Now, the five Demon Kings of the Demon Alliance had given up all hope. They were just waiting to surrender.
They felt that the Heaven Killer King was undefeatable. Moreover, they were all demons. After surrendering, they would still enjoy wealth.
Therefore, almost all the five Demon Kings were in cahoots with the Heaven Killer Crown Prince and even the Heaven Killer Imperial City.
However, none of them had publicly surrendered yet.
This was because the people of the Devil Race's territory were too strong-willed. Most of them would rather die than surrender, and would rather die than submit. As a Demon King, if they surrendered first, their reputation would be ruined.
Everyone was waiting for the first person to surrender to appear. Then, they would follow.
The Heaven Killer King did not receive any emissaries from the Demon Alliance, but the Heaven Killer Crown Prince did. He gave them an ultimatum. They had to surrender in ten days. Otherwise, another Demon Clan would be exterminated. The surviving four Demon Clans were anxious.
The only one who was unwilling to surrender and wanted to fight to the end was Crown Prince Yun E.
This thirty-three-year-old Crown Prince had lived a hellish life.
In the short span of a dozen days, he had lost everything. He had lost his father, four brothers, two sisters, five uncles, and the entire Cloud Devastation Clan's territory.
He had become the new head of the Cloud Disaster Family. He had escaped to the Devil Palace with his two sisters, his mother, and 1,500 martial artists.
He had hoped that he would be the one to die in the Cloud Disaster Imperial City instead of his father.
First, he had loved and respected his father. Second, he could not afford to be accused of being a coward.
But his father had knocked him unconscious. When he woke up, the Cloud Disaster Clan had already been exterminated. He was already in the Devil Palace.
When he woke up, he looked at his mother, who looked like an old woman. He looked at his two pale sisters.
After learning that the Cloud Disaster Clan had been exterminated and his father had died, Crown Prince Yun E was in a daze. He did not cry. He could not cry.
He hugged his mother and sisters. Then, he knelt in front of the Devil Palace.
He knelt there for six days and six nights. He did not move. He did not eat or drink.
Every fifteen minutes, he shouted, "Requesting the Demon Alliance to send troops to take back the Cloud Disaster Clan."
Every time he shouted, the entire Devil Palace could be heard.
After a few days and nights, his hair was like withered grass. His lips were cracked and his handsome face was like the bark of a tree. Blood started to flow from his mouth.
However, there was nothing.
This was because the five Demon Kings had all lost their will to fight, including the Killer Ground King. Before the battle with the Cloud Calamity Clan, he had been shouting every day that he would send out troops to recapture the Ground Buddha Race. Now, he no longer shouted. In fact, he almost never appeared.
Now, the five Demon Kings were thinking about how to surrender. No one wanted to continue fighting, much less take back the Cloud Disaster Tribe.
In just a month, the Demon Race Alliance had been completely defeated. They already felt that the united front of the Demon Race Empire was invincible. Their backbone had been broken.
…
One day, the Netherworld Prince came to Prince Yun E and said, "Prince Yun E, you should go to Rakshasa City to find Brother Wang of Tang. He is your brother-in-law, and he is the only savior of our Demon Race Alliance. At that time, everyone was wrong. He was the only one who had seen through the Heaven Killer King's plot. Moreover, his expeditionary army had resisted Princess Tigné's army. Go and beg him. Kneel in front of his door and beg him to save your Cloud Calamity Clan. "
After Prince Yun E heard this, he stared coldly at the Netherworld Prince. Then, he stood up, spat out a mouthful of blood, and turned to leave. He did not say a word to the Netherworld Prince.
He only felt extremely disgusted. At that moment, he had truly lost all hope.
Of course, he would not go and find the Young Devil King.
The Young Devil King was his brother-in-law, and Ni Shang was his sister who was closest to him. However, his relationship with the Young Devil King was not good. They were like enemies. More accurately, Prince Yun E saw the Young Devil King as an enemy.
He hated the Young Devil King, even though he had not done anything wrong to him. However, the Young Devil King looked down on him.
Just this reason was enough for Prince Yun E to view the Young Devil King as an enemy.
Who do you think you are? What right do you have to look down on me?
