The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1556 445: The Sword Saint's Resolve

Outside Twilight City, green banners surrounded the city walls tightly, and even from the highest tower, one could not see the end of the army formation.

The soldiers on the walls couldn't help but swallow hard, and the citizens inside the city had despair written all over their faces, while those outside had simply given up resistance, either pulled into the ranks of the Green Forest Army or became their reserve food.

Such has always been the nature of uprisings in this forest.

This fire will not cease until nine out of ten rooms are empty and rivers of blood flow.

Watching the army outside, Governor Baron Elaric's face was filled with worry, praying silently in his heart.

Saint Sis above...

At this moment, besides praying and waiting, there was nothing else he could do...

Outside the city, in the Green Forest Army camp, the high-spirited Green Turbans were cooking.

Quartermaster Selas was staring at the map expressionlessly, gazing at the walls north of Twilight City as if pondering something.

At this moment, a cloaked figure silently appeared behind him and, in a hoarse, harsh voice, said.

"Ah Ka is dead, around Wheat Field Village in Sparrow Wood Territory... killed by Sword Saint Gangte."

Under the cloak was a sly and cunning rat face, with two mung bean-like eyes gleaming with cold and fierce light.

However, in front of this quartermaster, it was as docile and obedient as a hamster.

The reason was simple.

Only because this human was known as a person passing the Greedy Trial, and was identified by the "Gluttonous Rat" Gerro as a Chosen One.

Under the orders of the Gluttonous Rat, the "Rot Clan" entrenched in the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range would follow his greedy sacrifice and complete the grand ritual to please the Gluttonous Rat.

And the so-called "Gluttonous Rat" Gerro was just a guise for "Eternal Hunger Claw" Urgos in the Mouse-man Kingdom.

They were one and the same.

That's also why the Green Forest Army's supplies were never interrupted.

Not because they could scavenge food that even the Lords couldn't, nor because they were braver warriors than their compatriots, but merely because they had a bigger backer behind them than the Kingdom.

As Selas' secret support, the Rot Clan not only transported food and weapons to his army through underground tunnels but also dispatched elite "Plague Tooth Assassins" to the Twilight Province to assist him with intelligence activities, planning a series of sabotage actions including kidnapping and poisoning.

The power of one province could never be their match, while the foolish King was turning a blind eye to this raging fire...

However, they eventually encountered trouble, and it was a bigger problem than Erin Campbell.

The Sword Saint has taken the field.

After hearing the report from the Plague Tooth Assassin, Selas squinted slightly.

"Gangte again, always that guy... seems our 'Butcher' Malaki also died by his hands."

The Plague Tooth Assassin bowed his head.

"That's right."

Twelve leaders had already died, three, and one was a traitor who betrayed the True God.

But Selas wasn't flustered at all, instead, a meaningful smile played at the corner of his mouth.

The logic of how Chaos Apostles obtain Strength is entirely different from the followers of Saint Sis.

For example, the Angel Envoy of the Deceitful Fog needs to weave a huge conspiracy to engulf more people, while the Angel Envoy of the Eternal Hunger Claw needs to incite greater and more extreme oppression.

With oppression comes resistance.

Whether the oppression is passively endured or actively emerges under their provocation, in terms of results, it makes no difference, and it can all inject them with the Strength from the Void.

Including himself, the twelve "Angel Envoys" chosen by the ritual were all sacrifices.

Whether Gangte or the Campbell people, the more they kill, the stronger the power of Chaos will be on this land!

When they kill until only one Angel Envoy remains, or when all twelve are killed... then the true Chaos Chosen will descend upon this land.

Therefore, Selas was eager for Gangte and Erin to kill more, ideally, kill all the other Angel Envoys except him!

Especially kill that "Green Turban" Kelan, soon the Imperial people will see a Purple Crystal Level Angel Envoy, then shout like bumpkins that it's impossible!

In contrast, for Urgos' plan, the rogue "Holy Maiden Carian" was the biggest threat.

And, the "Iron Bull" Brennan, a wasted sacrifice, was the most regrettable.

Selas even began to suspect that the guy wasn't Saint Sis' Divine Chosen at all, but rather another force interfering in the Twilight Province situation.

But who could it be?

It couldn't possibly be Hell...

They were indeed driving the Undead, but the Holy Spirit's statement and the Sword Saint's attitude left him undecided.

Selas pondered meditation for a long time without an answer and finally decided to tackle the problem itself.

He turned to look at the Plague Tooth Assassin kneeling on one knee and said in a gentle tone.

"... Apostle of the Rot Clan, I need you to help me with something."

"What's the matter?"

Selas' eyes flashed with a hint of sternness.

"Take her out."

The Ratman Assassin was slightly surprised and looked up at him.

"Isn't she your sacrifice?"

"That's true, initially, we did grant her the glorious mission, permitting her to join the Divine Kingdom of the True God as either a martyr or submitter, but unfortunately... the one sent to persuade her, Ah Ka, died midway."
