The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

But it is wishful thinking to think that you can stop him with just a wall of flames and two-ring fire magic. I really don't know what the demon on the opposite side is so proud of.

Ted-Madblood took a half step back, the firelight reflected in his scarlet vision.

He was going to crash right into it.

The demon on the opposite side took two or three steps back.

Are you scared? Do you want to run away?

late!

Ted-Madblood failed to notice Caesar's calm eyes.

He kicked his legs and rushed out like a whirlwind, while Caesar casually took out a black metal ball the size of a human head from his space ring and threw it into the sea of ​​fire that Ted was charging towards.

There was a loud "boom".

The lion demon was blown away by the violent explosion.

The artillery shells of the guards of the town of Bona showed in practice that the black powder was definitely sufficient, with almost no water in it. The fragments and shock waves of the shells also attacked Caesar, but were blocked by the fire protection magic, and he stood inside without any harm.

Although there would be no problem in confronting Ted-Kuangxue head-on, there would be a risk of injury. The surrounding area was no longer his territory and there was no safety guarantee, so of course he had to choose the simplest and most effective method.

Walk to the dying lion demon.

This monster noble might have been awakened by the bomb, or his berserk spell might have ended prematurely at the moment of his death. In any case, he looked at Caesar pitifully, and his mouth, torn by metal fragments, uttered intermittent pleas for mercy:

"Please, don't, don't kill me... I, I don't want to die..."

"If you want to survive, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

Caesar stepped on the lion demon's chest, with the Axe of Destruction hanging by his neck, like a gate knife that could fall at any time.

"I am willing to sign a contract with you!"

"Master-slave contract?"

Ted-Kuangxue gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Very good, sign it."

Caesar nodded with satisfaction. Recapturing this lion demon was more valuable than killing him. It was not only a matter of improving the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, but also a matter of intelligence on Hot Wind Highlands. Although this lion demon said a lot of offensive words, he was a kind-hearted demon. There was no rush to slowly deal with him after he became a slave.

The master-slave contract that exists among the demons requires the slave to give up his soul.

Generally, only the demons who are afraid of death will give up their souls.

Ted-Kuangxue is not afraid of death, he just doesn't want to accept it.

He hadn't taken his revenge yet, and he hadn't made Quinhagen kneel before him.

How could he die like this?

Even if he had to become a demon's slave, he would continue to survive.

One day, he will take back everything that belongs to him!

Chapter 91: Burning Ambition

"Da Huang, go and bring the pot over here."

Ted-Kuangxue walked outside with a smile on his face and brought in a big pot.

"Da Huang, go move a few more chairs."

The lion demon nobles did not dare to neglect and worked hard to move the chairs. The lion demons, who were known for their brutality and ferocity, and blood-maned lion demons, were like tamed pugs at this moment. If other demon nobles saw this, they would definitely be shocked.

"Tsk tsk, the master-slave contract is really useful."

Caesar couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Ted-Kuangxue's back.

The identity of this person has been figured out. It is similar to what he had thought before. He is just a poor guy who was forced out of Hot Wind Highlands by Quinhagen. If he had not run fast, he would probably have become Quinhagen's prisoner and been locked up in the dungeon of the Red Castle and played with his dick.

"Master, the pots and chairs are already in place, is there anything else you want?"

Ted stood respectfully beside Caesar, his huge body making the cave, which was already narrow because of Caesar, even more cramped.

"Tell me about your Hot Wind Highlands and the Wild Blood Family."

Caesar sat with his sword in his hand on a chair that was put together.

He is waiting for the food to be served.

This time, Irene and Shana were rescued. The two girls had to go to the kitchen to learn cooking from Sophia. While contributing, they also hoped to reward him well.

"Uh, what do you want to hear?"

"The situation in Hot Wind Highlands and the military strength of your Mad Blood Family."

As soon as Ted heard it, he knew that Caesar was very interested in the land in Hot Wind Heights, and that he would become an enemy of Quinhagen sooner or later.

This is a great thing!

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

What's more, Caesar and he are now in a master-servant relationship.

