(Master, what do you say she will do?) ）

Sitting on the stone, Patilina yawned boredly as she looked curiously at Jenny and asked. In the face of Patilina's inquiry, Jenny shrugged her shoulders.

(I think she'll make the decision we want)

(Preferably so)

Hearing Jenny's answer, Patilina pursed her lips and looked dismissive.

(I can't figure it out, isn't it just sacrificing some people?) How I look at Ellie's expression is like the end of the world, so I don't think she's suitable to be a commander. The elves themselves are willing to die, and we will reluctantly let them die, so that they will not be an obstacle to us, but will also be a decoy to attract the enemy to attack. What is there to hesitate about such a good thing? That's why I said that the religious people were sick in the head, and they ......... I think that in our world, when we encountered those kinds of religions, we would just throw poison gas bombs into them............ Keeping these goods is also a waste of taxpayers' money and food, so just kill them directly! The guy who smokes psychotropic drugs is just a headache! ）

(That being said, though............... ）

Saying this, Jenn turned his head and glanced at the tent not far away, and then the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

(I'm sure Ellie will be able to make the right decision)

But for Ellie, the decision was not an easy one to make.

Am I really going to do this?

She asked herself this question over and over again, but she couldn't find any answers. For Ellie, for whatever reason, she shouldn't have watched others die, and even more, this time it wasn't her watching others die. Instead, he took the initiative to send others to die......... Although many things are beyond the control of manpower, this matter is obviously not one of them.

Intellectually, Ellie thinks that Patilina is right, and that she thinks purely in terms of profit, in addition to her emotional statements. Since those elves are so reluctant to leave their homeland. Then just wipe them out together. If you don't, then the Klein Continent, which has lost its barrier, will be invaded by the undead legions. Therefore, no matter from any point of view, it is necessary to explode the Holy Flame Peak and then use the lava to block the invasion of the undead legions.

However, emotionally, Ellie was reluctant to do so, and in any case, she was also a saint, and she could not watch a sinless life die because of her own decision. But. If she hadn't made this decision, countless innocent lives would have died tragically at the hands of the undead.

So, who are you trying to save? And at what sacrifice?

Thinking of this, Ellie looked up, and then she reached out, picked up the bell on the table and shook it. Soon, a priest walked in and bowed respectfully to Ellie.

"Your Highness. What do you command? ”

"Please call Her Royal Highness Princess Viconya."

"Okay."

When Viconia arrived at Ellie's tent, it was already evening. At this moment, Her Highness was sitting on a chair, frowning, with a serious and heavy face. Seeing Viconia's arrival, Ellie raised her head and smiled at her.

"I'm sorry to be here for you so late, Miss Vicanya."

"You're welcome. Your Highness, do you have anything to do with me? ”

Viconya's expression was calm, but her tone was a little cold. However, Ellie also knows very well why this is, although in the end Viconia agreed to Ellie's proposal, but there is always a little pimple in her heart about this matter. But now Ellie doesn't care about appeasing Viconya. After all, for her, the current matter is more important and urgent.

"That's right, Your Highness Princess, I would like to ask how the situation is on the elves' side? Judging by what we've been getting lately, it seems that the Undead Legion is ready to attack us again. And this time if we can't resist the attack, we will have to evacuate this line of defense, I would like to ask, is the elf side ready to evacuate in an emergency? ”

Although Ellie didn't say it obviously, both Ellie and Viconia knew what the other party meant. Before that, the reason why Ellie was able to convince Viconia to accept the proposal was that Viconia had proposed to wait until the elves couldn't stop the undead before retreating. And Ellie accepted this at the time, but now, she doesn't think so.

"We've already discussed this, Your Highness."

In response to Ellie's inquiry, Viconia frowned slightly, obviously showing a somewhat impatient expression.

