Chapter 1095 Let's Fight for You
After the Demon Emperor killed the two Fuyun monks, he left Gufengkou.
The demon emperor has done what he should do, and naturally others will do the next thing.
However, although the Demon Emperor left and the high priest died in the battle outside the city, the Daliang defenders on the Gufengkou side were finally defeated. A large number of demons boarded the city. The deputy general responsible for attacking Gufengkou looked at the people on the city. The few human soldiers walked over slowly. On the way, they randomly tore off the arm of a human soldier and put it in their mouths and chewed it for a few times, until their mouths were filled with blood.
The higher the realm of the demon clan, the less thirsty it is for flesh and blood. However, in the current situation, with the demon clan army working so hard to reach the top of the city, the most primitive desire in the heart is naturally stimulated again.
The few soldiers looked at the extremely terrifying monster general in front of them, and they were extremely calm at the moment. Many of them looked very young, and they didn't know if it was their first time to step onto the battlefield, but they were no longer afraid at this moment.
"If you surrender and get under my crotch, I will let you go."
The demon deputy general spoke in broken human language, and the surrounding demon soldiers also laughed at this moment.
A Daliang border soldier dressed as a captain did not speak, but silently grabbed his colleague's knife, held it with his remaining left hand, and limped towards the demon army.
Behind him, a group of soldiers also picked up their weapons and walked slowly towards the front.
Gufengkou was lost. This was their responsibility. There was nothing they could do about it. Now, the only option was death.
Seeing the determination of these human soldiers, the demon lieutenant was also stunned, but he quickly reacted and said with a ferocious smile: "Don't be in a hurry to kill them later, it will taste better if you take out their hearts and souls alive!"
The demon soldiers responded with a roar, and at this moment, a city was filled with laughter.
…
…
After a few breaths of time, the demon clan deputy general threw out his heart, wiped his mouth, stood on the top of the city, and then said: "Send the battle report to Lord Hongxiu Demon Lord, saying that Gufengkou has been captured. It’s just that… the high priest died under the city.”
The expression on the face of the demon clan deputy general also became a little depressed at this moment. It was indeed a good thing to capture Gufengkou, but the high priest died here, and it was difficult for him to laugh.
He also admired the high priest as a person. Such a person should not have died so early.
Standing on the top of the city that had never been climbed before, the Demon Clan deputy general looked to the south. He heard that the human race's south has a pleasant climate and is very suitable for living. There is rarely heavy snow in winter there. Even if there is, it is just an addition to the scene. , rather than an environment that makes survival more difficult.
His eyes slowly scanned the city. There were corpses everywhere, human and demon. After the blood was mixed together, no one could tell who belonged to whom.
How can we tell the difference clearly?
His gaze suddenly stopped somewhere, and his face became a little ugly, because he saw a flag that had not fallen down even after all the human soldiers were killed.
The flag has the character Liang written on it.
The demon lieutenant walked over expressionlessly, then stretched out his hand, broke the flag, and threw it into a pool of blood.
"Nothing is so difficult to chew. A group of ants, no matter how united they are, should be crushed by us."
…
…
After capturing Gufengkou, the first thing the demon clan tried was to control the divine crossbow. If they had these crossbows, if the human race wanted to regain this pass later, they would have to suffer the consequences.
But in fact, the Ministry of War had already prepared for it. When building these divine crossbows, they had a backup plan. The demon clan's demonic energy could not be activated at all. However, the demon clan deputy general was decisive. After knowing that it could not be activated, After they were launched, they directly ordered the destruction of these crossbow vehicles.
After that, the demon army was ready, and they were not in a hurry to use this place as a base. They continued to attack the other surrounding passes. They were waiting for the human army, and they were also waiting for someone.
It's the Red Sleeve Demon Lord.
The commander of the demon clan's army actually arrived very quickly. She counted the time and arrived here quietly while retreating from the General's Mansion.
Not alone, but with a woman.
The demon princess Xilu.
