"The above is the process of our crusade against the Witch Cult in Mezas Territory."
Xiao Lin said calmly.
The dangerous crusade, the fierce offensive and defensive battles, and the tense pursuit battles are omitted.
It was originally due to his great achievements in defeating the White Whale and expelling the Witch Cult, but he did not hear any words of pride or boasting about taking credit from his mouth, and there was no emotional ups and downs at all.
Even if this is indeed the post-war report and summary session, at least you should be happy, right?
Yes, they have returned to the royal capital.
We are currently at the Duke's Mansion in Kurciu, discussing the whole story of this crusade against the White Whale and the Sin Archbishop.
At the same time, in addition to Kursch and Rem, Emilia was also among them.
When the Witch Cult attacked, the evacuation team was divided into two teams.
Most of the civilians were sent to the sanctuary to seek refuge with Roswaal, while the remaining small number followed Emilia to the royal capital.
After all, he is a candidate for the king's election, but he still needs to obey the orders of the council at all times.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Kurxiu took a deep breath and nodded to Xiao Lin.
She is the one who knows best how terrifying and crazy the Sin Archbishop is, so she naturally understands the thrilling process in Xiaolin's understatement report. She must have been involved in a tough battle against the Lazy Archbishop.
"If it hadn't been for Kobayashi and Reinhardt this time, there would have been heavy casualties. Even mine might have died."
He couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Soon a pair of small white hands covered it. It was Phyllis who noticed something strange and comforted her.
The cat-eared male knight cared about his master very much. After hearing that the expedition team returning to the capital was attacked by the Archbishop of Sin, he rushed into the Duke's Mansion like crazy to look for someone. When he saw the weak but awakened Kull Relax after repairing.
Her missing arm was barely saved after timely treatment.
This is good news.
Same thing on the other side.
It's just that the person who comforted him turned around.
It was obviously Rem who narrowly escaped death in a crisis, but it was Natsuki Subaru who was comforted by the fear that his expression was distorted.
It's actually not surprising.
Natsuki Subaru thought that if Reinhardt had not rescued him in time, and if he felt satisfied after rescuing Emilia and the world line was fixed, then the fact that Rem died or was killed would never be changed.
I was sweating all of a sudden.
Hidden malice may strike at any time.
Doesn't this tell him that he must not let down his guard if he wants to save everyone?
Enough shit!
The triangular-eyed boy looked gratefully at Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin nodded slightly to indicate that he didn't need to thank him.
He must have learned enough lessons after almost losing Rem.
"Let's talk about what happened to us."
After briefly sorting out the information, Kurxiu said: "On our way back, we met the Archbishop of Sin."
"Well."
Everyone's bodies tensed slightly, and the air became thicker.
Even if they already know it, they are still a little nervous when they hear this disgusting title again. After all, they already have a deep understanding of how difficult the Sin Archbishop is.
"They call themselves the Priests of Gluttony and Priests of Lust."
"What, the Priest of Lust?!"
Julius exclaimed in a low voice, which was inconsistent with his previous stable and elegant image.
"The Priest of Lust is...the one Julius mentioned?"
When heading to the Mezas Territory, Julius mentioned this name when he gave Natsuki Subaru a science guide.
Because they are the two most famous.
One of them is active, one poses greater danger, and the Priest of Lust is the latter.
Regulus Corneas...
"The other party broke through the so-called strongest border defense city alone without any injuries. Even Korgan, who was evenly matched with Mr. Wilhelm, was killed. Meow, I didn't expect to meet him here."
Phyllis took the initiative to explain that the information she could bring was a bit scary.
Natsuki Subaru exclaimed: "What did you say?! One person broke through a city? No injuries? What is that? It's a monster!"
This is no longer the level where one horse can defeat a thousand, it is completely beyond common sense.
"Yes, it's not an exaggeration to say they are monsters."
"But Reinhardt, who killed them two, is even more of a monster among monsters, right?!"
I have to say that Subaru Natsuki was jealous.
Can the man who is known as the strongest man on the face of the earth be able to easily kill even two Sin Archbishops? It was already extremely difficult for them to get rid of a lazy Archbishop.
It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!
