The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

Rick silently observed the demons around him.

Except for the tied-up bird demon chief, all other demons were surrounding a tall demon who was wearing blood-red heavy armor and had a battle axe hanging around his waist. Although he had a similar appearance to a pure-blooded demon, he had no wings and a long tail, which showed that he was a half-demon.

The aura on his body fluctuates...

It has actually reached the fourth level!

Can the hybrid born of a demon and a human also be promoted to the fourth level?

Rick found this difficult to understand.

There are quite a number of half-demons on the border of the Surien Empire. Some hide in the crowd, and some become members of bandit groups. Their brutal and rebellious natures make it impossible for them to integrate into human society.

Therefore, once such a half-demon is discovered, he will be immediately arrested and hanged.

If it is a good-looking female half-demon, the court will be a little more lenient. After confirming that she is not aggressive, she will be sent to a brothel to work. At least she can save her life.

He had killed many half-demons, but those half-demons were all ordinary people. Because they had the blood of demons flowing in their bodies, they could not learn magic and could not awaken their fighting spirit. Also, because they had human blood flowing in their bodies, they could not even stimulate the bloodline of the demons. In addition, their living environment was difficult, and they had no food to eat. Some of them were even weaker than ordinary people.

"Do you really want to surrender?"

Caesar looked the knight up and down.

This knight was already a great knight of the third rank. Under the influence of his fighting spirit, the impact of the plague was very small. It only made his body slightly weaker, and also made Caesar slightly more effective against the plague.

"Could it be fake?" Rick frowned.

I don't know what this demon meant by asking this question.

He felt vaguely uneasy, but seeing how many demons were around, it didn't seem like they were setting up an ambush. He knew that there were demon troops patrolling near the town of Bona, but with that patrol density, if they were a little more careful, they could still break through successfully.

After all, knights have horses.

Most low-level demons can’t possibly compete with horses in terms of speed and endurance, so what can they use to chase?

Just as this thought came to mind, a group of goblins riding on wind wolves passed by in a group nearby. Seeing this scene, Rick's face turned pale instantly, and the uneasiness and uneasiness in his heart were like a raging storm.

This demon clan actually has cavalry under its command?

And he used a Swift Wolf as his mount? !

The Wind Wolf's long-distance running ability is definitely not inferior to that of a warhorse. Its short-range explosive power is better than that of a warhorse, and it can also use wind magic.

If the knights under his command were discovered by the Wind Wolves, the breakout would inevitably fail.

Caesar read the uneasiness in the knight's eyes.

He clapped his hands, and Xigou and Suiya came up to him, each carrying three human heads. The expressions on these heads varied, but they basically still retained the anger, despair and confusion they had in life.

Perhaps they would never have thought that they would be caught up by a group of goblins riding wind wolves. This was even more terrifying than being ambushed and stopped by tripwires.

The head was thrown casually on the ground and rolled to Rick's feet.

As he looked into one of the pairs of eyes, Rick's heart gradually became shrouded in gloom.

"When you came out to surrender, we also captured a group of knights who were preparing to break out." Caesar walked up to the knight and said nonchalantly, "You have a good mind, but unfortunately you are not cautious enough. Be more careful in your next life."

He waved his hand: "Kill them all!"

Chapter 151: Brave Protection

All the knights in the town of Bona must die.

Especially the four knight commanders.

Their heads and ashes are proof of their military achievements.

In fact, it would be easiest to hand it over to Angela, the Vatican's special envoy.

But as a target of attack, Angela is likely to bring him more rewards. Then he can say that Angela escaped early. If Angela can't provide him with attack rewards in the future, it won't be too late to hand Angela over, and he can get more military merit.

"Chief, there are still many humans in Bona Town. There must be at least 2,000 households in this town..."

Caesar glanced at Broken Tooth and knew what Broken Tooth was thinking.

Humans are laborers, meat, and resources. If they can be controlled, it will be of great benefit to the territory.

The Surien Empire was a typical medieval society, with an average city population of around 20,000.

