million to four million gold coins, depending on how many kingdoms are affected.”

    “I agree, I will contact Jennice later and ask her to take someone to do it.”

    Isabella agreed directly. Don’t think that the profit was small, this was the total profit without deducting the cost.

    Just spreading some ambiguous news could earn tens of thousands of gold coins, this kind of harvest was like picking up money for free.

    For the Loya Ball, which had a complex intelligence network, it was many times easier to do this than Kailun.

    Moreover, doing such a thing would not affect the accuracy of their intelligence. After all, what did the casual words of the lower class have to do with their upper class?

    After briefly talking about hyping up the magic crystals, the table fell silent again.

    Kailun switched his target of bullying from Saint Chrissy to Princess Hilna, and once again launched an attack on Hilna from under the table.

    “Ugh!” Shirley suddenly looked up at Kailun with resentment.

    It wasn’t Hilna who reacted strangely, but Shirley the knight.

    Only then did Kailun realize that his angle was a little off, and the person he was bullying had changed from Hilna to Shirley.

    This was a bit of a bummer, after all, Shirley was wearing light knight armor, and he couldn’t kick anything.

    He had no choice but to change his position. This time, he did touch a leg wearing silk stockings, but it was a short leg.

    Little Princess Vivian: “…”

    She secretly clamped Kailun’s feet with her legs to prevent him from misbehaving. Why couldn’t this person sit still when he came to eat?

    Perhaps because she was used to it, Vivian’s favorability did not decrease because of Kailun’s outrageous behavior.

    The new possibility was locked, Kailun had no choice but to quiet down.

    It was all because he was too busy these days and didn’t have time to play with Vivian. The whip and candles he had envisioned were not used at all.

    He had said that he would repay the humiliation of being under her skirt in his previous life, but he changed his target before he even finished half of his revenge.

    However, it would have the same effect if he dealt with the older sister first and then the younger sister. Neither of them could escape.

    Feeling Kailun’s increasingly dangerous gaze, Vivian buried her head even lower. Isabella, who was beside her, couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she saw this.

    She didn’t know why, but seeing Vivian deflated made her happy.

    But before she could be happy for two seconds, she met Carol’s cold gaze, so she lowered her head in fear.

    In just one minute, the food chain of Kailun’s family was clearly displayed.

    Kailun ate everything, Afra was above it all, Carol took the initiative, Isabella and Vivian followed closely behind.

    Shirley… forget it, let’s exclude her from the food category for the time being.

    The other three little knights, Eve and the others, were the dessert after the meal.

    Then there were Princess Hilna, Saint Chrissy, and Winnie. Although there were differences between the three, they were not obvious. If Winnie’s treatment had not been improved a little, she would be the one at the bottom.

    Since Princess Hilna and the others were so bad, let’s bully Winnie!

    “What did I do wrong again?” Sensing Kailun’s gaze, Winnie, who had become well-behaved, almost burst into tears.

    ……

    The daily life seemed to slip away quietly in the process of studying attributes and clocking in with the Saint. Because she could sleep in a soft bed, Winnie’s favorability increased linearly under the influence of mental pollution.

    As the influence intensified, she not only became more obedient, but also became more concerned about Kailun and would think for him.

    Perhaps this change was too sudden, so much so that Kailun hesitated for a while whether he should continue to bully her.

    If it was about repaying the debt, he had already made Winnie despair once, which could be considered a success.

    But her well-behaved appearance was so easy to bully, which made people very conflicted.

    Once conflicted, Kailun would take the initiative to shift his attention, target the Saint, and squeeze her value to the fullest, emptying her holy water.

    With Kailun’s efforts, the Saint’s favorability increased rapidly.

    Compared to other people, the Saint’s favorability was more morbid.

    She was constantly moving in the direction of a plush ball, and the more she ran, the faster she became. From the initial disgust and hatred to the later secret joy, this process only took one night.

    The next day, Kailun once again urged the kings of Madden and Kaz to pay the gold coins, but received their evasive excuses.

    So Kailun temporarily stopped the exercise with the Rose Kingdom, intending to put more pressure on them. This time, Kailun said that they didn’t have to pay in gold coins, they could pay in magic crystals and magic scrolls of equal value.

    The only difference was that the transportation route this time was changed to a more remote one.

    Kailun promised them that if they could successfully deliver these, he would tell them a key point that could change the situation of the war.

    Then he contacted Ella, Phils, and the others, informing them of what they should do next.

    Speaking of which, there didn’t seem to be any vases in his house. Even those dancers who could dance enchantingly could help Anna handle intelligence, which could be considered a great help.

    Phils was known as Princess Hilna’s little think tank in her previous life. She was very smart herself, but she was led astray by Princess Hilna.

    As for Ella, there was no need to mention her. The chamber of commerce was Kailun’s next focus, and handing over the chamber of commerce to Ella was his recognition of her ability.

    The future queen of commerce, this name was quite resounding.

    As for Princess Hilna, she was not needed for the time being. She could be used as a teacher for Phils later to help her deal with internal affairs.

    Little Princess… Forget it, let this little devil do whatever she wanted, it wasn’t like there was one more person eating at home.

    Carol was naturally the guarantee of future combat power, the biggest potential stock, and the most intimate little maid.

    If he hadn’t eaten her yet, Kailun would normally bring her along to let her continue to do things like changing his clothes and scrubbing his back.

    As for Winnie and the Saint, the former was a pet, and the latter was a plush ball, which, if used well, could be a strategic weapon to threaten the Temple of the Heavenly God.

    Time came to noon on the third day, Kailun, who had just finished clocking in, had pushed the Saint’s favorability to 70.

    Although it might not seem very high, the intimacy she showed was much higher than Anna’s.

    As soon as she finished harvesting, she lay on Kailun’s body naked and licked his neck intimately, like a kitten currying favor with its owner.

    Perhaps this was the disadvantage of instilling mental pollution in the same way for a long time. The Saint was not only completely defiled, but also really became a plush ball.

    In front of outsiders, the once proud and holy Saint still existed.

    But when she returned home and faced Kailun, she couldn’t help but lie on the ground and wag her tail, begging for mercy, and consciously turned her back to Kailun, raising her perky buttocks.

    She was thoroughly broken, and it would take some time for her to return to a normal state.

    “Stop licking, it’s all saliva, I’ll have to take a bath later.” Kailun ran his hand through her golden hair and patted her smooth back.

    “No, you turned me into this, you have to be responsible~”

    Something like love flashed in her eyes.

    Her mind was filled with desire, she wanted to be entangled with Kailun forever.

    She liked extreme pleasure, she wanted to climb the transparent peak, she wanted to lean back and sing freely, she wanted to be grabbed by the hair and played with wantonly.

    Of course, the only person she recognized was Kailun, not even Afra.

    “If the people of the Temple of the Heavenly God knew that their Saint was actually such a lustful existence, they would probably go crazy, right?”

    Looking at the soft and warm beauty in his arms, Kailun couldn’t help but smile.

    Her face looked so holy, but the love in her eyes was completely overflowing, just like the milk flowing from between her legs to the sheets.

    “They can’t see me like this, I’ll only show you, do you like it?”

    Chrissy with only 70 favorability gave Kailun the illusion that her favorability exceeded 100. It was strange, like a morbid love. He didn’t know what she would be like when it reached 100.

    This sounded a wake-up call for Kailun. Rough behavior could only solve the problem temporarily. If he wanted to solve it permanently, the best way was to take it step by step, just like Winnie.

    As of now, Winnie’s favorability had reached -20.

    “Of course I like it, how could anyone not like such a tempting plush ball? When you see the Holy Son later, you can perform well, remember to be more intimate, okay?” Kailun replied honestly.

    Although Chrissy’s current state was very strange, her temptation was real.

    Even though he had made many attempts in the past two days, he was still interested in Chrissy’s body.

    Especially her pair of unparalleled long legs, Kailun wasted a lot of mental pollution on them, otherwise Chrissy’s favorability would be even higher.

    “Get up, we have arrived at the capital of Malaga, the fifty magic cannons are ready to fire on their capital.”

    Estimating the time, Kailun patted her shoulder again.

    “It’s okay, didn’t you say that today’s decisive battle is at night? There’s nothing good to see in the current exercise. Instead of firing at them, why don’t you fire at me?”

    Chrissy’s eyes were like silk, and there was a deep longing in them.

    Kailun glanced at her legs: “But you’re already full.”

    “It doesn’t matter, I’m willing to accommodate anything that belongs to you, and you can change targets, can’t you?”

    Chrissy pointed to her mouth and crawled down towards Kailun’s lower body.

    ……

    “Boom!”

    Outside the capital, fifty magic cannons fired in unison, and magic cannonballs worth hundreds of millions of copper coins (that is, tens of thousands of gold coins) landed on the gate of the capital.

    The magic shield of the capital of the Kingdom of Malaga shook for a while, and with a rumbling sound, it finally swallowed all the artillery fire.

  • As a villain, I just want them to behave 98p2

    Chapter 98: The Senior is Brilliant p2

    Back in the mobile palace, the army set off again. It was estimated that they would be able to reach the capital of Malaga in two days.

    Thanks to Justin’s generosity, he was able to reach his destination faster without the resistance along the way.

    Kailun could guess what the other party was thinking. First, they would gather their forces to defend, second, they would wait for the support of the Holy Son and Kailson, and third, they would stretch his front line and cut off the subsequent supplies.

    This was the most likely scenario, and also the one that Kailun cared the least about. Taking down the capital in three days was no joke.

    He didn’t need a so-called war of attrition. That kind of thing was not suitable for him, and he couldn’t afford it.

    Based on the time, Steward Roden and the captain of the First Knights should be able to arrive at the capital of Malaga in advance and sneak in.