But little did he know that Reinhardt had long classified himself as a monster, and he was also a monster who hunted monsters.
"Also, I would like to apologize to Lord Cursch."
"Why?"
"Because the members of the Iron Fang, when facing the Sin Archbishop..."
"It doesn't matter. At that time, it would be the best solution for everyone to move reinforcements. There is no reason to apologize to me."
Kursch didn't think the option at that time was to run away.
Facing an invincible enemy, the first thing to do is to flee the battlefield and then move in reinforcements, which is the so-called strategic retreat.
"Okay, okay, don't thank me anymore."
Natsuki Subaru intervened at an inappropriate time. Even if Emilia wanted to stop him, it was useless because he was more curious about another thing.
"Whether the appearance of beluga whales has anything to do with them."
"It has something to do with it. When I met the Priest of Lust and Priest of Gluttony, they seemed to know that the white whale would appear there. I think they were the ones who summoned it. Miss Rem can also testify to this."
"...I think so."
After seeing Rem's slight nod, Natsuki Subaru sighed deeply.
Wilhelm asked curiously: "What do you mean, Sir Natsuki Subaru?"
Natsuki Subaru explained: "Before fighting the Sloth Archbishop, I asked him about the trial, and the answer I got was that the white whale was deliberately summoned by the Witch Cult."
"What does this mean, meow?"
"In other words, sloth, lust, and gluttony, they are three together, rather than just appearing together...do you mean?"
Julius answered Felice’s doubts.
How unlucky is Emilia to be targeted by three Sin Archbishops?
However, it seems that several sinners were even more unlucky, and they all failed here. I guess they didn't expect it. They must have thought it was just an ordinary mission or trial, but they were killed like this.
It's really... great!
"In this way, the three major sins of Sloth, Lust, and Gluttony will disappear."
I don't know who it was, sighing, saying with a heavy heart in response to the ill-fated world.
"Ah, I remembered it."
Natsuki Subaru clapped his hands, and after everyone else looked over, he said: "Listen to Petelgeuse... The Sloth Archbishop said that there is still a vacancy for the Arrogant Archbishop, does that mean that the Arrogant Archbishop has been killed? Or maybe he is not in the same group as the other Sin Archbishops?"
"Well... we can't jump to conclusions like that."
"Yes, Subaru, maybe the Arrogant Archbishop is hiding somewhere."
"But this is very useful information. Thank you for conveying it, Natsuki-dono."
"Good job, Subaru."
Others praised Natsuki Subaru one after another, causing the triangular-eyed boy who rarely received praise to shyly scratch his head and quickly wave his hands and say it was nothing.
At this point, the entire context of the Witch Cult's attack has been sorted out.
"I have a proposal for that nya."
The cat-eared man raised his hands cheerfully, but what he said next was not cheerful.
"Phyllis, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Lord Cursch, I propose to cancel the alliance with Subaru and the others."
Just one sentence froze the air in the conference room.
This was originally something that everyone deliberately avoided talking about, but they didn't expect that Phyllis would bring it out in the open.
Natsuki Subaru's body felt hot in one breath.
But contrary to his burning heart, he asked in a calm voice: "What does that mean? Why do you want to cancel the alliance?"
"Because if you look at it, an alliance is something that is beneficial to both parties. But our interests have been offset, so there is no point in helping you."
Phyllis is right.
Kursch was also weighing the pros and cons, so he didn't stop him.
Natsuki Subaru knew very well that the next thing to say was how to impress Kursch and make her choose to form an alliance again.
"What about the forest mining rights? It's true that we help you fight the white whale, and you help us eliminate the lazy bishop, which is considered even, but..."
"If we continue the alliance, will we be helping Emilia-sama, who is being targeted by the Witch Cult? Or can Subaru guarantee that Cursio-sama will not be harmed any more?"
"But she was saved by Reinhardt, right?"
"But if we don't form an alliance, we won't be attacked at all, right? And after all, Reinhardt is Kobayashi's friend, not yours, Subaru."
"I……"
The series of questions made him hesitate and didn't know how to proceed.
Phyllis said all this because he was worried about Kurxiu's safety, but he was not qualified to persuade him. After all, it was an indisputable fact that he would be attacked by the Witch Cult.
