"Are we really going to kill them?"
A standard team of warriors, including warriors, mages, monks, shield guards, priests, archers, etc., they hesitated when facing the people's uprising at the bottom.
"But they have been controlled by the Demon King's army and are blocking our way to defeat the Demon King. According to the instructions of the divine envoy, all those who stand in the way of the brave, whether they are monsters or civilians seduced by the Demon King's army, Kill them all without hesitation."
The monk said that before coming, the envoy of the Supreme Temple was like a prophet, giving corresponding instructions to their team of warriors.
"What about the magic of purification? Can it release them from control?"
asked the brave girl.
"I don't have the ability to purify so many people."
The priest did not say anything. He had tried to purify some rebels, but there was no difference between those who accepted the purification magic before and after purification.
And he also seriously asked those people why they helped the Demon King's army attack the city since they were not under any control.
"Sir, it's because we can't survive. I obviously didn't join the Demon King's army, but the local nobles insist on accusing me of being a traitor to humanity. He wants to take away my wife, daughter, and everything else. Rather than having everything taken away from me, Hanging on the gallows, I would rather stand up and resist, we, we just want to live..."
What one of the men who had been a small businessman said shocked him greatly, but the shock did not last long. The city guards who were searching for human traitors found this place. If he hadn't had the identity certificate of a church minister on his body, he would have been there. Taken away as a human traitor.
When they saw the peddler man again, his family had been hanged on the gallows together with the other captured "Demon King Army Seisaku".
"Although we don't want to, if those people attack us, we will have no choice but to resist!"
The number of rebels in front of them is estimated to be in the thousands, but this brave team only has nine people. However, no one doubts that they may not be able to defeat this group of ragged rebels in front of them, even if they only have nine people.
"How about we take a detour around this group of rebels? We are very fast and they can't keep up with us."
The brave girl said that it would be fine if she was killing monsters, but killing humans of the same race was not what she wanted to do.
"Avoiding battle is not the behavior of a brave man."
Within the team, the Temple Knight said.
"I just don't want to cause unnecessary killing."
Said the brave girl.
"What is senseless killing? Those guys have abandoned their faith in the gods."
The Temple Knight frowned.
He gets into a dispute with Brave Girl, and the rest of the team tries to smooth things over, but to no avail.
"Isn't it better to bypass them and deal with the Demon King's army behind them than to kill these innocent people?"
"Being bewitched is already a sign of ungodly faith. The Demon King's army deserves to die, but these people are not innocent either. They should also be burned to death on the stake or hanged on the gallows!"
"You guy, don't you have a trace of compassion? Are you worthy of being a temple knight?"
"Pity is for the devout people, not for the rebels who were bewitched by the Demon King's army."
The temple knight mounted his war horse and said nothing. He was ready to charge into the battle and kill the group of rebels.
Of course, he is not an idiot. If the gap in strength is too big, he will not make such a reckless move.
However, the rebel army in front of him is just a ragtag group. It may be unrealistic for him to kill all of them as he is well-equipped, but it is not difficult to rush and defeat this rebel army and let the people inside flee in all directions.
This is something that proves one's faith and piety. Now that the eyes of the gods are cast on every brave team, the Temple Knights will not give up this opportunity to show their self-worth in front of the god of their faith.
Only if it is valuable will it be
After being promoted, many of the church's top leaders were killed by the Sword Witch. Now that many important positions are vacant, it's a good time to move up.
The Temple Knight went forward without hesitation, and then he died. Hohenheim, who was hiding inside the rebel army, used a trip rope to stop his charge. He was swarmed by the mob he looked down on and grabbed his hands and feet and other parts.
Weapons such as daggers were pierced into his body through the gaps in the armor by thieves among the crowd. When the brave team broke in to rescue him, all that was left on the ground were the broken corpses of the Temple Knights and more that had been destroyed by him. Corpses of killed rebels.
[In view of the general environment,
"It's impossible for ordinary rebels to kill him. There may really be female cadres of the Demon King's army here."
