Chapter 900: Under the Calm

After that, the allied forces successfully entered the Northland Fortress and joined the noble army there. Next, they only need to repair the magic circle under the Northland Fortress to restart the Great Barrier.

Everything went as smoothly as it could, and even the allied forces breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had already reached their destination. Next, they only needed to guard the Northland Fortress, wait for the magic circle to be repaired, and then activate the Great Barrier.

Although they did not encounter any danger, this achievement alone was enough to make people excited.

But unlike most people who were in high spirits, there were always a few people with dark faces and a very unhappy mood.

For example, Prince Algard who appeared in front of Duanmu Huai now.

"What should I do now?"

Duanmu Huai spread his hands helplessly and looked at Prince Algard. The other party did have a careful plan, but the premise was that the demons would play with you.

Now that they don't play with you at all, what's the use of having ideas?

It's like you plan to go to a bar to get a girl drunk and take her home, but the premise is that the girl goes to the bar with you. If she goes home directly instead of going to the bar, the medicine you bring will be useless no matter how effective it is, right?

"If that's the case, then I'm not without a solution."

Prince Algard also looked gloomy. He had planned well, but it turned out like this. He didn't weaken the power of the nobles, but let them take the first credit... Humans really can't understand what the demons are thinking.

"If everything goes well, then my father will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate after returning home."

"That's..."

Although the process was a bit sloppy, the result was that the Northland Fortress was successfully recaptured, so it was natural to celebrate.

"I will publicly disclose the fact that I have broken the elf contract at the banquet."

At this point, Algard showed a cold smile.

"Didn't everyone abandon the princess because she couldn't sign a contract with the elves? If I also abandon the elf contract, then I want to see what those nobles are going to do!"

"Well... then what?"

"In the worst case... I'll leave it to you."

"... Do you want me to kill them all?"

"Yes, I have no one else to ask except you."

"... You are so old, don't you even have your own private soldiers and confidants?"

"The people gathered around me are all elf believers who oppose the princess. There is no room for me to intervene. I can only pretend to be a puppet that suits their wishes on the surface."

"You are miserable enough."

Hearing Algard's sigh, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. Algard is not a prince at all, he is a spy among the enemy. If you look at it from this perspective, then he really can't recruit any confidants. After all, the nobles all regard Algard as the banner of the elves. If you find someone to say that you want to rebel, the other party might sell you out.

But...

"Are you sure? If I take action, many people will die."

Since it was confirmed that the magic elves were connected to the subspace, Duanmu Huai would no longer stand by and watch, but strongly support Prince Algard's reform. Of course, if he takes action, he must bloodbath the entire Paletia high-level. In this regard, Duanmu Huai would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

"Of course."

"In the worst case, I can still pat my butt and run away, but you can't run away."

"That doesn't matter."

Prince Algard shook his head.

"Reform is bound to bleed. I want everyone to know that the elven magic is no longer suitable for the current world. A mild reform like my grandfather will not have any effect. If you want to completely tear it all apart, you must expose it completely and bloodily. Only in this way can everyone understand the importance of this matter!"

At this point, Algard clenched his fists.

"If my death can awaken others, then I will do it!"

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Hearing Prince Algard's words, Duanmu Huai nodded with deep emotion.

It must be said that this is really a bit of the spirit of "Every country's reform is achieved through bloodshed. Today, there is no bloodshed due to reform, and this country is not prosperous."

"What if your death is useless?"

"Then Paletia should be destroyed."

Algard sighed.

"If it goes on like this, this country will perish sooner or later. Since I can't save it, then I might as well destroy it. As long as a large number of nobles who inherit the elven bloodline die, then at least there will never be such a world again in the future."

"Okay, since you said so..."

"Knock knock knock."

Just when Duanmu Huai was about to say something else, there was a knock on the door, and then Duanmu Huai flashed back, and his huge body disappeared into the dark shadows. After Duanmu Huai disappeared, Algard turned around and looked at the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Your Highness. The magic circle of the great barrier has been repaired. I'm waiting for you to activate it!"

The voice coming from outside the door was that of Viscount Julius. Hearing his annoying voice, Algard frowned, then walked to the door and opened it.

"Has it been completely repaired?"

"Yes, the court magician has checked it several times, and there is no problem at all."

"Okay, I know."

While saying this, Algard glanced at the shadow in the room, and then retracted his gaze.

"Let's go."

"Okay, please follow me."

Soon, Algard left the room under the escort of the guards and nobles.

At the same time, Duanmu Huai also appeared quietly on the other side of the corridor. Looking at the backs of the group of people going away, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes.

"Ogis, you are really smart."

"Yes, Master."

"What's the matter? Big brother?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's voice, the girls who were originally standing by the wall turned their heads and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Get ready, I always feel that things don't seem to go so smoothly."

Duanmu Huai touched Ogis's little head, and then scratched the really smart ears.

"I have a bad feeling... Never mind, we'll know when the time comes."