In reality, Prince Yun E was overthinking. The Young Devil King looked down on almost everyone. Therefore, the Netherworld Prince wanted to kill him. Elder Mokan hated him to the core. Even the Young Devil King hated his own son.
This was because when the Young Devil King looked at you, not only did he seem to see through your guts and spirit, he could easily see the ugliness, evil, and lowliness in your heart. Therefore, his gaze seemed to be filled with disdain and sarcasm.
In reality, the Young Devil King was not like that. This kind of arrogance was innate.
However, this was not the reason why Prince Yun E did not go and find the Young Devil King. It was because he saw through the evil intentions of the Netherworld Prince and the Devil King. He saw through their plot to kill the Young Devil King with a borrowed knife.
The Cloud Calamity Royal Family participated in the northern defense line of the Cloud Calamity Clan. He knew that the Tian Sha Crown Prince was very, very powerful, but at least he was not invincible.
Although the Cloud Calamity Clan had lost the battle twelve days ago, Prince Yun E did not know the casualties of the Tian Sha Crown Prince. However, he felt that the Tian Sha Crown Prince's casualties were not small.
Therefore, there was still a chance to gather all the remaining forces of the Demon Alliance to fight. He naturally placed all his hopes on the Demon Alliance.
However, the Netherworld Prince and the Devil King actually wanted to kill him with a borrowed knife. How could this not dishearten Prince Yun E?
Let the Young Devil King take back the Cloud Calamity Royal City? This was an extremely ridiculous joke. How many soldiers did the Young Devil King have? A few hundred thousand was amazing.
The Netherworld Prince and the Devil King raised the Young Devil King so high just to let him fall to his death.
At a time like this, the Devil King only wanted to kill his own son. How could this not make people despair?
Now, Prince Yun E somewhat understood why the Devil King always looked down on others. Such a dirty heart, if he could see through it, he would also look down on it.
There was no hope for the Demon Alliance. Prince Yun E returned to his mother and sister's residence and said, "Let's go …"
Queen Yun E asked, "Where to?"
Prince Yun E said, "Wherever can help us return to the Cloud Calamity Clan, we will go there. There is no hope for the Demon Alliance anymore. Go to the Demon Kingdom, anywhere else is fine. "
…
The Demon Alliance Conference was held once again.
However, this time, only the five Demon Kings attended. The Cloud Calamity King was forever absent.
In the usual Demon Alliance Conference, the Demon Kings would fight to be the first to speak, desperately fighting for any benefits. But the current Devil Race Alliance Conference was completely a rambling chatter.
When no one talked about sending troops, no one talked about the united front against the Demon Kingdom. On the contrary, everyone talked about the history of the Demon Kingdom and the glory of the Demon Kingdom.
There was only one meaning in their words. The world divided for a long time must be united, united for a long time must be divided.
The Southern Wilderness had been divided for so many years, it was time to be united again. Only when the entire Southern Wilderness was united could they resist the Demon Kingdom in the north and the Dragon Temple further north.
Of course, these were all true words, but saying them in this situation was especially disgusting.
The signal of the five Demon Kings' surrender was already very clear.
After each Demon King talked about the glorious history of the Demon Kingdom and the necessity of unity, it fell into silence again.
This was because the topic of today's Demon Alliance Conference was not this, but to kill with a borrowed knife, sending the young Demon King to his death.
Last night, the Demon King had already spoken to each Demon King in private, so the vote at the conference was just a ceremony.
After an awkward silence for a long time, the Demon King stood up and said, "Our Demon Alliance is already in a critical situation, and our lives are hanging by a thread. If we don't put up a final resistance, we will really be destroyed. We need to choose a wise and powerful person to be the commander of the allied forces to resist the evil army of the Demon Kingdom. "
This world was really ridiculous. Just now, they were talking about surrendering, and now they were talking about resistance.
And it was actually the Demon King. He was the leader of the Demon Alliance, but after losing his own territory, he actually had to speak up for the Demon King. How sad.
The five Demon Kings all nodded in agreement. Therefore, the elders of the various races, the Demon Flag Owners, and the princes of the various territories all nodded in agreement.