Emilia is the vessel.
Natsuki Subaru learned the news from Archbishop Sloth. Obviously, the attacks on Emilia will become more violent in the future, and anyone involved will be involved by then.
In this case, it would be better to put aside the relationship altogether. After all, they are the opponents on the road to the king's election.
...That’s what Phyllis thinks.
"I object."
It was not Natsuki Subaru who refuted Phyllis, but Wilhelm.
"Kursch-sama was attacked by the Witch Cult. As a candidate for the next king, he must take revenge, otherwise he will be ridiculed."
"But……!"
"In addition, Lord Cursch has not made a statement yet, and as ministers, you and I can only give advice."
"Well--"
Hearing what the old swordsman said, the cat-eared man looked at the Duchess with tears in his eyes. His expression showed that he did not want to have anything to do with Emilia and the others.
By the way, the silver-haired half-elf girl lowered her head and remained silent throughout.
The other party was hurt because of her implication, so she had no right to say anything, and her heart was full of apologies.
Kurt's eyes were still closed.
After waiting for a while, she said: "I want to ask you for your answer."
"I?"
"That's right. Mr. Kobayashi is also one of Mr. Natsuki Subaru's allies, so I want to hear your answer."
The Duchess kicked the ball to Xiao Lin.
Was it because he really couldn't make up his mind, or was he taking a test, or was it conveyed through his mouth?
Xiao Lin didn't know.
but……
"I choose to continue the alliance."
"Xiao Lin!"
Hearing Xiaolin's answer, Natsuki Subaru looked happy.
If the thickest thighs abandoned him, he would really cry to death.
Kurxiu snorted, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you tell me the reason for continuing the alliance?"
"It's simple. Because Natsuki-kun is the best bait."
"Bait?"
"The whereabouts of the Witch Cult are elusive and erratic, but their target is indeed Emilia. Now that they know their target, wouldn't it be okay to use Emilia to find the Witch Cult?"
Xiaolin's answer makes sense.
Natsuki Subaru found it hard to accept that he was being used as bait, but in order to continue the alliance, he had no choice but to admit it by pinching his nose.
"Crisis is opportunity."
Xiao Lin smiled and said: "I don't deny that the Witch Cult is very troublesome. They are a group of troublesome guys like endless cockroaches, but as long as you can defeat them, you can gain a lot of fame. I don't think any candidate for the king will refuse. Bar."
Besides, they also have Reinhard, the strongest person on the planet.
Not to mention the three Sin Archbishops left, even thirty more can be easily defeated!
With the world’s own son in hand, you can speak with confidence.
"Your answer really touched my heart."
Kursch is also a very courageous character.
In fact, she had no intention of giving up her alliance with Emilia from the beginning.
If you want to get better, you have to pay the corresponding price. Exchange of equal value is something that all children know, but Phyllis was too worried about Kurt's safety, so she misjudged it.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Witch Cult is the biggest cancer in the world. If you want to gain merit and fame, there is no better way than to defeat the Witch Cult.
"Does that mean the alliance continues?"
"Ah, of course."
"snort!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his master, the cat-eared man pouted angrily and left the meeting room. Kursch had no choice but to apologize and chase after him to appease him.
As the host left the scene, the stiff atmosphere relaxed.
Natsuki Subaru took a deep breath and said, "It's finally over. I'm really exhausted."
"Are you okay Subaru (sama)." X2
Emilia and Rem said in unison.
Enjoying the care of the two beautiful girls, the triangular-eyed boy waved his hands and said, "I'm actually fine. Thanks to Xiaolin's reminder, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth."
"What are you talking about? It's all your fault, Natsuki-kun. Whether it's joining forces with Kursch and Anastasia to defeat the White Whale, or arranging for the villagers to escape to defeat the Witch Cult that launched the attack, or in the end Riding a dragon car to save Emilia, if there is a selection this time, you will undoubtedly be the best MVP."
"Is that so? I seem to have done a lot of things along the way that I'm afraid of when I think about it."
After being praised by Xiaolin, Natsuki Subaru realized how many miraculous things he had done.
It was a situation where if you made one wrong step, you would fall into an abyss of eternal destruction.
I was sweating profusely again.
