Chapter 74 Confrontation [Two in One]



Regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, Sully has no intention of dressing like a cash cow.

But when Euphia placed a mirror in front of him, Sully realized that it wasn't that bad.

In response, Euphia raised her eyebrows and said as a matter of course: "Of course it won't be bad. Even if you don't trust these stinky men when it comes to aesthetics, you have to trust me."

Although Sully's overall style is now magnificent, his clothes do not suppress his facial features and height.

On the contrary, everything complements each other.

The reason why he felt uncomfortable was that he had never worn anything that required so many accessories. Besides, his previous dressing style had always been based on comfort.

However, even if adults can play dumb and even blind when necessary, they cannot really deny that this outfit is not only not ugly, but also looks like the costumes in some art blockbusters.

It's a style that's fine except that it's unusual.

It just doesn't match this snowy day at all...

When Su used this excuse to respond, Euphia decisively explained: "Do you see that red ring? Although it is very thin, it is still made of the flame stone that I condensed. Combined with the alchemy technology that can make the elemental stone output elements constantly, it can ensure that the temperature around you is in a stable range for a long time. So let alone wearing this clothes, even if you don't wear it, you won't feel cold."

"But these..." Suli raised his hands with difficulty speaking.

He always had the feeling that if he took two steps, his whole body would jingle. If he were in the world before the time travel, he could climb any mountain and act as the Welcoming Pine.

Cyril stood beside Sully and patted him on the shoulder. He was explaining, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Lan Zhe said directly: "Don't struggle, and don't even think about taking a few of them. These alchemy tools complement each other, and with the runes on your body, plus your natural repulsion to the elements, as long as the elementalist doesn't attack you physically, even if he is the strongest person in this world, I can guarantee that you will at least last three minutes under his hands."

"What if they really take action?" Sully suddenly understood why Egbert felt that even in a real extreme crisis, one should fight with all one's might while one can still fight.

Sully is eager to fight now.

Until he saw the Lan Zheka shell...

Mechanical and rigid.

"No, this one. This one is very good, I know. And I've been staying in the small building. How could I be beaten so easily? Besides, won't the crow follow me?"

Sully never thought in his life that he had such a strong ability to read people's faces.

"The point is that if everyone is fighting a defensive battle in the city, the enemy won't be able to get close to me easily. With so many of you here, how could they easily hit me? You don't believe in my strength, but do you also not believe in your own strength? Tell me loudly, will you allow the enemy to rush to my face and hit me?"

Lan Zhe: "That definitely won't happen."

Suli was tired: "Yes, so let's do it this way."

I can't fight any more. I'm leaving.

However, Suli, who had no idea how much of a mischievous creature the person with the dark element was, ultimately did not realize that Lan Zhe's move was simply to tear down the roof if he didn't want to open a skylight.

All elemental defenses have been arranged, so how could we easily forget physical defenses?

It's just an alchemy tool... In Suli's eyes, this kind of thing always has the concept of magic equipment, so for a moment, because of his lack of understanding of this thing, he had a dark effect.

There is no reason why a full-body defensive suit jointly created by various parties would have such a huge bug that it is not resistant to physical damage.

However, when Lan Zhe saw Su Li's compromising expression of "Forget it, forget it, let's just leave it at that", he immediately felt happy.

For the adults in the small building, entertaining children is completely non-existent.

One was that Sully would not respond accordingly, and the other was that Cyril was not fun to tease.

A situation like this can be called a rare scene.

While Lan Zhe was still sighing that he was worthy of being his master, Egbert walked up behind Cyril, patted him on the shoulder and said quietly, "Where are the paintings we agreed to have?" He wanted to order another one.

Cyril froze, not daring to say that she had forgotten about it a long time ago.

But it can't be said to be subjective forgetfulness, it's mainly because Lan Zhe gave too much pocket money. For Cyril, 100 gold coins for a painting is no longer worth his attention.

But he couldn't say it directly.

Otherwise, the previous joint training of Lan Zhe and Roy would have turned into a threesome with Egbert...all the ultimate version of the master's training.

That will kill you!

So Cyril decisively explained: "A good painting needs time and years to settle. I am still young. Instead of relying on the existing technology to deceive you, it is better to make this transaction later when I think my ability is enough to paint the Sully in my memory vividly."

