Chapter 125: The Conspiracy of the Council of Elders
"Gods and demons are naturally enemies, and it is only a matter of time before the God King finds here. Wu Silence said coldly: "How long do you think the Demon Yuan can hide?"
This sentence undoubtedly poked at the most sensitive point in the hearts of the demons.
"The God King will not forget that after the end of the God and Demon War, a group of demons successfully escaped, and with the ability of the God King, it is not difficult to find the Demon Yuan, why do you think the God King didn't look for it?"
"If you don't want to say it, let me tell you. Wu Silence explained: "Because just with you scattered rabble, it is not enough to pose a threat to the Divine Mountain, nor is it enough to be put in the eyes of the God King, at that time, the Great War of Gods and Demons has just ended, and the Divine Mountain has also suffered a lot of losses, so the God King is not in a hurry to exterminate you for a while." ”
Even humans understand the truth of the poor and the poor.
At that time, the demon race was almost in a desperate situation, if the god king continued to lead his troops to attack the demon abyss, the demon race would definitely take advantage of the location of the demon abyss to resist desperately, although the god king could sweep the demon race again, but it would inevitably cause a lot of price.
Now, more than a thousand years have passed.
The Protoss army gradually recovered, on the other hand, the Demon Abyss, the morale gradually sank, after the Demon Race experienced an early sense of crisis, and now has no intention of fighting to the death, isn't it the best time to encircle and suppress them? What's more, the reason why the God King did not look for the Demon Abyss a thousand years ago is largely because the Demon Abyss does not pose a threat at all.
Why don't the demons pose a threat? Because the demons don't even have a leader!
Without the leadership of the demon king, the demon race is undoubtedly a fragile scattered sand, the demon race has no source and cannot complete scientific and technological progress, nor can it give birth to new clansmen, and the population will not increase again.
The Protoss also needs some of the scattered demons left behind, so that they can pose a threat to humans at all times, which can not only train the ultimate prey of demon hunters, but also stimulate human evolution and ensure human loyalty to the Protoss.
"At this time and then, the god king knows that the new king has appeared, and the vanguard is attacking the earth, and this time if the grass is not cut and eradicated, the god mountain will not give up. The momentum of Silence is getting stronger and stronger, and the coercion of the Great Elder of the Demon Clan, after a thousand years, has reappeared again, "This time it is not a question of war or not, we have no choice at all." War, or there is a glimmer of life, without fighting, there will be no place for demons to stand in this universe. ”
The demon elders who said this were speechless.
That's right, the demons have endless lives, and once they settle down, they will inevitably be afraid of war and death.
However, it is precisely because the demons have an infinite lifespan that the sense of crisis that arises from what may happen is even stronger, because for humans, what will happen in the next life is what will inevitably happen in this life for them.
The length of time doesn't make much sense.
As soon as you realize that something is wrong, you have to find a way to solve it.
What's more, the Protoss is menacing in front of him, and this threat is not from the future, but from the present, and it is already imminent.
"What the Great Elder said has a point. "The Fifth Elder Yan should be among the top ten elders, except for the Great Elder Wu Yan himself, the only Demon Clan Elder who is more supportive of the battle, "Instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, you might as well take the initiative to take the lead." ”
Nine Elder Youquan: "In front of the God King, who can take the lead?"
Phantom Nightmare, Dark Pupil, the two elders were silent.
However, from their bodies, it is not difficult to feel the gloomy and depressed momentum, and the current situation puts them in a dilemma.
At this time, Yun Ying stood up directly, his eyes dancing with red flames, and shot out from under the hideous Thousand Illusion Mask, containing a terrifying pressure that made it impossible for any living creature to look at directly, but he quickly swept over the demons, none of these powerful demon clan elders dared to look at him.
"From the moment I put on the armor of the Demon King and inherited the power of the Demon King, I couldn't help but carry the mission that the Demon King did not complete. I've sacrificed a lot of things for this, and I don't mind sacrificing a few more of the hindrances. ”
Yun Ying's gaze became sharper and sharper, staring at the Second Elder and the Third Elder.
This sentence has already been said very seriously, and it may anger the demons present.
The kaleidoscopic one-eyed eye of the dark pupil really flashed a glimmer of light, and he was almost about to stand up and confront Yun Ying. One can imagine how much these demon elders have in their hearts, they are all old monsters who have lived for thousands or even thousands of years, and each of them has wisdom and strength that mortals can't match.
