Lan Ling wiped out six demonic flag families, not six demonic flag territories. Furthermore, he didn't send troops to occupy any of the territories.
Why?
Because it was completely unnecessary!
Right now, he didn't have enough manpower on hand. Even managing the Flame Demon Flag was a stretch. Furthermore, a million square kilometers was more than enough for him to use for the time being.
Most importantly, it was easy to wipe out a demonic flag owner's family, but how difficult would it be to conquer a demonic flag territory?
The commoners of the demon race were bloodthirsty. It was easy to kill them all, but it was too difficult to make them swear loyalty to you.
Furthermore, Lan Ling wiped out five demonic flag families this time. Apart from capturing 3,000 martial artists, he also captured tens of thousands of winged cavalry warriors, over 500,000 war horses, over 30,000 demonic leopards, and so on.
These results needed to be digested.
Once they were fully armed, Lan Ling's Flaming Demon Flag would have over seven thousand Death Warriors, seven thousand Ghost Ray Army, ten thousand Air Army, thirty thousand Centaurs, one hundred and twenty thousand Demon Leopard Army, a few hundred thousand cavalry, and over a million infantry.
In order to feed these demonic leopards and war horses, Lan Ling had to seize nearly 800,000 square kilometers of territory from the neighboring Blood Demon Flag, Blue Demon Flag, and Red Demon Flag to use as a pasture for the war horses and a hunting ground for the demonic leopards.
As for how he ceded these demonic flag territories?
It was very simple. For thousands of years, the Black Demon Flag and the three neighboring demonic flags must have had conflicts and territorial disputes.
He found a piece of information in a corner that proved that this land once belonged to the Black Demon Flag a few hundred years ago. The Fiery Demon Flag was responsible for inheriting all the territories of the Black Demon Flag, so it ceded it.
As for the people of this land, it would be great if they were willing to submit to me, Lan Ling. If they were unwilling to submit or leave, then don't blame me for being merciless. I'll capture all of them and let the Mirror Demon King devour their mental strength and turn them into its mental slaves. Furthermore, they wouldn't be devoured into walking corpses. They would still have a bit of consciousness left, and they could do the simplest repetitive labor, such as mining stones, digging mud, and so on.
There were more than 1,500,000 Rakshasa people captured by Lan Ling. After the Mirror Demon King devoured these people's mental power, they all became laborers at the bottom. They worked hard every day to help Lan Ling build the city and open up the fields.
Therefore, after "reasonable and legal" cession, Lan Ling's territory expanded from more than 1.1 million square kilometers to two million square kilometers.
The population increased from 11 million to 15 million.
This was because the Rakshasa people were terrified of Lan Ling, so they released the human slaves in their territories. In fact, the Cloud Calamity Clan had released almost all of their human slaves.
It had been a few months since Lan Ling had defeated Celestial Demon Emperor. The number of humans Lan Ling had liberated, plus the number of humans released by all the demon flags, was more than two million.
At this time, the total number of humans in Lan Ling's Flaming Demon Flag territory had reached 3.5 million.
This number was much more than what he had expected. He didn't expect that there were so many chieftains and Devil Flag Families that were raising human slaves.
However, it was obvious that the number of 3.5 million would not increase by much.
It should be known that the highest number of humans in the entire northern wilderness was more than two to three hundred million.
Yet now, there were only three million and five hundred thousand. It was truly one in a hundred. How tragic was this?
However, 3.5 million humans were almost enough to support the construction of Lan Ling's Balrog Empire in the future.
…
The Mirror Demon King felt stronger than ever. For seven days and seven nights, it devoured the mental power of 1.5 million Rakshasa people.
However, it was a little unhappy.
This was because Eros used this energy to duplicate a new Mirror Demon King's mental energy body.
Life could not be duplicated. Only mental programs could be duplicated.
Eros could not be duplicated, but the Mirror Demon King could.
At first, the Mirror Demon King felt that it was a real Demon King. Later, it took a step back and felt that it was the shadow of the Ancient Demon Emperor, a noble individual.
At this time, it was duplicated in two.
Therefore, it had to admit that it was just a mental program, similar to those magic skill scrolls.
Of course, using modern Earth as an analogy. Those magic skill scrolls were equivalent to a computer program. And the Mirror Demon King was an artificial intelligence. Everyone was a program, but the artificial intelligence was much more advanced. For example, AlphaGo could even defeat the world's number one Go player.
Moreover, under the modification of Eros, the Mirror Demon King had another function that defied the natural order.
That was to directly control its mental slaves. It could precisely control them to fight, work, live, and so on.
This was too terrifying. The previous Mirror Demon King could only create illusions and make people walk into the trap.
