Chapter 2644: Humans Will Never Be Slaves (1)
“Think about it; I will give you time. Don’t even think of killing yourself — even if you die, I won’t make it
easier for your wife and daughter. Demon beasts are very fond of women and children, with their thin
skin and tender esh.” Hei Jiao nastily reminded him. He would like to see whether this group of human
beings really were insane: whether they could truly disregard the safety of their own loved ones for the
sake of their superior.
The city lord’s complexion went white.
His hand holding the sword slowly lowered, as if he had given up his resistance.
Hei Jiao’s eyes ashed with a smile.
“You human beings have a saying: a wise man submits to circumstances. I believe you are a wise man.
Instead of dragging your family to death, you should choose another path. We devils are not really a
bloodthirsty bunch. We will naturally accept those who are willing to submit to us and give you a good
place to live. Once the war is over, you will not only be a city lord of this small town, but you can even have
a larger area than the Barren Land.” Hei Jiao saw that the man had somewhat loosened and slowly threw
out his demagogic words.
The thing called loyalty only came about because the temptation of other parties was not strong enough.
Even a saint could not stay rm in the face of sucient temptation.
Coercion and inducements; Hei Jiao knew how to manipulate people’s weakness.
“What do you... want me to do?” The city lord of Windy River City nally lowered his head and asked in a
mued voice.
Hei Jiao smiled and replied, “Tell me, where is your underground passage.”
The devil army had fought with the alliance army several times, and each time they won, they could nd
only ruins. The alliance army in the city had already retreated safely before the gate was broken. Hei Jiao
knew that a passage leading to the other cities must be hidden in each city, but they did not know the
specic location of this passage.
As long as they found the underground passage, they could follow it into the center of each city, and
nding the way to The Rising Sun City would no longer be a problem.
“I can take you there, but... can I talk to my wife and daughter rst?” The city lord said.
Hei Jiao shrugged his shoulders as permission.
The city lord of Windy River City turned around and looked at his tearful wife and confused daughter.
He stretched out his hand, touched his wife’s face, wiped the tears from her eyes, and rubbed his
daughter’s head.
“They have always said that Yue’er looks like me, but I think she is more like you. Only a beauty like you
can give birth to such a lovely daughter.” The city lord crouched down and looked at the two women he
loved most in his life.
His wife was choked with emotions and shook her head. She was shaking all over and unable to say a
word.
“Have you ever regretted it? Marrying me, I mean?” The city lord asked softly.
The woman shook her head rmly.
The city lord smiled. He leaned forward slightly and kissed his wife and daughter. In their ears, he
whispered in a voice only they could hear, “I’m sorry.”
Suddenly, the sword in his hand ran directly through his daughter’s chest, and the man’s bloodshot eyes
were lled with despair.
“Take him down quickly!”
Hei Jiao shouted.
The group of devil soldiers rushed up immediately.
However, it was already too late to pull out the sword stuck in the daughter’s young and tender body. The
man followed this by raising his hand and striking his beloved woman with his palm. The gentle woman
slowly closed her eyes, with a faint smile on her mouth.
The devil soldiers had not acted quickly enough; the city lord’s wife and daughter were already dead, and
the bloody human, like a madman, issued a shrill laugh.
