Chapter 436: The King's Decision
There was a cheerful and high atmosphere in the long hall, and everyone was toasting to the return of the "Great Sage", and the reappearance of La Nina, the flank of the Demon King, would obviously bring great confidence to the remnants of the Demon King's army. Hao Ren looked curiously at the scene in the hall, he saw humans and orcs drinking and talking side by side, demons crouching on the ground arguing with dwarves about which would be better with hammers or axes, and elves and dark elves studying the patterns on the table together: in the end, these two were drunk.
This is the most loyal group of Izzax's men, the group of people who still stick to the city and refuse to surrender at the last moment when the Demon King's army is gone. They have been more or less infected by the rough "culture" of the demons, so much so that even the elves drink crookedly regardless of their image, but at the same time they also enjoy the pleasure of this messy feast that only they understand.
Perhaps their compatriots in the human realm will rebuke them for turning their backs on tradition and changing customs, but here, no one cares.
For their part, Izzax and La NiΓ±a accepted the salute and began to talk to the old men. When Gatama was ordered to sit next to Itzax, he cautiously asked, "King, do you want to announce the ...... of your return?"
Itzax waved his hand: "No, only you know that I have been missing for a year, and you don't have to spread the word to others." Order is well maintained in the city, and it will be kept like this. β
Gatama nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Then what are your arrangements next?" β
"I've got some questions for you to confirm," Itzhax laughed, and then suddenly patted Elizabeth's little head beside her. "Girl, be honest. Did you do that crystal that the coalition had on hand? β
Elizabeth was holding a large piece of barbecue at this time, tearing and gnawing bones against Lily, and she didn't raise her head when she heard this: "Hmm." Oh, yes. β
"I knew it was you when I saw your 'Daddy Three,'" Itzhax laughed, "We couldn't figure out what was going on, but now we do...... You're trying to get them infighting, right? β
Elizabeth made a face of oil, it is really the style of the demon princess, and she doesn't pay attention to her image at the banquet. She grabbed the barbecue and explained to Izzax one by one: "It's not just infighting, it's also to divert their attention, and then I have a chance to run out and test a few spatial points." β
"Test the space point?" Itzhax seemed to understand something, "So...... That's what you're out for this time? β
Elizabeth nodded, "Yes." After we found a way to enter and exit that mysterious space, we were testing its spatial door teleportation patterns. The teleportation patterns were chaotic, and each door was connected to other places from time to time, and it was only recently that three relatively stable exits were roughly figured out, and the safest of them was here: on the edge of the Broken Plains of the Second Plane. The other two teleported to the Obsidian Plains, and the other led directly to the base camp of the Human Realm. We came out of another space this time mainly to collect a number of jΓΉ. β
"It's too risky, to move the entire city out of the other dimension," Itzhax frowned, "Banu Clark and Searlaton should have been mobilizing their forces to attack this side at this time, and the Holy See coalition is also increasing its forces to the second plane. It's definitely time for them to receive the news of the Demon King's existence. β
"Come on, just come on, anyway, hide back when the time comes," Elizabeth shook her blonde hair, and a sly light flashed in her dark red eyes. "After confirming a few more fixed exits, we'll run around, pulling them around...... Let's see when those idiots will die of exhaustion. β
"A child's temper." Itzhax snorted, but still had a smile on his face. Obviously, his daughter's skills have made him quite satisfied.
Hao Ren looked at this little princess of the Demon Realm, who was no different from a human girl in all aspects except for a pair of small horns on her head, and suddenly remembered something. Then he took Doudou out of his personal space: "By the way, there is another member who hasn't introduced you: this is Doudou." Her name is Elizabeth......"
At this time, it was the time for the little mermaid to take a nap, but it was almost time to wake up with her watch, Hao Ren touched her tail, and Doudou jumped up with a carp (the carp is not an adjective here), and was surprised to find that he had arrived in a strange place when he opened his eyes, and immediately fluttered happily and greeted the people around him: "Good Dad, good sister dog, good beard, good bat sister, good table, good food...... Daddy, I'm going to eat! β
"It's time for this little guy to grow taller," Vivien quickly broke half of Doudou's chopsticks and handed it over, "Who is the beard?" β
Sentis? Hot Hammer touched his screen-like beard: "Maybe compared to the beard, my face is really not eye-catching......"
Elizabeth? The little devil looked at the little mermaid who was jumping around on the table and greeting cups, plates and dishes in amazement: "Ah! What is this? β
Elizabeth? Beanie? The fish looked up and greeted the little girl: "How are you!" You also came to our house to rent a house? β
The little guy followed a landlord's father, and by this time he had already begun to get acquainted with the business.
In short, the two Elizabeths completed a historic meeting.
At this time, Lily was still holding the meat and bones and gesturing with Elizabeth: "Come on, come on, let's compare the speed of gnawing bones......
Hao Ren felt that these guys around him might not be able to do anything else, but this ability to integrate into the atmosphere was simply the pinnacle.
Gadama had been looking to have something to say since just now, and at this time he finally felt that it was time to speak: "King, you are back this time...... Is it to lead us to counterattack the world? β
As soon as this question came out, the table suddenly fell silent, and even Lily, who was happily gnawing on her bones, subconsciously stopped talking, and the tail behind her body trembled lightly in the air. Nangong May sighed leisurely: "According to the current situation...... Big, you seem to have a chance. β
Izax was smilingβof course, it would be difficult for the average person to recognize when the expression on Izax's face was a smile, especially how the face of the car accident was supposed to smile, but it didn't matterβhe was silent for a moment, and suddenly shook his head unexpectedly, "No. β
Many people were dumbfounded, but Hao Ren nodded as if he had expected it, as early as in Kadesa City, he understood what kind of guy Itzax was - a determined and almost paranoid forwarder, but at the same time with a strange, demonic "chivalry", he would not regret his choice (even if it turned out to be unworkable), nor would he be annoyed by the failure of a fait accompli - he would not look back.
Gatama lowered his head thoughtfully, as if he was not very surprised by this answer, but a high-ranking demon sitting on the other side with a scar on his face exclaimed: "King! What do you say? β
"My mission is over," Itzhax smiled, "it turns out that the task of unifying the world is not suitable for a demon, and the demon's way of doing this kind of work cannot do this kind of work, so leave this task to the possible candidate of the future - the union of the races has shown the way to the world, and I believe that sooner or later there will be a more suitable person than me to integrate this world." β
The demon with a scar on his face was one of the veteran generals under Izax, Hao Ren still remembered that the other party's name was Ramondino, it was obvious that he was a standard martial arts faction, and at this moment he reacted the most to Izax's decision, and the scar on his face was almost blooming under the agitation of emotion: "King! How can you give up so lightly? Will you forsake us? We waited in that space for a year, at the moment of preparation for a counteroffensive - you actually gave up on your own? β
"No, I'm not going to give up on you," Izax shook his head, exchanged glances with Hao Ren, and then continued after receiving an affirmative answer, "I'll find you a new place to stay, and everyone can go there." But the world and my relationship is over. β
After saying that, Itzhax paused, then looked into Ramondino's eyes and continued: "You should remember why I started this war in the first place - to go to the stars. Now that I've achieved that goal, as far as the world is concerned...... I pushed it, and that's all a demon can do. β
Ramondino seemed to want to say something, but Itzhax just waved his hand: "Sit down, this is my first family dinner with my daughter after a long absence, and I'll talk about it later." (To be continued......)