The demons are not like humans. The king of the human empire prohibits the noble territories from fighting and annexation without reason, but the demons have no such restrictions. The monster nobles can annex each other at will. As long as they have the ability, they can even lead troops to the Demon King's City to fight the Demon King. Of course, they must also be prepared to be killed by the Demon King's guard army.

"Scorchwind Highlands is located between the Surien Empire and the Fairy Plains. To the south are the Star-Moon Forest and Sunset Forest, and to the north is the demon territory of Kulahan... It should be easy for you to see that Scorchwind Highlands is actually Kulahan's outpost, and its main target of attack is the Surien Empire."

Caesar nodded slightly. He had previously looted a simple world map from the Adventurer's Guild in Stone Sword Village. The geographical location of the Hot Wind Highlands was special, like a fishbone stuck in the throat of the Surien Empire.

In fact, the Surien Empire has sent troops to encircle and suppress the Hot Wind Highlands many times in the past decade, but it has proved difficult to completely eliminate the demons in the Hot Wind Highlands.

There are only two options for attacking Sirocco Highlands.

Or go directly west and cross the Sunset Mountains.

Or take a detour from the southwest through Sunset Forest.

Both the first and second options are not favorable for human reinforcements. Crossing mountains and rivers to face the demons who are gathering strength in the Hot Wind Highlands is simply not worth the cost. Moreover, the Sunset Forest is by no means a good place. If a legion goes in, it would be good if half of it can come back.

Of course, the Surien Empire could also gather a large army and strike in one fell swoop.

But the demons in Hot Wind Highlands are not fools. Once they discover that humans have such behavior, they will immediately pack up and flee. When the Surien Empire is forced to withdraw its troops, they will return to Hot Wind Highlands.

Such a battle took place twelve years ago.

When the Surien Empire retreated, it left a legion to garrison.

As a result, as soon as they left, the demon army besieged the remaining legion and killed them.

At the same time, the Hot Wind Plateau is also a place with a very harsh geographical environment.

There is a huge fire crystal mine under the soil, which makes the entire highland extremely hot and dry. Crops cannot grow at all. If a large army is sent to occupy it for a long time, it will have to cross mountains and rivers to transport food and various supplies, and also be prepared for attacks from the demons in the Kulahan area at any time.

It is not worth investing a lot of manpower and resources for such a high ground.

Over time, Hot Wind Highlands was ignored by the Surien Empire.

This piece of land is like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard.

Only highly adaptable demons like the Lion Demon can survive safely and rely on the forests in the south to obtain meat.

For the Lion Demons, they can survive as long as they have meat. On the contrary, any green plants are difficult to eat. But this is not the case for humans. If they only eat meat, their bodies will have problems.

Caesar thought to himself, isn't this Hot Wind Highlands the place of his dreams? It is legal and reasonable for the demons to devour each other's territories. As long as you have a big fist, you don't have to worry about being troubled by the Demon King.

What else is there to say?!

He announced it unilaterally.

From now on, Hot Wind Heights was named after him.

"...There are a total of three families in Scorchwind Plateau, headed by the Madblood Family. The other two are vassals. One is the Gnoll Tribe - Broken Bones, and the other is the Harpy Tribe - Blood Feathers."

"Then is there any family that is mixed with you?"

Caesar looked at Ted Bloodblood.

"No……"

Ted Crazyblood lowered his head in Caesar's contemptuous eyes.

"They are standing in a neutral position until the owner of Hot Wind Highlands is determined. In fact, after my father's death, the title of Hot Wind Highlands should have fallen to me, and Quinhagen has already had military merits and is eligible for the title, but I didn't expect him to want to obtain two territories at the same time..."

How ridiculous.

A sneer appeared on Caesar's face.

"Your Mad Blood Family is really cowardly. You can't even fully control the two affiliated families. If they don't have the slightest intention of taking sides, then they should stay out of this matter. You and your brother are fighting to the death, and they are just watching the fun from the sidelines."

"This……"

Ted Wildblood scratched his head.

He had never thought about it so much before. He just felt that it was natural for the affiliated families to follow whoever the head of the family was.

"Tell me about your military strength."