    In fact, they immediately set off with their teams after yesterday’s battle, in order to create a time difference.

    It was no exaggeration to say that they could even reach the capital faster than Justin and the others. If they really fought, they would be the ones responsible for opening the door and destroying the city.

    For the sake of secrecy, only a thousand people participated in this operation, the elite of the elite. When the time came, they would cleverly integrate into the capital and become a part of it.

    Thinking ten steps ahead, a hundred steps ahead, this was what a strategist should do.

    Personally going to the battlefield to fight and kill was too boring, of course, except for situations where he could kill instantly.

    After all, as a first-rank mage, Kailun had always had a dream of taking the enemy general’s head among a million soldiers.

    It was a pity that the inheritance of melee mages had been cut off, otherwise there would be many mages in the world who would “stray from the right path”.

    “I’m hungry, can you give me something to eat?”

    As soon as he entered the mobile palace, Kailun heard Shirley’s weak voice. It turned out that she had been tied up for a whole night.

    Kailun walked up to her, untied the rope on her body, and said speechlessly, “Is it possible that you can break free from the rope with your own strength?”

    Shirley was stunned: “Eh? It seems that I really can.”

    She was not wearing a magic-suppressing collar by Kailun, and her physical strength was not restricted at all.

    Shirley suddenly realized that ever since she met Kailun, she had become less and less willing to think.

    Anyway, it was useless to think about anything, it was better to just empty her mind and be in a daze.

    “So, where’s your brain?!” Kailun tapped his finger on Shirley’s smooth forehead, exasperated.

    If she was a little smarter, she would be fully capable of commanding an army of about 10,000 knights, but now she was probably only capable of leading a team to charge mindlessly.

    She was basically useless.

    Sighing, Kailun once again lowered his requirements for Shirley in his heart. It was also a kind of wisdom not to have too high expectations for a fool.

    “Um, can you let the princess out? She hasn’t eaten for a day.” Seeing that Kailun was about to leave, Shirley hurriedly ran over and grabbed his hand.

    “Thud!”

    Because her movement was too big, the apple hidden in her clothes fell out.

    Both of their gazes fell on the apple on the ground, and the atmosphere became silent.

    Shirley took a step to the left and covered the apple with her body.

    “Just so you know, apples can’t fill your stomach. In many cases, they will only make you hungrier.” Kailun walked around Shirley and picked up the apple on the ground.

    If it wasn’t for Shirley’s reminder, he would have almost forgotten that Princess Hilna was still locked in her room.

    Judging from the time, the effects of the medicine on Princess Hilna had worn off, which was a pity.

    “I’ll go see Princess Hilna, you go find something to eat yourself.” Kailun took the apple and waved at Shirley.

    The latter wanted to follow Kailun in, but after being glared at by him, she behaved herself.

    He unlocked the door with the key, and after entering the room, Kailun locked the door behind him.

    He glanced around the room and saw that Princess Hilna was already asleep on the bed.

    Sleeping was not a problem, but where was the bed sheet?

    He looked around and finally saw the bed sheet by the small window. It seemed to be wet and hadn’t dried yet.

    He sniffed carefully, and a strange smell filled the air.

    It couldn’t be said to be familiar, but it could only be said to be very familiar, almost the same smell as a certain special holy water.

    Kailun: “…”

    Thinking of what happened last night and the candy that Hilna ate, Kailun quickly got the answer. It turned out that he was the culprit.

    Sitting on the bed without the sheet with the apple in his hand, Kailun watched as Hilna got closer and looked at her.

    Her red hair covered most of her face, and Kailun brushed her hair to her ear.

    She had impeccable features, a face as white as snow, and red, alluring lips.

    Her mouth was slightly open, and she was breathing gently. Through the gap between her lips, one could still see her pearly white teeth.

    She was indeed a very beautiful woman, especially when she was quiet, she didn’t seem so annoying anymore.

    He put the apple to her mouth and touched her red lips. Kailun watched as she gradually opened her eyes.

    She was a little dazed when she first woke up, but she instantly regained her senses when she saw Kailun.

    Kailun put the apple in front of her: “I heard that you haven’t eaten all day, so I brought you an apple. If you want to sleep, eat it and then sleep.”

    “Hmm.”

    Hilna responded softly and took the apple.

    She sat up from the bed, tidied up her clothes briefly, and looked at Kailun uneasily.

    “By the way, what’s wrong with the sheet?” Kailun asked, pretending not to understand.

    Hilna lowered her head and explained, “I accidentally knocked over the cup when I was drinking water, and accidentally spilled it on the bed.”

    “Oh, so that’s what happened. I thought you wet the bed, sorry.” Kailun clapped his hands.

    Hearing this, Hilna lowered her head even more, her fingernails almost digging into the apple.

    “The main reason I came to you this time is to tell you good news.” Kailun sat down next to Hilna, pretending to be intimate.

    He sat close to Hilna, shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip. A kind of intimacy she had never felt before made Hilna unable to figure out what Kailun was doing, and she felt even more flustered.

    “What?” She asked along with Kailun’s words.

    “While you were locking yourself in your room, we had already won our first victory, killing more than 20,000 people from the Temple of the Heavenly God, and capturing more than 120,000 people. And we picked up a Saint along the way. The one who screamed the loudest last night was her.”

    Kailun dropped a bombshell.

    Hilna: “!!!”

    Not to mention the great victory they had achieved, this devil not only captured the Saint of the Temple, but also did such a thing, was he crazy?

    Thinking of the future revenge of the Temple of the Heavenly God, Hilna trembled with fear.

    It’s over, this time the Kingdom of Xiya was really finished.

    The Temple of the Heavenly God cared so much about face, if they knew that their Saint had been defiled by the enemy, they would definitely go crazy.

    “Aren’t you excited? It’s okay, this is just the beginning. We have already arrived in the territory of the Kingdom of Malaga, and in two days we will be able to reach the capital and take down the entire Kingdom of Malaga. After that, we will march westward, fighting as we go, and eventually defeat the Temple of the Heavenly God.”

    Kailun described his plan, half-truthfully.

    Hearing Kailun’s bold words, Hilna hugged her head in pain.

    In her opinion, Kailun must be crazy, doing so was tantamount to courting death.

    It was the top forces that determined the world order, and the Kingdom of Xiya, a country that couldn’t even produce an eighth-rank, how dare he challenge the Temple of the Heavenly God?

    Hilna had never thought of provoking the Temple of the Heavenly God. In her previous plan, she only dared to threaten Harry with poison and did not intend to kill him.

    However, Kailun’s behavior was tantamount to plucking hair from the Pope’s head.

    “Don’t do this, okay? I beg you, you can do whatever you want to me, don’t harm the entire Kingdom of Xiya because of this, those civilians are innocent. You are too crazy, you will harm everyone, the Temple of the Heavenly God is too strong, no one can resist them, I beg you to give up.”

    Hilna put down the apple and hugged Kailun’s arm.

    “No, why should I listen to you? And what’s the difference between what I did and what you did? In other words, Princess, have you really considered the lives of those civilians?”

    Kailun pinched Hilna’s cheek with a smile: “I really hate you, I hate your ruthlessness in the past when you only cared about your own interests, and I hate your hypocrisy after losing everything. Should I expose you? You don’t care about the lives of those people, you are just finding an excuse for yourself so that you don’t look too defeated after your downfall. Oh! The princess who sacrificed herself for the country and the people! You still can’t forget your identity, you still maintain the pride of a high and mighty princess.”

    In Kailun’s opinion, Hilna’s performance before and after was clearly contradictory.

    In her previous life, she acted willfully and caused many irreparable tragedies. The so-called civilians were nothing more than insignificant consumables. This was her after she became queen.

    Now, after her defeat, she cared about the civilians. Wasn’t this ridiculous?

    “You may not know, but under my leadership, the civilians you care about are living a better life. The trade that had fallen to freezing point has begun to improve. In a while, the Kingdom of Xiya will completely open up the trade route with the Kingdom of Malaga and become the center of the world. Yes, it will become the center of the whole world, the center of both humans and the abyss. I will let you see the gap between you and me, and I will show you everything you can’t do.”

    Kailun caressed Hilna’s smooth face and looked at the emotions hidden in her eyes.

    If he wanted to break Hilna’s heart, in addition to destroying her pride, he also had to tear apart the hypocritical golden body she had created for herself.

    Jealousy could drive a person crazy, and it could also drive a person to despair.

    No matter how deeply she hid her jealousy, Kailun would dig it out bit by bit.

    [I’m not, not hypocritical… Although Hilna kept denying it in her heart, she was still shaken. Favorability -1, Total favorability -99]

    “I’m not that kind of person.” She looked up at Kailun.

    “If you say you’re not, then you’re not.” Kailun didn’t choose to convince her.

    He picked up the apple that had fallen on the bed and put it in Hilna’s hand: “Eat well and don’t starve yourself. You are an important witness, and I don’t want you to miss out on the future. Do you understand?”

    He rubbed her head, and Kailun returned to his intimate appearance.

    “Hmm… Crunch~”

    Hilna took small bites of the apple, she was really hungry.

    The once-broken Winnie became well-behaved. It was unknown what the broken princess would become.

    Some people, instead of living, might as well be broken.

    ……

    “Kailson, can’t we go faster? Why do we have to stay in this mobile palace and move slowly?”

    In Kailson’s mobile palace, the Holy Son was pacing anxiously in the room.

    Last night, he received a message from the Saint, the content of which was very simple.

    [Saint: Save me, Kailun, that devil wants to bully me, their highest combat power is only seventh-rank, about three people. I don’t want to fall into his hands, I don’t want…]

    Because of the Saint’s message, he hadn’t slept all night, but Kailson was staying in the mobile palace, studying magic unhurriedly.

