Chapter 490 - Misunderstanding Intensifies As Men Are s.n.a.t.c.hed Away
Vincent looked at Benjamin who was speechless and a.n.a.lyzed with a cold smile, "That"s right. Back then, the City Lord of Bright Moon City was summoned to Imperial City. However, who can say for sure if he was really punished? One must know that even the twelve apostles did not have the qualifications to enter Imperial City! Plus, he was a City Lord who had made a mistake. They could have just sent someone to kill him. Why was he specially summoned to Imperial City? This can only mean that he did not go to Imperial City to be punished but to receive a reward. At least in his own eyes, he believed that he was there to receive a reward!"
Gilbo, who no longer needed help and could stand up on his own, asked in confusion, "Why do you say that? If all of this was instigated by the demons, and the City Lord of Bright Moon City was really an accomplice of the demons, then he should be rewarded, right?"
Vincent shook his head, smiled, and said, "All Dark Elves, including the twelve apostles, are just p.a.w.ns in the eyes of the demons! The weaker Dark Elves are followers at will, and the stronger Dark Elves can be recruited as City Lords to manage Elf World for them. This way, world peace can be maintained for the time being. The City Lords who were excavating Origin Divine Earth for the demons were appointed as apostles and were given the opportunity to advance to level 45 creatures! But what use was an apostle who had already completed the mission? Would they let him go to Imperial City and be on equal footing with the demons who claimed to be G.o.d"s messengers? Do you believe that the demons are that kind?"
After hearing Vincent"s story, Gilbo and the others fell silent. They had never thought that the demons were the ones who wanted to destroy the Elf Race. However, after hearing Vincent"s story, they felt that the evidence was conclusive. For a moment, they did not know what to say.
Mcgee, who had long questioned Gajero and the demons, accepted Vincent"s story calmly. He nodded repeatedly to express his approval.
Robin, who was at the side, felt that his brain was spinning. He turned to look at Alger, only to find that his eyes were filled with the same confusion as his. It seemed that they were both confused.
Only Benjamin was the most loyal believer of Gajero. Although he had questioned Gajero like Mcgee, he could not accept Vincent"s accusation as he believe that Vincent did not have any concrete evidence.
"What do you mean when you say that the City Lord of Bright Moon City was killed after entering Imperial City? This would mean that the oracles had sentenced him to death. However, it does not prove that what you said is the truth. Unless you can come up with more powerful evidence, I will never believe that the tragedy of Bright Moon City was single-handedly led by the demons! The Origin Divine Earth here could also be drained by you!"
Vincent placed his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "I can understand if you maintain a skeptical att.i.tude! But if you say that the Origin Divine Earth here was drained by me, then that would be a little unreasonable! First, when Bright Moon City was destroyed, I had yet to come to the world of the elves. Secondly, I also found Origin Divine Earth in the territories of Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City. But aren"t these two cities still fine? Not only did I not extract Origin Divine Earth there, but I also completely sealed off the path of Andre and Jessica to extract Origin Divine Earth. I"ve made sure that no one would be able to touch the Origin Divine Earth in the future. You can ask the current City Lord of Devil Flame City, Dave, about this. He is the son of Andre. If it was not for the survival of the elves, how could he fight against his own father?"
After listening to Vincent"s explanation, Benjamin still shook his head firmly, "Who knows if you are planning to just use Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City for the time being? I think with your strength, it should not be difficult to find the Origin Divine Earth right?
Vincent nodded and admitted frankly that he indeed had the ability to find Origin Divine Earth under Devil Flame City. He then replied, "I can also tell everyone that not only did I find Origin Divine Earth, but I have also gained a lot of benefits because of it. But that was an unintentional offense. Instead of using Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City, I can just go to the cities under the control of the apostles and drain the Origin Divine Earth there. This is because I killed all the apostles and have obtained the specific coordinates of where the Origin Divine Earth is located. In fact, I can turn ten cities that have nothing to do with me into wasteland at any time, just like the current Bright Moon City!"
Benjamin frowned and asked in disbelief, "What? All the apostles are collecting Origin Divine Earth? Do you have proof?"
Vincent nodded and said, "Yes! I have already given the specific coordinates of where the apostles are collecting Origin Divine Earth to an elf. He is investigating the crimes of all the apostles personally. As long as he brings back the news, I can bring all of you to any of the coordinates to search for Origin Divine Earth. It is likely that we will also be able to see traces of the apostles stealing the Origin Divine Earth!"
Benjamin had no more reason to doubt at this point. Vincent had proven his point. As long as he waited for some time, there would naturally be individuals who would prove that the twelve apostles had indeed stolen the Origin Divine Earth.
