"A funeral …" Li Huailin looked at the surroundings. The construction of the cemetery was very simple. It was just some rubble piled up casually with round stones piled up in front of it to serve as a tombstone. Li Huailin counted the number of tombstones. It was less than he had imagined. There were only ten of them.
"So how many people did we lose?" Li Huailin immediately asked.
"About 200," Vilna replied with a hint of sadness.
"200? Why are there so few tombstones? "Li Huailin immediately asked.
Vilna briefly explained to Li Huailin that the Evil Demons' tradition was to build a tombstone when there was no male heir after the death of the entire family. This wasn't an individual tombstone, but a family tombstone. Therefore, although more than 200 people died this time, only about ten families were wiped out.
"I see." After all, they weren't humans, so it wasn't strange for their concept of funerals to be different from humans. Li Huailin nodded and continued to ask, "How many people are left now?"
"657 left," Vilna replied.
"Err … there are only 657 people left?" Li Huailin felt a slight headache. He didn't expect the Evil Demons to have so few people left. It was much less than what he had expected. He originally thought that the Evil Demons would play a key role in the war against the Divine Race, but now that their numbers were too few, it wasn't realistic for them to play a key role. But after all, it was still a battle force, so Li Huailin naturally wouldn't mind.
"You're here." As he said that, Celston also walked over. Along with him was the current village chief of the Evil Demons, Eusthenia. Looking at the current situation of the two, it seemed that after a battle and a night of communication, the relationship between the two seemed to have eased.
"Mr. Logan." Eusthenia took the initiative to speak to Li Huailin. "We really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss."
"It's fine, it's fine. I just did what I should do." Li Huailin was telling the truth. Most of the Evil Demons here had been killed by Li Huailin, so their favorability towards Li Huailin had increased quite a bit. Most of the Demons now had a favorable impression of Li Huailin. Even Celstone's favorability towards him had increased quite a bit.
"We are discussing the problem of the Evil Demons. Why don't you voice your opinion?" Celstone said.
Of course, Li Huailin couldn't discuss the Evil Demons. However, Li Huailin still had the identity of Cellologan, which was considered a guest of the Evil Demons. So, of course, he could raise his opinion. Now, whether it was Celstone or the Evil Demons, their favorability towards Li Huailin was quite high. Therefore, no one objected to his opinion. It was just that the decision didn't lie with Li Huailin. He could voice his opinion, but the decision was still made by Eusthenia.
Li Huailin's purpose in coming here was, of course, to pull the Demons into his team. Although there were fewer of them now, he could still use them. So he immediately said, "My opinion is, of course, to go out. Your current home is destroyed anyway, and this place isn't suitable for you to live in. In this case, it's better to go out."
"But it's also dangerous outside," Celstone immediately said. "We're being chased by the Elementals here, but there's also the Gods outside. Both sides are very dangerous. I think the Elementals here are easier to deal with. "
After saying that, Celstone turned to Eusthenia. "Eusthenia, if you decide to stay here, I will help you find a new hiding place and build a new home."
"Hey, Big Brother, whose side are you on?" Li Huailin couldn't help but ask. Didn't Celstone say that he would help persuade them to leave? Why would he help them live here now? And from his tone, it seemed like he was going to stay here for a while. Wasn't this troublesome? Not only were the Evil Demons unable to help, but Celstone was also dragged away. There was less than a month left until the war with the Gods. Li Huailin definitely couldn't wait for the other side to build a new home before waiting for Celstone to come out.
"I … I've thought about it. All of this was caused by me. Now, I still want them to join the war against the Divine Race. I really can't do it," Celstone said. "Since they already have a new life, I can't force them."
"My god …" Li Huailin felt a headache coming on. He thought for a moment and said to Celstone, "You're taking care of the people inside, but aren't you going to take care of the people outside?"
"The people outside?" Celstone asked.
