Start a Core Pod

Chapter 880 I have the final say

 For the people of the Kingdom of Paretia, that was a day that they will remember deeply.

Amidst the flying petals and the sound of bells, the heavily armed Paretian army and adventurers walked out of the gate of the royal city under the cheers of the people and began to march towards the northern fortress.

Looking at the retreating army, everyone could not help but pray, praying that they could regain the Northland and turn the Kingdom of Paretia into a peaceful world again...

Well, fortunately, the people cheering excitedly on both sides of the street didn't know that there was already a commotion in the military camp.

"What did you say?!"

The nobles roared in anger one after another, but Duanmuhuai just stood there, looking at them indifferently, and then waved his hand.

"Can't you understand people? Let me say it again, we will make our own decisions on how we want to act. No one has the power to order us to act!"

Yes, this is why the atmosphere is tense at the moment. At the first military meeting held by the coalition forces, Duanmu Huai said directly in front of everyone, "We do not obey anyone's orders. We will act independently according to the battlefield situation." .

 And it was this sentence that caused all the nobles present to explode.

After all, Duanmu Huai and Agnesfia are the only ones who can resist demons and monsters in the air. Everyone hopes to get their protection. Originally, the nobles wanted to take advantage of this military meeting to **** this weapon. As for the command of the team, Duanmu Huai turned out to be completely indifferent and rejected them all without saying a word!

“You mean, you don’t even obey His Highness Algard’s orders?”

"certainly."

　　Looking at the silent blond young man sitting in the middle, Duanmu Huai snorted softly.

"I have already said that I am cooperating on behalf of the Tribunal, but cooperation is cooperation. The Tribunal is not your subordinates. We have the power to make our own decisions. I remember King Orphan should have told you This point, therefore, how the Tribunal will act is the Tribunal’s own business and has nothing to do with you.”

 “What about Her Royal Highness Anisphia?! She is the princess of our Kingdom of Paretia!”

Hehehe, I didn’t take Agnesphia seriously before, but now I think of treating her like a princess?

"So what? Agnesphia is under my jurisdiction and accepts my orders to act. This is a military operation. No one is allowed to disobey orders. It's that simple."

 “You, what qualifications do you have to make such a decision?”

Just because I am a noble air force, you fourth-class horses are nothing!

Duanmu Huai complained in his heart, looked at the red-haired aristocratic young man in front of him with an expressionless expression, and sneered disdainfully.

 And this sneer seemed to anger the red-haired nobleman.

"Answer me, you barbarian. I don't know about any messy organization like the Tribunal, but we are representatives sent by the Ministry of Magic. You are so rude...!"

However, before the red-haired nobleman finished speaking, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.

"I don't care about the Kingdom of Paretia or the Province of Magic. Just listen to me."

Duanmuhuai exerted force with his right hand, and the red-haired young man screamed, and at the same time he looked around coldly.

"The Tribunal has only one goal, which is to protect mankind at all costs and to eliminate all existences that try to destroy mankind. The reason why I chose to join forces with you is because I just think it will be relatively faster to achieve the goal. But if you are stupid enough If you dare to challenge the authority of the Inquisition, I don't mind killing you all, and then I can deal with those lowly heretical **** alone."

 After saying this, Duanmu Huai opened his mouth, and like a beast breathing, white mist spurted out from the corners of his mouth. And he just stared at the nobles in front of him without any expression.

 “So, my patience is limited, understand?”

An unparalleled terrifying coercion erupted from Duanmu Huai's body. At this moment, the expressions of all the nobles present suddenly changed. Their pride, their dignity, their status - everything they owned was almost destroying everything here. It was as fragile as glass and shattered completely in front of the pressure. For a moment, everyone was sweating profusely and speechless.

 “Hurry, let me go quickly!”

