Udora sighed. But before she continued to speak, Kasley said, "Those things — I mean … those weird and disgusting things, they have nothing to do with the gods we have always believed in, right?"
The scepter priest opened her mouth for a long time and said in a hoarse voice, "This problem is very complicated —"
"Complicated? Damn it! Don't you even know how to lie! "
Kasley suddenly broke the armrest with a slap, stood up and roared, "Are you going to tell me that — Thuck Clan has been dedicating everything to such disgusting monsters for so many years? We have suffered so much in the desert, so many people have died, and so many sacrifices have been made. Are we slaves to such guys? "
Her roar made Udora's ears hurt. But as a scepter priest, she could only refute, "It's not what you think …"
"It's not what I'm thinking?"
Kasley grabbed Udora's collar and lifted her up from the seat. The strong female general's muscles bulged. At this time, she was like an angry leopard, "Do you know what you are doing? As a priest and those high priests behind you … Don't you know that you are blaspheming?! "
For believers, the word "blasphemy" was a very serious crime. To put it bluntly, even if believers killed blasphemers in the street, no one would blame them. In this era, the gods of religious countries were sacred and inviolable. Any believer had the obligation to stop the "blasphemy".
Udora was held like this, but she did not dare to push Kasley with her hands. She lowered her voice, "You don't listen to my explanation. Are you going to hit a scepter priest directly?"
Kasley stared at her with a ferocious expression and finally let go of her hand, "Explain. I hope you can tell some truth."
Udora raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean? Did someone say something to you? "
Kasley did not say anything. She just sat on the chair next to her and drank water.
Udora organized her words and said, "His Majesty did find some unusual things in these years, some … powers that can be seized for his own use. You should know that if we don't have enough trump cards, we can't just rely on our divine spells and armies to take back the Thukk Clan's land. "
"So, you accepted the bewitchment of those things and became their sacrifices. Now, you're using this power to control people's hearts and counterattack Lassman, right?"
Kasley's voice was a little tired. In the end, she muttered, "Sure enough, they were right …"
"Who said that? What did you hear? "
Udora immediately looks around vigilantly, but Casley shakes her head and says, "These people from the Kingdom of Karen said it. They came to me with the remains of the priests a few days ago. I didn't say anything, but they said 'these things again' when they left …"
Udora's expression changed dramatically, and she immediately asked, "What do you mean? Have these people from the Kingdom of Karen met him before? "
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized what she had exposed. Kasley's expression became colder and colder. Her words seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps between her teeth. "Demons from another plane — demons! Are you making a deal with these things? Or, do you think you can control such creatures? "
Being pressed to this point, Udora has nothing to say. She originally wanted to negotiate with these people from the Kingdom of Karen by various means, but she never thought that all her illusions were destroyed by her former subordinates in this prison cell.
In fact, all the priests in Eiseka realized that something was wrong when they came into contact with such a "spell". However, as time went by and His Majesty persuaded them, Udora and others gradually reached a consensus: no matter what the other party was, as long as this power could be controlled by them, it didn't matter where it came from.
After all, according to His Majesty's words and various signs, if they didn't learn these things in time, the entire Eiseka would be shrouded in the coming disaster …
In other words, they had no choice.
"Kasley, we actually have no choice …"
"Your choice is to let the priests become monsters, let the soldiers of other countries become monsters, let these cannon fodder tear up Lassman's country, and then make room for those demons?"
Kasley seemed to have aged a lot. She slumped on the chair, "It's too stupid … too stupid!"
"But what else can we do except this?"
Udora gritted her teeth and retorted, "You are just a general with a brain full of muscles! Do you know what Eiseka is facing? If it is not a disaster, why do we bother to use this kind of magic? Do you think those priests will risk their lives to fight just to work for those guys? Whether the sword is used to kill the enemy or ourselves, it all depends on how we control it! "
"Oh, you have ten thousand reasons to do these things, but … what about now?"