Activating the Great Barrier again is naturally a matter of great importance. Not only are the allied forces eagerly looking forward to it, but even the nobles and leaders have arrived. In addition to Duanmu Huai and Enisfia, General Gaius and the leader of the Adventurer's Association, an old warrior in his fifties, also came to the ceremony.

Of course, the most people at the ceremony were the nobles, who were all dressed in luxurious clothes, holding their heads high, looking like peacocks in full bloom.

Only Euphilia stood beside Enisfia with an uneasy look on her face, staring at the ceremony in front of her, silent.

"Lumiere."

Watching Algard walk to the altar, Duanmu Huai lowered his voice and asked Lumiere who was standing behind him.

"What is needed to activate this great barrier?"

"Actually, there is nothing special. It just requires the blood of the royal family. Just cut your finger and drip blood into the brazier to activate the great barrier system."

"Only the royal family? What if the royal family is dead?"

"That's why I only chose the royal bloodline as the reason for activating the great barrier."

Lumiere glared at Duanmu Huai unhappily.

"So what you mean is that because the royal bloodline is related to the great barrier, other people dare not kill all the royal descendants casually?"

"That's about it... After all, they are my descendants, and I certainly don't want to see them killed by some ambitious or stupid guys..."

"Okay, you have good intentions."

Duanmu Huai silently sarcastically said, and then retracted his gaze.

At this time, Algard had also walked to the top of the altar, and then he stretched out his hand and chanted in a low voice.

"Great ancestors, please bless the Kingdom of Paletia, please protect us from evil, we will do our best to guard this land and protect the glory of Paletia..."

Your ancestors are here.

Duanmu Huai looked at Lumiere again, who stood there like nothing happened, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him at all.

"People are calling you, why don't you go up and say a few words?"

"What does it have to do with me..."

Lumiere rolled her eyes helplessly, and then her expression became solemn.

"Didn't you notice? Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"The magic of the elves seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and they seem to be very active."

Lumiere frowned and took a step back. He looked at Euphilia, who was not far away and had the same uneasy expression as himself. Enisfia seemed to have no feeling at all, but was more worried about Euphilia's situation.

"Boom!"

The flames rose from the center of the altar, and then Algard reached out, took out a dagger, and gently cut his fingers. Then, red blood emerged from his fingers and dripped into the flames.

"Boom----!!!"

The next moment, the burning flames suddenly erupted and rushed straight into the sky, as if the entire sky was dyed red. At the same time, countless sparks emerged from the pillars of fire and floated around. If you look closely, you will find that they are not sparks, but glowing little fairies.

Well, just like what Duanmu Huai saw in Euphilia's world of consciousness.

These little fairies exuded a faint glow, circling around the nobles and elf magicians, and occasionally laughed crisply.

"Ahhhh, this is the elf master!"

"Sure enough, the elf master is protecting Paletia!!"

Seeing the magic elves appearing in front of them, many of the nobles also shouted, and they raised their hands and excitedly vented their joy. On the surface, Algard looked solemn and serious, but in fact, he was probably going crazy in his heart.

However, this was not the end.

The next moment, the goblins that were originally circling around the elf magicians suddenly accelerated, and then drilled into the bodies of the nobles one by one.

"Wow, what happened?"

"I can feel my power, ah ah ah, my power is growing!"

"This is the blessing of the elves! This is the blessing of the elves to us!"

Although Duanmu Huai and others did not feel it, looking at the ecstatic expressions of the nobles around them, it seemed that they really gained powerful power.

At this moment, Lumiere's expression became more serious.

"No, the situation is very wrong, everyone, be careful!"

"What's wrong? Lord Lumiere?"

Seeing Lumiere's appearance, Anisphia also hurriedly asked.

"As I said before, if humans sign an elf contract with a magical elf, their souls will shift greatly in the direction of the elf! Eventually they will become a great elf!"

"Huh? Is this an elf contract?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Lumiere's words.

"How is it possible? The Elf Contract requires certain requirements. Not everyone can achieve the Elf Contract. Once someone without sufficient quality forcibly absorbs too much Elf power..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah……………!!"

Before Lumiere finished speaking, suddenly, a roar like a wild beast sounded. Everyone turned their heads to follow the sound, and saw a noble kneeling on the ground. His mouth was open, and his eyes were shining with dazzling light.

"Lord Elf, I feel it! I feel it!!"

As the noble yelled, his body began to expand as if it was inflated. Soon, in full view of everyone, the noble's clothes were completely torn, and his whole body also expanded and became larger, and his whole body was filled with blood. The hair is like a young version of King Kong!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"

Not only him, in fact, other nobles also began to change at this moment. They gradually lost their human form and transformed into unimaginable and extremely ugly monsters.

"Sure enough, I knew these damn subspace bastards had no good intentions!"

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai's eyes flashed, and then he grabbed the war hammer.

"Get out of here!"

With a roar, Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer high and swung it down hard!
