In the castle, Lan Ling received Elder Di En, the younger brother of the Heaven Killing King.
Seeing this Elder Dean, Lan Ling could not help but feel slightly startled because he looked too much like a human.
On the contrary, although Lan Ling was incomparably handsome and was regarded as the supreme leader of the human race, he did not belong to any race at all. The characteristics of the demon race, the human race, and the human race could all be found on him.
Tyne could tell at a glance that this person was a member of the Humanoid Tribe, and a member of the Humanoid Tribe that was very close to the human race.
Seeing Lan Ling's gaze, Elder Di En smiled and said, "I do have the same father and mother as His Majesty, the Heaven Killing King. However, perhaps because my father's bloodline is too diverse, my elder brother is a typical demon, while I am very much like a human. I know that the Flame Demon Flag is the motherland of all humans, so Your Excellency Flame Demon Monarch can also be called my leader. "
Just this sentence alone was enough to make people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
Di En was a humble and gentle man. Currently, the Celestial Slaying Race was the absolute overlord of the Demon Realm. As the Celestial Slaying King's younger brother, his status was almost the same as the other Demon Kings. He was much higher than Lan Ling, but he had said that as a member of the human race, he should also be Lan Ling's citizen.
After joking around, Elder Dien said, "May I ask the Flame Demon Monarch a question?"
Lan Ling said, "Please!"
Elder Di En said, "When I secretly entered the territory of the Flame Demon Flag, I noticed that this place had undergone a tremendous change compared to the other territories of the Devil Race. Especially around Flame Demon City, there were endless pastures and fertile fields, as well as countless chimneys that emitted air. All of this is so unfamiliar. Does the Flame Demon Monarch want to completely subvert the way of life of the Demon Race and transform their civilization? "
Lan Ling said, "It's not really a transformation of civilization. You also know that the human race's strengths are intelligence, hard work, and loyalty. They are lacking in military strength, but their ability is to build, not destroy. And my Flaming Demon Flag is the motherland of all humans, so of course we have to give them a place of use. "
Elder Dien said, "You abandoned the demon race's tradition of hunting and turned to farming and weaving. Are you trying to learn from the human kingdom?"
"No, it's not …" Lan Ling said, "My Flame Demon Flag looks like a human kingdom, but it's not at all."
The current human kingdom could be considered a semi-feudal monarchy. Other than the Dragon Temple looming over their heads, it was not much different from ancient China.
On the other hand, Lan Ling's Flame Demon Flag was extremely complicated. It was like a primitive society, but also like a centralized monarchy, and also like a socialist system.
Under Lan Ling's command, everyone focused their efforts on something important. They did not care about rewards or personal interests. All they had was the boundless passion for construction.
Of course, this kind of selfless fighting passion would not last forever. At most, it would last for a decade or so. If Lan Ling could stimulate them with continuous victories and glory, this kind of selfless fighting passion could last for twenty to thirty years.
But in the end, this selfless passion would surely cool down. When that time came, they would need to use the desire for benefits as motivation to drive the growth of the entire empire.
But this kind of selfless fighting passion would last for a decade or so.
In fact, the results of construction in the next decade or so would surpass those of the past few hundred years. It would be enough for the Balrog Empire to stand tall and even become extremely powerful.
At this moment, Lan Ling really felt that time waited for no man. If he was allowed to quietly farm and develop, he didn't need a huge territory. Two million square kilometers, two million humans, and twenty million Rakshasa people would be enough.
In a decade or so, Lan Ling could build an absolutely powerful empire. With the civilization difference, he could sweep across the entire demon territory and unify the demon race.
The so-called civilization difference was not only about cannons, warships, and so on.
More importantly, it was the research on the demon race's bloodline, crystal energy, and mysterious energy. Just like the Demon Laboratory in the Dragon Temple, they could mass-produce powerful demon soldiers such as the Ghost Ray Flying Mounts and the Centaurs. They could modify the Star Magic Meteorites and create brand new strategic weapons of mass destruction.
The current Star Magic Meteorites were too terrifying. Once they were dropped, not even a blade of grass would grow. The entire area would instantly become a forbidden zone for life.
Then was there a way to modify it and create a type of Star Power that would only destroy the troops on the ground, but not the vitality of the land, the plants, and so on? Moreover, it would devour the vitality over a long period of time and turn it into an instant explosion. It would be even more perfect.
As for the theoretical research on this, Lan Ling had already started, but he was still very, very far away from the results.
In short, given ten to twenty years, Lan Ling was confident that he could sweep across the world with the power of the Fiery Demon Flag.
However, reality did not give him this opportunity. The biggest civil war in the demon territory was about to break out, and the Fiery Demon Flag would definitely be involved.