"I already said that the four kings of the Evil Demons are still here. Now is the time when the Evil Demons need to exert themselves. Is it really good for you guys to hide in a corner?" Li Huailin said, slightly agitated.
"Are Dallochus and the others still alive?" Celstone nodded. "Since you said it, I believe you. However, I can't find them right now. Once the people here are settled, I will go outside to look for them."
"What if they need you now?" Li Huailin suddenly said. He then pointed to Eusthenia and said, "Not only do they need you, but they also need you guys. You can blame Celstone for betraying you, but Dallochus and the others are the Evil Demons. They fought to the end for you guys. Are you going to abandon your king for your own safety? "
This statement was very effective. Li Huailin's words made sense. Indeed, Celstone and the others could say the same thing. However, if it was Dallochus and the others who said it, they really had no reason to refuse. However, Eusthenia immediately asked, "Is what you said true? Our king and the others need our strength right now?"
"Have you seen Dallochus and the others?" Celstone immediately asked.
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. At this time, he had already decided to let the Evil Demons go back. Of course, he also admitted, "I have indeed seen Dallochus and the others."
"What?" Celstone and Eusthenia were both shocked. Then, Celstone immediately said, "You … Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"With your previous identity, can I directly recognize you as one of us?" Li Huailin asked with a smile.
"Uh …" Celstone was immediately speechless. Indeed, he still had the identity of a Celestial, so it wasn't a problem for Li Huailin to be cautious. "Then, where are they now?"
"Of course, they're at the Crystal Throne." Li Huailin spread his hands.
"They've already returned to the Crystal Throne?" Celstone asked excitedly. "Really? That's great! Wait, wasn't the Crystal Throne completely sealed by the Celestials? "
"Sealed?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean by not being able to go to the surface? Anyway, I always use the teleportation array to enter. "
"I see. Where's the teleportation array? I'll go see them immediately, "Celstone said anxiously.
"I'll go too," Eusthenia also said anxiously.
"Sorry, you can't go now." Li Huailin immediately said, "Don't worry. If you go out like this, you might be discovered by the Celestials. So, even if you want to go out, you need to have a plan. But before that, have you decided to go out?"
"…" Eusthenia was also excited, but after hearing the news from Dalrocos and the others, Eusthenia started to think about going out. If Celstone was alone, Eusthenia would have to consider it. After all, Celstone's betrayal was really hard to explain. His reputation wasn't that high anymore, but Dalrocos and the others were different. After thinking about it, Eusthenia said, "I need to ask everyone's opinion."
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded.
Eusthenia immediately gathered everyone and told them everything that Li Huailin had said. Of course, because Li Huailin's favorability was still very high among the Evil Demons, no one doubted his words. And after hearing that the four Evil Demons' kings were still around, everyone had some confidence in the revival of the Evil Demons.
In fact, some of the Evil Demons already wanted to go out. They also came from the outside, so of course, they knew that the outside world was much better than here. It was just that they had no choice but to stay here. But now that the four Evil Demons' kings were still around and had returned to the Evil Demons' Holy Land, the Crystal Throne, it definitely gave them a lot of confidence. Moreover, just like what Li Huailin said, Dalrocos and the others didn't betray the Evil Demons. They fought for the Evil Demons until the last moment, so as the Evil Demons' subjects, they had no reason to not listen to the summons of the other three kings. Saying that they were afraid of death wouldn't make sense. They weren't that cowardly.
After gathering everyone's opinions, they agreed with Eusthenia's. "If the King really needs us, we are willing to go out and fight for the Evil Demons."
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded. Sure enough, Dalrocos and the others were more famous. "But I also said before that if we go out rashly, we might be discovered by the Gods and ruin our plan. That's why I have to discuss with Dalrocos and the others first. You can't go out in your current situation, but Celstone, you can move around, right? "
"I'll go find them with you," Celstone replied immediately.
"Then you guys stay here and rest. We'll go to the Crystal Throne and discuss with Dalrocos and the others how to get you out," said Li Huailin.
