The Demons' attack on the main city had ended, but the result wasn't as good as Li Huailin had imagined. The battle had ended in the afternoon, but the post-battle work continued for a long time. Li Huailin was about to log off at night, but the post-battle work was still ongoing.
"What's going on? Why isn't it over yet? " Li Huailin couldn't wait any longer. Previously, he had been able to explore the Demon race's main city. After all, this was a place that Light Faction players normally wouldn't visit. However, after a short while, Li Huailin grew tired of looking around. Meanwhile, the post-battle work still hadn't been completed. This had already taken longer than the battle itself.
"Your Highness, we've taken control of the North, West, and South Gates. However, we can't take control of the East Gate because the gate and walls have been destroyed. We don't have enough manpower," Maxim replied.
"Based on our preliminary statistics, we've lost around 4,000 to 5,000 soldiers in this battle," Liuk said. Liu Ke said, but he didn't mention that most of the soldiers were killed by their own people. In other words, they were shot to death by Argos. Of course, because this thing belonged to Li Huailin, it was hard to say.
Now, the troops of the undead were really not enough. The main city of the Demon Race was such a big city, but there were only ten thousand undead in the army, which couldn't even fill the roads. They had to be divided into groups. Some of them occupied the city gates to prevent the people inside from running out with gold and silver treasures, some of them had to suppress the civilians in the city, some of them had to look for people in the imperial palace, and some of them had to chase the fleeing devil army in batches.
Li Huailin thought for a while and roughly understood the current situation. He nodded and asked, "What about the Royalty?"
"We've captured a lot of people who are similar to the Royalty and dug out a few of them. We've also captured a few who are willing to surrender. We're now identifying them one by one," Liuk reported.
"Did you capture Bayzera?" Li Huailin asked.
"We haven't received any reports yet," Maxim said. Maxim said, "However, we caught the First Prince of the Demon Race, who is also the current Crown Prince."
"Oh? Where is he? "Li Huailin asked. This was an important person.
"Your Highness, you don't remember? He's the kid you first dug out from the palace. The guys who surrendered immediately recognized him as the current Crown Prince of the Demons, Marwayne," Maxim said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin nodded. "Where is he? He's still alive, right? "
"Yes, he was rescued. He was slightly injured, but it's not a big problem. He should be awake now," Maksim said. "Your Highness wants to see him?"
"No, not for now." Li Huailin said, "First of all, you should fix the Transmission Formation here. Then, let Soudeis and Matthew teleport here. Also, bring some people with you. We'll finish it tonight."
The Demons' main city already had a teleportation array, and it was of the highest scale. Moreover, it was connected to the Undead's teleportation array, so it shouldn't be a problem to send some people over.
"Yes." Both of them nodded their heads.
"Search through the night and strengthen the lockdown of all the city gates. No one is allowed to leave the city without my order. Otherwise, kill them immediately. Pay special attention to the east. Send people to patrol through the night. Don't let anyone out, "Li Huailin said." The most important person is Baizera. Keep a close eye on him. "
"Yes, Your Highness."
"I'm going to rest now. You guys have to work hard tonight. Keep watch for me. I hope to hear good news tomorrow," Li Huailin said.
"Your Highness, please have a good rest," the three Lords said at the same time.
"Alright." Li Huailin nodded. It was getting late, so Li Huailin went offline. It was a tiring day, so Li Huailin cleaned up a little and went to rest. The next morning, Li Huailin went online on time. Of course, he appeared at the entrance of the Demons' palace. As soon as he went online, he heard a group of people next to him.
Li Huailin turned around and saw a group of people surrounding the entrance of the palace. Among them, there were a few familiar faces. They were Soudeis and Matthew, whom Li Huailin had been looking for yesterday. There were also a few officials who looked like they had seen in the Undead. They were leading a group of soldiers, and the soldiers were dragging two Demons who were tied up and had wounds on their faces towards the palace.
"Soudeis." Li Huailin immediately went up to greet him.
"Your Highness." The two Lords immediately saw Li Huailin. They immediately came over and knelt down. Then, they raised their hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, for successfully taking over the Demons' capital."
