The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated: 909 Complicated and sinister human nature
lnmao.org, the fastest update of the devil does not have to be defeated in the latest chapter!
The Kingdom of Mithra, the northern border, the Duke of Stirrim.
In the past, this was one of the best territories and powers in the Mithra Kingdom.
There is no other reason, just because it is a duke who dominates here, a relative of the royal family who has blood relationship with the Mithra royal family.
Furthermore, the status of Duke Stirrim in the Kingdom of Mithra is not comparable to that of ordinary dukes.
It borders the territory of the Ragnar Empire. When the Ragnar Empire and the Mithra Kingdom are rivals, once the Mithra Kingdom is invaded, it will be the first to be taken by the Ragnar Empire. Where the iron rider stepped into.
It has fought against the army of the Ragnar Empire and the Imperial Knights several times, fought many small-scale wars, and finally successfully repelled the army of the Ragnar Empire.
It can be said that the Duke of Sterling is the first line of defense to guard the kingdom from the hands of the Ragnar Empire.
The kingdom's territory has not been invaded by the Ragnar Empire in these thousand years, and the credit of the Duke of Stirrim is indelible.
Of course, the status of the Sterling family in the kingdom has become extremely good, and even the king has to give the Patriarch a three-point face.
Unfortunately, the glory of the Sterling House is no longer there.
As the Jagged General's Patriarch, he disappeared about half a year ago, and his life and death are unknown.
The only son of the Sterling family, who is the heir to the family, also disappeared in the Cosmos incident.
Even the first knights, the knight commander, and the knight commander, who was the strongest man in the realm, disappeared together.
The disappearance of such a group of important people and important combat forces has completely pushed the Strim family into the abyss.
They exhausted countless manpower and material resources in the process of searching for the patriarch, family heir, and the first knights of the territory, and they finally returned to no avail.
After they gave up the search, in order to decide the next Patriarch, they started a very serious infighting, and even infighting, which caused the family to be unable to gain peace and ease the huge loss this time.
In addition to the various bad consequences caused by the Cosmos incident, and the serious internal fighting between the family owners, the poor management and poor management of the territory, half a year later, even if this territory has not become a livelihood, it is still different. Not far away.
If it wasn't for the empire to have a coup d'etat a while ago, then the former emperor would definitely take the opportunity to send an army to attack the Duke of Sterling, and use this as a springboard to attack the Kingdom of Mithra?
The Strim family escaped because of the coup in the Empire.
It can be a catastrophe, and a catastrophe will regenerate.
This time, Helemis led [the original demon] to dispatch collectively and spread the countless army of refining demons and the army of demon larvae cultivated over the millennia to the human world, and let them attack cities all over the human world. This directly caused the destruction of the Duke of Sterling.
If Barry, Limjo and others are still there, and the Strim House is still the same as the previous Strim House, then maybe we can find a way to survive.
However, the current Strim family has lost the Patriarch, Heir, First Strong and First Knights, and after a serious internal fight, it is no longer possible to stop the incoming monster army.
So, as early as a month ago, the Duke of Sterling fell.
Here is completely reduced to a paradise for refining demons and demon larvae.
Cities have also been destroyed one after another.
People flee for their lives, sacrifice for their lives, and have to avoid the slaughter of monsters outside. It's just like being in hell.
As a result, lucky people can still escape to the city next door, and are taken in as refugees by the city that can barely survive. Unfortunately, they can only be chased by monsters and floundered, worrying all day long, not dying. In the hands of the devil, he died of hunger, very miserable.
Of course, there are many people who are still lingering.
They worked hard to survive, and hoped to reach the territorial territory under the threat of monsters, enter a safer city, and get rescued.
Sheen encountered many such refugees after entering the Duke of Sterling.
Then Sheen shot.
"Pouch!"
Along with a golden slash traversing the air, a refining demon was chopped in half by the bright sword light, turned into a corpse, and fell into a pool of blood.
"Roar!"
"Wow!"
The few refining demons around as if seized the opportunity, rushed towards the mysterious swordsman who was holding a holy sword, wearing a black robe and a hood on his head, like crazy and demon, fearless to death.
But this is in vain.
The mysterious swordsman in the black robe slid forward without retreating, and swept in the direction of those refining demons like a gust of wind. Before they could react, they deceived themselves in front of them.
"Pouch!"
The leading demon was cut by the golden sword light and split into two. It actually ran a certain distance along the inertia before falling down with blood all over it.
