"What? The Empire only sent out thirty thousand soldiers? "
The Demon King and Richard said in shock. Who gave the Empire the courage to send out thirty thousand soldiers against an army of four hundred thousand?
Young Raas and the half-human half-demon assassin, Liuliu, were kneeling in the tent, reporting the situation of the two armies.
"It seems the plan needs to change."
The Demon King said helplessly. He had originally planned to quietly make a fortune before winter, secretly kidnapping the citizens of the Kalise Empire to provide fresh blood and cheap labor for the Great Ufa Forest.
But he didn't expect the Kalise Empire to be so useless. In less than four months, half of its territory had been lost. If this continued, the Empire would be gone in a year.
He sighed. Although this empire was very small, it was still a bizarre thing for it to be destroyed in such a short time. Although this country had lost a lot of vitality in the war with the Demon Race, it was reasonable to say that it should not have fallen so quickly.
Richard was somewhat depressed. If this continued, the Kalise Empire would be conquered by the Eagle Regiment. According to his guess, after the Eagle Regiment took over, there would definitely be internal strife that would last for decades.
This was a good thing for the nearby Wusen Empire, but it was hard to say what would happen next. Once the Union stabilized, they would definitely interfere. At that time, the Kalise Empire would become a place under the Union's control. The Demon King didn't want that to happen.
Suddenly, the Demon King placed his hands on his knees and stood up. He faced the two and said, "You two take the assassination squad to Longquan River. Avoid direct confrontation and slow down the Eagle Regiment's attack."
"Yes! Master! "
Liuliu nodded and suddenly turned into a cloud of black smoke, leaving behind a few feathers as she disappeared.
Young Raas raised his head and looked at the Demon King. He seemed to have something on his mind.
"Master, is this what war is? Why do people have to kill each other? "
He asked this question. The Demon King sighed and said, "Who knows? You'll have to find the answer yourself."
Raas frowned and lowered his head. It seemed that his mind had suffered a lot in the past few days.
He had thought that he had seen hell, but after this period of time, he discovered Stone's Hell.
It was only so difficult. The battles between people were the most terrifying.
"You can give up at any time. The new city needs a lot of manpower."
"No, Master, I will complete the mission."
Russ said seriously.
He had a determined look in his eyes. Ever since Killer Liuliu and the others stopped a war, he had decided to live his life from now on. He wanted to be like Killer Liuliu, protecting that city and Machi from the shadows.
Suddenly, he pressed his right hand on the ground, and a black magic array appeared. The magic array blew out a black wind, and he disappeared into the black wind.
…
"What should I do? What should I do? Ahhh, it's over. Run for your life. "
Eibron muttered to himself as he sat in a luxurious room. His hands were clenched tightly, and his legs were trembling.
He was troubled and fearful, and there before him was a royal edict.
The content of the letter was for him to send out troops to support the Royal City and eliminate the Eagle Regiment. Otherwise, he would be considered a betrayal of the King and punished as a traitor.
Although he was a count, how could this poor Western Territory allow him to spare an army? His army of ten thousand people had long been wiped out by the abominable Devil Race.
Escape?
But the Devil Race's underlings were everywhere. How was he supposed to escape? And where was he supposed to go? A foreign country? If he wanted to get to the Dragon Boat, he'd have to cross two mountain ranges or go to Stone. That would be like walking into a tiger's mouth.
Just as Eibron sat there in a daze, the door suddenly opened with a click, startling him.
"Who is it? Who is it?! "
Eibron shouted, but when he saw who it was, he was almost scared to death.
It was the Devil Race he feared the most.
"It's the Devil Race you've been missing, Mister Eibron."
The Devil Race's voice was cold. In that moment, Eibron's pain was magnified. His heart seemed to stop for a few seconds, and he felt an unprecedented fear.
Clack.
Until the Devil Race's hand patted his shoulder.
Eibron didn't see how the Devil Race approached him. When he reacted, the Devil Race was already behind him.
"Calm down. Don't worry, I'm not a man-eating monster. As long as you listen to me, I won't kill you."
The Devil Race's voice came from behind him, penetrating his skull and burrowing into his brain.
"M-m-my lord, y-y-you want me to do anything, I'll do it!"
Eibron said hurriedly, but his mouth and tongue were trembling uncontrollably. Even so, he was still able to use his body to block the table, trying to hide the edict.
"Very good. Oh, what's this?"
As he spoke, he was already holding the imperial edict in his hand.
"The King wants you to see him."
The Demon King said.
"I-I-I'll only listen to you, not him. I'll do anything you want me to do!"
Eibron said hurriedly.
Hearing this, the Demon softly chuckled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, then you leave right now and go see that King."
Eibron's face drained of all color. He wanted him to see the King? Did that mean he was going to die?
"B-but the King wants me to bring an army to die for him …."
Eibron said bitterly.
"Then bring an army. It's the King's order."
"Ah? B-but I don't … I don't have an army. "
He didn't know what the Devil Race was trying to do. He couldn't figure out what the Devil Race was trying to do.
"How can that be? Don't you have an army outside? Look."
The Devil Race pointed outside the window.
Eibron gulped and stood up, trembling. He walked to the window and was shocked by what he saw.
The garden outside the mansion had been razed to the ground, and there were countless soldiers standing there. They were all well-equipped and had serious expressions.
He knew they were the Demon King's subordinates, but he also knew they weren't necessarily human.
"Not enough? Then I can take on a hundred thousand soldiers. With these forty thousand, that's a hundred and forty thousand. How about that? "
"T-t-this!!"
Eibron was so scared he couldn't speak. The Devil Race's eyes were sharp, and he didn't seem to be joking anymore.
"Then let's go, Count Eibron. Immediately, to Karlis. Or are you not feeling well and can't go? "
"No, no! I'll get ready right away! "
Eibron was shocked. So the man knew what he was thinking. It was too scary. All he had was a thought. As one of the lords of the western region, Eibron had always used his poor health as an excuse to refuse to attend the semi-annual meeting of the lords. Eibron had only wanted to give it a try, but before he could say anything, Eibron had taken the initiative and made him completely give up on the idea.
Just like that, Eibron was forced to go to Karlis.