"His Highness must have been possessed by a god. It only took him one day to take down such a strong city. Who else can stop the Undead?" Matthew was also very excited today. "That's right.
"Oh, we'll talk about the flattery later." Li Huailin waved his hand, then pointed to the two Demons' prisoners and asked, "What's the situation here?"
"Your Highness, I have bad news to report," said Soudeis. Sudaisi said, "After one night's interrogation, we got a bad news, namely, there's a secret tunnel in the demon's imperial palace …"
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. "There's such a thing?"
"Yes, this is something that only the Royal Family knows. We haven't caught many members of the Royal Family yet. These two are the servants of the Crown Prince, who is in charge of the Demons' daily life. They accidentally heard the Crown Prince mention this matter, so I brought them here to find …"
"I don't know the location of the secret passage. I really don't know …" The NPC Demons, who was beaten to death, immediately shouted. "I really only heard about it. I really don't know where the secret passage is."
"Shut up!" The Undead soldier next to him immediately punched him, knocking out a few of his teeth. The NPC Demons' eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Your Highness, this … I think Bayzera …" Matthew, who was next to him, said.
"Yes, yes. It seems like we're in trouble." Li Huailin scratched his head and said, "It's already been a night. If they really escaped through the secret passage, we won't be able to catch up at all. There's no need to waste our energy looking for them."
"Yes," the two answered at the same time.
"How's the situation here?" Li Huailin asked.
"The teleportation circle has been repaired. Our people are slowly coming over. Your Highness, I also temporarily requisitioned the Magic Crystals in the Demons' treasury. Otherwise …"
"I know." Li Huailin waved his hand and interrupted. "How many people are coming?"
"About 2,000," Soudeis replied.
"So few people?" Li Huailin said. "It's still not enough."
"Yes, we're short on manpower. Even now, we haven't finished dealing with the aftermath. We're only investigating the situation in the palace. The civilians are just keeping them in their homes and not letting them out. We haven't started dealing with them yet. " Soudeis said, "Your Highness, according to this speed, we'll need a few more days to finish everything."
"The human army is almost here," Li Huailin said. "According to the previous news, they'll be here the day after tomorrow. If they receive the news here, they'll probably speed up. So before they arrive, we must try to collect as many valuable things as possible. There should be a lot of Demons left."
"Yes, Your Highness." Soudeis laughed at the mention of this. The Demons really had a lot of inventory. "But Your Highness, we found a treasure vault under the Demons' palace. It's probably the most important treasures of the Demons, but … we can't get in. We don't have the key, and there's a powerful magic circle on it. We can't open it by force. I guess only Beyzera knows how to open it."
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. "No matter what, let's collect the valuable things first. As for the rest, we'll wait for the human army to arrive the day after tomorrow," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Highness," the two of them replied at the same time.
"In two days, we'll have a peace negotiation with the humans to officially end this war. You guys should prepare for this too," Li Huailin said.
"Your Highness, what identity will you use to participate in the peace negotiation?" Soudeis asked.
"I … I'll use my human identity to participate." Li Huailin thought for a moment before saying, "You guys can draft the specific terms and conditions first. Then, let me have a look. I'll think about it."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Huailin hadn't thought about the terms of the treaty yet. Most importantly, they hadn't caught the Emperor of the Demons, Beyzera. This was a little troublesome. According to their original plan, they could force Beyzera to sign the treaty once they caught him. Now that he had run away, it would be a big problem for them to decide who would sign the treaty.
As Li Huailin was deep in thought, a sudden gust of wind blew past. Li Huailin turned around and saw a huge white figure suddenly landing beside Li Huailin.
"Nojorda, what's up?" Li Huailin turned around and asked. Of course, the one who landed was Li Huailin's skeletal dragon, Nojorda.
"It's not that I'm looking for you, but have you forgotten something?" Nojorda said, "Do you remember what I told you two days ago about bringing a message to the Dragon Clan's gathering? Tomorrow is the day of the gathering. Almost all the dragons will arrive today. Now that the battle here has ended, shouldn't you set off? "
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. He had forgotten about it. "I have to arrive earlier? That's fine, I have nothing to do anyway. Where is the meeting place? "
