Chapter 3583 Reason
Heloise was puzzled by the monster's behavior. Since they had conquered the town, why not start a massacre?
Just like how people describe monsters: cruel, ruthless, cold-blooded, and murderous.
She kept complaining, and I listened quietly. It wasn't until she finished speaking and started asking me for my opinion that I said, "I only express my personal opinion."
"The reason why the monster does this is probably to let the residents of the demon world see clearly the nature of the apostle."
"The essence of an apostle?" Heloise asked in confusion: "What is that?"
"Such as ignoring the lives of ordinary human beings is definitely not a positive thing anyway."
"Could it be that the invaders hope that we will get angry because of this and start to oppose the rule of the apostles?" Heloise smiled bitterly: "But how is this possible? The apostles are gods in the demon world, and they are gods in every sense. We have no resistance in our bones. Their method is based on bloodline suppression."
"Do you really think of the apostles as lions and yourself as a deer?"
"Isn't it?" Heloise asked.
I thought about it and suddenly felt speechless.
Not long after I hung up the call, another call came from an unknown number.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"It's me, Prey."
I was startled and said with a smile: "So it's you. How have you been lately?"
"Not good," Pui said, "We just lost the battle and lost the city."
"Please don't be too sad"
"I'm not sad," Prey said: "Everything was Ozma's fault. God knows, this guy took the wrong medicine and ended up fighting. This caused the invaders to suddenly increase their troops. We had no choice but to abandon it. Defend the city.”
"I heard that the monster didn't go on a killing spree after entering the city?"
"The little girl from the Oath Defenders told you, yes, the monsters did not go on a killing spree, but the situation is still not optimistic." Prey said solemnly: "Due to this retreat, the people from the demon world have a negative attitude toward our apostles. Although we don’t dare to speak out loudly now, in the long run, our position will be shaken.”
I originally wanted to tease him, but when I thought about the good relationship between Prey and me, I gave up the idea and asked seriously: "How can we save it? What are your plans?"
"We can only fight one battle," Prey said: "But the power of a few of our apostles alone may not be enough. The most urgent task is for you to come back with Casillas to help us."
"That's no problem" I said.
After hanging up the phone, I came to Casillas' ward, glanced at Casillas who was doing push-ups with one hand, and said, "How are you doing now?"
"It couldn't be better," Casillas said, "I plan to challenge the fortieth floor again in a week."
"I'm afraid this won't work."
"Huh?" Casillas stopped and looked at me, with doubts in his indifferent eyes.
"The Demon Realm is in danger," I said, "We have lost one city. Now, all the Demon Realm defenders are temporarily stationed in the nearest town."
"Falled?" Casillas frowned and said, "Why did it fall? Are the Demon World people so useless? Where are Held and the others?"
"It's not that the demons are useless, it's Ozma who broke the inherent balance and took the lead, causing dissatisfaction with the invaders."
"Ozma" Casillas murmured, picked up the towel, wiped his body, threw it aside, and said, "When will we set off?"
"Today" I said, "I will open the portal later."
"good."
Casillas said nothing and began to pack his bags.
I quickly returned home, explained the whole situation to the old man, and asked him to inform my family on my behalf and not to worry. Then, I went to the palace to say goodbye to Master Dewey and their two majesties.
Although Master Dewey and his two majesties were very reluctant to leave, seeing that I had decided to go, they stopped trying to stop me. They just prepared some spare items for me and sent me off.
Arriving on the surface, I cast my magic, opened the portal, and stepped into it first, with Casillas following closely behind me.
Since the portal is a location-based transmission, and the places I can locate in the demon world are limited, I chose the last position I located before leaving the demon world for transmission. When entering the portal, the first scene we saw was the desolate grassland. , and isolated ruined towns.
Surprisingly, it was the lost town!
"Half of the city wall collapsed," I murmured, "It's not hard to imagine how intense the battle was at that time."
"Ozma Ozma."
Casillas stared at the broken city wall with dangerous eyes and murmured.
I guess that the first time he saw Ozma, he would give this guy a hard chop.
Sure enough, the moment we arrived at the garrisoned town and saw the apostles, Casillas drew his sword and angrily slashed Ozma.
This unexpected blow stunned Ozma on the spot. There was a muffled sound, but there was no blood spilling out.
The place where Ozma was struck turned into a black smoke, which slowly gathered into shape within a few minutes after Casillas put away the knife.
"Are you crazy?" Ozma yelled with an angry look on his face: "Cut all your own people!"
"One of our own?" Casillas said coldly: "You took action without permission, broke the existing situation, and caused the city to fall. How dare you call yourself one of your own?"
"It's like the wind is like the rain!" Ozma was furious and shouted: "You are not in the devil world, what do you know!"
After hearing this, Casillas calmed down a little, sheathed his sword, and said slowly: "Tell me the truth."
Ozma ignored Casillas' arrogant tone and cold attitude, and he also knew that some things, if not explained clearly, could easily lead to civil strife, and once civil strife broke out, the forces that had finally managed to operate would be destroyed in an instant. Falling apart.
Although Ozma is a being with a long life, starting from scratch will eventually destroy their fighting spirit.
At the moment, Ozma told the whole story of the incident.
It turns out that the reason Ozma chose to take action was because there was a different kind of monster among the monsters, or in other words, there was a different kind of monster that had been hiding among the monster army.
When the war was about to end, the stalemate was suddenly broken, and those strange monsters suddenly burst out with real power, killing the surrounding adventurers inhumanely.
Seeing that the war situation was developing out of control, Ozma chose to take action boldly and kill all the alternative ones.
But after taking action, Ozma regretted it, because the apostle was not allowed to directly participate in the battle.
What happened next was very clear, because the apostles' participation in the battle caused the war situation to develop in another direction. All the invaders present were almost wiped out, which also aroused the anger of the invaders.
The angry invaders sent powerful monsters to invade the town. In just over half an hour, they entered the town and then started fighting with a group of apostles.
Although the apostles are powerful, they are still unable to cope with monsters that are not much different in strength from themselves, but are twice as many in number.
After fighting for several hours, they were defeated.
Although it was only a small defeat, it was still a defeat. As a last resort, the apostle had to lead a group of humans and leave the defensive city.
