The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

"No, it seems that he is collecting herbs just like us."

Ted Kuangxue was stunned when he heard this.

Are these idiot goblins also capable of collecting herbs?

Can they recognize which ones are herbs?

When he heard that he was not a scout, Ted Kuangxue sneered disdainfully.

It turned out that he was too nervous. He was careful in what he said and did and kept hiding his whereabouts all the way. How could Quinhagen find him so quickly?

"Sir, what should we do with this goblin?"

"Wash it clean and throw it in the pot."

"Yes!"

……

Ted Madblood didn't know that the reason why Quinhagen didn't catch him was not because he was good at hiding, nor because the Madblood family's pursuers were useless, but because Quinhagen had withdrawn his troops because of a letter, a letter from Aaliyah.

The town of Bona needs support.

Although the situation was not critical according to the information in Arya's letter.

But Quinhagen knows more about the town of Bona than Aria. As a frontier town with the Church of Light, the town of Bona is the first line of defense of the Black Tower City and has very important strategic significance. This means that if Aria does not capture the town of Bona in the first place, it will become more difficult later because the surrounding towns will inevitably send reinforcements to support the town of Bona, and Aria may be besieged at that time.

Of course Quinhagen couldn't just watch his fiancée being surrounded by the human army, otherwise Aaliyah would most likely be used as a tool to threaten the Mad Blood Family.

As the fiancée of the eldest son of the Mad Blood Family.

Arya could die in battle, but she could not let the Madblood family be humiliated in this way.

Quinhagen recalled all troops searching for Ted-Blood.

Now he is in a dilemma. Arya needs help, but someone also needs to look after Sirocco Highlands. After all, his good brother is not dead yet.

"Is God helping you...Ted!"

In front of the window on the top floor of the Red Castle, Quinhagen stood with his hands behind his back and his head held high, his deep eyes gazing at the sunset forest at the end of his field of vision. Thinking of his escaped brother, he couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes, red from not sleeping well, were filled with anger and unwillingness.

"I am the most suitable heir to the Crazy Blood Family, and you...even if God helps you, you will die in my hands!"

A low roar echoed in the room.

There were footsteps outside the door, and a lion demon knocked on the door, "Sir, the warriors who are going to support Miss Aaliyah are ready."

Quinhagen gradually calmed down after hearing this.

He seemed to have become the elegant and calm demon noble again. He paused and said, "Go and tell Thor to bring back the human envoy of the Church and my fiancée. Otherwise, you will die in the human territory."

Thor is one of Quinhagen's capable generals, a mad blood lion demon with extremely pure bloodline. He has a quick mind and is very good at siege and defense.

This time, sending Thor with a hundred-man Lion Demon Legion and thousands of cannon fodder to support Aaliyah is a sure thing, while Quinhagen will stay in the Red Castle to prevent Ted Wildblood from suddenly stealing the home.

……

"The letter was sent successfully? That's great. The alchemy puppet is really useful."

In the dark nest, Caesar couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the shining metal beads.

Since the letter has been delivered, the Mad Blood Family of Hot Wind Highlands should make a big move recently. He can almost predict what will happen next. The town of Bona asks for reinforcements. The reinforcements of the Mad Blood Family mistakenly think that Aaliyah has been captured, so they are furious and fight to the death with the reinforcements of the garrison of Bona Town...

Tsk tsk, this wave of attacks has greatly weakened the Mad Blood Family and the Town of Bona, and as long as he can hold on and develop, he will be enhanced to an epic level.

“wahhh——”

The goblins' shouting could be heard from outside the cave.

Caesar frowned. How long had it been since they went out, and already those green-skinned devils had come back with all the herbs collected?

He walked out of the cave and found a group of goblins spinning and dancing like ants on a hot pan. Broken Tooth had already walked up to them and was talking to them about the situation.

"What's going on?" He took two steps forward.

After Broken Tooth understood the situation, he quickly turned around and knelt at Caesar's feet, reporting respectfully: "King! We found... the traces of the Lion Demon... and one of... his tribesmen was eaten, wahhh!"

