In front of the city gate, the black-armored Demon King suddenly turned his head and looked towards the southern sky. Under the dusk, the southern mountain range was covered in a layer of black cloth. The Demon King felt a strange feeling.
This feeling was as if he had missed something interesting.
"What's wrong? Lord Demon King? "
Lie Arc asked nervously. After all, he had just experienced a great battle and his excitement had yet to subside. He was still in a hot-blooded state.
"Nothing."
The Demon King didn't think much and turned his head. He heard a rumbling sound and the huge city gate suddenly opened. It was as if the people inside were welcoming them. This was very strange. After all, the Demon King, Richard, and the others were invaders.
A very strong Beastman with long fangs in his mouth stood behind the slowly rising city gate with his hands on his waist. When he saw the group, he suddenly showed a surprised expression and retreated a few steps. He also put down his hands.
The soldiers guarding the city gate were scattered on the ground. They must have been killed by him.
"You are Bru?"
The Demon King looked at this Beastman with a strange appearance. He showed a doubtful and fearful expression.
That's right, this Beastman with long fangs was Bru, who had stubbornly insisted on doing things his own way. At this moment, his mind was in chaos.
How could this be? Why wasn't it Lord Ze Ba's army? Who was he?
He panted and retreated a few steps. The man in front of him was wearing black armor and had two horns on his head. He had an exquisite face similar to that of a human. He emitted an incomparably terrifying magic power. There was no doubt that he wasn't a human. But Bru had never seen or even heard of such a Demon. This was the same as humans. A creature that looked like a human but wasn't a human would make humans feel fear. The Demon Race would also feel this way.
Looking at this mysterious man, he was a bit timid because he saw a second thing. A head hanging on the saddle.
That was Gan Xie's head.
Bru was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. That terrifying Demon General was actually killed.
He panted and fear appeared on his face.
After all, Bru had always lived in the Red Valley and hadn't seen much of the world.
"I … That, I … I'm Blue."
It stammered and slowly retreated to the side of the road, not daring to stand in front of the Demon King.
The Demon King's expression did not change. He looked at it and said, "You did well. You saved me some effort. I will reward you. But before that, there are still some troublesome matters to deal with. "
After saying that, he looked forward and rode his horse into the city.
Behind him was an extremely well-equipped and strangely organized army. In reality, there were centaurs in heavy armor. Behind them were rabbitmen with javelins, leopard-men with slender bodies, snake-men in robes who used witchcraft, and dog-headed soldiers who looked like werewolves. There were also humans and orcs. He almost missed some short figures. They were mice carrying pickaxes and wearing miner's hats. What kind of power was this?
Blue was stunned. He felt like a frog at the bottom of a well. He couldn't believe that the demons were actually united.
It sat on the side of the road, panting.
This huge army entered the city, followed by the sound of horse hooves and footsteps.
"There's more?"
Blue's face was pale. He turned his head and saw a familiar figure. It was Ze Ba riding a giant wolf. He appeared in front of the city gate with the army of the various clans.
"Blue!"
Ze Ba was stunned. He was just praying that nothing would happen to this hothead. He finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Lord Ze Ba!"
Blue quickly stood up, but he suddenly thought of something. He had led an army to charge without permission. How should he face Ze Ba? His smile slowly froze, and he slowly lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, Lord Ze Ba. I …"
"It's good that you're fine. Don't be so impulsive in the future," Ze Ba said calmly. His tone was filled with helplessness.
He had committed a great taboo and offended his superiors. Logically speaking, he should be punished.
But everyone knew that he was the son of Buco Lo.
After saying that, Blue also led the army into the city. Blue was stunned. He was at a loss. The orcs that passed by, his companions who had chatted with him, all looked at him with a complicated expression.
It was an undeniable fact that he had caused the deaths of many orcs. Blue finally reacted. He was trying to use this merit to offset the crime of causing the deaths of his companions …
In one night, the Demon King's army and Ze Ba's army wiped out the remaining resistance forces in Yellow Sand City. They expelled a considerable number of unnaturalized orcs and used cruel methods to kill all the orcs who resisted. They used the most direct method to occupy Yellow Sand City.
"Gather all the useful documents and books."
"Yes, Lord Demon King."
A few Rabbit-Men soldiers saluted and left the room.
