Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 109 The Destroyer of Fate

Seven days later, the capital of the Hennu people, Deshi City.

Unlike the Ignivas, whose cities included many ordinary people within their walls until the city was full before expanding beyond, the Hennu cities clearly did not include ordinary people—even though the magnificent city was so large, only Hennu priests were qualified to enter it.

This is because the city is a sanctuary dedicated to Dehennu, the god of the sacred cow.

Rather than a city, it was more like a temple; this was the Des City of the Hennus.

When the messenger arrived in haste, the Hennu monks were gathered together discussing the matter of sending the three demon gods to the other side of the Great Snow Mountain. After all, according to the message brought back by the delegation, the ancient serpent on the other side of the Great Snow Mountain, as well as those monkey-like beings known as the Ignivas, were extremely evil.

Since it is evil, we must strike hard. Three equally evil and terrifying demon gods are enough to completely destroy it.

After the evil is destroyed, the Hennu will migrate there and take over everything in that land.

Of course, the idea is good. If everything goes according to plan, the Hennu will ultimately gain everything. After all, no matter how powerful the three demon gods are, it is only reflected in their combat. As for how to manage the land, they are far from having the wisdom of the Hennu, which comes from the sacred bull god Dehennu.

But here's the problem: things don't always go exactly as they plan.

"What if those three demon gods hadn't been able to kill that ancient serpent?"

During this time, many monks had this question in their minds. After all, if the three demon gods had really won, they should have known by now. But now, the three demon gods had not sent back any news after setting off, which made them worried.

However, only the young monks would have such concerns.

As for the elderly minotaurs, they had no such worries at all.

"Because no matter how you look at it, it's a good thing."

Seeing that the young monks still had doubts, the old minotaurs patiently explained once again.

"If the three demon gods kill the ancient serpent, that would naturally be a good thing, and everything would return to the Hennu people. If the three demon gods fail to kill the ancient serpent, that wouldn't be a bad thing either... After all, the reason why demon gods are called demon gods instead of gods is because their will is not actually that firm."

Their will wasn't that firm, meaning they could turn against each other at any time. After all, the demons were willing to go to the other side of the snowy mountain because they thought it would be profitable.

In other words, if killing the Hennu would be profitable for the demons, then the three demons would not hesitate to turn around and attack the Hennu.

"This……"

The young monks were stunned.

The demon god we sent out has betrayed us; this doesn't seem like a good thing at all.

How can these elderly monks still be laughing?
"Perhaps in your eyes, demons represent irresistible violence... but think about it carefully, no matter how strong they are, they are still demons after all."

Upon hearing this, many young monks immediately understood.

Yes, that's really the case. The reason why demons are demons is because they are unstable and uncontrollable. If those three demons really chose to betray and go to the evil ancient serpent, would that really be a good thing for the ancient serpent?

At first glance, this might seem like a good thing, but as time goes on, the destructive power of the demons will eventually manifest. They will ravage that land, unleashing wave after wave of chaos east of the Great Snow Mountain, until the ancient serpent and the so-called Ignivas are completely weakened. And at that time, it will be the Hennu's turn to appear.

The Hennu people, carrying the glory of the sacred bull god, will save that land and restore order to everything.

Of course, this is only the kind of orderliness that applies to the Hennu people. It's the kind of orderliness where the Hennu people are the brains, the demons and warriors are the henchmen, and those who don't even have the most basic fighting ability are taken as lowly people to be responsible for production.

After understanding everything, the young monks finally relaxed. After all, no matter how you looked at it, the Hennu had won—the Hennu were destined to reap everything when the three demons were sent out.

The only difference is probably how to win and how much to win.

But the act of winning itself is absolute and unwavering.

"This is the wisdom of the sacred bull god!"

The elderly minotaurs gave their summary, and the rest of the Hennu clapped and laughed. In an instant, the magnificent temple became a sea of ​​joy.

Until that messenger broke into the temple.

"What? Those Ignivas have made demands?"

Upon hearing the messenger's report, the elderly minotaur monk chuckled.

It's not that we're afraid of making demands, it's that we're afraid of not making any demands. Since those monkeys on the other side of the mountain have already started asking the Hennu for favors, it means that they are not far from being completely conquered by the Hennu.

This made the atmosphere at the scene even more enjoyable.

"You mean they want a saber-toothed tiger... a saber-toothed tiger?"

The old minotaur was about to laugh out loud when he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

He could understand if they wanted gold and gems, and even if they wanted divine feeders, it was still within his comprehension, since these were originally brought by the Hennu to control the Ignivas.

But now... all they want is a saber-toothed tiger?
It's just such a small thing...

The Hennu, however, could not do it.

After all, the west side of the Great Snow Mountain is quite different from the east side. On the west side of the Great Snow Mountain, there are lions with manes and tigers with stripes. But these tigers called saber-toothed tigers... If the Ignivas people hadn't drawn the image of the tiger's head with long teeth on the birch bark, the Hennu people wouldn't even know what the so-called saber-toothed tiger actually looked like.

However, it won't work if you can't produce a saber-toothed tiger.

"Their leader, that Crimson Shadow, has already emerged from the Snow Mountain Tunnel."

The Hennu who came to deliver the news trembled all over, as if he had remembered something terrifying.

"He said that if we couldn't hand over the saber-toothed tigers, he would kill all the Hennu people."
