Due to the location of the swamp and their unique fighting style, the warriors of the swamp had a special affection for magic beasts. Thorne Southern Heaven could see that Little Gold Lightning was different from the rest.
What made Thorne Southern Heaven especially surprised was that the powerful thunderbird was actually not an adult yet! This was simply an inconceivable matter. It was too miraculous. An illusion, it must be an illusion!
Thorne Southern Heaven suddenly discovered a problem. That thunderbird was similar to his own mount. The strength they possessed couldn't be linked to their age. This kind of phenomenon went against common sense. Thorne Southern Heaven, who was well versed in the habits of all kinds of magic beasts, had never heard of such a phenomenon before.
More importantly, these two mystical magic beasts had some kind of connection with that young man called Raphael, especially his own mount. As long as one wasn't blind, they would be able to see that Raphael had known it for a long time.
Thorne Southern Heaven couldn't help but gnash his teeth. He had gone through untold hardships to obtain his mount, but in the blink of an eye, it had become someone else's pet. Why?!
Han Jin naturally didn't know that it was precisely because of him that Thorne Southern Heaven was in such a miserable mood. At this moment, he was somewhat baffled as he observed this young leader. Why did he look so foolish?
One of the tribe's patriarchs couldn't bear to see Thorne Southern Heaven's soulless appearance any longer. He walked to the side and whispered a few words. Thorne Southern Heaven then reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"Actually, we came here for two purposes. One is to resist the invasion of the Abyss together with you. The other is so that everyone can sit together and carefully discuss the future of the Freedom Federation and the Alliance." When it came to serious matters, Thorne Southern Heaven seemed to become a completely different person. His expression was solemn as he spoke to Kamorach.
"We should sit down and talk," Kamorach agreed. Kemorach agreed. Compared to the invasion of the Abyssal Race, the conflict between the two sides seemed to have become less important. The decades of war had also lost all meaning at this moment.
Under unprecedented pressure, everyone realized that there was only one path to take, and that was to unite and face the outside world together. However, this matter was easy to say, but in reality, it wasn't so simple.
Although they had repelled the abyssal army's attack this time, it did not mean that they had completely won. The crisis still existed. Thorne proposed to negotiate at this time because he wanted to occupy a dominant position in this negotiation.
However, he was not the only one with such thoughts.
"But …" Kyle Morach changed the topic, "The Freedom Federation is now under the jurisdiction of Sir Raphael, so I don't have the right to decide on this matter."
With that, Kyle took a step back and let Han Jin in front of him.
"What?!" Thorne couldn't believe his ears. How could this be?!
The patriarchs of the other tribes were also shocked by this news. After fighting with the Freedom Federation for several decades, they knew better than anyone what kind of strength their opponents possessed.
Could it be that Kemoraki had gone crazy?! He actually handed over such a large territory to a young man. One had to know that the Freedom Federation's wealth had always been coveted by the Tribal Alliance. This time, they had come to reinforce the Freedom Federation in order to resist the invasion of the Abyss, but they had to admit that they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to leave the swamp. Think about it, the Freedom Federation was the first to bear the brunt of the invasion of the Abyss Race. Their military strength was bound to be much weaker than before. Under such circumstances, it should have been very difficult to refuse the Tribal Alliance's request. Or rather, they no longer had the strength to refuse.
However, all of this had been taken away by someone else!
The Tribal Alliance's people immediately looked at Han Jin, trying to figure out something from this young man.
"I don't know what happened between you all." Han Jin smiled and said, "But I think that for now, everyone should put aside their grudges and join forces."
"You mean …" Thorne's expression became vigilant. Everyone present was very clear that joining forces was naturally necessary, but the crux of the problem was how to do so.
"There are some things that are still too early to discuss, isn't it?" Han Jin's smile seemed to contain an indecipherable meaning. "Instead of everyone standing here discussing these unimportant matters, I think it would be better to think about how to deal with the Flame Tyrant Longkor."
Han Jin's words were equivalent to the majority of the people present. Even Kemorach's old face turned red without anyone noticing, and the Tribal Alliance's people revealed expressions of anger.
So you're the only one who cares about the big picture, while we're just a bunch of clowns who only know how to fight for power?! Some things could only be thought about and not spoken out loud. Everyone here was smart, so was there a need to speak so bluntly?
"How can you be so sure that the Flame Tyrant will definitely come?" A tribal chief was the first to speak up.
"Then who do you think will come? Such a large army, it's impossible for there to be no commander. Hmm … Let me think, maybe it'll be Donald. " Kemorach made a show of analyzing the situation. There was no need for Han Jin to refute him. He couldn't charge at the front during a battle, so now was his chance to show off.
The tribal chief was immediately speechless. If it was Donald who came … That was simply too terrifying. The tribal chief refused to let himself think about it any further.
