Chapter 536: The Mantis Demon doesn't need a god

"Where's the demon's body? Take me there! The Grand Empress Shakhir asked, curious about the demon that Tayak had killed.

"I had the patrol bring the body over, just outside your palace." Taryak replied, however, that there was more than just the corpse of the demon outside the palace, and Hogg was lying in ambush at this time, waiting for Shacohir to show up and take it down.

"This is the demon?" Shakeshir stood at the gate of the palace, it looked at the corpse guarded by the praying mantis demon of the patrol below, judging from the tentacles and arthropods on this corpse, it did have all the characteristics of a demon, but Shakeshir always felt that something was not right with this demon?

Shacohir walked over to the corpse, and it noticed that a tentacle seemed to be curling around the demon's chest, and she leaned down and picked at the tightly curled tentacle.

A token carved from amber fell on the grass with a "snap", and Shakohir picked it up with a puzzled expression, it recognized the token, it was the credentials of its captain, but why did it fall into the hands of the demons?

"Captain of the Guard! Come here! Shakohir called out to the captain of its guard, but no one answered the empress, so it turned to Tayak with a suspicious look, "Have you seen my captain of the guard?" Where is it? ”

"Didn't you already guess it all? Your Captain of the Guard is right in front of you! Tayak didn't care about Shakohir's suspicions, and among the mantis demons present at this time, except for Shakohir and the two court attendants who followed him, they had all been brainwashed by Hogg.

And the so-called demon corpse is just a prop made by Hogg after mixing the corpse of the captain of the guard with a little evil energy, in order to bring Shacohir to Hogg without alarming the other mantis demons.

"So even you betrayed me? My lord? Shakohir let go of the token and let it fall to the grass, it turned and glared at Tayak with a fierce look in his eyes, Shakohir didn't expect that even Tayak, the Blade Lord he trusted most, had betrayed.

"I didn't betray you, I just found faith! I'm sure you're just a little lost at this point, but if you see the gods with your own eyes, you'll be like me. Tayak replied with a sincere face, after being brainwashed by Hogg, it still retains its loyalty to Shakohir, but for Tayak at this time, Hogg's orders are more important than Shakoshir's orders.

"Gods? The mantis demon doesn't need this inexplicable belief, we just need to be on our own! We don't need gods! Shakehir shouted angrily, Tayak's betrayal was obvious, but the thing that worried the empress the most was that even Tayak, who was the most unlikely to betray, betrayed it, and Shakeshir couldn't think of anyone else who could be trusted among the mantis demons at this time.

"'Don't need gods?' Amusing! If it weren't for Asakhi, you wouldn't have been in this world, let alone standing here accusing me for no reason! Hogg's deep voice rang out behind Shakohir, and it emerged from its stealth, the Elder God standing at the entrance to the tree hollow, blocking Shakohir's retreat.

"The gods who created us are just using us as tools! This shouldn't be the fate of the mantis demon! Shakohir shouted, but unfortunately there was no mantis demon to respond to Shakoshir except for the two terrified court attendants.

"This is the fate of the Mantis Demon, you have enjoyed your freedom for hundreds of thousands of years, and now it is time to fulfill your duty!" Hogg grabbed Shakohir, and then the huge and twisted will of the Elder God completely crushed Shakohir's soul mercilessly.

"Let your people withdraw from the dragon's spine, behave naturally, and don't let the other mantis demons notice your situation!" Hogg commanded, glancing at the slowly setting sunset, where it had spent a day, and now it was time to return to the remnant sun.

By the time Hogg crossed the ocean through the Mantis Plateau and reappeared in front of the Remnant Sun Pass, night had fallen, and Hogg could see a little fire on the dragon's back, and it was clear that the condition of these pandaren defenders was quite stable.

Seeing this, Hogg stopped sneaking, it ran straight to the towering city wall of the dragon's back, and the panda soldiers guarding the city wall, when they saw Hogg, first sat on the ground in fright, and then they got up and ran to inform Zhu Talan.

Zhu Talan was so fast that he didn't even come out of the main entrance of the tower, but jumped straight out of the window on the third floor, rolled to the ground before hitting the ground, unloaded the impact, and then patted the ashes to stand up and said to Hogg, "You're finally back!" The sentinels noticed that the mantis demons had all retreated from their camp, have you already dealt with the prime minister Zorlock? ”

"It's barely a 'solution'! It's still alive, but it's no longer a threat to us! Hogg replied, since it has now dealt with the Great Empress Shakohir, then the prime minister Zorlock, who has always been loyal to Shakohir, is equivalent to being indirectly dealt with, and according to Hogg's plan, the mantis demon will carry out a round of internal integration next, so the remnant sun pass can be stable for a while.

"That's good, as long as we can get through this for a while, we can continue to guard the remnant sun pass." Zhu Talan misunderstood what Hogg meant, he thought that the so-called solution meant that the prime minister Zorlock escaped from Hogg's serious injuries, so he would not become a threat, but for Zhu Talan, as long as he could make the mantis demon retreat, even if it was a temporary retreat, as long as it was enough for the panda people to make a slight adjustment, it would be very good.

"You've worked hard too, but fortunately, this time the mantis demon has learned a lesson, and I think they will be in peace for a while!" Hogg nodded, it didn't want to talk much about the mantis demon, so it changed the subject: "Now that the situation has stabilized, then I should also escort that Lady Liu Yanxin to the Qinglong Temple, as long as Yulong is reborn earlier, our pressure can be reduced a little!" ”

"This is natural, but it's getting late today, how about waiting until tomorrow to go to Qinglong Temple?" Zhu Talan said that although the mantis demon had already begun to retreat, in this dark night where he could not see his fingers, the panda man sentry in charge of reconnaissance could not completely determine the movement of the mantis demon, so for the sake of safety, Zhu Talan still decided to persuade Hogg to sit in the remnant sun pass for another night.
