After watching the knights arrive at the lord's mansion in the center of town.

Chen Hao returned to the villa, stopped everyone who was still practicing, and gathered everyone in the dining room to start a meeting.

"Lord Chen Hao, why are you suddenly calling us here in such a hurry, saying you want to hold a meeting? Is there something urgent?"

Eve asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Okay, everyone please be quiet for a moment, let me explain the situation."

Chen Hao nodded, sat in the main seat, and glanced around at everyone. Whether it was Kreeher, Eve, Freya, Tsukuyomi, Setsuna, or the seven maids in red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, they all cast curious glances at him.

"Just now, when I went out for a walk, I saw the Holy Lance Knights of the Kingdom of Geolar arrive here, and there were more than a thousand of them."

Chen Hao rested his chin on his hands and said calmly.

"The Holy Lance Knights? Aren't they one of the most elite forces in the Kingdom of Geolar? Why are they in this town?"

Kree asked with some surprise. As far as she knew, the Holy Lance Knights usually only operated on the battlefield. Could it be that this place was about to become a battlefield?

"Don't rush, let me finish. Besides that, I also saw that they were escorting a carriage with the royal insignia of the Kingdom of Geolar on it. Given that Freya has disappeared, the only royal family member who could carry this insignia is the Second Princess Norren."

Chen Hao was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Noren?! That guy's here too?"

Freya's expression was slightly uncomfortable. Because of Freya's memories and the lingering instincts in this body, Freya felt a little uncomfortable whenever she heard Noren's name.

"..."

Chen Hao looked at Freya with a helpless expression, his eyes slightly pleading, "Can you please let me finish what I have to say?"

"No... I'm sorry... Lord Chen Hao, I didn't mean to interrupt you, I was just a little excited... After all, Noren is really terrifying."

Freya spoke shakily, her voice slightly weak.

"...Never mind, it's not your fault. I'll continue now."

Chen Hao shook his head helplessly and continued:

"Besides, I also saw the Sword Hero Breed and Hawkeye, one of the three heroes, among these people."

"Bred, the Sword Hero? That disgusting lesbian pervert?"

"Hawkeye, one of the three heroes? One of the three strongest people in the Kingdom of Geolar besides the hero?"

Freya and Kreeher screamed almost simultaneously.

"..."

Interrupted once again, Chen Hao glanced at them helplessly, his eyes full of resentment. "Can't you two just let me finish what I have to say?"

"hey-hey……"

Under Chen Hao's rather resentful gaze, Kreeher and Freya scratched their heads somewhat embarrassedly, smiled awkwardly, and gestured for him to continue.

"With a lineup like this, I can only think of one possibility."

Chen Hao raised one finger, slowly glanced around at everyone, and then, seeing that no one interrupted this time, he continued:

"The battle between the Kingdom of Geolar and the demons on the front lines has temporarily subsided. However, in order to kill the Demon King and obtain the Philosopher's Stone, the Kingdom of Geolar will surely start a new war by using a forbidden spell to rule the world."

"And now, Braniko is undoubtedly the perfect fuse to ignite war, because there is a policy that allows humans to voluntarily donate blood and pay a deposit tax to feed monsters. The Kingdom of Geolar can completely distort this fact into the fact that the demons are forcing humans to hand over blood to feed monsters, and use this as an excuse to massacre the town."

"What?! The Kingdom of Geolar is going to massacre Branic?!"

Kreeher, Freya, Eve, Setsuna, and Tsukuyomi all cried out in surprise at the same time.

"..."

Chen Hao was helpless and didn't care about being interrupted. He chose to just give up and continued their conversation:

“That’s right. You may be shocked, but this is indeed an order that Princess Noren could come up with. Noren is a woman with almost supernatural intelligence. She is not only very good at planning schemes, but also very sharp in her insight into information.”

“She must know the truth about Braniko. It is indeed a place where humans and demons can coexist peacefully, because it is the only town where humans and demons can coexist peacefully. It also represents the last link between the two races. Once this place is slaughtered by humans, then humans and demons will completely break down and enter into an irreconcilable and complete confrontation. This is exactly the situation that the Kingdom of Geolar wants to see.”

"Because of the cold-blooded and ruthless personality that Princess Norren developed in the royal family, she can make such orders that completely disregard human life and treat life as a pawn in order to maximize her interests. Now, the Holy Lance Knights, the Sword Hero, and Hawkeye of the Three Heroes that she is leading are the strongest evidence to launch a massacre here."

After saying that, Chen Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. It felt so good to have said it all in one go.

"how so……"

Eve murmured in disbelief. She couldn't believe that there could be such cold-blooded and ruthless people in the world. To slaughter tens of thousands of innocent people just for a strategic purpose?

"That's definitely that woman's style..."

Freya smiled bitterly. That's why Freya is so afraid of her own sister. With such a cold-blooded attitude, it's not impossible that she might kill Freya one day in order to fight for the throne.
