Chapter 3349 Decision

*************************************************** ***************************************

A few more days passed, and a small number of the hundreds of priests brought by Alukaqi began to be plagued by nightmares. As a last resort, they had to be sent back to the mainland.

Seeing that there is a shortage of treatment personnel, I originally sent a group of priests from Akara, but Aiwa'er took the initiative to ask for help. As long as I allow it, she can second some angels from the tribe to work as temporary workers.

I thought about it briefly and agreed. The Alliance has trained many priests over the years, but there are so many civilians in the Dark Continent. Not to mention serious illnesses, serious injuries, minor illnesses, minor pains, and injuries, there are countless other things. The priests are already too busy. If they are deployed in large numbers, , Akala may be a little tight.

It's different with angels. Although a four-winged powerhouse like Wu Geer can't be seen for the time being, there is no shortage of ordinary angels. Even those who are almost four-winged can't be borrowed temporarily. Moreover, angels have stronger healing abilities, so there is no reason not to agree to Ai Wa'er's request, and there is no need to be in trouble with him.

Ever since, Aiwa'er didn't use a day's work to bring five teams of auxiliary specialized angels from heaven. The leader was a quasi-four-winged strongman. The arrival of these angels greatly relieved the pressure on the priests. For the time being, you don’t have to worry about problems with the villagers.

However, it does not help the biggest dilemma that the Holy See Mountain is currently facing. Even if there are powerful quasi-four-wing level experts in it, even the four-wing Ugel has been defeated.

As expected, the current predicament must be solved by oneself. There is no way to rely on others and place hope on others.

Rubbing my temples, I sighed deeply.

"How many people from the Demon King's army have applied for transfer in the past few days?"

"There are five people in total." Girl Beiya held the file folder in a serious manner and stood beside me. Under the heavy pressure, this little girl who usually has a tough attitude when seeing me also seemed a little uninterested.

"Well, that helped a lot."

I tapped my index finger and nodded. No one would make fun of these five demon kings. They left not because they were cowardly, but because they were too proud.

"Where are the villagers?"

"The five people who left did not bring their relatives, and their places were given to others." Beiya explained in a low voice.

I nodded again, understanding.

When the Demon King's Army was allowed to bring relatives, there was also a limit on the number of people. Otherwise, some adventurers could bring an entire village over in minutes. However, some adventurers, for various reasons, no longer had the relatives they wanted to bring, so the quota was Naturally, it can be transferred freely. We will not care whether it is given away or sold. We can just resolve it privately.

"These people are all good and they have helped a lot." Thinking of this, I sighed.

Can all of the Demon King's army with relatives tolerate the intrusion of demons? No, but they know that once they choose to leave, those relatives who are always plagued by nightmares are likely to leave desperately. Once one person makes a move, the entire Demon King Village is likely to face disintegration and collapse.

Everyone is clamoring to go back, but it’s not impossible. The problem is that there are not so many gems.

Thinking of this, I felt a headache again and rubbed my temples.

"Hey, let me tell you, idiot Wu..." Beiya suddenly spoke, her voice no longer as sharp and pointed as before, and a little more hesitant.

"What's wrong? Don't tell me that you, the village chief, can't hold on any longer." I looked up at her and smiled.

"Nonsense, who said that His Highness can no longer support us? Even if we have to leave, His Highness will definitely be the last one to leave. Wu, a mere idiot, must not underestimate His Highness."

Beya rolled her eyes at me angrily, and had the urge to put on an iron-fingered tiger, but finally resisted, angrily left with the folder in her arms, and gave me a look at her petite and upright back.

"Huh, my highness doesn't care about you idiot Wu anymore, just worry about it alone."

"Oh, you are such an irritable little girl. Her temper has not changed at all. She just got angry just because she was joking. Right, Sirus Ecolu. When one day this little girl becomes as good-tempered as you, she will be mature. .”

I shook my head and smiled at the twin princesses who came over.

"Sister Beiya has a good temper. She usually takes good care of us and won't get angry easily. She looks like a big sister no matter what." Xilusi Aikelu leaned over and said with a happy smile.

"No way, the Beya you know and I are from the same plane?"

I pretended to be shocked, but in fact I knew it in my heart, whether it was real or pretended, Beya was really considerate when facing people like Silu Sikelu and others who were younger than her. He spoke softly several times.