The Demon King continued, "I have enough information to show that the next target of the Demon Kingdom's united front is the Lingsha Tribe. Once the Lingsha Tribe is destroyed, our Demon Alliance will lose half of its territory and is destined to be destroyed. Therefore, in order to protect the Demon Alliance, we have to protect the Lingsha Tribe. "
The Lingsha Tribe was located by the sea in the southeast. To the north were countless mountains and countless demons. To the south was the Witch Kingdom's territory. It was a completely secluded territory. It could be said that the Lingsha Tribe was the least important among the six major demon races. Now, from the Demon King's words, protecting the Lingsha Tribe was equivalent to protecting the Demon Alliance.
The Demon King said, "I don't know if everyone still remembers, but back then, everyone thought that the Heaven Demon King would attack the Rakshasa Tribe. Only the Young Rakshasa King insisted that the Heaven Demon King's target was the Rakshasa Tribe. In the end, he was right. Moreover, the 200,000-strong expeditionary army he sent actually stalled Princess Tigné's army for four days and four nights. "It was my Demon King Crown Prince who was muddle-headed and offended this expeditionary army, causing them to leave in a fit of anger. This caused the Rakshasa Tribe's defense line to fall. This shows how strong this expeditionary army of the Young Rakshasa King is. "
Everyone present had a strange expression on their faces, but they all nodded.
Was that the truth? Princess Tigné had stopped the battle because she couldn't bear to see her own army suffer huge casualties. The Winged Race had only suffered about 300 casualties before she gave the order to stop the attack.
If Princess Tigné had wholeheartedly attacked, not to mention the Young Rakshasa King's 200,000-strong expeditionary army, even if there were more than two million of them, they would still be annihilated.
Moreover, the Heaven Demon King Crown Prince was different from Princess Tigné. He didn't care about any casualties at all.
The more than 100 people present at the Demon Alliance Conference knew clearly that this was a plan to get someone else to do the dirty work. However, no one said anything. They could only go against their will and remain silent.
The Demon King said, "Therefore, in order to save the Demon Alliance and protect the Lingsha Tribe, there is a need to ask the Young Rakshasa King to come out of seclusion. Right now, the entire Demon Alliance's people are spreading the word that the Young Rakshasa King is the Demon Alliance's savior. "Your Excellency, I wonder if you are willing to part with your treasure and let your Crown Prince become the commander-in-chief of the allied army to protect the Lingsha Tribe?"
The Rakshasa King said, "This is the Demon Alliance's righteousness. I can't resist it, and my Crown Prince naturally can't either. The key is, how many troops does the Demon Alliance intend to gather for my Crown Prince to command to protect the Lingsha Tribe? "
"A five-million-strong army …" The Demon King said, "The three main tribes will gather a five-million-strong army to protect the Lingsha Tribe. Spiritual Killer King, state your position!"
The Spiritual Killer King said, "My tribe's ten-million-strong army will be under the Young Rakshasa King's command."
The Demon King said, "In that case, we have decided to gather the third Demon Alliance's army to protect the Lingsha Tribe?"
The Demon King was already secretly kowtowing to the Tian Sha Crown Prince.
Once the Young Rakshasa King really led the Demon Alliance's army to the Lingsha Tribe, his enemies wouldn't just be the Tian Sha Crown Prince. There would also be the Demon Alliance's army and the Lingsha Tribe's army behind him.
This was because the Demon King was eager to kill his son, and the Spiritual Killer King wanted to prove his loyalty to the Young Rakshasa King.
If the Young Rakshasa King really went to the Lingsha Tribe, even if he had three heads and six arms, or even nine lives, he would definitely die.
"Then it's decided. Use the Demon Alliance's name to issue the decree, and I'll stamp my royal seal on it." The Demon King said, "I believe my crown prince won't reject this honor, and he can't reject this military order either. He can't let down the Demon Alliance's expectations, and even more so, he can't let down the hundreds of millions of people of the demon race."
The Netherworld Prince said, "Isn't that so? After the Cloud Calamity Clan was annihilated, countless people gathered outside the crown prince's residence in Rakshasa King City every day, hoping that he could turn the tide. "
The decree had already begun to be drafted. Once it was stamped, no one could reject it. Otherwise, it would be considered as defying the decree and the common will of the Demon Alliance. Even the Demon Crown Prince would have to die.
The elders of the various races and the various Demon Flag Owners all felt the same way.
