Captured alive by the devil, I would rather die than submit

"Listen to you...you seem to be very supportive of Dipalona."

"Not at all. Although Goloy was indeed a bastard and used love to deceive a woman, but Dipalona is not a good person herself, and there are many women who have been betrayed by her. If you don't believe me, ask you That little maid of mine will know how much she hates Dipalona."

Belegia didn't grit her teeth. She expressed her views in such a very flat manner, but she mentioned gender issues many times in her words, and even used it to judge Goloy and Dipalona. I think she pays more attention to another...in her view, the essential problem than I imagined.

Chapter 251. Annoyance in the Council Hall (Goloi)

The army led by Agadina continued to march towards Pride, and hardly encountered any substantial and large-scale resistance along the way. It is no wonder that Pride's situation is different from that of Envi, because I put All the members of his clan were wiped out, and the so-called blood struggle and power struggle lost their foundation. Of course, this just means that there is no such struggle within the family.

So I still retain the prestige I deserve in Praed. No one thinks that the situation has changed a lot after Agadina became the lord. The people in Praed simply think that her brother is gone. So my sister came to help rule, and it didn't feel like I was on the opposite side of Agadina all of a sudden.

Until the outbreak of the war, people's ideas in this regard have not changed much. In the eyes of the abstract Praed people, the massacre of thousands of people is nothing more than a small fight between brothers and sisters. It seems that even the least knowledgeable, The common people at the bottom can guess that this king will never kill Agadina.

In this way, it is not surprising that everything that happened today is in the eyes of the people of Pride. They will not be curious about why Agadina led the succubus army back to Pride in such a mighty way. They will only think, "Oh, Lord Agadina is back."

What a double-edged sword...

Although relying on this series of cultural and moral reasons, Pride did not split, and I did not use too many troops to maintain the normal operation of Pride after the war, but in the same way, when Agadina really leads the army back, Pride will become an unstoppable situation, and attacking the city is like picking something out of a pocket.

It happened to be the succubus army...they are the best at deceiving the army, this is the nature of the succubus, and it has been improved under the training of Dipalona. This queen wants those who have been invaded by her hometown to welcome the invaders, and use the sweetness of her appearance to charm and dominate everything.

It's superficial...but it works quite well.

However, I will never give up my hometown. I love Agadina, and she was indeed the lord of Pride. If Agadina really wants to ask me for her due rights one day, I probably won’t refuse, but the problem now is that the person who asked me for all these is not Agadina, but Dipalona. My little sister was used by others, but I... didn’t know it?

I actually don't want to believe that Agadina will sell her dignity to Dipalona for the benefit of Pride. There is nothing more insulting to the blood of the Lucifer family than this. I would rather believe that Agadina is Too ignorant, didn't see through all this, instead of being completely driven by interests to "share the same hatred" with Dipalona against me.

Now I can only count on, first, my defending generals in Praed can see the situation clearly and act on their own. If they rely on the orders sent from Satan City, it will be too late.

As long as you still have a well-organized army in your hands, these cities will be recaptured sooner or later.

Second, reinforcements must be made to Pride. Pride's defenders can only temporarily hold Agadina back. As for how long it will last, I have no idea at all. Fortunately, Pride is my hometown, and conscription is relatively easy. As long as there are enough supplies...

As a result, at this moment in the council hall, it seems to be divided into two factions, one faction supports a large amount of materials from Satan City to assist Prued, thereby expanding the size of the local defenders, and the other faction disagrees, thinking that the situation in Satan City is already very tense Well, if you still take out supplies to help Pride, it will only make the situation worse. They question the supporters, what will happen once these supplies are used up.

There were quarrels in the entire council hall one after another, which gave me a headache, but at this time, even the devil can’t speak out, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. I am not strong enough to predict and bear all the results, and the unity of hell is by no means the unity of force. This is why political actions such as the opening of the school palace are important.

only……

"You people are cowards! If you abandon Pride at this time and don't send troops, what will the people of Pride think? Can we still have a real foundation for ruling in Pride!"

"You fart! Your Majesty's rule in Pride is not based on this at all! Satan City is almost out of food, how can there be money to help Pride? When the aid resources are exhausted, Pride has no food to eat , Satan City also has no food, didn't they die together!"

