Chapter 1469: Chapter 656: Buddha and the Vessel (Part 3)
They want humans! They want food! They want more and tastier food!
They... they want to attack other towns!
Those humans are all like birds in a cage, hiding behind the fragile city walls, thinking that bricks and tiles can guarantee their safety!
With just one command, just the Demon Emperor’s... no! Even just one order from any of the Demon Kings, they would immediately assemble forces, submerge the human cities, slaughter and plunder, flatten everything!
This restlessness, this evil intent, as the number of demons in the Demon Capital grows, is becoming increasingly unstoppable!
Even in the human captivity area managed by Lord Green Demon, humans have inexplicably started disappearing frequently.
There is no doubt, demons must have sneaked in to eat people!
Uncontrollable, unstoppable! The innate need cannot be suppressed!!
"Lord Qingyao!"
The Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon knelt before one of the Four Demon Kings, the Green Demon King, and said: "The city is under-provisioned. If no more humans are captured, chaos might ensue."
It was one of the Great Demons who came for fame, and in terms of power, it was no less than the Four Great Demon Kings! Except that the unfathomable Green Demon King made it somewhat apprehensive, while the strength of the other three Demon Kings was actually mediocre.
But alas, these Four Great Demon Kings have the highest recognition from the Demon Emperor. No one can shake their status among the Four Great Demon Kings.
Therefore, the only way to serve the Demon Emperor is to join under the command of these Four Great Demon Kings.
This is not determined by strength but by rules. Unless you have the ability to negotiate with the Demon Emperor, you can only obediently accept your identity as a subordinate of the Four Great Demon Kings, not daring to cross the line in the slightest.
However, with the current unrest in the city, ever since the establishment of the Demon Capital, it’s merely been a major construction effort, creating city infrastructure, leaving many of the restless demons unable to endure.
This is an opportunity.
If one can command and instruct these restless demons, then they would be a de facto Fifth Demon King!
The Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon had this idea, this ambition, but still couldn’t bypass... the Demon Emperor’s permission, even if tacit approval, there must be signs before it dared to take action.
The Green Demon’s gaze dropped slightly, looking at the kneeling demon.
"I’ve said it many times, don’t rush, no need to rush, it’s unwise to rush. These are the exact words of Lord Lan, and this is his intention. I don’t know what he ultimately wants to do, but undoubtedly... Lord Lan’s vision is far longer than ours."
"But!"
The Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon wanted to speak further but was interrupted by the Green Demon: "This matter requires no further mention, there are still many constructions in the city that need perfecting, guide those demons joining the Demon Capital well, and if there’s anything else needed, I will instruct you myself."
"...Yes!"
The Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon paused, slowly responding before retreating.
Watching the Long-haired Fire Stepping Demon’s retreating figure, the Green Demon sighed in his heart.
Among demons, there is also intrigue.
Among demons, strength reigns supreme!
For him, there is still a lot of room for growth in terms of power.
But demons like the Shu Bird Demon have shown a noticeable decline in the rate of power growth.
Many times, it’s not just by having a constant supply of martial artists that one can continuously grow stronger.
Even with ample resources, time and effort are needed to gradually digest and absorb them, not to mention that after becoming a Demon King, there are many city affairs that require personal attention, leaving not so much time for cultivation, so the slower growth rate in power is understandable.
Nowadays, even some newly arrived Great Demons have power far exceeding that of the Shu Bird Demon, hence there have been some destabilizing factors.
If it were in the wild where the law of the jungle prevails, they might have long lost the qualification to command the demons.
But within the Demon Capital, as long as Lan Yuhe is present, they will always be the Demon King, second to none, reigning over ten thousand demons! No one can change this fact.
For some reason, the Green Demon suddenly began to reminisce about the time when things were unfinished in Tianyuan Town.
Perhaps it was because back then, he could focus all his attention on one task, or maybe because... of the presence of a certain someone.
The Green Demon slowly lifted his head, looking towards the night sky.
"Diao Deyi, where are you now, and... what are you doing?"
"A Tianyuan Town without you truly feels somewhat lonely."
Just as the Green Demon’s thoughts reached this point...
Rumble!!!
In the night sky, suddenly thunder erupted!
As if tearing through space, thousands upon thousands of thunderbolts suddenly burst overhead of Tianyuan Town, streaking across the night sky and spreading around like a painting.
Accompanying the thunder... came people.
Countless people, endless people, people as far as the eye can see!
Uniform attire, synchronized chants, like divine troops descending from the heavens, suddenly appeared above Tianyuan Town.
Shouting various slogans, forming various formations, rushing down on horses, invading the streets of Tianyuan Town like dumplings from a pot.
Instantly, sounds of slaughter, screams, and roars filled Tianyuan Town, chaos abounding!
The Green Demon widened his eyes, with only one thought in his mind.
"Impossible! How did they break through the city defense array set up by Lord Lan??"
Once he regained his composure, he was already rushing towards the Demon Emperor Hall!
First of all, report to Lord Lan.
Recently, Lord Lan has been too engrossed in exploring the wandering realm, unaware of the current state, unable to say whether he can handle this sudden onslaught.
This unexpected arrival of the human army caught the Demon Capital off guard, this time fearing heavy losses!
As the Green Demon rushed towards the Demon Emperor Hall...
Chaos, chaos, chaos, the entire Demon Capital was in an uproar in an instant! Flames rising, smoke rolling! Slaughter and plunder, madness to the extreme! Unleashed and wild, the iron army wantonly destroyed city buildings, massacred demons, swept everything away!
They seemed prepared, after descending from the sky, while slaughtering demons in teams, they regrouped into a massive military force!
Amongst the wails of the demons, not a single one realized... this immense human army was not only a threat but also... food!