"Even if the Flame Tyrant comes, Lord Raphael shouldn't be afraid, right?" It wasn't clear if it was because Han Jin had 'stolen' his mount, or because he was dissatisfied with Han Jin's attitude, but Thornsouth's words were filled with hostility.
"Did I say I was afraid? I'm just a little worried. " Up until now, whenever Han Jin saw Thornsouth's' cherry lips', he would have the urge to laugh. However, if he really did laugh, it would be too disrespectful. Han Jin could only force himself to hold it in. However, the slight upward curve of his lips revealed a trace of his true thoughts.
Thornsouth barely managed to control himself. "Lord Raphael is someone who can even defeat a Fallen Angel. Dealing with a trifling Flame Tyrant is just a small matter."
"That's true." Han Jin's expression didn't change at all. He was still smiling.
"…" Thornsouth was speechless. Too arrogant! Too arrogant!! However … the other party had the capital to be arrogant. He could only listen.
"Since you can deal with the Flame Tyrant yourself, then what are we doing here? Let's just go back! "A tribal chief couldn't help but say.
"If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. Shut up!" Thornsouth shouted. "The invasion of the Abyss army is a matter for the entire surface race. There's no reason for the Freedom Federation to bear it alone. What we need are partners who can share life and death with us. Remember, I didn't bring you here to be bandits who loot a burning house. If that's what you think, then f * ck off!"
The tribal chief's face turned red from the scolding. He refuted, "I … I didn't say anything!"
"You think you can hide your thoughts from me? You think you can hide it from them? " Thornsouth first pointed at his cherry lips, then at Han Jin. "I know that you're not the only one with such thoughts, but I hope that you can set your sights further. Don't be petty like a woman. If the surface race is defeated in the end, you won't even have a single hair left. What's the point of thinking so much?"
So what if I'm a woman?! Yalina was furious. She glared at Thornsouth fiercely. Unfortunately, this was a three-way meeting, so she couldn't just interrupt. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't let him off.
"Good! Good!! " Han Jin stretched out his hand and patted Thornsouth's shoulder. He admired this great leader more and more. At least he didn't lose himself in the conflict of interests.
"Let's go. We'll talk inside the city," Honduras said in a timely manner.
* * * * *
The Gates of Hell, which had been silent for a long time, changed again. Flames flickered and smoke rolled. A moment later, a thick leg stepped out, followed by a black robe. Then, two straight and sharp horns appeared in the smoke. Finally, a ferocious face appeared.
It was an abyssal great demon. His body was tall and burly. When he stood there with his legs spread apart, he gave off an unshakable feeling. His eyes were different from the other abyssal demons. They were dark, like a bottomless pool. However, the scythe in his hand was a little damaged, as if he had just experienced a thrilling battle.
In a moment, one after another, abyssal great demons appeared one after another. They lined up behind the great demon leader, and there were more than ten of them.
One of the abyssal demons who stayed behind respectfully knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "Your Highness …"
"Where's Leonardo?" The great demon leader glanced around and asked coldly.
"We … we've already lost track of him." The abyssal devil felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"It was a mistake to let you keep an eye on him." The great demon leader sneered and then waved to a long-horned demon nearby.
The long-horned demon walked over in fear. The great demon stretched out his scythe and patted the long-horned demon's shoulder. The long-horned demon immediately understood the other party's meaning. He prostrated himself on the ground with his hands on the ground and straightened his back.
The great demon leader untied his black robe and threw it to the side. Then, he slowly sat down. "How's the battle in front? Where are the princes? "
"It seems … seems … seems to have been defeated." The abyssal demon felt that his tongue was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and it was becoming more and more difficult to speak.
"Seems to have been defeated?" The great demon in the lead sneered again. The defeated abyssal army had already appeared on the horizon in the distance. Everything was self-evident. The great demon narrowed his eyes and asked, "Let me ask you, where are the princes?"
The abyssal demon was tongue-tied. He wanted to say that since he hadn't seen the princes until now, they were probably dead. However, he didn't dare to say it out loud. The prince in front of him had always been known for being cruel and tyrannical. Once he really got angry, he would definitely kill him without any explanation. Moreover, he would kill him for nothing. No one would seek justice for him.
"I understand …" The great demon leader let out a deep sigh. His dark eyes seemed to become moist. Then, he muttered to himself, "Defeated … all defeated … why …"
The Great Demon's head drooped lower and lower. Finally, his gaze fell on his chest. There was a ghastly wound that extended from his left shoulder to his right rib. It looked like a sword wound. If the sword had cut deeper, it would have almost cut him in half from his shoulder to his back!
He didn't know when he had been injured, but the wound still hadn't healed. The torn muscles, countless blood vessels, and green and white veins made one's scalp tingle. What was even more strange was that there were countless stars flickering in the wound. It was like a miniature version of the Milky Way.
"Your Highness, it's great that you've come to support us. Ha … that Raphael is dead for sure!" The abyssal demon pretended to be happy and shouted.