But now, the Mirror Demon King could control every mental slave like a mainframe controlling a robot.
Just like how Lan Ling controlled the Death Warriors to fight, it was one against ten.
However, to duplicate four Mirror Demon Kings, the energy was far from enough. The mental power devoured by 1.5 million Rakshasa people was still not enough.
Therefore, Lan Ling made up his mind and sent the Ghost Ray Knights, Centaur Legion, and Magic Leopard Legion to capture adult strong men in the surrounding demonic flag territories to become the mental slaves of the Mirror Demon King.
There was no doubt that this was evil and dark!
Lan Ling's future Balrog Empire was also destined to be built on evil and darkness.
…
"Boom, boom, boom, boom …"
The sky was shrouded in blood-colored clouds as blood-colored lightning struck wildly.
This situation had lasted for four days and four nights.
The sky above Lan Ling's head was dark as if it was the end of the world.
After four days and four nights, everything was calm.
Lan Ling had devoured all the Demonic Bloodlines of more than three thousand captives.
This time, he had accumulated an astronomical amount of energy again. Using this energy, he promoted 19 centaur leaders to Demonic Grandmasters, 9 near-humans to peak Demonic Grandmasters, and 10 Rakshasas to peak MCMAU Grandmasters.
He promoted Princess Sha Yan to peak Demonic Grandmasters and Yoon Hi-hee to peak MCMAU Grandmasters.
The fourth Mirror Demon King's mental energy body had been duplicated and stored in a Crystal Magic Mirror. It was brought to North Peace City along with its 400,000 mental slaves.
These mental slaves were the perfect builders.
The 400,000 mental slaves in Balrog City had been working for three days. Their efficiency had more than doubled.
Presently, every day, Flame Devil City was undergoing tremendous changes.
…
It was one day and one night after the Ground Demon King's defeat!
The three thousand corpses on the ground of Balrog City had been revived and turned into complete bodies.
Then, they got up one by one and came before Lan Ling. They kowtowed and knelt. "Greetings, Master!"
At this point, Lan Ling's Death Warriors had increased to 7,800.
Demon Venerable powerhouses, 49.
Demon Grandmaster powerhouses, 551.
Peak Demonic Martial Grandmaster powerhouses, 7,200.
This force could almost dominate the entire Rakshasa territory.
…
A few days ago, at the Northern Palace of the Rakshasa's defense line.
The news of the Ground Demon King's defeat and annihilation had yet to arrive. The Fiend Alliance still thought that the Ground Demon King's defense line was secure. As long as the Ground Demon King led three million elites into the Ground Demon King's defense line, they could turn the tide of the battle.
However, to Devil King, he was furious.
This was because the vicious Lan Ling had sent over three more heads. They were the Red Demon Lord, the Spirit Demon Lord, and the Doom Demon Lord.
Of course, there were also secret letters from the three of them about colluding with the Heaven Demon King. They were exactly the same as the Crown Prince's.
The Devil King was real. His energy aura was also real. It was just that what was written was fake.
This time, the Devil King did not vomit blood. It was just that his body did not have any warmth.
Out of his thirteen Demonic Flag Clans, six had been wiped out by Lan Ling. Now, only six remained intact.
Furthermore, it was no longer possible to frame the Crown Prince with secret letters about colluding with the Heaven Demon King. Six Demon Lords and dozens of secret letters had made this method a complete joke.
Xi Ting said, "Your Majesty, we really have to make a decision on what to do."
The Devil King said coldly, "No one can think of changing my decision. The Crown Prince will still be deposed. Lan Ling will still have to be wiped out. If Lan Ling has the ability, he can kill the remaining six Demon Lords as well. Put them all on the charge of colluding with the Heaven Demon King. "
Xi Ting said, "That's impossible. These six Demon Lords are all around you. They are all at the northern defense line."
"That's right …" The Devil King said, "Lan Ling is at his wit's end. Just ignore him."
"But … he still has to be dealt with," Xi Ting said.
The Devil King said, "The Earth Demon King is leading three million elites and will soon be stationed at the Earth Demon Race's defense line. By then, the entire Earth Demon Race's defense line will have eight million soldiers. "Previously, the Earth Demon Race's defense line only had three million soldiers. Even Tigné could not break through it. It's even more impossible now. "Therefore, we will enter a tug-of-war with the Heaven Demon King and enter a new period of stability. "I will request the six Demon Races to form the Flame Extermination Army at the Demon Race's Alliance. They will gather six million soldiers. In addition to the five Demon Venerable factions in the Devil Race's territory, 32 martial arts factions, and a few thousand top-notch experts, it will be enough to wipe out Lan Ling's Flaming Demon Flag ten times over."
