The apostles who were listening to the whole conversation looked at each other confused, why does lord neoh want to help that human? That was the question everybody had on their mind.
'Of course, it's because he wants to use her as a pawn, what kind of dimwitted subordinates are you ?' Scarlet said
Hmm, that must be the case, Eblis mumbled
Wow lord neoh is so amazing! Arwel shouted
Yael who was dying from jealousy, didn't add anything to the conversation and just walked towards the door, as soon as she was about to open the door it opened on its own and Neoh walked inside the room.
Yael who was shocked by this trembled backwards and was about to fall on the ground.
'Oh hehe, hello lord Neoh it's been a while hehe, to what we owe your arrival ' Yael said trying to hide her worried face like a child who got caught stealing candy.
Other apostles did the same they all hid themselves behind Yael who was in the front, it was a miracle in itself that they could hide those big bodies so easily.
"Since when do I have six spies in my castle instead of six generals, what happened? Who told you that you could spy on my conversation "
The jig was up, they didn't know what to answer or what to do, they were frozen in their place as if they were dead not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
"I guess it's ok, it was my mistake that didn't explain my thoughts to you beforehand, I was listening to your conversation and Scarlet is right about my intentions, I appreciate all of you more than you could ever imagine, and so don't you ever compare yourself with some random I just met "
'No my lord it was our stupid mistake, don't blame yourself for something we did ' Then Yael took her sword out of its sheath and turned the handle around towards neoh
'Please, my lord please behead this traitor who betrayed your trust'
Then she grabbed her hair and presented her neck to neoh
"Oh come on, don't be silly now" Then Neoh went on one knee and hugged her
"I would never do that to you "
She couldn't hold herself back anymore and started crying, with that all of them like a class of toddlers started crying at the same time
'For this lowly servant to betray you and then receive such love from you, I don't deserve this my lord, hik hik ' she said as she wiped her tears
"You deserve every ounce of it, all of you deserve my praise you have been working hard while I did nothing but sit on my throne for thousands of years without talking to you, now stop crying what kind of general cry like that "
With that, all of the apostles took hold of themselves and bowed to neoh to show their respect.
"Now if you excuse me tomorrow, I have Some evidence to fabricate so I need to get a good night's sleep, when I come back we can all have dinner together how about that ?"
Yes my lord we can't wait for your return!
They shouted in unison.
When neoh finally left the room he suddenly heard a loud scream from inside the room belonging to a lady, but noway one of them could produce such a crude sound, so he didn't think much of it.
Tomorrow morning, he teleported to Sylvia's room, when he got there Sylvia was asleep so he tried to wake her up.
"Hello, lady Sylvia?"
As soon as Sylvia heard his voice she jumped and hit her head to the top of the bed.
'Oh, who is it please don't kill me I'm just a peasant I have no affiliation with the king '
"I'm not here to kill you lady Sylvia I'm here because I promised to help you fabricate some evidence about the orc battle remember?"
'Oh, Lord neoh I'm sorry for being rude, give me a minute, I'll get ready as soon as possible'
"Here are your items, I personally got them from master artisan, I'll be waiting outside the room"
Then, he left the room
After she was dressed in her normal armor, The repair was so good the armor felt like it was a new set of armor,
Neoh was waiting for her outside, when she came out, Neoh opened a portal and they entered it to get to the battlefield.
As soon as the familiar scene came into sight, Sylvia's heart started, and corpses were lying on the ground in various stages of decomposition belonging to orcs and Sylvia's soldiers.
"Hmmm, we can work with this"
'What do you mean Lord neoh?'
"Ah, don't worry about I just need to make it so it's believable"
Neoh started emanating a considerable amount of magic energy and then his eyes started shining brightly, suddenly the damaged body of the orcs and dire wolfs started reassembling and fixing itself, and just in front of Sylvia's eyes, Neoh performed a resurrection.
Sylvia was at a loss for words, she was about to faint but neoh used some kind of magic that Sylvia was not familiar with, to keep her on her feet.
Lion's heart was the name of the spell Leon had just used on her it was mostly used to calm down a certain individual when they are about to break, a very handy spell to have especially when dealing with average humans, their capacity for seeing the supernatural can be tricky sometimes.
When the orcs and wolfs came back to life neoh used the same old sleeping spell and then lifted all the swords present on the battlefield and lunged them towards them, killing them again in the process.
'What are you doing my lord Didn't you just resurrect them?'
"Don't worry, these orcs died by Yael's magic causing their upper body to evaporate, I'm just trying to make it so they have sword wounds on them so when you take back their corpses as a trophy is believable "
'I guess. s .s that's reasonable '
Sylvia was shivering even though she was under the influence of the lion's heart, she couldn't stop but think about what kind of being just resurrected monsters and then killed them with the sole purpose of fabricating some evidence.
"I guess we are done here, I just need to lift the sleeping spell from your soldiers and we are good to go "
'What about my fallen comrades can you bring them back to life please I would give you anything I have'
Sylvia was on the verge of bursting into tears as she was saying that
"Well that's a tricky favor to ask of me, you see monsters and orcs have something we call dim souls or damp souls, it basically means that their soul is smaller and shines much less than a human or elven soul bringing back those souls from the underworld is easy, they have no deep emotional attachment to anything, I don't want to delve too deep into this topic but in short it's much harder to resurrect a human than an orc"
'So you can't do it ?'
"There is nothing that I can't do"
'So please lord I beg you please give them another shot at life'
"There is one small problem here, these people died a hero's death, for any human to be resurrected, they should have the desire to live once more forcefully forcing a soul back into his body causes the person to become violent and show signs of corruption and that's how undead are made, I'm gonna try but I'm not sure if these people want to let go of their place in heaven and come back to live in this world "
Then he started to exert immense magical power and the corpses belonging to the fallen soldiers shone brightly and were lifted from the ground after an hour they fell back to the ground and Neoh let out a deep sigh
"Ah, it seems like these people are happy being dead, if you want I can steal their souls from heaven and force them into these vessels?"
'No, my lord you have done enough I'm sorry for sticking my nose into something I have no knowledge about'
"That settles it then, let's begin the show I'm gonna Cast a spell so your soldiers can't see me, so you are the only one that sees me remember that, and then they will probably run towards you and celebrate their victory, so be natural, acting is the most important part of this whole plan"
Then he released the five remaining soldiers of Sylvia from under the influence of his spell and they woke back up.
Ah, where are we? What happened? I remember I was fighting an orc and then Oh!
Lady Sylvia saved us right ? where is she?
She is over there, one of them replied
Then all of them ran towards their savior
To greet her.
They are coming here, it is just as Neoh predicted, wait what if he can see the future ?, that's terrifying what have I got myself into? She asked herself .