    Looking at Kailson who was studying the eighth-rank scroll, he said again: “And wouldn’t we be exposing our location by moving forward so swaggeringly?”

    Kailson was annoyed by the Holy Son, he patted the scroll on the table and said: “Remember to add ‘senior’ when you address me, you have to remember this. As for why I want to stay in the mobile palace, it is naturally to study magic. I will be heartbroken to the point of not being able to breathe if I waste a day, do you know that? I know about exposing our whereabouts, and that is what I want. Judging from the information sent back from the front line, the Kingdom of Xiya will have a war with the Kingdom of Malaga. Justin and the others chose to defend the capital, so the decisive battle will probably be in two or three days. When we get close to the Kingdom of Malaga, I will take you to leave alone with magic and speed up, catching them off guard.”

    Thinking of his perfect plan, Kailson smiled: “I bet that Kailun would never have thought that when his army pressed on, I would appear in his rear. At that time, not only can I let you personally rescue the Saint, but I can also disable that Kailun at close range and tie him up directly. What is this called? This is called the confidence of an eighth-rank. When you reach this realm in the future, you will understand how big the gap between eighth-rank and seventh-rank is.”

    Hearing this, the Holy Son’s eyes lit up: “Senior Kailson is brilliant, it was this junior who was impatient.”

  • As a villain, I just want them to behave 98p1

    Chapter 98: The Senior is Brilliant p2

    “This is Viscount and Viscountess Laurist, and this is Miss Winnie. I think you should be very familiar with each other, right?”

    Half an hour later, outside the mobile palace, Kailun suppressed a smile as he introduced everyone.

    The Laurist family stared at each other, looking embarrassed.

    Especially Winnie, she directly covered her pretty little face with her hands, really too ashamed to see anyone.

    She had asked her parents to take the family and flee, but they chose to flee to the Kingdom of Malaga.

    Even if they chose to flee to the Kingdom of Malaga, they were still unlucky enough to run into Kailun.

    How could this make sense?

    Forget it, Winnie decided to give up. Anyway, life couldn’t get any worse, so she might as well just go with it.

    Tired, sleepy, might as well lie down and enjoy it.

    “Actually, we already know each other.” Viscount Laurist scratched his face awkwardly. “Winnie is my daughter. Didn’t you send an assassin to our house to propose marriage some time ago?”

    He knew that Kailun sincerely wanted to see them make a fool of themselves, so he had to go along with what Kailun said.

    Mrs. Laurist, who was standing aside, only dared to pull her husband’s sleeve and didn’t dare to say a word.

    Her eyes kept looking at her daughter, Winnie. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t open her mouth.

    “Oh, look at my memory. I actually forgot such an important matter. My bad, my bad.” Kailun patted his head and showed a apologetic expression.

    Just when Viscount Laurist thought that this matter could be brushed aside, Kailun suddenly asked, “I wonder why Viscount Laurist sneaked into the Kingdom of Malaga with his whole family. Could it be that you want to betray your country?”

    “No, absolutely not!”

    Hearing Kailun’s dangerous words, Viscount Laurist trembled all over and knelt down directly.

    But Kailun stepped forward and helped him up: “There’s no need to kneel. Although Winnie’s status at home is not high, she is still a member of my family. If you kneel down casually, she may not work seriously in the future.”

    In front of Winnie’s parents, Kailun symbolically saved some face for Winnie.

    Perhaps it was because of his actions that Winnie cast a surprised look at him through her fingers.

    [Winnie’s attitude towards you has changed. Favorability +5, Current total favorability -85]

    However, this special goodwill only lasted for a few seconds before she heard Kailun’s nonsense again.

    Kailun: “But let’s talk about the matter at hand. For this crime of treason, those who should be beheaded should be beheaded, and those who should be cut at the waist should be cut at the waist.”

    Hearing this, Viscount Laurist’s legs went weak. If Kailun hadn’t been holding him, he might have already collapsed on the ground.

    “Thump!”

    However, Winnie, who was standing next to Kailun, had no one to help her, and she fell straight to the ground in fright.

    Kailun wouldn’t really kill them all, would he?

    She grabbed Kailun’s trousers uneasily, wanting to beg for his mercy.

    Let alone resisting, as long as Kailun could let her family go, she would be willing to meet all of Kailun’s demands.

    Pushing Viscount Laurist to Mrs. Laurist’s side, Kailun reached out and pulled Winnie up from the ground: “Don’t panic, I didn’t say Viscount Laurist betrayed the country. Since he was able to raise such an obedient daughter as Winnie, I think Viscount Laurist will definitely not betray the country, right?”

    Viscount Laurist: “???”

    The tables had turned, he didn’t betray the country?

    Whether it was true or not, Viscount Laurist nodded repeatedly along with Kailun’s words: “Right, right, right, that’s right, we just took our family on a trip. We planned to come back after playing for a while. I didn’t expect that we would encounter an accident and have to come back.”

    “A trip, that’s easy. I wonder if Viscount Laurist would like to travel to the Rose Kingdom?” Kailun wrapped his arm around Winnie’s slender waist and let her lean against him to stand firm.

    “But, isn’t the Kingdom of Xiya still at war with the Rose Kingdom?” Viscount Laurist’s expression changed.

    Kailun: “Indeed, we are at war, but this does not prevent the friendly exchanges and cooperation between our two countries, at least not for the next month. If Viscount Laurist has any relevant ideas, I can promote you to the rank of Earl and let you cooperate with Philip, the shopkeeper of the Magic Shop. I need someone to do something special for me. I wonder if Viscount Laurist is willing to take on this task. If you do it well, I can promise you the title of Marquis.”

    Listening to Kailun’s words, Viscount Laurist became more and more confused. He looked at his daughter, Winnie, and found that she also had a confused look on her face.

    “This opportunity only comes once. If Viscount Laurist continues to hesitate, I can only give this good thing to Phils’ family.”

    Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Kailun urged again.

    Because there were limited people he could use, he had to keep arranging things downwards.

    Compared to those unfamiliar people, he was more willing to use these families whose weaknesses he had grasped.

    As long as Laurist’s family was kept in the royal city, he would not have the heart to rebel. If he could really handle the matters he had arranged, the benefits would easily allow him to accumulate the foundation of a marquis.

    Because she was nervous, Winnie subconsciously hugged Kailun’s arm.

    Experience told her that this man was full of bad intentions and could not be trusted, but her instincts told her that this was a good thing.

    “I… I agree!” Viscount Laurist hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and agreeing.

    At this point, he didn’t have many choices. Compared to being beheaded, he was more willing to gamble.

    If he succeeded, he would bring honor to his ancestors and enjoy glory for generations. The title of marquis was a temptation he could not refuse.

    “A wise choice. I will have someone escort you and your family back to the royal city later, and then Shopkeeper Philip will contact you. Now you can make preparations. Don’t worry about Winnie’s safety. Although I am not a good person, I will not hurt her.”

    Kailun turned his head and asked Winnie with a smile, “Am I right, Winnie?”

    “Ah? Oh, yes, that’s right.”

    Winnie, who had just come back to her senses, nodded. She looked at the Laurist couple and said, “You guys go quickly, I eat well, drink well, sleep well… sleep well here, so you don’t have to worry about me. We had some misunderstandings before and our relationship wasn’t very good, but now we’ve talked it through and everyone is fine.”

    Afraid that her parents would worry, Winnie explained a little more.

    Although Mrs. Laurist was very worried about her daughter, she left with Viscount Laurist after his persuasion.

    The next step of the plan was about to begin, and Kailun didn’t have time to keep Mrs. Laurist here to reminisce with her daughter. They needed a lot of time to complete the task.

    The family of a viscount was barely enough. After all, this was not a war but a business. What he needed was not Viscount Laurist’s ability, but his identity as an ordinary viscount.

    As for the implementation of the relevant work, it would be done by Shopkeeper Philip. This man was a genius in business.

    It was just a pity that Philip in his previous life had directly switched jobs because of the changes in Kailun’s family.

    Looking at the receding figures of her parents, Winnie tugged on Kailun’s arm and said, “What you just said is true, right?”

    Kailun shrugged: “What made you think I like to lie? This has to change, suspecting me is not a good habit.”

    Winnie: “Oh…”

    Trying to hear a word of truth from Kailun’s mouth was as difficult as getting a bull to give milk.

    “Speaking of which, your performance in the past few days has been very good, worthy of praise, so your treatment has been improved, you can sleep in bed at night.”

    Kailun rubbed Winnie’s long black hair and smiled.

    “Is there anything else?” Winnie smiled for some reason.

    “No more, if you want better treatment, fight for it yourself. It’s already a loss for me to give such a good job to your family. When I see Phils later, she might even scold me for being biased.”

    After messing up Winnie’s hair, Kailun walked towards the mobile palace.

    Looking at Kailun’s back, Winnie followed him without thinking this time.

    [Winnie thinks that you are occasionally trustworthy. Favorability +25, Total favorability -60]

    Perhaps because her expectations were too low, even such a small favor made Winnie’s favorability increase by a lot.

    Kailun couldn’t help but reflect in his heart, what kind of devil was he in Winnie’s heart?

    The case was solved, she was slandering him in her heart, he would continue to bully her tonight.

    “Hiss~”

    Winnie, who was walking behind, suddenly felt a little cold, and couldn’t help but hug herself.

     

  • As a villain, I just want them to behave 97

    Chapter 97: The Long Road Ahead

    A person who only knows how to silently endure cannot provide much pleasure, and even the existence of holy water can hardly change that.

    On a drunken night, there are always people working tirelessly, especially the commoners in the countryside.

    Under the moonlight and starlight, farmers practiced the art of planting rice seedlings. As long as the basic strength and angle were right, no matter how they were handled, they wouldn’t be too bad. There would always be a guaranteed harvest the next year.

