Chapter 65: The Tail Left Behind After the Battle

In the end, only eight of the enemy remained, all of whom knelt in the center of the camp with their hands tied, waiting for Andrei to fall.

The whole camp was in shambles under the color of blood and flames, and the faces of the victorious side were not very happy, except for Andrei himself, who had achieved his original goal - no casualties. A few minor injuries were no problem for the Druid Master, and a single spell known as the Light of Tranquility allowed several wounded to be healed at once.

In order to achieve the goal of no casualties, the Children of the Abyss believe that even some damage to the camp is perfectly acceptable. Although the dwarves and elves could understand André's notion that the camp could be rebuilt without people as long as the people were still there, the neat and orderly camp still made them suffer a little bit in the end. They also played a great role in the construction of the camp, and the whole of Andrarui was built brick by brick in their foresight.

Broken limbs and flesh were everywhere, and if it weren't for the fact that Andre had already seen the bloody scenes of the succubus chefs dismembering their prey, he had even personally ordered a Winged Demon to be severely punished, but this was not a scene where the children of the abyss, who had been nurtured by civilized society, could bear the past with a frown. In fact, Miss Druid Elune vomited afterwards, probably because when she asked the succubus what to do with the corpses, Livia replied as a matter of course - "Keep it and eat it!"

This difference in civilization is difficult for even Marcellion, as a teacher, to make his proud disciples accept in a short period of time, because even he himself has not fully agreed with the seemingly reasonable but very barbaric customs of the demons. Andrei himself had no intention of correcting the practices of his subordinates, as the strange life form of the demons had been destined to be very different from most of them from the beginning.

The vast majority of known creatures of the Children of the Abyss have relied primarily on the form of reproduction to perpetuate the civilization and history of entire races, whether they are intelligent or not. No matter how strong an individual is, it will eventually fade away over time, and only the prosperity of the race can in a sense make a life "continue" for a longer time.

Only the demons who ensure the continuous replenishment of the race through the blood pool have different concepts. The ultimate goal of each demon individual is basically the same - that is, to live longer and become stronger by various means! Whether it is their own advancement, cultivating children with excellent bloodlines, or becoming the leader of a clan, it can be said that it is all for this purpose!

As for how much strength they could gain by devouring the bodies of their enemies and companions, Andre felt that it might be more of a way for the hungry demons to comfort themselves. This is a deep-rooted and difficult concept instilled in him by the knowledge system of the children of the abyss in his previous life.

If you can become strong just by eating "people", aren't those famous demon kings all man-eating demons?

Marcellion will not blindly deny the views of the demons like Andre, because there are many orc shamans or totem warriors who use similar rituals to enhance their strength, but most of their targets are some particularly powerful beasts or monsters. In any case, there is always some truth to the deep-rooted customs of a race, and although André scoffs at the mystical nature of such behaviors, he still has no intention of correcting his superstitious subordinates anytime soon.

Now he needs to worry about it and see how much information he can get from these losers in the end. The Children of the Abyss looked thoughtfully at the group of bloodied captives in front of them, with wilted faces. Little did he know that his plan was almost doomed, as the useful information was almost already in place while he was dealing with the brainless Horned Overseer.

So Andrei immediately became impatient after not getting much useful by means of separate interrogation. These captives are basically worthless, and they should have killed a hundred directly.

This time, even the elves with good natures and moral purity did not raise any objections, as early as hundreds of years ago, there were still some demon rangers who were attracted by the rich products of the Shattered Sky Mountain and the Great Swamp and wanted to settle in this territory. It's just that almost all of them showed full aggression under the temptation of Thornleaf Village and the Limestone Clan, and then ...... And then there was no then. These deliberately concealed facts are the truth of the "Curse of the Shattered Sky Mountain", and the elves and dwarves with a limited population have to clean up all the outsiders of the demon race one by one just in case.

As soon as any news of dwarves and elves haunting the Shattered Sky Mountain spread, the greedy Abyss Lords will surely lead their demon armies like coyotes that smell corruption, turning these legendary aliens with many special skills and abilities into "private property" within their territory.

Since even the friendly neighbors who have always had good intentions have no objections, the Son of the Abyss naturally ordered his subordinates to give these captives a good time.

When the third head rolled down with the gushing blood, Kwaseg finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"Your Highness, you can't kill me!!"

In fact, the demons under Andre's command did not have much resistance to the idea of these defeated people wanting to join Andrarui, and there were really many things in the demon world that changed masters because of the war. If every leader decides to eliminate all dissidents like Andre and Banuma, then the strength of the clan can only depend on the cowardice bred by the blood pool, and the growth cycle and advancement rate of cowardice are absolutely inefficient. Only by constantly absorbing and digesting fresh blood, as Theramore Conquerors did, to make the tribe stronger, was in their eyes the most practical way for the tribe to grow.

At this time, they seem to have selectively forgotten the experience of the "generation of masters" who died in the conspiracy and rebellion of their subordinates due to overexpansion.

"Why don't you give me a reason to make up my mind not to kill you?" In fact, the black-bellied Son of the Abyss had no intention of changing his previous orders, and he only wanted to get something useful from the mouth of the Horned Demon Overseer.

"Wise Your Highness, I, Kwaseg, have grown into such a powerful warrior after a hundred battles and more than twenty rainy seasons, as long as you spare my life, I will not let you down!"

"For example?"

"For example...... For example, when I was fighting, I was at the forefront and fought bloodily......!

"Does it work?"

“...... Huh?"

"Do you think you're capable of fighting?" Andre mercilessly interrupted the Horned Demon Leader's defense, "You led a total of fifty-three warriors to plunder my camp, but you didn't take anything with you but the dinner in your stomach, and you didn't even bring any casualties to my men. ”

"So in this case, do you think that your boast of bravery and skill in battle is more convincing than that of your own handsomeness?" The Child of the Abyss waved his arms loudly, as a way to show his patience to his first captive.

"Your Highness, I can swear to the Will of the Abyss that I will be absolutely loyal to your rule!"

"What will happen if you break the oath you made to the will of the Abyss?" Andre whispered in the ear of his succubus attendant.

"Breaking these oaths will cause him to be abandoned by the great will of the abyss...... This will make it much more difficult for him to progress in the future. Livia replied very seriously.

"What's the use of that!?" the Children of the Abyss felt that they simply couldn't understand the logic of these demons. That is to say, there is hardly any loss to be lost by breaking this oath except to ruin his own character! Moreover, it is for his own life, and he naturally agrees to everything! But how much good can this bring to Andrarui? I am afraid that there will be more hidden dangers.

In Andrei's memory, there are many people who are used to breaking their promises and getting fat, and for the sake of more practical interests, how many people have not done anything that has ruined their character at all? Not only have they done it, but most of them have also achieved "success", and so on such unscrupulous practices can also be called "dung pocket history" by this group of self-proclaimed superior guys after they become famous.

"Slash!" Andre felt that sometimes there was no need to discuss such pointless questions with these people with abnormal thinking circuits.

"Wait, Your Highness, you can't kill me!" The Horned Overseer struggled on the grass, his face covered in cold sweat that made him look blue, but the sturdy rope on his wrist made his move seem meaningless.

"If you kill me, you will only let Lord Banuma and the two powerful Abyss Lords know the fact that you have developed such a rich territory here!

"......?" Kill those "big guys" thousands of miles away from you and you'll know what's going on here?

What's the point?

Andre felt that sometimes he really couldn't understand the way of thinking of these demon natives......