At this moment, the red-haired young man who was caught in Duanmuhuai's hand struggled desperately, trying to break free from Duanmuhuai. As the victim closest to Duanmuhuai, he instinctively felt the extreme fear at this moment. He tried his best to The body was twisting and turning, like a mouse caught by a cat.

"You, you can't kill me. My father is the head of the Ministry of Magic! If you kill me, you will be an enemy of the Chartos family! My father is a count...! The Ministry of Magic is ours. ...Do you understand! Let me go quickly, let me go!"

The red-haired young man roared loudly and furiously, while Duanmuhuai just looked at him.

"so what?"

"you you……"

Feeling the strong murderous intent in Duanmuhuai's words, the latter looked at Duanmuhuai in horror, and his originally upright expression had become extremely distorted at this moment.

"You are a demon, you must be a demon! Destroy him quickly! You can tell from his appearance that he is not a human at all, but a demon——! He must be here to destroy us! Hurry! , hurry up, otherwise..."

As he spoke, the red-haired young man raised his hands tremblingly. Following his movements, several missiles condensed with magical power appeared out of the air and hit Duanmu Huai directly.

 “Bang bang bang!”

　　The missile shot out directly hit Duanmuhuai's face, but it was like air caressing Duanmuhuai's face, not even causing Duanmuhuai to lose a single hair.

 Oh, he had no hair left to lose.

 “Monster! Damn monster! Monster————!”

Seeing this scene, the red-haired young man screamed. However, the next moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly twisted his right hand and forcefully tore the red-haired young man's head off his neck! The shouts of the red-haired young man were also interrupted, and then Duanmuhuai threw it with his right hand, and saw the red-haired young man's head being thrown on the table.

At this moment, the red-haired young man still had his eyes wide open, his face was ferocious, his mouth was wide open, and his tongue was hanging out - but he could no longer make any sound.

 “Hey————!”

Seeing this scene, the others turned pale and stepped back one after another, looking at Duanmu Huai in horror. They didn't expect that Duanmu Huai was so fierce, killing him directly in front of so many people in full view of the public. The son of the head of the Ministry of Magic is missing!

Is he crazy?

“Now, who else is against it? You can stand up.”

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he glanced around. Wherever he could see, those noble heirs who had been screaming for joy were now so frightened that they hurriedly dodge back. They were joking, the other party really dared to kill people. ah!

"snort."

After looking around to make sure that no second idiot dared to stand up, Duanmu Huai threw away the headless body, then turned around and walked out of the tent. Others stared blankly at the headless corpse, not daring to breathe a sigh of relief.

Duanmuhuai didn't care what those idiots were going to do next. He just returned to the camp and found Agnesphia.

"The matter has been resolved. Unless there is my order, no one will dare to direct our actions in the future, so you just need to listen to me." "Is it that simple?"

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s announcement, not only Anisphia was shocked, but even Tierti looked at him in surprise.

"How could those guys pass up this opportunity? What on earth did you say to them?"

 “Oh, actually I didn’t say anything.”

Duanmuhuai reached out, took the towel handed by Ogis, and wiped the blood on his fingernails.

"I told them that no one had the right to order us, who was in favor and who was against, and then I killed the one who danced the most happily in front of them."

"………Why?"

Perhaps Duanmuhuai's answer was so unexpected that Anisphia and the others were stunned. As royals and nobles, what they were thinking about was whether Duanmuhuai had used some superb political means to persuade them. After killing those nobles, the result... was it so simple and crude?

 “You killed the…opponents?”

"That's right, there was a red-haired idiot who was making a fool of himself, saying that his father was the chief official of the Ministry of Magic and I couldn't kill him - just kidding, let alone him, it was his father who dared to stand in the way. I will kill you without fail in front of me. Anyone who dares to hinder the Inquisition to eliminate heretics will die!"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the girls had different expressions. Anisphia let out a sigh of relief with a complicated expression. Perhaps she was glad that Duanmuhuai didn't kill her younger brother. Tierti narrowed her eyes curiously and stared at Duanmuhuai, while Euphilia looked solemn.