    But with a little more effort, planting the seedlings a little deeper, deep into the moist and sticky mud, pressing them down firmly, they could withstand more wind and rain and become more stable.

    However, even so, there were still certain limitations. No matter how strong one was, there would be a moment when they hit a wall.

    At this time, it was necessary to change the way of thinking, such as changing the angle so that the roots of the seedlings could continue to extend downward.

    The method was very simple, that is, to lift the head of the seedling so that the roots and stems above the water formed a straight line.

    Three points in a line, this was the best calibration method and the best planting angle.

    The civilization of labor was the essence summed up from countless nights, each one unique and wonderful.

    “Cough cough…” Chrissy coughed softly. She looked very uncomfortable, and more tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

    Her originally empty eyes gradually returned to normal. Kailun’s brutality brought her back to reality.

    Having received the worst possible outcome, she no longer cared about any secrets or contracts. She wanted to kill Kailun, and she wanted to kill herself.

    But because Kailun was forcefully blocking her mouth, she couldn’t even bite her tongue.

    Besides, she had heard that biting one’s tongue was a difficult way to commit suicide, and doing so would only bring endless pain.

    She looked at Kailun resentfully, angry that he dared to do such a thing while holding her head.

    Chrissy wanted to bring despair to Kailun. She planned to add some meat to her meal tonight.

    So she bit down hard with her teeth, wanting to show Kailun what it meant to be bitten in two and heartbroken.

    “Chomp~”

    One bite and it was like biting into incredibly tough food, tough with impeccable hardness. Even if she bit down hard, it only left shallow teeth marks.

    Chrissy: “???”

    In her innocence, she didn’t know if this was the standard of a normal person or Kailun’s own peculiarity.

    It felt unbelievable, but she still tried her best to increase her strength and bite force, even using her pink little tongue to help.

    “Hiss~”

    Kailun suddenly gasped. It wasn’t pain, but pleasure.

    With his current physique, not to mention Chrissy’s teeth, even ordinary swords would be difficult to injure him.

    He understood the value of adding all attributes to physique and agility.

    Taking a deep breath, he suddenly understood the difference between holy water and ordinary saliva.

    From a physical point of view, the former was cold and cool, accompanied by the warm rhythm of his mouth compressing and Chrissy’s hard biting and sucking. In an instant, it made him feel like he was in the embrace of hell, making him so comfortable that he wanted to roar up to the sky.

    Suddenly, he was a little reluctant to let Chrissy go back to being an inside agent. Such a suitable plush ball would be a pity not to keep by his side.

    In order to experience this stimulation more clearly, Kailun even reduced some of his physique points. This way, he could feel Chrissy’s biting and licking more clearly.

    In order to cooperate with her acting and make her think that she had achieved her goal, Kailun hugged her head and cried out in pain: “Ah, it hurts, it hurts, I give up, I surrender…”

    Chrissy really worked harder after hearing Kailun’s words, as long as she could bite off Kailun’s destiny, she would be successful.

    Winnie, who was squatting beside the two, poked Chrissy’s throat with her slender fingers. Watching the other’s throat expand and contract, she thought of herself.

    It turned out that this was how she usually looked. She didn’t expect it to look so scary from the outside, as if her throat was about to be squeezed.

    That feeling of suffocation, that feeling of satisfaction, made her stare intently, even swallowing her saliva.

    As if she had awakened some incredible attribute, Winnie felt that she didn’t seem to hate this.

    “It’s over, I must be broken.” She held her head, aware of her own changes.

    Anyone who stayed in this den of iniquity would soon be assimilated by Kailun.

    Even a big shot like the Saint could not escape, let alone a young lady from a viscount family.

    At this time, Winnie desperately hoped that her family could escape, so that she would have a chance to escape.

    “Cough cough cough…”

    After about half an hour, Chrissy, who felt like her jaw was about to dislocate, finally gave up. This was simply not something that normal people could destroy.

    After drinking a lot of milk with hatred, she looked at Kailun with resentment.

    [Because of the effect of mental pollution, Chrissy’s favorability increased, Favorability +9, Total Favorability -90]

    After completing a round of attempts, Kailun turned Chrissy’s body so that she was facing away from him.

    Looking at Chrissy, who was tied up like a crab, Kailun’s index finger moved.

    What a wonderful scene of despair, perfect jade legs, lovely white tiger, and perfect lines that tugged at his heartstrings.

    His hands impatiently landed on Chrissy’s thighs, and Kailun fixed her body.

    Chrissy spat the residue from her mouth onto the ground and said, “What do you want to do? You can’t do this. No matter what, I’m still the Saint of the Temple of the Heavenly God. If you defile me, you defile the entire Temple of the Heavenly God. You will be cut by a thousand knives for a hundred years.”

    Feeling the “unusual” change, Chrissy finally panicked.

    Kailun: “Yes, I want to. As for what you said about me defiling you is defiling the entire Temple of the Heavenly God, shouldn’t that be something to be excited about?”

    Chrissy: “…”

    After only a few seconds of silence, she couldn’t help but cry out in pain. Kailun, this devil, really did that.

    The immense pain almost made her faint, and her body couldn’t stop convulsing.

    If it wasn’t for her strong physique, she wouldn’t be able to endure this kind of devastation at all.

    For the pampered Saint Chrissy, this was the most painful thing she had ever experienced in her life.

    Tears fell drop by drop into the cup. It was Winnie’s job to collect the holy water.

    [During the soul blending, the mental pollution deepened, Favorability +10, Total Favorability -80]

    [Chrissy is a little angry about your rough use of her breasts, but her favorability has not changed.]

    [Because you once again fed Chrissy dirty things, the mental pollution deepened, Favorability +5, Total Favorability -75]

    In order to gain favorability, Kailun devoted most of his energy to Chrissy, which allowed the sensitive Afra to escape.

    For Afra, Chrissy had already completed her mission by achieving such an effect.

    ……

    “Ugh~”

    Listening to the sounds of indulgence coming from the next room, Princess Hilna curled up in bed and gasped softly in discomfort.

    Every beat of her heart, every rub of her skin against her clothes, every pang of hunger was incredibly clear.

    Her watery eyes held a hint of autumn water, her thoughts involuntarily drifted to the room next door, and a scene of spring filled her mind.

    Her beautiful face flushed crimson, and her beautiful legs were tightly together.

    She bit her finger and tried her best to think.

    Guilt and shame were magnified in her heart, making her feel like a despicable woman.

    (…)

    In less than ten minutes, she knew that she seemed… to have done something wrong.

    Sitting on the bed, looking at the dirty sheets, she was thinking about how to cover up the crime scene. If Vivian and Kailun found out, she would rather run her head against the wall.

    ……

    As time went on into the night, the manor in the royal city of Xiya was invaded by uninvited guests.

    However, as soon as these uninvited guests stepped into the manor, they fell into a tight encirclement and were tied up in less than a few minutes.

    Looking at the knights in front of them, the two assassins were dumbfounded.

    Wasn’t it said that Kailun had already transferred the main force away? Why were there so many elite knights left in his house?

    And one of the older female knights clearly had the strength close to the seventh rank. Such a person would be called a commander even in the Knights.

    “There are actually people who are not afraid of death to sneak attack. Fortunately, Kailun added some magic formations before he left and left more than a thousand members of the Silver Moon Knights. I admire your courage. If you tell me who is behind you, I will give you a way out.”

    Phils looked at the two assassins who were wearing magic-suppressing collars.

    These two were not weak, both were at the sixth rank. If Kailun hadn’t left a deputy commander of the Silver Moon Knights to watch the house, they wouldn’t have been taken down in a short time.

    The two assassins kneeling on the ground were not professional assassins. They had only done this a few times, and the two who were not skilled in their business did not commit suicide at the first time.

    Or rather, they never thought they would fail before they came.

    Seeing that the two assassins remained silent, Phils ordered everyone, “Lock them up in the newly built black prison. I hope they will surrender soon.”

    After giving instructions for the next step, Phils yawned and returned to the small building. Kailun had told her contingency plans for any possible accidents.

    She planned to tell Kailun the news tomorrow morning. Maybe the two assassins would surrender by tomorrow morning?

    After all, it was better to live than to die. Some people would choose to live even if they lost all their power.

    Seeing that the two assassins were so indecisive, they probably didn’t sign any life and death contracts, otherwise they would have committed suicide the moment they were caught.

    “Sigh~”

    Phils looked at the moon and sighed softly.

    She couldn’t travel with Kailun, and her life was actually a little too dull.

    She knew that she shouldn’t have agreed so easily back then. If she could go out and play with him, let alone the title of marquis, she might even have the identity of a princess.

    After sighing, she raised her head and found Anna standing by the window, staring at the moon in a daze.

    ……

    “Is Kailun trying to kill us all? We have already escaped from the Kingdom of Xiya, and he is still chasing after us.”

    Justin led the remaining cavalry through the forest. At this time, they had crossed the border and reached the territory of the Kingdom of Malaga.

    But news came from the rear that Kailun had not stopped the pursuit at all. He had assembled an army of nearly 100,000 and continued to march.

    Harry leaned his head on Paul’s shoulder and said, “Be bolder. I think he wants to take this opportunity to take down the Kingdom of Malaga. After all, after losing 150,000 followers, the Kingdom of Malaga is at its weakest point.”

    “That’s impossible, isn’t he afraid of arousing public anger? What good would it do him to start a war against the Kingdom of Malaga at this time?”

    Justin couldn’t understand it at all. In his opinion, this was an extremely dangerous choice.

    The Kingdom of Xiya had never been stable. If another war between the two countries were to break out, would the Kingdom of Xiya really be able to hold on until the day of victory?

    “Let me ask you, if Kailun really wanted to attack the Kingdom of Malaga, how long could you and the king hold on?” Harry asked again.