After rushing out with the corpse of their companion, the brave team stopped in the distance. The monk who looked at the corpse made his own judgment.
The Temple Knight was a bit reckless, but if he could join the brave team, his strength was beyond doubt, but now he is dead.
"Maybe there are other high-level professionals in the rebel army who have been persecuted to the point of being unable to survive."
The priest said something fair. Unlike the dead, second-generation temple knight who was a clergyman, he was a man who became a monk and joined the church as a priest.
He has faith in the gods, but he mostly uses his identity as a priest to help many people. He walks among the people and knows the sufferings of the people.
At the same time, we also know that some nobles took advantage of the investigation of the Demon King's Army to commit various crimes of persecution against innocent people.
The remaining 8 brave team faced off with the ragged rebels for a while. In the end, no fighting broke out between the two sides. The rebels were just trying to survive. They needed food and other supplies. Fighting against a group of powerful professionals would only bring disaster. Huge casualties.
The brave team lost a temple knight, but they did not want to risk attacking the rebel army. On the one hand, they did not want to kill innocent people, and on the other hand, they were worried about the threat that the Demon King's army lurking inside might pose to them.
Not long after the two teams, one large and one small, separated from each other, shouts of death came from the direction of the rebel army that was running counter to the brave team.
The brave team stopped, and the brave girl seemed to want to go back to see the situation, but the priest stopped her and told her that it might be the noble army stationed in the city, killing the low-level rebels, and then persuaded: "Go back Finally, what can you do, help the noble army kill the rebels, or help the rebels resist the noble army?"
The brave girl's steps were a bit shaky because of this question, and she didn't know what to do.
In the end, the monk comforted her: "This is all the fault of the Demon King's army. As long as we defeat the new Demon King, all this chaos will be cleared away, and our world will return to a peaceful and beautiful state!"
The brave girl believed it, and that was all she could believe. The group of people continued to move towards the direction pointed by the pendant pointer, the sacred tool given by the divine envoy.
On the way, they saw various cruel scenes, where people killed each other, creating a hell on earth.
Although there were countless corpses all over the place, every village was empty, and there were piles of civilians massacred by the noble armies everywhere.
There were also injuries on the noble side. Some nobles were hanged on top of the city. Those servants of the nobles who helped the evil were nailed to wooden frames. The sight of mosquitoes, flies and pustules all over their bodies was disgusting.
However, the civilians living in the cities where the uprisings were successful did not take this kind of scene seriously. The locals could even talk to outsiders like them about the abominable oppression and ravage that the nobles once inflicted on them, and share the story of the current uprising. After success, the self-reinforced serfs sang about the joy and pleasure of being their own masters, and recommended to them the red evil ideas spread by the Demon King's army.
The outlook of everyone in the brave team was affected. The brave girl believed that those nobles who had oppressed the common people might deserve to die, but the common people should not trust the Demon King's Army. She blamed the Demon King's Army for all the hell scenes she witnessed along the way. On his body, his inner determination to defeat the Demon King became more and more determined.
Until, the brave team traced the traces of the Demon King, and saw the Blood Demon King sitting on the throne in a destroyed country, inside the main city that smelled of blood.
The brave girl decisively drew the sword of bravery from her waist, and like a true messenger of justice, she began to read out the various crimes of the devil, and made a decision that she would represent justice to punish the world that has caused chaos and countless tragedies in the world. Declaration of the Demon King Who Killed People!
Then, the brave girl's clear and foolish eyes with determination made the Blood Demon King on the main seat laugh.
"You said I caused chaos in the world, but can you tell me how I caused chaos in the world?"
Esdeath did not dislike such stupid people with pure hearts. She did not immediately take action against the pursuing team of heroes. Instead, she asked the brave girl with interest.
"The Demon King's army has bewitched many people in the areas you occupied, causing them to set off rebellions in various countries!"
The brave girl said loudly that the reason she did not take action directly was to buy time for her companions to add buffs.