They could only watch as the ugliest scene in the world unfolded. Before these high and mighty Demon Kings surrendered, they still wanted to get rid of the wisest crown prince to take revenge for the humiliation they had suffered previously.
However, no one dared to make a sound.
The decree was finished, and it was about to be stamped.
At this moment, the Young Rakshasa King barged in and said coldly, "I disagree!"
The Rakshasa King said coldly, "What do you disagree with?"
The Rakshasa Crown Prince said, "I don't agree to be the commander of the allied army. I won't protect the Lingsha Clan."
The Rakshasa King said, "Crown Prince, are you openly defying the decree? I can't kill you if you defy my decree. However, if you defy the Demon Alliance's military order, even I won't be able to save your life. "
The Young Rakshasa King said, "If the Demon Alliance wants to turn the situation around, the key isn't to protect the Lingsha Clan, but to take back the Cloud Calamity Royal City!"
The moment he said that, everyone was shocked.
The Young Rakshasa King continued, "I'm willing to recommend the Fire Demon Flag Owner, Lan Ling, to lead the army to take back the Cloud Calamity Royal City and turn the tide!"
The moment he said that, it was like a clap of thunder, causing everyone present to be speechless and tremble in fear.
When the Rakshasa Crown Prince refused to become the commander of the allied army to protect the Lingsha Clan, everyone thought that he was afraid of death. They didn't expect him to declare that he wanted to take back the Cloud Calamity Royal City? Was he crazy?
After a long time, the Rakshasa King said coldly, "Crown Prince, don't use that as an excuse even if you're afraid of death."
The Rakshasa Crown Prince said, "Lan Ling will attack the Cloud Calamity Royal City within five days. If he doesn't take back the Cloud Calamity Royal City within half a month, I'll kill myself in front of everyone. I'm willing to make a military pledge and a Heavenly Demon Blood Oath."
A military pledge and a Heavenly Demon Blood Oath.
After a long time, the Rakshasa King said, "How many troops does Lan Ling command? The Demon Alliance has to protect the Lingsha Clan and we don't have many troops for him to waste. "
The Young Rakshasa King said, "Lan Ling will lead 300,000 troops and he doesn't want a single soldier from the Demon Alliance. If he can't take back the Cloud Calamity Royal City, I'll kill myself in front of everyone. There's no need for all of you to scheme and kill me with a borrowed knife. "
The moment he said that, it was a huge slap to the Rakshasa King's face.
However, everyone present only noticed a single word — 300,000.
Lan Ling is going to use 300,000 troops to take back the Cloud Calamity Royal City? Is he talking nonsense? Is he out of his mind?
The 16,000,000 Demon Alliance was completely defeated and lost the Cloud Calamity Clan. And now, Lan Ling is actually going to use 300,000 troops to take back the Cloud Calamity Royal City?
This is even crazier than daydreaming. This is simply … simply something that can't happen even if the stars and the ocean flow reversed.
The Netherworld Prince suddenly said, "The Skeleton Corps?"
He immediately thought of the time when Lan Ling used the Skeleton Corps to eliminate the Heavenly Demon King.
"There's no longer a Skeleton Corps in this world. If a Skeleton Corps appears, how about I kill myself in front of everyone?" The Young Rakshasa King sneered.
Instantly, the Rakshasa King said coldly, "Crown Prince, you're crazy."
The Young Rakshasa King didn't say anything else and immediately wrote down the military pledge. Then, he let everyone see it clearly. In the end, he bit his finger and smeared his blood on the ground, on the military pledge, and on his forehead, making a Heavenly Demon Blood Oath.
Within half a month, if the Cloud Calamity Royal City is not taken back, the Young Rakshasa King will kill himself in front of everyone.
This is no longer a joke, and it's no longer crazy talk.
The Young Rakshasa King is actually crazy enough to seek his own death?
At this moment, the Young Rakshasa King said coldly, "Demon Kings, and my Royal Father, if Lan Ling defeats the Tian Sha Crown Prince and takes back the Cloud Calamity Royal City within half a month, how will he be rewarded?"
The Rakshasa King said coldly, "What do you want?"
The Young Rakshasa King said, "You're already old. How about you abdicate in advance and let me take the throne?"
