The Heavenly Snake Kingdom is at the forefront of the demon clan, and it is also the only city in the demon clan that does not have a demon saint in charge!
Of course, it is not that there are no demon saints in charge.

It's just that after the death of the previous demon emperor, when the entire demon clan fell into a state of no master for decades, the previous human emperor took the opportunity to launch an attack and wiped out the entire Heavenly Snake Kingdom.

And the demon saint who was in charge of the Heavenly Snake Country at that time was also killed in this battle.

Later, although the demon emperor Kong Xuan took back the Heavenly Snake Country to the Monster Race, he never assigned the Heavenly Snake Country to a certain Monster Race Saint to sit in charge due to some concerns.

Up until now, the Heavenly Snake Kingdom has once again ushered in a bigger war after just a few decades.

When Gu Cheng stood in front of the city gate of the Heavenly Snake Kingdom for the third time, his state of mind changed drastically once again. Looking at the city with its closed gate in front of him, he no longer had the feeling he had when he came here before. The scene of prosperity, Gu Cheng couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.

I don't know how many people and monsters will die here once the war between the two races starts.

After looking back, the [-] monster army was waiting for them, and they all followed not far behind.

What surprised Gu Cheng the most was that apart from retaining some characteristics of monsters, the [-] monster army was almost the same as human beings as a whole.

These are monsters that have activated their spiritual intelligence, and have completed the most basic transformation, and can understand orders.

Just when Gu Cheng was secretly worried about the upcoming war, the originally closed gate of the city suddenly opened, and then a group of dozens of monsters from the Heavenly Snake Kingdom who retained the characteristics of the monster race came out to welcome them.

When Gu Cheng came back to his senses, he saw that the group of people had already approached, and he saluted Kong Zhaoling who was beside him respectfully, "Bai Chengliang, the person in charge of the Heavenly Snake Kingdom, is here to see Your Highness the Princess."

Gu Cheng looked at it, and found that the man in front of him was almost identical to a human except for his ears, which looked like cow ears.
Kong Zhaoling was wearing a green battle armor at this time, and he was not polite to the visitors, and said directly: "General Bai, you are welcome, my father ordered me to lead an elite army of [-] demon clans to fight this first stop, and I also invite General Bai Wanwang Cooperate."

Hearing this, the man from the monster tribe called General Bai by Kong Zhaoling glanced at the 30 monster army standing behind Kong Zhaoling in a murderous look. At present, there are [-] demon clansmen waiting for Her Royal Highness to dispatch at any time!"

Seeing that the visitor's attitude was very cooperative, Kong Zhaoling's serious face finally softened a little at this time, and then said to him: "Very good, now let my army enter the city and prepare to deploy defenses. I believe the human army will arrive soon. , before that we are ready to deal with each other!"

"Yes, yes, I know that the city has already made preparations, Your Highness, please!"

The general Bai who came to greet him hurriedly stepped aside after hearing the words, and then ordered the people behind him to completely open the city gate and let the army enter the city!

Seeing this, Kong Zhaoling nodded in satisfaction, and after summoning the messenger to give the order to enter the city, he looked at Gu Cheng who was at the side and said, "My son-in-law, let's enter the city and prepare."

Naturally, Gu Cheng would not object. Hearing this, he just nodded slightly, and the two of them entered the city first, and the [-] elite monster army behind them also entered the city together.

After entering the city, Gu Cheng realized that the streets of the city, which were still very lively when he came last time, were already empty and there was no one there.

But even so, Gu Cheng quickly noticed many eyes peeking at him from behind the doors of the rooms on both sides of the street.

As if aware of his gaze, the general Bai who was leading the way immediately said: "After receiving the order from His Royal Highness the Demon Emperor, in order to facilitate management and welcome the upcoming conquest of the human race, the whole city will be The city is completely under martial law, and no one is allowed to go out on the street except the demon soldiers who are responsible for guarding the city."

Gu Cheng nodded slightly when he heard the words, and couldn't help but look at the monster general in front of him in surprise, but he didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Kong Zhaoling couldn't help but nodded slightly after hearing the words of the monster general, "General Bai did a good job, but there are still many humans in the Heavenly Snake City, but I don't know how you deal with it?"