    Justin thought for a moment and said, “I still have 50,000 men left in my hands, and the king can at least gather another 50,000. As for the remaining small nobles, I don’t count on them. They don’t have many people in their hands. I estimate that it will take at least a month to hold out against 100,000 people. As long as we can defend the royal capital for a month, the Kingdom of Xiya will definitely collapse because of the long war.”

    Paul, who was sitting in front of Harry, suddenly interjected, “I don’t think it will be that simple. Kailun is a scheming person. Since he dares to attack the Kingdom of Malaga, it means that he is sure to take it down in a short time. If we are not careful, today’s incident will happen again.”

    Paul really hated Kailun, but as a witness to these events, he truly realized how terrifying Kailun really was.

    For him, Kailun had become an unforgettable nightmare, and even if he wanted to forget it, he couldn’t.

    In fact, he was almost unable to raise the heart of revenge now. For him, Kailun was too powerful. Justin’s 150,000 army couldn’t shake Kailun, so what could he, a third-rank mage, do?

    If it wasn’t for the hope that the magic inscription brought him, he would really be autistic.

    “Well, we have to be more careful, but the most urgent task is to gather the rest of the people, otherwise we won’t be able to stop Kailun at all.” Justin said after looking around in the dark forest.

    He always felt that someone was watching them, but he couldn’t see anything when he looked around.

    Putting aside his worries, he raised a new question: “Harry, what do you think of His Highness the Holy Son’s order?”

    Harry thought for a moment: “It’s not that we don’t want to save Her Highness the Saint, but that we are not capable enough, so we have to choose the safest decision. Besides, Her Highness the Saint’s behavior is strange, which makes it difficult for us to believe her.”

    “It’s a pity that such a beautiful girl like Chrissy ended up in the hands of that bastard. I guess she must be suffering tremendously now.”

    He said hateful words, but Paul’s eyes were clearly full of jealousy.

    The beautiful and proud Saint, with her holy face and devilish figure, she was the perfect existence in the fantasy of all men.

    Especially those long legs, once you’ve seen them, you’ll never forget them.

    At the thought that such a perfect Saint could only be taken advantage of by that evil Kailun, Paul’s eyes turned red with jealousy.

    “Shut up, don’t ever say such things again, especially not in front of His Highness the Holy Son.” Justin reprimanded sternly upon hearing this.

    Paul: “Why?”

    Justin lowered his voice and said, “Because His Highness the Holy Son is a fanatical pursuer of the Saint. If he knew that you were slandering the Saint behind his back, then you would never be able to obtain the identity of the alternate Holy Son.”

    He was optimistic about Paul’s talent, so he would be so kind. If someone else dared to say that, he would immediately turn his back on them.

    The group chatted as they made their way towards the capital of the Kingdom of Malaga.

    It wasn’t until they were far away that Viscount Laurist and his party, who were hiding in the bushes in the distance, poked their heads out.

    “No, the Kingdom of Malaga is too dangerous. Let’s go back. I heard that Kailun is fighting with the people of the Kingdom of Malaga. If he knew that we ran to the Kingdom of Malaga, he would probably think we were traitors.”

    Viscount Laurist gasped, feeling his heart pounding.

    “But what should we do when we go back? If we don’t escape, Winnie will never see the light of day again.” Mrs. Laurist cried, covering her face.

    She had been wandering around with her family, thinking that they would be safe after escaping from the Kingdom of Xiya, but she didn’t expect Kailun to catch up.

    It would be fine if he just caught up, but he came with 100,000 people. It was terrifying, okay?

    “In that case, let’s turn around and leave immediately. We’re not going to this unlucky place in the Kingdom of Malaga!”

    Viscount Laurist gritted his teeth. He had already made some arrangements and would be able to settle down as soon as he arrived in the Kingdom of Malaga.

    But he didn’t expect that his original plan would no longer work. For safety reasons, he chose to leave with his family.

    ……

    Early the next morning, Kailun woke up earlier than usual.

    Maybe it was because he played too much last night, he only slept for an hour or two.

    However, through his efforts, the results were quite obvious. Chrissy’s favorability had reached -60, not far from being positive.

    Let him calculate carefully, one hour at noon, one hour in the afternoon, three hours at night, and in the morning, let Chrissy have a good rest.

    At this rate, he should be able to touch the threshold of 99 in less than three days.

    Fortunately, his waist was strong enough, otherwise, such high-intensity work would definitely destroy him.

    As for whether the Saint would be played to death?

    After a night of research, her water storage capacity was beyond Kailun’s imagination, so he wasn’t worried that he would drain the Saint.

    He picked up Chrissy, who had fallen asleep on top of him, and put her aside. Kailun looked at her sticky body with gratification.

    Because he wanted to gain favorability, Kailun didn’t kick Chrissy off the bed after he was done, so Winnie was still the only one sleeping on the floor last night.

    This made the latter very dissatisfied. It was clear that she arrived first, so why could the Saint sleep in the bed, and she could only sleep on the hard floor?

    Winnie immediately protested against this unfair act, and then turned her head to be gagged by Kailun.

    As for being gagged, she was used to it and wasn’t angry at all. What made her angry was that her mouth was full of the taste of holy water.

    Sweet and strange, it was an indescribable feeling.

    Poor Winnie spat out the holy water from her mouth after the first time to protest to Kailun.

    But the result of the protest was that the protest was invalid, and her protest was suppressed by Kailun.

    Maybe it was because she was too excited, Winnie’s favorability increased a lot, and she was about to break through the -70 mark, but she was kicked back to sleep on the ground by Kailun and returned to -90.

    In terms of family status, Winnie was even slightly lower than the Saint, not even as good as a plush ball.

    Tears welled up in her eyes.

    Kailun wiped his non-existent tears as he strode over Winnie’s head.

    It was getting late, he had to take a shower first.

    “Splash!”

    Five minutes later, Kailun, who was lying in the bathtub, completely calmed down.

    The army had been marching towards the Kingdom of Malaga all night, and by now they had crossed the border between the two countries without encountering any resistance.

    It would be three or four days before the Holy Son arrived in the Kingdom of Malaga, two or three days before the Saint’s discipline was completed, and about three days before the Kingdom of Malaga was finally captured.

    During these three days, his strength would be temporarily reduced, because the increase in Chrissy’s favorability would reduce his attribute points, and they would only increase again after she became positive.

    He hoped that the Pope would get the news of the Saint’s capture soon. Maybe the other party would give him a big wave. After all, the Pope was a ninth-rank existence. Even if he only provided twenty or thirty favorability points, it would be enough for him to walk a long way in the eighth rank.

    Judging from the current situation, Kailun would have the ability to deal with Kailson alone in three days.

    It didn’t matter if he didn’t have eighth-rank magic. He could just take a sword and sneak attack him. He had to stab Kailson to death.

    After taking a bath and changing into clean clothes, Kailun left the bathroom.

    “The kings of Madden and Kaz asked me where the magic cannons came from and what their relationship was with the Rose Queen.”

    Looking at the latest magic letter, Kailun simply replied, “I stole the technology and made it myself. I can sell it to you if you need it, provided you pay enough gold coins. Last time I asked you, where did the gold coins for transportation go? If you can’t tell me the exact information, the Kingdom of Xiya will withdraw its troops at midnight tonight.”

    Not only did he answer the question, but he also turned it around.

    It wasn’t him who should be anxious, but the kings of Madden and Kaz.

    The Rose Queen’s army was only a few hundred miles away from their royal city, and it was about to reach their doorstep.

    “Oh, the Grand Duke of the Rose Kingdom dared to send assassins to attack my manor. He’s so bold. I don’t know if it was the Rose Queen’s idea or his own.”

    Kailun stroked his chin and smiled. If he remembered correctly, the Grand Duke of the Rose Kingdom was Anna’s enemy. It was he who bullied Anna and Paul’s mother.

    This man did have some ability. After he left the Kingdom of Xiya, it only took him a few years to become a duke.

    But there was something wrong with his character. He loved other people’s wives.

    In his previous life’s memory, he later confessed to the Rose Queen, but the outcome was a great purge by the Rose Queen.

    Unlike Princess Hilna’s blindness, the Rose Queen’s purge was very successful.

    The fact that the other party sent assassins was not only an opportunity for Kailun to completely win over Anna, but also an opportunity to severely damage the Rose Kingdom.

    Glancing at Shirley the knight, who was tied to the cross and sleeping, Kailun continued to improve his follow-up plan.

    “Master, the knights on the front line caught a group of sneaky people. After a brief interrogation, the leader said that he knew you and wanted to see you.”

    Half an hour later, Eve the little knight jumped onto the mobile palace and reported the situation on the front line to Kailun.

    “Who is it? What’s his name?” Kailun asked curiously.

    Eve: “He’s a minor noble, I think his name is Laurist.”

    “Pfft!”

    Hearing the name of Winnie’s father, Kailun couldn’t help but laugh.

    No, he had to wake Winnie up and laugh at her together.

     

  • The Azure Longsword 28

    Chapter 28: Dreamland Paradise

    A large ball of light was floating high in the air above the mountaintop.

    About twenty ordinary people were tied to wooden stakes in the shape of crosses, forming a circle around the ball of light. Blue spirit tentacles continuously drilled in and out of the five senses of these victims, taking away the mysterious energy belonging to human spirits and replenishing the huge blue ball of light in the center.

    These victims were either fishermen fishing nearby or merchant ships passing by and attacked by Dreamland Paradise. From last year to now, a total of more than a thousand living people had been sacrificed, but of course, it was still insignificant in the entire Eastern Solomon Empire.

    After extracting the spiritual energy for another month, the entire island would soon be pulled to the boundary between reality and illusion, becoming a lonely island in the collective unconscious, an eternal paradise.

