Slay the Dragon (4)

In the following battle, the human side, in Inger's words, was like a cheat, slaughtering people overwhelmingly.

It's not that the individual combat power of humans exceeds that of demons, but the morale of the human army is high, and with the high-level knights and wizards freed from their shackles, humans began to hunt demons on a large scale.

Once prey, now hunter.

The warriors no longer cared about the rivers of blood, and no one would sympathize with the demons who turned their homeland into a barren land.

They just want to give free rein to the depression they've been feeling after being suppressed for so many years.

Of course, the biggest contributor was the under-year-old Ed Yingli.

He just ate, drank, defecated, urinated, slept and played normally. The others performed their duties and took turns to protect and care for him, truly treating him like an angel sent by God.

With the combination of these multiple advantages, within half a month, nearly one-third of the land in Qiunie from the eastern coast that had been occupied had been taken back by humans.

However, when Alex was rushing from the battlefield in the south to the north, he received a piece of news.

After fighting for fifteen days, the two great wizards both lost consciousness in a pool of blood.

Archbishop Vito and the Pope are desperately trying to save them.

Because during that period, the demons in the north and the south launched attacks at the same time. The north also joined the demons from Sahe who were heading south, and most of the main knights went to the south. The north was mainly guarded by two great wizards. They used up all the magic stones they carried with them and repeatedly exhausted the magic power in their bodies. Finally, they could not hold on any longer.

It is said that when the people below found the two people, they were both in shock.

But they held out until reinforcements arrived.

Alex broke through to level nine when he held the hand of Inger, who was lying half-dead on the hospital bed.

Just like water flowing through a clear channel, he did not feel any stagnation and simply broke through that boundary naturally.

The invisible wall that he had been unable to break through no matter what in his previous life.

The magic power of the pale gold knight and the magic power of the pure white wizard blended together and ascended.

He also knew that Inger had become a ninth-level wizard.

As he traveled south he inquired about the immortal wizard.

The answer he got was to ask Inger himself.

However, after fighting together for some time, Alex no longer cared about these things.

Whether Inger has the miraculous magic of resurrection from the dead or not, whether he has hidden all this from him.

In his eyes, he was always just a person who didn't like to smile much, was very tough, but was too soft-hearted and could devote all his time and energy to saving people.

Such a person is worthy of trust and can be relied upon. There is no doubt about that.

Alex is willing to choose someone who trusts him unconditionally.

The two woke up twenty days later.

Alex went in and saw a large group of people surrounding the two of them. He smiled and reported the good news: "What a coincidence! Sister Aura, Duke Mond and I have teamed up to capture the Eyeless Demon King. He is now being held outside."

Inger's cheeks were thin from lying down for many days. He was slowly drinking porridge to replenish his energy. He looked at him with a dead face and said expressionlessly, "Why didn't you just kill him?"

Alex: "Well, this is a bit complicated." He paused, "Oh, I brought you something."

As he spoke, he took out a round object from behind his back and placed it on Inger's bed.

Inger's expressionless face turned into a choked silence.

Little Eddie had just gone through the crying, eating and sleeping stages and was now full of energy. He climbed up Inger's back, grabbed his hair and rolled down his chest.

Inger lifted it up with both hands. It was so heavy that his weak arms could hardly bear the weight.

"...Excessive obesity is not good for health. Ask his keeper to feed him less."

In the end, this was all he could say.

Everyone around burst out laughing.

The gloomy atmosphere and the smell of disinfectant seemed to be dispersed a lot by the babbling of babies and people's reckless laughter.

After Inger recovered a little, they went together to see the devil caught by Alex.

When Alex took him there, there were many humans standing next to the cage where the devil was imprisoned.

White Beate, who was caught still chatting with humans with a smile on his face, looked over at the two of them.

His white eyes were exposed and curved into two crescents, and his white scales shone with sky blue light as his dragon tail swayed up and down. His long white hair was cut in half, but it still had a noble texture like silver satin.

In terms of appearance alone, he is considered handsome among humans.

Inger was just watching what they were saying from a distance.

Bai Beit didn't seem to be afraid of being caught at all. He discussed various things about plants with humans with great interest.

In fact, Alex didn't know these demon kings in his previous life.

Inger did some research when he exchanged bodies with Fei Leng, and found that Bai Beite was a relatively gentle demon king.

He is not like the Breeding Demon King who likes to capture humans for breeding, nor is he like the Transformation Demon King who is keen on using humans for experiments. He likes plants, simply all plants, whether they are on the demon territory or the human territory.

Because he has thoroughly studied the demon plants in the demon territory, he may now prefer the novel plants of the Western Continent. After all, there are not many traces of native plants left on the Eastern Continent.

As Inger got closer he understood what Alex meant by "a little complicated".

Those gathered around Baibet were all humans who had been captured by Baibet, most of them civilians.

They all looked at Alex and Inger with pleading eyes.

Before they even opened their mouths.

Several people knelt down and grabbed Alex's pants. "Your Majesty, we are alive because of him. Can you please let him live? It's ok to keep him like this."

Alex helped them up and asked gently, "Can you tell me?"

According to the farmers' accounts, they seemed to have been captured during a raid by the demons. Their air-raid shelters were breached and their strongholds were overturned. Hao Li originally wanted to capture them for experiments, but they were taken away by Bai Beit, thus saving their lives.