"The purpose of aiding Pride is to make Satan City have food. At this time, the situation in Enwei is turbulent. If Pride is lost again, the Demon King's territory will be left alone. What else can we eat? Soldiers are approaching the city! Lips and teeth depend on each other, do you cowards understand that?"

"Who are you calling a coward?"

"How about scolding you, you owe scolding!"

Although... these quarrels really upset me.

In the end, the meeting still didn't discuss any results, neither side convinced the other, and no one convinced anyone, and from what I heard, both sides were very reasonable, so the result ended hastily.

And after the meeting, I kept Pedeolo and wanted to talk to her alone.She is the highest-ranking general in the entire Satan City, and also my most important confidant, so her opinion is decisive.

After those scholars, ministers and generals left, only the two of us were left in Noda's council hall, although there were not many people meeting here.

The Council Hall is the largest place in the Demon King's Palace. It was built separately in a side hall. Originally, this side hall was used by ministers and some officials for office work, but as the Demon King's Palace gradually became completely private After the residence, the establishment of the governing body was moved out of the Demon Palace, and this two-story conference hall, and even the entire government hall were rarely used...

What's more, there are not many ministers and generals under the king now. After the Monstein incident, with the execution of Locador, a large number of people with ulterior motives were also executed or exiled.

However, with the opening of the academy, a lot of sinner scholars gathered.

The entire council hall is in the shape of a keyhole, the lower half is circular, and the upper half is rectangular. The upper and lower floors of the lower half are used by ministers and generals according to their status, while the upper half is where the king's main seat is. On the high platform at the front is only a throne with a long history and vicissitudes, which can have a panoramic view of the entire hall.

"Pedeoloo... Tell me, when will this hall be full of people?"

Chapter 252. Unreasonable Choices (Goloi)

Pedeo was standing some distance away from me, with his slender hands resting on the black sword hilt, he moved slightly and turned around to look around the entire council hall.

With her tall back, her jet-black hair is scattered behind her like a waterfall, and her fluffy tail is raised upwards, occasionally shaking it twice.

In the end, she turned towards me, and her usually immature cheeks now had the calmness that a senior general of the Demon King's Army should have. However, this abstract majesty, which was entirely derived from her character, did not conflict with her creamy and elegant appearance, but gave her a bit of power to rule.

Pedeo took a few steps forward. She doesn't care if the sword at her waist is too close to her master, which will cause etiquette offense. It's not that she lacks education in this area, but the distance between me and her It determines what the specific content of this etiquette should look like.

"Your Majesty, this hall can hold thousands of people."

"Yes, after all, it was expanded by the demon kings of the past. At first, it was just a few scattered people. Later, it became such a hall, and a palace was erected outside."

From all these developments, it can be seen that the power of the devil as an individual is getting smaller and smaller, no matter how powerful the individual is, it is of no use. Who has ruled, then what is the purpose of living, to taste the pain of hell alone?

"According to the previously envisioned expansion plan of the Demon King's Palace, the entire Demon King's Palace will be expanded to the current area of ​​Satan City, which means that in the future, a political hall that can accommodate several 10 people will be built."

"With so many people talking, can it be regarded as discussing politics? It should be listening to your majesty."

"You dare to mock me."

Pedeo looked at me in a puzzled way, she didn't mean to make such a joke, she was speaking from her heart.

"But now it seems that it is not an easy task to fill this hall with people."

"Is that so? I think it's easy. If Your Majesty wants to, call all the soldiers from the guard to make sure the seats are full."

"What's the point of that..."

"Exactly, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter how many people can sit, what matters is how many useful people can sit."

She laughed heartily, and I seemed to have fallen into the trap she set in the dialogue as her "enemy". With my slender arms pinching my waist, my heroic appearance made me look a bit embarrassed.

"Occasionally, Pedeo will say something meaningful."

"You really look down on me, Master." As she said that, her tone and demeanor resembled that of a pure young girl, except for her vigorous and neat uniform, she also hid the majesty of the general somewhere.

"Okay." I shook my wrist lightly. "I just want to ask, what do you think?"

"About supporting Praed?"

"During the quarrel just now, you didn't say much, tsk, I've had enough of Penelado."

Pedeo looked at me nervously, his chin almost on his chest.

"Penilado-sama advocates support...isn't it?"