"Well... Quinhagen has nearly fifty Lion Demon guards under his command, and there should be more than five hundred ordinary Lion Demons. The Jackal Tribe and the Harpy Tribe are both medium-sized tribes, with a population of around five hundred each." Ted Madblood said honestly.

He didn't dare tell Caesar that half of the lion demons Quinhagen had were captives he had provided.

Ted Madblood's words undoubtedly poured cold water on Caesar's burning ambition. The Madblood family's huge military force was simply beyond his ability to contend with at his current level.

But Caesar was not discouraged.

He has Aaliyah in his hands - Quinhagen's fiancée.

With Aaliyah as bait, he has at least three ways to deal with Quinhagen. At worst, he can just stay alive. Besides, the Mad Blood Family is probably planning to send troops to Bona Town.

He had to find a way to muddy the waters further.

Let the humans of Bona Town and Quinhagen's army fight to the death.

Chapter 92: It really smells like milk

After Thor (a general under Quinhagen) arrived at the town of Bona, he did not launch a rash attack. It was obvious that the town of Bona had received support from other cities. With the help of the magician, the city wall was repaired in less than a day. It was also built higher and more defensive equipment was deployed on the basis of the original city wall.

Today, there are three knightly orders stationed in the town of Bona.

One of them came from Black Tower City, another came from Rhine Town, and the last one was the remaining members of the Knights from Bona Town. The total number of knights had reached more than one hundred, with thousands of soldiers following the knights and more than ten mages. If the human coalition was not busy fighting the main force of the demons in the north, the number of supporting troops could have been quadrupled or five times as many.

"Those lion demons don't have as many troops as us, why don't they just kill them?"

"Yeah, are we still going to be cowards with so many people? Not to mention that the demons will think we are ridiculous, I think I am ridiculous too!"

In the military tent, the three knight commanders were arguing fiercely.

The Lion Demon Legion was stationed at the edge of a banyan forest a thousand meters away from the town of Bona. This undoubtedly sent a signal to the Knights General that as long as humans dared to attack, the Lion Demons would retreat into the woods and use the complex forest terrain to offset the cavalry advantage. If humans did not attack, they would guard the woods, block the trade route, massacre humans passing by without knowing why, and cut off the wood supply to the town of Bona.

"Is war just the quarrel of pride that you guys are talking about as a child's play?"

Brian, the leader of the 4th Knights of Black Tower City, looked at the other two Knights with a cold gaze. Although they were all Knights, his title and strength were stronger, so he naturally had a dominant position in terms of the right to speak.

After Brian said this, the two knight commanders had no choice but to shut up.

"Our mission is to defend the town of Bona, not to destroy the monsters. Don't make things complicated. Everything should be based on the orders from our superiors."

He was a typical mature and steady man. In his 30th year as the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, he only hoped to work until retirement without any mistakes, return to the countryside to build a manor, receive a pension from Emperor Surien, and die peacefully.

In peacetime, such dreams and goals can be described as laziness.

But now the war is raging, demons are invading, and the human empire is not completely united, so this dream seems a bit unrealistic.

A knight walked in from outside the tent.

"My Lords, there are two letters. One is from Jinggang, and the other one..." The knight looked strange and hesitated, "The other letter was shot in by an arrow. The opponent's archery skills are very advanced, and they are also very good at hiding. Although we immediately sent people to track it, we didn't get anything."

Brian took the letter with a look of surprise on his face.

The letter from Jinggang City is really rare.

He opened it and his face gradually turned grim.

The letter was written by Miss Minian, the daughter of Duke Sugrian.

The letter urgently requested the knights stationed in the town of Bona to rescue Angela, the special envoy of the Holy See of Light. If they failed to do so, he would have to resign as the leader of the 4th Knights of Black Tower City.

This statement would not threaten other Knight Commanders unless Duke Sugrian was present, but it could indeed threaten him, because he was from the Morton family, which was a subsidiary of the Sugrian family, and he was just an inconspicuous branch. If Minian wanted to deal with him, she only needed to send a message to the Morton family.

Brian opened the next letter with a sullen look.
