Chapter 802: The Demon God Emperor’s Plan (I)
Agares continued, “The Demon God Emperor has told me that Long Haochen is currently very strong. To be able to describe someone as very strong with the Demon God Emperor’s cultivation, Long Haochen’s cultivation has probably exceeded what normal demon gods can deal with. That is why he has gathered the majority of the demon gods, to prevent Long Haochen from taking them out one by one. At the same time, he can gather strength for the war. The Demon God Emperor’s plan really can be regarded as comprehensive.”
“Then what do we do now? Do we alert Long Haochen?” The person in black asked.
Agares shook his head, “No, we keep waiting. I’ve already decided. The holy war this time is an important opportunity for us, but even if we do communicate with Long Haochen, we have to wait for reliable information. This time, we can’t afford anything to go wrong. Once we receive reliable information, I’ll personally pay a visit.”
“Alright.”
Bang! The huge Demon God Pillar immediately shattered, flying through the sky as countless fragments. Long Haochen hovered in the air as his pair of huge, white wings were completely unfurled. He seemed like an angel visiting from heaven.
Right below the Demon God Pillar, a demon god had already lost all of his aura of life. His
The battles in the six northern provinces had already come to an end. The human army that had split up into six groups was unstoppable, taking all six capital cities without a single doubt. Out of them, Long Haochen had found two demon gods, which both died to his hands. Even their Demon God Pillars were destroyed. The number of destroyed pillars now reached five.
“Old man Xiao, what’s the situation in the city?” Long Haochen asked Xiao Huo beside him.
Xiao Huo smiled, “Everything has been very successfully. Cai’er and the others have basically dealt with their issues. All of the resources and spatial rings had been taken away by the magicians. The Demon God Pillar’s been destroyed as well. What do we do next?”
Long Haochen said, “According to how much time’s past, the Demon God Emperor should have received reliable information no matter what. He should be taking action. Let’s gather our troops first and attack another province to the south. Let’s play hide and seek with the Demon God Emperor.”
...
“What?” A voice rang out in the Demon God Emperor’s residency.
Looking the handsome Agares, the Demon God Emperor broke out in a fury. He suddenly stood up and paced around the room.
Agares stood to one side with his hands by his side and looked at the flustered Demon God Emperor. He thought of something, but he did not show it at all on the surface.
“What a good Long Haochen.” Only after pacing around for five minutes did the Demon God Emperor stop. He squinted his eyes and his fury gradually subsided. It was replaced by a sliver of admiration.
“He made the most correct judgement in the shortest amount of time and committed to it, killing three of our demon gods first and destroyed the six northern capitals. He’s trying to draw me over!” The Demon God Emperor said coldly.
Agares nodded, “I’ve reached the same conclusion as your majesty. The news this time should be extremely accurate. The army that Long Haochen leads is not particularly large, but completely composed of elites. According to the scouts’ reports, they have over twenty powerhouses of the ninth step in his army and none of them have a weak cultivation. Probably only by gathering the upper echelon of the six temples can produce a force like this. Since that’s the case, the other human forts should be empty. Are we going to follow the plan and directly attack the Northeastern Fort?”
The Demon God Emperor squinted his eyes. After a while of thought, he shook his head, “No, Long Haochen’s shaken the foundation of my race. The six northern provinces are already in a mess. If it isn’t dealt with, it’ll threaten our reign. The cleverest part about Long Haochen is that he did not engage in wanton massacre, only destroying the economic heart of the six provinces. He’s only destroyed and pillaged the six capitals. That’s a fatal blow to the economy of the six provinces. Will the clans there stay quiet about this? There’s no need for the humans to do anything and the clans will automatically fall into internal strife from the lack of food sources. Before long, the entire north will descend into chaos. If we don’t quell it, the chaos will definitely extend southward. If it ends up covering too great of an area, we’ll be fighting at the front while behind us has fallen into chaos, which will make it difficult to determine the final victor of this holy war. The north must be stabilised and it must be done quickly. Long Haochen’s cleverest move is attacking a key point which invites reinforcements, forcing me to submit to his plan.”
Agares nodded, “Your majesty, why don’t you let me lead the Moon Demon Clan over? I have confidence that even if I can’t kill Long Haochen, I can force him and his group back to the territory of the humans. You’ll still be able to carry out the plan. As long as the union is in danger, Long Haochen will have to respond accordingly.”
The Demon God Emperor nodded gently, “That’s an idea. With your influence among the race, stabilising the six northern provinces won’t be an issue. As long as you last until we plunder enough resources from the humans, then the other problems will be dealt with as well. However, have you considered this other question? What if you can’t stop Long Haochen and you’re defeated instead?”