The eldest princess and the princess are very similar in many ways.
The two people came to the top of the city, which the demon clan had not climbed for more than two hundred years. They were actually a little emotional for a while.
"I heard... the high priest died."
Xilu hesitated for a moment and said this.
The Red Sleeve Demon Lord did not hide it, he said bluntly: "Yes, I deliberately used Jing Zhu's life in exchange for this pass."
"Another chance for us to get on top of the city."
After the Red Sleeve Demon Lord said this, he was silent for a long time. Then he looked at Xilu. After thinking for a long time, he asked: "Do you also think that I am a little heartless?"
Xi Lu could clearly hear the tremor in her voice, so she thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter how I look at it. What matters is how the high priest thinks about it."
"Jing Zhu won't blame me. As long as he treats us well, he won't blame anyone."
The Red Sleeve Demon Lord spoke, but after saying this, her eyes became extremely sad.
He didn't blame anyone, but that wasn't the reason for him to be wronged.
"Actually, I have been thinking, if all the people like Jing Zhu die and all the people who survive are people like Bai Jing, then will this war be worth it?"
Red Sleeve Demon King said with a complicated look: "It's never the case that the one who does the most will suffer the most."
Xilu said: "But the only one who would choose to do this is the High Priest."
Red Sleeve Demon King smiled, but it was very bitter.
"Actually, I have another question. Since you can invite my father, how could the High Priest die?"
Xilu suddenly spoke, but after asking this question, without waiting for Red Sleeve Demon King to answer, Xilu knew the answer himself.
My father appeared here, and it was naturally his decision who lived and who died.
Not saving the High Priest meant that he also wanted the High Priest to die.
"But why?"
Xilu said puzzledly: "Isn't he the person my father trusts the most?"
In the past years, everyone knew that the High Priest was the most trusted minister of the Demon Emperor. No matter what happened, the High Priest stood by the Demon Emperor without any hesitation. In all dangerous situations, if the Demon Emperor could only trust one person, then it could only be the High Priest.
But now, are these all false?
Did the Demon Emperor want to wait for the High Priest to die?
"Trust is something that will spread and expand infinitely if there is doubt and cracks. Jing Zhu is too eager for this war and his relationship with me is too unusual. Although I know that he is only for the demon clan, not everyone will see him the same way as I do."
"He is the High Priest, the second most powerful person in the demon clan. He can only be loyal to him forever. Even if there is any other possibility, it is unacceptable to him."
Red Sleeve Demon King said here and glanced at Xilu again, "What's more, he has met you and you have talked about your mother."
Speaking of this, Xilu whispered: "I thought he told everything to my father."
Red Sleeve Demon King glanced at Xilu and smiled, "Maybe you don't know that he has some friendship with your mother."
"Then why didn't he tell me anything."
Xilu was a little confused.
The Red Sleeve Demon King smiled and said, "Because the answer is obvious."
Xilu was silent for a while, then said, "So you also know that your father will want him dead."
"This is one of the conditions for your father to take action."
This answer is very sad, because a demon king who takes action for the demon war should not need these things.
"Would he even mention these things?"
Xilu was a little disappointed.
"Of course not. You should really take a good look at the history books of the human race. Their emperor never speaks in detail."
Red Sleeve Demon King shook his head and said, "Think about it, why am I here now?"
Xilu thought for a while and said, "They want to take back Gufengkou."
"Yes, for them, the border troops can accept the loss of a pass, but those officials in the southern capital of God may not be able to accept it. The cultivators in the south will also be shaken, so they have to recapture this place as soon as possible."
Red Sleeve Demon King paced on the top of the city by himself, "But what can they do? Send a large army to fight, where to transfer the army?"
"It's just a matter of so little family assets."
Red Sleeve Demon King smiled and said, "That woman does have some ideas, but she has nothing in her hands, so no matter how many ideas she has, it's useless."
She remembered the saying that a good cook can't cook without rice very well.
"Since there is no army, there will only be one or two people?"
