Start a core cabin

When Duanmu Huai returned to the camp again, he saw Princess Norn, Princess Freya, and Princess Melty who came to greet him.

The latter was timid at this moment, and dared not approach Duanmu Huai, while the former was excited, as if she had watched a hearty blockbuster.

And behind them was the coalition army ready to go.

"Welcome to your victorious return, Judge."

Norn lifted her skirt and saluted Duanmu Huai.

"In this way, the Demon King was destroyed, and the army of the Demon Clan was also destroyed under your hammer. The war between humans and the Demon Clan has won a glorious victory for the first time. Logically speaking, we should hold a grand banquet to celebrate the destruction of the Demon King, and then pursue the victory and plant the flag of the coalition army on the Demon King's Castle to declare the complete defeat of the Demon Clan..."

"However?"

Duanmu Huai knew without guessing that something must have gone wrong, so he skipped directly.

"Just now, my spy sent an urgent report."

Princess Norn took out the letter paper at hand.

"At 13:00 today, the Kingdom of Protection officially declared war on our country and the Kingdom of Summoning. The army led by the new hero has already launched an attack on the two countries."

Princess Norn's attitude was very calm, not like her country was attacked at all. Instead, Freya and Melty beside her had very ugly expressions.

"What's the reason?"

"Well... According to the hero who led the team... destroying the demon king is the glorious mission given to the hero by the gods. Any attempt to destroy the demon king before the hero is disrespectful to the gods..."

"Ha? Are you kidding! We are heroes too!"

Hearing this, Freya finally couldn't help it.

"Since it is a theorem for the hero to destroy the demon king, then it is completely no problem for us to destroy the demon king!"

"Sister, you are so noisy."

However, Norn just said one sentence and Freya had to shut up.

"Maybe you don't know, sister. Then I will tell you kindly. Over the years, the heroes of the Kingdom of Protection have always defeated the Demon King. Although our country and the Kingdom of Summoning also have heroes, the heroes of our two countries were mainly responsible for protecting their own countries. It is not wrong to say that they are heroes, but they have never conquered the Demon King."

"Just because it was not their heroes who defeated the Demon King this time, the Kingdom of Protection wants to start a war?"

Melty looked incredible, and Norn just shook his head.

"I've said it before. After all, the people of the Kingdom of Protection live on protection. Who knows what they think? Maybe it's an order from the god they believe in."

"So what's the current situation?"

"To be honest, it's not optimistic. When I received the news, our country's defense line had been breached, and the Cannon Hero was killed by the Hero of the Kingdom of Protection. If this continues, I'm afraid the Sword Hero will not be the opponent of the other party..."

However, before Norn finished speaking, a bird suddenly sang in the sky, and then everyone saw a small bird like a falcon falling from the sky, flapping its wings and landing on Norn's shoulder. Then Norn reached out, took a letter from its claws and opened it, and then Norn's expression changed slightly.

"This is really..."

"What's wrong, Norn?"

Freya looked at Norn and asked hurriedly, and the latter quickly read the information and gave an answer.

"I just received news that the brave warriors of the Kingdom of Protection have broken through the final range line. They not only killed the brave warrior of the sword, but also killed my father on the grounds of being a heretic who had fallen into the devil's way... The reason was that my father secretly surrendered to the demon clan..."

"What a joke!"

Hearing this, Freya was also very angry.

"Bring my griffin immediately, I want to return home immediately! I want to see what the brave warrior of the Kingdom of Protection is capable of!"

"Don't worry, sister. The situation in our country is in chaos now. According to the intelligence, the brave warrior of the Kingdom of Protection has also provided evidence. Many people have witnessed their father turning into a monster and then being killed by the brave warrior. So the country is in chaos now. I don't know what to do."

"How could my father be a monster? This is impossible!"

"Sister, please calm down. Even if we say this, it's useless. Since many people have witnessed this scene, once they are willing to believe that this is the truth, then this is the truth. We can't convince the people to believe us without any evidence..."

"What should we do now?"

Melty was also very worried. After all, the Kingdom of Magical Tools couldn't stop it, so the next one would be the Kingdom of Summoning...

But Princess Norn didn't answer immediately, but looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Mr. Judge, what do you think?"

"Under normal circumstances, I would say that the Inquisition does not care about the internal struggles among humans. How you fight is your own business. But this time..."

Duanmu Huai touched his chin.

"I'm going to the Kingdom of Protection. I always feel that the god they believe in has some problems. In short, let's talk about the rest on the way."

