The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

He was extremely excited; this was truly a godsend!

Since he has not had any notable military achievements in recent years, his strength has stagnated at the peak of level seven.

During this period of time, I haven't found any opportunity to move forward.

I just keep eating every day, relying on food to slowly increase my strength, and I don’t know when it will end.

As a result, he heard this good news as soon as he woke up today. For him, that drop of Gluttonous King's blood was the best opportunity to enter the eighth level.

Must get it!

Chapter 209: Attack on Hot Wind Heights

Krashina generously gave Caesar and Hill a teleportation scroll. Although Hill is now qualified to compete for the position of head of the family, she is still free and can return to the territory. She only needs to report her situation to the tribe regularly, about once every three months.

As for the round-trip teleportation scrolls, all of them were reimbursed by the family.

In the past, Hill would never have received such treatment.

On the lawn of Bitui Territory, Caesar took a long time to come back to his senses. The dizziness from each teleportation was unbearable for him. It was hard to imagine how those space mages could resist vomiting while walking around all day long.

"Caesar, are you okay?" Hill held Caesar's arm and tried to help him up, but Caesar was still too heavy for her. She could only pat Caesar's back gently and said like coaxing a child, "I felt bad the first time I teleported, but I got used to it after a few more times. It's great that I didn't vomit."

Caesar stood up and looked around.

Hill walked around to him again and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? I'll order the servants to prepare it right away. What do you want to eat?"

"No more eating." Caesar shook his head.

"I want to go back to Hot Wind Highlands to take a look."

He had been away from Hot Wind Highlands for a long time, and he didn't know how Hot Wind Highlands had developed during this period, or whether Shana and Allen had obtained any valuable commissions from humans.

He needs money and needs to continue to become stronger.

He had no time to waste.

"I'll go back with you."

Hill quickly said, "I am your wife now, and I should always be with you. From now on, Bitui Territory will also be your territory. It's a pity that I can't apply to the Demon King to merge the two territories."

Merging territories just because of a husband and wife relationship is against the rules of the Demon Realm. The merger of territories can only be a life-and-death struggle between the two lords. Otherwise, some demons may only need marriage to obtain the inheritance rights of a powerful territory.

For example, succubus is a typical example.

The Demon King cannot hand over his territory to demons with poor combat effectiveness. Unlike the human society based on favors, the size of the demon territory must be closely related to the strength of the lord.

Caesar nodded and agreed for Hill to follow.

But he didn't know yet that a war was approaching Hot Wind Heights.

...

There was a clanging sound and chaos in the military camp.

The goblins loaded flour and dried meat onto the carts, as well as bundles of arrows with messy tail feathers; the dwarf blacksmiths were busy polishing the spare swords and axes as smooth as possible at the last minute; the armor was thrown into the sand bucket, and the kobolds were responsible for rubbing the rust off the armor; the ogres swung their hammers up and down, and these hastily made weapons were not very handy, but just barely usable; finally a basin of dirty water extinguished the campfire, and with the neighing of horses, the roar of demons, and the melodious sound of horns, when the noise reached its peak, the army finally set out.

This is a ragtag army composed of various monsters. At first glance, their combat effectiveness seems not very good, but the number of people is there after all, and the actions of the entire army are still quite imposing. Their leader is none other than Claude, the second son of Sir Hassan of Mordor City who has been "lying on straw and tasting gall" and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

He spent a week gathering this ragtag group of troops, just to take advantage of the exhausted situation of Hot Wind Heights to give Caesar a lesson, destroy Caesar's lair, and then see how he would regret it.

At this moment, the second son was sitting cross-legged on the chariot at the front of the army. A group of goblins were carrying the chariot. Claude was wearing brand new black steel armor, and the weapons in his hands were all refurbished. The blades were shiny and shone like mirrors in the sun.

He didn't feel bad about spending the money because he knew he could get more from Hot Wind Heights. He was full of confidence and pride.

"You will all join my army in the future!" Claude announced loudly. The demons formed two teams behind him and followed closely, silently listening to the leader's speech: "We will surely win the war today, and my, Claude's legend will begin with the conquest of Hot Wind Highlands!"

...

The army took advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on the Red Fort's walls, which had not yet been fully repaired.

After a week, no matter how hard Ted and his men tried, they were unable to restore the shattered walls of the Red Castle to their original state. It was fortunate that Caesar had fought the spider demon at the edge of the city, otherwise the entire Red Castle's wall system would have been in name only.