"Me?" The great demon leader's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. "I'm in such a sorry state right now. Can I still fight?"
"Aiya …" The abyssal demon seemed to have just seen the other party's wound. He cried out in alarm, "Your Highness, you're injured?! Quick … Quick, someone come and bandage my Lord's wound … "
Just as a long-horned demon came over, the great demon swung his arm and heavily slapped the long-horned demon's face. The long-horned demon's body was suddenly lifted off the ground and flew dozens of meters away. It fell heavily to the ground and didn't move anymore.
"Idiot, if I could bandage it, I would have done it already," the great demon leader coldly said.
The abyssal demon was given a fright and didn't dare to speak again.
"My Lord, let us go out and find Leonardo," another great demon said in a low voice.
"It's useless. You won't be able to find him." The great demon leader shook his head. "A bastard will always be a bastard! We should have gotten rid of him long ago!! "
"He'll come back sooner or later." The great demon who spoke had a different opinion. "Leonardo is an abyssal demon. The surface races can't accept him. Where can he hide?"
"What if he doesn't hide?" The great demon leader revealed a cold smile.
"Doesn't hide? He … Could it be that he'll defect to Raphael's side? " The great demon who spoke was frightened by his own guess and became dumbfounded. Leonardo was the leader of the Hell Purple Flower. If the head of an intelligence agency defected, it would cause immeasurable damage and losses.
"I said before that bastard Leonardo can't be trusted!" The great demon leader fiercely stabbed his scythe into the ground. "But … But Big Brother is too indecisive!"
"You can't blame His Majesty." Another great demon softly said, "Among the younger generation, Leonardo's ability is the most outstanding, far surpassing the princes. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't have let him control the Hell Purple Flower."
The great demon leader didn't refute. He only revealed an expression of pity and anger. This evaluation wasn't wrong. It could only be blamed on the princes for not being able to live up to expectations. Otherwise, why would Big Brother spend so much effort to raise a bastard?!
"My Lord, what should we do?" A great demon said. "Leonardo knows too many secrets. If he comes into contact with Raphael … The consequences will be unimaginable!"
"What can we do?" the great demon leader said coldly. "Attack Esnorly City?"
"My Lord, we can try …"
"Nonsense!" The great demon leader said sternly. "Big Brother repeatedly said that our mission is only to restrain Raphael!"
"My Lord, His Majesty probably said that because he's worried that we'll be too impulsive. Otherwise, why would he send us here? The Flame Tyrant Loncor is enough to restrain Raphael. Aren't we superfluous? "
The great demon leader closed his eyes. After a long while, he said slowly, "You're right …"
At this moment, the long-horned demon that the great demon leader was sitting on suddenly wailed. Then, a blood-red round mirror appeared in the blood mist. The great demon leader hurriedly jumped up and turned around. He said in shock, "Big Brother, you're continuously releasing …" Before he could finish, he was already stunned. Donald, who appeared in the blood-red round mirror, looked extremely defeated. No one knew if it was because he had exhausted too much energy or because he was worried about the danger his children were in.
"Johnson, is there any news about them?" Donald asked softly.
"Not yet." The great demon leader was stunned. He hurriedly replied without thinking.
Donald's eyes flashed. Obviously, the great demon's expression couldn't escape his observation. Then, the corners of Donald's eyes drooped at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. In just a short time, Donald looked a lot older. After being stunned for a long time, Donald changed the topic. "Where's Leonardo?"
"He's not back yet." Johnson's voice was even lower.
"Johnson, how should I say this …" Donald said faintly. "Today is a disaster for us demons!"
"Big Brother, what's wrong?" Johnson's eyes widened. In his memory, he had never seen his big brother look so disheartened.
"I just saw Hani."
"Second Brother is back?"
"The mission failed. He's also heavily injured." Donald shook his head slowly as he said this.
"How is that possible?" Johnson couldn't help but shout. "Second Brother brought so many people. How could he not be able to deal with Frost Dragon Anqiel?!"
"There's more than one Anqiel," Donald said softly. Donald said softly: "Shozo, Harriet, Contract, Weber of Dragon City, these Guardians are all in Lost Valley, there are also many Dragon City Elders."
"They …" Johnson swallowed his saliva with difficulty. "Are they crazy? Fan Lunding is attacking Dragon City and Dragon Field. Why are they in Lost Valley?! "
"They should be looking for an opportunity to integrate," Donald said. "Don't forget, Frost Dragon Anqiel has a special identity."
Johnson didn't know what to say. The two brothers looked at each other speechlessly.
After a while, Donald broke the silence. "Johnson, our morale has fallen to the lowest point. We can't go on like this. We need a glorious victory!"
"Big Brother, I understand what you mean." Johnson nodded hard.
"No, you don't understand …" Donald said softly. "I'm talking about …"
