I really only stop

Not as an afterthought, it makes sense to think about it.

With the current combat power, we can't deal a fatal blow to the disaster, even if we use everything we have accumulated so far.

If we want to get everything back on track, we seem to have to follow the exact same path as people ten thousand years ago—destroying the sea race that became the proof of the existence of disaster.

Only in this way can this unreasonable enemy be completely expelled from this world and put an end to the legend of "disaster".

Calamity naturally knows this. When she said goodbye to me, she deliberately scratched her neck to imply to me that "killing all the sea people is more efficient and safe than directly fighting against Calamity", and this is indeed the case.

It doesn't even need the empire to take action, as long as the strongest sister of Tiamat breaks through the seal, she can turn the underwater kingdom into a dead city by herself.

The Sea Clan or the whole world—what is in front of me now is such a multiple-choice question that cannot be called a 'choice'.

If you choose to keep the former, the disaster that will attack one month later will also destroy all existences including the Sea Clan.At that time, it will be the real [leave nothing behind].

Which side to choose, the answer seems obvious.

——However, that is not a choice [I] would make.

With a sudden smile of relief, Lu Xi called Wolf-Er Niang:

"Shallow."

Hearing Lu Xi's call, the little girl with white ears tilted her head curiously:

"Mr. Tail, what's wrong?"

"Do you still remember, at the end of the Cangying incident, what did the high priest of Cangying ask me?"

"Qianqian remember! That old man is really bad!"

Suddenly thinking of the bad old man who wanted to arrest her and sacrifice her, Qianqian nodded vigorously:

"After being defeated by Mr. Tail, the bad old man told the truth about the secret realm and Shadow Sun. Then, he wanted to use this to make fun of Mr. Tail, saying that you came to help Qianqian out of the excitement, if you can't stay out of it, You and he will make the same choice - Qianqian trust Mr. Tail! Mr. Tail will not!"

"Yes, it is like that."

Feeling the girl's trust in him, Lu Xi rubbed Qianqian's head with a smile.

It suddenly occurred to me how similar the current situation was to that time.

Until now, I still don't know the true strength of the shadow monsters hidden in the abyss.But it is basically certain that it was a monster that we could not defeat at that time.

After being knocked down by us, the old Shadow Priest laughed mockingly.He fully thought that we intervened in the internal affairs of Cangying because of the superior psychology of spectators. Once we understand the horror that the monster will bring to the world after breaking the seal, we, who cannot stay out of it, will make the same choice as him—to sacrifice Qianqian Give Shadow Sun.

Human nature is selfish.When things have nothing to do with themselves, everyone is willing to join in the fun.Once this matter is closely related to one's own interests, the situation will be different.

Paying a little girl's life or the horror of shadow monsters breaking through - this is also a question that can be easily weighed by logic.The high priest gave his own answer, and he took it for granted that everyone would make the same choice as him.

However, in the face of his complacency and arrogance, my answer at that time was——

“[Since we win, we must keep winning to the end.]”

Recalling how straightforward he was when he said this, Lu Xi smiled slightly.

Then, he bent down and looked directly into Qian Qian's eyes with extremely serious eyes:

"Listen to me, Qianqian. In a month's time, there will be an unprecedented war sweeping the world. You must be prepared in advance."

"Is this what Mr. Tail has been worrying about?"

Tilting her head slightly, Qianqian patted her chest hard:

"Don't worry, Mr. Tail! Qianqian is already very strong, and she will definitely help you in the battle!"

"No, you can't go to the battlefield."

"--Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Lang Er, who thought she could show her talents, froze in place immediately.

"Qianqian, you have a powerful power called demon nature. Once your [beast nature] recombines with my [joy], you can call many monsters to help us."

Noticing Qianqian's aggrieved expression, Lu Xi quickly explained:

"Remember? At the end of the Hidden Shadow incident, how did we 'seal' the Shadow Monster without injury?"

"By manipulating the bunny!"