"The situation is not good now. Count Chartos only has one son. Once he finds out about this, the consequences will be disastrous..."

"so what?"

Duanmuhuai stared at Euphilia.

"Listen, these are not important. On the battlefield, your identity, status, and power are meaningless. Do you know? Maybe when you are alive, you are some kind of Duke's daughter, but if you die, you will It’s just a simple corpse, everything you have is worthless and meaningless.”

At this point, Duanmu Huai's voice suddenly dropped.

"The mission of the Tribunal is to eliminate all existences that try to destroy mankind. We will never allow the demons to destroy mankind, so any factor that dares to try to hinder the actions of the Tribunal must be eliminated. In order to maintain relations with them, it is foolish to obey Their orders will only hinder the actions of the Inquisition. In comparison, it is obviously a more reasonable decision to kill a brain-dead noble who does not know what is called."

 “Uh…is that so…”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Euphilia's expression seemed quite complicated. Although she could understand Duanmu Huai's meaning, it was difficult for Euphilia to say how Duanmu Huai solved the matter.

“I don’t expect an innocent lady like you to understand such things.”

Duanmuhuai didn’t seem to care about Euphilia’s opinion, and just waved his hand.

"In short, that's it. Other troops will not bother us anymore. When to dispatch and where to go, you just need to follow my orders."

After saying this, Duanmuhuai turned around and left with Ogis. It was not until his figure disappeared that the three girls in the tent let out a sigh of relief.

“Huh… I didn’t expect that he was actually the son of Count Chartos, but it’s no wonder…”

Agnesfia didn't know the person personally, so she didn't feel much about it, and she was even a little excited inside. You must know that the Ministry of Magic and Agnesfia have always been at odds with each other, and the two sides are incompatible. The Ministry of Magic couldn't stand Agisfia's magic and her uniqueness, and Agnesfia didn't take kindly to the Ministry of Magic who constantly accused her and even planned to pick her own fruit.

 At this moment, the magic was relieved, and she felt very happy inside.

　　But on the other hand, Euphilia's expression was very complicated. She lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, and then raised her head to look at Agnesphia as if she had made some decision.

 “Your Highness Anisphia!”

 “Wow, what’s the matter? Miss Euphilia?”

 Hearing Euphilia's call, Agnesphia was also startled and quickly came to her senses.

However, what Euphilia said next surprised her even more.

 “When you go to fight, please take me with you!”

 “Hey, hey, hey!?”

I have to say that Agnesphia was greatly surprised when she heard Euphilia's request.

“Wait, that’s a battlefield? Why would you want to go to that place?”

"I am very reluctant to what Mr. Duanmu said...very reluctant, but he is right. I have never participated in a real battle, and I don't know what a life-and-death war is like. So... I want to go to the battlefield in person and experience it!”

"Feelings...but that's war, Euphilia. Fighting is not as simple as you think..."

  “Just say it.”

At this moment Tierdi also spoke with a bit of ridicule.

“A mere wealthy lady who has never been on the battlefield is going to cause trouble by going to the battlefield. It’s better for you to stay at the rear of the battlefield.”

"But...Didn't Her Highness Anisfia also participate in battles? I heard that Her Highness Anisfia has been acting as an adventurer, and even received the title of high-level adventurer of the association..."

 “That’s what I said...”

Facing Euphilia's question, Agnesphia didn't know what to say for a while. If you want to say that nobles can't do this, you are setting a bad example. But taking Euphilia to the battlefield - after all, she is also her brother's future wife and future princess. What if something goes wrong accidentally?

 Finally, Anisphia came up with a way.

“It doesn’t matter what I say. As you heard before, Mr. Inquisitor has the highest command authority, so... you can ask Mr. Inquisitor.”

As she spoke, Anisphia also wiped her sweat inwardly.

 Finally found the person who took the blame.