When facing Vilas and the others, they often communicated on an equal footing, asked for advice on cooking skills, and chatted about daily life. They did not behave like little girls of the younger generation. In front of Artoria, they tried their best to act like a mature and steady person. leader.

I, too, often reveal my true nature in front of my good friend Jiyudia, who loves and kills each other.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the princesses lying in their arms, closing their eyes and concentrating, if you look closely, you can still find their tired looks. Even though they have not been defeated by the nightmare, they have been running around the village for several days, treating thousands of villagers. , is not an easy job, and continuous fatigue will make them more susceptible to nightmares, a vicious cycle, which is probably the case for the few priests who left.

"I was tired a few days ago. I had to treat dozens of people every day. The angel companions brought by Teacher Aiwa'er were a big help. They were very powerful. They could treat several people in one breath. We were almost out of use and could only stand aside. Just stand still."

The princesses squinted their eyes and whispered comfortably in their arms. Before I could speak, two warm and jade-like index fingers stood on my lips, speaking in unison.

"Dad, if you say something to ask us to leave at this time, we will be very sad."

"There's really nothing we can do about you. Yes, yes, yes, it's up to you. If I force you to leave, my father is just a puppy, okay?" I pinched the noses of the princesses angrily.

"Well, Xilusi (Ecolu) likes daddy the most. Let's add more energy." After saying that, his neck was hugged, and the twin princesses clinging to his arms were like coquettish puppies. He moved his body to a more comfortable position.

After a while, they reluctantly opened their eyes.

"Completed."

"so fast?"

"There's no way. If we want to replenish it, it won't be enough in one day. It's enough for the time being."

"The capacity is a bit large." I was surprised. When Lena replenished her sister's power, it would only take half a day at most.

"Because it's dad, right, Syrus (Aikolu)."

The two little princesses exchanged looks and thoughts mysteriously, which puzzled me for a while, and then they ran away with a smile on their face without any explanation.

"Are you going to be busy again?"

"This is our home court, we can't be compared to the angels, even if they are brought here by Teacher Aiwa'er."

"After replenishing enough energy from dad, we have to treat a hundred of them."

Watching the twin princesses running out of the house full of energy and then disappearing in the blink of an eye, I felt inexplicably mixed. I felt sorry for my daughter, but also very relieved. After all, they were no longer the same couple who wore black and white Goethe princess dresses and liked to stay in my arms. , a little princess who is willing to listen to anything.

Before she could close her eyes for a while, footsteps came from behind again, and her identity could be easily identified with just a soft call.

"Fan."

"Artoria."

The voice fell, and the owner of the footsteps had already arrived beside her. She was the Queen of the Elf Tribe. Even her own wife would not be able to stick to her arms rashly like the twin princesses. She had her own style of acting. Then A pair of hands that have been holding swords for many years, but still white and delicate, gently hold the back of the hand on the armrest.

"Let me guess, you have been silent for several days. Could it be that you suddenly came up with a good idea?"

"Fan." My king, who has always been majestic and strong-willed, gave a rare sigh.

"Fan, we have been waiting for you."

"wait for me?"

"Waiting for you to make your decision."

"Decision? What decision?"

"Fan, you know why you're asking."

"Okay." I scratched my head: "Actually, I also guessed this possibility, and then, you are the only one who stands out and becomes the bad guy?"

"We have discussed it, and it is most suitable for me to do it."

"So, how are you going to persuade me?" I raised my head slightly and looked at my king with interest, staring into her pure, majestic green eyes.

"Before that, I still hope to know Fan's determination first."

"What if I'm just stubborn and won't look back until I hit the wall, so I have to argue with the resentful soul?"

"I am Mortal's sword and shield." There was a faint smile in Artoria's eyes. It was a very simple sentence, but it moved me.

"In that case, why do you still stand up? Why don't you continue to wait?"

"Because... I can't bear it anymore."

"Could not bear?"

Artoria took my hand and gently placed it on her flawless face. This was already a very bold move for Her Majesty the Queen.

"In the past few days, everyone has been unintentionally adding pressure to you. I can't bear to see it anymore. If this continues, everyone will collapse."

"Look what you said, am I not doing well? Why did I suddenly collapse?"

"Anyway, I think Fan must make up his mind to do anything and have a goal in order to be able to bear the current pressure."

"Artoria..." I asked after being silent for a moment.