Elder Dien did not continue this topic. Instead, he smiled and said, "Fiery Demon Lord, do you know that the war was about to break out a few days ago? However, because of your Primordial Age, His Majesty delayed the plan to attack the Demon Alliance. "
As soon as this was said, Lan Ling's hair stood on end. He sucked in a breath of cold air.
He was not flattered. Rather, he felt uneasy. It was like he was being targeted by a demon.
Being targeted by a super big boss like the Heaven Killer King was not good at all.
Elder Dien said, "Because His Majesty might change his battle plan because of the Fiery Demon Lord."
Please don't, please don't!
Once the Heaven Killer King changed his battle plan, the Rakshasa Crown Prince would be finished. Lan Ling's previous efforts would be wasted, and he would have to start from scratch.
Therefore, the key lay in this conversation.
He had to let the Heaven Killer King feel that Lan Ling was not as threatening as the Six Great Demon Lords. Otherwise, he would really change his direction and attack the Rakshasa Tribe directly, even though they had the scariest line of defense in the world.
Moreover, he had to let the Heaven Killer King feel that although Lan Ling was a great threat, he could send a few assassins to kill him at any time. There was no need to mobilize his troops and change his strategy.
He had to let the Heaven Killer King know how powerful Lan Ling was, but he also had to let him know that Lan Ling's power had a bottleneck.
It was very difficult to grasp this scale.
Lan Ling could not help but be on high alert. His brain was working very fast.
This was completely a battle of wits.
Although this Elder Dien in front of him was gentle and humble, like a spring breeze, every word he spoke was filled with killing intent. Every step he took was as if he was walking through an abyss.
Of course, only someone as smart and sensitive as Lan Ling could instantly get so much information from just one sentence from Elder Dien and think of a way to deal with it.
Elder Dien said, "Sir Lan Ling, can I ask you a question?"
Lan Ling said, "Go ahead."
Elder Dien asked, "What is your dream? What is your goal?"
This sentence was filled with absolute killing intent.
If Lan Ling's goals and ideals were very ambitious, beyond what the Heaven Killer King could give him, it meant that Lan Ling could not be tamed. He could only be killed.
Right now, if Heaven Killer King wanted to kill Lan Ling, he would definitely be able to do it. He would truly be able to kill Lan Ling completely, from her soul to her body, such that she would never be able to be reborn again.
Moreover, Lan Ling could not lie. If he did, the Elder Dien in front of him would instantly sense it. This had nothing to do with Spiritual Energy. It was about wisdom.
"My ideals come from my strength. The greater my strength, the greater my goal," Lan Ling said.
This was the truth.
After Elder Dien confirmed that this was the truth, he quickly made an assessment.
Then, Elder Dien said, "The Fire Demon King's cultivation is advancing rapidly. It is a miracle! In just a few months, he has risen from a Great Demon Warrior to the peak of the Devil Grandmaster. I have never seen or heard of such a thing. Even the late King Iceman did not have such a miracle! "
This sentence was filled with even more killing intent.
Elder Dien wanted to assess how strong Lan Ling could become in the future. Would he surpass the Heaven Killer King and Tigné?
If he could, then he would not hesitate to kill him.
Lan Ling frowned and said, "Must I answer?"
Dien said, "I really want to know."
Lan Ling said, "The ruins of the Misfortune Demon Capital."
Elder Dien thought for a while and nodded.
Elder Dien said, "Is the Fire Demon King willing to join the united front of the Demon Empire?"
Lan Ling said, "What conditions?"
Elder Dien said, "His Majesty will betroth Princess Di Ning to you. After the Demon Empire is established, His Majesty will confer titles to the six Princes. You will be one of them, the Fire Demon Prince!"
Lan Ling was shocked. The capital that the Heaven Killer King had set was too great!
Now, Lan Ling was just a Demon Flag Owner. Although he had defeated the Sky Demon Flag, he had indeed relied on the Skeleton Corps. The truth about the Death Warriors under his command was still an absolute mystery.
In order to keep it a secret, Lan Ling had even sent the 5,000 disciples of the Misfortune Cave Abode into the Mirror Demon King's world. All of them had their memories erased.
Now, Lan Ling had not revealed many of his trump cards yet. The Heaven Killer King was willing to betroth Princess Di Ning to him and give her the position of a Prince in the future.
Elder Dien stared at Lan Ling's reaction and realized that he was not faking it.
Obviously, the conditions that the Heaven Killer King had offered also shocked Lan Ling. This made Elder Dien's murderous intent subside a little.
"What do you think?" Elder Dien said, "His Majesty values the Fire Demon King very much. Sir Lan Ling, please join the united front of the Demon Empire and fight alongside the great His Majesty and Princess Tigné."
Lan Ling said, "If I agree, what do I have to do?"
Elder Dien said, "Start a rebellion and destroy the Blue Demon Flag and the Blood Demon Flag. Continue to expand within the Demon Race."
This condition sounded wonderful. Lan Ling could take advantage of the chaos of the Demon Race to expand and increase his power.