This would directly prove that the individuals who wanted to harm Elf World were the demons who stood behind the twelve apostles. It could not have been Vincent who had just arrived in Elf World!
However, before everything was investigated, Benjamin and the others did not know what kind of relations.h.i.+p they should have with Vincent.
Was he an enemy or was he a friend?
Would they continue to be his prisoners?
Alger finally understood everything and took the initiative to ask, "Then before you find out, what do you want us to do?"
Vincent replied softly, "This is what I am going to tell you next. I have already exposed the crimes of the Demon Race to you. Whether you believe it or not, you have to give me a period of time to verify this matter. So during this period of time, all of you will bring your respective teams back to your main cities. Devil Flame City and Serene Spring City welcome you at any time, but you can not sneak in with your armies again!"
When the Dark Elves heard this, they all fell silent. Vincent"s request was not excessive, but if they agreed, they would be going against Gajero"s oracle. This made them feel extremely conflicted.
However, Alger took the lead and said, "I agree to this condition! Devil Sea City will withdraw its troops temporarily and wait for you to place the evidence in front of us. During this period of time, I will personally go to Devil Flame City to take a look around. Whether or not you harbor any ambitions toward the Elf Race, it will be obvious at first glance in the city that you are in charge of!"
Vincent nodded and said with a smile, "Welcome!"
When the others saw that Alger had already expressed his stance, they all agreed one after another. They decided to compromise with Vincent and reserved their rights to go over to investigate.
Vincent was extremely welcoming toward them.
Vincent said softly to everyone, "Now that we have reached an agreement, then everyone will be free to leave. I will send you all back now!"
At the same time, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A s.p.a.ce door opened behind him in an instant.
Benjamin and the others had gotten used to Vincent"s magical ability. Without waiting for Vincent"s instructions, they walked into the s.p.a.ce tunnel on their own.
Vincent returned to the s.p.a.ce tunnel and led everyone to perform a s.p.a.ce jump. In an instant, they had returned to the outskirts of the Devil Flame City.
"The four City Lords around Devil Flame City can leave now. I will bring the rest of you to Serene Spring City!"
Gilbo and the others took the initiative to leave upon hearing that.
Robin, on the other hand, volunteered to carry Alger, who was heavily injured. They rush toward the direction of Devil Sea City.
Only Benjamin and Mcgee remained in the s.p.a.ce tunnel with Vincent.
As their speed could not match Vincent"s s.p.a.ce jump, they had no choice but to ask Vincent to send them off in order to save time.
After the others left, Vincent snapped his fingers again, and the surrounding scene instantly blurred. When it became clear again, they had arrived outside Serene Spring City.
At that moment, the scene outside Serene Spring City shocked Vincent and Benjamin to the core.
They saw a mighty army gathered at the foot of the Serene Spring City. Countless siege weapons were constantly being transported to the front of the formation. They looked like they were ready to start a war at any time.
On the other hand, the gates of the Serene Spring City were tightly shut. They had no intention of fighting at all.
"These are all my subordinates! It looks like after madam found out that I was kidnapped, she was worried about my safety. That"s why she brought her soldiers to attack Serene Spring City!"
Benjamin exclaimed in shock when he saw that the generals in front of the formation were all his familiar subordinates.
Vincent replied helplessly, "Fortunately, we came back in time. I"ll leave this matter to you to settle. I hope you don"t forget our agreement!"
Benjamin nodded repeatedly and said with lingering fear, "Don"t worry! I will never let madam face such a terrifying opponent like you!"
Vincent nodded and opened the s.p.a.ce door. He let Benjamin and Mcgee out.
A female Dark Elf with a long sword in her hand walked out of the formation. It was the City Lord of Morson City, Winnie!
Winnie raised her head with a gloomy expression. She pointed at the top of the city wall and scolded loudly, "That shameless b*tch in the city, quickly return my man to me! Don"t you have any men in Serene Spring City? You insist on going to my tent to kidnap my husband in the middle of the night, you really don"t know shame!"
City Lord Melissa, who was standing at the top of the city wall, heard the scolding from below and her face turned sour. This was because she was the one who had personally dragged Benjamin into the s.p.a.ce tunnel.
However, Melissa did not expect Winnie, who was lying beside Benjamin, to be the real City Lord!
When facing these two armies, any explanation would be useless. Furthermore, Winnie"s curses had already insulted Melissa"s reputation. She could not bear it and the anger in her heart had overtaken her rationality.
Melissa roared loudly, "How dare you curse at me? I"ll fight you to the death today!"
She pulled out the Devil Dragon"s Spine from her waist, leaped down the city wall, and headed straight for Winnie on the battlefield.
When Winnie saw Melissa rus.h.i.+ng over, she also raised the longsword in her hand in anger.
The war between the two women was about to break out at any moment!