The traces of the lion demon?

This is not a good sign.

Could it be that reinforcements from Hot Wind Highlands have arrived?

impossible!

Caesar immediately rejected this idea.

No matter how fast the Alchemy Puppet is, it will still take an hour to reach Hot Wind Highlands.

Then Quinhagen will have to hold a meeting to discuss it, right?

After finishing the work, we still need to deploy troops, right?

By the time the reinforcements from Hot Wind Highlands get close to the outskirts of Sunset Forest, they will have to go tomorrow.

But how long has it been now?!

These lion demons couldn't possibly be the ones brought by Aaliyah.

Why didn't Arya's people show up earlier? It's a bit funny that they only arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest when the weather is cold.

"The herb-collecting mission is temporarily terminated. Notify all goblins to return and shrink the patrol line!" Caesar gave the order. Although he was not sure about the origins of this group of lion demons, he could not take it lightly.

He planned to hide for the time being and secretly investigate the situation.

If the enemy is powerful and has a large number of troops, you should temporarily avoid them.

If the opponent is just a group of miscellaneous soldiers, just annex them directly.

This is not a game world, you only have one life.

Caesar is well aware of the famous saying that 'only the monster that survives to the end can become the Demon King'.

However, when Caesar made his final inspection of the nest, he did not see Irene and Shana.

"Shana and Irene took a group of goblins to the Miu River near the Tariu Mountains. They saw that you like grilled fish, so they wanted to catch some for you. That place is also your territory, so..."

When asked about this, the cook Sophia said timidly.

Her pretty face was pale, her hands were clenched nervously, and she dared not breathe. She could clearly feel that Caesar was in a bad mood at the moment, and she was afraid that something she said wrong or something she did not do well would anger Caesar.

"Nonsense! Even if it's my territory, can I run around in Sunset Forest as if it's my backyard?"

Caesar took a deep breath and could only hope that Irene and Shana would not run into the group of lion demons. Lion demons were different from goblins. Rather than treating humans as female animals, they preferred to treat humans as appetizers.

Chapter 88: Irene's Scheme and the Arrow that Pierces the Sky

"The Lion Demon has appeared again in Mr. Caesar's territory!"

Irene and Shana hid in the bushes. The new novice wizard Irene had a solemn expression, biting her red lips lightly, and looked at the lion demon army patrolling along the river on the other side of the Miu River.

"Erin, let's go."

Shana shrank her head and tugged at the corner of Irene's clothes tremblingly, her pretty face full of fear. The power transmitted by the lion demon across the river bank was enough to make her legs weak.

"Of course we have to go." Irene lowered her voice and said, "But we eat at Mr. Caesar's place, we live at Mr. Caesar's place, and we should always do something for Mr. Caesar. Now that Sophia is in control of the cooking encyclopedia, we can only collect ingredients. Now that we have encountered this group of lion demons, it is an opportunity. We can secretly observe the number of lion demons across the river bank, and then go back and tell Caesar that we have done a great deed! Irene, you don't want Mr. Caesar to be snatched away by a beautiful elf sister, a knight/mage sister, a dragon sister, a slime sister... right?"

Shana held her little head pitifully, already confused by Irene. Although Irene was right that they had to demonstrate their own value, what the hell were the slime sister and the tentacle monster sister? !

"But……"

"No buts." Irene touched Shana's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Shana, I am a real wizard now, I can protect you. Besides, don't we have a team of goblins with us?"

The sun sets, the wind stops, and everything is quiet.

The sound of something heavy falling into the water was heard from the other side of the Miu River. A group of lion demons jumped into the river and were swimming towards this side at a very fast speed. It seemed that they did not discover Irene and Shana, but simply expanded their patrol range. However, this scene scared Irene and Shana to death.

"Now, can we go now? Ai, Ailin?"

Shana's lips were trembling and she was about to cry. If she was caught by the Lion Demon, she would definitely be eaten as food. She had read the introduction of the Lion Demon in the monster encyclopedia, and the sentence that impressed her the most was [It has a brutal temperament and likes to eat human flesh].