However, in reality, this condition was poisonous and harbored evil intentions.
Once Lan Ling agreed, he would start a rebellion and attack the Blue Demon Flag and the Blood Demon Flag. Then, the Heaven Killer King would attack the Demon Race. He would not attack the Demon Race. He would even destroy the Demon Race.
What would happen then?
The Demon King would surrender to the Heaven Killer King and gather all his forces to destroy Lan Ling. His creed had always been that in order to resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation.
In this way, the Heaven Killer King could easily get rid of two potential opponents. He could just sit back and watch the tigers fight. Whoever won between Lan Ling and the Demon King would be qualified to surrender to the Heaven Killer King.
"No!" Lan Ling said.
Elder Dien said, "Why?"
Lan Ling said, "I'm paying too much, but the risk is too great. If I agree, His Majesty the Heaven Killer King can destroy the Demon Race's armed forces effortlessly. The Demon King and I will fight to the death. Even if I win in the future, the Fiery Demon Flag will be on the verge of death. The Heaven Killer King will have already unified the entire Demon Empire. By then, even if I marry Princess Di Ning and become a king, I will only be half a piece of trash. I won't be of any use. "
Hearing this, Elder Dien was slightly stunned. He was surprised that Lan Ling could think so quickly. He could see through the risks in one look.
Elder Dien said, "Then what are your conditions? What will make you willing to be loyal to His Majesty the Heaven Killer King? "
Lan Ling said, "Marry Princess Tigné to me and make me the deputy commander of the Demon Empire's united front. Then, your main army will head south to attack the Demon Race's defense line, while I will head north to attack the Demon King City. Our two armies will attack from the north and south. Within a few months, we will be able to destroy the Demon Race! After conquering the Demon Territory, hand it over to me. Within a few months, I will be able to gather an army of ten million and head south to destroy the Cloud Calamity Clan. I will be able to destroy two of the six Demon Clans. "
Hearing Lan Ling's words, Elder Dien's face twitched. Then he smiled and said, "Flame Demon King, do you know that the Heaven Killer Crown Prince will only be made a king in the future? The future throne of the Demon Empire will be passed to Princess Tigné. You actually want to marry Princess Tigné?"
Lan Ling said, "Can't I? If I have that ability, I can naturally become the future husband of Empress Tigné and the future Regent of the Demon Empire. If I don't have that ability, I will already be dead. I won't be causing trouble for the Heaven Killer King. "
Elder Dien said, "I feel that our conditions are already extremely generous. However, we have still underestimated the Flame Demon King's ambition and appetite."
Lan Ling said, "I really can't bear to betray the Young Demon King and Princess Sha Yan."
Elder Dien's face twitched again. He said, "Is there no room for negotiation?"
"No." Lan Ling said, "I will not agree to His Majesty the Heaven Killer King's conditions. The risks and benefits are not proportionate. If you want me to take such a huge risk, you must betroth Princess Tigné to me. My conditions may seem very ridiculous now, but don't forget that in just one or two years, I went from nothing to the Flame Demon Flag Lord. Moreover, I have also exterminated the Heavenly Demon Clan. Perhaps you still don't know? I have just completely annihilated the Doom Cave Abode and killed more than a thousand strong martial artists sent by the five Venerable Ones. Therefore, I feel that I am completely qualified to propose to Princess Tigné! "
Following that, Lan Ling took out the most luxurious Crystal Scroll.
He took out the most frightening pen and was about to write a marriage proposal.
What was the most frightening pen? The tip of the pen was made of Starry Sky Magic Meteorite. The words written with this pen were completely permanent. If someone with a low cultivation level wrote a word, their vitality would be cut off. Even looking at a word would kill them.
Lan Ling used the Starry Sky Magic Meteorite Pen and wrote on the Crystal Scroll:
Dear Princess Tigné, please marry me. I will conquer the entire Demon Empire for you. I want you to become the Empress of the Demon Empire.
Signed: Flame Demon King Lan Ling.
Every word was like a black hole engraved, releasing a terrifying energy aura, crazily devouring all the vitality in the surroundings.
The handwriting was very beautiful. It had the elegance of a woman, but also a crazy murderous aura.
After writing, Lan Ling hurriedly put this terrifying black hole pen into a special Crystal Scroll. Then, he handed this special marriage proposal scroll to Elder Dien.
Elder Dien held this special marriage proposal scroll and immediately felt a trace of vitality in his body flowing towards the black hole characters on the marriage proposal scroll.
Without a doubt, this Flame Demon King in front of him was a madman.
Lan Ling said: "Elder Dien, help me personally give this marriage proposal to Princess Tigné. If she agrees, sign the marriage proposal and announce it to the world. I will immediately mobilize my troops to attack Rakshasa City. If I go against it, let the Gods And Demons send me to the eighteenth level of hell, never to rise again! "
