Chapter 510: The War Between Gods and Demons

Viscount Kemil had long expected the opposition of the many noble families.

There was no one who understood the nature of the noble families better than the noble families themselves.

It was nothing more than two words.

Profits.

The reason why these noble families were unwilling to “expose” the strength of Baron Kant’s subordinates with Viscount Kemil was because they did not have any concrete evidence that Baron Kant was sided with demons.

They were afraid of Baron Kant’s revenge in the future.

However, if they were given a bit of “evidence”, driven by greed and profit, these noble families would probably take the initiative to “expose” Baron Kant’s sins even more than Viscount Kemil.

No matter how powerful Baron Kant was, how could he resist the strength of all the human kingdoms and dukedoms’ sects.

Viscount Kemil had long been prepared.

Although he had prepared a lie, in Viscount Kemil’s opinion, Baron Kant’s unreasonable rapid increase in strength could only come from a demon that could quickly bestow power to believers. There was no other possibility.

Viscount Kemil believed that after his reminder, all the noble families present had such thoughts, deep or shallow.

When all the noble families had verbally condemned Viscount Kemil and calmed down, they waited for Viscount Kemil to give them an explanation.

Viscount Kemil did not speak immediately. He waited for a period of time.

Time would cause things to change, including people’s thoughts.

Just as Viscount Kemil had expected, the reason why these noble families opposed him was because they had deduced the most serious consequences at the first moment. And that kind of consequences would greatly harm their interests.

Now, these noble families had quieted down. Instead, they could not help but think about the words of Viscount Kemil. They suddenly felt that the words of Viscount Kemil might be the truth of the matter. Regardless of whether they “exposed” Baron Kant, whether it was slander or defamation, if the sects really discovered the power of the devil in Baron Kant’s strength, then they did not need to care about Baron Kant’s revenge.

By then, Baron Kant would not have the energy to care about them and might even be destroyed very quickly.

When the noble families thought about problems, they would always start from the interests.

Viscount Kemil’s words did not pose a pure threat to the noble families present. There was an even more alluring temptation of interests.

Many of the noble families immediately began to waver, showing signs of struggling. It seemed to Viscount Kemil that the time had come.

Perhaps he did not need to use his last resort — to force the noble families to be on the same boat as him.

Viscount Kemil said in a deep voice, “I have evidence!”

As soon as Viscount Kemil said this, the eyes of the noble families in the South County were filled with anticipation.

If they really had evidence, they did not need to worry about Baron Kant’s revenge.

“What evidence?”

“Is it reliable?”

Immediately, some of the nobles asked.

It seemed that their attitude had indeed changed greatly compared to before.

Viscount Kemil revealed a confident smile on his face and said slowly, “I wonder if any of you have ever read the literature about the ancient was of demons and gods?”

Viscount Kemil asked this question, but he was sure that the noble families of the South County had read the literature on the ancient war of gods and demons. It was extremely rare, to the point that not even one of them had read it.

After all, these nobles were all small and medium-sized noble families of the South County. They did not have a deep background, so it was difficult for them to access such precious information.

These were the prerequisites for Viscount Kemil to weave a lie and successfully deceive these noble families.

Hearing Viscount Kemil’s question, most of the nobles were at a loss. They might not even know that a world-shaking war between gods and demons had once happened in this world.

The South County was a prosperous plain. There were very few cases of demonized creatures wreaking havoc in there. If they were not frequently threatened by demonized creatures, who would pay attention to the gods and demons that were related to them?

At this moment, a noble asked, “The ancient war between gods and demons? Did such a terrible thing happen in our world?”

They could not be blamed for their ignorance. After all, that was tens of thousands of years ago.

What could withstand the erosion of time and never fade?

Even the gods and demons known as immortals would not receive much attention after they lost their position as the rulers of the world. They fell, were suppressed, and buried in some corner of the world, or some ruins for tens of thousands of years. Those who would specially study these things were only scholars who specialized in this field.

After that noble asked the question, the other nobles also expressed their doubts.

“I’ve never heard of any war between gods and devils. However, there are times when some devils would appear in a kingdom or dukedom to wreak havoc. At such times, the various kingdoms and dukedom sects would send out powerful troops to wipe out the demons and the forces they developed.”

“That’s right. On the continent, the last time the demons wreaked havoc was over a hundred years ago when they worshipped the demons. If it wasn’t for the other kingdoms and dukedom’s sects sending out troops to support them, I’m afraid our Dukedom of Leo would have been in danger of being exterminated.”

“What you said isn’t right. The last time should have been Viscount Gibran’s Crimson Sect. When Viscount Gibran was exposed, it was obvious that he knew that his death was near. He had once crazily wanted to take revenge on Baron Kant. However, he did not expect that Baron Kant’s strength far exceeded his imagination. Before the sect’s army arrived, Baron Kant had already destroyed him and the Crimson Sect.”

“The things we know about the gods and demons are only a few scattered calamities of the demons. I heard that they are the enemies of the gods. However, I have never heard of an ancient war between gods and demons, much less read about it.”

The nobles of the South County were talking about it, but as Viscount Kemil had expected, no one had read about the war between the ancient gods and demons.

If that was the case, even if Viscount Kemil made up a demon, they would not be able to determine whether it really existed.

Viscount Kemil said, “I once read in the literature about the war between the ancient gods and demons that a demon army named Swadia had a small-scale battle with the god’s descendants of the ancient gods.”

This sentence was only briefly mentioned in the literature related to the war of gods and demons.

“Because the location of this small battle back then was within the territory of the Dukedom of Leo, I noticed it and had a very deep impression of it.”

“But even so, if I hadn’t received the news from the spies, I might not have been able to remember this matter.”

Seeing that many of the noble families were listening attentively, Viscount Kemil’s eyes flashed with anticipation.