Agares was surprised, “Your majesty, does Long Haochen already possess the strength to defeat me?”
The Demon God Emperor shook his head, “He doesn’t yet. However, his cultivation’s already quite powerful now. Most importantly, he possesses two supra divine tools. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation is definitely one of them, while the other is a shield. When he saved Ye Xiaolei, he used the might of the shield to keep me back. Otherwise, how would he have been able to take away Ye Xiaolei in my presence? If he really does have over twenty ninth step powerhouses by his side which includes the Bright Glimmer of Hope, he’ll be difficult to deal with. And, we still have seven or eight demon gods scattered inland. If he continues his attack, it won’t just be an issue of a wavering foundation anymore.”
Agares asked, “Your majesty, you mean...?”
The Demon God Emperor’s eyes flickered with cold light, “I’ll give him what he wants. Last time, he had said that he hoped that he could fight with me and die in my hands. I granted him that honour. This time, I will grant him the same honour. I’d like to see whether he revives or not.”
With that, the Demon God Emperor returned to his throne. He said seriously, “Agares, under my order, the Moon Demon Clan and Star Demon Clan will send half of their people. You can choose twenty demon gods to accompany you, and then ask for two hundred clansmen above the seventh step from both Samigina and Marbas. You will enter battle with me. Ah’Bao.”
“Father,” Ah’Bao who stood to one side took a few steps forward in a hurry.
The Demon God Emperor glanced at him coldly, “Enter battle with me. I will give you twenty clansmen to serve as the vanguard. Set off tonight. Your mission is to find the exact location of Long Haochen and his army. Wait for us to arrive and we will destroy them in one fell swoop.”
“Yes, father.” Ah’Bao was unable to hide the excitement in his eyes. He immediately dropped one knee to the ground and accepted the order.
The Demon God Emperor said seriously, “I know, you’ve already wanted to kill Long Haochen personally. In the past few years, your cultivation has soared as well. However, you are serving as the vanguard. You cannot rush in prematurely, nor are you allowed to clash with Long Haochen recklessly. You must think for the army. If you are discovered by Long Haochen, you only need to lead the clansmen to keep him busy and pass the news back to the army.”
“Yes, father,” Ah’Bao bowed towards the Demon God Emperor once more before turning around and leaving in a hurry.
Watching Ah’Bao leave, Agares could not help but say hesitantly, “Your majesty, the crown prince is extremely ambitious. If you let him lead the vanguard, I’m afraid he’ll...”
The Demon God Emperor smiled indifferently, “How will he be able to improve without experiencing setbacks? He’s my son. Long Haochen still won’t be able to kill him. I’ll just let him go clash with Long Haochen. I’d like to see which of them is stronger. If it weren’t for Long Haochen who had ruined my plans, I would have passed the position of Demon God Emperor to Ah’Bao already.”
Agares was surprised by that and immediately understood. The crown prince was actually stronger than he seemed.
The Demon God Emperor continued, “Summon Samigina, Marbas and Valefor when you pass on my order.”
“Yes, your majesty.” Agares already had a vague idea of the Demon God Emperor’s plans. He sighed to himself and did not say anything about it. He quickly backed out of the hall and passed on the Demon God Emperor’s order.
Modu had already prepared with great intensity for quite a while now. With the Demon God Emperor’s command, the surroundings of Modu surged about.
Two hours later, the Demon God of Death Samigina, the Hell Demon God Marbas and the Bear Demon God Valefor rushed into the Demon Emperor Palace.
As soon as Valefor had entered the palace, he whirled his arm about, “Fourth brother, fifth brother, looks like his majesty trusts us the most! He’s passed such an important and good mission to us. Haha, I wonder whether Agares and Vassago are banging their heads against their walls in their palaces out of depression.”
The demon gods were divided into factions as well. The Moon Demon God and Star Demon God were on good terms, which everyone knew about, while the Demon God of Death, Hell Demon God and Bear Demon God were on rather close terms as well. Just the overall strength of their clans, that is, if the Fiend Clan, Hell Demon Clan and Bear Demon Clan were combined, would exceed the Moon Demon Clan and Star Demon Clan, because they possessed an absolute advantage in numbers. However, they were still ranked lower.
Samigina sneered, “What’s there to be happy about? That’s right, we’ve got the good mission this time, but we can only celebrate once we’ve taken the human’s fort. The humans aren’t that easy to be dealt with. And, his majesty hasn’t necessarily given us this important mission because he trusts us more. It’s because he believes we aren’t a threat to his reign at all.”
“Huh?” Valefor looked at Samigina in some confusion. His gaze was asking for a further explanation.