Irene acted decisively, holding Shana's hand and crouching down as they shuttled through the bushes. However, before they had run a few steps, they heard the goblin's warning voice. She looked up and found that the bushes had been surrounded by a patrol of lion demons. Now there were lion demons everywhere, more than a dozen of them. In other words, they had nowhere to run.

When the lion demons on the other side of the river naturally search the bushes, that will be their death.

Irene was already feeling a little regretful. She should have retreated back to the nest and reported the situation to Caesar the moment she saw the lion demons. However, she didn't expect that these lion demons had expanded their patrol range silently.

This is not the way to go.

She gritted her teeth, pretended to be fearless and said to the pastor: "Shana, whether I can survive today depends on you!"

"Hey?"

"I'll go out to attract attention later, and you take the opportunity to escape with the goblins and go back to tell Mr. Caesar that he will handle this matter. I'm a wizard, and those lion demons won't kill me. It's more valuable to keep me." Irene didn't know where she came to this conclusion. Maybe it was because she had been kidnapped by bandits once. Anyway, she was just talking nonsense, and she only hoped that Shana would believe her and do as she expected.

In this way, at most she would be sacrificed.

I guess so……

"Erin, you're going to die."

The clumsy lies of the novice wizard lady were easily exposed.

Shana stared at Irene with tears in her eyes and held her hand: "There must be another way. Don't put yourself in danger."

“I really can’t…”

Irene wanted to quibble, but was interrupted by the priest: "Don't lie to me. There is a monster encyclopedia in the temple. The lion demons have no habit of keeping human captives. Humans and low-level demons are all their food. There is only one result for being caught, and that is to be thrown into the pot."

Irene opened her mouth, speechless.

"Then what should we do..." The wizard girl lost her momentum like a deflated ball. Although she knew one or two spells, no matter how she thought about it, she could not be a match for a powerful monster like the Lion Demon. Only Caesar could defeat these monsters.

"We can't be blocked here by the Lion Demons, right?"

Shana didn't have any good solution. She didn't want to sit and wait for death, nor did she want Irene to attract attention and seek death. She greedily wanted to find a way to have the best of both worlds.

Use goblins to attract attention?

These goblins escorted us loyally all the way.

I still can't bear it...

The lion demon was getting closer and closer. The two men's hearts were in their throats. They leaned against the tree and curled up as much as possible. Even their breathing became weak. The goblins escorting them also lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Suddenly a goblin's nose moved.

He couldn't help but mutter something and turned his head to look to the side and behind him. A gleam of excitement flashed in his dim eyes.

Then, there was a "whoosh" sound.

An arrow came through the air and accurately pierced the neck of a lion demon.

The elves' arrows are still as sharp as ever.

"I want Lingquan Flowers, Li Tree Essence and Three-Leaf Frost Flowers, double the amount!" The elf lady glanced at Caesar beside her, drew her bow and arrow, stood proudly on the tree canopy with her graceful figure, and aimed at the other lion demon again.

Even though he felt weak and had no magic power.

But there is still no problem in drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

"Hiss... Lingquan flowers are not easy to find."

Caesar smacked his lips, his tone helpless, but he did not refuse.

This is a magical potion with a strong life-restoring effect. It has no side effects and no drug resistance. It starts at 20 gold coins when sold in human towns.

That thing only grows near springs and is usually guarded by monsters.

Once ripe they are eaten immediately.

By then he would have to look for springs around the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

"I don't care. As a male, you have to keep your word!"

Cecilia has already shot the second arrow.

But the alert lion demon blocked the arrow with his axe.

The elf lady seemed very unconvinced. She glared and made a light hissing sound, then raised her hand, drew her bow and fired three shots in a row.

The arrow was as fast as lightning, and two bloody holes immediately appeared on the lion demon's body and he fell to the ground.

"Okay, okay, Lingquanhua, I will help you find it."

"It's going to be doubled~"