Xi Ting said, "You want the six Demon Races to attack Lan Ling together? I'm afraid you'll have to pay a huge price? "
The Devil King said coldly, "I'm willing to pay any price. Even if I have to cede territory, even if I have to give up my position as the next Demon Race's Alliance Leader, I'll agree to it. As long as I tear that bastard Lan Ling into pieces and wipe out his entire clan."
Following that, the Devil King slammed the table and said, "So what if you, Lan Ling, killed six of our Demon Lords? There will be new clans taking their place. At most, I'll confer these territories to the Elders Council. At most, I'll confer them to members of the royal family. There are many experts there. "So what if I turn the entire Devil Race's territory into ruins? 3,000 years ago, the Devil Race was nearly wiped out. We were trampled on by the Ghost King Empire for over a hundred years."
Then, the Devil King stood on the balcony and looked at the sky. His hair and beard fluttered, looking awe-inspiring.
"No matter what price I have to pay, I'll wipe out Lan Ling's clan!" the Devil King roared.
Military Advisor Xi Ting stepped forward and said, "Then, what about the Crown Prince?"
"He'll still be confined." The Devil King said, "Eliminate Lan Ling first, then eliminate the Crown Prince!"
As long as the Demon Race Alliance and the Demon Race Empire's united front fell into a tug of war, it would be too easy to eliminate the Crown Prince.
At this moment, the Devil King understood that only by eliminating Lan Ling could he safely eliminate the Crown Prince.
After a series of blows, he finally changed his strategy and switched the order between the Crown Prince and Lan Ling.
Military Advisor Xi Ting looked at the Devil King with some surprise.
The Devil King in front of him really made him look at him in a different light.
In the face of Lan Ling's series of fatal blows, the Devil King was determined not to compromise, nor did he take the path of mutual destruction.
He chose another path, but it was still within the scope of mutual destruction.
He only had one pot lid, so he couldn't hold down both the Crown Prince and Lan Ling at the same time.
Therefore, he chose to borrow external forces and let the six major Demon Races form a six-million-strong army to eliminate Lan Ling!
If the Rakshasa King and the Tigné Army really fell into a tug of war, there was no doubt that this plan would work.
The main force that the six major Demon Races could gather was more than 40 to 50 million.
Currently, the Rakshasa Race had deployed more than 10 million troops at the Rakshasa Race's defense line. It wouldn't be difficult to gather another six-million-strong army. Moreover, there were all the martial arts forces of the Rakshasa Race and the martial arts forces that the five major Demon Races had supported. With this force, it was really possible to eliminate Lan Ling.
However, the Devil King would pay an astronomical price.
He would cede territory, give up his share of crystals, give up his position as the leader of the Demon Race Alliance, fall to the last place in the Demon Race Alliance, turn the entire Rakshasa Race's territory into ruins, and so on.
This price couldn't be described as painful, nor could it be described as severe injuries. He might even lose half his life.
However, even so, the Devil King wasn't willing to compromise with Lan Ling.
If he succeeded, he could really eliminate Lan Ling's Fiery Demon Flag territory. Lan Ling's Fiery Demon Flag would become ruins, and all the humans near him would be killed. Other than a small number of Death Warriors, his entire army, including the Centaur Army, would be annihilated.
On a certain level, the Devil King was indeed extremely tough and resolute. For his reputation and prestige, he could pay any price.
Actually, this was quite impressive.
…
After deciding on the strategy, the Devil King immediately went to persuade the other four Demon Kings.
The process was very smooth, as the benefits that the Devil King offered were too generous.
The four Demon Kings all agreed that once they occupied the Demon Race Alliance and entered a tug of war, they would immediately form a six-million-strong army to eliminate Lan Ling and eliminate his entire race.
However …
The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The Devil King was destined to be tragic.
After only one day, the pathetic Devil King escaped back to the Rakshasa Race's defense line with only a few hundred people.
He brought with him a shocking piece of bad news!
The Devil King's defense line had completely fallen. The three million elite reinforcements that he led had been completely annihilated.
However, this bad news was only the beginning.
A few days later, an even worse piece of news arrived.
The Devil King City had fallen, and almost all the Fiery Demon Flag Owners of the Rakshasa Race's territory knelt down and surrendered to Princess Tigné.
This meant that the Rakshasa Race was completely annihilated!
In less than half a month, the Demon Race Alliance had lost ten million soldiers, and the strongest Rakshasa Race had been annihilated.
This meant that the Devil King's plan had completely failed. He was truly on the path of no return!
The Devil King's hair turned white overnight!