Cooperating with Mr. Tail to save the secret realm is one of Qianqian's most precious memories. When Lu Xi just mentioned it, the eyes of Wolf Er Niang lit up:

"Mr. Tail wants to make Qianqian a general!"

"Of course, Qianqian is the general."

Giving a thumbs up to the white wolf-eared lady, Lu Xi continued:

"As the general, you have to command the powerful monsters in the rear. At that time, there will probably be a tablet sister with you to make the necessary equipment for the monsters."

"That's the same as the legendary [Devil King's Army]! After moving to Osiris, Qianqian learned a lot of new knowledge~"

Wagging his tail as if showing off, his shallow eyes fixed on Lu Xi eagerly:

"And then what? Will Mr. Tail be with Qianqian and Pingtan's older sister? Although it's a pity not to be able to go to the battlefield, Qianqian will definitely work hard!"

"No, I will stay with Qianqian at the beginning of the battle. But after that... I may go to the battlefield to see the situation."

His eyes lowered slightly, but soon, Lu Xi smiled again:

"At that time, the rear will have to rely on Qianqian."

"But, but without Mr. Tail, Qianqian can't command Tutu."

Hearing that she was the only one who couldn't go to the battlefield, Wolf Er Niang's mouth puffed up again:

"Mr. Tail, who only arranges special operations for himself, is being ridiculous! Qianqian is also going to fight bad guys on the battlefield!"

"Don't worry, I already have an idea about the imprint. As for [Special Operations]... Coincidentally, I happen to have one here."

Looking around at the abandoned warehouses around, Lu Xi finally put away his smile, and pressed Qianqian's shoulders with a serious face:

"Qianqian, you must remember it well. This is the most important task I entrusted to you—"

Chapter 867

Walking out of her room with Qianqian, before Lu Xi had time to say anything to her, a familiar bluff came from her ears:

"Lu Xi, why is Qianqian with you?"

"When I went to Osiris to do errands, I happened to see Qianqian dangling by herself. Anyway, if I have time, I will take her around."

Replying casually, Lu Xi looked at the pink hair in front of him with some novelty:

"Are you changing your equipment? You're going to be a target if you're shiny."

"The target is the target, isn't this the fate of the meat shield knight?"

Sniffing his nose pretending to be sad, Cupid explained to Lu Xi:

"This set of equipment is a supply from Brother Curly. I heard from him that something big will happen in a month, and his father, General Stormwind, threw him to the city of Rhine to practice. A dignified and popular young man put Jiao Didi's The fiancée can’t be touched, and she has to travel all the way here to work as a coolie—sometimes I feel sorry for that guy.”

"……I see."

Hearing this, Lu Xi nodded thoughtfully.

I didn't notice it just because I came back in a hurry. I took a closer look at the streets of Rhine City. The adventurers who came and went were all serious and hurried.The bustling guild in the past has also been exaggerated by a more serious atmosphere, adding a bit of chill.

It seems that this is the countermeasure made by the Empire and the Adventurer's Guild.

Lu Xi understood.

To be honest, he wasn't surprised that Yuxia was able to persuade the top management of the empire to take action so quickly.

In addition to the father-daughter relationship where blood is thicker than water, His Majesty Tesla, who is the head of the middle-aged group, is also impeccable.On the night when Lu Xi was abducted to the holy land of elves, he and several other members of the middle-aged group probably realized something vaguely, and made corresponding arrangements in advance.

As a city managed by one of the members of the middle-aged group, the former head of the Dragon Knight Legion, Uncle Faron, Rhine City naturally belongs to the first group to get the news.With his excellent overall planning ability, the adventurers here have already begun to strengthen their equipment in an organized way to prepare for the big event in the future.

Similar to the situation here, the reaction of the newly established clergyman's guild is probably not too slow.The clergy were already gearing up to seek justice from that [fake], but at this moment they heard the double call from Bishop Sutton and the Holy Lady, and their cohesion was naturally beyond imagination.

