"Chen Hao, since you've decided to stop Princess Norren from carrying out this massacre, you must have a plan in mind, right?"
Kree asked the calm and composed young man in front of her, knowing that Chen Hao never fought a battle unprepared.
"My plan is to have no plan."
Chen Hao shrugged helplessly and continued:
"The other side is Princess Norren. When it comes to scheming, we can't beat her no matter what. She's the expert in this area, and she often gives orders that have no bottom line. If we really have to compete with her in scheming, even if we're in the dark, we'll definitely lose once she figures things out."
"Why don't you all improve your strength as soon as possible in the next few days before the war starts? Then, the six of us, plus the maids and the other seven, will make thirteen level 60 people. With our already mastered Nen abilities, each of us can easily take on a hundred people. We can then crush them with our fair and square strength and slaughter them before the Holy Lance Knights massacre innocent civilians."
"Oh, this..."
Eve, Tsukuyomi, and Setsuna were all speechless for a moment. One against a hundred? Was this something they could do?
"Don't underestimate yourselves."
Chen Hao could see the hesitation on their faces. He knew that they didn't have enough confidence. Although the training had improved their strength a lot, they hadn't really seen their limits or experienced such a large-scale battle. They were definitely not confident that they could fight against a hundred people.
"I believe in your strength. Whether it's Eve's [God and Demon Extinction Slash], or Setsuna's [Ice Wolf Crown] which is not yet fully developed, or Tsukuyomi's [Moon Bow] and [Moon Concealment] which are not yet fully developed, they are all Nen abilities that are very suitable for group battles. Moreover, you all have equipment that stores magic power, so the consumption is not a problem. Taking on a hundred people is not a problem."
"But are you prepared?"
Chen Hao's last words startled the three of them slightly: "Be prepared?" What kind of preparedness?
"You know, although the Holy Lance Knights are going to massacre Braniko, they are just following orders. We need to kill them all before they start the massacre. In essence, what we are doing is no different from what they are doing."
"They were simply following the kingdom's orders, while we were acting to protect the innocent people of Branikori and for the possibility of peaceful coexistence between humans and demons."
"But killing is an ugly and evil act. No matter how noble the reason given, it cannot cover up the fact that it is a sinful act. These knights may have their own relatives, wives and children. While we are trying to prevent this tragedy, we will also cause many other tragedies."
"I don't want to say anything stupid like killing a thousand people to save ten thousand. Life cannot be measured by numbers. No matter how we try to cover it up, the sin of killing a hundred people is an established fact."
Are you prepared?
"The awareness to bear the sin of killing one hundred people."
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he carefully observed each of them.
He had already made his decision, and the fact that he could say these words showed that he was fully prepared. His heart and actions were as clear as a mirror, and all his deeds were for the sake of justice.
Kreeher's expression was firm and calm. She had long been accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, and her sense of justice made her prepared to not ignore the evil deeds of the Kingdom of Geolar. For the sake of a peaceful future between humans and demons, she had to stop Noren's massacre here.
Freya immediately smiled sweetly after noticing Chen Hao's gaze. Although she appeared to be a well-behaved girl, she was actually unmoved by taking other people's lives because she had inherited Freya's memories. She was a scheming girl with a dark side. She only cared about Chen Hao and the people and things that Chen Hao valued. She would not care how many people she killed for Chen Hao.
The seven maids all wore the same expression: "I'm just a heartless tool." They were created as tools, given only the meaning of work and battle. They never needed to think about anything because they were just knives in Chen Hao's hands, like knights who obeyed orders.
Chen Hao was only worried about Eve, Tsukuyomi, and Setsuna. Although they were very strong now, they had only ever fought against monsters before. Apart from Tsukuyomi killing a few people to protect herself, Eve and Setsuna had not even killed a single person yet.
"Lord Chen Hao, you clearly told us not to underestimate ourselves, but the way you're looking at the three of us with such concern shows that you yourself are underestimating us!"
When Eve saw the faint worry in Chen Hao's gaze, she immediately slammed her hand on the table in annoyance and snorted coldly:
"What mere resolve? Of course I have that too! I'm a woman who swore to kill the current Demon King. I've long had the resolve to kill."
"Really? It would be more convincing if you didn't shake your legs like that when you said that."
Chen Hao casually joked, resting his chin on his hand, "No matter what, Eve is still a little scared, but she should have some awareness now."
"Lord Chen Hao, Setsuna really likes the town of Branico and doesn't want to see it destroyed by that evil kingdom of Geolar. So, Setsuna will be prepared for the worst."
