The appearance of the black beast had basically determined the outcome of the battle. Not only were the Demons surrounded on both sides, but there was also a black beast in the middle of the army. It was impossible for the Demons to continue fighting. The speed of the army's collapse was like an avalanche. In an instant, the battle was over, and the rest of the time was basically up to the Undead army to harvest.
Due to the black beast's speed of collecting heads, the Nephilim army was almost completely gone after 20 minutes. The Nephilim army couldn't escape either. They were either dead or lying on the ground, pretending to be dead. Of course, the Undead army also began to clean up the battlefield. In addition to searching for those who were pretending to be dead, they also wanted to collect the spoils of war. After all, these weapons and armors were all high-grade goods. They were very valuable.
Li Huailin also found a place to change back. After all, when he changed back, he would trigger a big explosion, and this big explosion would also kill his own people, so he must find a safe place to change back every time. After that, Li Huailin went to Soudeis's side again.
"Your Highness." Soudeis had just been listening to the report from his men. When he saw Li Huailin, he immediately rushed over. "The basic battle report is out. We lost about 2,000 people, and some of our rations and military supplies were burned. However, the 50,000 Demons attacked us, and almost all of them were wiped out. This is an epic victory!"
"Emperor Woccha! Emperor Woccha! Emperor Woccha! " Without needing Soudeis to say anything, the surrounding Undead soldiers spontaneously began to roar in unison. Their shouts were earth-shattering.
"Okay, okay." Li Huailin pressed his hand down. "Everyone did a good job. This time, the plan was very successful."
Because the favorability of the Undead could not be reversed, Li Huailin could only praise them and slightly increase their loyalty. While they were talking, Fiona came back with a head in her hand.
"Your Highness." Fiona half-knelt in front of Li Huailin and said, "This is the head of the enemy general. Please have a look, Your Highness."
Before Li Huailin could speak, Soudeis went online to have a look and replied, "Your Highness, I recognize this person. He is the veteran general of the Demons, Dmitri. It turns out that he was the leader this time."
"Hmm." Although Li Huailin did not know Dmitri, he probably knew that he was a famous general of the Demons. So, he nodded and said to Fiona, "Although it is a great achievement to kill the enemy general, you are a sinner yourself. The merits and demerits offset each other. You should return to your original position. Do you have any objections?"
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness!" Fiona said immediately.
Originally, Li Huailin planned to get rid of this stupid guy directly. But after thinking about it, there were only two lords on the front line, and the other three were in the main city. If Fiona was removed, only Soudeis would be left to lead the army. He was a little worried, so he thought about it and decided to use Fiona first. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities to replace her.
"Well, the Demons' army has been defeated. I don't think the enemy will dare to come out to fight again before we reach the enemy's main city. So, let's advance steadily in the direction of the main city." Li Huailin looked at the time. It was already past one o 'clock in the middle of the night. Li Huailin should have gone to bed long ago, and now he was ready to go offline. So, he said, "Soudeis, I'll leave this side to you. The route is the same as before, and the plan is the same. Advance city by city. As long as you pass through the city, slaughter all the civilians. If the civilians run in the direction of the main city, just let them go. There is no need to pursue them."
"Yes, Your Highness." Naturally, Soudeis knew Li Huailin's goal. The civilians had all flocked to the main city to avoid the flames of war. This was already a huge pressure on the main city. Besides, all the civilians they slaughtered were Demons, so there was no psychological pressure at all.
"Fiona, if there's any situation, you two should discuss it a little and choose the safest way. Don't act rashly anymore," Li Huailin said again.
"Yes, Your Highness. I won't do it again," Fiona said immediately.
"That's all for now. I'll go …" Just as Li Huailin was about to go offline, he suddenly received a system notification.
System Notification: You will be officially crowned as the fourth Emperor of the Undead Hematira Empire. Do you accept the coronation? Warning: After the coronation is successful, you will automatically switch from the Light Faction to the Dark Faction. Please choose carefully.
"Crap?" Li Huailin was stunned at first, then he was shocked. It was actually the coronation notification. Moreover, after the coronation, there would actually be a situation where the Undead would switch factions. This was really terrible. If they switched factions, it meant that the Undead would all become green friendly, while the Humans would all become hostile. This was really terrible.
