Ever since Dark Pope Monroe was 'severely injured', Hill's military camp has become a place of considerable stress. There are quite a lot of subordinates who come and go every day, but no one dares to talk to each other, or even give each other a look. They hurried in, asked for orders with the simplest words, and then left quickly.
Under such circumstances, the only information that the Eutin traitor among the guards can get is that the Demon King is very angry at the fact that the Dark Pope Monroe was seriously injured, but it is not yet known whether it will affect his entire strategy.
The atmosphere turned when the rumors about King Oitin, Jefferson Jackson came over in a hurry. At that time, Hill was at his desk writing a plan. After Jefferson came in, he realized that he had been working continuously all afternoon. At this time, he was completely In summer, the days are getting longer and longer, which is more conducive to people's concentrated work, and it is easy for people to forget time.
Hill habitually rubbed the back of his neck with his hands, even though his body had no such problems at all.
"Master Demon King." Jefferson called out beamingly.
"It's just in time, let me go out for a walk first." Hill said after drinking the cooled tea.
It was dusk at this time, and the clouds outside were thick and piled up in the center of the sky. The wind was relatively strong, and its footsteps trampled on the setting sun scattered all over the ground.
"You are really amazing, really... unparalleled... I admire you so much!" Jefferson said in a rather enthusiastic tone.
Hill sighed slowly.
Jefferson didn't notice it, and continued: "I don't know how the Pope of Light will handle the relationship with King Eutin, your business for more than half a year, and the Eutin Empire is also considered internal and external troubles at this time... What's wrong with you? "
Hill replied honestly: "I think you're a bit noisy."
Jefferson was choked, and after a few seconds he called out depressingly: "Master Demon King..."
"Don't show such a coquettish expression to me, I won't be able to hold back." Hill said with a serious face.
Jefferson almost fell, "Demon, Lord Demon King!"
"Speaking of which, your surprised and silly expression seems to be cuter than the coquettish expression... But unfortunately, your face is a bit too similar to your father's, so I can't do it." Hill sighed, "Okay Business."
"Okay, let's get down to business." Jefferson was still in shock.
After Hill assigned Jefferson's tasks, Jefferson asked some questions, and then he said: "Actually, Lord Demon King, when we met Olivia last time, we felt that you were getting farther and farther away from us. It's getting farther and farther."
"Is that so?" Hill said.
"I chatted with you for a few words this time, and found that it seems to be an illusion..." Jefferson scratched his head after saying this, "I don't know how to say it, anyway, it's that feeling, in fact, you haven't changed, you've always been over there… "
"Yeah, it was you who opened the distance without authorization." Hill said: "You just said that you are getting farther and farther away from me, and you have been closer..."
"Sorry we..."
"Actually, the distance has always been quite far and I have never been close." Hill continued.
"Puff, cough, cough..." Jefferson almost vomited blood and died.
"Okay, let's talk a few words casually, and you have to be serious when you should be serious." Hill's tone returned to his previous look, "You and I can trust you, I am very optimistic about your family, Olivia is now Her position is well done, if she has other ideas, let her improve it by herself."
"Ah... ok, I'll tell her," Jefferson said.
"Besides you too, you have countless possibilities... In fact, after all, many people have unlimited possibilities, but..." Hill interrupted himself after speaking halfway, he smiled softly, The red pupils looked cloudy and gloomy, "This is the end of the conversation, you can take care of yourself."
Jefferson saluted cautiously: "Thank you, Lord Demon King, for your guidance."
"It's not pointing, it's just a chat between friends." Hill smiled again, "Look, you've opened the distance again."
"That, I..."
"It's nothing, it's fine like this." Hill waved his hand, "You should go, and send a message to Theodore. Since you want to do something, you might as well be bolder."
Jefferson froze for a moment, as if he had thought of something, but in the end he lowered his eyes and said with a more respectful and distanced attitude: "I obey, Lord Demon King."

