My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

At this time, the walls of Saint Laurent City had been controlled by the coalition forces. Because the war broke out in the city, not many soldiers would pay attention to the situation outside the city.

At this time, a soldier saw the neatly arranged army outside the city and shook his companion curiously.

"Hey, do we have any reinforcements here?"

The companions around him were deserting. Their work of guarding the gate was the safest and easiest now. Hearing the words next to him, he turned his head.

Then he was stunned.

"How can this be reinforcements? Their formation is clearly to fight us!"

Having said that, the soldier hurriedly shouted:

"There is an enemy attack! Close the city gate quickly!"

The soldiers next to him heard this shout and had not reacted yet. Then, countless arrows shot towards the city gate. Several soldiers were caught off guard and were shot to the ground in an instant. Others also realized that something was wrong at this time, so they came to the city gate and quickly closed the city gate.

"Hurry up, report to the commander, we need support! We need support!"

The captain of the gatekeeper hurriedly ordered a soldier to go back and report.

Such scenes are happening at the four gates of Saint Laurent City.

Arthas was sitting in the palace hall when Langdon walked in.

"Your Majesty, we originally expected the enemy to launch a wave of attacks today, but the enemy has not launched yet. Not only that, the number of enemies has also decreased."

"I know, you can leave."

Arthas said this, and smiled rarely.

Chapter 64: Suspicion

"Every gate we control has been attacked by unknown troops, and two gates have been lost. They are marching into the street."

Litt was in the coalition headquarters, reporting to the senior officials present what happened at the gate before.

"We have withdrawn a large number of troops to defend the outside, but this sudden army is very powerful. Unless we give up attacking the palace and concentrate all our efforts to deal with them, even so, victory cannot be guaranteed."

After hearing Litt's report, everyone present fell silent.

Lucius spoke first.

"Do you think this scene looks familiar? The strange army is very powerful... Is it similar to the army transformed by the cultists that appeared in the Duke of Naples before?"

After hearing Lucius' words, everyone who had experienced the second half of the Battle of Naples was awakened.

Martin also spoke at this time:

"Yes, but it stands to reason that people from outside the 'Eternal Night' area cannot enter, so how did this army get in?"

"Is there a possibility that this army is not from outside at all?"

Orson said at this time.

"But when we attacked, we had already ensured that there were no enemies around..."

Martin looked at Orson in confusion.

Since they were not from outside, how could such a small place hide so many troops?

"Lite, have we seized any weapons or armor from the enemy?"

"That's right." Lit nodded.

"Then take those things out quickly."

"Okay."

After a while, a set of armor was brought to the hall.

Lucius was the first to react. He came to the armor and carefully observed the paint and style of the armor, and then said:

"This is not the armor of the imperial army. At least, I have never seen this kind of armor in the imperial army since I joined the army."

"It is not the armor of any duke or earl, because there is no family emblem on the chest, but the royal military emblem."

"Then..." Orson also stood up at this time and walked to Lucius.

"Father, is there a possibility that this is the armor of the old empire?"

"Impossible..." Lucius narrowed his eyes when he heard it.

"I don't know anything else, but in terms of armor, unless there is a major improvement in casting technology or design, otherwise, most armor styles will remain unchanged for hundreds of years. Orson, do you mean that this is armor from hundreds of years ago?"

"Why is it impossible?" Orson said this and pointed out the window.

"Aren't there many cemeteries outside Saint Laurent? In addition to burying the people of the empire, aren't the most common cemeteries there those soldiers who died in the battles of the empire?"

"So, you mean... this army crawled out of the cemetery?"

"Yes."

Orson nodded.

"It seems that this is the only explanation at present, right? After all, Saint Laurent itself is a huge magic circle. The empire has been prohibiting the research of a series of taboo magics for thousands of years, and naturally confiscated a lot of research materials on taboo magics. Guess, are there any taboo magics that can revive the dead or change time?"

Hearing Orson's words, everyone present was thoughtful, only Elsa looked very bad.

She is also a member of the royal family. Even if Orson's words did not mean to mock her, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

It was at this time that the eyes of several people gathered on Elsa.

"Your Highness, as a member of the royal family, you happen to be a magician. I wonder if you have your own understanding of these?"

William asked at this time.

"Sorry..."

Elsa shook her head.

"Although I am also a member of the royal family, this matter involving forbidden magic will be handled by specialized people. My father and my brother never let me get involved in it, so I don't know about it, but After the emperor ascends the throne... he should have the power to access forbidden magic. I have no way of knowing what he gained from it. "

Elsa's eyes were lowered, but there was no falsehood in her words.

