Chapter 398: Resolution to fight again
After listening to Murong Yunfan's story, Lan Jiu was still able to stay calm, but Murong Ying was different.
Especially when it came to the retreat of the human army, Murong Ying's face directly changed color, and a trace of coldness flashed. Then he said with some anger and sadness, "Uncle, did you quit the army like this?" My father died in front of you, and as a result, you reached an agreement with the demon clan to withdraw from the army?"
"Yingying, you listen to my explanation, it's out of desperation..."Murong Yunfan hurriedly explained.
"I don't listen, I don't want to see you again!" Murong Ying roared in despair, and then rushed out of the room directly, ignoring the shouts of the few people behind.
A hint of gloom flashed in Murong Yunfan's eyes, and then he muttered in a low voice, "Hehe, in fact, you can guess from the beginning that the final outcome will be like this... I have my insistence, but Yingying also has her own ideas, what I do is for this country, but it is also true to watch her father die in front of her eyes!"
Lan Jiu sighed helplessly and said, "Lord Hou has been for the country all his life, I can understand it, Yingying can also understand her... Well, I'll go see Yingying!"
Seeing that Murong Yunfan nodded, Lan Jiu did not hesitate and withdrew directly. Although Lan Jiu's cultivation was not as good as Murong Yunfan's, his spiritual perception was no worse than him, and he naturally knew very well where Murong Ying was at the moment. With a wrong step, he leaned straight there, he was Murong Ying's future husband after all, and he was more worried about her than anyone else.
It was a small pavilion, and under the pavilion was an endless lotus pond.
A trace of pain flashed in Lan Jiu's eyes, and a petite girl was standing in the pavilion at this moment, and the girl's tears immediately slipped into the lotus pond when the cold wind blew. This girl is naturally Murong Ying, and she has lost the coat of the eldest princess, and she is just a little girl after all.
Lan Jiu's figure flickered, and he sat directly beside Murong Ying, and said softly, "This season, the lotus pond is still a little cooler after all!"
Murong Ying glanced at Lan Jiu in a daze, and threw herself into his arms, but she couldn't say a word.
"It hurts, right? Your heart must be very painful!" Lan Jiu asked softly, "When the Lan family was destroyed, I lay alone in the ruins of the family, and it took three days to go once... Everyone in the world says that my gray hair is terrible, and who knows how much hurt and pain it takes to give birth to this silver-white hair!"
"I... I'm not blaming Uncle, I really don't. It's just that my father died, and that was my last relative, and I really don't know how to face my uncle again!" Murong Ying cried in a low voice.
Lan Jiu nodded lightly and said firmly, "I know! I must be the clearest and clearest of my family's thoughts! Master Hou doesn't complain about you, but I'm worried about you... However, who said that you have no relatives? Whether it is Hou Ye or me, we will be the relatives you can rely on the most in the future!"
"But my father's sudden departure, I really don't know, what should I do?" Murong Ying asked with some trepidation.
Lan Jiu whispered, "It's okay, don't worry... The prince will teach you how to be a good female king who governs the world. As for the battle and bloodshed on the battlefield, I will complete it for you, and the demon clan owes us the hatred of humans, and I will get it back little by little!"
Murong Ying finally nodded, threw herself into Lan Jiu's arms, and sobbed for a long, long time.
Seeing a stick of incense passing, Lan Jiu's gaze fell on Murong Ying, and then said in a low voice, "Okay, little fool, it's time to get up... Although the king of this battle sacrificed heroically, but it was also exchanged for the great victory of mankind, presumably the Hou Ye must have something to explain to us. ”
"Uncle..."Murong Ying muttered the title, then looked up at Lan Jiu and nodded. The bodies of the two slowly disappeared in place, and when they left, they only heard her firm response, "I understand!"
Seeing Lan Jiu returning with Murong Ying, a hint of joy flashed in everyone's eyes. Murong Yunfan even grabbed Murong Ying's wrist and hurriedly said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back... Yingying, you listen to my explanation, you must listen to my explanation. In my heart, I also want to avenge my brother, but that time is not the best time for a decisive battle, and I really don't want this country to lose too much!"
Murong Ying burst into tears and smiled, and said strongly, "I understand, uncle, I have always understood your intentions, but I was too excited just now, I'm really sorry!"
Seeing Murong Ying's appearance, Murong Yunfan finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least this fate was not too cold, and it did not allow him to lose two relatives in a row for a while. His gaze moved back to Lan Jiu, nodded and said, "You guys came back just in time, this time there are so many things in the empire, we are bound to think of a foolproof strategy!"
Lan Jiu also nodded, naturally knowing the importance of it, and motioned for Murong Yunfan to continue.
