I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

I don't know, but I definitely don't want to fight with my life for this country.
All the members of the battalion belonged to the Huayang family, because this was an important factor for him when selecting the participants for this mission.

Many in other units also wear adventurer's watches.

Don't worry.They say you can survive any situation as long as you stay calm.

After cheering up his subordinates, Kuo Shirong stared at the man on horseback in front of him.

Supreme Commander Thompson.

He is a new commander who has just arrived, but he is a green forest hero with no war experience.

If we believe in him and follow him, we are doomed.

After experiencing the primeval forest and the Adventurer Canyon, Gui Shirong knows the importance of having an excellent leader.

An incompetent commander inevitably endangers his subordinates, and unfortunately, Thompson also fell into this category.

I have to separate my squad and act independently.

If he only leads 15 people, the activities he can do will be very limited, but he doesn't care.

It doesn't matter whether the army will be wiped out or not.He just needs to hone his skills and return to camp safely.

It would also be beneficial if a few members of the Dan National Army could be captured.

When Gui Shirong was making a plan, the team in front stopped moving.

All teams, switch to search formation!
Thompson pulled out a long sword and said loudly.

They have reached their destination and are about to begin their mission in earnest.

Is that the Cocas Mountains?

The mountains occupy about [-]% of the border between the Kingdom of Rhine and the Kingdom of Denmark.

Gwaziying was not afraid at all, because Rick and Daryl, who were the mercenary captains, came back alive from this place.

When they began to climb the mountains, Gewak-Syon secretly gave instructions to his men.

Eat all your ghost mushrooms.When the enemy appears, you have to hide.

His squad is in the rear.

If there is a fight, they risk deserting in the chaotic battle.

Lieutenant, there are so many people on our side, is it really necessary?

I have a bad feeling.Ge Shirong's intuition is quite accurate, and he himself is deeply impressed by this intuition.So whenever there is a life crisis, he will follow his intuition and act according to his intuition.

The air feels uncomfortable.

This is completely different from the feeling when he looks at the mountains from afar.

When he expressed his dissatisfaction, a horse in front of him began to cry.

No way! ?
The horse Thompson was riding had a sudden seizure and fell down while foaming at the mouth.

Thompson was knocked to the hard, cold ground.

Ah--are you alright, Commander?

The lieutenant, who was close to the commander, ran up to Thompson in a panic.

It was an unexpected surprise.

Just when the soldiers started chatting, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared from all directions, covering them.

Wat, what is this? !
Is it black magic?
This is too abnormal to be called a coincidence or a natural phenomenon.

I rely on, I rely on.Now, it was difficult to run away.

With the line of sight blocked, it is difficult to discern the surrounding environment.

Ge Shirong gritted his teeth and tried to improve his senses.

We have to get out of here, by all means.

His instincts were right again.

While the past may have been different, the Cocas Mountains are now a very dangerous place.

It would be difficult for him to train and hone his skills if not for survival.

Just as Gui Shiying was sweating profusely, there was a creepy female gurgling sound from outside the black mist.

Hehe, these fresh new products are rolling under my feet.What a joy!
Who, who are you!
Trying to shake Thompson's lieutenant to no avail, he scanned his surroundings desperately and shouted.

The woman laughed out loud, as if his reaction was amused.

Do you want to know?Then I'll give you a hint.I am one of the seven deadly sins.Pride, lust, greed, gluttony, envy, laziness or anger.Can you guess which one I am?

One of the seven witches who assist Lilith.

When the enemy revealed her identity, the lieutenant trembled with fear.

Ah, it's a witch.
If it was too hard, I should give you one more hint? Jealousy was killed some time ago.Well, not completely wiped out, but from a human point of view, it's gone.

Jealous
Now is the time to answer the questions.Go pick something before my patience runs out and I wreak havoc.

The woman's voice gradually became colder.The lieutenant swallowed, and spoke cautiously.

A huge purple monster jumped out of the black mist and grabbed the lieutenant.

When he was crushed alive by the monster, the faces of the soldiers were as pale as paper.

Oh my goodness!

impossible!
A mixture of shock and horror.

However, no one dared to attack the enemy, because they knew that if they caught the attention of the witch, death would be like harvesting the soul of the lieutenant.

Hehehe..Shall I give everyone a chance too?Ha ha, but now that I think about it, it's too troublesome.I'd better kill them all.

Immediately, monsters jumped out from all directions and began to capture and slaughter soldiers.

These people wanted to resist, but strangely, they didn't have any strength.

Isn't the whole world annoying?Just quietly accept the sin of sloth.Then the pain and suffering will soon be over.

The woman is called Priscilla, the lazy witch.

The soldiers were rendered powerless because of the display of her power.

The strength gap is too great, and the army has no power to fight back in front of her.

damn it.
Ge Shirong stared in the black mist, struggling with all his might.

If I don't do something else, I'm dead.

He racked his brains for a while, and suddenly came up with a good idea.

Um?Who do you think you are to negotiate with me?

