The Second Revolution, the Ninth King

Fei Leng opened his eyes and greeted the guy on the top of the cave who opened his eyes at the same time: "Kate, how long have I slept?"

Kate thought for a moment and said, "It's about a meal time."

Kate loosened his claws and landed from an upside-down position to a standing position. He retracted his black wings.

Du Pu got up quickly because of the noise, and the chains on his feet jingled. "Master Fei Leng, I'm going to go get some food!"

Fei Leng stood up and said calmly: "Kate, I told you to talk about the time instead."

Kate counted on her fingers for a while, then changed her words: "30 minutes, half an hour, or an hour and a half?"

The person curled up beside Fei Leng and fell asleep raised his upper body and reached out to knock Kate on the head. "It's half an hour, idiot."

That person, should be said to be a mixed-blood demon, except for white hair and dark green eyes, his skin is pure black, similar to the dark shadow. Only a rough outline can be seen, and a slender and well-proportioned body can be seen.

Her eyes were as cold as snake pupils. She tied up her hair and yawned, "Lord Fei Leng, you woke up for a short while, wrote something, and then fell asleep again. You woke up after such a short time."

Fei Leng walked to the side of the table, picked up the clay tablet, and saw the words on it:

[Six months later, the demons will invade the Western Continent. We will be unable to communicate for a while, and there will be a war to be fought. You will have to take care of yourself.]

The clay tablet was carved hastily but beautifully in the Chune language.

Fei sneered and handed the clay tablet to the white-haired, black-skinned female demon. "Liexia, let me test your achievements in recent time. How do you read these sentences? What do they mean?"

Although Liexia was a little stumbling, she still roughly completed the task. She wondered, "Lord Fei Leng, why did you write these sentences? I mean, I roughly understand the meaning, but this is like..."

Fei Leng continued, "It's like someone else wrote it to me, right?"

Lixia asked, "Six months? How come we didn't know? The Western Continent is where humans live? They call us demons? What does demon mean? Mother hasn't given any order yet?"

Kate asked, "Is that person related to the new things that Fei Leng taught us?"

Lexia has outstanding learning ability, while Kate has a sharper intuition. He should have noticed these differences a long time ago.

Duper brought the food, which was simply some freshly dug and cooked ground vegetables, which was much better than what they had eaten before.

Fei Leng ate a little, then looked out of the cave. He said, "Kate, focus your attention and help me see if Lady Heidi is asleep."

Kate heard this, and two red pupils appeared in his black eyes. He stayed still for a while, and then the pupils disappeared. He said, "Saint King Heidi is sleeping at my mother's feet."

"How many Holy Kings are gathered around her?"

"One, two, three... the seventh one is here... all of them." Kate said blankly.

Liexia asked: "Master Fei Leng, are you going to enter Master Heidi's body again?"

Fei Leng could feel the message conveyed by 'mother' through the underground veins. Some half-bloods with thin blood relations might not be able to feel it, but all the Holy Kings were gathered together. This was only the second time. The first time was when they were born one after another from the flower womb nurtured by their mother.

The only thing these monsters cannot resist is the orders of 'Mother'.

"No." After answering Lie Xia, Fei Leng's mouth curled up a little: "Mother can't wait any longer. She also heard the sound of the wall breaking."

Then he said, "You two get ready, we'll be there soon."

Lixia asked, "Where to?"

Fei Leng tore off a piece of rag as a cloak and said, "Let's go to the gathering of the Saint Kings."

At the same moment.

Far away, almost on the other side of the distant continent, under the mother tree itself.

Under the canopy of the giant tree, the eight gathered holy kings, or in human terms, the eight kings, all raised their heads at the same time.

They looked up at the impenetrable shadows of the trees, unable to conceal their shock.

Even Heidi, who had only known sleep all year round, raised her head from the soft plush arms.

She rubbed her eyes and murmured dazedly, "The ninth king hasn't arrived yet?"

Soon, three half-bloods appeared in a place where the half-bloods could not enter at all.

"What do you mean? Lord Damon, bastards are allowed to come in?" The demon who spoke had a pair of huge dragon wings behind him, and his raised hands were claws embedded with dragon scales. He raised his head out of habit and questioned contemptuously.

The one who led them in was Daemon, one of the five knights. He folded his black bat wings behind him and said nonchalantly, "Dagon, this is the ninth king who was personally appointed by 'Mother'."

Da Gon raised his eyebrows. "The ninth king? A bastard?"

