Demon Realm King's City.
"Are you kidding me?!"
Sin Demon Voss angrily slammed his fists on the long stone table. Due to his immense strength, the long table instantly shattered into a pile of useless rubble.
"Is Princess Voss serious?!"
The Sin Demon General, clad in pitch-black armour, stared at his subordinate in front of him. Green flames spat out from his mouth like the fury in his heart.
The scorching flames caused the temperature in the hall to rise by several tens of degrees.
"This is an order from Her Highness Cersei herself, Lord Voss."
A demon wearing the same armour as the Sin Demon half-knelt on the ground. He lowered his head out of fear, not daring to look at the roaring Sin Demon.
"An order! We've been defending the border fortress against those cunning humans for hundreds of years! This time, just because of a small order, we're opening the gates of King's City to those humans? "
General Voss picked up the broken pieces of the stone table and clenched his fist. They instantly turned into powder, but this did not seem to ease the anger in his heart.
"What is Princess Voss thinking?!"
"Lord Voss, Her Highness Cersei asked me to tell you that those humans are from a human kingdom called Falosi. They've come to Demon Realm King's City as emissaries, ready to form an alliance with the Devil Realm."
"This must be a plot by those humans. Princess Voss has been deceived! I must find the Second Princess and ask her about it. "
General Voss stood up and was about to walk out of the hall when he suddenly stopped.
He was a loyal follower of the eldest prince, Noggs Yanorod. He had been stationed at the border fortress to defend against the human invasion for the past few years.
His mission this time was to get supplies from the border fortress.
As the commander of this mission, when General Voss left the border fortress, His Highness Noggs had warned him, "Don't trust anyone in King City."
General Voss remembered this warning, but after he arrived at King's City, Princess Yanorod generously handed over the supplies of food and weapons to his army. This made him let down his guard for the time being.
But now, Princess Yanorod suddenly told him that there were human emissaries heading to Demon Realm …
General Voss could not believe that the humans had come with friendly intentions. They must be plotting something evil.
The cunning humans were still fine, but General Voss's worst guess was that Princess Tilly might have already betrayed them and completely sided with the humans.
What should I do? The power that the Second Princess possessed in Royal City was something that he could not match.
Under such circumstances, if General Voss were to ask the second princess personally, he and his army would most likely be in danger.
The sinful demon pressed his hand against his forehead. He was one of the few sinful demons who had lit up the 'strategy' skill.
After a brief moment of thought, he decided that he had to reveal everything to the ruler.
"I'm going to see His Majesty Notren personally," he said to his trusted aide who was kneeling on the ground. "Immediately take the army and temporarily leave the capital."
"But Lord Voss, this order has also been approved by His Majesty Notren." That trusted aide immediately replied, "When Her Highness Cersei announced this news at the Overseer Council, she was holding His Majesty Nottline's personal decree."
A handwritten order … a disguise? Could it be that even the ruler of the Realm of Devils had submitted to the humans?
General Voss's mind was in a mess like a ball of string. What had happened in Royal City while he was stationed at the border fortress?!
"Did Princess Tilly tell you that the human emissaries are here for anything other than forming an alliance?" General Voss continued to ask for details of the council.
"Her Highness Cersei said that … the humans want to visit the Abyss of Sin." The trusted aide's voice was trembling.
Sure enough, when General Voss heard this, green flames spewed out from the gaps in his armor. His entire body was enveloped in the blazing Flames of Sin.
"Damn it!" The ground where General Voss was standing was already showing signs of melting. Sharp claws shot out from his palms and slashed at the wall behind him.
Three burn marks were left on the wall, and there were faint signs of it collapsing.
"Lord Voss, please calm down! This will attract the attention of the Overseers. " The trusted aide raised his voice, hoping to calm the Sinful Demon who was engulfed in anger.
"Those cunning humans dare to encroach on the sacred land of our race!"
When General Voss finished his angry words, he seemed to sense something. The flames on his body disappeared.
A large number of bats suddenly flew into the hall where General Voss was. The smell of blood wantonly filled the hall, and the swarm of bats turned into two masked Overseers.
"General Voss, what happened here?"
Under the mask, the watcher's scarlet eyes scanned the surroundings. The entire hall was already in a mess.
"I just haven't exercised my claws for a long time," General Voss controlled his temper and said to the two Overseers.
"General Voss, I hope you can control yourself. This is Royal City, not the border fortress."
"Of course …" General Voss suddenly thought of something. "Overseers, can you help me tell Princess Tilly that I wish to be part of the reception of the human emissaries?"
"We will be happy to serve you, General."
The two Overseers once again turned into a swarm of bats and left through the window.
General Voss watched the swarm of bats leave and began to think about his next step.
"Lord Voss, are you planning to get rid of those humans?"
The Overseer kneeled on the ground. Based on General Voss's angry attitude, it was hard to believe that this sinful demon would receive those humans in a friendly manner. He must be planning to get rid of them directly.
"This visit is supported by His Majesty Nortline. I don't believe that His Majesty would betray us. He must have been bewitched by the humans." General Voss turned and walked out of the hall. "Killing those humans will put us in danger, but I won't allow their conspiracy to succeed. I will expose them myself!"
The Overseer watched as the huge sinful demon left the hall. The pressure that was so heavy that it made his knees go weak gradually disappeared.
Sinful demons always had a one-track mind. Although General Voss was much smarter than his own kind, he was also extremely distrustful of humans.
"Will the war really end?" The Overseer muttered to himself as he looked at the scratch marks on the wall. Every year, the border fortress of the Underworld would be invaded by humans.
He had also stayed in the border fortress for several decades. The war between the humans and the demons seemed to have no end in sight.
But not long ago, Cersei told all the visitors at the Overseer Council that this could be the beginning of the end of the war.