I am a follower of the Demon Lord Volak! So if you kill me like this, won't you cause trouble for you?
Although he did form an alliance with Long Xiangtian for a short time, few people know this fact.

Most of those involved in the rebellion were either killed or captured.

When Kuo Shiying continued to shout loudly, a portal appeared in the air, and a woman with lavender hair appeared.

Hehe, Demon Lord Volak?It's really interesting.I didn't expect to meet someone related to him here.

Coincidentally, she has a lot to ask about him.

Priscilla looked at Kuo Seyoung who was breathing heavily after the captured monster was released with a smile.In the middle of the night, the moon hangs high in the sky.

Ge Shirong was running with the unconscious Thompson on his back.

Didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Not only did he survive, but he also got the chance to become a genius.

Ge Shirong recalled the discussion with Priscilla in the Cocas Mountains, the corners of his mouth raised.

Everyone is frantically trying to get rid of him?

Dantalion, the real ruler of Dane Kingdom, is extremely vigilant against Long Xiangtian, because he once defeated Warak, the demon king, and killed Kerimshild, the envious witch.

If they fought, Dantalion would most likely lose.

Therefore, Dantalion devised a plan against Long Xiangtian.

He convinces the lazy witch Priscilla to advance through the Cocas Mountains, and asks the help of the demon king Amiyi, who also belongs to the demon world.

They will gain the Kingdom of the Rhine.

While he wasn't told the details, their plan was largely predictable.

They will attract Long Xiangtian's attention by causing riots in the Cocas Mountains.Since Marquis Nelson's army is busy defending Doria Castle, Long Xiangtian has no choice but to send the kingdom's army to the mountains.

However, an army alone is not enough to stop the Lazy Witch.

Once he surrenders several times, he will fail, and it is very likely that Long Xiangtian will personally come forward to deal with the problem in the end.

If that were the case, the two demon kings who stood watching the situation would attack him together, kill him, conquer these lands, and occupy the capital Heidelberg.

After this war is over, I will get a small fief.

His role is to keep watch over Castle Doria and, when appropriate, cause chaos.

Considering the strategic importance of Doria Castle, this was an important duty.

If he succeeds, his achievements will be recognized.

When they arrived in Doria City, Gui Shirong got off his horse and said to Thompson.

What do you have to report to Lord Nelson?
The monster army attacked. We were wiped out
Thompson's mind has been corrupted by Priscilla.

Seeing Gui Shirong drooling like a fool, he clicked.

Now he's a puppet, completely brain-dead.

But it didn't matter, because Thompson was useless for this operation.

His role was simply to report to the Marquess of Nelson in an appropriate manner.Afterwards, his existence would be meaningless to the plan.

After pulling Thomson off his horse, Gui Shirong led him directly through the castle.

When he passed the strict identity verification procedure, he came to the Marquis' room.

You can't go in now.

A guard standing in front of the door blocked Gervasiying.

I am Sir Thompson, Commander of the Cocass Scouting Corps.We are here in a hurry, please move out of the way.

The Marquis is now talking to His Majesty the King, please wait a moment.

Long Xiangtian?
Gui Shiying couldn't pretend anymore, her expression turned dark subtly.

Why did the prince come from afar?

I'm not sure about this.He just came with a guard knight.
Long Xiangtian came at the wrong time.

When Gui Shiying began to sweat profusely and retreated step by step.

Click!

Lefina opened the door, revealing her presence.The conversation between Marquis Nelson and Long Xiangtian has ended.

he?Who are these people?
Oh, they were sent to investigate the Cocas Mountains some time ago
The guard briefly explained the situation.

Lefina nodded, and whispered to Long Xiangtian who was standing patiently behind her.

The commander of the scout army is back.

It came just fine.

Long Xiangtian took a step forward, his eyes alternated between Gui Shiying and Thompson.

Immediately, his eyes sharpened.He could feel demonic energy, albeit faintly, from both of them.

What happened during the investigation?
monsters attacked. army
Since Thompson had been brainwashed, he lied about the Yamauchi incident.Although this story sounds reasonable, it cannot dispel Long Xiangtian's suspicion.

Sounds suspicious in many places.We need an interrogation.

"... "

Ge Shirong's expression immediately darkened.He didn't expect such a thing to happen before the plan was fully finalized.

If Yoo Hyuk finds out that Thompson has been brainwashed, it will cause trouble.

When his thoughts reached this conculsion, Gui Shirong quickly spoke.

Your Majesty, the attack was too sudden for us to gather enough information.If you give me another chance, I'll go back to the Cocas Mountains, and
Rafina, arrest them.

Long Xiangtian gave the order as if nothing had happened.

yes, my lord.Lefina, who was standing beside him, walked up behind the two survivors and grabbed them by the necks.Her movements were so fast that Gui Shiying had no time to react.

I'm completely stuck.

Gewak Xiying swallowed.

Running away under these circumstances is tantamount to admitting that one is a traitor.