"So, what you are saying is that we should not deceive the people, but should massacre all the people in the occupied area after occupying your country?"
"Ah, this..."
The brave girl was originally stalling for time, but she didn't expect that she would be asked directly.
"In fact, it is the country behind you that is actively attacking us, and I am just defending and counterattacking.
Even in the process of defensive counterattack, we treated the civilians in the areas occupied by us better than the original rulers of those areas.
We just use the standard of treating people as human beings as the minimum standard to squeeze those people we have captured and squeeze their labor power.
So, what exactly are you talking about when you accused me just now? "
Esdeath teased the brave girl who came to her with great interest.
"..."
The brave girl's expression was a little rich. She seemed to be distracted by Esdeath's words, but after shaking her head, she threw away all the complicated thoughts. The brave girl pointed her sword directly at the demon king on the throne and said loudly: "Don't You are pretending to be stupid, the rebels in the human kingdom are rebelling, and you, the devil, are behind it!"
Seeing this, Esdeath sighed helplessly: "Well, I shouldn't say some roundabout things to a simple-minded guy."
"Yes, I was behind the rebellion in the human kingdom."
Esdeath admitted it directly, and she even explained that her purpose in doing so was to destroy the underlying foundations of those kingdoms.
"But, so what, don't forget that we are enemies. Do you think you are allowed to treat me as a demon king and attack me, but you are not allowed to fight back?"
Esdeath asked directly when the brave girl showed a true expression.
Hearing this, the brave girl was stunned. The other party seemed to be right.
"In the final analysis, the treatment given to prisoners by our Demon King's Army is so good that even the people under your kingdom miss the kindness of our Demon King's Army.
However, the top leaders of your country are indiscriminate and want to use greater violence and darkness to squeeze out the value of those at the bottom. They have forced people to rebel and allowed civil strife to occur in the country. They do not think about their own mistakes, but are prepared to do so. It's quite shameless to put such a blame on me, the devil you slander me as.
However, I, the demon king who has been slandered by you, has a good heart, and the most disdainful thing is that the people at the bottom with good intentions will be suppressed by the evil aristocratic forces that oppress them without any ability to resist, so I provide them with some small things. help.
Such as intelligence, weapons, or high-level professionals..."
Esdeath bluntly told the truth about the civil strife, leaving the brave girl in a daze.
"You are sophistry, brave man, don't be deceived by the devil!"
The monk retorted loudly, waking up the brave girl.
"yes
This is not sophistry. You can go and see it for yourself. I can provide you with the locations where the major rebel armies are currently stationed. You can go there and hear for yourself the tragic and unfair experiences of some of the people there. "
Esdeath said with a smile.
"To be honest, if you hadn't killed those rebels indiscriminately, it would have been impossible for a team of braves like you to come before me."
Esdeath said another thing. She did not mention what happened to the other brave teams, but the brave team led by the brave girl knew that before them, there were already several brave teams looking for the blood demon king. On the way, it broke and sank in the sand.
"Whether what you said is true, after I defeat you and arrest you, I will go and find out personally!"
The brave girl said that unlike those brave men who were forcibly transformed by the gods, she was the chosen brave man in this chessboard world. In her original future destiny, she would have become the brave man who defeated the dead demon king.
"You have a good heart, you are my type."
Esdeath licked her lips.
"But I prefer the S ending where you are defeated than the M where I am defeated."
She held the bone-blood sword at her waist and called out "Teacher" softly.
"They are a nice group of people, don't kill them too hard."
No. 853 reminded.
"Don't worry, I am measured. Conquering the enemy is also an important part of the war."
Esdeath's body was covered in bone and blood armor, and the painful pressure caused by No. 853's increase in strength never made this perverted apprentice uncomfortable.
On the contrary, it is normal for Esdeath to fall into the peak of bliss while wearing armor, but this will only happen if she meets an opponent who satisfies her fetish.
For example, the brave girl with clear stupid eyes right now, before the fight, the wetness alone can make No. 853 feel her excitement.