"What do you think...I want to ask you what you think."

My king smiled slightly and gently pushed back her golden hair. This subtle move made her look majestic and charming at the same time. There is no way to describe it well. Maybe a new word must be created, such as the femininity of a queen.

"If Fan intends to fight to the end, he may not be unable to win. The entire alliance, our elves, and other races still have some background. If we show them all, we may be able to temporarily solve the current troubles. Of course, let those resentful souls get Resting in peace may still not be possible. We can only use tricks to prevent it from threatening us for the time being. After all, it is a powerful existence that even four-winged angels cannot appease."

"If Fan is worried about the villagers but can't come up with so many gems to guarantee transmission for a while, we can also help. Lucia and the others may be a little embarrassed. After all, the orcs live in a bitter cold land. Tia, Hera and others The Dick clan is rich, but as a clan of mages, their demand for gems is also large, and they may not be able to produce much. After all, our elves are an ancient race that has spanned countless years. No matter how we decline, we have accumulated them over the years. Wealth and confidence are quite sufficient.”

"It seems that you have helped me think about all the things I have been worrying about." I took the initiative to caress Artoria's face and sighed slightly: "It's great to have such considerate and gentle wives like you. I feel like I’m addicted to eating soft food.”

"Fan is talking nonsense again. Isn't everything we do for the alliance and the mainland?" Arturia smiled softly, her majestic face flushed with embarrassment.

"No, it's not for the alliance or the mainland, it's for me." I shook my head, not intending to deceive myself.

"Actually, you haven't finished what you said, and you don't plan to say it anymore, right? The wisest way is to abandon the Holy See Hill."

Looking into my king's gentle eyes, I felt a little guilty. All this was because of my own willfulness.

Indeed, the mainland still has some foundations and some bottom-of-the-box things that have not been taken out. Once they are taken out, it should not be a problem to get through the current difficulties.

However, it is impossible to just think about the present and take out the bottom of the box now. What about the future? Two years from now?

To explain it in game terms, the current collection of resentful souls is just the BOSS in the middle of the road. Facing the BOSS in the middle of the road, you have to go all out. Only when the props are used up and the bombs are used up can you win with remaining health. The next boss is the end of the level. , what should the Big Seven do? What other trump cards can we use to resist?

"Fan, you know that with our current strength, it will be too difficult to withstand the attack of the Seven Giants in two years. When we first obtained the Holy See Mountain, there was still a trace of it in everyone's hearts for five years. We hope that a miracle may happen in five years. After all, we can get back the Holy See Mountain, which is a miracle in itself, isn't it? But now, more than two years, almost three years have passed, and although the Holy See Hill has been developing steadily, the progress is gratifying. , but it didn’t let everyone see the seeds of miracles.”

"I failed to create a miracle. It was me, the savior, who let everyone down."

"It would be better not to create a miracle." Without warning, the fragrant wind came, and when he reacted, he was already in Artoria's arms, enjoying the softness of the girl in his arms.

"Ordinary people can't imagine how much danger they have to face and how much pressure they have to bear to create miracles. Therefore, it would be better not to create. Isn't the alliance always growing? We don't actually need to be so anxious and rush, right? .”

"Artoria." In my arms, I tilted my head and thought about it, but couldn't help but rub it. As a result, my king blushed and quickly let go of me, which made me very upset. I shouldn't be greedy, but I can still do it again. Enjoy it for a while.

"I have wronged you, no, I have wronged everyone."

After thinking about it, I think I must apologize. Everyone thinks too much about me. Giving up the Holy See Hill is the wisest thing to do. Everyone can see that. However, the Little Fox and I fought hard to get back the Holy See Hill. , is another treasure passed down by the first-generation saint to the little ghost. If we give it up, we are afraid of hurting our hearts.

So, everyone is waiting. Whether I want to give up or give it a try, they will accompany me. However, I have been unable to make up my mind because the situation has become worse and worse recently and the pressure I am facing is increasing. They couldn't help it. They probably used a guessing method or something like that. In the end, Artoria stood up and became the bad guy, the bad guy who made me give up.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." Before Artoria could speak, I lowered my head again.

Then his eyes turned and fell into the depths: "Originally, after apologizing, it was time to reflect and make an immediate decision so that you can feel at ease, but I still want to wait a little longer."

"Because... the little ghost will probably come out in the next two days."