"Yes, but once he quarrels with others, the crow's voice is so sharp that it hurts my ears."

Speaking of which, Pedro and I both recalled the meeting just now, and laughed at the same time. Penilado, a noble demon nobleman, puffed out his chest and roared sharply, causing the entire council hall to echo the shrill cries of crows, and completely overwhelmed the opposition in terms of momentum.

"But you don't talk too much."

"I feel a little lazy..."

"Do you think it's really appropriate to say such things in front of the Demon King?"

"But if I don't say that, wouldn't it be deceiving you?" In order to show his sincerity, Pedeo also solemnly put his hands on his chest.

"So, what is your attitude? I need to know your opinion. Now Lasevier is not here, Beda is not here, and some other generals are not here..."

"I'm the only one left, isn't it? You regard me as a substitute for those grown-ups."

"You should feel lucky, my little she-wolf, because these people are not here, so you can have such a chance to speak out."

Pedeo's legs were crossed, and the standing posture did not look like a woman at all. She rendered her appearance as the noble prince in fairy tales, but Lipatia would never have such a dignified posture. Although she was different from Pedeo, Lipatia only became a woman later, but she perfectly reproduced the enchanting and gentleness of females in the impression of males.

"My opinion is ... no support in the traditional sense."

"tell me the story."

"I see that your majesty has always been hesitant. This is not like you, because you have always had your own strict opinions. When should you make peace and when should you fight? I have been fighting with you for so long. I understand, but everyone can see that you are confused, but you are not the only one who is confused, I am also a little confused, after all, what the two factions say makes sense, right?"

"That's right. Originally, the purpose of arranging troops on the battlefield is to kill the opponent, so you don't have to think too much. If you fight to the death, you can kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. But now, you don't even have the opportunity to make this sacrifice. You only have to speculate." I stroked the rough armrest of the throne, looked ahead carefully, and slowly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"So, during this period, I have also thought a lot. If what the two factions say is reasonable, it means that both factions have merits. Giving up Pride... definitely won't work, but if it can't be sustained , then the support is meaningless, so there is only one way out, which is to support Praed, but not to consume the resources of the Demon King's territory."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Yes, I think so, Your Majesty, but this is by no means a good thing. It is a choice that can only be made as a last resort when all roads are dead and the mountains are at a dead end."

Pedeo's upright standing posture became more and more confident, and she looked a little arrogant, but she still used her beauty to offset the displeasure caused by this arrogance to others. She looked at me without saying a word, and the expression on her face was still stable and calm, and her delicate facial features revealed sophistication.

She seemed to be cheering up, but not to cheer herself up, but to establish the right idea for her somewhat hesitant master.

She stared at me intently, but I became a little afraid. I couldn't stand her anxious gaze, and slowly turned my head away, but the moment I looked away, she continued: "Your Majesty, if If you can go to Pride in person, the situation may be much better."

"Do you want me to face Agadina in person?"

"Isn't this the original intention of Lady Agadina? You are hesitant because she is your younger sister. The blood relationship makes the situation even more difficult. But I don't believe that Lady Agadina is so ruthless in wanting to destroy you. So I think that if you can talk to Lady Agadina face to face, we can relax a little bit in the military."

She moved her footsteps, and walked forward for about half a step. The sword at her waist and the shiny medal pinned to the double-breasted uniform shook and made a crisp sound.

"Actually, it's not like this king hasn't thought about it..."

"Yes, I know, Your Majesty, it was because you thought about it that I brought it up."

"Why, Pedro, have you also learned to play by ear?"

"After all, I am your subordinate. Although I don't know much about the world, if you don't like it, I will try not to say it." She pouted her lips, making her voice sound a little grievanced.

"But...it's been like this since ancient times. If you can't win on the battlefield, how can you talk on the table?"

"It depends on your ability. Don't forget, the lady standing behind you is Lipatia. It's heaven. You are acting according to the will of God."

"But Agadina hates angels and heaven to the core. The more I show my authority, the more it irritates her."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, these details... Although it's a bit irresponsible to say it, it's all your own responsibility, and I can't solve it for you." Pedro put her slender and straight hands together. leg, bowed slightly to me as an apology. "You are right. The victory or defeat on the battlefield is the bargaining chip on the table. As a soldier, I am naturally aware of this. However, please think about it carefully. On the other hand, why not? If there is no turning point in the dialogue, the outcome of the battlefield has already been predetermined."