    At that time, it could appear in reality and also travel through the ocean of the collective unconscious, becoming an easily defensible haven for Dreamland Paradise.

    Since collecting the plane fragment of Paradise Mountain, Archbishop Alexander, head of the Asia Minor branch of Dreamland Paradise, had secretly formulated this ambitious plan – to transform the entire plane fragment of Paradise Mountain into a semi-plane branch belonging to Dreamland Paradise, so as to completely avoid the continental heresy crackdown plan launched by the Solomon Church every few years.

    Of course, due to the unique defensive advantages of the semi-plane, this semi-plane branch would surely be promoted to headquarters soon. At that time, Archbishop Alexander would no longer be just the head of a branch, but would most likely successfully enter the church’s council of elders and become a powerful figure in the sect.

    As long as he still held the access rights to the plane fragment, all kinds of power struggles at the top would not even affect him, and he could sit firmly on the throne of the council of elders.

    This was Archbishop Alexander’s hidden ambition.

    “Alarm from the No. 1 defense line at the foot of the mountain.” One of the priests said. The four priests present were all confidants of Archbishop Alexander. Therefore, his first reaction was not that someone had leaked information, causing demigods from the Eastern Solomon Empire or the headquarters of Dreamland Paradise to come, but that some uninformed passers-by had landed on the island.

    To be able to pass through the outer dream creature territory and make the Slumbering Warriors at the foot of the mountain sound the alarm, these passers-by still had some combat power. Just as Archbishop Alexander was thinking this, the priest who had first sounded the alarm suddenly changed his expression:

    “The No. 1 defense line has been breached! Two Slumbering Warriors’ signals have gone silent! The No. 2 defense line… the No. 2 defense line has also been breached! The enemy is advancing towards the No. 3 defense line, the No. 3 defense line has also been breached!”

    “What are the characteristics of the invaders?” Archbishop Alexander could no longer remain calm and hurriedly asked, “Are they equipped with heavy firepower weapons? Or are they high-ranking extraordinary beings?”

    “Flames!” Through the dream connection, the priest saw the scene that the Slumbering Warriors saw before they died. “Endless flames!”

    “Could it be a demigod of the Fire Sequence?” Archbishop Alexander’s face changed drastically. “But, the magic tide hasn’t risen yet! How can these demigods act freely?”

    In the closed beta version of the plot, the level cap for extraordinary beings was 5. This cap didn’t mean that extraordinary beings couldn’t raise their level to level 6, but that the extraordinary creatures distributed on the continent, and the extraordinary power that could be obtained, could only support extraordinary beings reaching level 5 at most.

    If it was the 5th Epoch, the old monsters who survived from before the 4th Epoch, then let alone level 5, there were level 25, 35, and so on. However, they couldn’t move around freely in the world. On the one hand, the potion materials for their promotion, the corresponding high-level extraordinary creatures, had already fallen into slumber, and there were simply no similar existences in the world; on the other hand, using abilities at will would consume spirituality, and the current magic tide level was not enough to replenish their daily consumption of spirituality from using abilities.

    To use a vivid but not quite accurate analogy, assuming that a level 5 extraordinary needs to eat a pound of chicken every day, and a level 35 extraordinary needs to eat a pound of beef every day, then the current magic tide level has caused wild chickens to be everywhere on the continent, but the wild cattle have all dug holes and gone into hibernation.

    Therefore, level 5 extraordinary beings could be alive and kicking, while level 35 could only keep a low profile and pretend to be ordinary people, otherwise they would starve to death from frequent consumption of spirituality.

    Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for it to be a demigod! Archbishop Alexander concluded that unless the information about the Paradise Mountain fragment had really been leaked (but the four subordinates who were the only ones who knew were with him day and night on this mountaintop, so this possibility was ruled out), the visitors were at most those below level 5 on the bloodline path, otherwise they would not be able to directly attack.

    “All the Slumbering Warriors guarding the mountain path, retreat to the top of the mountain to defend!” The enemy was advancing so fast, which meant that two or three Slumbering Warriors were not their opponents. The reasonable response was of course for everyone to retreat to the top of the mountain and then concentrate their forces to resist the enemy. Archbishop Alexander immediately gave the order.

    “Die, pigs!” On the mountain path, Medea in the flames cursed angrily, once again smashing a Dream Warrior down the cliff with a large fireball. She muttered to herself, her whole body covered in flowing high-temperature flames, floating and rushing towards the top of the mountain again.

    The other three girls didn’t dare to get too close to her, for fear that their hair or clothes would catch fire, so they could only rush forward along the mountain path.

    Along the way, they encountered fewer and fewer mobs. Asker keenly noticed this. It seemed that the boss had summoned all the mobs back to the top of the mountain, intending to wait for them and attack in groups?

    What a pity, if it was the peak of the magic tide, maybe I would still worry about some traps, but the dungeon boss in the open beta, at most it would be level 5, right?

    Just rush up and kill it.

    Rushing to the top of the mountain, their vision suddenly cleared. The top of the mountain was a huge open space, about a few hundred meters in diameter. A conspicuous spirit ball of light was floating in the air, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

    Then there were the victims tied to the stakes below, the Slumbering Warriors, and the Dream priests. A rough count showed that there were about twenty enemies.

    At this time, there was no need for nonsense. They had already reached the enemy’s lair, so what was there to say? The battle broke out almost immediately. The Dream priests on the other side cast spells first, summoning five Dream Puppets, all heavily armed powered armor knights.

    Eleanor almost burst into tears, why were they all targeting her memory to summon?

    In fact, Nuo and Peggy had never seen extraordinary beings before, and Medea was in a state of spiritual frenzy, unable to read memories. Asker was hiding far behind, so the Dream priests naturally could only find targets from her memory.

    So Eleanor’s father, two uncles, and the two most powerful knights under her command were copied. The two-meter-tall powered armor was murderous, which immediately emboldened the priests.

    Before they could really feel at ease, the berserk Medea had completely erupted. She widened her bloodshot eyes, looking at so many male NPCs in front of her, she simply drained her remaining spirituality, shouted angrily, and fireballs shot out from her hands randomly, instantly washing all the enemies present, and almost setting the entire mountaintop on fire.

    Without the psychic’s group suggestion, Eleanor and Peggy could only bite the bullet and charge forward. The former, relying on the defensive power of her armor and the long reach of her spear, attacked continuously in the crowd. The latter, relying on her super-fast movement, wandered around the edge of the battlefield, occasionally approaching an enemy and delivering a backstab.

    Nuo stood there at a loss. At this time, she didn’t have any combat ability and couldn’t participate in the battle in front. For a while, no one paid attention to her, and suddenly she heard Asker’s shout from behind:

    “Nuo, come here!”

    She hurriedly turned her head and saw Asker hiding behind the small slope of the mountain path, secretly observing the battlefield from a hidden place. Nuo hurriedly ran over and stayed with Asker, immediately feeling much more at ease.

    “See those five wearing priest robes over there?” Asker pointed to the distance and said, “Those five are the bosses.”

    “Hmm.” Nuo nodded obediently. “What do you need me to do?”

    “You don’t need to do anything.” Asker said, “They are going to activate the ball of light above to unleash their ultimate move, I’ll see if I can kill one of them while they are at it. You watch carefully which one the ball of light’s ultimate move attacks, if it’s Eleanor or Medea, then don’t worry about it (these two, one has thick skin and the other has high HP, they can’t be killed), if it’s Peggy, you shout to warn her.”

    “Wouldn’t that attract the enemy?” Nuo asked.

    “In Medea’s full firepower berserk mode, their primary strategic goal is to kill Medea, otherwise they would have to withstand her firepower to rush over, the sacrifice is too great.” Asker pointed his thumb at himself. “Besides, I’m still here, aren’t I?”

    “Okay.” Nuo immediately felt relieved and focused her attention on the ball of light.

    The five priests on the other side stretched out their arms, making a “hugging the sun” posture. Blue light emanated from their eyes and noses, surging towards the large ball of light above their heads. The blue light gathered into a torrent on the surface of the ball of light, and suddenly rushed towards Eleanor.

    Soul Torrent!

    Eleanor was fighting bravely beside Medea when she was suddenly hit by the Soul Torrent. She raised her shield and forcefully blocked the magic light that fell from the sky, feeling a huge pressure hitting her shield, her left hand almost unable to hold the handle of the shield.

    Taking advantage of Eleanor being knocked back, the Slumbering Warriors and powered armor knights next to her immediately filled in and attacked Medea in the flames frantically. The latter’s fighting style was also like a madman, constantly throwing high-temperature flames around, just like an erupting volcano.

    Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, booming like thunder. Asker’s Desert Eagle fired an elephant hunting bullet, piercing through the chests of three Slumbering Warriors and blasting a large hole in the chest of one of the priests.

    The other four priests immediately changed their expressions when they saw this, but because they were maintaining the Soul Torrent, they didn’t stop casting immediately.

    It was this momentary hesitation of the bosses that Asker had calculated in advance. There were three more short and consecutive gunshots, and the three priest bosses immediately fell to the ground.

    Now Archbishop Alexander, the only one left, didn’t dare to continue casting anymore, and hurriedly interrupted the Soul Torrent (at this time, Eleanor was almost hit by the ultimate move to the edge of the cliff, one second later and she would have fallen off the cliff and been killed by the map). With his order, only half of the warriors stayed beside Medea to continue entangling her, while the other half rushed towards Asker.

    “Stay hidden, I’m going.” Asker said to Nuo, and then met the surging enemies with his sword. Looking at Asker’s back as he rushed out, Nuo almost burst into tears – she remembered the legends she had read, heroes were always like this, alone with their swords, facing enemies far exceeding their number, bravely facing difficulties.