Just some wooden frames were built at the gap in the Red Fort's wall.

Claude was overjoyed when he saw this scene. He heard that the Red Castle had experienced a great battle, but he did not expect the city walls to have been rotten like this. At this moment, he was sure that his legend had begun.

Four huge ogres pushed battering rams onto the battlefield.

...

The wind howled overhead at Sirocco Heights.

Even though this place is covered with fire crystal mines, it is still cold.

Broken Tooth cursed as he climbed down the rope ladder of the city wall. The original stone stairs had not been repaired yet, and now all the demons could only climb up and down like this. A wind wolf was waiting for him below. He jumped onto the wind wolf and commanded it to gallop along the street.

The streets around the Red Fort have been cleared.

Apart from the demon soldiers marching around, the demon residents who originally lived here hid in their rooms and refused to go out. Now they were not needed to engage in production and logistics, they just had to keep quiet and not hold back.

The empty streets were conducive to the deployment of defensive forces near the city walls, especially for messengers like him who could reach the location faster. But even so, when he arrived at the tower in front of the Red Castle, Broken Tooth still heard the sound of wood being violently impacted.

The gates creaked on their hinges like the painful groans of a dying giant.

"Lord Ted, the city gate is about to be breached!"

As soon as Broken Tooth finished shouting, the tower door was kicked open and Ted Wildblood walked out with a gloomy face.

"It's only been a short while and the city gate is about to be breached? What's going on!?"

There were wounded demon soldiers lying on the ground under the tower, but there were also many who were pretending to be injured, mostly goblins. After Caesar left, the newly born goblins once again showed their laziness and cowardice.

Shana was applying medicine to the injured demons.

To her, every injured person deserves to be taken seriously.

But to the demons, they are just cannon fodder.

At present, these cannon fodders are enough to form a team, and staying here will be a waste of resources.

"You bunch of idiots, line up!"

The roar of the lion demon frightened the wounded soldiers so much that they trembled all over and climbed up from the ground tremblingly. At this time, the city gate shook again and the hinges creaked.

"Broken Tooth, rush out with them! We can't let the battering ram continue to hit the door!"

Ted Wildblood already regretted it.

Damn it, he shouldn't have repaired that broken gate in the first place, resulting in only one gate left on the Red Castle wall.

Both the Dragon's Breath Tower and the Magic Cannon require magic crystals, which had been used up during the battle with the Spider Demon. The reloading speed of the crossbow could not keep up with the enemy's attack speed. In other words, as long as the city gate was gone, it would mean that the entire Red Castle would no longer have any defensive power.

Chapter 210: No Turning Back

"You can't go out!" A tall figure emerged from the shadows in the corner of the tower.

The elf lady, wearing tight chain mail and carrying a bow and arrow, leaned against the cold wall with her arms folded across her chest. She was covered in dust, and her right hand was drooping and trembling slightly. There was a half-inch long cut on her arm, and blood was still flowing out. Drops of blood fell on the ground, staining a piece of stone red.

“What if we don’t go out of the city gate? Watch it get smashed to pieces by those damn demons?!”

Ted-Blood glared at Cesineti and pointed at the crumbling city gate.

Cecilia looked at Ted coldly and said nothing.

The blood-stained troll elder Uller walked out from behind the tower, breathing heavily and saying, "Lord Ted, we fought our way out, but the enemy was well-armed and we were beaten back. The king is not here, and we consumed a lot of supplies in the previous fight against the Crypt Spiders. Even if we open the city gate and get out, it would be in vain."

"Hold your weapons tightly, look at how careless you are!" Cecilia growled at the goblins and the injured lion demons, "If I see you retreat one step on the battlefield, I guarantee that your head will be pierced by my arrows before it is smashed by the enemy!"

The elf lady walked out of the shadows with a gloomy face, and the scimitar at her waist reflected the firelight.

Ted Kuangxue was oppressed by the murderous aura of Cecilia Ti, and his breathing stagnated. His tone softened a little: "Look at the city gate. If the city gate is destroyed, the demons will rush in, and our last line of defense will be gone!"

"Then open the door!" Cecilia took the bow and arrows from her back and stuck the quiver on the ground. "We should ambush them at the door in advance and kill them as soon as they come in. We have already lost too many soldiers. We cannot go out and waste our lives in vain."

Cersinati had not had much experience in fighting with the staff, but she was obviously much smarter than the stubborn Ted-Blood. In fact, she was not sure about it, but she knew that the most important thing now was to conserve strength and delay time. Once Caesar came back, all problems might be solved.