In the hall, Gan Xie's terrifying wolf chair had been removed and replaced with the Demon King's wooden chair. He sat in Gan Xie's original seat and was even given a table.
Lie Arc, the Queen Zeba, and a few other soldiers with some official positions appeared in the hall. Bru, who had done a meritorious deed in opening the city gates, was also present. However, at this moment, he looked haggard, as if his soul had left his body.
Everything was different from what he had imagined. This person who was called Lord Demon King was the ally that Ze Ba had mentioned. He originally thought that he was an orc, but in the end, he was a mysterious demon.
Demon King. He called himself Demon King. This was an arrogant way of doing things in the demon race.
"Lie Arc, inform the logistics department to send the next batch of resources as soon as possible. At the same time, let the explorers open up a path."
"Yes! Lord Demon King!! "
The centaur named Lie Arc replied loudly. Clearly, he was the kind of person who would do his job diligently.
Following the sound of horse hooves, he left the palace.
"What about me? What about me? "
At this moment, a voice that did not match the solemn atmosphere rang out. The woman who looked no different from a human, but her skin was very white and her aura was very strange suddenly spoke.
The Demon King glanced at her and said, "Oh, after occupying the city, we should have searched for food and treasures. However, the food has already been used up. How about this, you should also learn some knowledge about managing an army. You will patrol the city and maintain order while cooperating with the logistics department."
"Sounds very boring."
The Queen Mother said.
"After all, this is the king's job. If you don't want to, then forget it." After the Demon King finished speaking, the Queen Mother frowned.
"Who! Who said I don't want to! I only said that it was boring. "
After saying that, she turned around and left, whispering something that shocked Bru.
"After I learn your skills, I will overthrow you and become the queen myself. Hehe." The Queen Mother snickered as she left the hall.
Bru was stunned. This, this was clearly a traitor!! Why would this person who called himself Demon King keep her by his side?
He felt more and more strange. Where did this force come from?
"Old, uh, hehe ~ Mr. Demon King, about this, should we …"
"Oh, that's right. According to our agreement, this city belongs to me. You don't have any objections to this, right?" The Demon King stopped what he was doing and raised his head.
Hearing this, Blue was stunned for a moment.
What? Yellow Sand City was going to be ceded to another race? How could he agree to this!
He looked at Ze Ba.
"I don't have any objections to this, but …"
Ze Ba showed a bitter expression. He looked at the Demon King a few times as if he wanted to say something.
"Oh, you want to talk about supplies. How about this, the weapons and armor in this city are all yours. Of course, you can recruit people here as long as they are willing. In terms of food, I have already prepared a portion for you. It will be enough for you to continue marching and attack the next city. "
The Demon King replied.
Hearing this, Blue felt that this was not bad. Although it was a bit painful to lose a city, the food they had on the way here was given by the other party. Without these supplies, they would not be able to gather an army. With good weapons and enough food, under Ze Ba's lead, they would definitely be able to take down a few cities. At that time, they would not have to be led by the nose.
However, Ze Ba sighed softly.
Boss!! That's not what I meant. What about the agreement between us? I don't want to fight anymore ~ ~
He shouted in his heart, knowing that he had been tricked.
"Okay, that's fair. Then I'll leave first."
After saying that, Zeba left dejectedly. Just as Bru was about to leave with him, Zeba called out to him.
"Mr. Demon King is looking for you. You can stay here for now."
"What, what is it?"
Blue was a bit nervous. He did not dare to face Richard alone.
The Demon King looked at Blue and said, "You are called Blue, right?"
"Yes … Yes, Lord. I am Blue, Bu, Bu Keluo's son."
"I don't care whose son you are."
The Demon King suddenly said. Of course, he knew who Bu Keluo was and what kind of person Blue was.
"I know what you have done. You did not abide by the duties of a soldier and obeyed orders. You caused heavy losses to the army."
The other party's words pierced deeply into Blue's heart. He clenched his fists. Even if he had made a mistake, he should not be criticized by an outsider.
"However, it was also because of this that you successfully infiltrated the enemy and saved us a lot of time to take down the city. As an ally, I don't have the right to punish you, but I feel that I should give you a special reward for your contributions. "
The Demon King suddenly clapped his hands as he spoke. Blue did not know why, but he became excited and nervous. He saw an Orc enter, and Blue glanced at him.