The eight of them were kings, but they were self-proclaimed. Mother didn't care. So they divided the land, established their own kingdoms, and lived their own lives.

But this time the mother conveyed her meaning.

They were recognized as kings and the ninth king arrived.

Aglaya frowned, she smelled a familiar smell.

Soon, the three bastards in cloaks followed Damon and slowly lifted their hoods to reveal their true faces.

Aglaya's eyes widened and her pupils contracted.

Her cute little puppy narrowed his eyes and gave her a gentle smile.

"Mom, are you glad to see me?"

Her shocked expression was reflected in those dark blue eyes, and the slight sarcasm made her skin hurt.

It was not long after the peace agreement between Livier and Chugne was signed.

Around October, news broke out that high-level knights in Saranqin were split into factions, and some people took the lead in openly rebelling against Andrenon's regime.

The leader of the rebellion was Andrenong's nephew, Tels Nabuchi.

An Lienong was stabbed by him and angrily issued a nationwide wanted order to capture him alive.

The war against Chuuni was originally a key step for Anrenon to achieve predatory hegemony, and an important means to divert the domestic contradictions of the new regime. But he did not expect that Chuuni could hold out for so long and turn defeat into victory under the double-host battlefield attack of the two countries.

Saranqin, who was forced to withdraw and return home, had to face a national situation that was getting worse. The war's consumption of resources drained the treasury, which had already been emptied by termites. No one knew where the wealth of the nobles had gone. The overdraft of the people's barely supported themselves made the people miserable.

After the battle, when the news came that Livil and Chugne had reached an unconditional peace agreement, the voices for peace in the country overwhelmed the opinion of winning the war, and the people began to march and demonstrate, hoping to stop the war.

In the new parliament, the peace faction also formed the majority, but was vetoed by Andre Ng.

He could not bear such humiliation and was determined to fight Qiu Ni to the end no matter what.

He arrested the leaders of the march and jailed all those who marched on the streets of the capital.

This aroused more serious resistance. Unable to endure the high-pressure dictatorship and famine, Saranqin rioted one after another.

Some people gradually began to wake up and realize that Andrenon was just another tyrant.

His nephew Ters was the first to raise the flag.

He scolded An Lienong for breaking his revolutionary oath and failing to bring the people the life they wanted.

The knights who had the same idea as Tels took him out of the Spring Palace and now their whereabouts are unknown.

That day, Ola invited Elena to the palace.

"I told you we'd see each other soon, right?" Elena said with a smile, folding her long legs and opening her palms.

Alex sighed, "Don't be stingy, we are here to discuss serious business."

Inger brought the two men out from the back.

Elena was surprised and said, "This guy... Wow, you didn't even go to the Gray Summit Alliance to seek political asylum? And you came to Chune?"

These two people are Tels and Nineveh.

Tels's face was still a little pale, obviously he had just recovered from an injury. He glanced at Inger and said, "I read the book... I just had no other way to go. The road on the Gray Top side was blocked. I could only take a gamble, and fortunately I made the right bet."

Elena smiled and said, "Indeed, you are very lucky."

On the battlefield, Tels had fought with Alex and his men before, but because of this, he saw that the Chuones were trying their best to minimize the scale of casualties.

Tels asked, "Are you... the ones who tried to assassinate Uncle... Andrenon? You knew this would happen, right?"

He guessed right.

Alex looked at the two people with a complicated expression: "Well, but you two stopped me."

Ninifu had lowered her head from the beginning, and murmured inaudibly when she heard the words: "I'm sorry..."

Inger patted her on the shoulder and said, "Nineve, don't feel sorry for saving him. At that time, you didn't know he would do what he did now."

Tels held Ninif's hand tightly and said, "Our revolution was originally for the sake of our people to live a good life. We cannot repeat the same mistakes again."

Aola said: "It's great that you have this intention. We are here to help you."

Elena sighed exaggeratedly, "Is this a war between countries? In my opinion, you are doing charity!" She pierced Tels with sharp eyes, "And even if you say so now, how can you guarantee that you will not become the third tyrant?"

Alex frowned and said, "Because history has proven this, he is the best candidate."

Elena spread her hands: "History doesn't say I would almost die, right?"

Inger said helplessly: "Elena..."

Elena waved her hands: "Okay, okay, you have the final say, everything is for humanity, right?"

Inger also knew that Elena was just speaking casually. She had long trusted and agreed with their judgment, otherwise she would not have come here.

