Chapter 679 Dishonor

Chapter 679 Dishonor

Their meeting was interrupted by the sound of explosions in the distance, and then war horns. Fallen Crusade war horns.

Wolfe gave the negotiation team a disgusted look, then moved his hand to slot his only remaining magazine into the rifle, then rested his arm against the weapon. "It looks like the Fallen Crusade doesn't negotiate in good faith." He sighed.

"With a Demon King and a relic from a dead species? Never. Our holy mission is to eliminate the monsters that had our Divine Lord cast down from the heavens and regain our wings as the Angelic Army of the Divine." The Archbishop declared. Wolfe felt the atmosphere shift as the King adjusted the radius of the protective spells to have [Kind Intentions] and the Palace's defensive barrier encompass them, but stop in the middle of the table. "So, you are the sacrificial lambs that were left to the slaughter while your armies surrounded the Castle? Or should there be someone here to save you by now?" The Demon King asked. "What makes you think that we need to be saved? We are the righteous light of the Divine One, we are protected by our God's power. All will tremble before our power!" The Archbishop declared. Wolfe felt [Kind Intentions] retract a little as the King grabbed the rifle from him and fired a single round through the ranting Cleric's head.

The explosion of [Cluster grenades] from the bullet caught everyone but Wolfe off guard. Though the King's defensive magic was in no danger, the General wasn't so lucky, and he was tossed like a rag doll, flipping through the air as his armour spell collapsed and the rapid series of explosions crushed his bones. Shockingly, the General was still alive after the attack, thanks to the constitution of a Saint, despite the lower level of the defensive spell that he was using. However, he was in no condition to do much of anything with most of the bones in his body broken, and a Demon King standing over him. "Armies, begin the assault. The Fallen have dishonoured the flag of parlay and have lost all rights to mercy." The King announced.

Normally, such a thing would be mounted to a vehicle, but it should be fine with her size and power. The three of them headed for the central areas, where the lower level staff would be waiting for the battle to end if they weren't actively doing their duties. There was a barrier over the Palace, but you could never know when that was going to be breached by a sudden attack, and it was safer to stay well away from the actual fighting if you didn't have to be there. "Miss, would you kindly lead me to somewhere that lower level staff have gathered, I have a proposal for you, approved by the King himself?" Wolfe requested of the first Maid that he saw.

"Of course, Patriarch. Whatever you need, if we can do it, we will be glad to help." The Maid replied with a professional smile.

That professionalism was about to be put to the test once Wolfe made his proposal, but as she led him to the sitting room for off-duty staff, she was the image of a proper staff member.
