The city of the Demons was in a bit of a mess. Just as Soudeis had guessed, Bayzera's army didn't have many soldiers. There were only about 3000 people who could fight, which was nothing compared to the 100,000 undead army. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Bayzera to attack the Nephilim's main city at this time. However, the heavens had given them this opportunity. First, the gigantic beast (Argos) had left, and it had already left for some time. It had no intention of returning. Then, Li Huailin left with almost all the undead troops. What was left was almost an empty city.
Bayzera had already deployed spies in the city of the Demons. After all, he had been the Emperor of the Demons for decades. This was originally his city, so there were still many people who were loyal to him. So he knew the situation in the city very well. Now, there were only two undead squads left to defend, and the human army was long gone, so now was the time when the city was at its weakest.
Although they weren't prepared enough, Bayzera couldn't think of a better opportunity than now. So when he heard that the battle in Tinstall had begun, Bayzera launched a counterattack. In his opinion, although Tinstall, Guharen, and Jorja's people were only a few small forces and absolutely couldn't stop the 100,000 undead army, they should be able to help him buy a little time. As long as he could recruit people during this time and rely on the defense of the main city to defend, he would have the opportunity to fight back.
And so, the rebellion began. It happened to be night time, so Bayzera immediately contacted the spies in the city and had them open the city gates. Because there were too few Undead, they didn't notice the rebellion at all. By the time they discovered it, the Nephilim rebels had already entered the city. There was no way to stop them, so they fought and retreated. Everyone ran into the inner city to defend.
At this time, Bayzera encountered his first trouble. This trouble came from his son, the current Emperor of the Demons, Marwayne.
Of course, Marwayne was still in the palace of the Demons. It was impossible for Li Huailin to bring him with him. Although Marwayne was only a puppet emperor, he was still an emperor, after all, and had his own forces. That was why when the rebellion started, Beyzera found an insider to contact Marwayne and told him to start the rebellion from the inside. Then, they would attack from the outside and control the entire city of Demons.
The plan wasn't bad, but Marwayne changed his mind. That's right, Marwayne agreed at first. His father said that he wanted to come back and even proposed a reliable plan. Marwayne thought that it was a good thing. Although he was the Emperor, he was only a puppet Emperor and had to listen to the Undead. There was nothing good about being an Emperor, so it was better to return the Emperor to his father. Marwayne thought that it was a good thing.
Hearing Marwayne's agreement, one of Marwayne's men found Marwayne and analyzed the current situation for him. His subordinate was also a man with a bit of political sense. He only told Marwayne two things. The core of these two things was that Marwayne would definitely die if he sided with his father.
First, if Bayzera failed in their rebellion, there was nothing much to say. The Undead army would attack again, and Marwayne, the biggest insider, would definitely die. Secondly, if Beyzera's rebellion succeeded, would Marwayne be able to survive? This was not certain. He was the current Emperor. If Bayzera succeeded in their rebellion, they would also ascend the throne again. What would happen to him as the Emperor? Bayzera had to kill him.
Marwayne was a bit confused. Why did Bayzera have to kill him? Wouldn't it be over if he returned the throne to Bayzera? He obviously didn't think too much about it, but his subordinate understood and told him. Marwayne's current throne was supported by the Undead and wasn't given to him by Bayzera. Therefore, he didn't get the throne properly. If Bayzera wanted to take back the throne, it wouldn't be possible for him to abdicate. That would only make Bayzera's throne appear to have been obtained through improper means. The best way was to kill this' fake Emperor 'who was supported by others. Then, Bayzera would regain its throne. Only then would the throne be rightfully obtained and the people would believe in it. Therefore, his subordinate believed that even if Bayzera succeeded in their rebellion, Marwayne would be killed as a 'fake Emperor'. His name would be infamous for thousands of years.
Marwayne was immediately frightened. His subordinate's words were reasonable, and Marwayne knew his father's character. He was a ruthless person, and he would definitely kill his own son. Since he had joined his father's side, whether he succeeded or not, he would still die. Why would he want to court death? Although he was just a puppet now, he was still alive. It was better to live than to die. If he was a puppet, then so be it.
