Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In Azure Dragon City, White Tiger City, and Black Tortoise City, Yang Xi, Yan
Yu, Tang Nazhi and Li Xiaowei had all received the same news as Qi Xia. The Elf King and the other rulers were also prepared to go to war at any time.
However, things were moving in an unpredictable direction.
The twelve devil generals did not target the main cities. They extended their claws to the cities that had not yet been breached.
Late at night, the soldiers of the major cities were waiting solemnly to prevent the Devil race from sneaking an attack. Meanwhile, in another place, shadows came quietly in the darkness.
The City Lord of Windy River City was in his room, wiping his armor. His wife was sitting by, holding their seven-year-old daughter in her arms.
The family of three was very happy.
“The devil army has moved forward. Tomorrow morning, you and Yue’er will evacuate the city together with others. This place will soon become a battlefield.” The City Lord of Windy River City looked at his wife and daughter and his eyes were overflowing with the reluctance to part.
“Take care of yourself.” The wife nodded slightly. Even though she refused to give up, there was no hesitation. Her man was a being of indomitable spirit. What he shouldered was not only a family, but a whole city.
“Don’t worry; I still remember the Lord’s orders,” the man said with a smile.
The warm fire lit up the warm bedroom. The City Lord of Windy River City stepped forward and hugged the two most important women in his life.
All of a sudden, the flames flickered, the locked door burst open, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.
A bloody figure strode into the room. Behind him were a dozen devil soldiers holding bloody swords.
“It seems that my luck today is not too bad.” Hei Jiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the three people before him, his eyes leaping with excitement.
The City Lord of Windy River City immediately drew his sword and stood in front of his wife and daughter.
Behind the devil soldiers, he saw the corpses of his men in the courtyard. These loyal guards had already left him, and their corpses were all lying in front of his room.
Hei Jiao acted as if he owned the room, cocking his legs and looking at the solemn human in front, “No need to say any nonsense. I know you are not afraid of death. You humans are crazy, but it doesn’t matter anymore.
However, can you ignore the lives of your wife and your daughter? I advise you to cooperate with me, and I will ensure the safety of your family of three. Why put your loved ones in danger for the sake of others?”
Over the past few days, Hei Jiao had captured many members of the Forsaken Land, including humans, demons, and undeads. However, all of those humans had killed themselves as soon as they landed in his hands. Even the demons who had always been the Devil race’s minions made the same choices as the humans. This made Hei Jiao completely speechless. There were also those undeads who had destroyed the core of their lives without any hesitation.
What was it that made them willing to end their lives just like that?
Hei Jiao had no idea, but tonight, things might be different.
Hei Jiao felt that he had found a good target this time, when his hostile eyes fell on the women and child behind the man.
The woman hugged her daughter tightly and looked at the devil in horror.
The voice of the City Lord of Windy River City seemed to be blocked. He knew very well what Hei Jiao was planning to do. He could ignore his own life, but his wife and daughter were his precious treasures.
With the lives of your family at stake, no matter how firm his will might be, it would be torn apart..