"Lord Demon King."
It was an ordinary Orc. As for how ordinary it was, it was the kind that could be seen everywhere on the streets. But Blue remembered this voice! It was the Orc that helped him in the dungeon! It was actually the Demon King's subordinate. Could it be! Could it be that he had already planned this war?
Blue felt a lingering fear.
"Derry, bring it to see the gift I gave it."
The Demon King suddenly said.
Gift?
Blue began to be puzzled.
"Yes, Lord Demon King."
Blue lowered his head expressionlessly, then turned around and looked at Blue.
"Follow me."
Blue opened his mouth and subconsciously exclaimed, not knowing what to do. He looked in the direction of the Demon King and did not dare to stay any longer. He obediently left with Derry.
The Demon King took a deep breath and looked at the parchment on the table. It was an internal map of Yellow Sand City.
"Then, what secrets is hidden in this city?"
He said to himself.
Derry brought Bru out of the palace. Bru was very nervous. He mustered his courage and asked weakly, "Pardon me for asking, but as an Orc, why did you submit to … him?"
He did not know how to express this group of allies. Derry turned his head coldly and said, "This has nothing to do with you."
"I-I'm sorry. I don't mean any harm."
Blue lowered his head, feeling wronged. It was the first time he felt so wronged since he attacked. When he was in the Red Valley, the people around him would not talk to him like this. Here, he felt that he was dispensable. He was not a great hero. The army still won the war without him.
The dream of being a hero in his heart was shattered bit by bit. Blue's self-esteem was also hurt. He did not know how to face his father or friends. He suddenly wanted to escape to an isolated island and live alone. He imagined that after he left, Zeba and the other soldiers would regret and beg him to come back.
He still had such childish thoughts in his heart. This was also one of the pillars that supported his survival.
"We're here."
At this moment, the strange Orc named Derry stopped. Blue, who had been lowering his head, looked up and realized that he was in the stable. He was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth wide.
"This?! This? What does this mean? "
Bru was astonished because it wasn't a horse in front of him, but a "Dragon".
Crimson red dragon scales, four hooves, and a strange three-headed dragon. Under its terrifying appearance, it represented power and majesty.
"This is a gift from our Demon King. He gave it to you as a thank you gift for opening the door."
Derry's tone was still cold. He did not seem to like this job.
"No, this, this is Gan Xie's mount!"
Blue could not believe his ears. He was agitated.
"So what? It's just a beast under my crotch," Derry said sarcastically.
Blue shook his head. He did not understand. He did not understand that in the eyes of the Orcs, it was a very honorable thing to be able to conquer a powerful mount!
"No, I can't be a subordinate. This should be given to Master Zeba. He's worthy of this Dragon."
Blue lowered his head humbly.
"No, Old, uh, since Mr. Demon King gave it to you, it's yours, kid." Zeba's voice came from behind. Blue turned around and was delighted to find Zeba behind him.
"Master Zeba!"
"Accept it, kid. I don't want to neglect my old friend."
Zeba smiled confidently.
Blue smiled happily and shook his head. He was too excited.
Derry rolled his eyes and sighed. He did not want to stay with these two smelly Orcs. He only wanted to return to the Queen Mother's side.
"Then, can I really accept this?"
"Yes, of course."
Zeba nodded.
Blue frowned. He felt that his body was floating. It was like a dream. Even in his dreams, he wanted a domineering mount.
But he could not forget his shameful behavior.
Suddenly, a snake-like tongue licked his face. The three-headed Dragon was getting close to him.
"See, it likes you too."
Zeba said.
Blue was very happy. He reached out his hand and touched one of the heads. The three-headed Dragon was docile. It felt great.
"Erm, Master Zeba, I have a request."
"Hmm?"
"After this battle, I realized that I was under my father's shade and did not know it. So, so I want to leave for a while and train in the storm," Blue said.
Zeba was shocked. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Blue.
"What! You! You! Where do you want to go? "
"I want to temporarily rely on Master Demon King and learn from him. When I'm independent, I'll go back to see my father."
Blue said.
Hearing this, Ze Ba gasped.
He wanted to slowly hand over the military power to Blue and then sneak away to farm. He did not expect things to turn out like this.
Oh no!
Only then did it realize that this might all be part of the boss's plan! He was fooled!