Kasley's face was full of sarcasm, "Haven't you realized one thing? These people from the Kingdom of Karen are not just here to deal with you. How long do you think Eiseka can resist with their weapons and fighting methods? "
This sentence was equivalent to ending all the previous arguments — because the hard facts were in front of her, and Udora, the scepter priest, could not refute.
The room fell into silence, and Kasley no longer questioned anything. She just sat there in a daze. Obviously, she was used to this kind of life.
Udora's face was uncertain. Now her heart had been inexplicably shaken — or it could be said that before this, she did not firmly believe in His Majesty, but Kasley's performance deepened her doubts.
After a long time, footsteps came from outside the door, and the simple wooden door was opened. A person who looked like a servant came in and gave them wet towels to wipe their faces.
"What … what do you mean? You need to wipe your face before the meeting? "
Udora immediately thought of a bad ending. She found that General Kasley, whose shoulders were half as wide as hers, was also asked to wipe her face clean. At the same time, there was a special maid to comb her messy hair.
"You need to pay attention to your image when you are going to be in the newspaper."
This sentence made both of them confused, but soon they were taken to the reception room on the top of the tower — Udora thought she would face a trial, but the expected serious scene of being pointed at by a sword did not appear. She and Kasley were arranged to sit on one side of the long table. Within two minutes, Sodelor, dressed in casual clothes, came down alone.
He did not have a solemn sense of ceremony at all. He walked to the long table and sat down, and then the servant poured water in front of the three of them.
"I'm Sodelor, the commander of the Kingdom of Karen Expeditionary Force. Because time is tight, I'll make it short. "
He picked up the cup and took a sip, "General Kasley has been here for a while. I didn't interrogate you. And Priest Udora, I also know about your identity and status. The war is over, and your army has surrendered. As for the treatment of prisoners of war and ransom, I have nothing to discuss with you."
These words made the two of them purse their lips. They felt that they seemed to be of no other use.
"Let you sit here, I only have one question for you to answer."
He leaned forward and looked at the two of them with sharp eyes, "I need you to tell me the battle plan of Eiseka's army, as well as the current deployment location of your troops and granaries."
Neither of them spoke. Such a question was expected. They could imagine … if they were stubborn now, there might be torture to make them confess later.
But Sodelor's next words stunned Udora, "I know you are hesitating, but now you have to think about one thing. We are not here to kill you …"
"We are here to save you."
Kasley swallowed. She did not speak because she was extremely disappointed after the collapse of her faith. She was no longer as firm as she used to be.
Udora's body was tense. After a moment of silence, she finally asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because you are in big trouble. Do you really think that your little power can arm wrestle with the lord of the Demonic Plane?"
Sodelor was not condescending or aggressive. Instead, he stared at her and said quickly, "Does your Majesty think that she has an adventure and that no one else in the world knows the existence of demons? Does she think that controlling the power of demons can help her get everything? "
"I can only say that you have really become frogs at the bottom of a well after staying in a corner of the desert for too long."
These words made Udora's breath quicken, but she could not refute.
"The army of the Kingdom of Karen is not used to deal with small characters like you. Can you understand what I am saying? Whether it is the artillery, the technology of building bridges, or the trucks for transporting supplies, from the beginning, they are not used to deal with Eiseka … or the surrounding small countries whose names I can't even remember. You don't deserve it at all. "
Sodelor's tone was calm.
"If we want, a whole army can parachute into your capital tonight and burn down your homes. But the reason why we did not do so is that the Kingdom of Karen is fulfilling the agreement signed with Lessiman. According to the agreement, we need to drive you out of the territory that we have occupied. "
"But now I call you here to talk, not to fight, but to let you know a fact: Ending the dispute between you and Lessiman is just something we want to do. The real goal is the damn demons behind you. I hope you can understand the stakes and then give me a conclusion. "
He leaned back in his chair. "Perhaps you don't know this, but the Cullen Kingdom is the only kingdom in the entire continent that has established a friendly relationship with all the Dragon Race. We have been working tirelessly to deal with the invaders from the foreign planes … But you guys are great. Not only are you not busy, you even became the Evil Demons' outpost …"
Sodelor shook his head and no longer spoke.
And Udora's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
