Watching Eli leave, Rudy scratched his cheek.
"Has this guy changed his ways?"
"Could there be a conspiracy?"
Shaking his head, Rudy stopped thinking about it and walked towards his father's study.
A short while later, he arrived at the door of the study.
I knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The Duke's voice came from inside.
Rudy pushed open the door and entered, pulling up a chair to sit down at his desk. "I've come, Father."
"Um."
The Duke's gaze fell on Rudy, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
"Tell me, Princess Salina, how did you manage to trick them into coming back? Didn't the king cause you any trouble?"
His Excellency has many sources of information.
Although Saraji is very secretive, everyone knows that he is a sister-complex.
Of course, the fact that Salina eloped with a human and had a child was completely kept secret.
Rudy wouldn't reveal that the person who eloped with her back then was her.
Faced with the Duke's question, he thought for a moment and answered:
“King Salaj naturally did not want me to take Salina away, but I saved the Sacred Tree and restored life to the desertified land of the empire. I am also stronger than him.”
"Therefore, after beating him up, he had no choice but to agree to let me take Salina home."
Gerald was dumbfounded.
You even hit the king?
Aren't you afraid of causing a war?
However, considering Rudy's monstrous strength...
It seems that King Saraji has truly been defeated and subdued.
Gerald smiled with satisfaction.
“Very good. It is truly fortunate for my Mels family to have someone like you.”
After laughing happily for a while, Gerald's expression turned serious again.
"Rudy, since you came back from Meltison, did you encounter anything when you crossed the border?"
"Yes. We encountered an orc band of thieves. They are cruel and ruthless, and they will rape any woman they see passing by."
"After the assault, they would divide and eat it."
"Father, is it necessary for such a cruel race to exist? This is even worse than the Demon King's army."
Aside from the infamous goblin army, which enjoys abusing women and using them as breeding grounds, the rest of the Demon King's army mostly just kills humans.
Rudy cannot tolerate the methods used by the orc rogues now.
The Duke shook his head in response to Rudy's words.
"Rudy, have you ever considered that they might be the Demon King's army?"
Rudy was taken aback for a moment, then his spirits lifted.
"Father, do you mean that the Demon King's army was involved in stirring up trouble at the start of this imperial war?"
Duke Gerald nodded with satisfaction and said:
"That's right."
"Actually, not all orcs are this cruel."
"If everything were really this cruel, how could the Oligo Empire have been allowed to exist? It would have been annihilated by the combined forces of the two countries long ago, and then its territory would have been divided up."
“Even in human kingdoms, there are some cruel and ruthless nobles, let alone in the orc empire?”
“Rudy, it is unacceptable to destroy an entire race because of what you have seen and heard, or because of a small group of people.”
"Father, I have learned a lot!"
Rudy nodded seriously.
I was speechless.
Does Father think he wants to wipe out the orc race?
He doesn't have those kinds of thoughts at all.
His tone was indeed a bit harsh just now.
What he actually wanted to eliminate were those inhuman, cruel people.
Rudy doesn't consider himself a good person.
But at least he has a heart that wants to help the weak and punish the strong.
Who wouldn't want to be a highly praised champion of justice?
Who wouldn't want to be a superhero?
However, more often than not, due to different social environments and conditions, most people are hesitant and dare not stand up for justice.
The world before him.
Even when helping an elderly woman cross the street, you still have to worry about being scammed.
But things are different now.
Rudy hates trouble, but he'd be happy to get rid of some of the world's biggest pests.
After all, this can be considered a way to save the world and gain "saving points".
Seeing that Rudy humbly accepted the offer, the Duke nodded in satisfaction.
He was genuinely afraid that Rudy would lose himself in his immense power.
Once a race is destroyed, people's mentality will definitely change.
At this time.
Even the bravest heroes can transform into demon kings.
If someone kills a lot of people, does that person still see people as human beings?
No.
They only see people as ants, and can kill them at will.
Life is fragile.
It's far too easy to take someone's life.
Having a sense of justice is good, but staying true to one's original aspirations is more important.
"Father, is our empire really going to war with the Oligo Empire?"
Rudy wanted to confirm the news.
The Duke nodded and said, "It should be soon. I'll be going to the palace in a few days to discuss it."
"So, who in our family will go to the front lines?"
"Of course it's your second brother."
"Well, but I'm obviously stronger."
The Duke smiled slightly and said:
"Even if you are invincible in the world, you are still a child of the Duke's family. Leave some opportunities for your second brother to show his abilities. After all, he is now a deputy commander in the Imperial Legion."
"Moreover, it is not advisable to have achievements that overshadow the ruler. If you appear too powerful, it will make the royal family wary."
"Rudy, I have a special task for you."
"A special mission?"
Rudy couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I just got back and was about to take a vacation, and you want me to go on another business trip?"
