Chapter 149: Comeback!
“General! The northern defense line has been attacked by monsters!”
“General! There are monsters appearing from the Sang Zang Great Forest in both the northeast and northwest.”
“General!”
The feedback from the battlefront in the magic shadowstone made the middle-aged man addressed as general furrow his brow.
“Why are these beasts acting up again when they’ve been enjoying peaceful days? Don’t they understand the millennium-long non-aggression treaty?”
Indeed, the millennium-long non-aggression treaty signed by the Radiant King Mu Guang, the Goddess of Clear Rain, and the Demon King carries significant binding force. Even if the monsters manage to breach any of these three defense lines, they ultimately cannot occupy these areas due to the treaty’s constraints. Therefore, such endeavors are thankless tasks, and hordes of monsters like this are rarely seen anymore.
“General Ries! The 【Heaven Heart Demon King】 has appeared at the northern defense line!”
“What!!” The trembling voice from the magic sound stone left General Ries in disbelief. He immediately turned to the other personnel in the command center and said.
“Bring up the images from the front of the northern defense line!”
“Yes, sir!”
The personnel had naturally heard the voice from the magic sound stone earlier, and by the time General Ries gave the order, they had already begun to pull up the video.
In an instant, the screen unfolded, revealing a humanoid demon Claude in black armor emitting a faint blue aura before General Ries.
The middle-aged man’s pupils slightly contracted, and then his brow furrowed tightly.
“I need to leave for a moment.”
“Yes, sir!”
The next moment, General Ries had already appeared in the video feed of the northern defense line monitored by the staff.
“Kazanli! What do you want here!” Rage akin to that of a god burst forth from General Ries’s roar, spreading like waves. The very heavens and earth seemed to tremble. Among the attacking monsters, the weaker ones had already fled with their tails between their legs, while the stronger ones ceased their assault and began to retreat.
Only the humanoid demon standing in the void remained motionless.
“Ries, you little devil.” The awkward human language came out like a lump in his throat. Kazanli, known to the world as the Heaven heart Demon King, chuckled. Despite wearing a black helmet, his pleasure could be sensed just from his voice.
“Long time no see, Ries, you little devil!”
“I’m not here to exchange pleasantries, and you should know, depending on the situation, I will take action against you.” General Ries’s face darkened, and his demigod-level power gradually emanated, shining like a sun in the black night, illuminating the entire land. The once despairing defense forces now shed tears at the rollercoaster of emotions brought about by General Ries’s arrival.
Kazanli lightly tapped his helmet with his fingers, mocking as he replied.
“Use your head properly, Ries, you little devil. When will you ever grow up and learn? Uncle will teach you everything.”
General Ries narrowed his brow, a familiar expression to those who knew him, clearly indicating his growing anger. Knowing Ries’s habits despite not having seen him for over a hundred years, Kazanli quickly chuckled and said.
“Ries, you little devil, saying you don’t use your brain, it seems I’ll have to resort to action. Uncle really hopes you’ll grow up.”
“Kazanli!!”
Boom!! A massive collision emitted a terrifying light that shot into the sky, but this wasn’t caused by the battle between Kazanli and General Ries.
General Ries whipped his head around suddenly. The battle was taking place at the heart of the duchy, at the Duke’s Mansion!
Both forces were beyond the Imperial Seal level, and the terrifying shockwaves continued to ripple towards them, leaving General Ries shocked!
“This is Lord Laogeri’s aura!” General Ries, being the leader of all the soldiers, naturally had his own remarkable abilities. Years of experience allowed him to instantly associate this sudden monster attack with Lord Laogeri’s involvement.
“Kazanli, you’re baiting us!”
“Hehe, what are you talking about, Ries, you little devil. I’m sincerely aiming to kill millions of people here. If you leave now, I won’t be polite.”
“…It’s indeed a diversion. Something significant must have happened at the Duke’s Mansion. General Ries lightly pressed the magic sound stone in his pocket, but there was no response. Obviously, the Duke’s Mansion was being interfered with by some special power, rendering both the magic sound stone and the magic shadowstone unable to penetrate it.
Let’s hope Danmu, that little guy, can arrive in time.
“Well done.” Proxis, the God, praised as he set down his coffee. Kareyang, the God, chuckled without further praise. Then, the sickly young man continued.
“You people from Milik actually have a disposable sacred-grade item, the [Van Void Ship], and are willing to expend such a precious thing for a surprise attack. Truly wealthy and extravagant.”
“Haha, I thought you guys had figured out this step, but it turns out you were caught off guard by the general. Your little ones at home still need some more training.” Kareyang laughed heartily, but Proxis shook his head slightly.
“Although the most impulsive one among them is older than all of us combined, we still can’t make any conclusions until the final moment.”
“Do you think they can turn the tables?”
“If they can turn the tables, don’t you find that interesting?”