After Xilu said this, he whispered: "He will come."
Hongxiu Yaojun nodded and said: "Only he will come."
"Father has not left yet. This is a trap to kill him."
Xilu looked at Hongxiu Yaojun and felt that she had seen the truth of the matter.
"You still don't know your father very well."
In today's conversation, the word "father" appeared many times, but every time, Xilu was very calm. She no longer regarded him as father. No matter how she called him, there was no emotion in it.
So it was so calm.
"Since you have seen that young man's crazy look, and you think he can still threaten you, do you think he can easily fight him again?"
Hongxiu Yaojun knew her nephew very well. She even knew some things. At that time, the master of Chixin Temple, Wuyang Zhenren, joined hands with the leader of Jianzong to go to Shendu to kill the emperor of Daliang, but it didn't work in the end. But even so, the peerless warrior was seriously injured.
At that time, the Demon Emperor believed that there was no possibility of losing this time, so he personally challenged the Emperor of Daliang.
What was the result? The Demon Emperor almost died in Mobei, and the throne was almost taken by someone else.
After that, the Demon Emperor almost never made a move again, until Xilu almost died in the northern border before, he made a move again, and then, when Chen Chao wanted to break through the realm and enter Fuyun, he came to Daliang again in order to prevent Chen Che's nephew from entering that realm.
But everyone knows what happened afterwards.
He failed to kill Chen Chao and was injured in the end.
Chen Chao is still young now, and many powerful people do not regard him as a great figure, but the Demon Emperor has completely regarded him as a great enemy.
"But it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. I tied a big bag here. As long as he dares to come, I will tie this bag to death, and then..."
The Red Sleeve Demon King glanced at Xilu and said calmly: "After he dies, the war will naturally end."
"Will it be like this?"
Xilu murmured, not knowing what he was thinking.
Red Sleeve Demon King knew her feelings for Chen Chao, so he didn't want to say more to irritate his descendant. He just patted her head and said, "Xilu, just keep his skull when the time comes."
Xilu smiled and shook his head, "I don't drink much."
"But he must die too."
Red Sleeve Demon King looked at the bright moon rising in the sky, but soon smiled.
Because he saw a figure in that bright moon.
A young man in black has appeared here. He glanced at the demon soldiers on the top of the city wall, and also at the two important figures in the demon clan, and then said: "I don't want to die."
Red Sleeve Demon King smiled slightly and said coquettishly: "If you don't want to die, don't come."
The young warrior, who is unique in the world, covered his forehead and said calmly: "It seems that I have to come, right?"
Red Sleeve Demon King did not answer, but just looked around, then narrowed his eyes and said: "Why, just one person?"
Chen Chao said: "Isn't this what you expect?"
Red Sleeve Demon King shook his head and said seriously: "We are thinking about you and the swordsman together."
The strongest warrior, plus the most powerful swordsman in the world, it is reasonable to have the possibility of retaking this lonely wind pass, and this is what they want.
Chen Chao said: "It seems that you... have really prepared a lot of people?"
Red Sleeve Demon King did not speak.
Everywhere on the top of the city wall, powerful auras have gradually emerged one after another.
Several directions were completely blocked by those powerful demon cultivators.
Invisibly, a cage has been constructed.
Chen Chao felt the breath of those big demons and laughed at himself, "Is it worth mobilizing so many troops for me alone?"
"You are joking, sir. For a person like you, no matter how many people come, it is not enough."
The Red Sleeve Demon King narrowed his eyes, "I think you also know that Jing Zhu died here. I think you should be buried with him."
Chen Chao glanced at Xilu, and then his eyes fell on the Red Sleeve Demon King, "Mr. Dong and Mr. Lu died here, the dean died here, Liu Jianxian died here... and so many of my Daliang died here. To be honest, you owe us more."
"But there is no point in talking so much nonsense."
Chen Chao stretched out his hand, grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist, and said softly: "Come on, let me fight for you!"