"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"...
The mysterious swordsman in black robes turned into ghosts and charms. While passing by the few refining demons, the holy sword in his hand also cut through their bodies, beheading them all on the spot.
In a blink of an eye, all the refining demons turned into corpses, falling into a pool of blood one by one, turning into broken limbs under the ice and snow, creating a bleeding scene.
The swordsman in the black robe stopped now, standing in the sea of blood on the corpse mountain, the sword in his hand was gorgeous and dazzling.
Not far away, a group of ragged and sallow-looking refugees knelt down.
"Thank you for your help!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
They were grateful for the screaming loud cry, as if they had seen the savior.
The swordsman didn't look back, he just said in a deep voice.
"Hurry up and leave now, take a more remote path, and seek refuge in the nearest city."
As soon as this was said, the faces of the refugees changed.
"My lord, are you not with us?"
"Please come with us!"
"We need you!"
"Without the protection of a strong person like you, we will definitely die!"
The refugees bowed down again.
But what they greeted was just a sharp look.
"Don't get into an inch, go quickly."
The cold words made the refugees pale suddenly.
Realizing that the strong man in front of them cannot protect themselves fully, they can only leave with disappointment and defeat, even anger and resentment.
It didn't take long for the refugees to disappear.
"Ugh..."
The swordsman sighed faintly, then took off his hood, revealing his true face.
That is naturally Xien who hid his identity, left the capital, and came here quietly.
"This is the twelfth batch, right?"
Sheen murmured, looking helpless.
In less than half a day after entering the Duke of Sterling, Sean rescued a full twelve batches of refugees from the hands of Demon Refining, and the number of refugees encountered was countless.
In the beginning, Sheehan would also provide these refugees with food or routes, or even protect them from a distance, let them go to a safe place, but the same thing happened again and again, and some people tried to kidnap them morally. The awe-inspiring reason to let Sheen protect them, and even after taking care of them, Sheen will no longer be kind, and will only help them when they are in danger. If there is no danger, he will bypass it directly, not Meet the refugee team.
It's not that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, but that he is really in all kinds of life, there are all kinds of people, which really annoys him.
It can only be said that in the face of life and death crisis, there are really too few people who can maintain their heart and do not reveal their nature.
Sheen even encountered several waves of refugees and saw a very unpleasant situation.
Those people, rather than trying to survive, are crazy in hell. In order to survive, they are like using their wives and children as shields, or taking the living people's skin and cramps to fill their stomachs. , All happened.
Furthermore, some refugee teams are completely ruled by a few bullies. Men are sent out as victims to find food or to distract monsters, and women are used to vent their desires.
For this reason, Sheen did not kill less along the way.
"Is this human nature?"
Sheehan is in a very mixed mood.
So, even if he will save people now, he will not blindly take care of the other person, at most resolve the other party's crisis, and then let them leave quickly by themselves.
Even so, there are still many people resenting Sheehan for being unwilling to protect them like the refugees just now.
I can only say that fortunately, Sheen doesn’t have that leisure time now, otherwise, he doesn’t mind letting those who can’t recognize reality know what it means to be grateful.
"I really don't know how many cases of the same thing exist in this world."
The thought of the entire human world has become such a hell, Sheehan's mood really doesn't feel good.
"Forget it, keep going."
Sheen cleared up his mood and continued to turn north.
At this time, he was not far from Cosmos.
In this way, Sean flashes all the way, faster and faster, as long as he does not encounter refugees chased by demons, or encounters demon larvae that are extremely threatening to ordinary people, he will not stop. .
Under these circumstances, Sheen finally arrived in Cosmos before night fell.
"Huh!"
As the air oscillated, Sheen appeared in the sky above Cosmos in a black robe.
Sheen looked down at the city below.
I saw that Cosmos, who was once razed to the ground in Lilith's hands, has now been built.
An entire city, in a short period of about half a year, was completely restored to its original appearance like a steel military fortress.
The streets and buildings inside are not as chaotic as they were when Sheehan came to Cosmos last time.
At that time, due to the chaos of space, buildings and even people were randomly moved, making the entire Cosmos chaotic.
Now, the city has recovered, it has become orderly, the streets are clear, and the buildings are arranged extremely regularly, not losing to the royal capital at all.
It's just that in Cosmos, there are also changes that haven't been there in the past.
That is, the people in it no longer have human figures, but only orcs and dwarves.