Recently, another theory has been circulated on the battlefield. King Eutin wanted peace talks. At this time, Emperor Eutin could be regarded as domestic and foreign troubles. The priests of the light outside are almost alone, but the fighting power erupted by the church of light at this time is even more astonishing and terrifying.
However, it didn't work.
Hill has thrown the frontal army of the demons into it.
All-round attack from the air to the surface to the ground, ultra-long-range, long-range and close-range triple attacks, when the priest of light was meditating to sacrifice himself, suddenly the banshee began to howl together, many lights The priest was so shocked that he vomited blood.
They quickly used light magic to weaken the Banshee's Howl, and then images of succubi dancing appeared in the sky.
Priests of Light: ... ...
What a shameless demon clan! ! !
When they were concentrating quickly and re-sacrificing, the howl of the banshee sounded again, this time with a loudspeaker, and the light priests watched as a few black dwarves dragged an extra-large black speaker Out.
Priest of Light: ...
What a fight.
Is this a war? Can you guys be serious
... Well, more than half of the priests of light can no longer perform angel sacrifices.
What needs to be clear is that if it is replaced by an ascetic monk, no matter how much Hill interferes with the ascetic monk, he can complete the sacrifice. It's a big discount.
"Not surprisingly."
Death Knight Gordonia looked at this scene and said:
"Everything is within the expectations of Lord Demon King...then the next step is that the lich summons the carrion undead, and the tauren druid uses plant spells to prevent the opponent's self-destruct attack."
Following Goldnia's order, the Lich Squad and the Druid Squad immediately stepped forward to cast their spells. A few seconds later, the Eutin Empire had already launched a charge, but it happened to be caught by the rising vines and crawling on it. The summoned lich stopped him. The goblin air force dropped bombs overhead.
Since you are not going to pick up the projection stones dropped from the sky, then please bathe in the artillery fire from the sky.
Goldonia thought so.
A day later, Hill looked at the report sent by Goldnia: "The enemy was wiped out, and there were no prisoners..." After a series of formal reports, Goldnia also said later: "A battle without Passionate fighting, everything happened as a matter of course, there is no variable, even the plan is not used, there is almost no joy of victory, but the weight of the war is added. The corpses of Eutin soldiers were roasted a lot, and I stopped them in time The ghouls ate their corpses, though some of the humans in the coalition vomited anyway."
Hill wrote a reply like this: "Real wars are not won with passion and blood. It's almost over."
After finishing the work, he said with emotion: "It's true, the cruelty of war makes even a demon clan can't stand it."
Monroe's voice came from the darkness: "Maybe it's because he used to be a human being."
"You always throw cold water on me." Hill complained.
"It's not just that." Monroe said, "Compared to the previous war where you could feel the hot blood of the opponent, the way of war you innovated is too cold, as if life becomes a number, but the dead It's real, it's more blood-cooling than that."
Hill responded, closed his eyes for a while, and said nothing.

After the frontal army of the demons entered the battlefield, everything seemed to be going well. But the ascetic had been out of sight for far too long. The shock brought by the innovative tactics not only confused the enemy, but also caused the coalition forces to fall into a kind of blind self-confidence, so no one felt that the situation that was too smooth in front of them was wrong.
Until one night Hill's military tent was surrounded by ascetic monks.
In the military tent, Monroe poured Hill a glass of his favorite ice wine, and asked with a smile, "How does it feel?"
"It feels like I'm going to die." Hill said, "If there are no accidents, I guess this time it's really hanging."
It's really a master's tricks every step of the way.
Hill used the human army as a bait to force Eutin to use angel sacrifices first, and then the pope used the lives of so many ordinary priests of light to confuse Hill, and then let the ascetic monks secretly hide.
"The Pope of Light is really a formidable person, but it's a pity." Hill smashed the wine glass directly after drinking, and then he raised his voice: "Friends outside, if you want to come to visit, you should deal with the unfriendly people first. Clean, I have projection stones from the later seasons of Natsume's Book of Friends, and a lot of new movies, I think you'll have a good time here."
Immediately there were chaotic voices outside.