Hearing Kong Zhaoling suddenly raised this question, Gu Cheng finally couldn't help raising his spirits secretly, looked at the monster general in front of him, and wondered how he would deal with these humans who came to the Heavenly Snake Kingdom.

General Bai knew that the princess's son-in-law was a human being. Seeing Gu Cheng looking at him, he nodded slightly, then looked at Kong Zhaoling and explained, "If you go back to Your Highness, the humans in Tiansnake City have been here for a long time. When I learned that the Great Xia Renhuang was going to conquer the monster clan, I was temporarily controlled by my subordinates. I don’t know if Her Royal Highness has any opinions on how to deal with it? Do you want to kill these humans as a blood sacrifice for my monster clan army?"

Gu Cheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, he didn't expect that General Bai, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, would suddenly raise such an opinion at this time.

As if he didn't notice Gu Cheng's abnormality, Kong Zhaoling showed a very interested expression when he heard the words, and said, "Oh, how many human beings are there in total?"

"All together, there are more than 5 human beings in total. Most of these people are some human beings who came from the border of Daxia, and are businessmen who trade in our Heavenly Snake Country."

"Oh, there are [-]?" Kong Zhaoling muttered silently, then looked at Gu Cheng casually, and said, "My son-in-law, what do you think these human beings should do? Should they all be killed as a blood sacrifice for my army? keep it?"

Gu Cheng looked at the Peacock Princess beside him, knowing that these words must be testing himself again.

According to the situation I have shown before, I shouldn't care about the life and death of these 5 human beings.

However, he was very worried, if he really didn't care, whether these 5 humans would really be sacrificed by the blood of these monster races.

He wanted to restrain himself from caring about the life and death of these people, but he still couldn't convince himself to ignore all of this in his heart.

After suffering in his heart for a long time, Gu Cheng finally stopped in his tracks, and then looked at Kong Zhaoling, who had a half-smile in front of him, and said: "The Linger I know may be naughty, or weird, but he never ignores Life, whether it is the life of the human race or the monster race."

However, the Lord did not respond to his words of persuasion to Kong Zhaoling, and proposed massacre, "Hmph, the son-in-law didn't say that because he is a human being, did he?"

Gu Cheng turned his head to stare at the demon and said in a deep voice, "The strong wield their swords at the stronger ones, and the weak wield their swords at the weaker ones! Doesn't General Bai have the confidence to defeat the human conquest army head-on? Can the weak who have no resistance vent their anger?"

Hearing that the young human being in front of him said that about himself in front of His Royal Highness, General Bai immediately said everything out of anger, and just pointed at Gu: "You..."

However, Gu Cheng ignored this person, instead he directly looked at Kong Zhaoling, who was frowning slightly and didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and said: "It's understandable for each other to kill enemies on the battlefield for their own interests, but if it's just for the so-called If you don’t have strong morale, you will take action to slaughter some life that has no resistance, so please forgive me. I don’t think Her Royal Highness should be so reckless, right?”

Kong Zhaoling looked at Gu Cheng in front of him fixedly, and after a long time, he smiled calmly and said: "Of course, this princess will not commit any crimes, but decades ago, the previous emperor took advantage of the fact that my monster clan had no master, and sent The army has bloodbathed the Heavenly Snake Kingdom and killed countless monster races in our Heavenly Snake Kingdom for no reason, so how should we settle this account?"

"..."

Gu Cheng was speechless, of course he knew about this matter, and no one knew better than him how deep the bloody feud of bloodbathing a city was.

At this moment when the other party brought up this matter, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't utter words of defense.

Lowering his head slightly, Gu Cheng secretly sighed, knowing that these 5 human beings were probably destined for a blood sacrifice.

Although he was very helpless about this, there was nothing he could do.

If there hadn't been the past that the Human Emperor sent an army to bloodbath the Heavenly Snake Country, then the 5 human beings might have survived today.

Perhaps, this is the legendary causal cycle, the so-called fate.

Thinking of this, he has a deeper understanding of Guixian Jiuwen in his heart!
And just when he was lamenting the blood sacrifice fate of these 5 humans, he heard Kong Zhaoling say again: "However, if the son-in-law wants me to let these 5 humans go, it's very simple. Just promise me one condition."