"We promise to be able to withstand the attacks of the undead army, and with the blessing of the goddess of the forest, we will not lose our homeland like this. If we really can't resist, it's not too late to retreat by then. ”

"But we need a plan!! A tight plan!! ”

Hearing this, Ellie suddenly became angry, she slapped the table hard, and then stood up and glared at Viconia. She was fed up with the elves' argument that "as long as their homes suffer, then the forest goddess will never sit idly by and ignore them". Whether or not the Goddess of the Forest was negligent was not within Ellie's consideration, and she did not expect the Goddess of the Forest to suddenly appear and completely destroy the Undead Legion when they attacked. Although it is said that it is the freedom of the elves to believe in the goddess of the forest, they bet everything on the gods, what is the difference between this and gambling?

"What does it mean to be irresistible? Can you give me a clear answer? Miss Wickonia. Are the elves really ready to retreat? Are you sure they will follow the order to retreat? ”

"I thought the problem wasn't a problem anymore, Your Highness. As I said, when we evacuate, we'll signal. ”

"But it may be too late! What if, by the time we decide to implement our plan, the Undead Legion has already captured the Flame Peak? We simply don't have a spare opportunity to waste! Miss Patilina and Miss Jenny have just surveyed the terrain of the Holy Flame Peak and submitted a report. According to their reports, if we want to detonate the Flame Peak and direct the tide of lava to consume the undead legions, we can only do so by launching an explosive attack on it from the right front. And because of this, we have to carry out the plan before this angle is blocked!! Once you wait until it completely collapses, it's too late!! ”

"Then you can leave this to us...............

"Only Miss Patilina's strength can deliver the most powerful explosions at the most precise angles, and I trust her strength. Besides, devastating spells aren't the elves' specialty. You should be well aware, Her Royal Highness Princess Viconia, that we don't have a chance to take risks at all!! If we fail to achieve our goal this time, then it is almost a complete failure!! ”

"But we haven't failed yet!!"

Perhaps under the influence of Ellie, the elf princess, who had a calm face before, suddenly raised her voice and shouted angrily at this time.

"We can defend our home, we can prove it!!"

"And for the sake of this proof, are you going to put thousands of innocent lives on this continent at risk?!!"

"This is the glory and dignity of our elves!!"

"But that's not a reason for you to act recklessly!! We are not fighting for ourselves, but for the innocent lives of the entire Klein continent!! Don't you see this clearly? Her Royal Highness Princess Viconia!! ”

Ellie had never felt so angry, and all these days, from coming to the Elven Forest, fighting the undead, to running between elves, those feelings of boredom and anger had exploded completely because of Viconia's stubbornness.

"I hope you will be able to deliver on your promises, and I will send you a signal in advance when we carry out our plans. And I hope that when they see the signal, the elves will be able to evacuate the line immediately! Do you still have any questions about this? Her Royal Highness Princess Viconia!! ”

The last sentence, Ellie almost shouted. And hearing her angry shout, even the elf princess was stunned in place. It was the first time she had seen the saint in front of her, who was always calm, calm and serious, showing such an angry expression. This made Viconia shake a little. But in the next moment, the arrogance that belonged to the elves in her heart quickly took over.

"The goddess of the forest will feel our will to protect this forest! We're not going to just take it easy, even if it's until the last minute, we're going to let the undead taste our power!! I believe that the goddess will be on our side, and if we work hard enough, then the goddess of the forest will give us a blessing and fight with us to completely destroy the undead!! ”

Answering coldly, Viconia glared at Ellie dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, are you questioning the boundless divine might of our great goddess?"

"As a believer, I never question the majesty of the gods. I'm just doing what I can. ”

"We're doing what we're supposed to do."

Speaking of this, the elf princess snorted coldly.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but it seems to me that you don't understand the love, faith and glory of our elves for nature."

With that, the elven princess turned and left. Ellie, on the other hand, stood at the table, quietly watching the elven princess's distant back, and then, with a long sigh, sat back in her chair and closed her eyes. At this moment, in the depths of Ellie's heart, the anger did not subside because of the departure of the elf princess, but intensified, burning more and more.

"I will never allow such an act of putting this continent in danger for my own selfishness."

Muttering to herself, Ellie opened her eyes. In her eyes, a very obvious struggle crept by, and then quickly disappeared.

"In that case, then I have to do what I have to do." (To be continued.) )