Yes.
Cosmos has become a world of orcs and dwarves.
"The situation is the same as mentioned in the information Rosie gave me."
Sheen muttered to herself like this.
According to Rosie, the current Cosmos is no longer the Cosmos of the past.
In the past Cosmos, due to its location and nature, not only had kingdoms and empires active in it, but also tribes of orcs and blacksmiths of dwarves lived in it.
But now, humans have withdrawn from Cosmos.
The reason is simple.
Geula regards the crevices in the world as a base, and that naturally will not allow humans to continue to appear here.
He ordered the orcs to expel all the humans in the city from outside the city and completely occupy Cosmos when the human knights resisted the army of refining demons.
Therefore, in the current Cosmos, there are only the orcs that are dominated by Geula, and the alliance with the orcs, and they betrayed the humans and joined the new [primitive demon] dwarves.
Thanks to this, it seems that the army of demon refining will not attack Cosmos. Obviously, it is the new born [original demon] who has done something so that the refining and demon larvae no longer regard Cosmos as an attack target.
In other words...
"This can be regarded as the stronghold of the orcs for the time being, right?"
Sheehan thinks so.
He squinted his eyes, let go of the [External Sense of Destiny]'s induction power, enveloped the city below, and started investigating.
In this investigation, Sheehan really found a lot of things.
For example, the enchantment surrounding Cosmos is obviously not a product of Human Race or Protoss, but a special enchantment produced by Demon Race.
For another example, although Cosmos has not been attacked, the atmosphere in the city is not lively, but rather heavy.
In the center of the city, there seems to be something "something" exuding strange magic power and emitting strange pulses.
The pulsation, like the irregular fluctuations emanating from the space itself, is quite similar to the fluctuations emanating from the mysterious transfer phenomenon that occurred during the previous Cosmos event.
"Could it be..."
Sheehan's thoughts turned straight.
But in the end, he decided to go first and have a look.
"Huh!"
The air vibrated suddenly, causing Sheehan to disappear here.
Sheen entered Cosmos and entered the city that had been missing for half a year.
......
"Qiang——Qiang——Qiang——"
On the streets where people come and go, there is no shouting, no lively discussion, and some only the very obvious sound of iron strikes.
Some blacksmiths seem to occupy the street side shops here casually, transform those shops into weapons shops, and are building all kinds of weapons.
The orcs are walking on the streets here in twos and threes, looking at the dwarves in the shops, but they are definitely not friendly.
Sheehan walked on the street and mixed in with the crowd.
He didn't show up, instead he hid his figure with the super concealment ability of [Lijue Destiny], wandering aimlessly in the crowd.
But his [External Sense of Destiny]'s induction power is still unfolding, allowing him to clearly hear the voice of some conversations from around him.
"This city has really become boring."
"There are no foreign merchants selling magic items, nor too much entertainment. Only these dwarves build weapons every day."
"No way, who made them prepare us to fight against humans and elves?"
"All these dwarves were brought over by the king of the dwarf race. They should be the ones who advocate betrayal, and are enemies of humans and elves, and want to start a war, right?"
"Damn, a group of blasphemers who betrayed the goddess."
"Shhh, don't speak so loudly, the quiet voice was banned by the law enforcement team."
Many orcs made such whispers when passing by the dwarf shop.
The eyes they looked at the dwarves who built the weapons were clearly unfriendly, and even a little hostile. When they talked about war, they were obviously sad and extremely reluctant.
But they dare not express such thoughts blatantly.
Because, from time to time, there will be some orc troops with weapons in their hands and shame-faced faces passing by, like patrols or supervision, their eyes are like torches, and they scan the surrounding orcs coldly.
Being so stared at by these orc warriors, those orcs naturally did not dare to speak out, so they could only lower their heads and pass quickly, obviously very afraid of those orc warriors.
In a situation like this, Sheehan has seen him many times since he entered Cosmos.
"Sure enough, as Lydas and Anima said, not all orcs want to start a war and betray the Protoss and Humans."
Sheen thoughtfully.
He discovered that, except for the orc warriors who seemed to be the law enforcement team, there was an obvious smell of blood, and they knew that they had gone through a lot of slaughter.
They are like beasts locked in a cage, trying to break free, but unable to break free.
Because they have scruples and fears.
Since there are still a lot of such orcs, it can even be said that they occupy most of the population of Cosmos.
"This is interesting."
Sheen muttered to herself.