    “Lord, please bless Mr. Asker, may his sword drink blood on the battlefield, and may the enemy’s evil blade never touch the corner of his clothes.” She knew that she, who was powerless at this time, couldn’t rush to the battlefield to support him, so she could only close her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and silently pray to God.

    Asker drew his sword and charged towards the enemy. The powered armor knight illusion in front charged towards him. He sidestepped the mace and backhanded a backstab, his sword piercing into the knight’s unprotected joint gap.

    Then he quickly drew his sword again, blocking the attacks of the two Slumbering Warriors on the left, lightly deflecting and pulling, pulling their attacks to the right, the blade of his sword pressing against the neck of one of them, quickly and skillfully cutting half a circle, blood spraying from the cut trachea.

     

  • The Azure Longsword 27

    Chapter 27: Unleash the Fury, Notebook Queen!

    Asker vividly remembered how much the players had suffered when they fought this Nightmare boss in his previous life.

    The setting of this Nightmare boss was extremely cheap. It would choose a character to copy in the blind spot of all teammates. If it was an NPC, it would copy the NPC’s AI script; if it was a player, then after the copying was completed, all the player’s speech and actions would be copied and imitated by the server. Technically, it could even achieve a confusion rate of over 99%. Most normal players could not tell who was the player and who was the dungeon’s copy.

    While copying, it would also continuously cast the Dream Puppet ability silently, summoning all kinds of bosses that players had fought before. Before the players could figure out who was the real one, the boss illusion monsters were already roaring and charging towards them.

    The players’ methods of dealing with it were even more shameless. One was the mutual destruction method, regardless of who was disguised by the boss, everyone would fight both the real one and the fake one, focusing all their output and bursting out, killing both the teammate and the boss together.

    This method was still very efficient, but if the boss copied a key role such as a healer or MT, basically the subsequent dungeon could not be pushed.

    The other was the offline phone call method, directly reporting the phone number and asking teammates to go offline and call to ask. This was a truly unsolvable tactic, even the most intelligent AI of the game server was powerless.

    During the open beta, players were not yet familiar with these strange extraordinary abilities, so they could only use shameless tactics against shameless tactics. After four or five versions, everyone was familiar with the characteristics of the Mind Sequence abilities, and they could adapt accordingly.

    For example, the “tongue twister” method used by Asker was an emergency measure he came up with on the spot, knowing that the Mind ability could read his shallow memory.

    After all, they couldn’t go offline and ask, right?

    The group continued to move forward and soon reached the bottom of the central mountain peak of the island. From the foot of the mountain upwards, there were dense stone steps, winding up the mountain path in a circular pattern, with ancient Solomon-style stone archways every few dozen meters.

    In front of the first archway stood two warriors in dark blue armor, who looked human in appearance. They closed their eyes tightly, as if they were meditating. Mysterious runes were painted on their armor, and the long swords or sabers at their waists also glowed with an ominous blue light, seeming to be no ordinary weapons.

    “Dreamland Paradise’s ‘Slumbering Warriors’.” Asker said in the communication channel. “These warriors keep their eyes closed, their consciousness immersed in sleep all the time, controlled by the manipulator behind the scenes. However, they can observe the outside world through mental vision, so the boss behind the scenes is probably aware of us.”

    “Since they have discovered us, why don’t they attack?” Eleanor asked.

    “Because their task is to defend the first archway.” Asker said with a smile. “If they had the authority to actively attack, then we could send one person to lure them away, and the rest of us could swagger up the mountain, right?”

    “Then how do we fight?” Peggy asked.

    “Simple.” Asker said, “Eleanor will strike first, pierce one enemy with ‘Dragon Spear,’ and then throw it back here. Me, Peggy, and Medea will focus fire and kill the one that falls to the ground first, and Eleanor will just focus on entangling the other one.”

    “There’s another problem.” He thought for a moment and added, “Once we kill these two enemies, we will alert the enemies on the mountain, and they may continuously send warriors down. If we fight on the narrow mountain path, there is a great risk of falling off the cliff. If we slide down the mountainside, even if we don’t die, we will lose half our lives, and it will also cause us to be separated from the team.”

    “Therefore, we must not get entangled in a fight with the enemy. Because the enemy outnumbers us, even if they launch a suicidal attack, one-on-one hugging us and jumping off the cliff, it will be quite troublesome for us. Therefore, we need explosive output, pushing all the way, straight to the top of the mountain.”

    “Hmm, hmm, hmm.” The girls nodded one after another. So the question was, how to achieve explosive output?

    “So we’re back to that problem, our output efficiency is not enough.” Asker looked at Medea seriously. “To perfectly execute this tactic, we can only rely on you. Unleash the fury, Notebook Queen!”

    Medea: ???

    “You mean, rely on me?” Her brows furrowed.

    “Look, don’t you have androphobia? Your fire ability will go berserk if you touch a man?” Asker said, “I’ll touch you first, and then you activate your berserk state, just throw fireballs all the way up the mountain. No matter what enemies come from the mountain, if they are more than three steps away from us, you throw fireballs at them; when their HP is almost depleted and they enter within three steps, we will go up and kill them.”

    “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Medea shook her head and said, “In that state you call ‘berserk,’ I have a great deal of hatred for all men. Maybe I’ll lose control and try to kill you, you stinky man, even at the risk of breaking the contract.”

    “Then what if I don’t appear in front of you?” Asker thought for a moment. “I hide behind you, out of your sight, and don’t talk the whole time, just keep shooting with my pistol?”

    “Then I can try to pretend you don’t exist.” Medea nodded. “We can try.”

    “How long can your berserk state last?” Asker asked for confirmation.

    “About five minutes.” Medea felt very strange. Because in the Seljuk Empire, where patriarchal culture prevailed, those people in the court were very disgusted with her kind of out-of-control hatred for men. The eunuchs didn’t even dare to appear in her sight. Even her father was quite dissatisfied with this, and didn’t even call her to attend court banquets.

    How come when it came to Asker, her ability going out of control became an excellent fighting method?

    “After five minutes, if there are no more men in sight, I can calm down and end the out-of-control state.” Medea frowned and said, “If it exceeds five minutes, it will cause damage to my spirituality; if it exceeds 20 minutes, my mind will have a permanent and irreversible risk of losing control.”

    “Within 20 minutes? Enough.” Asker nodded.

    “Can you please calculate based on 5 minutes?” Seeing that the other party directly used 20 minutes to estimate, Medea almost burst into tears. “If the out-of-control state lasts for more than 10 minutes, I will have to stay in bed afterwards! It’s a serious injury!”

    “5 minutes, let’s speed up and rush up. If we are fast enough, we can still reach the top of the mountain ahead of time.” Asker thought for a moment and said, “There will inevitably be male NPCs in the boss fight, let’s see if we can kill them quickly. If it really doesn’t work, you just close your eyes and hypnotize yourself with your mental ability to end the out-of-control state, just pretend that the men around you don’t exist.”

    “Hmm.” Medea said sullenly.

    “That’s it then.” Asker said decisively. “The order of positions later will be Peggy and Eleanor in the first position, Nuo in the second, Medea in the third, and I will be at the back. If we encounter enemies, Medea will first use her out-of-control fireball ability to bombard them, when they get close, Eleanor will use Dragon Spear to grab the enemies and throw them to the ground, and Peggy and I will be responsible for focusing fire. Any questions?”

    “No.” The girls shook their heads one after another.

    “Then let’s go.” Asker said, “Medea, I’ll give you a buff.”

    “Just a reminder.” Medea said, “No matter which part of my body you touch, within 1 second of touching it, the surface of my skin will start to emit high-temperature flames above 1000 degrees. If you don’t dodge fast enough, you will be severely burned.”

    “Understood, then please close your eyes.” Asker said, “The others stay away first.”

    The three girls hurriedly moved away. Medea closed her eyes, wondering what Asker was going to do, only to hear him say in her ear:

    “Excuse me.”

    Slap! A loud slap landed on her face. Medea opened her eyes abruptly, the first thing that rose from her chest was the anger of being humiliated, but a deeper complex emotion soon surged up.

    Terror, fear, disgust, rejection, viciousness, and strong hostility.

    The touch of the male palm still lingered on her delicate facial skin. The scene of her mother and the three male slaves reappeared in front of her eyes. The filthy and dirty scene with a sense of transgression almost made her want to vomit.

    Soon the flames in her heart burned fiercely, her chest seemed to have turned into a huge furnace, the hot blood in her body surged and spread like underground magma, eager to erupt and burn and purify the whole world.

    After slapping her, Asker quickly dodged and hid behind. Medea’s body slowly levitated, flames gushing out from the thousands of pores on her skin, almost burning her into a human torch. Her long wine-red hair fluttered in the sparks, the long horns of the Succubus on her forehead protruded, and her pupils burned with extremely fierce and violent flames.

    “That damned… pig! Where is he!!!” Medea roared furiously in the flames, even her breath carrying scorching heat.

    “Over there!” Eleanor hurriedly pointed to the two Slumbering Warriors in front, afraid that she would turn around and attack Asker.

    “Die! Pigs!” Medea, trying hard to suppress the urge to turn around, waved her hands and grabbed two crimson fireballs, throwing them fiercely towards the front. The Slumbering Warriors turned their heads, but before they could make any move, they were engulfed by the raging flames.

    “(Seljuk dialect) Die, die, die, die, you pigs!” Medea began to talk nonsense, cursing in her native language, constantly throwing fireballs forward.

    The two Slumbering Warriors still wanted to attack this way, but their hair and eyelashes were scorched by the fireballs first, then the defense provided by the armor runes was also destroyed in the high temperature, and then more fireballs bombarded from the air, as if hundreds of rockets were carpet bombing here, raising a lot of smoke and dust.

    When the smoke and dust cleared, the figures of the two Slumbering Warriors had disappeared, leaving only two curled up pieces of charcoal on the ground.