Gu Cheng, who had already had no hope of saving people, was startled when he heard the words, and quickly looked at Kong Zhaoling and asked, "What conditions does Your Royal Highness want me to agree to?"

If one condition can be used to exchange the lives of 5 people, Gu Cheng feels that this account is actually quite a bargain.

He is not a saint. The reason why he wants to save people so much at this time is because he remembered the Snow Monk from the Northern Region who helped him, and the Divine Phoenix from the South China Sea, and remembered their expectations for him.

Kong Zhaoling smiled slightly, and then stated his own conditions: "It's very simple, in this battle against the conquest of the human race, you need to obey my command honestly."

Gu Cheng frowned slightly when he heard the words. In fact, even though he followed Kong Zhaoling here, he did not agree to his action.

Before that, he had already told Kong Zhaoling that he would not take part in the battle between the two races.

And Kong Zhaoling has never forced him to participate in the battle between the human and monster races. Even though he was ordered by the demon emperor this time, Gu Cheng came here to accompany Kong Zhaoling on the one hand, and to find a suitable opportunity to leave Yaozu.

But now, Kong Zhaoling asked himself to obey her command in this battle, which was obviously trying to pull him into the water and cut off his retreat.

How could Gu Cheng not see this?
It would be impossible for Gu Cheng to agree normally, but at this time, facing the threat of 5 lives, Gu Cheng had to think carefully.

It was very simple for him to refuse, and I believe that Kong Zhaoling would not do anything against him because of his refusal.

However, it is hard to say that the lives of 5 people in this city are in danger.

Looking up at Kong Zhaoling who had been staring at him, Gu Cheng finally nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, if Her Highness the Princess spares these 5 humans, I will follow the instructions of Her Highness the Princess."

Hearing that Gu Cheng agreed to his conditions, Kong Zhaoling was overjoyed immediately, nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you participate in this battle unless it happens."

Looking at the smiling Kong Zhaoling, Gu Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "I hope so."

After the two agreed, Kong Zhaoling turned his eyes to General Bai and ordered: "Take care of those humans. After this battle, if there is no accident, they can be released!"

That General Bai was obviously not convinced, and he still wanted to tell the difference: "Here, Your Royal Highness..."

But at this time, Kong Zhaoling had already made up his mind, how could he listen to their opinions, when he saw this, he interrupted this person's defense in a cold voice and said: "Do according to orders!"

Although the general Bai was unwilling in his heart, it was no longer his turn to make decisions here, so he could only nod his head unwillingly when he heard the words.

After this matter came to an end, the elite army of [-] monsters had all entered the city, and quickly took over all the city guards.

Gu Cheng and Kong Zhaoling found a large mansion in the center of the city as a temporary central army. After a little rest, they came to the head of the city together and began to observe the surrounding situation.

After reaching the top of the city, I looked around and saw that there were lush forests not far from the surrounding area of ​​Tiansnake City.

At this time, it was late autumn, most of the leaves had fallen, and the cold wind was blowing, and the whole world seemed to be filled with a killing atmosphere.

Seeing this scene, Kong Zhaoling frowned immediately and said: "There are so many trees covering it, if the human army hides in it and suddenly launches a sneak attack, I'm afraid it will be bad for us. Go, order the elephant army to dispatch, and quickly level off all the trees around here !"

Following her order, under Gu Cheng's surprised gaze, a group of demon clan troops left the city soon.

Then, the thousands of monster army showed their true colors almost instantly, and thousands of elephants with a size of one foot rushed towards the nearby woods together, making a deafening long roar.

Gu Cheng was very shocked, knowing that this is probably the special feature of the monster race, and it is also the place where ordinary monster races are stronger than humans.

They can restore the demon body at any time, and the demon body is more tenacious than the human body.

He couldn't imagine what kind of lethality would be caused when all these monster races revealed their real bodies!

Almost in just a short moment, Gu Cheng found that the nearby forest that originally covered his sight quickly disappeared into the mouths of these elephant soldiers, and his vision was wide open! (end of this chapter)
