It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Bai Huang was worried about her safety, so he didn't let her come with him. Instead, he asked her to hide in a house and not come out until he saw her.

Ah Mo waited for Bai Huang to come pick her up, but she kept thinking about many possible outcomes, and could only come up with the theory that Shuang and He Yue had teamed up to murder Bai Huang. She was somewhat glad that her father had kept a backup plan in advance, secretly replacing the weapons used by the guards with unstable weapons that would explode at the slightest touch.

The next morning, He Yue appeared on the platform in the square on time. All important events would be announced here.

Seeing that the situation outside was stable, Amo, who had not slept all night, sneaked out and mixed in with the crowd.

Her eyes gradually became a little horrified, because she found that Shuang, Heyue and Baihuang were standing together on the high platform, and they didn't seem to have any hostile intentions. Ah Mo couldn't help but clench her fists, and cursed Baihuang in her heart for being disloyal and betraying at the speed of light, but she didn't notice that except for Heyue, everyone present had not slept all night, and everyone was injured, and the blood on Baihuang's coat hadn't been cleaned in time.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, He Yue took a step forward and said in a hoarse voice:

"I believe you all know that the city lord went into the demon territory alone to lead away some of the demon army for Yuxi City. The city cannot be without a master for a day, so we discussed it-"

Amo stared at her coldly and clenched her fists.

Then He Yue raised his head and said:

"Each department should take care of its own work and ensure that the system of Yuxi City can operate normally. As for how to decide major events that will affect the future of Yuxi City, they will be decided by a temporary decision-making group. After the city lord returns, the decision-making group will automatically disband and return the power to the city lord. If the city lord encounters any unexpected events, Yuxi City will have people like us to support it and will not let the sky fall. As long as everyone is united, we will definitely overcome the difficulties. These days, many hostile forces took advantage of the city lord's absence to make trouble in the city. Thanks to the tacit cooperation between the Anbu and the patrol team, they have been pacified. I hope everyone will not believe in rumors, work together, and protect our home."

The crowd cheered.

Amo blinked, not knowing what was going on, but when she saw the guards behind He Yue drawing the swords at their waists, she suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Work together! Protect Yuxi City!"

To create a lively atmosphere, the guards roared and raised their swords together.

“Wait a minute—”

Then, all the swords exploded.

The platform instantly caused a series of explosions, the air was filled with smoke, and everyone was covered in dust. Several poor guards fell to the ground unconscious, knocked unconscious by the shock wave of the explosion. Amo slapped her forehead heavily and found that everyone around her was looking at her, including those on the platform. So she smiled awkwardly and knocked her head, trying to get away with it:

"Let's set off some fireworks for everyone!"

He was arrested on the spot by Bai Huang.

……

At the same time, in the demon clan’s territory.

Reed sat cross-legged on the ground, and Alayya rubbed his shoulders.

Lid crossed his arms, looked at the girl who was tied up in front of him with a questioning look, and asked leisurely:

"Are you really the princess of the elves? Don't lie to me."

19. A tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog

If the people of Yuxi City saw this scene, they might put Lid in a sack and beat him up. Because of him, Yuxi City was in chaos. Many people were suspicious of each other and worried about his safety, fearing that he would encounter danger in the demon clan.

Of course there were dangers, but they were not that serious. For example, I was bitten on the butt by an Arbok when I was using the toilet, and I was bitten on the chest by a Wood Mosquito when I was sleeping, and when I was climbing a tree, the tree monster sap containing "overgrowth" poured all over my head, and my short hair turned into long hair.

This caused the demons to lose track of the person. Lizardman Ji received reports from the front line more than once, saying that the original city lord was gone, and replaced by two beautiful women running around in the demon tribe. One of them had a pretty face and a hot body, much better than the flat-faced washboard next to her. Lizardman Ji was confused and had no idea what was going on.

