Who taught him to restore the country like this?

"Let me tell you what kind of predicament the Kingdom of Orrantia is facing now," Ron put down his teacup and his expression became a little serious.

"First, there's the Divine Purification Formation that you've fought so hard to protect. Its core is the Magic Stone, which can absorb and connect with human spiritual power. The terrifying thing is that once the Divine Purification Formation is activated, the Magic Stones in each fortress will be linked together through the spiritual power along the way, forming a chain Divine Purification Formation that covers the entire Kingdom of Orrantia!"

"Princess Kalina's original intention was to use the chain formation to kill all the demons in the kingdom." Lawrence defended Princess Kalina's reputation. He had learned from Celia that Princess Kalina had not betrayed the Kingdom of Orrantia.

"Yes, her original intention was to kill the demons, but she didn't know that the Source Stone she nurtured with her body was specially delivered to her by the great demon Lilith through the Bruviman Empire." Ron said lightly.

"What did you say?"

Lawrence stood up and said in astonishment, "The Suyuan Stone was sent to Her Highness Kylena by the demons? Why would they do that?"

"That's of course to let Princess Karina, who has the blood of the Saint, nurture the Source Stone for her. It would be best if she could use it to set up a formation. This way, she can use the spiritual imprint of the Source Stone to control the magic stones born from it and cast an eternal illusion covering the entire Kingdom of Orrantia." Ron said.

Lawrence was stunned.

At this moment, he finally understood why the eternal illusion of the great demon Lilith appeared in the Divine Purification Array.

It turned out that they had fallen into the trap of the demons from the very beginning. All the efforts they had made during this period, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, were only helping the demons.

Lawrence sat dejectedly in his chair, unable to accept this cruel truth.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Speak out sooner?"

Ron chuckled: "Would you believe it if I told you?"

He proved with his actions that there was something wrong with the Divine Purification Formation, and he was imprisoned for an entire afternoon, let alone making empty statements without any evidence.

The great demon Lilith disguised herself so well that she even risked serious injury to confuse the Kingdom of Orrantia.

The demons were even determined to destroy the divine purification formation and were willing to risk their own annihilation to break into the Kingdom of Orrantia.

Who would suspect that there was something wrong with the Divine Purification Formation?

If Ron showed up at this time and said there was something wrong with the Divine Purification Formation, he might be treated as a spy from the demon clan and executed.

Lawrence was silent.

Ron glanced at Keltia. Seeing she had no doubts, he continued, "The Great Demon Lilith's Eternal Illusion is a composite of high-level spiritual magic and space-time magic. By distorting the victim's cognitive dimension, it constructs a self-consistent logical closed loop within their consciousness."

"In layman's terms, it can extract a person's mind into a spiritual space similar to the real world. Before the mind returns to the body, the person will not be able to detect that their mind is in an out-of-body state."

"If nothing unexpected happens, now everyone in the Kingdom of Orrantia, except Cassel, has had their spirits extracted into the spiritual space."

"And the great demon Lilith can manipulate the flow of time in the spiritual realm. If it targets an individual, it can take as little as one minute or as long as ten minutes to make a person perceive themselves as aging and dying."

"Now, she's using the Divine Purification Formation to pull nearly four million people from the Kingdom of Orrantia into the spiritual realm. She doesn't need to do anything but wait quietly for two weeks, or at most two and a half weeks, for these four million people to die of 'aging.'"

The immortal species is another matter.

Ron finished speaking, picked up the teacup, and took a sip to moisten his throat.

At the head table, Lawrence dropped the silver spoon in his hand with a clang, a sharp echo in the silent study. His knuckles were white from gripping the armrest so tightly, and his Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed. "Four million... for two weeks?"

This news hit him like a hammer on the temple - the Kingdom of Orrantia, which had accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, would turn into dry bones in just half a month?

"The Holy See of Light must be notified immediately!" Celtia stood up and said seriously.

She was used to the cruelty on the battlefield, but there was a hint of panic in her voice.

After all, it concerns the lives of four million people, and no one can remain calm.

"Yes," Lawrence cheered up. "Kassel is not covered by the Eternal Illusion. We can still save the Kingdom of Orrantia. As long as we go south into the Emerald Kingdom and take a detour to the Bruviman Empire, we can..."

"So what?" Ron interrupted Lawrence and sneered, "Ask for help? Wasn't what I just said clear enough?"

"The Source Stone was handed over to Princess Karina by the Demon Clan through the Bruviman Empire. Could it be that the Bruviman Empire is also involved in the Demon Clan's plan this time?" Keltiah asked, her beautiful brows already furrowed.

"Of course he has a share, and you should think of a way to deal with him first rather than dealing with the great demon Lilith." Ron said.

"why?"

"Remember those war slaves? They were created by the Bruviman Empire. There are many people in the Kingdom of Orantia who are in the same situation as those children. The moment they are completely transformed into war slaves, their spiritual power will be pulled back and imprisoned by the shackles of slavery, turning them into puppets that can move within the coverage of the Divine Purification Formation."

"And these war slaves have only one order in their minds," Ron said in a deep voice, "and that is to kill all the people and demons in the Kingdom of Orrantia!"