"That's not right. I'm already here. Why would there be a coronation notification?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. Then, he felt a little baffled. His naming ceremony had been halfway through, and someone had left. So, why would there suddenly be a coronation notification? Hence, Li Huailin decisively teleported to Mattheon's side.
To Li Huailin's surprise, as soon as he teleported back, he saw Mattheon pulling a black-robed man down from the stands. It seemed that the ceremony had just ended. Li Huailin was slightly stunned. However, he immediately recognized the black-robed man. Above the man's head was a name: Yaze.
"Your Highness." When Mattheon saw Li Huailin return, he froze for a moment. Then, he immediately asked, "How is the situation over there?"
"We've won. The Demons have been completely annihilated," Li Huailin said simply.
"Wonderful!" The surrounding Lords immediately shouted. "God bless the Undead!"
"Let's not talk about this first. What's going on?" Li Huailin hurriedly asked.
"Oh." Of course, Mattheon also knew what Li Huailin was talking about. He immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, the ceremony was halfway through, and we couldn't stop it. Since you had rushed to the front lines, we had no choice but to let Yaze take your place to complete the rest of the ceremony. In any case, the Divine Sword has already been displayed, so there shouldn't be anyone who discovered it. We discussed this matter and decided on our own. Please punish us, Your Highness."
"Since Your Highness has returned, let's change it to Your Highness," Sulfur immediately said.
"That's right, that's right." Yaze hurriedly took off his black robe and half-knelt on one knee. He then handed the crown on his head to Li Huailin and said, "I'm really sorry, Your Highness. I didn't mean to pretend to be you."
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. "Wait … that's a good idea."
"Huh?" The surrounding Lords were slightly stunned. "What did you say, Your Highness?"
"I said that it's a good idea." Li Huailin smiled and said, "Yaze, I think it's a good idea. Why don't you pretend to be me first?"
"Huh?" Yaze was clearly stunned. He immediately said, "This, this absolutely can't be done, Your Highness. How can I …"
"Wait, let me finish," Li Huailin immediately said, "You know that I'm being targeted by a lot of people, right? For example, the Guardian of the Divine Sword. Although I foiled their assassination plan today, I think they won't stop once they find out. I reckon that they will send someone to assassinate me in a few days. "
"Mhm." Everyone nodded. This was natural. The other party originally wanted to retrieve the Divine Sword. Naturally, they wouldn't stop.
"Then isn't my current situation very dangerous? In this kind of situation, wouldn't an ordinary Emperor find a Shadow Dancer? "Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Shadow Dancer? What's that? "All the Lords were stunned.
"It's the person who's pretending to be me," Li Huailin said.
"Oh, I understand." All the Lords immediately understood what Li Huailin meant. In other words, Li Huailin could be attacked at any time. Thus, they found someone to pretend to be Li Huailin to block the bullet. If someone wanted to assassinate Li Huailin, this person would be the one to take the hit.
"Gulp." Yaze directly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Originally, his job was quite easy. During the ceremony just now, he was quite proud of himself. Although he wasn't the one who ascended to the throne, it still felt quite good. Now that he thought about it, he really did take a trip to the gates of hell. If someone tried to assassinate him at that time, he would have died long ago. Now, His Highness wanted him to continue pretending. This …
"Yaze …" Li Huailin suddenly put his hands on Yaze's shoulders and said, "You know the situation. My situation is very dangerous. That's why I need you to pretend to be me. This is a very dangerous job. I can't guarantee your safety at all. Can you do it?"
"Yaze." Matthew, who was next to him, also stood up and said, "This is related to the safety of the entire Undead Race. His Highness has taken a liking to you. This is your honor. You are my subordinate. Don't make me lose face."
"Yes!" Yaze clenched his teeth and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I'm ready to sacrifice myself at any time. So, please leave this matter to me!"
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded with satisfaction. "Then, I'll leave it to you. So, let's arrange it like this. Yaze will pretend to be me and attend any event that I should attend. However, the main matters here will still be decided by you guys. I will temporarily hide in the dark and observe the other party's movements."
"Okay." Li Huailin's words were reasonable. The Lords also agreed with him. They simply couldn't see through Li Huailin's real intention of leaving behind a mess.
"Okay, that's all for now. I'll go rest first." After saying that, Li Huailin directly went offline.
