In the silent conference hall, the voting continued. More than half of the people supported the execution of the Queen Mother. Only half of the people voted against it to save the situation.
Finally, the centaur patriarch broke the silence. He sighed and said, "I'm afraid she's right. Lord Demon King doesn't want us to kill each other. I vote against it."
As soon as he said this, the conference hall immediately exploded. The noise was like a flood breaking through a dam.
"You changed your mind just because of these words? They're not our friends, they're our enemies! "
The leopardman patriarch shouted.
"Don't forget how Lord Demon King dealt with his enemies! Just like the Boar King who ruled Ufa Great Forest, enemies are enemies. We can't treat them as friends. I don't believe this human either. Don't forget who killed our Demon King. It's those despicable humans! "
The mouse patriarch shouted as he slammed the table. Myr was already in a difficult position, and Zeba also joined in the argument.
"If you don't want to let go of the past, we're still enemies!"
In the midst of the argument, Halla shouted, "Silence! You all have a chance to express your opinions. Don't be in a hurry. Even if the centaur patriarch stole a vote against it, it won't change the fact that there are five votes in favor. If there are no proposals with more votes, it will be our first implementation. "
Oh no! She still wants me to die!
Zeba was sweating profusely. Things didn't turn for the better.
"If you can't calm down, then today's meeting will be suspended. We'll continue when you're clear-headed," Halla said.
If the meeting was delayed, it would be beneficial for Zeba and the others. Thus, the mouse clan immediately quieted down.
Hala continued, "In principle, I shouldn't have sided with any of you, but after listening to Zeba and Reina's words, I gradually calmed down. Now that I think about it, I've done a lot of irreparable wrong things due to anger. Linnai is right, those people we expelled were once our friends. Perhaps some of them betrayed us, but I shouldn't be so ruthless as to kill them all. "
As soon as she said this, the Mouse Clan and the others revealed puzzled expressions. Ze Ba also saw hope. However, at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out.
"Report! Lord Halla! The granary is on fire! "
A member of the Ke Tu Race shouted from outside the door. In an instant, everyone's eyes widened.
"It's them! It was the work of those shapeshifters! After what happened in the morning, they had already started to take action! And here we are, having a meaningless meeting!! "
The Dog Head Clan's patriarch shouted angrily. Guarding the granary was the Dog Head Clan's responsibility, so there was no reason for him to be so angry.
"Everyone, forgive me for not keeping you company!"
With that, he stood up and hurried out.
"Since one of the clan leaders is not present, then today's meeting will end here. Everyone, please be prepared for any unexpected situations. During this time, please don't let your clansmen wander around."
With that, they all stood up and hurried out. Reina also stood up and said, "My magic can help you put out the fire."
"Go."
Halla nodded. Reina also left the meeting room, leaving only the Elven Queen, the black-clothed assassin, and Halla. The Elven Queen nodded at Halla. She didn't say a single word, so no one knew why she had come. She left the meeting room in such a mysterious manner.
"How are your injuries? Are you alright? "
She asked with a sigh.
The assassin Liuliu was silent as usual, but he was a reliable person. Half-demons were the descendants of humans and demons. Halla didn't doubt their loyalty to the Wusen Empire.
However, a cold light suddenly flashed. Halla's expression changed. She, who was sitting behind the chair, was about to step back when the other party suddenly appeared in front of her. By the time she reacted, a dagger was already at her neck.
"We definitely won't let you harm our Queen Mother."
He said these words in a deep voice that shocked Halla.
Halla's heart trembled, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Killing me won't save her, and I won't be able to save you."
She said in a deep voice.
"But you can. As long as I become you and use your identity to order them around."
"You overestimate my power. I'm a manager, not a ruler. Your decisions will be opposed by the clan leaders. They have the power to overthrow you. If they discover the truth, you will have to face their wrath."
"I'm not alone. Manager, we've always existed, but you don't know. We've always been in the shadows, and you only know about the so-called black-clothed people. Do you know? In our eyes, you black-clothed people are like dancing under the lights. Since I can replace you, my fellow clansmen can replace the clan leaders and control the Empire. "
Halla maintained her composure and looked at the other party without moving.
Suddenly, she laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
The other party asked fiercely.
"I'm laughing at you for not believing your own words. If that's possible, why haven't you acted yet?"
There was no benefit in continuing to anger the other party, so Halla continued, "You know that this isn't the best plan. You're more suited to be in the shadows, not in the light. Tell me, what conditions do you want? "
The shapeshifting monster disguised as the killer Liuliu narrowed his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said, "We don't want anything. As long as we can take the Queen Mother out of here, it's enough. From now on, we won't have anything to do with each other."
Halla was silent. She looked at the other party thoughtfully. This look made the other party feel uneasy.
The next moment, it moved. The broken sword in its hand slashed across Halla's neck, but there was a harsh sound. A blue magic light flashed from Halla's hand, and the shapeshifting monster was directly bounced away. It showed an extremely surprised expression and stared at Hala with its eyes wide open.
The black feathers on its body were like snow under the sun. They quickly melted, revealing a terrible muddy appearance. It raised its head and suddenly overturned the table. However, Halla waved her hand and a vertical magic barrier pressed down. Not only did it block the table, but it even pressed the other party against the wall.
"I've learned about the branches of shapeshifting monsters. Impersonators can completely change their forms, but they're not good at fighting. Shapeshifting monsters who are good at fighting can't change their forms freely. Generally, shapeshifting monsters are in between, so there are many ways to determine the truth. Your disguise almost fooled everyone, so you're definitely not good at fighting."
"When did you find out?"
The shapeshifting monster gritted its teeth. Its ugly body began to transform into Halla's appearance. The other party didn't have a chance to release magic, but its attack was bounced off by magic, proving that she had already used magic to protect her body.
"From the moment you appeared."
As soon as the voice fell, a black feather suddenly appeared in front of it. A sharp sword pierced out of the feather and directly pierced through its body.