As soon as these words came out.

A layer of goose bumps involuntarily appeared on Keltiia's arms.

"Beasts! The Bruviman Empire is simply a bunch of beasts!"

Lawrence cursed loudly, his body trembling uncontrollably, his nails digging deep into his palms, as if he could feel the chill of his bones through his skin.

Ron continued, "When there is no life left in the Kingdom of Orantia, the Divine Purification Formation will naturally fall without a fight. Then the Bruviman Empire will take over the territory of the Kingdom of Orantia under the pretext of protecting humanity."

Chapter 44 Negotiating the Terms

"The Kingdom of Orantia has defended the human race against the demons for hundreds of years. How dare the Bruviman Empire do the same?"

Lawrence's eyes were bloodshot and anger was burning in his chest.

He was not surprised that the Bruviman Empire had ideas about the Kingdom of Orrantia.

But he had never thought that the Bruviman Empire would collude with the demons in order to invade the Kingdom of Orrantia, intending to kill everyone in the Kingdom of Orrantia.

Is this still a human being?

This is clearly a beast more brutal than the demons!

"Lady Celtia, please expose the Bruviman Empire's evil ambitions to the Glorious Church." Lawrence demanded justice from Celtia.

"I will explain this to the Holy See of Light," said Celia.

As the ultimate winner of the Second War of the Kingdoms of God, the Bruviman Empire is undoubtedly powerful, but if it really dares to do such a cruel thing, the Glorious Church will be the first one to not forgive it.

"I advise you to save your energy." Ron's untimely voice came.

Celia and Lawrence's gazes shifted to him simultaneously.

"You want to report something that hasn't happened yet. Do you have evidence? Can it solve the problem?"

Ron leaned halfway on the armrest, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table. He said, "What you're doing won't ease the tension in the slightest. It will only alert the enemy, making them wary and making them act more decisively."

Seeing Ron's comments as if he were an outsider, Lawrence couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "So are we just going to do nothing and just sit there and wait for death?"

What's the point of reporting it after it happens?

"Besides informing the Broviman Empire, there are many things you can do." Ron said calmly.

"What else can I do besides asking for help?" Lawrence smiled sadly in his heart.

The entire Kingdom of Orrantia has fallen. What can his small earldom do?

"Who are you going to ask for help?" Ron asked.

This question silenced Lawrence again.

The Kingdom of Orrantia is located in the southern hinterland of the continent. To the upper right is the sea and the demons, to the left is the Bruviman Empire, and below are the Emerald Kingdom and the Rah Kingdom.

Asking for help from the Bruwiman Empire? They'd be more interested in killing you.

Asking for help from the Emerald Kingdom? The Emerald Kingdom is in the midst of a chaotic war, struggling to protect itself, so how could it have the time to support you?

Then they can only bypass the territories of the Emerald Kingdom and the Bruviman Empire and go north to seek help.

Just think of it as asking for support. Putting aside whether the Bruviman Empire and the Emerald Kingdom will allow the reinforcements to pass through their territory, how long will it take to go back and forth?

By the time they return with reinforcements, the seventh day of the mourning period in the Kingdom of Orrantia may have already passed.

Seeing that Lawrence had figured it out, Ron said slowly, "It's better to save yourself than to ask for help."

"Then why don't you tell me how to save yourself? Don't just talk big." Lawrence said angrily.

Which one, the great demon Lilith or the Bruviman Empire, can a small earl like him deal with?

"Since you don't trust me, I won't participate in your discussion. Goodbye."

Ron stood up and shook his head with a disappointed look on his face.

"Wait." Celia called Ron.

Having dealt with him twice, she knew Ron's character very well.

Normally, when Ron showed this expression, he must have something evil in mind.

But it comes with good medicine.

She asked, "Do you have a way to save the Kingdom of Orrantia?"

Ron stopped and shook his head, "It's difficult."

Lawrence scoffed.

Don’t even think about who destroyed the country of Lah.

This kind of rubbish can't even handle ordinary problems, let alone the hellish problems faced by the Kingdom of Orrantia.

"It's a bit difficult to dismantle the Divine Purification Chain Array within a week, but it should be possible within two weeks." Ron said.

He looked at Celia with a hint of apology on his face, as if he was regretting his lack of talent.

Keltia: “…”

Oh no, he’s got it.

But this bastard does have a way to solve the problems of the Kingdom of Orrantia.

She opened her mouth and was about to ask Ron what the solution was when she saw a figure running past.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Ron," Lawrence supported Ron's hand with a flattering smile on his face. "I was a little loud just now. I hope you don't mind."

He led Ron to the main seat and poured him a cup of tea himself.

Ron picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, I understand your concern for the country."

"Your Majesty Ron is truly magnanimous. With a king like you, I believe the Kingdom of Rah will soon prosper again." Lawrence said.

Keltia: “…”

She still liked the rebellious look of Earl Lawrence just now.

"Your Majesty Ron, what should I do to resolve the crisis facing the Kingdom of Orrantia?" Lawrence asked respectfully.

"What you have to do is simple." Ron put down his teacup.