The only one that needs some time to buffer may be the Sea Clan.After all, they, who have been isolated from the outside world for thousands of years, not only need to prepare their combat power, but also need to negotiate specific cooperation details with the relatively unfamiliar empire—with King Edward and the middle-aged group present, this seemingly complicated process will definitely end in the end. Finished as fast as possible.

Based on this estimate, the one-month deadline given by Lacey Levi is enough for people to make full preparations and face the army of elves in the best condition.

"...It's really comfortable to have reliable teammates."

With a sigh from the bottom of his heart, Lu Xi came back to his senses and found that the pink-haired knight was staring at him with a very strange look for some reason:

"What are you doing?"

"I won't ask you about the details after a month. I heard from Brother Young Master that His Majesty the Emperor will give a speech to all the people in a few days. You should be able to hear the explanation at that time."

Looking away awkwardly, the pink-haired knight scratched his hair:

"I just suddenly felt... Are you going to do something unexpected again?"

Unexpectedly, Cupid would say that, Lu Xi was taken aback:

"what?"

"How long do you think I've known you?"

Sighing heavily, the pink-haired knight put the shield back on his back, and counted with Lucy with his fingers:

"Whether it was when I asked me to bombard you with a forbidden scroll in the Flesh and Flesh Maze, or when I asked Nova to apply for a commander in Sky City... You guys always do unexpected things, and your expression now It’s the same as those times again.”

"Yes, is it?"

Rubbing his face hesitantly, Lu Xi looked at Fenmao in disbelief:

"...Is it so obvious?"

"What do you think? Sometimes your comprehension is at the same level as Celica's."

Speechlessly rolled his eyes, after a moment of silence, Cupid seriously pressed Lu Xi's shoulder again:

"Well... I don't know how to say beautiful words, but as your friend, I want to tell you that you are never alone. Celica and the others are also fine, me, little brother and curly brother, no matter When will we all be by your side—oh damn it! What I’m talking about is all nonsense! After all, a brother is a brother! Don’t you guys do something stupid that looks good-looking in a whim!”

"..."

Seeing that the pink-haired knight who was not good at talking seriously scratched his head anxiously, but couldn't express his feelings, Lu Xi fell into silence for a while.

After a long time, he suddenly chuckled:

"Ha, stupid pink hair, I understand why you can't catch up with Miss OL."

"Then there is no way! Do you think anyone can switch to the 'Asasi' mode at any time like you?!"

Because this joke completely returned to its original state, Fenmao, who was relieved for some reason, rolled his eyes again:

"Huaxin Carrot, I'm looking forward to seeing you hang one on each hand and carry another on your back at your wedding."

"You're talking about an acrobatic troupe, right?"

Shaking his head speechlessly, Lucy paused, and suddenly tapped the pink-haired knight's heart:

"……Thanks."

"……cut."

Without responding to this endless thank you, the pink-haired knight turned around immediately, leaving Lu Xi with a back view of waving away:

"Bring me a drink when you have time."

Well, Qian Qian, who is bored and fluttering butterflies, can clearly see that this guy's ears are completely red.

------------

"Then Qianqian, I'll take you here, go home and have dinner."

"Eh? Isn't Mr. Prey coming with you?"

The pure wolf-eared little girl doesn't understand the feelings between adults, she just reluctantly persuaded her to stay:

"The meal cooked by the big sister who lost the bottle is really delicious."

Silly boy, your family is supposed to sit and eat together, I'm going to be a light bulb.

Unable to explain clearly the ignorant relationship between the little brother and the bartender lady to Qianqian, Lu Xi sighed, reached out and rubbed the head of the little girl with wolf ears:

"Although the little brother probably doesn't care, I won't bother the bartender lady. What if she gets angry and mixes the water of life in my wine next time?"

"……Oh."

Shaking her tail in disappointment, Qianqian reluctantly waved her little hand to Lu Xi:

"Goodbye, Mr. Prey. Qianqian will catch Tutu tomorrow. I must be a good general and help Mr. Prey!"