The conversation went more and more smoothly, and Cyril even believed what he said at one point, and then added: "For a future artist like me, Brother Egger might as well consider investing in advance. You know, my paintings in the future will definitely not be as simple as 100 gold coins each."

Cyril believed what he said and looked very confident.

Egbert sneered, grabbed his face, and said in a deep voice: "Is this the reason why you let me go?"

Cyril: “I didn’t!”

What's the point of releasing pigeons? Release crows!

Euphia commented on the chaotic scene.

"Tsk, man."

The Lions leader looked on in silence at this group of people who were considered young to him.

"That's enough, we are going to face a war next."

Almost immediately after he finished speaking, one of Euphia's men came to report: "A large number of people from the Church and Amicbi's small army have appeared outside the city."

"The number of people from the Vatican is not that large, only about a hundred, but Amiqbi's soldiers number two to three thousand."

"This number of people really doesn't give me a chance to struggle." Euphia smiled sarcastically.

Theoretically, if a country demands that the administrator of a city within the country hand over a person, that is, the killing of Euphia who colluded with the Son of Darkness as announced in the notice... there should at least be some prior preparation.

For example, troops would be sent only after it was confirmed that the people of Sadina were resisting.

But the current situation is that troops have been sent in regardless of whether there is resistance or not.

"Do you still need to struggle?" Egbert asked calmly.

Euphia replied unhappily: "Is it so difficult for you to speak human language?"

However, although Egbert's words were a bit absurd, they were indeed true.

Euphia would never do something stupid like sacrificing herself for a city.

Giving the choice to the enemy is always the stupidest way.

It is better to bet on your own strength than on the kindness of others.

Besides, they are not in a losing battle.

Ignoring all this, after Euphia's men explained the basic strength of the enemy soldiers, she quickly made a decision: "Go to the main gate of the city."

Western-style buildings are usually more like a group of houses gathered together, without any obvious defense circle. But Sadina is different. As an autonomous region, even if the people in the city don't easily think that others will come to their door, they still need to build some facilities that are in line with the inertia of this city.

I just didn't expect that a relatively practical and iconic building like the city wall would actually be used for a day.

"I want to go too." Suli said when a group of people were planning to follow Yufia.

"No..." As soon as Egbert uttered these two words, he received a response that convinced him to the point that he couldn't say another word.

"Since the war is about to begin, it is not as safe for me to stay in this city as it is for me to stay with you. I don't want to waste too much time arguing about whether it is better to stay at home or to stay with you. All I want to say is..."

Suli looked up at the people who were already walking toward the door and said calmly, "Since we have come to this world, we must see what people who live here must experience."

There was no question of him participating in the war. If it weren't for this overly gorgeous alchemical defensive equipment, Suli would not have easily chosen to do such a thing.

He wanted to know some information, but for him, the answers in paper reports were not as good as seeing it with his own eyes.

Moreover, Suli felt that he was not a real child. Even if he could not provide military support in the war, he could at least use his brain, which had not become completely rigid as his soul aged, to provide appropriate help within his ability.

Besides, he himself is not a coward, and he would not commit suicide without the necessary conditions. But when the conditions are met, Suli is incredibly courageous.

For example, the scene where Sully faced Custer's group would still make Cyril break out in a cold sweat whenever he recalled it.

So when Egbert was about to say something, Cyril, whose face had just turned red, now dared to stare at Egbert and said, "If you don't agree, Sully will do it himself in private."

"When you don't know what happened to him and find out he's gone, you'll be the one going crazy."

Egbert finally agreed.

I could only remind him: "Don't put yourself in danger."

Then Egbert put aside all his worries and rushed towards the direction of the city wall.

Cyril and Sully noticed something was wrong and wanted to ask Sully what was going on. Instead, the three of them rushed towards the city wall at a relatively slow pace.

The adults ran fast, and when they arrived, they found a large number of armored soldiers outside the city.

Most of them stood in square formations in various areas. At first glance, they did not look like people with good communication skills.

One glance at this square formation shows that it is clearly ready for battle.

Perhaps due to the humanitarian concern of the Holy See, which the Holy See itself did not know whether it actually existed or not, it was not the royal family who spoke first. Instead, it was a patriarch whom Egbert and his companions had met once in Ziso Town who spoke first.

