"This is the pride of the current demon king. It means that he can defeat us without any small moves."

This is not only a matter of Leohart's face, showing his bearing like this is also a necessary demeanor for a king.However, he does not seem to be generous enough to grant freedom to go out.Two maids were arranged to stand by outside the guest house.Although they said that if there is any gap or assistance, they are always available; but to put it bluntly, they are here to monitor.

and……

From the previous conversation between Leohart and Belphegor, it can be seen that the influence of the Cardinal Council is indeed quite huge.If he ignored this situation and won the decisive battle by playing tricks before the battle, it would be impossible for Leohart's popularity in the current Demon Lord faction to increase.

At present, Belphegor is still unclear about this decisive battle.Leohart's calculation was to end the dispute between the two factions by reducing the room for the "intervention" of the Cardinal Council as much as possible, and to draw the hearts of the people who tended to fall to the Cardinal Council to him.Well, maybe—

"For him... to fight this decisive battle with us is likely to be a move for him to rectify the Cardinal Council."

When Mu Hantian was thinking about the problem, he noticed that Mio was staring at him without saying a word, so he asked, "What's the matter, Mio?"

"Is it true what that person said before? Brother."

Mio raised her anxious eyes and asked the question. "When Takikawa killed Zokil...were you there?"

Mu Hantian shrugged his shoulders under the stares of everyone, and pursed his lips.

Such silence is almost indifferent if it is directly regarded as an acknowledgment.soon--

"Yes, that's true."

Mu Hantian clearly admitted that he had concealed the fact that Mio and the others had been concealed until now.The three people who have the deepest relationship with Zolgear—Mio, Maria, and Zest—can't help but gasp at this, and their whole bodies tense up.

"Han Tian, ​​why did you do that?"

After Yuxi asked the three people who couldn't speak...

Mu Hantian replied with a heavy tone: "No matter what, I don't want Mio to get my hands dirty because of revenge, and live under the shadow of that kind of person for the rest of my life; however, as far as my own feelings are concerned... I still spare Not that guy."

"Brother." Mio understands that Mu Hantian values ​​every friend and family member around him, and also knows that his heart is very firm; doing such a thing must be completely for their sake, and there will be no half-heartedness.

"It's been so long... I'm really sorry for you."

When seeing Mu Hantian seriously bowed his head to apologize, Mio couldn't hold back anymore.

She gently hugged Mu Hantian's head into her bosom, and said, "Don't apologize...I'm sorry for making you bear so many responsibilities alone."

What Naruse Mio wanted to know—that was enough.Believe others are too.

………………

"You mean...you want me to change the rules of the decisive battle?"

Leohart's doubts sounded in the high-level cabinet meeting room at the bottom of Lundval City.

Leohart came to this conference room after meeting Naruse Mio, Mu Hantian and others in the lobby, and explained the details of the decisive battle with the Moderate faction.

On the other side of the question, Belphegor, who stood at the apex of the Cardinal Council, said with a smile: "Don't say that, what I want is not such an excessive thing."

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty Belphegor just asked if you could accommodate me and increase a few places for the competition."

The one who spoke next was another member of the Cardinal Council sitting next to Belfiger.It was Mardonis, the high-ranking demon who held the seat of the seven deadly sins of 'greed'.

Belphegor, who had an absolute leadership position in the Cardinal Council, was often absent from meetings just like the "lazy" seat he held; at those times, Mardonis was in charge of leading the Cardinal Council.To put it bluntly, he is actually the number two figure in the Council of Cardinals.

"The decisive battle planned by His Majesty is to send five representatives from each side to fight... But now, Earl Galdo was injured when he attacked Verda City a few days ago, and the candidate chosen by His Majesty from his cronies is strong enough to represent our side and Your Majesty is going to battle, but the question of the number of people is an indisputable fact. Therefore, we would like to provide a few subordinates to help out, please consider it, Your Majesty."

Madonis said so.Indeed, among the people Leohart currently trusts, only Balfrea, Luca, and Lars are able to fight; since Luca himself is a scholar without combat power, he will be replaced by a heroic spirit or a monster who has made a contract with him. play.

Even so, there were only four people including Leohart, and one person was still missing.but--

"There is no need to worry about it, Mardonis. Luca will soon be able to arrange the high-level heroic spirits that were not ready in the previous attack, as long as the heroic spirits are used to replace Galdo's vacancies."

"So, you want to use two Heroic Spirits to make up for that boy named Luca and Earl Galdo...? In the previous attack, the Heroic Spirits were defeated in the end; they all rely on something like this to make up for it. The risk is probably too great, right? There may be voices of concern among the people, causing panic."

Belphegor, who said so, always had a smile on his face.

"Belphegor, the risk you mentioned...wasn't it caused by your subordinates attacking Galdo while attacking Verda City?"

In this regard, Leohart offered to monitor Nebula's betrayal and questioned Belphegor.

"I'm really ashamed to say it...Nebula is indeed my subordinate, and it's because of my lack of discipline that such a pity happened...Although he has paid for the curse of the master-slave contract with his life, but I You still have to take part of the responsibility for Earl Galdo’s serious injury. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to accept the assistance of the Cardinal Council and give us a chance to avenge our shame.”

The treacherous and cunning Belphegor turned his responsibility into a weapon and refused to budge.

"If you think the heroic spirit is unreliable, you can call the Eight Demon Generals back."

The Eight Demon Generals in Leohart's mouth.It is the collective name of the eight legion commanders.They lead their respective armies and guard the east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest of the vast territory of the current Demon King faction; all of them, like Leohart, have made outstanding achievements in the previous war. fierce general.Therefore, the Cardinal was afraid that they would give too much power to Leohart if they stayed in the center, so they all sent to the frontier, but the situation has changed now.

"This decisive battle is a key battle to determine the hegemony of the demon world. Of course, we must summon our highest combat power."

"No, Your Majesty. This will do more harm than good." Mardonis smiled wryly.

"The combat power of the generals is undoubtedly high. However, it is precisely because of them to contain other forces on the frontier that the center where we are - this Rendwaal can maintain peace. As long as one is called back, there will be no side In the end... isn't it putting the cart before the horse to weaken the frontier military power for this decisive battle, so that other forces have the opportunity to take advantage of it? And..."

Mardonis added: "In terms of a decisive battle to determine the future of the devil world, seven to five is more suitable as the number of representatives, right? And the opponent also happens to be seven people."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Leohart was at a loss for what Mardonis said.In this demon world, the number 'seven' has a special meaning, among which the 'seven deadly sins' are the most representative; Leohart deliberately positioned the representative as five in order to prevent the public from associating with the ancient Cardinal Council politics.It was not decided to remove Galdo's four, or to exclude Luka, who has no combat power, and lowered it to three, considering that hostile forces such as the Cardinal Council may think that "Leohart is actually in this important situation." In order to cooperate with their own interests, they disregarded historical traditions and insisted on doing things' and other reasons to find faults; therefore, they reluctantly decided to be five in the absence of Galdo to avoid this risk.

Unexpectedly, they were able to take advantage of the absence they had caused in turn.

Although the older you live, the thicker your skin becomes, but it is really eye-opening to be able to justify and sell one's own self-interest in this way.If you want to deal with the cunning Cardinal, you really can't use a set method.

But—and because of this, no matter what, these old thieves must be wiped out.

If you continue to stick to your point of view, you may suffer instead.
