"No! No! Please don't kill me! I just want to live! Besides, if those civilians don't resist, they won't be killed by the Holy Lance Knights either!!"
The lord of Braniko crawled backward on the ground in a sorry state, looking at Chen Hao, who was holding a wooden longsword, with horror. He dared not underestimate this wooden sword with a snake coiled around its hilt, because he had seen with his own eyes that the soldiers and guards who were protecting him had all died by this sword.
"It's no use trying to explain. Your choice has severed the demons' trust in humans. If you have anything else to say, go to hell and say it then."
Chen Hao looked down at the disheveled lord with indifferent eyes, swung his longsword, and the green light covering it directly separated and transformed the flesh that was cut along the slashing path. The absolute attack that ignored defense directly separated the target's head and body without any hindrance.
Blood splattered, a head flew off, and then fell to the ground—this was the fate of a traitor.
"Chen Hao, the lord of Braniko is dead. What will happen to the town's operation now?"
Kreeher sheathed her longsword and asked Chen Hao a question.
"Right now, the residents of Braniko are in a state of panic and mutual distrust because of Norren's declaration of massacre. Soldiers have received orders from the lord to seal the city gates, and the residents who are trapped in this predicament are bound to do some irrational things. At this time, someone needs to step up and take charge."
Chen Hao activated a healing spell, transforming the longsword Ahibis in his hand back into the shape of a serpent staff. He stretched out his hand, channeled his energy, and magically drew the lord's head into his grasp.
"The town of Braniko is now considered demon territory. The reason why the lord and soldiers are still human is simply because the demons trust them. However, right now, Princess Noren, the second princess of the great kingdom of Geolar, one of the human kingdoms, has led the Holy Lance Knights here to massacre the people. The lord has done nothing about it. Not only has he not informed the demon territory, but he has also sent soldiers to help seal off the city. This is undoubtedly an act of betrayal. The relationship between humans and demons has once again reached a freezing point, and the peaceful relationship between demons and humans in Braniko is gradually cracking due to Noren's instigation."
"I can already see the future of this town, because the Holy Lance Knights were destroyed here, Princess Noren II disappeared here, the Kingdom of Geolar will not let the demons here go, and the demons will not let the humans who betrayed them go."
"This place may soon be turned into a battlefield."
Norren lived up to her reputation as a strategist. Although the battle failed due to the divine intervention of Chen Hao and others, she still achieved strategic success through her planning. Her goal had been achieved: the peaceful situation in Braniko had been broken, and the relationship between humans and demons would once again fall into crisis.
"So, how should we deal with this situation now? The first thing we need to do is to calm the hearts of the residents."
Kree asked Chen Hao, and at the same time, she couldn't help but sigh slightly. She felt sorry for those ordinary civilians. Living in a chaotic world, the Kingdom of Geolar often stirred up wars between humans and demons for their own selfish desires. These ordinary civilians, caught between humans and demons, could not even live a normal life and could only become victims of this meaningless war.
"Of course I have ways to deal with it, but it's really troublesome. Once you get involved in this kind of thing, there's no way to get out unscathed. War is a complete whirlpool."
Chen Hao also sighed slightly. He just wanted to live a peaceful life, so why couldn't the world allow it?
"Lord Chen Hao, please continue to help this town. If this town really becomes a battlefield, then many people will become victims. If they don't want to die, they will have to flee to other towns as refugees and live a life of displacement."
Eve quickly tried to dissuade him, knowing that Chen Hao hated getting involved in troublesome matters, but the town of Braniko really needed Chen Hao's help right now.
"Lord Chen Hao, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will help you and face them with you."
Setsuna's subconscious intention was also to have Chen Hao continue to save Branico, as she believed Chen Hao definitely had the ability to do so.
“Lord Chen Hao, if it’s really dangerous and troublesome, why don’t we leave here and stop getting involved? I care more about your safety than the people of Braniko.”
Tsukuyo is different; she only feels sorry for Chen Hao.
"Chen Hao, are you sure you're confident?"
Kree asked in a deep voice, "To deal with the situation below, it's not enough to just step in and stabilize the mentality of all the residents of Braniko and continue to maintain the city's operation and management. We also need to deal with the double attack from the demons and the Kingdom of Geolar. This is undoubtedly a very heavy responsibility and pressure."
“Managing and operating a town by myself would definitely be a challenge, mainly because it feels very troublesome. But if things go smoothly with Freya, Norren will also become one of us. With her managing Braniko, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
"As for how to deal with the demons and the army of the Kingdom of Geolar, I am not without a solution."
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and the blood stored in his body space, mixed with his spiritual energy and magic power, was released together, condensing into blood mist in the air. The jewel on the staff Ashipis shone brightly, enveloping the surroundings. Using this blood as the basic material, bodies began to regenerate.
Through the magical link channel of the restoration magic, artificial souls and artificial personalities are transmitted into the bodies of androids, linked, adjusted, and fused, and one by one, the android soldiers open their eyes.
These androids, modeled after soldiers, are all superhumans standing two meters tall, with massive muscles. After a surge of energy, their bodies materialize into a technologically advanced full-body armor that covers their naked bodies, exuding an aura of majesty just by looking at them.
Their level and physical attributes are the same as Chen Hao's, at level 70, and this batch produced a total of 500 people.
"Let's begin. Activate the speech magic. I will become the lord of Braniko, protect the people here, bring a new order to this place, and rule here with absolute power."
“I know clearly that the path I am on is the right one, so I will not accept any opposing voices. From today onwards, Blarney, caught between the positions of humans and demons, will usher in independence and freedom.”