Soon, with the God's Machine turning, the Allied Forces set out again, but this time they did not continue to move forward, but evacuated along the original route. The soldiers did not have no complaints about this, but when they learned about the situation from Princess Freya and Princess Norn, they quickly changed their minds.

No matter what madness the Kingdom of Protection is going on, they must not let them succeed!

On the way back, Duanmu Huai also told everyone about the brave warriors of the Kingdom of Protection. When they learned about the outrageous degree of the brave warrior's protection, the three princesses were stunned.

"So that's it. I didn't expect that the brave warriors of the Kingdom of Protection actually have such an outrageous protection. I finally understand why the brave warriors of the Kingdom of Protection have been the ones to destroy the demon king in all generations."

Princess Melty also sighed in astonishment. Indeed, she did not eat, drink, or sleep, and she would not feel tired. Her strength was also outrageous. This was not considered a human being at all. Other brave warriors, no matter how strong they were, still had to eat, drink, and sleep. How could they be compared?

"So what should we do next?"

After sighing, Melty looked at Norn and asked again. Although she and Princess Norn did not get along, Melty had to admit that in the face of the country's survival, her likes and dislikes had to be put aside.

Princess Norn thought for a moment and then spoke.

"There is no other way. In this case... I suggest that the joint forces directly attack the capital of the Kingdom of Protection. The original plan was to attack the Demon King's City, but now the situation is urgent, so we have to change the goal slightly."

"Hey? Hey hey hey!?"

Hearing this, Freya and Melty were stunned.

"Wait, wait, Norn, what are you talking about?"

"Yes, Your Highness Norn, entering the territory of another country without permission is equivalent to declaring war!"

"Oh?"

However, facing the questioning of the two, Norn tilted his head, looking puzzled.

"I thought we were already at war. The enemy invaded our territory and even killed my father. Isn't this a clear act of war? If so, it is only natural for us to fight back. And didn't the judge easily defeat the previous hero Luti before? If so, it should be easy to deal with the current hero."

"But...what about the people of the Kingdom of Protection?"

Melty was still worried.

"What if they stand in front of us..."

"Then kill them all."

This time, it was not Norn who answered Melty, but Duanmu Huai.

"I suspect that the gods they believe in are likely to be some kind of evil existence, and the so-called protection is a curse used to bind humans. Therefore, according to the standards of the Inquisition, I regard it as the purification of the evil god. Anyone who hinders me from completing my mission will be regarded as a heretic and eliminated by the Inquisition."

"This........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Melty was stunned, while Princess Norn chuckled.

"It seems that I don't need to say anything. My opinion is the same as the judge's."

"……………………"

Melty sighed helplessly and then closed her eyes.

"Father, mother, I hope you are safe and sound…………"

The only thing she can do now is to pray.

Unfortunately, Melty's prayers are useless.

The fire is soaring to the sky.

The entire palace of the Kingdom of Summoning has been shrouded in flames. Inside, a young man holding a long sword and wearing armor walked forward slowly. His eyes were firm and unwavering. In front of him was the queen of the Kingdom of Summoning.

"What do you want to do! Do you want to start a war?"

"I don't want to start a war."

The young man shook his head.

"I just followed the will of God and came to destroy the heretics who disrespect God. What you did went beyond the scope of God. Destroying the demon king is a task that only a brave man can accomplish, but you want to do such a rebellious thing without permission, which is a blasphemy against God!"

"Don't joke, kid!"

At this moment, the king and the first princess also rushed over with several servants holding swords and blocked the queen.

"We will stop him here, you go!"

"Hey?"

Seeing the reaction of the king and the first princess, the queen was stunned.

"But............"

"Go!"

While speaking, the king waved his long sword and rushed towards the boy in front of him. Seeing this scene, the queen could only nod, and then quickly turned and left.

"Dang!"

The two swords intersected, making a crisp sound. The king clenched his long sword tightly, but the boy who blocked his attack did not change his expression.

"Do you want to stop me too?"

"Of course, this is the master's order. Let's see what you can do!"

As the king spoke, his body suddenly deformed the next moment. The king's body began to stretch and twist, turning into a monster condensed by shadows. Not only him, but also the princess and those servants, at this moment, took off their disguise as shadows and revealed their original forms again.

"I see."

Holding the long sword, the brave looked at the shadows that surrounded him from all directions, his face unchanged, and just waved the long sword.

"It seems that you are all fallen heretics, so in the name of God, I will execute you all!"
