"What!?" Everyone was shocked. Eusthenia, who was the leader, immediately asked, "How many?"
"A lot, at least 500," the informant replied immediately.
"What?!" This number really scared the Evil Demons, and everyone was panicking.
However, Li Huailin's side was a little strange. Now that he looked at the current population of the Demon Race, including the minors, there should be more than a thousand of them, which should be more than the Fire Elementals. Weren't the Evil Demons very good at fighting? Otherwise, why would Li Huailin look for them? As for the Fire Elementals … Li Huailin knew how strong they were. They were just small fries, so what was there to be afraid of?
However, after thinking about it, he was probably afraid that this was the advance team of the Fire Elementals. If they let a few of them go and expose their position, what awaited them might be an endless army of Fire Elementals. This was indeed a headache.
Although the Evil Demons' settlement was built in the mountains, and their dwellings were very simple, they only dug a few caves and built some structures with stones. After all, it was a good hiding place. The Evil Demons had probably stayed here for a long time, and if they were discovered by Fire Elementals, they would have to move to another place. That would probably be very troublesome and dangerous.
"How did they discover this place?" one of the Evil Demons suddenly asked.
"Yeah." His question made many people think. "We've been here for so long, and we haven't been discovered, but now …"
Everyone looked at Celston. After all, as soon as he arrived, the Fire Elementals immediately discovered their settlement. This was really a little too much of a coincidence.
"What do you mean?" Vilna was unhappy. How could her father be questioned? "Are you suspecting my father? Who are you? "
"You're Princess Vilna, right?" Eusthenia stepped forward and said, "No, you're not a princess anymore, and Celston is no longer our king. Our country has perished, so how can there be a princess and a king? We're not afraid of you trying to use your identity to suppress us. "
"Yeah, we're not afraid!" Vilna's attitude seemed to have caused public outrage. It seemed that Eusthenia's reputation was much higher than Elston's, so everyone supported Eusthenia's attitude.
"You!" Vilna was infuriated, but just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Celston. Looking at his fellow demons, Celston said, "The fire elementals really weren't attracted by us. Even if they followed me, it wasn't my intention. No matter what, leave these Fire Elementals to me. I won't let them hurt you, nor will I let a single one of them escape and expose this place. "
Celston displayed the bearing of a King. As he spoke, many people were shaken. It was as if they were witnessing the return of the Demon Race's King.
"What you said makes sense." Celston continued, "I was the one who betrayed you. Regardless of the reason, I know I've lost your trust. Right now, I just want to save you. If you don't want to leave, I won't force you. I'll think of a way to fight against the Divine Race and defeat them. When it's safe outside, I'll come back to pick you up … "
"Huh?" Li Huailin stared blankly. Didn't you say that you're going to persuade them to leave? Can't you just persuade them to come down?
However, Celston's words did move the Evil Demons. Although there was no evidence to prove that Celston's words were true, they were moved by his sincerity. Of course, Celston's words were sincere, which was why they were moved.
Thinking about it carefully, they could indeed survive in this place, but they would be living like dogs. Letting Celston fight the Evil Demons alone and let them enjoy the fruits of victory after defeating the Divine Race? The Evil Demons didn't think that they were shameless to that extent.
Indeed, after being exiled for thousands of years, many of the remaining Evil Demons had accepted their fate. However, when they saw Celston's appearance, they were still a little shaken. Were they satisfied with their current lives? Of course not. They came from the outside world, so they knew how good the outside world was. In comparison, this place was like hell. The only thing they could do was to barely survive.
"Should we fight this king again?" Many people had this thought in their minds, but they were only moved. No one expressed their stance yet.
