Chapter 54 The coalition forces set out

. No brains.

Doro, Lisiduowei, Rose, A.Xion.

Generally speaking, except for the demon king Moher himself, the people in the mansion are smart, but they are not good at using strategies. Of course, Moher first questioned the hero's fall. She was willing to give the highest respect to this hero.

So let's treat Doro as having a brain.

Others don't need to care too much. When Lisiduowei was created, Moher gave her intelligence, but judging from her past performance, she didn't need it at all!

This vampire queen has done a lot of bad things, which is enough to prove that she has no foresight and lacks the cultivation to think calmly. If it is described in human words, it is "not deep" but "bad temper". Always think that you are superior to others-if possible, you should really let her go to the human nobles for serious training to see how people with scheming live.

As for Rose?

The original Frodnik, to put it in a less pleasant way, was "a country bumpkin, what kind of education can you expect from her?"

The only one who could be considered noble was A. Sion. Frodnik was considered a disciple of a famous family, but it was obvious that A. Sion did not teach her anything other than swordsmanship. And A. Sion herself was... just a little girl who knew nothing.

So, Moher didn't think that this group of people could see what she was thinking. Therefore, even if she knew that Lisiduowei was listening, she didn't mind at all. Let her think about it! How could they play this trick?

Now that she had done a good job of setting up her innocent character, how could she let Xia Di and the others kill Lisiduowei?

A smile gradually appeared on Moher's face.

I wonder if they still remember.

Rose placed a sculpture of Xia Di in the White Church!

Moher could sense the sculpture.

The White Church did not destroy the sculpture.

It was the thing used to deal with Xia Di at that time.

…

It takes time to form a coalition army. Usually, it may take more than half a month for the various corps to arrive, select soldiers and generals, and prepare food and supplies. Despite various auxiliary means, it took about a whole month from the meeting that day to the official departure of the coalition army.

Since the joint army has been officially established,

Xia Di will serve as the official commander of the army.

This can also be regarded as a change of power in the church. You know, although Xia Di is extremely powerful, according to the convention of the church, the saint does not get involved in the decision of the war, and the saint does not command the army.

She has broken this convention, of course, the price is a pair of arms, she can't grow her arms again, even if it is just a show.

Those old guys will be more and more defensive against Xia Di, and it is not impossible to backstab her at any time. Xia Di certainly has such awareness. This war is particularly important to her.

"Mr. Bai Luther, what do you think?"

Bai Luther looked at Xia Di, who was wearing the so-called "holy armor". Although he was already an old man, he used to be vigorous, but now he seemed to have lost all his energy. He realized more clearly than anyone else that because of his own problems and his own impoliteness, some changes had occurred within the church.

"Lady Saint, why did you let a sinner like me come to supervise the battle?"

Bai Luther didn't understand.

Xia Di just smiled: "Mr. Bai Luther, a momentary mistake cannot change the fact that you are loyal to the church. I demand that you must be punished because I must let the majority of believers know that there is a price to pay for doing something wrong, but I also remember your contribution to the church - with your wisdom and help, this crusade will be much smoother."

This is of course not true...

Bai Luther instinctively thought so. If someone else said this, he would definitely think it was some kind of trap, some kind of words used to deceive people, but it was Xia Di who said this.

Saint Xia Di.

It is "holy".

As the person closest to God in the world, Bai Luther's faith did not allow him to have such dirty speculations about Xia Di. He could only be grateful: "Lady Saint, if there is any use for my old bones, please use me as much as you can. If this can atone for some of my sins and make God forgive my sins a little, it will be the greatest honor of my life!"

"God will forgive you. I will report your merits to God."

My merits...

White Luther dared not have any illusions. He could only offer his loyalty.

——Shadi was of course lying!

The purpose of bringing White Luther was certainly not to save this old man. In fact, this bad old man made people quite unhappy. If he hadn't had problems in the capital, he would have been able to take down the Demon King and Godora together... He was forced to give up the church of Naluen, so that the faith power accumulated there for a long time was all dissipated, and even the faith of the city itself was shaken - this account could not be calculated.