"As long as you hand over Euphia and prove that the city of Sadina has not been infiltrated by the Dark Church, we from the Church will not take any unnecessary actions." When the Patriarch said this, he was not only righteous but also looked as if "listening to us is your best choice."

When Euphia heard this, she felt disgusted and was about to retort, but the leader of the Lions Club held her shoulders.

The leader of the Lions Club and the Patriarch are not acquainted with each other. In case Euphia rushes up to confront the person and is then scolded back by him, it would be better for him, an unrelated uncle, to step in and resolve the issue.

What's more, the leader of the Lions Club is neither an heir nor a well-known person, and the news of the split within the alliance has not spread much. It is even more ironic that he, an ordinary mercenary, is targeting a patriarch.

"Hand over the heir of the Alliance? Why don't you just say that we should open the door to welcome you jackals? And prove that Sadina City has not been infiltrated by the Dark Church. Why don't you prove why you are your father's child?"

"Perhaps you are not your father's child at all. You are just the product of your mother cheating on your father. In this case, your father is really a typical believer in the God of Light. For love, for family, for light, he is willing to accept the cuckold and raise someone else's child."

"Oh, sorry, I suddenly forgot that the people from the Vatican were all taken away when they were very young. You may not even know that you are not your father's child. In that case, could it be that your mother had an affair with someone from the Vatican and gave birth to you?"

The leader of the Lions Club showed a somewhat naive and shy smile, and finally added: "After all, the light element is a natural gift in blood inheritance. There are not many people who have mutated into light elements among ordinary people. There are tens of thousands of elementalists in the world. How come you are the only one who has mutated into light elements among ordinary people, and you happened to be selected and sit in your current position?"

The patriarch was so angry that he covered his heart. He paused for a long time and didn't know how to refute the Lions leader.

Unlike mercenaries who grew up freely, children with light elements taken away by the Church were generally exposed to education that believed in light from a very young age.

Until they reach a certain level, undergo some changes, awaken their wisdom, or are valued by the upper echelons and brought by them for personal instruction, otherwise, for their entire lives, the Vatican clergy will only be a synonym for high-level tools.

Obviously, the Patriarch, who had never been struck by the truth and the cruelty of the world, had never experienced such blatant output of trash talk.

On top of the city wall, Euphia laughed particularly wildly.

Even if the Vatican does not want to continue using mercenaries as slaves like the royal family does, it does not mean that the Vatican is a good thing.

Euphia was filled with disdain for the fact that the two parties had united but each had their own thoughts.

This is exactly what she wanted to expose just now.

The reality was just as the Lions leader had expected. If Euphia really rushed up and said these words, the people in the church who were best at making high-sounding statements and attributing justice to themselves would be able to find ten thousand ways to refute her.

Lions leaders are different.

Euphia gave him a thumbs-up.

The leader of the Lions Club raised his chin and looked down upon the Patriarch who had no fighting ability at all.

However, when the three children finally climbed up the wall, the Patriarch below seemed to have found a way to fight back, saying righteously: "Originally, you were given a chance to save yourselves, but since you don't know how to behave, we will definitely punish you on behalf of the God of Light!"

Suli: …………

Alas.

He has seen all kinds of situations, but he has never seen anyone brainwashing themselves.

"I said, repeat it."

The city wall was too high, the area below was too far away, and there were too many reasons. Suli's shouting at the top of his lungs was not as satisfying as Cyril's casual use of the wind element to amplify the sound to the entire battlefield.

Cyril said excitedly, "Okay!"

And then, I just watched a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

"Lift up? If you are lifting up, why don't you just kneel down and wait respectfully? Even a child knows that if you want to achieve a goal and really want to worship someone, you should just kneel down and beg. It's just like when you believe in God, you always pray to God. You are willing to pray to a God who has no practical effect, but why are you not willing to kneel down and beg me? Besides, I am not the kind of person who doesn't understand the ways of the world. As long as you kneel down and beg me, I can explain to you what it means to lift up."

"Pfft." As soon as he started to laugh, he realized that he was in trouble.

It's the same thing that Sully's voice can't be carried by Cyril's wind element.

Those words, coupled with ridicule, and Suli's subsequent addition: "After all, isn't God the one you most admire? It would be embarrassing if you just casually acted on behalf of God. Moreover, if you can act on behalf of God, then why don't you just declare that you are God and act in the name of God? Wouldn't that be more comfortable than acting on behalf of others?"