And so, Marwayne betrayed Bayzera. As the Undead retreated to defend the inner city, Marwayne hurriedly reported to the Undead Captain that Bayzera had contacted him to open the inner city gates. However, he was extremely loyal to the Undead Emperor and wouldn't betray him. He then expressed his loyalty for a long time.
The Undead Captain looked down on Marwayne. He was simply a beast to betray his own father. But for now, it was still a good thing, because if the other party wasn't a beast, he would really be in danger. At least now, the inner city was defended, and it would take some time for the devil rebels outside to come in. The news had already been sent out, and His Majesty should have sent reinforcements.
Since the Undead army knew that their army would definitely return, even though there were only a few of them, they put up a strong resistance. As for the Demons' rebel army, Bayzera mobilized his army in a hurry and didn't prepare any siege weapons. He didn't expect that they wouldn't be able to open the inner city gates even though there were spies on the inside. So, they were stuck in a stalemate.
Bayzera was very anxious. He didn't know what had happened in the inner city. He had told his son that the gates should have been opened long ago. Why hadn't there been any response? Had they been discovered? This was terrible. Of course, he knew that the Undead army would definitely return. Now that he couldn't enter the inner city, what should he do?
"How's the mobilization of the civilians?" Bayzera asked the Demons General beside him anxiously.
"Not many people responded," the General beside him replied. The general next to him replied, "The situation is unclear now. No one knows if our rebellion will succeed, so there aren't many people who really want to join us. After all, if we fail, we'll all die, so everyone is watching …"
"This …" Bayzera was anxious.
"The most important thing now is to attack the palace. His Majesty will officially take back the throne. Then, he will issue an imperial edict to mobilize all the civilians. When the time comes, he will be able to mobilize everyone to help us defend the main city. As long as we can successfully defend against the Undead army, we will have a chance," the Demons General said immediately.
"I know, I know," Bayzera said irritably. "But the problem is that we don't know what happened to Marwayne. The inner city gates aren't open yet. How are we going to fight our way in?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will personally go and try to force the gates open," the General said as he drew his sword and walked towards the inner city gates.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!" Just as the general was about to set off, a soldier's shout came from behind. The general immediately turned around and returned.
"What's the matter?" Bayzera asked hurriedly. Every time he heard someone reporting urgent news, he would be on tenterhooks. He was deeply afraid that he would receive something unacceptable. This time, the messenger shouted that something bad had happened. Bayzera panicked when he heard it.
"Something bad has happened. The Undead army has returned. They are now charging towards the main city. They are only two hours away from here," the messenger shouted.
"So they are back?" This news wasn't out of Bayzera's expectations. He just didn't expect the Undead army to return so quickly.
"But this time, only around 50,000 Undead soldiers have returned," the messenger said hurriedly.
"That's good news," Bayzera nodded. Beyzera nodded. It seemed that the three small countries were still useful, helping him hold back half of the undead army.
"But the Undead just sent a message. They want all the civilians in the main city of the Demons to … to …"
"What? Speak clearly, "Bayzera roared.
"Capture His Majesty and bring him to the Undead Emperor. Otherwise, he will massacre the entire city," the messenger said. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. We've already captured the messengers. However, I'm afraid that there are still more messengers. Your Majesty, please give the order to capture them immediately."
"Huh?" Bayzera was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly laughed. "Hahaha, are you stupid? Why are you capturing these messengers? "
"Eh?" The messenger paused for a moment. "No, Your Majesty. They want the civilians to capture you. How can you let them spread the news everywhere?"
"Hahahaha, even the heavens are helping me. I don't know who helped me, but the Undead Emperor came up with such a lousy idea. This is like a pie falling from the sky," Bayzera laughed. "You, hurry up and spread this news. Tell everyone that I am in the central plaza. Tell the people who want to capture me to come here."
"Your Majesty, this …"
"Don't say anymore. Hurry up and go."
"Yes!"
At that moment, in a carriage a few dozen kilometers away, Li Huailin's heart suddenly jumped. Why do I suddenly feel like someone is looking down on me? What's going on?
