Chapter 1363 Questioning

The Orc King expressed great interest in my participation in the battle, especially since it was a major victory.

I'm not happy about this at all.

"Xiao Yi, I see that you are not happy. Could it be that Lesta's words are full of water and that it was not a major victory in the battle?"

The Beastman King looked directly at me with his eyes full of expectation.

"That was indeed a major victory." I said calmly: "The elites of the dwarf guild and the local adventurers led by the city lord's son launched a desperate struggle with the invading second combat team of the Knights of the Round Table Guild. At the cost of very few casualties. Under such circumstances, we completely wiped out the invading second combat team of the Knights of the Round Table Guild."

"Isn't this great?" the orc king said, "Why do you look so disappointed?"

"That's because." After a moment of silence, I said slowly: "I saw the ruthlessness and cruelty of war. Innocent residents became victims in the invasion. Among them were men, women, old people, and babies. Every one of them People originally harbored hopes for future life, but the moment the butcher knife fell, all dreams were cut off."

"When there is intrusion, there will be tragedy, and when there is war, there will be death." The orc king said: "If you want to blame it, you must blame the villains who launched the intrusion war. If they are willing to keep their peace, if they will not act recklessly because of their own selfish desires. If the army invades our border area of ​​Dasai City, all tragedies will not happen."

"Come here, Xiaoyi" the Orc King waved to me.

I walked over and he patted my back gently and said gently: "You have experienced a cruel war and you have protected my people. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?"

Reward?

Shaking my head slightly, I said in a low tone: "I don't want any reward, I just hope that Dashai City can become stronger. Only if it is stronger, Airui City and York City will not dare to invade rashly. Only if it is stronger, , those innocent residents will not be massacred."

"How do you think I, York Hancheng, can become stronger?" the Orc King asked.

"To be honest, I don't have any countermeasures yet. After all, I don't know much about Dashai City's national conditions, but I know one thing. Since Ai Rui City and York Han City dare to invade here, it means that the strength here is not strong enough. "

"Maybe you are right." The Orc King smiled slightly, turned to Lesta, and said, "How do you feel about Xiao Yi?"

"The old minister thinks that Xiao Yi's words are reasonable," Lesta said: "The road to a strong country is the right path and cannot be neglected."

"In that case, do you have any feasible plan?"

The Orc King looked at Lestat expectantly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty," Lesta said, "No."

The Beastman King was startled, then chuckled twice: "Since there is no such thing, then think about it, think of a feasible countermeasure, and then report to me."

After that, he turned to me and said, "Xiao Yi is going too."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Lesta said respectfully.

I spread my hands and said, "I'll try my best."

After leaving the city lord's mansion, I was walking back when I saw a group of elves walking towards me.

As I approached, the elves stopped and stood in front of me.

I saw that they looked familiar, they were all personal guards of the Elf Queen, so I smiled and greeted them: "Hi, we are on patrol, thank you for your hard work~"

While talking, I planned to take a detour and leave. Unexpectedly, as soon as I moved, this group of elves followed suit. Like shadows, they always kept the same distance from me and were inseparable.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

The leading guard nodded to me: "Sir Elder, Your Majesty has invited me."

Hey, what's going on today? The Orc King just finished looking for me, and the Elf Queen came to me again. Shouldn't the next one be the Dwarf King and the Goblin King?

I was grumbling in my heart, but I still went to the temporary residence of the Elf Queen, wrapped up by the elves.

Entering the hall, Princess Analita and Princess Analetta were playing chess. Seeing me coming, Princess Analita said hello to me, and Princess Analetta made a face to me.

"Where is the Queen?" I asked.

"In the room," Princess Analita said, "go forward, turn left, yes, that's the room."

Opening the door, the Elf Queen, dressed in formal attire, was leaning over the table to review documents. When she saw me coming in, she put down the documents in her hand and said, "Close the door."

After closing the door, she asked me to sit across from me, exhaled softly, and then said: "Elder An Xiaoyi, please tell me the truth. What did you do when you returned to Moonlight City a few days ago?"

As soon as I heard her question, I knew that she definitely knew about this. Anyway, the Fairy Queen didn't say not to let me tell the Fairy Queen about this. Now that she already knows, I'll just tell her straight away: "I Go to quell the rebellion, Your Majesty the Queen."

"Where did you go to quell the rebellion?"

"Ivy City."

"Who went with you?"

"Everyone in Violet City and my people."

"How many people did you kill in this counterinsurgency?"

It seems that this issue is what the Elf Queen is most concerned about, because I saw that her hands have been clenched into fists.

"It's quite a lot," I said, "I didn't count, but it took half a day just to process the corpses."

The Elf Queen instantly turned pale and leaned back dejectedly. She murmured: "I knew it would be like this, grandma, why did you send him to quell the rebellion?"

"Actually, there are not as many people as you think, Queen." I felt the need to explain, so I said: "Although I did kill a lot of people, those people combined are not as many as a medium-sized guild. Moreover, these people are determined to rebel. If we don’t kill them, it will be difficult to quell the rebel consciousness in other people’s hearts.”

"That's what I say, but those are my people." The Elf Queen sighed and said, "If you really want to kill, just kill the leader."

"Well, you are right," I said, "I only killed the leading ones with my own hands."

"Didn't you just say that many people died?" the Elf Queen stared at me and said.

"Yes, I didn't kill the other people," I said. "Some died in the confrontation, some died in the melee, some died in the civil war, and some..."

"There are some more?" The Elf Queen asked, "Tell me the truth. What happened to the others?"

"Well"

Until this moment, I deeply felt that speaking too fast was indeed a shortcoming that needed to be corrected.

"Speak quickly," the Elf Queen said seriously, "Don't lie to me!"

"Okay, I'll tell you." I took a long breath and said, "There are still some family members, namely those who took the lead in the rebellion, who were executed by my order."

The Elf Queen sighed. Although she did not blame me directly this time, I could still feel her sadness.

"Actually, Queen, you really don't have to feel sorry for those people. Really," I explained: "Those people knew clearly that their family members were rebelling, but not only did they not stop them, they actually firmly supported them. If they are not eliminated at once, they may still threaten them in the future. To your position, so I was cruel and killed them all. In fact, I couldn't bear it. Really, eh? Don't you believe it? I didn't lie. Look at my sincere eyes. The eyes are shining with pure light!"