Super cities like King's Landing will have a larger population, while small towns generally do not exceed 10,000 people.

Border towns like Bona Town have even fewer people, around one or two thousand, and the population fluctuates with population mobility.

As for the nearby villages, the population generally ranges from dozens to hundreds.

The humans in the town of Bona are indeed a good labor force, but unfortunately they have been infected with the plague.

It was impossible for Caesar to find priests to treat these humans, let alone bring the source of the plague back to his territory.

"These humans can only be killed, but their meat cannot be eaten." Caesar said indifferently. He looked at the town of Bona at dawn and lightly sentenced the humans inside to death.

"Chief, this..." Broken Tooth felt very sorry.

Now is the time when the territory needs a lot of food.

"Let's go and burn the town of Fortuna." Caesar said, "I will naturally solve the problem of food later."

...

The monsters set up a circle of wood around the wall of the town of Bona, poured kerosene on it, and after lighting it, it became a natural fire wall that ordinary humans could not break through. Inside the town of Bona, Caesar led the jungle trolls from the east side of the town, burning all the way to the west. No house was spared along the way, and they were first looted and then burned. Any humans who escaped were executed on the spot. Blood and fire spread in this small town on the human border.

Many of the rooms had cellars, but Caesar didn't care. He had already left the town of Bona with the jungle trolls.

As the fire grew more intense, the humans in the cellars would not survive.

It was already noon when all this was done, but thick smoke and haze gathered in the sky above the town of Bona. The sun tried its best but could not reach this land of wailing souls. It could only watch silently as the demon returned with his army.

The fire burned for a whole day before it gradually died down.

At night, a heavy rain came and dissipated the deadly heat.

Somewhere a cellar buried by rubble suddenly opened, and an almost roasted child crawled out of it.

From his vaguely recognizable features, it can be seen that he is Irene's younger brother Pete.

It turned out that Pete did not follow his father back to Stone Sword Village. His father left him to a lame retired knight to learn swordsmanship and treat the snake venom in his body. But the price he paid was that he had to recognize this knight as his godfather and provide for the lame knight in his old age.

Carlo didn't want to agree to this at first, but in order to save his son's life, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

Fortunately, he could have enough food to eat following the knight. The knight was also very happy to have a godson. He said that Pete was a material to become a knight and he would send Pete to the Knight Academy to study in the future. After that, Carlo returned to Stone Sword Village alone. He wanted to discuss with the merchant to find Irene and sell her for some money, but he was killed by the demons brought by Irene.

Pete knew his father was dead, but he was not sad about it.

Although he is still young, the environment he grew up in has twisted him into an extremely selfish person.

He could ignore the fact that his father beat his mother to death, and he could also ignore the fact that his father sold his sister and even sent her to a brothel to make money.

Not only would he not stop it, he would also vigorously advocate it, relying on Carlo's favor to fight for his own interests.

But now everything is gone. The lame knight was burned to death to protect him. He can only open the cellar and crawl on the ruins dying. He feels a burning pain all over his body. The cellar was like a prison in a fiery hell. Even the oxygen has been forced to be extremely thin by the high temperature.

Maybe he was dying too.

Pete thought so.

The strength in his body was becoming weaker and weaker. He could not see the emblem of a silver sword appearing on the back of his hand which was already blistered by the burns.

At some point, I heard the sound of horse hooves.

He saw the bright silver knight's boots step into the puddle, splashing water.

He was picked up by someone before he lost consciousness.

The air was filled with the scent of roses and a woman's scream could be vaguely heard.

"This, this is the Hero's Protection?!"

"Thank the gods for their support. We must take him back to Ferond as soon as possible..."

……

Divine Realm, Glorious Dome.

"Lord, is it really appropriate to bestow the blessing of the hero on such a despicable person?" The angel looked at the picture in the mirror of heaven. The female knight inside had already taken away the child with the blessing of the hero. He will be protected in another country and gradually become a powerful hero.

He had already reported to the Goddess of Light the strange situation that occurred during the previous battle with the demon.

But because demons are under the rule of the demon god.

