Within the borders of the Kingdom of Tinstall, a huge army of the undead was moving rapidly. This was, of course, Li Huailin's army that was rushing back to the Demons' side. However, the number of the army was smaller than when they first arrived.
"Your Majesty, are we not going to wait for Fiona and Cojamil's troops to join us?" Soudeis asked Li Huailin in the carriage. This was because Li Huailin's retreat was very decisive this time. He did not even wait for the two teams that went out and immediately returned with the main team. Soudeis did not know how many Demons' rebels there were, so he was naturally a little worried.
"There's no need to wait." Li Huailin waved his hand. Of course, there was no time to wait. The mission would start in the afternoon, and it would take a few hours to rush back now. There was no time to wait.
"That's true. There shouldn't be too many Demons' rebels." Soudeis nodded slightly. "After all, we have been besieging them for a while now. The large-scale rebels around here should have been eliminated. Although the rebels are hiding well, there shouldn't be many of them. Your Majesty, according to my guess, this rebel army is very likely to be the troops of the former Emperor of the Demons, Bayzera. "
"Oh? Is that so? "Li Huailin was thinking about something else, so he replied indifferently.
"Yes. This Bayzera has not been caught since the last time they escaped. We also don't know their location. Now that our troops are not here, they are the most likely to rebel. " Soudeis said. "Come to think of it, this Bayzera is really troublesome. If it weren't for Your Majesty's clever plan to lure away that Mythical Beast (Argos, which was left there after Li Huailin ordered him to bomb the Magic Tower) and the army, we would have been able to lure them out of their hole. Otherwise, if we let them continue to hide like this, it might be a big problem for us in the future. "
The more Su Daisi spoke, the more impressed he became. He looked at Li Huailin with a look of worship. Of course, Li Huailin was thinking about something else entirely.
"Do you think there will be too many Demons rebelling this time?" Li Huailin didn't hear the first part of the conversation and asked directly.
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Soudeis said a little nervously. "After all, we have eliminated a lot of scattered Demons recently. So, although the other party is hiding, there shouldn't be too many of them. Otherwise, we would have discovered and eliminated them. We still have 50,000 soldiers here. It should be more than enough to eliminate them."
"Damn it, look what you've done!" Li Huailin suddenly slammed the tea table on the carriage next to him. The loud noise made Soudeis kneel down immediately. He was already feeling guilty because the rebellion was caused by his incompetence. If he had eliminated all the rebels a long time ago, His Majesty wouldn't have needed to do anything.
"Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Soudeis quickly admitted his mistake.
"I do need to punish you, but I don't have time now." Of course, Li Huailin's current headache wasn't the problem of Soudeis's cleanliness in eliminating the rebels, but the problem of the rebels' small number. According to Soudeis, there weren't many rebels. Li Huailin only had 50,000 soldiers, but Soudeis said it was more than enough. In other words … the number of the rebels was far less than 50,000. This … was too little. Li Huailin brought his troops back full of hope, but in the end, he only managed to eliminate so few rebels. He might as well stay in Tinstall and kill some civilians. Maybe the number of rebels would be even higher.
But the problem was that Li Huailin had wasted a lot of time going back now. The army was already halfway there. If he went back now, it would be a slap in his face. Besides, there was no reason to go back. The rear was full of rebels. How could he go back? Li Huailin was having a headache again. Why is this not going well? I'm causing trouble everywhere …
While he was having a headache, it seemed like he had activated the protagonist's aura again. Immediately, someone came to give Li Huailin an opportunity. He heard a soldier outside the carriage shouting, "Your Majesty, there's an urgent military report from the frontlines."
"Is it the news from the Demons' main city?" Soudeis was originally kneeling on the ground waiting for Li Huailin's order. But now, he couldn't care less and quickly asked.
"Yes, it's the news from the Demons' main city," the soldier outside answered immediately.
"Send it in immediately." Soudeis immediately opened the window of the carriage and took the news from the soldier. After reading it, Soudeis's expression changed drastically.