Moreover, he currently does not have the skills and abilities to escape safely.

Seeing Long Xiangtian talking with Marquis Nelson who came out of the office in surprise, Gui Shiying was in despair.

After an hour of interrogation, Long Xiangtian was able to get them to spit out the truth.

He hypnotized Gui Shiying with Jack's pocket watch and asked him to answer truthfully.On the other hand, Thompson has been deeply eroded by demonic energy, and he is of no help to Long Xiangtian during the interrogation process.

After Long Xiangtian found out the situation, he ordered the two of them to be locked behind the iron fence and put on shackles.

They were trying to use Cocas Hill as an outpost.

As he expected, they were not trying to start an all-out war.If they declare war openly, the Saint Apelian Empire will send paladins to arbitrate the conflict, which is not advisable for demon kings and witches.

The strength of the seven paladins is strong enough, as long as the level is not high, they can compete with the strength of the demon kings.They can also easily spot demons that hide themselves.

Therefore, the demon kings of Yars Nova mobilized the monsters instead of the army of Dane and Lydia Kingdom.While they wanted to eliminate Long Xiangtian, they tried their best to avoid international conflicts between countries.

Under such circumstances, the Cocas Mountains, where monsters haunted all the year round, was the best battlefield they asked for.

They will not stop their current plan just because we have seen through their plot.

Priscilla probably observed the situation here through the marks on Thompson and Gervasiying.

However, it is impossible for her and the demon kings of Yars Nova to drastically change their original plan, because they know that the Cocas Mountains are a strategic location that Long Xiangtian dare not give up.

If I don't show up, Nelson's March will be a mass cemetery.

The reason why Priscilla joins hands with the demon kings is because she needs to sacrifice to Lilith and needs a forest as a shelter to rule.

If she were to attack, the defenders of Nelson's march north and central would be slaughtered without a chance of retaliation.

There must be a way, otherwise it will be too late.

Your Majesty, what are you going to do?
When Long Xiangtian stood there quietly thinking, Marquis Nelson asked anxiously.

He had also heard the content of the interrogation and understood the seriousness of the current situation.

However, there was nothing he could do but wait for the king's order.

Since they were going to attack us first, they had no choice.

He was ready from the start.It is impossible for him to be confined to the Ioniel Peninsula from the very beginning.

Even if it is a little unreasonable, he will defeat the two demon kings, conquer the surrounding countries, and lay the foundation for peace in the continent of Ace.

In my opinion, it is better to send a message to Emperor Tiberius for help.If the paladins of the Holy Apelian Empire help us, this problem can be easily solved
No, that would be troublesome.

Long Xiangtian also has Asura's demon energy, so in the eyes of the paladins, he is no different from the 72 Demon King.It would be even worse if they did turn to the Empire of Saint-Apelian for help.

The demon kings in the Aspen nova circle also knew this fact, so they dared to plan such a plan.

If you are in a hurry, your majesty, are you going to deal with them yourself?
No, I need some help.

They can temporarily hinder Priscilla with the help of the Ghost Association of Izana Kingdom.

Long Xiangtian returned to Marquis Nelson's room and quickly wrote a letter.

Time to get the last promised military support.

There is no need to ask the Kingdom of Izana to send troops, they can contain the army of the Kingdom of Dann at the border.

The support of the spiritual power association and the priests in the group is more than sufficient.

My lord, shall we issue conscription orders to all feudal lords?
No, wait a moment.I will make a separate list of princes.

If they were to wage a full-scale war, they would most likely be attacked from behind by organizations such as the Golden Rose Society, witchcraft, or demons.

When Long Xiangtian handed over the scroll with the list written on it, Refina made a puzzled expression.

Is this really enough?I personally don't think there are enough people on the list and this conflict has not yet reached the stage of an all-out war.

Priscilla and the demon kings of the Nova Circle of Yars would not go down the Cocas Mountains if they were leading a large number of troops.

However, if they climb the mountain blindly, they will end up like the commander of the Fifth Legion, Guess, because there are countless ambush areas and dangerous places in the Cocas Mountains.It is also possible that they will be ambushed from the rear.

Therefore, rather than attacking, it is better to focus on defense. It is a wiser choice to wait for the priest troops led by the Spirit Society to join them.

Serian in the northern region is likely to be targeted first, rather than Trevis in the central region.I will send Maximus, the best general, to that area.

While observing the map of Nelson's march on the table, Long Xiangtian calmly planned his actions.

At the same time, Marquis Nelson and Lefina were listening to him carefully when...
Lord Nelson! Urgent business!
A soldier ran into the room.

what's up?

Lieutenant Guo Shirong opened the iron railing with his bare hands and escaped from the cell!
what?
Marquis Nelson stared at the soldier in surprise, he couldn't believe such absurd thing.

Unless he has an ogre's level of strength, it's impossible to bend those solid iron bars.

However, Long Xiangtian nodded, as if he had expected this news a long time ago.

As I expected, he ran away.