"...I need wine." The troll elder panted.

It was only then that everyone noticed that the tall troll's body was covered with wounds, and there were still two arrows stuck in his waist.

"Mr. Uller, you are still injured and cannot move freely!"

Shana ran out from behind the tower, her face full of anxiety. She had just gone to the warehouse to find herbs to stop bleeding. She had originally intended to heal Ullr's wounds, but ended up seeing only a pool of blood at the original location. The continuous and high-intensity treatment work made her face covered in sweat, and her originally snow-white skirt was also stained with blood.

"Wine." Uller just shouted in a low voice: "I will lead these soldiers to surround and kill the soldiers who rushed in later. You retreat to the inner city wall first."

Strong liquor can relieve pain, and Ted knew that the troll elder no longer wanted to live.

The Red Castle is divided into two walls, the outer wall is where Caesar and the spider demon once fought, while the inner wall is thicker but relatively not as tall as the outer wall. Between the inner and outer walls is the living area of ​​the Hot Wind Highlands, with tribes of harpies and gnolls distributed on the east and west sides.

boom--!

There was another crash in the distance.

The gate broke on its hinges with a snap.

One section of it smashed in front of everyone like a dancing mad snake, leaving a deep hole on the ground.

The sky was as dark as ink, with no visible starlight, just like the haze in everyone’s hearts.

No one knows how long this city gate can hold out, so a decision must be made as soon as possible.

He needed someone to take the lead, but it shouldn't be Ullr.

Ted looked around, and the demons didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Fear is spreading and no one wants to die.

...

"I, I'll lead the team!" Broken Tooth raised his hand and volunteered.

It knew that staying behind to cover the retreat would most likely mean certain death.

But the troll elder is a great help to Caesar.

Besides, Caesar has not evolved any troll so far.

Broken Tooth thought that Caesar might only be able to evolve goblins, so even if it died, Caesar could still evolve more goblin leaders.

Death is terrible, but for Broken Tooth, who has become wise and is grateful to Caesar.

It is more meaningful to die loyally than to live in disgrace.

"You?" Ted-Kuangxue looked at Broken Tooth in surprise, examining Broken Tooth's body which looked frail compared to his.

"Yes, I will go." Broken Tooth repeated again. He took the helmet from the weapon rack next to him and put it on his head solemnly: "I am the leader of the goblins. They will be more willing to obey my orders!"

"Everyone line up!" He raised his steel sword and roared loudly.

Goblins have always been cannon fodder among the demons.

Even the goblins who had been specially trained by Caesar were the same.

Ted - Mad Blood never treated these goblins as normal soldiers, so even though he obtained some combat supplies during this period, Ted did not give these supplies to the goblins.

The goblin leader had a broken tooth. He was tiny in the eyes of the lion demons but a big guy in the eyes of the goblins. He was only wearing the chain mail he got from the town of Bona when he entered the Hot Wind Highlands. It didn't even fit him and hung on his body like a cloak. The steel sword in his hand was not sharp. It was rusted and rolled, and it was as bumpy as the shield hanging on his waist.

Broken Tooth rode on his Wind Wolf and circled around the group of wounded soldiers.

"We were just a bunch of lowly green-skinned kids, but the king never gave up on us. He trained us, gave us plenty of food, and even gave us the right to reproduce and the opportunity to evolve!" He roared, "Touch your arms and belly. Who gave you those pounds of meat? Now the king's territory needs our protection. Are you going to abandon yourselves here?"

A bronze light lit up on Broken Tooth's chest.

It was so faint and hidden in the chain mail that no one noticed.

But with this roar, all the goblins stood up as if they were injected with chicken blood.

There was no more laziness or fear in their eyes, only war and boiling murderous intent.

More and more goblins gathered around Broken Tooth, some injured and some not. The two lion demons looked at each other and walked silently to Broken Tooth. There were also jackals and bird demons. The goblins of low status had the courage to sacrifice themselves, so what reason did they have not to fight to the death?

“I won’t say anything about our certain victory.” Broken Tooth took a deep breath and said in a cold tone, “But those bastards outside want to destroy the king’s territory with their weapons. They are about to break open the city gate and rush in. They will attack your relatives in the next second... So, follow me and kill them together!”

After saying that, he patted the Wind Wolf's head and rushed towards the city gate.

Then the sound of footsteps let him know that the demons were following him.

He clenched the hilt of the sword with trembling hands and did not dare to look back.