However, White Luther's status is beyond doubt.

Since he can stay in the cathedral of the human central empire as a bishop, it is enough to show his "status" in the church, in the human empire. In fact, there are really many stories about White Luther when he was young in this world. Those seem like miracles - after all, this person is very weak.

Whether those deeds were made up by White Luther himself or happened for various reasons, she, Shadi, as a saint, must show the "mercy of the saint". This is the case with demanding punishment, and it is also the case with bringing out White Luther to make meritorious service. This is also to allow power to flow smoothly into one's hands, to give those old guys a reassurance, to make them feel that they dare not really turn against them, and to rely on their breath, so they have to bring out White Luther from house arrest and give them a step down.

Of course, some people may feel that their minds are not pure, but this is a good choice for everyone, so no one will object.

However, from her own point of view, there is only one purpose for bringing White Luther - that is to take the blame.

Just as everyone knows, this war was not originally launched simply for the Demon King and the old heroes.

Why is the Human Central Empire called the Central Empire?

Of course, it is because there are still some scattered small countries around it, various races, and human countries that do not intend to submit to the Central Empire - in such a war, what needs to be done is to annex these various small countries. Regarding the annexation plan, she has discussed it with the wise king in advance.

The excuses for the war are, of course, "there are clues of the appearance of the Demon King", "there are traces of the appearance of the Hero", "there is collusion with the Bloody Queen"... As for whether there are any, in front of such a holy army, it has lost its meaning.

After all, these small countries say there are no, then do you dare to let me go in to check?

I just want the army to enter the country, then it is not up to these small countries to decide whether there are any. As for whether these small countries are likely to unite to form a large army to fight against the Human Central Empire and the White Church, plus the legion composed of the Magician Guild, the Alchemist Association, and the Curse Master Alliance?

Don't be funny.

This lineup can be pulled over to fight a conventional war with the elves and dwarves.

Those are the other two major races.

Not letting them enter the country means that there is something wrong, helping the Demon King and the former Hero to hide.

Then the method of entry must be changed.

So - even if Xia Di knew that the Demon King and Godora were actually very likely to be in a remote location in the Human Central Empire, her army still went straight to the border.

Of course, she didn't say that there was no target. At least we should pretend to achieve some results. The Demon King communicated with me through the sculpture. She was testing me, and I should test her.

In the direction she was heading, to the west of the Human Central Empire, there was a small "Lizardman" kingdom.

Because a large area of ​​this kingdom was desert, it was actually not worth ruling. Simply put, the wise king looked down on this land.

However, there was a very key person in this place.

In the past, some people betrayed the demons, such as Li Siduowei, who chose to stand on the side of humans. Correspondingly, there were also people who were loyal to the Demon King, chose to hide themselves, and planned to overthrow human rule one day.

There was such an existence in the Lizardman Kingdom - this was something the church discovered about seven or eight years ago, but the church has not taken any action, just to be able to use it at this time.

The first battle will be fought here.

To prove to the world that we are not messing around, if it is for territory, why bother to attack the barren Lizardman Kingdom? We mobilized the army and did not hesitate to consume a lot - all for the world! In order to prevent the demons from making a comeback! With such an example, subsequent actions will be justified.

So, will the Demon King take action? She herself probably doesn't know that she still has loyal subordinates in the Lizardman Kingdom... and the demons who stick by her, hide themselves for her, and hide their identities... If he knew, what would the Demon King do?

The last meeting made Xia Di realize that the Demon King is completely different. She must re-establish her understanding of the Demon King.

Communication through the sculpture is very simple. Some things just need everyone to have a tacit understanding, and the final result is consistent. As for how the process progresses and how much of the benefits everyone can get from such twists and turns, doesn't it depend on their own abilities?

"Let me see which old acquaintance is hiding there."

The army marched towards the Lizardman Kingdom.