"This is bad, Your Majesty." Soudeis said a little anxiously. "According to the news that just came, the rebels of the Demons are quite powerful. They actually conquered the Demons' main city. Furthermore, our guess was right. The leader of the opposition is indeed Bayzera. Due to his identity, some of the demons in the city actually colluded with the enemy and opened the west gate of the main city, allowing the rebel army to directly enter the city. Our troops can only retreat to the inner city of the royal city. The situation is extremely urgent … "
"Oh …" Li Huailin didn't react at this time and answered absent-mindedly.
"Your Majesty, according to the intelligence, Bayzera is currently inciting the civilians in the city to join his rebel army and fight against us … After all, Bayzera has been the emperor of the Demons for decades. Although he has abdicated (forced), he still has a certain level of prestige. If we let him incite them for a while longer, I'm afraid that they will really …" Soudeis said anxiously.
"Wait!" Li Huailin suddenly came back to his senses. His eyes flashed. "You mean that Bayzera is currently recruiting soldiers in the main city?"
"Yes, they definitely know that we will immediately return after hearing this news. That's why they are now gathering troops. I believe that as long as they recruit enough troops, and with the strong defense of the Demons' main city, they might really cause us trouble, "Soudeis said anxiously.
"Good, good, good …" Li Huailin was suddenly overjoyed. How could there be such a good thing? Bayzera, who couldn't find anyone to fight previously, suddenly gave them such a huge gift. Now, they were still worried about the manpower problem, and it was this Bayzera again. They were afraid that Li Huailin wouldn't have enough people, so they hurriedly expanded their troops so that Li Huailin could farm more. This Bayzera was basically Li Huailin's lucky general. All the good gifts were given by Bayzera. To be honest, Li Huailin wanted to give him a military badge. This guy would definitely be the greatest contributor to this battle.
"Eh?" Soudeis was slightly surprised. He didn't know what Li Huailin meant by 'good, good, good'. Could this be part of Li Huailin's plan?
"Wait …" Li Huailin suddenly paused. A great idea popped up in his mind. Yes, he thought for a moment. It wasn't enough to just rely on Bayzera to recruit people. Although Bayzera was the former Emperor of the Demons, he had already stepped down from his position. Moreover, he was looking for commoners. Although there might be some hot-blooded youths among these commoners who would really join, most commoners were resigned to their fate. Why would they do something so dangerous? His army would definitely return to reinforce them. Perhaps many people were waiting to see if Bayzera could defend against the Undead army. If they could defend against the Undead army, then a large number of people would join. Otherwise, they would definitely continue to be commoners. Therefore, the number of people that Bayzera could recruit … would definitely be very limited.
Soudeis said that Bayzera could recruit people to defend against the Undead army? Fifty thousand people at most. Fifty thousand wasn't enough for Li Huailin. He still needed more than two million … Therefore, Li Huailin came up with a new plan.
"Soudeis, there's something I need you to do," said Li Huailin suddenly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please give me your orders," replied Soudeis immediately.
"Immediately send someone to the City of Demons and spread the news that I'm furious about Bayzera's betrayal. I also heard that there are spies in the city that are helping Bayzera, so I'm suspicious of the Demons. I'm giving them a chance. Before my army arrives, ask the commoners to capture Bayzera and bring him to me. If I don't see Bayzera by the time I arrive … kill everyone in the City of Demons! "said Li Huailin with a cold smile.
"What?" Sudaisi was startled as he broke out in cold sweat, "Your Majesty, this isn't a joke. If you give the order, perhaps the entire demon race will rebel. After all, Bayzera is their former emperor … … they still have prestige. If they don't agree, won't they all join Bayzera's camp? There are millions of residents in the demon race's main city … …" Sudaisi was shocked as he broke out in cold sweat.
"I know. What I want is to force them to rebel," said Li Huailin with a faint smile.
"What?" Soudeis was stunned.
"Think about it, what a great opportunity this is," said Li Huailin. Li Huailin said, "Although we have occupied the main city of the Devil Race, it is only the main city of the Devil Race after all. Don't you want to turn it into the secondary capital of the Undead? Now is the perfect opportunity for us to get rid of all the commoners in the City of Demons and turn them into Undead. Isn't this also a way to expand our strength? "
"This …" Soudeis was intimidated by Li Huailin.
"Alright, this is all part of my plan, understand?" said Li Huailin suddenly. "Let's go with this plan."