Pedeo paused for a moment, then raised his head slightly, stared at me with stern eyes and said: "And... you know all of this is Dipalona's conspiracy, but what we are facing is only a part of her conspiracy. It is Lady Lipatia who is fighting the cunning Succubus Queen face to face at this moment. Therefore, the victory or defeat of Priede is also directly related to the progress of Lady Lipatia on Envi's side."

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but gasp, my body felt more and more heavy, but my mental energy was lifted up, I felt my chest was burning with flames, my throat was abnormally dry, Lipatia's figure appeared in front of my eyes, still so imposing, but the concern for her safety made me stand up from the chair all of a sudden, and I couldn't sit any longer.

"Yeah, if Dipalona wants to eat us, she must first take down Envi, and to take down Envi, she must first make us mess up... Enwei's side now depends on Lipatia and..."

My bastard clone...

"You're right, Pedro, let go at this time... It's not just my hard work that's been betrayed."

Chapter 253. The Long-lost Contact (Lipatia)

Belegia's words reminded me, and I have been hesitant to contact Goloy since then.

I haven't contacted Goloy for a long time. Whether it's his voice or his appearance, I feel that it has gradually become a kind of past in memory, without any sense of reality. Although Belegia is somewhat similar to Goloy, she has gradually become her own completely independent personality. What can be seen from her is only Lucifer's blood, and there is no Goloy's personality anymore.

No, but... If you think about him or something, there is no such thing. I am so annoyed to death every day, I don’t have any thoughts and time, let alone thinking about that bastard devil. From a personal emotional point of view, it is absolutely impossible. I don’t think about him or anything at all.

Well, yes, that's it.

It's just... just a little bit worried about him. After all, I don't know what's going on in Satan City, and Belegia is right. Dipalona is a person who should not be underestimated. Her Rust is different from the power of the Demon King. She is not short of soldiers or money.

At night, I lay beside Finicely, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, my mind was full of entanglements with Goloi, but it was a quiet night, and I couldn’t find anyone to discuss with, lying in bed I couldn't fall asleep on the bed again, not to mention how uncomfortable the burning pain was.

I didn't want to wake up Finiseli, and since I really couldn't sleep, I got up and walked around the room barefoot.

I’m a little confused, but how can a person not even understand the thoughts in his own mind? Isn’t confusion just like that? I never experienced this kind of pain when I was in heaven. I have always stuck to God I know what I should do, and there is absolutely no situation in my daily life that forces me to make a choice like this.

No wonder it is said that hell is a place to punish and torture sinners. I feel this deeply. Even if you are not surrounded by war and killing, you will definitely suffer from various tortures mentally.

"..."

The tired succubus maid was still sleeping on the bed, so I just opened my mouth and kept scratching my head, but I still couldn't restrain my anxious heart.

No matter, I will contact Goloy for a while, but this is not for other reasons, but for...to understand the situation of the other party, and also to let the bastard devil know the situation on our side.

Thinking like this, I came to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and took out a delicate small box inside. After opening it, there was a finely carved purple diamond necklace placed there.

I picked up the necklace, put the locket on the table, and slipped out of the room quietly.

After walking quickly to the study room closest to me, I closed the door, and then began to set up a barrier in the room.

As Belegia said before, Dipalona is likely to be watching us all the time. If we contact someone through such magic means, then Dipalona may overhear our conversation. After all, this method of contact is also achieved by magic, just like a combination lock. As long as the password is correct, anyone can eavesdrop on our conversation.

Although the entire city and the palace have already set up barriers, which are quite strong, but for safety reasons, I still built an independent small barrier with the strange angelic magic of demons as the core, because... I don't want anyone else to hear my conversation with Goloy except Dipalona.

Because this is a secret, who knows what Goloy will say, so it is definitely not for personal reasons...just to prevent the leakage of secrets...

Everything was ready, the gloomy silver light unique to Enwei underwater city passed through the soft window screens and scattered in the house without a sound, and the surroundings were silent. Who would have thought that hell could be so surprisingly quiet, making People have the illusion that they can escape from the suffering of hell, only their own breathing, heartbeat, and the noise imagined in their minds are constantly disturbing their weak will.