The Goddess of Light could not see through the fate of the demon, so she had no idea where the demon came from. She only saw evil and ominousness in it.

"Our ultimate goal is to fight against the demon."

The figure of the Goddess of Radiance was shrouded in a halo, and her face could not be seen clearly. Only her cold voice could be heard: "Although this human has a bad heart, his father, master, and sister were all killed by the demon. He has a strong bond with the demon. These bonds will force him and the demon to meet again. If they die together, wouldn't it be better?"

"But, but if this human also becomes a demon..."

"Then send believers to kill him!"

……

Until Caesar returned, Ted suppressed his anger and hatred and did not touch Quinhagen.

Otherwise, the whole morning would be enough for him to digest Quinhagen and then excrete it.

But the fact that Quinhagen was not executed did not mean that he felt better. He was tied to a pillar by Ted-Blood.

The red-hot iron would leave a slave-like mark on his body every ten minutes.

"Hurry! I'm going to kill you, you piece of shit!"

Perhaps knowing that he would not live long, Quinhagen gave up resisting and cursed Ted every time he was burned by the iron.

"Yes, you are right, but the useless person you mentioned now has all four limbs intact, while you, my dear brother, only have three legs left."

As Ted said this, he placed the branding iron on Quinhagen's Nibel root, and as the lion demon howled in pain, he also laughed happily.

"Okay, now you only have two legs left! Hehehe!"

"Ted." A deep voice came from behind.

Ted turned around and saw that it was Caesar. The smug smile on his face disappeared and he immediately knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Master, you are finally back. Is the war going well?"

"Bona Town is gone." Caesar nodded. "Let's celebrate tonight. You and Wolf (Wind Wolf King) go out hunting later. Get as much fresh meat as possible. Tomorrow we will go to Hot Wind Highlands."

Ted Kuangxue was very excited when he heard this.

Take back Hot Wind Highlands, take back the rule of the Mad Blood Family, what wonderful words!

Although Ted Crazy Blood is well aware that all this belongs to Caesar, Caesar's future achievements will definitely not stop there.

In other words, once Caesar is promoted, this Hot Wind Heights might return to his hands.

"Quinhagen, do you still remember me?"

After sending Ted Kuangblood away, Caesar stood in front of Quinhagen and looked at the dying Quinhagen with cold eyes.

"Rawls, no, this shouldn't be your name..."

Quinhagen panted and growled, "What do you want? I can give you anything I can give. I just want to live!"

Chapter 152: Ways to Get Intelligence

"I want to be a formal noble, not a pioneer noble."

Caesar's words did not surprise Quinhagen.

After all, this is the pursuit of many pioneering nobles.

When they become pioneer nobles, the quartermaster will tell them that as long as they have enough military merits, they can become formal nobles. But in fact, this is a complete scam. Not to mention that pioneer nobles rarely have the opportunity to gain military merits, they may also have their territory snatched away by other pioneer nobles. The most important thing is the monthly inspection. This is a good job for formal nobles, because after obtaining the inspection qualification, formal nobles can wantonly encroach on the troops and military merits of those pioneer nobles.

This has almost become an unspoken rule among the demons.

Never mind what the devil's rules are, and never mind whether this matter is fair or not.

In the demon clan, the bigger the fist, the more truth there is.

"I advise you to give up this idea. The patrol noble this month is the second son of the Red Moon Family, Count Gustav. He is a spider demon with a large army of crypt spiders under his command. The goblins and trolls under your command cannot be his opponent." Quinhagen raised his head and sneered, "If I were you, I would plunder the resources of Hot Wind Highlands and quickly hide in a corner. Don't even think about handing over the resources. He will never give you the credit."

"Gustav? He sounds very powerful..." Caesar followed Quinhagen's words and asked, "Since he is so strong, aren't you afraid?"

"Normally, nobles won't fight against other nobles. They will only fight against pioneering nobles like you." Quinhagen said arrogantly, "Besides, Gustav and I have a good relationship. If he knew that you killed me, you would definitely be on his kill list!"
