Chapter 476 Hostages? Burden?
Chapter 476 Hostages? Burden?
Before the Demon Realm was opened, Michelle had been busy expanding the power of the Theocracy.
But he found that no matter how he expanded, the power of the Church could not support him to face two powerful enemies, the Demons and Miss, at the same time.
Under such circumstances, the Theocracy could not even wait for the first anniversary of its founding.
We must find a way to reduce the number of enemies on one side.
Michelle couldn't make peace with Miss, and the chances of success wouldn't be very high.
So, a bold idea came into his mind.
Cooperate with the demons.
Since he had to rely on one side of the enemy no matter what, Michelle decisively chose the demon tribe.
Coincidentally, in his previous plan to assassinate Peslosen’s wife, the most suitable killer could only be a demon.
Afterwards, Michelle came to the demon world through the space rift and found the owner of the Southern Demon City, the [Jealous] Demon King Jieles.
There is a deal between the Demon King Jielais and the acting commander of the Holy Knights, Hobert.
Michelle knew very well that Hobert had used the swordsman in exchange for the demon's magic eyes.
He also knew the ability of the Demon King Jealousy's magic eyes, so he easily guessed what Jielais was thinking.
In the Southern Demon King's Castle, Michelle successfully met with Jielais.
The negotiations between the two went very smoothly.
Michelle promised to find the strongest swordsman of the human race to teach Jielais swordsmanship in order to seek cooperation.
This condition was something that Jielais could not refuse.
Although he had mastered Licia's swordsmanship in the previous seven-party fight, Licia was only at level 6 at that time.
What Jielais learned through the magic eye could only allow him to reach LV6 at most.
With the war approaching, what he needed most was to fight with a stronger swordsman.
The four words "the strongest swordsman" are undoubtedly what Jielais likes most.
Plus, the two of them have a common enemy, Miss.
The cooperation was reached immediately.
Jielais also promised that after the Demon Realm is opened, he will take the initiative to protect the Kingdom of Life from invasion by other demon kings.
Soon after, the demon world opened.
According to the address given by Michel, Giles found the residence of Peslosen and his wife.
While Peslosen was away, he used the swordsmanship he learned from Licia to kill Peslosen's unarmed wife.
Michel's plan went very smoothly. Peslosen was sure that his wife was killed by Licia, so he came to the Church for help.
After doing this, Jielais also needs to lend his magic generals to Michelle to recover the black crystal magic mine in the Kingdom of Veratis.
That was all Michelle asked for.
In his opinion, Jie Laisi only knew that the black crystal magic ore was a precious resource, but he didn't know what he wanted to do with it.
This means that Giles will not have any doubts and will just complete the "mission".
According to Michel's original plan, with the assistance of Jielais, he would collect enough black crystal magic ore.
Afterwards, he decisively activated the sacrificial super-level magic and advanced to LV8.
In this way, Michelle could easily kill Giles without having to fulfill any promises.
Even if at that time, Jielais told the truth, it would be in vain for Peslosen to seek revenge on him.
LV8 is already invincible.
It’s a pity that Michelle has not been promoted to LV8 and has no capital to become domineering.
For the sake of this newly formed great alliance, he could only fulfill his promise and meet all of Jielais's requirements.
Not only that, Michelle also had to worry all the time whether Jielais would expose the inside story of their transaction after achieving his goal.
After all, he had a hunch that this time the grand alliance was not united.
All the main members have the possibility of backstabbing other members.
Michelle had to be careful.
In addition, the opponent is extremely powerful. In this situation, it is not an easy task to remain unscathed.
. . . . .
Rezevit City, inside the World Tree.
With the help of the resources accumulated by the Xilai Chamber of Commerce over the past few years, Miss issued an evacuation guide to all countries on the continent through the mansion fragment collection device.
And special sanctuary cities were designated.
All the people need to do is gather there and wait for the arrival of the island in the sky.
After the news spread, the Life Church also learned about it.
Michelle held another meeting with the demon kings.
Faced with such a big move by Miss, they couldn't just sit back and watch.
Michel advocated spreading rumors first to hinder Meath's actions.
But Ruth felt that it was a bit too restrained.
"Since he has revealed those refuge cities, why don't we destroy them one by one? Hijacking a large number of humans will definitely make him pay a price."
Michelle shook her head. "No, I feel like Miss's actions seem a bit deliberate. Spreading the news with such fanfare is probably intended to mislead us."
In his opinion, if he still responded according to normal thinking this time, he would definitely fall into the trap set by Miss.
After all, this is not their first time fighting.
His rich experience told him that he couldn't make a decision easily at this moment.
Avervanxon seemed to agree with Michelle, "I think it could be a trap."
"If they deploy forces in those sanctuary cities and engage us in battle, we will become targets to be defeated one by one," Hatti speculated.
Ruth said disdainfully: "So what? We can also act together, isn't that enough?"
Jielais nodded and said, "That's right, doesn't Michelle know teleportation magic? Just mark it and we can get together anytime."
As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Ruth beside him, and both of them smiled imperceptibly.
The final battle that the two of them were looking forward to was a big melee with everyone gathered together.
The scene was chaotic and the personnel were complicated.
Only under such conditions would they have the opportunity to attack their allies.
If we form an alliance but then have to separate and fight on our own, then isn't this alliance in vain?
"The most important thing is that taking a large number of hostages is undoubtedly a good thing for us," said Giles.
After listening to his analysis, Avervanxon sighed.
"If you really think so, you're fooled."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Avervanxen.
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't Mis a [Hero]? He must be most concerned about the human race."
"Avervanxon, weren't you like this before?"
Avervanxon was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Miss is different."
"He's an extremely selfish guy."
"In his eyes, there are only family and friends, there is no such concept as 'tribe members'."
"When the time comes for him to make a choice, he will only choose himself and will never choose the human race."
"That's why I said that his propaganda of leading the tribe to seek refuge was a conspiracy."
"From what I understand, what Miss will do is either hide in the World Tree to avoid the battle, or actively attack us."
"He would never allow the so-called 'hostages' to become a burden to himself."
