"I refuse! Xia Fan and Fo You can't join my team! "
"Why?"
"Because they aren't members of the Demon Slayer Clan. I have to lead soldiers I can trust in such an important mission."
"Old De, I understand that you value the trust of the team, but Xia Fan and Fo You are really outstanding. Everyone has seen their performance during the battle in the valley, the Griffin incident in the Garden of Beasts, and this time when Nicai was trapped. Besides, Xia Fan is the only one who can read the demonic tune and get the map."
"Then ask him to hand over the map, or ask him to assist from afar. There's always a way to solve the problem. I won't bring people I don't know."
"Then what if I insist?"
"Sorry, I'm away from home. I can't take orders."
The atmosphere was tense. Old General Drexton was determined not to bring Xia Fan and Fo You into the demon palace, only willing to bring soldiers he knew and trusted. This made Calvinson feel very awkward. He admired Xia Fan from the bottom of his heart and even wanted to make him the commander, but he had to give up after considering Xia Fan's current status.
Bloodline was a very metaphysical thing. A large number of people in Hidden Demon City believed that those who killed the demon king would receive some kind of magical power from the demon king's blood. This was also why the Demon Slayer Clan had such a high status. People believed that the members of the Demon Slayer Clan would inherit the courage and divine power of killing the demon king. They were superior to the soldiers of ordinary families on a spiritual level.
Calvinson's face darkened. He wanted to shout at Old De, "What's so great about the Demon Slayer Clan? Xia Fan has the Heaven Wings bloodline! "
Unfortunately, only a few people knew that the Heaven Wings had gone to the Lower World. Even General Drexton didn't have the right to know about this crazy army.
Seeing Calvinson and Drexton at each other's throats, Ni Ziru was anxious. He wanted to save his daughter, but the city lord and the general were arguing. How could he explain this?
At this time, Godea, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Old De, bring Xia Fan and Fo You."
"Or else?"
"Or else your family won't get any weapons from me. I can also take back what I gave you before."
Drexton's face turned green when he heard that. The 13 city lords were all master-level existences, and Goethe was in charge of weapon development and production. A single word from him would be enough to take back the weapons and battle suits.
A warrior without a weapon was equivalent to a broken arm, so Goethe's position in Hidden Demon City was extremely special. The warriors had to carefully maintain their relationship with this city lord, otherwise, if the old man was unhappy, he would strip them naked. As for Calvinson, who was studying history, Old De really didn't care.
"You win!"
The veins on Drexton's forehead bulged. He stood up, turned around and walked out of the room.
Calvinson let out a sigh. He had tried his best to persuade Goethe for half a day, but he could not even compare to a single sentence from Goethe. Comparing oneself to others was truly infuriating.
"Old De is a stubborn donkey. Although he has a bad temper, he's really loyal. He's the kind that can sacrifice his life at any time," Godea said, afraid that Carl Vinson would mind.
"Understood. How many warriors don't have a temper?" Carl Vinson shrugged.
.....
"Those whose names are called, follow me!" Drexton was in high spirits as he walked out of the cabin.
"Dongfang He!"
"Jia Yuntian …"
There were nine warriors whose names were called. Including Drexton himself, there were ten of them. In terms of tactics, they were double the firepower of an operation team.
Although Xia Fan and Fo You's names were also mentioned in the end, General Drexton was obviously not too happy. He did not even look at them. He looked down on Xia Fan from the bottom of his heart. He believed that only a warrior whose ancestors had slain demons could inherit the Demon Slayer Army's fine tradition.
"What the hell? It's like we're begging him to go," Little Master mumbled.
"Forget it. Let's just bear with it. Let's save them first," Xia Fan said.
.....
The figures in diving suits jumped into the sea and swam like a school of agile and fast swordfish.
At the bottom of the sea, the top of the Demon Palace had been cleaned up. About a third of it was revealed to the crowd. The towering towers were arranged in a T-shape. This was only the part above the ground. Through Nicai's experience, the crowd had learned that there were countless secret tunnels that looked like a maze beneath the ground. No one knew what kind of secrets were hidden beneath the Demon Palace.
Drexton was old but firm. He stood in the middle of the team and commanded calmly. Soon, they arrived at the entrance.
Currently, there were two ways to enter the Demon Palace. One was to follow Nicai's route and carefully dig through the buried shaft. The other was what Xia Fan and the others had chosen, which was to enter through the vent of the Demon Palace.
"Is everything ready?" Drexton asked in a deep voice.
"No problem!"
"Don't worry, General!"
Drexton nodded slightly and waved at a young man named Christie.
Christie had a head of rare red hair, like a bonfire at night, burning with raging flames. It was said that her sister was a very famous beauty, and thousands of soldiers fell head over heels for her. In Hidden Demon City, she had the nickname of the Little Red-Haired Witch.
Unfortunately, the Little Red-Haired Witch was on a mission in the second level, so Xia Fan and Fo You did not have the chance to meet her.
Christie gathered everyone around him. Then, he raised his right hand and released a mysterious radiance from his palm. The radiance swam and surrounded everyone, forming a circular field.
* Swish! *
Suddenly, Christie clenched his fingers into a fist. Xia Fan felt the scenery around him magnifying while he shrank rapidly. In just a few seconds, he had become a dwarf, like a seven or eight-year-old child.
This was Christie's ability. He could enlarge or shrink objects, but since Xia Fan and the others were humans, excessive enlargement and shrinking would damage their bones and body. Hence, he could only shrink to a third of his original size.
But that was enough. The warrior who had transformed into a child's body could easily enter the ventilation tunnel of the Demon Palace. Someone had already unscrewed the rotten screws and removed the baffle. A group of people entered the tunnel in a single file. Their shoulders were right next to the ventilation tube, and they could only rely on their legs to move faster.
"General, we should take the path on the right. According to the map, this path leads to a place similar to a warehouse. It's very safe there. We should first find a foothold in the Demon Palace, then think of a way to push forward," Xia Fan said through the communication crystal.
Xia Fan was anxious as he watched Drexton lead everyone deeper into the Demon Palace.
Drexton sneered. "You have a lot of suggestions. Why don't you command?"
This …
Xia Fan shook his head. "General, you've misunderstood. I don't mean that."
"Then what do you mean? Do you think you're so great just because you can read the demonic tunes and see the map of the Demon Palace? "
"To tell you the truth, I've attacked more Demon Palaces in my life than you've ever heard of! I can understand the structure of the Demon Palace even with my eyes closed! This is called experience. It's the wealth I've gained from countless battles. "
"The detector shows that the energy waves are getting stronger and stronger from the hidden area at the bottom of the Demon Palace. There's only one thing we need to do, and that is to go straight to the root of the problem! Let's see what exactly is awakening, and then kill it with one slash! "