You are nothing more than a human being.
Just a guy who's been through just a few decades.
What qualifications do you have to say such a thing? Just by virtue of the Demon King armor you are wearing? It is undeniable that this is indeed a symbol of the Demon King's power, and it is also the key to freely open the Demon Abyss Passage, but this armor is worn on the human body, not the demon race.
How could the demons accept a human as their leader?
However, just when the pupil was about to attack, the second elder beside him, Phantom Night, sent out a spirit to stop him, and then Phantom Nightmare stood up and bowed to Yun Ying, his black mercury-like body flowing, giving people a strange feeling.
"Dear Demon King Inheritor, because your arrival is too sudden, and the news you brought is too sudden, our demon clan has lived in the Demon Abyss for more than a thousand years, and now we are just gradually adapting to a new life, if you want us to change all of a sudden, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”
Yun Ying looked at the most powerful elder of the demon clan at the moment: "I came here to be obedient and loyal, not excuses and reasons!"
"This ......" Illusory Nightmare body fluctuated slightly, as if he was thinking about complex things, and then replied: "Please respect the Demon King Inheritor, and the Great Elder give the Elder Council a little time, we will spread the news to all members and make a decision as soon as possible." ”
Yun Ying narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's better to be like this." ”
"Dark Yan and Youquan, you two take the inheritor, go to the Ten Thousand Demons Tower first, and serve the honorable inheritor well. ”
The two demon clan elders, Dark Yan and Youquan, had no choice but to do so.
Yun Ying and Wu Shen glanced at each other, and Wu Ying sent a spiritual reply to Yun Ying, so Yun Ying didn't talk nonsense, and withdrew from this huge palace conference room with his three subordinates, as well as two demon elders.
"Second Elder, Third Elder, we ......"
The other forty or so demon clan elders all wanted to know the opinions of the two leaders.
Phantom said calmly: "You all go out and spread the news to all the members, and there must be no slackness." ”
The demon elders left thoughtfully.
The pupil asked in a spiritual way, "Phantom, do you really want to be loyal to this human, do you really want to go to war with the Protoss?"
"Of course not, it's just a delaying tactic, find a way to stabilize them first, and then take action. Phantom replied.
The spirit of the pupil fluctuated with a hint of surprise: "Do you want to attack this human being? Although he is a human being, he has indeed obtained the inheritance of the Demon King, and the strength of Dark Yan is not weak, but he was easily defeated, not to mention that there is silence around him, I am afraid that he will ......"
The spirit of the illusory nightmare is full of determination and ruthlessness: "I observe the battle between Dark Yan and the inheritor, in terms of the inheritor's spatial control, he is no longer inferior to the former demon king, and it is not unreasonable for Dark Yan to lose, but in terms of spiritual strength, he may not be higher than Dark Yan, that is to say, ......"
"In other words, he is not necessarily our opponent. The spirit of the pupil seemed to perk, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is not this human being, but the silence makes it difficult for people to rest assured, and you have also seen his methods." ”
"Hmph, in his heyday, you and I are naturally not opponents, but now his strength has been greatly reduced, and he has not returned for a thousand years, and his influence has long been inferior to that year, and it is a good opportunity to officially take advantage of his weakness to eradicate it, and we must join forces in this matter. ”
The pupil was a little hesitant, very jealous of the Great Elder.
"Don't hesitate, don't you know our current situation? Even if the inheritor can become stronger than the demon king in the future, but you and I have an extra king on our heads for no reason, are you willing to be under the command of a human being?"
"Okay, you say, what to do. ”
"The inheritor is handed over to me, and the silence is handed over to you. ”
The communication between Phantom Nightmare and the Dark Pupil was done almost instantaneously through the spirit, and the others could not catch the slightest flaw at all.
The Second Elder and the Third Elder had sat in the Demon Abyss for more than a thousand years, and had almost become the supreme rulers of the Demon Abyss, and they could no longer let go of the power in their hands, let alone risk confronting the God King head-on, so they secretly conspired to make such a decision.
Whether it is in humans, demons, or other intelligent races, conspiracy is always inseparable from desire, and when desire is hindered or influenced, conspiracy will naturally brew.