At this moment, Suli simply wanted to mock the people below.

The war is about to start, and they are already planning to rob people, steal money, and brainwash people, so why bother to erect a memorial archway?

But he didn't know how terrifying it would be for the people of this world if a brain that had been bombarded with modern information were given an order to refute the opinions of others and the words that could be spoken by the controlled mouth.

The leading figures in the city were influenced by Sully and had grown over time. As a result, they had some idea of ​​how the Pope manipulated other people in the name of God.

But people outside the city are completely different.

As Sully told Crow before, it is impossible for people to believe in the beauty of self-righteousness, which is essentially a deception from hell.

Now, too, even if the Patriarch was unwilling to ponder Suli's words that should not be pondered, he could not help but wonder why God's command was only conveyed to the Pope...

The next second, when the idea that God only favors the strong occupied his mind, the Patriarch couldn't help but wonder, is strength the strength one has now, or is strength the strength one will have in the future?

Indeed, a genius who has fallen is no longer a genius, but compared to a young man who has unlimited growth and a pope who is already quite old, why would God prefer a wrinkled face...

You shouldn't think of the Pope like that!

The Patriarch shook his head desperately, and before the confusion completely clouded his mind, he shouted: "You are just nonsense!"

"You, the people of Sadina, have spoken words that disrespect the God of Light and despise the personnel of the Church. You are also unwilling to face up to your own mistakes. I, Lu Sien, hereby declare you guilty!"

As soon as the Patriarch finished speaking, the members of the Knights of Light who had already formed their battle formation below began to become even more aggressive.

Compared to the Patriarch, whose mind was suddenly confused, the members of the Knights of Light did not even think of questioning the Pope.

"It's time to fight." Euphia's expression revealed obvious ferocity.

Until now, her father is still lying in bed and unable to take care of himself, and the elemental core was seriously damaged by the attacker. Even if he recovers in the future, her father's strength will be much less than before.

Originally, everything could be done slowly, whether it was the replacement of successors of the Mercenary Alliance or something else. Slow momentum would make all changes at a slow but ultimately effective speed, and things would get better and better over time.

But now, everything is broken by external things.

But Yufia was always holding back her anger.

Now that the people in the Vatican want to be the first to take action, Euphia will naturally not miss the opportunity to roast the bird.

The fire element factor surrounded her, and its concentration was so high that people who possessed the element could clearly see a dark red color around Euphia.

Even Suli, who couldn't see any elements, could see that the clothes on Euphia were moving without wind.

But even so, Euphia seemed to be waiting for something and did not rush down the city wall directly.

Suli was helpless and could only whisper: "The enemy army currently has no leader to speak out, which is equivalent to tacitly acknowledging that the people of the Vatican will be the vanguard."

"So, go ahead. Your emotions, no matter who is borne by them below, are what they deserve."

It is difficult for people on the battlefield who are facing the struggle to judge who is right or wrong, but if political judges still choose to do so when they can avoid it, it can only mean that they are ready to bear the price and regard it as something that must be paid.

As for the responding party, if there is still unnecessary mercy, then it can only be said that life is over.

Suli closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he slowly approached the edge of the wall above the city wall. There were some holes in that place that allowed him to see clearly below.

This was Suli's decision. No matter what was involved, as long as he chose to stop it, Euphia would definitely listen to his opinion.

But Suli not only won't stop her, he even hopes that Yufia can do better.

Ignoring the momentary self-condemnation in his heart, the next second, Suli, who always puts reason first, labels himself as an ordinary mortal.

Because I'm a human, my stomach churns and my heart feels heavy when I see the Knights of Light being burned to charcoal in the flames below.

Because they are human, they know very well that weakening the enemy's combat power at this time will create more opportunities for the next mercenaries.

A tentative confrontation...

Is the person behind the enemy soldier judging his character from a distance?

Suli guessed so, but he also knew that this remote evaluation was meaningless.

Below.

Euphia snatched the long sword from a knight's hand, and after hastily blocking several long swords that were chopped in front of her, she used the fire element to guide a long column of fire in front of her, forcing the Knight of Light to retreat. Then, she stabbed the long sword in her hand straight into the heart of the nearest knight.

The author has something to say:

Thank you, my babies!

More updates in the afternoon!!
