Midnight.
Many demons were waiting in the palace. Their nerves were tense, and they would immediately take action at the slightest sign of trouble. They were afraid that they would miss any movement and allow the human thief to sneak in.
In the end, all of them widened their eyes. Their eyes were bloodshot, and some even became cross-eyed. They were extremely exhausted.
But when it was midnight, the human thief who had left the message still did not appear. There was no movement in the entire palace. It was silent, as if nothing had happened.
An hour passed. Two hours. Three hours. Finally, some demons could not take it anymore.
"What's going on? Why isn't the human thief here yet? Did he get the time wrong? "
"Wrong my a * s. I read the note dozens of times just now. There's no mistake. It's midnight tonight."
"But why isn't the human here yet? There's no movement at all. It's so boring. A few flies flew over just now, and we ate them all. "
"Without a doubt, the human must be afraid. Knowing that our army is here, he must be scared shitless. He wouldn't dare to appear. He's not an idiot."
"It can't be. He clearly sent out a letter of challenge and said that he would come to steal. He's so arrogant as if he's the heavens. Now that he sees that we have the numbers, he doesn't dare to come? He's so cowardly, yet he dares to be a thief?! "
"Hmph, humans are all cowardly bandits. Every single one of them is incompetent. How can they be as brave and good at fighting as us demons? Once we set up our formation, he'll be scared shitless."
Many demons sneered. They all thought that the human was just saying it. Seeing their formation, he had long been scared shitless.
Some of the demons heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the human thief did not come. Otherwise, if their treasures were stolen in front of everyone, they would be embarrassed.
It was a slap to the Silver Wyrm King's face!
"Hmph, cowardly human. That's all you can do." The Silver Wyrm King sneered and clenched his fists.
A grandmaster demon immediately went forward to flatter. "That's to be expected. With our king guarding here, no matter how gutsy that human is, he wouldn't dare to come and court death."
"It's a pity that the human is too cowardly. We lost the chance to capture him."
Its flattery made the Silver Wyrm King feel very comfortable.
"Report!"
All of a sudden, a small demon rushed in from outside, sweating profusely.
What?!
Suddenly, all the monsters in the palace tensed up. Could it be that something big had really happened?
"Speak, what happened?" The Silver Wyrm King stared at the little Yao.
The other demons widened their eyes, looking like they wanted to devour someone. They were filled with killing intent.
Xiao Yao was so scared that he almost peed his pants. He almost collapsed to the ground, but he suppressed the fear in his heart and said, "Just now at the city gate, we also found a slip of paper, so we came to report it."
City gate?!
Many of the demons were shocked. They suddenly came to their senses, as though they had recalled something. All of their expressions turned ugly.
"Note? What is written on it? "The Silver Wyrm King immediately asked.
The little demon shivered and said, "It says, 'Thank you, Silver Flood Dragon King, for your gift. The mountains will not change, and the rivers will flow forever. We will meet again if fate allows it.'"
What?!
Hearing those words, all the monsters were shocked. Doesn't this mean that the human thief has taken this opportunity to leave the Silver Dragon City and run away?
"We've been tricked! We've been tricked!"
One of the grandmaster-level demons shouted, "That shameless human thief didn't actually want to steal the king's treasure. He wanted to make use of this incident to mobilize the king and the army, gathering most of them in the palace."
"This way, there will be fewer guards at the city gate. By then, that shameless human thief will naturally take this opportunity to escape and leave Silver Wyrm City!"
"We've been tricked!"
The Silver Wyrm King was so angry that his face turned pale. He immediately understood what had happened. The so-called theft at midnight was just a ruse, a provocation.
That shameless human provoked the Silver Wyrm King on purpose, making them think that the human thief would definitely come to the palace to steal. Thus, they sent the army to guard the palace. Little did they know that it was a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
They didn't realize that all of them had been tricked.
"Shameless! Shameless human!"
"How could he do such a thing?"
"He's not trustworthy. He said that he was here to steal, but now he's going back on his words."
"He's good at pulling up his pants and leaving. Despicable to the extreme."
"Humans are all shameless, despicable, and lowly."
"Their words can't even be trusted. They're worse than farts."
"Rather than trusting a human's words, you might as well trust a pile of shit."
"We're stupid too. We actually waited here for three hours like idiots."
"Come to think of it, how could a small human dare to do such a thing? He's too shameless."
The other demons' faces turned green. They also understood that they were fooled by the human. On the surface, they were here to steal, but in fact, they wanted to escape.
Yet, they didn't realize it and let the human thief escape.
"Despicable human, I won't forgive him!" The Silver Wyrm King was furious. Its face turned red and its body trembled. It was actually fooled by a human and waited in the palace for three hours for nothing.
One must know that even its lover wouldn't make it wait for such a long time. Yet, this human thief did it, causing it to suffer such humiliation.
If it didn't kill that human, its prestige as a king would be completely destroyed.
"He definitely can't escape far. Chase after him. Immediately chase after him and kill that human thief. We definitely can't let him escape." The Silver Wyrm King's anger reached its peak. It roared, causing the void to tremble. It was as though the entire palace was splitting apart.
The entire Silver Wyrm City was shaking. Countless demons could hear the Silver Wyrm King's roar.
Some of the demons could feel the Silver Wyrm King's rage. They remembered that it was hundreds of years ago. Back then, the Silver Wyrm King wanted to massacre a demon kingdom to kill a traitor.
At that time, tens of millions of demons died. Corpses were everywhere.
Sou sou sou!!!
Demons flew out of the palace in a frenzy. Huge dark clouds covered the sky. Together with the Silver Wyrm King, it was like an army of a million had left the country. They charged towards Silver Wyrm City.
Bang!
The gates of Silver Wyrm City were opened. The demon soldiers moved out. All of them were wearing armor and wielding spears. They were filled with killing intent. In an orderly formation, they rushed out of Silver Wyrm City.
At this moment, the entire Cold Moon Lake was shaking. Countless demons living under the water were shivering. They thought that a war was about to break out. All of them hid and revealed looks of terror.