"You, when did you... ah!"
"Traitors, you actually betrayed my lord..."
"you… "
"How can you still use the Holy Light?"
The screams sounded one after another, and a moment later, a bloody ascetic monk entered the army tent. He was the leader of the remaining ascetic monks, and he said with bright eyes: "Master Demon King, I really like your movie, I can participate in it. Is it in your movie?"
"Of course." Hill smiled at him.
So, Your Majesty, what tricks do you have
After sending the ascetic monk away, Hill couldn't help but whistled.
03.
The seemingly logical process seems too easy.
"War is made like a child's play by you." Seeing the Grand Scholar Lennon again, the other party said this to Hill.
"Don't make such a joke, even so, we have died too many people." Hill replied in a deep voice.
And isn't that a negation of his previous efforts? Hill thought uncomfortably.
Whether as a human or as a demon, the grand scholar is always so speechless.
I hope that Alice can't help but kill him in the future... By the way, Alice seems to have a bloodthirsty tendency now...
04.
The news of the ascetic's disappearance reached the ears of the Pope Guangming. He was not angry, but sighed deeply.
Teresa next to him lowered his head. He didn't know what the Pope was thinking since the beginning of this war. Although the Pope of Light has been doing what he should do, and the war strategies he used are already quite powerful (unfortunately, he met Hill), Teresa always felt that there was something wrong.
Until now Teresa suddenly understood that the Pope of Light did not seem to have the slightest passion in this war, and he seemed to be passively participating in the war.
What no one expected was that in this vast war that swept across the entire continent, the leaders of both sides had no battles and were exhausted by the war itself.
"... What are you thinking?" Teresa couldn't help asking.
"I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that Demon King could even deal with ascetic monks." The Pope of Light said.
"But I feel like you... Is there any back trick you haven't used?" Teresa asked.
"I had a hunch that the devil might crack the angel's sacrifice, so I focused on the devil himself. I spent a lot of energy and a lot of power to find the trace of the devil—he didn't hide too much, and then I use two-thirds of the strength of the ascetic monk to attack the devil, if we succeed, although we will not win immediately, we will never fail." The pope said.
"I understand." Teresa was still sweating for Hill after hearing such a description.
"It didn't work out. It stands to reason that it should be successful... Forget it." The Pope shook his head, his eyes dimmed: "If you do it later... Of course there will be."
"What is it?" After Teresa finished asking, she felt that she was asking a little too fast. But it doesn't matter. Teresa thought.
The Pope did not answer Teresa's question, but instead said, "Walk with me."
"Okay." Teresa could only suppress her temper and said.
The two were walking in the holy city. The Pope said something about the past, but Teresa was not interested in it. He used to pretend that he was interested, but today he was too lazy to pretend, he was tired.
"...the other day I saw a little bird land on my staff, and I tried to reach out to tease it, but it flew away," said the pope.
"Don't you think it's disrespectful to God?" Theresa asked.
The Pope smiled, "Young man..."
"Yes, I'm a young man. I can't hold my breath a lot of times, and I'm too assertive. But I don't understand why you talk to me about these trivial things at such a critical moment." Teresa said .
The Pope of Light looked at Teresa with a doting smile, and said, "The last resort is to wait for them to enter the holy city, and then I enter the center of the formation under the church to sacrifice myself."
Teresa froze for a moment: "This..."
"I will suck up the power accumulated over the centuries, the church will collapse, and I will become an angel with unprecedented power." The Pope of Light said, "Then I will leave it to you."
"But this..." Just now all the impatience disappeared, Teresa really felt the feeling of confusion, "but you..."
"Is Alice really dead?" Pope Bright asked suddenly.
Teresa blurted out, "I killed her with my own hands."
"Oh." The pope responded, "It seems that the devil has not given up on the idea of separating me and you."
"...Probably so," Teresa said.
"Actually, it's fine if it's really her." The pope said this sentence without beginning or end: "Okay, walk with me again."
"Okay." Teresa replied softly.