"We can discuss this matter later," Eusthenia suddenly said. "Right now, we have to solve the problem of the Fire Elementals. I believe that you didn't intentionally bring the Fire Elementals here, but you are also responsible. You have admitted that. However, this isn't your problem alone, but our entire settlement's problem. So, everyone should prepare for battle. Once the Fire Elementals discover our location, we must eliminate them all. "
"Okay!" Eusthenia's words weren't wrong. All the Evil Demons started preparing. However, Li Huailin was stunned when he saw the things they prepared. The weapon that the Evil Demons took out was a stone stick, which was pretty good because half of them didn't even have a weapon.
After thinking about it, it didn't seem too strange. After all, there weren't any plants here, so there were no trees. There were only stones and sand everywhere, so it was probably impossible to make a spear or a sword. Li Huailin thought that the Evil Demons were afraid of the Fire Elementals because of their weapons. If they didn't even have a sword, how could they fight against the Fire Elementals? Hand-To-Hand combat? Ugh … It seemed like many of them were ready to fight hand-to-hand.
Celston clearly noticed the dire situation the demons were in and immediately said, "There's no need for you guys. Let me deal with them. All of you hide inside, I'll protect you."
"We can't trust you completely yet. Besides, this is also our problem," Eusthenia said.
Celston didn't argue with Eusthenia. Instead, he said to Li Huailin, "Let's go to the front and intercept the Fire Elementals."
"Ugh … But they're already here." Li Huailin pointed to the side. Everyone turned around and was stunned. Li Huailin was right. The Fire Elementals had already appeared in everyone's sight. Of course, they couldn't see much at the moment, but the team behind them didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
"How is this possible?" Eusthenia was stunned. "How is this possible? This place is so hard to find. How could they find us so quickly? It's like they know where we are. "
"Indeed." Li Huailin was now sure that the Fire Elementals knew where they were. Even if the Evil Demons knew where they were, it would take them a long time to find them in this mountain. However, the Fire Elementals had caught up with them almost instantly. This was too strange. They definitely knew where they were.
Although it was strange, it wasn't the time to think about it. The Fire Elementals had also seen them. There was no doubt that they were coming for them. Hence, when they saw the Evil Demons, the Fire Elementals in front immediately sped up and rushed over.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!" Eusthenia shouted. "Women, take care of the elderly and children. Everyone else, move forward. We can't let these guys enter the tribe."
"I won't let them hurt you." The one who spoke was Celston. As he spoke, he disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the Fire Elementals. Without any fancy movements, Celston punched the Fire Elemental at the front.
With a bang, the entire upper half of the Fire Elemental exploded like a balloon. It could be said that it was an instant kill.
This move didn't surprise Li Huailin. After all, Celston was the leader of the Evil Demons, so it was impossible that he couldn't even defeat a Fire Elemental. However, what happened next shocked Li Huailin. The Fire Elemental that Celston had defeated didn't seem to be dead. Although its head had exploded, its body twisted and didn't turn into powder. Instead, it seemed to be slowly recovering.
Before Celston could react, the Fire Elemental beside him immediately rushed over and threw a punch at Celston. Of course, Celston didn't think much of it. He raised his hand to block it, but the result was unexpected. With a loud bang, Celston was sent flying by the Fire Elemental's punch. His body emitted black smoke as he flew back.
"Hey, it can't be. Big Bro, you're too weak." Li Huailin couldn't help but complain. He came to find Celston because he was good at fighting. Could he really not defeat a Fire Elemental?
However, Celston wasn't that weak. He couldn't take a punch from the Fire Elemental and was sent flying because he wasn't prepared. Celston turned around in midair and landed steadily. He looked at his armor. There was a black mark where he had been hit, but other than that, there were no other problems.
"Something's wrong. These guys are a bit strong," Celston said.
"A bit strong?" Li Huailin smiled bitterly. How strong could elemental creatures be? Big Bro, can you not joke around?
But just as Li Huailin was thinking this, Corrances, who had been hanging on him for a long time, suddenly spoke. "Right, this is your first time fighting elemental creatures here, right? I forgot to tell you, this is the Elemental Plane. Elemental creatures are much stronger here than on the other side. "