Murong Yunfan's eyes looked at Murong Ying, and said helplessly, "Yingying's way of being a king is not yet mature, but if something happens suddenly, it can only allow Yingying to take over the position of queen of the imperial capital in advance." At the same time, Xiao Jiu and I are next to Yingying, wholeheartedly assisting her, and holding the enthronement ceremony on a certain day, what is your intention?"
Everyone nodded, even Murong Ying, who was the most difficult to accept in her heart, could only be forced to accept it, in the final analysis, it was all a helpless move, and everyone was a victim.
Lan Jiu's eyes raised slightly, and then he changed the topic and asked, "Hou Ye chose to withdraw from the army, based on my understanding of Hou Ye, there should be other plans, right? And I think that the two major armies on the northwest border are still stationed at the border location, so it's not as simple as retreating!"
"That's good!" Murong Yunfan praised, "Xiao Jiu really knows me better and better... Why don't I take revenge for killing my brother? The demon clan lost the gambling battle, and I am already sending someone to take over the resources and territory of the gambling contract. On the other hand, although the imperial brother died, the two battlefields were indeed great victories, and the morale of the human side recovered quickly, so I hope that when I ascend the throne, I will leave and start a full-scale war against the demon clan!"
"What do you mean, but we took the initiative to start a war?" Lan Jiu asked in a low voice.
Murong Yunfan nodded again and again, and responded, "Yes, now is a good time to counterattack... The loss of the demon clan in this battle far exceeds that of us humans, and the morale is even lower. We have invaded half of the territory of the Demon Clan, and this is the best way to use this as a springboard to declare an all-out war on the Demon Clan... And I have also entered the supreme realm of the way of the sword at this moment, although I am not the opponent of the Shadow Demon King, but at this moment, she has lost seven tails, and her cultivation has suffered a great loss, and she will definitely not dare to fight with me!"
Lan Jiu and the others nodded, without asking in detail, but they fully supported Murong Yunfan's decision.
On the human side, they are preparing for war with all their might, preparing for the counterattack on the demon clan in the near future. At this time, among the demon clans, the atmosphere was not very friendly.
The Bear Demon King, the Giant Elephant King, and the Mad Lion King, the pillars of the three major demon clans, are all kneeling in the main hall of the demon clan at this moment. And behind the three of them, there were also many demon kings kneeling, and this time the configuration was extremely complete, and it seemed that all the demon kings were present.
"Please be willing to fight to the death with the human race, we are willing to defend the glory of the demon clan with our lives!" the demon kings said in unison.
And above these demon kings, there was a huge throne, on which the black-clothed chaotic demon king sits. I saw her fingers stir slightly, and there was a fluctuation in the air, but then, this fluctuation disappeared again. Her strength has not yet recovered.
Suddenly, I saw her eyes condense, and a fierce light shot out directly and fell on the demon clans.
"Now, are you doubting my decision?" said the Shadow Demon King in a cold voice.
Although her cultivation has not yet recovered, no one can resist this innate coercion. Even the second strongest person back then, the Phosphorus Ye Demon King, didn't dare to look directly at the coercion of the Shadow Demon King, let alone these ordinary demon kings?
The leading Bear Demon King said tremblingly, "Lord Demon King's decision, we naturally don't dare to question it. It's just that in this battle, our demon clan was defeated, and even gave up half of the territory and resources. Such a result is really too bad, it is related to the glory of the demon clan, we can't accept it, absolutely not!"
"Fool, what if you lose? Now that Murong Han, the strongest of the three empires, has died, isn't this result enough?" the Shadow Demon King said sharply, "This world will be our demon clan after all, but everything has to come step by step." Every step I take now has my own plan, all in order to better welcome the return of the Demon Emperor!"
Hearing this name, the whole body of the demon kings trembled, this time it was the giant elephant king. I saw him take a step forward and say, "Lord Demon King, although you have been talking about Lord Demon Emperor, we don't have the slightest perception and gap, I don't know Lord Demon Emperor, but you are really coming back?"
"Hehe, although you are questioning my decision, I am in a good mood today, so I don't care about you!" said the Shadow Demon King in a condensed voice, "I am a demon fox clan myself, and I was fortunate enough to be proud of the inheritance and teachings of the Demon Emperor back then, so I am naturally the most familiar with his breath... What's more, if it weren't for the Demon Emperor's imminent return, how could I have awakened this eighth tail!"
"Shhhh
The Bear Demon King stepped forward and continued to ask, "Then I don't know Lord Demon King, what should we do next?What should we do to welcome the return of Lord Demon Emperor?"
"It's very simple, after this war subsides, the human race will definitely invade the demon clan when our power is greatly damaged. When the time comes, we will counterattack in one fell swoop and defeat all these humans!" the Shadow Demon King said firmly, and then murmured in a low voice, "Hehe, these humans all thought that I had lost seven tails and would be severely damaged... But who would have thought that as long as my eighth tail is here, the speed of recovery will not be what they can imagine!"
It's just that her words, the voice is extremely small, and no one hears them.