In the end, it was Orson who came forward to save Elsa.

"Forget it, now that the matter has come to this, what we have to do is resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"Now that the magic array has been activated, maintaining such a huge array will definitely require a large supply of magic power. We only need to destroy a few formation eyes that supply magic power, and the magic should stop."

Orson said this and came to a map hanging on the wall of the hall.

"I had someone find a map of Saint Laurent City before, and I discovered a pattern in it."

Orson said this, and pointed to the four corners of Saint Laurent City under the gaze of everyone.

"There is a high tower at the four corners of the city of Saint Laurent. This high tower is usually used to store food, but in time of war it can become a watchtower."

"At the diagonal connection of the four towers, I don't know whether it's a coincidence or some other reason, but it happens to be the largest central square in Saint Laurent City, where the late emperor was assassinated."

With that said, Orson found a pen and then connected several locations.

"It just so happens that I discovered a pattern on some of the taller landmark buildings in Saint Laurent City. Please take a look."

After Orson put the last stroke, everyone saw that those locations happened to form a six-pointed star, and the center of the six-pointed star was the central square of Saint Laurent City.

"It's pretty, but it's also very regular, isn't it?"

…

On the other side, Saint Laurent Cathedral.

Since the first day of eternal night, the priests and ladies of the church have begun to get up and pray. They feel that this is a divine punishment sent by the goddess of life after seeing the wars and disputes in the world, so they hope to alleviate the divine punishment through prayer.

After all, if it stays dark, the food harvest will fail, leading to things like famine.

On this day, Pope Levi led the priests in a routine prayer, and after it was over, Saint Lilia found him.

"What's wrong?"

Levi looked at Lilia's solemn expression and asked doubtfully.

"I heard that the abnormal movements in the sky this time were caused by the use of forbidden magic by the royal family..."

"Forbidden magic?" Levi raised his eyebrows when he heard these four words.

"I remember that the royal family has always resisted forbidden magic, right?"

"Yes, so once the forbidden magic is discovered, it will be disposed of by the royal family, but whether it is destroyed, preserved, or studied separately is unknown." Lilia said.

"..." Levi nodded after hearing this.

"In this case, I have to go to the palace and ask His Majesty personally."

With that said, he prepared to rush over with a few priests.

Lilia said with some worry:

"But... Your Holiness, if it is really His Majesty the Emperor who did it, what are you going to do?"

"If it was really him who did it, I would naturally follow the old method."

"Do you want to excommunicate the emperor?"

"That's all I can do."

Levi said this, put on his robe, and then prepared to walk out.

"Then...what if His Majesty the Emperor falls out with you..."

"In that case, you will lead the Holy See Guards to join Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"..."

Lilia nodded after hearing this.

"In that case, then... take care of yourself along the way."

"Yeah." Levi nodded, and then walked out of the cathedral.

royal palace.

Alsace received Levi in ​​his palace.

"Your Holiness, please take a seat."

Arthas said respectfully.

In the empire, although the imperial power is greater than the religious power, both sides have always maintained respect for each other. At this moment, even if Alsace has a grudge against Levi because of the previous incident, and Levi also has a grudge against Alsace because of the forbidden magic. Si was dissatisfied, and both of them behaved quite harmoniously.

Levi heard this, nodded, and then sat down.

Then, he smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, do you know what happened in Saint Laurent City recently?"

"You are talking about the fact that the sky is always dark, right?"

"Yeah." Levi nodded.

"At first, we thought that the goddess Hela was angry, so we have been leading devout believers to pray day and night, but later, there was information that it was... forbidden magic that caused this situation..."

Saying this, Levi stared into Alsace's eyes, and then asked:

"Your Majesty, are you aware of this matter? After all, over the years, forbidden magic has been confiscated and handed over to the royal family. I think the royal family has the most say in the matter of forbidden magic."

"..." Alsace's eyes flashed fiercely for a moment, and then returned to normal.

The implication of Levi's words is very simple, that is, he suspects that you, Alsace, are behind this.

Already suspicious to this extent, Alsace would naturally not be able to give Levi a good look.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Pope, the royal family really has no say in this matter, and we don't know either."

Chapter 65: One-on-one

Hearing Alsace's words, Levi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Haha, Your Majesty, you might as well ask your subordinates again. What if your subordinates have second thoughts and take the opportunity to use the forbidden magic that they have confiscated?"

"You are right. I will ask them today. If they really harbor evil intentions, I will definitely not forgive them."

"In that case, I'm relieved." Levi smiled and nodded, then stood up.