Tels clenched his hands and said firmly: "I can swear to the goddess. If my actions betray my people..."

Elena sneered: "Who doesn't know that the 'pledge' has long been invalid?"

At this, Ola, Alex, and Inger all looked over: "What?!"

"...You don't know?"

Elena looked at the group of people strangely.

The oath is an absolute authoritative contract that relies on the power of the goddess to be fulfilled. It can be as small as a business contract or as large as an international peace agreement. However, it usually does not contain particularly severe punishments and agreements, because the oath made to the goddess is absolutely effective and any oath must be carefully discussed.

"Ah... that's when the goddess' blessing hasn't left us." Elena explained, pointing at the world map carved on the table. "You still don't know? I've received several arbitration reports, all of which said that people who violated the oath were not punished. This happened quite early, and there were signs of it two years ago."

She leaned back and put her arms behind her head. "So, the Goddess Church in our country has been declining recently because no one can hear the voice of the Goddess anymore. Even people within the Church are questioning whether the Goddess has abandoned her people. Isn't the Grand Master of the Goddess Church here with you? Didn't you hear anything?"

Alex: "...No, the goddess gave a new oracle not long ago."

Although it is a brief message.

Assuming the Pope is not lying, the goddess still exists.

Elena sneered and said, "The only one who can hear the goddess' voice is the Pope, right? How can you be sure that what she said is true?" She paused and clapped her hands, "Oh, that's right, you were sent back by the goddess, you know the future, so just pretend I didn't say anything."

Tels stared at them in amazement.

Elena was still thinking to herself, "But I'm still curious. Since the disaster is coming and the goddess is still speaking, why did she only tell you and not us? Why doesn't the goddess solve these problems herself?"

He asked the same question that Inger had asked.

But this time, Inger had completely different ideas.

Inger's eyes trembled, and he expressed his guess: "...Because the goddess's power has weakened...they can't do anything more..."

Elena rolled her eyes: "That's also a possibility."

Alex said calmly: "If the goddess could solve any problem for humans, would there be so many disasters in human history?"

Elena snapped her fingers: "What you said agrees with me. In my opinion, the goddess is most worried about whether the entire human race or the world will be destroyed, and she doesn't care if one or two of us die."

Ola held his forehead and stopped them from continuing their outrageous words: "You disrespectful believers, shut up, Goddess."

Elena laughed twice in amusement.

Telles also sat down with a calm look on his face.

Aola said: "We will unite the military forces of the two countries to overthrow the current tyrannical regime of Saranqin. Except for the leader Anlenong and his followers, we will try our best to ensure the minimum casualties. You will sign a peace agreement with us as the leader of the new regime. Even if there is no oath of the goddess's protection, there is international credibility. If you violate it, our two countries will still unite to attack Saranqin's regime. Do you understand this? We will organize a meeting to discuss the specific matters. At present, we are just discussing it with you in advance."

Telles had a solemn expression, as if he was struggling with an issue. Was it appropriate for him to make the decision on such an important matter as the fate of a country?

Elena said casually: "Don't take this matter too seriously. Many national affairs are probably decided by just one or two people. Do you still think it's the general public?"

Inger couldn't help but smile bitterly along with Tels. This was so realistic.

Alex glanced at Elena with dissatisfaction and comforted Tels: "We promise to give you the greatest help and will not interfere too much in your internal affairs."

Elena said with a cold smile, "Aren't they already intervening now? And it's better to intervene more. Given their current situation, do you really think they can create a new system to reverse the chaos? Even if they overthrow the current regime, how can they continue? It's not certain that you can come to Qunie or Liweier to study for ten years. You have to find a path that suits you."

Aura smiled and said, "Li Weier has more experience, right?"

Elena knew she was being sarcastic, but she didn't care: "We won't take this rubbish. Saranqin has so few resources. Chuune is the fat piece of meat we are targeting."

Inger and Alex had the same speechless expression.

Ninifu tugged at Tels's clothes and said, "Let them help. I think it should be okay to do so."

Tels nodded at her.

Elena looked at the little girl with white hair and red eyes covered tightly and asked, "What's wrong with this child? Why did you bring her here?"

Alex said, "She has to stay in our country."

"Hostage?"

Inger: "No, this child will be of great help in the future war. We need her and must protect her safety."

However, what they didn't expect was that, along with the outbreak of the second Saranqin revolution, Christine's foresight dream about the demon war came.
