Chapter 280 Peace Council
Helena's betrayal makes no sense.

No one was saved because of her, even if she herself believed in her flawed righteousness, Roland would never believe half of it.

Why won't the opponent continue to attack if he stops resisting?Do you think that the other party did not kill anyone and still maintained his sanity amidst the successive massacres?To take a step back, in order to win and gain living space for Elkart, so what if he goes crazy?
What do you think the soldiers are fighting for?Why are they on the front line if they are only fighting for their lives?

From the very beginning, they embarked on this dead end with the determination not to return to their hometown.They all clearly understand that on the battlefield, personal bravery is almost useless, and the only thing that can keep them alive is good luck.

In other words, they were prepared to die from the very beginning.

From the beginning, they risked their lives to fight with the idea of ​​at least letting the next generation survive, and with the will to continue their own civilization and their country.

And Helena's betrayal, on the surface, ended the war, but in fact it made the deaths of the soldiers who had already sacrificed meaningless, and made the heroes who were executed and liquidated later called sinners.

However, Helena has at least one sentence that Roland agrees with——

"If war is unavoidable, let's end everything in the shortest possible time... A war requires two parties to participate in order to become a war. It makes sense."

Roland read this sentence softly, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, revealing a pleasant smile.

"—Then, we just need to eliminate the source of the war."

"Physical destruction is the simplest. Military and fire dealers who provoke wars, nobles who encourage rulers to launch aggression, Avengers who lose control... isn't that what the Peace Council does. And the results are remarkable."

"Everything is that simple. As long as the source of the war is cut off, or the weaker side is directly resolved, or the country is in a stalemate war, the war is over."

It seems that the formation of a peace parliament is still necessary.

Not for the boring and troublesome thing of adjudicating wars.Roland is worried that someone will establish such an organization one day in the future, and then Roland will be judged as a party that can be sacrificed, and will cause some trouble to Roland as a third party that breaks the balance.

And if the Peace Council is formed together with Roland's own sect, Roland can use the more exposed Peace Council as a cover to hide his other trump card.

To take a step back, it is better to have peace, this highly inflammatory power, in your own hands.

As for the fact that the Peace Council might become a stumbling block for him in the future, Roland didn't take it to heart at all.

As long as he becomes stronger and stronger and becomes the strongest party in a chaotic world, the Peace Council will not only not hinder Roland's rule, but will become a tool for him to maintain his rule.

Hearing the sound of gnawing and swallowing suddenly sounded behind him, Roland only paused slightly, but did not turn his head.

"Eat, eat... eat more, become stronger..."

As if he heard Roland's whisper, the sound of crunching bones behind him became clearer and louder.

As the wailing behind him gradually weakened, a large message quickly appeared in front of Roland:
[Elucard killed Saint Helena the Pityer under your command, and you received command sharing experience of 3211]

[You get the characteristic Execution Hand (personal characteristic)]

[You got characteristic heresy (personal characteristic)]

Expected.

Roland subconsciously turned off the combat prompt.

Although these two characteristics are quite rare, they cannot attract Roland's attention too much.

One of them is obtained by dividing the betrayer with capital punishment, and the other is for committing the unforgivable crime of blasphemy.And Roland asked Elka to eat one more saint, so these two are naturally full.

Because these two should have been obtained, Roland was a little disappointed.

He originally wanted to use the characteristics of "The Great Enemy of God" or "The Paradox" as a blasphemy talisman...

Just when Roland thought of this, a new battle prompt popped up:

[Scott killed the gazer Saier under your command, and you got 7421 command share experience]

[You killed the son of N'Zoth, you will be listed as a mortal enemy by the Society of Truth]

[You got the attribute God’s Enemy (personal attribute)]

[The cornerstone resonance occurs, the cornerstone element that can be absorbed is detected, and the soul is being extracted... You have successfully collected the cornerstone element "Tending to Chaos"]

[Whether to absorb new cornerstone elements immediately]

"no."

When Roland saw the description of the cornerstone element, he chose no without hesitation.

Although he unexpectedly discovered that Purcell actually had a cornerstone element that was the same as his own, Roland did not immediately absorb the new cornerstone element.After all, unlike "clean", the new cornerstone elements are obviously not good.If he absorbed it like this, Roland estimated that there was an [-]% chance that he would go berserk.

Especially now is the critical period for changing jobs and suing Crow, Roland will not easily let the situation get out of his control.

After Roland has the experience of rushing directly to the golden rank, he will consider absorbing the cornerstone elements before upgrading.In case his consciousness is affected, Roland can use the complete dispelling effect when he ascends to erase his bad state.

Now that Sale and Helena have died one after another, Roland, as the only commander, has gained a lot of experience.The experience in the experience pool broke through the [-] mark again.

In the same way, these experiences still cannot be easily used.

As for the characteristic of "The Great Enemy of God", it was indeed a surprise.

To get this feature, you must be listed as a deadly enemy by at least one god and be actually cursed.And this is easier said than done.

At most, the gods will live until the later stage of the plague revival, and after that, this feature will be equivalent to out-of-print.

Helena herself is a traitor, even if she is as gentle as Coni, the goddess of life, she will not have much sympathy for her.Roland asked Elucard to devour her directly without offending Coni.

However, Purcell's death made Enzos choose Roland as the target of revenge, which was beyond Roland's expectation.

In the beginning, in order to prevent N'Zoth from going crazy and retaliate against himself regardless of the cost, Roland had deliberately avoided touching Sale.

After all, compared to N'Zoth, who went crazy from time to time and had no way of knowing what he was thinking, Keni's rage wouldn't have much effect on Roland.

Inadvertently inserting willows and willows into shades——As a result, Roland finally got the characteristic of "The Great Enemy of God" from En'Zoth.The next thing Roland had to face was wave after wave of harassment and assassination by all-pervasive rats.

But Roland had nothing to fear.Unlike the followers of the God of Darkness, the fighting power of those rats could not cause much trouble to Roland.

In particular, with this characteristic, Roland gained the ability to create blasphemous items.

Whether it is the chronic poison profane blood that can temporarily reduce the priest's level, or the profane talisman that can reduce the damage of divine spells, Roland can restrain them until death.

However, now is not the time to talk about those things.

The initial trial was coming to an end, and later, when it was dragged into a formal battle, the White Tower had no time to execute Roland.

In other words, it was time for Roland to return to the basement and wait for his own execution.

Up to now, the Nest of Plague that has been operating has basically completed the analysis of Edward's Twilight Blood.Although I don't know why Edward gave up his resistance completely and let Roland devour his body without any hindrance, but in this case, the plague that Roland prepared to configure is more than half successful.

"Ester...the rest of this depends on you."