    “(Devil language) More! Other! Pigs!” Medea started cursing in the Devil language, obviously losing her mind. At this time, Nuo also reacted and quickly pointed to the front:

    “On the mountain! There are more men on the mountain!”

    “Don’t mention that dirty word in front of me!” Medea screamed furiously. Eleanor and Nuo immediately felt a gust of hot wind blowing towards them, almost drying them up. When they came back to their senses, they saw Medea in the flames rushing towards the mountain, her whole body as majestic as a flame demon.

    “Wait, we haven’t formed our positions yet!” Eleanor and the others hurriedly chased after her. Asker watched from behind, feeling that the Notebook Queen’s out-of-control performance was definitely underestimated in the forum in his previous life.

    This was not an ordinary berserk state, it was simply a god descending to earth! The power of a rocket artillery barrage was nothing more than this!

    He called out to Peggy, and the two of them immediately chased after them.

    Chapter 26: A Heavy Burden

    The so-called Nightmare Plunge, the description in the forum guide was: Pull the player into the most unbearable memory of their life, causing their emotions to fluctuate violently and their spirituality to be damaged.

    Although it was written in a mysterious way, the game pod naturally couldn’t really read the player’s memory, so for players, it was just a simple willpower check. If they failed the check, they would only get a “Shaken Spirituality” debuff.

    However, at this moment, Asker felt that something deep in his memory was being violently torn out by the other party’s ability.

    In the blink of an eye, he was standing at the door of the bathroom in his old home. His small body was probably only six or seven years old. His dead father was slumped on the floor of the bathroom, the wounds on his wrists from the suicide attempt still oozing blood.

    His mother was kneeling on the tiled floor, her clothes soaked in blood. Her body was trembling slightly, making incomprehensible sobs, which gradually turned into desperate wails.

    That unbearable childhood memory, along with the feeling that the whole world was collapsing in front of him, resurfaced from the depths of his memory.

    What did he do at that time? It seemed like he hugged his mother and cried together?

    Thinking about it now, it was really not worth it.

    His small hand clenched tightly in the air, as if pulling something out, and slashed forcefully at the scene in front of him.

    He really drew his sword!

    Then the entire memory world was cleanly cut in half.

    Blue blood splattered, and what came into view was the Nightmare’s incredulous expression.

    It didn’t understand why this human in front of it, whose consciousness had been pulled into the nightmare it had woven and couldn’t extricate himself, could still draw his sword and deliver this decisive blow that broke the dream.

    Then it realized that it had made a huge mistake.

    Eleanor was still fighting the illusion of her father, when the tall illusion suddenly trembled, and its shield-raising movement froze. Her gaze turned to the distance in confusion, to the place where Asker and the Nightmare were fighting, and her attention was immediately attracted.

    What a violent and fierce swordsmanship it was. The sword light connected up and down, left and right, almost impossible to see how many swords he had drawn per second. Only the blue blood that was slashed out splashed continuously to the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right, like a huge cosmos flower blooming in the air.

    The Nightmare, with its back to everyone, was shaking like a sieve under the sword light. First its right arm was cut off, then its left arm, and finally its head and waist. Its broken limbs were thrown out in a flurry.

    Asker let out a low shout and swung the last horizontal slash, splitting the empty air in front of him. The Teutonic Knights’ “Storm Cross Swordsmanship” (Sturm Kreuz) was actually not about brute force, but about controlling every movement and force in the midst of a violent attack.

    And the reason why he slashed at the air after killing the boss was simply to vent.

    His mentality had become unbalanced.

    His professional psychological quality allowed him to quickly adjust and calm himself down. Turning around, he saw that the tall illusion in the distance had also disappeared with the wind. As a puppet created by the boss’s dream ability, it was only natural that it could not maintain its existence after the boss died.

    Eleanor stood up shakily, leaning on her spear, took off her armor with difficulty, and began to receive Nuo’s healing.

    “Heh.” Medea, whose injuries had stabilized, walked over, looked at the Nightmare’s severed limbs on the ground, and sneered, “I thought the Nightmare was so powerful, but it was killed by us so easily…”

    Her words came to an abrupt end, because Medea saw Asker’s face clearly: a gloomy expression, like a volcano about to erupt.

    “What’s… that expression on your face?” Medea’s voice trembled a little. Through her ability’s vision, she saw that Asker’s mental body was also bright red, obviously his heart was filled with extreme rage and killing desire, making her have the urge to run away desperately on the spot.

    “What’s wrong with me?” Asker said slowly, forcing a smile on his face.

    “Your smile is uglier than crying.” Medea secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was close, it seemed that this guy hadn’t lost his mind yet.

    “Forget it.” Asker waved his hand, turned around and sat down on the stone steps of the altar, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

    The others also came over after a short rest. The most seriously injured was naturally Eleanor, who had fought fiercely with the illusion, while Peggy had fallen into a coma and fallen to the ground at the beginning. Although she was covered in dirt, she was not injured. Under Nuo’s healing, both of them had recovered their combat effectiveness.

    “What’s that expression on your face?” Nuo said, biting her lip. Looking at Asker’s gloomy expression, she felt inexplicably afraid.

    “What’s wrong with my expression?” Asker asked.

    “It’s as if you made a stupid mistake in the arena and were beaten up by the other party.” Peggy said.

    Eleanor burst out laughing. She had been sparring with Asker in the training ground for several days at first, so she knew what Peggy meant.

    In every fight at that time, Asker would beat up the mercenary on the other side like this, and then mercilessly criticize them until they were worthless. If this great master was really beaten up… that scene was simply unimaginable, it would probably be this gloomy expression now.

    “Oh.” Asker said with a straight face.

    “What is the spiritual material on this Nightmare?” Seeing that he was really in a bad mood, Peggy didn’t tease him anymore.

    “Hair.” Asker said.

    So Peggy went to collect the hair on the Nightmare’s head, cutting the nerve bundles with her short sword while secretly looking up to observe Asker’s expression.

    “Don’t look.” Medea’s voice sounded in her mind. “He’s in a bad mood right now.”

    “What’s with his expression?” Peggy asked puzzled. She had been hypnotized from the moment she approached the Nightmare, and had been in a coma ever since, so she had no idea what had happened. “I feel like there’s a bit of hatred in it.”

    “It’s not necessarily hatred.” Medea said, “Anyway, it’s a feeling of carrying some heavy burden.”

    She sighed in the mental communication, looking at Asker’s gloomy face, she inexplicably thought of her father when she was young.

    It was when Medea was six years old, her father Suleiman had not yet become the emperor of the Seljuk Empire, and was serving as the governor of the Damascus region as a prince. At that time, her grandfather, Sultan Selim, favored another son, her uncle Alauddin, and seemed to intend to pass the throne to him.

    Alauddin, because he had been leading troops for many years and had once killed two of his brothers, the princes, for his grandfather, became increasingly arrogant and domineering. He once met his grandmother Hafsa outside the palace and whipped her severely with a horsewhip in front of the eunuchs, on the grounds that the Sultan’s women should not show their faces outside the palace.

    Her grandmother fell seriously ill after returning to the palace and later wrote to her father in Damascus. Her father, Suleiman, took the letter and sat alone in the governor’s mansion, neither summoning his confidants to discuss nor eating or sleeping, but just sat silently in his room all night.

    That night, she had gone to her father to act coquettishly and asked him to read her the bedtime story “One Thousand and One Nights.” However, her father just stared at her with a gloomy face and a cruel expression, which frightened her and made her run away in the end.

    From that moment on, the elegant father in her memory, who was always full of energy and had a scholarly air, disappeared, as if he had completely turned into a cold-blooded devil.

    After she grew up, she probably guessed what was written in that letter, nothing more than that her grandfather Selim had decided to implement the “Fratricide Law.”

    The law, promulgated by Mehmed II “the Conqueror,” stipulated that any prince who became or was about to become Sultan had the right to kill all his brothers who threatened his throne.

    If her grandfather Selim had made up his mind to pass the throne to his son Alauddin, then Suleiman, who was also his son, as well as his mother Hafsa, his wife Roxelana, and all his children, would all be executed by her grandfather Selim – or by her uncle Alauddin, who would become Sultan.

    But at that time, she was only six years old and didn’t understand the hidden swords and shadows in the court. A year later, in the midst of his sons’ open and secret struggles, her grandfather Selim finally decided that her father Suleiman was the most qualified prince to inherit his throne, so he took action to massacre all the other princes and their immediate family members.

    Another year later, her grandfather Selim died in the court. Her father Suleiman returned to the capital to inherit the throne, and sneered as he rode into the city: “A carpet is enough for two Sufi believers to live on, but the world is too small for two kings.”

    The sneer her father showed at that time had gradually faded in her memory. However, what she could never forget was the expression on her father’s face when he was meditating in the dark room of the mansion that night: it was a feeling of carrying a huge burden, both extremely painful and extremely cruel, both cold and rational, and full of madness.

    Very similar to Asker’s expression at this moment.

    “What heavy burden?” Peggy asked in confusion. It was hard for her to understand what else could be heavier than hatred.

    “Ah, it’s that feeling of being cornered.” Medea said casually, “Men, sometimes they just turn into beasts, carrying all kinds of heavy reasons, and then go to fight and confront the whole world.”

    “But, it’s quite charming.” She chuckled softly.

    Asker sat on the stone steps, his hands clasped under his chin, not knowing what he was thinking. Eleanor beside him looked at him cautiously and asked tentatively:

    “No more review?”

    “You fought well, this should be your first boss. To be able to fight like this in the first attempt, it’s already quite good for newbies.” Asker was silent for a long time before replying, “Now we are already in the depths of the island. If we go further in, we will reach the foot of the mountain. We will encounter the second boss when we head to the top of the mountain. Keep up the good work.”
