Chapter 56

Demon Realm

After Odd ordered the siege the next day, the demon went to the camp where the Elder Shu was.

The march to the imperial city was already a sure thing, and she couldn't change it on her own, so she calmed down and obeyed the destiny of heaven.

In contrast, it was the unclear situation that worried her even more.

According to her orders, Gray Flame did not leave the camp tent every step of the way, and when he saw the demon coming, he immediately rubbed the corners of her clothes affectionately, with the intention of inviting merit.

The demon stood at the mouth of the tent, and the curtain in front of her was tattered, and it was only hidden, but it made her hesitate.

What are you afraid of, ashamed of what you are about to say, or afraid to see his reaction?

The enchantress lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

Neither. What scared her was that he would never hear her again.

His abnormality, his avoidance, made her give birth to many unpleasant conjectures.

She almost wanted to turn away, and the situation in the tent became "Schrödinger's cat". But in the end, after several psychological struggles, she still cut her hair and opened the curtain as usual.

The fire in the tent had been completely extinguished and covered with frost. The moment the curtain opened, a cloud of black gas rushed towards the demon with a strong wind.

Before the demon could react, the black qi suddenly stopped in front of her.

As if to confirm the aura of the comer, after a brief pause, the black qi spread out in all directions, enveloping her in a void, like a gentle hug.

The demon seemed to realize something, and froze in place.

But after giving a hug, the black gas seemed to have fulfilled his wish, and disappeared into the air in an instant, leaving the demon to wrap around his arm in vain, trying to retain the faint temperature that belonged to the demon clan.

It's like a device that has fallen into disrepair, and it's hard to get back up and running, and the feeling of soreness gnaws at it abrasively somewhere in the body.

And when the demonic gaze touched the object next to the fire, the soreness suddenly sharpened into pain, spreading explosively.

The black-shiny token lay there quietly.

She barely suppressed the trembling of her fingertips and picked it up.

The jade card was carved with strange patterns, and it was still a little warm to the touch, but she went straight to look at the back.

There was an eye-catching crack on the warm jade face, cut diagonally from left to right, just like the wound on the man's back that ran from his left shoulder to his right crotch when he first saw it.

The demon clenched the mercenary order, clutched his chest, and bent down to gasp. Through a layer of flesh and blood, she also felt her heartbeat thunderous.

It wasn't until this moment of loss that her heart confirmed to her that it was love, not lust.

This demon clan is her heart lover.

She looked down at the mercenary order and smiled grimly.

She should have expected that. He knows everything about military talismans, but he shows no desire to take them; Even if he is mistaken for a thief and hunted down, he will never be able to excuse himself.

Because the disappearance of the soldier is indeed related to him.

He's the mercenary order.

How can a token that can command all mercenaries with the power of a contract be mortal? Absorbing the aura of heaven and earth all year round, coupled with sucking the blood sworn by mercenaries, he successfully cultivated into a demon and condensed the entity.

Since he opened his eyes, he has been endlessly hunting, but even so, he has never given up this hard-won freedom.

However, the appearance of the demon made him voluntarily turn back into a military talisman and give up hundreds of years of cultivation in order to fulfill her loyalty.

He promised to help her change the status quo at all costs.

It should be regarded as a reward for her two protections.

The demon sat in the middle of the tent, feeling the wind squeeze through the gaps in the hole, bringing cold air that filled the tent.

What would it be like for him to feel at the last moment before he lost consciousness and completely reverted back to the talisman?

The demon blinked, shaking off the thin frost that floated on her eyelashes. She suddenly realized that this area, where she had lived for hundreds of years, was really chilling to the bone.

In the last moment, will he feel cold?

His last thoughts, is he sighing at the endless winter of the demon world?

"After this experience, we will leave here and go to a warm place." She pressed the mercenary order to her heart and solemnly promised.

And now, she is going to her sovereign to show her last loyalty, in order to repay the kindness of a hundred years ago.

The demon strode to Odd's tent, not giving the other party a chance to react, and with a shake of the rattan whip in his hand, it directly wrapped around Odd's neck and twisted off his head. The accompanying soldiers fought each other and called on their companions to come and encircle the demon.

But the woman standing in the encirclement kicked away Odd's head, and with a tiredness that others didn't understand, she held up the black talisman.

"It's time for the leader here."

The mercenary order glowed red at the right time, as if in response to the enchanting words.

The mercenaries who had made a contract naturally sensed it, and although they were unwilling, they could only put down their swords and show a posture of following.

Standing on the periphery of the mercenary circle, he looked at the demon who accepted everyone's surrender from a distance, and thought suddenly: Maybe he was wrong, it was no longer his sister Liuyun.

That's the demon general, arrogant and arrogant, and would rather die for the king than turn his back on his life.

In that case, it's time for him to decide where he stands.

But as an elder brother, how can he not favor his sister, so for him, this is not a choice question at all.

Even if he knows that there is a dead end in front of him, he will go down with the demon without hesitation.

Holmium walked through the many mercenaries, walked to the side of the demon, gestured with his chin, and after exchanging glances with each other, the demon waved his hand and dispersed the soldiers around him.

"I told you before that Odd is just a pawn, and there is someone else behind it. In this game, the Demon Lord's victory rate is very low, but now that you have obtained the mercenary order and decided to be loyal to the king, then I will also do my best to help you and make this defeated battle usher in a turnaround. ”

"There are internal ghosts in the imperial city, in order to avoid startling the snakes, I suggest that we first launch an attack tomorrow as Aode planned, and then deal with it according to the situation."

"If things go well, without a single soldier, we will be welcomed into the Imperial City. And all the mercenaries are at your disposal, and if the situation is unfavorable, we can also launch a mutiny at any time to buy time for the demon lord. ”

Holmium reveals his thoughts and thoughts, and the demon also understands the sincerity he wants to show.

But even if he doesn't come to surrender, she will try to get him to compromise. Now that Aode is dead, if Holmium, who is a military advisor, is not in the team, I am afraid that it will make the ghosts in the imperial city suspicious.

is reasonable, and the demon will release his suspicions with him.

"How much do you know about the people behind the scenes?"

Phosphema looked a little uneasy when he heard this, but he still confessed in a fifteen-ten manner, "After we separated, I searched for you to no avail, thinking that you were dead, and I was so grief-stricken that I thought of suicide, but I was accidentally rescued by him. Later, in return for my kindness, I agreed to help him take the throne......"

The demon frowned when she heard this, although the family no longer exists, as the nobles of the old days, they still attach great importance to the purity of the royal bloodline, which is why she is so loyal to Leng Yue. Even if it is to repay the grace of saving his life, the Holmium should not allow such a rebellious thing, unless......

"That person's name is Ziyi, his father's surname is Yeyu, he is the eldest son of the Demon Ancestor and Leng Yue's elder brother."