After that, Bai Beit did not torture them at all. Instead, he left clean land and botanical gardens, planted crops with them, tasted the crops together, and exchanged planting experiences with them.

Because of the language barrier, they used body language at first, and later they taught each other the languages ​​of their respective places.

Everyone around him has the same feeling: Bai Beit has a very good temper.

He would never insult or punish humans. Even though he was not used to eating food made from plants from the Western Continent, he would still eat it happily, express his thoughts, and then vomit for a long time.

"If he wanted to hurt us, he wouldn't have kept us here until now." There was real emotion and compassion in the farmer's eyes.

A little kid also spoke up: "Uncle Bai is really nice, can you please not lock him up?" but his mother covered his mouth.

Inger made a sweep.

In this situation, it seems like they are wrongly accusing good people.

Bai Beit gave a harmless smile.

Do you know? The most terrifying thing is not a vicious and cruel enemy, but an enemy with a conscience. If you encounter such an enemy, what should you do?

Inger couldn't help thinking so.

However, this blind devil is still far from having a conscience.

The demon race has a different composition from human society. They are a more primitive race. They have no conscience and will not protect any creature out of pity.

Inger looked at Alex, who seemed to be thinking about how to explain it so that people could accept it better.

Inger's face was no longer smiling, and he looked a little cold as he asked, "Do you know what the power of this demon king is?"

No one answered.

Because they had never seen Bai Beit show his abilities in front of them.

"It's the ability to make plants grow." Inger paused and continued, "But it's limited to plants from the demon tribe."

Many people looked confused; they did not know what this ability meant.

Inger's words were full of sharp thorns. He said calmly: "Did you see the poisonous mist? That was produced by the demonic plants he brought. In that mist, living flesh and blood were poisoned, and the land, water, and corpses of creatures were polluted, so we can only burn them. It can help the plants grow rapidly. In the process, countless of your compatriots and their families died here. Our homeland was eroded step by step, until one day, we humans have no place to stand anymore."

"... Even so, can you still say that he is innocent?"

The people who had just been begging them stood up and fell into a heavy silence.

Alex can't be the bad guy, so he has to do it.

Inger looked at their faces one by one. Most of them did not dare to look at him and lowered their heads.

Inger walked up to Whitebet and asked him, "If you were asked to disobey your 'mother' and stop breeding seeds, could you do it?"

Bai Bei Te blinked and asked curiously: "Why not? This is my mission."

“Then all human beings will die.”

Bai Bei Te smiled and said, "Yes. But as long as I raise a group of human slaves, they will not become extinct if they are kept in captivity. And as for those plants, I want to preserve all that can be preserved and cultivate them in my botanical garden."

He would also send some of his men to other demon kings if they wanted them, because it was not a wise thing to do and it would be troublesome to conflict with other demon kings.

"Why not keep the entire Western Continent? You can do as much plant research as you want on this continent."

Bai Beit showed a puzzled expression: "That won't work. 'Mother' wants this piece of land."

He is like a broken machine, or a programmed NPC. To him, the orders of his 'mother' are the top priority, just as it is natural for humans to need to breathe air.

Inger continued emotionlessly: "What would you do if these humans died?"

Bai Bei Te answered obediently: "I'll go get a new batch?"

Inger finally asked: "Do you have sympathy for human beings? Do you want to protect them because of the feelings you have for them?"

Bai Beite asked with a smile: "Would you humans sympathize with the fish, chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep that are about to be eaten? Or would you sympathize with the ants that you accidentally stepped on?"

Inger didn't need to ask any more questions. He turned around and saw that everyone had retreated from the cage, with an indescribable sense of betrayal on their faces.

He sneered inwardly.

In fact, Bai Beit definitely did not say this on purpose. In their eyes, this is common sense.

Alex stepped forward and said seriously, "Humans will cherish and protect a person, an animal, or even an object because they have feelings for it. They value the bond between them and you, are grateful for your life-saving love, and plead for you. They are right, it's you who don't deserve it, you don't have feelings."

This is said to those people.

They showed guilty and complicated emotions.

Inger's tense face relaxed a little unconsciously.

Alex's words always have such charm.

For example, let the deceived person recognize without any resistance that he or she has been deceived and is a victim.

Bai Beit didn't seem to care about it. He raised his eyebrows and said, "This has nothing to do with me, but are you going to kill me?"

He really doesn't care about anything, not life or death.

Alex suddenly asked: "Can you betray your 'mother'?"

Bai Bei Te laughed: "Can you live without food and sleep for your whole life?"

Inger understood what Alex was thinking.

Alex's smile deepened. "You are very interested in the plants of the Western Continent, right? Before I die, I will let the botanists and farmers talk to you, but in exchange, you have to tell our people about the characteristics of the various plants on the Demon Continent, no matter how big or small."

Bai Beit's eyes widened suddenly, and the word "OK" almost jumped out of his throat immediately, but he rolled his eyes and his throat moved.

Alex patiently persuaded him, as if it wasn't him who had beaten him up two days ago: "Don't worry, we are just exchanging ideas to learn what you are most interested in. I didn't ask you to kill the demons, or tell us where the 'seed bud' is. How can this be considered betrayal? Moreover, if you do well, I will even give you a certain degree of freedom. If you are able to escape at that time, you will be able to continue your mission."

Inger: “…………”

Bai Beite: "Okay! You keep your word."

Why didn’t I notice it before? This devil is so stupid that it’s a bit pitiful.

Alex happily let the crowd disperse.