The sad part is that before, only the demon army was chasing Lid and Alaya under the order of Amifars, and the low-level demons in remote areas did not receive orders from Amifars and basically just did nothing. Now, all the goblin piranhas and the like are chasing after the two spontaneously, and the desire to reproduce is clearly visible in their eyes.

Alaya had to run with Lid, and they ran into a group of demons escorting an elf girl cautiously to the west. Lid didn't want to bother with this, after all, the demons were quite strong and it would be hard to fight them. But when the demons saw Lid and Alaya, their eyes lit up and they rushed over without saying a word.

In the end, Alayya led the demons away, and Reed took advantage of the chaos to abduct the elf girl in the prison car. After the two met, they began to question the girl.

This was not the first time that Lid had seen elves. When he was in the capital, he had seen elf girls playing the harp, and had a general impression of them. They gave people the feeling of being a fairy-like upper-level being, with icy skin and bones, pink peach blossoms, long golden hair, emerald green eyes, and long ears that often trembled. They were the kind of beauties that were out of this world and extremely beautiful.

But this elf was different from the ones in the capital. Although she also had blonde hair and green eyes, and was also a beautiful girl, she didn't look expressionless. On the contrary, her eyes and tone revealed a kind of arrogance, and the contempt in her words was not concealed at all:

"Does it really need me to fake my identity for you inferior races? Untie me now!"

Lid ignored her and said to Alayya behind him:

"Why did we find this thing in the demon clan's territory? This isn't the way genetic mutation works."

Alaia said cooperatively:

"I don't know, sir. But if you search me, maybe you can find something."

Lid nodded and said:

"What you said makes sense."

After saying that, he made a gesture to reach out to the elf girl's chest with both hands. The latter was tied up with thick ropes. The ropes were tied in a very sophisticated way, tightening the collarbone and ribs, which actually highlighted the majestic peaks on her chest. Upon seeing the movements of Lid's hands, the elf girl immediately showed a look of fear and shouted:

"How dare you! If you touch me with one finger, I will make sure you are stung by thousands of poisonous bees, and your soul will be locked up in the Heavenly Spirit Altar to be roasted by the blazing fire, and you will never be able to be reborn!"

Reed's hands never stopped.

The elven girl fell backwards and sat on the ground. She turned over and her bound body squirmed on the ground, her back facing Lid, her head buried in the ground, like an ostrich that only cared about its head. She had no princess's demeanor at all, her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and although her body was trembling, her mouth was still very powerful:

"They are an inferior race after all. Their lower body commands their upper body. They have no rationality at all. What's the difference between them and uncivilized monkeys..."

Lid lowered his hands and said:

"Okay, stop talking about inferior races. I'll just dump you somewhere and you know what will happen to you."

The elf girl immediately turned over and sat up, staring into Lid's eyes and said loudly:

"No, no! If you send me back to the elves' territory, I will give you countless benefits. You can choose any gold, silver, jewelry, or beautiful wives and concubines. Um... I also have a sister who looks very similar to me, who can also be given to you."

Lid didn't really doubt her identity. The demons escorting her pounced on him and Alayya like hungry wolves when they saw them. It was obvious that they had been holding back for too long. They were so patient that they didn't attack the elven girl next to them, which showed that her identity was indeed extraordinary. She might be a gift to a high-ranking demon, and it was not something that the lower-level people could touch.

Lid had no interest in being a hero, so he naturally couldn't meddle in her business and send her back. The shortest way to the elves' territory required passing through the dragons. He had just killed a son of the Dragon King in Tianyue Mountain not long ago. Not to mention passing through the Dragon King's territory, if he was recognized by the border, he would probably be attacked by the dragons desperately. No one could withstand it.

But he didn't plan to just abandon the elf girl, because he was also unhappy with the demons -

I'm doing well in Yuxi City. The humans haven't made any moves yet, but you're stirring up trouble behind my back? It's racist, but why did Amifars come? Who are the next ones above? The Four Heavenly Kings, the Demon King? None of them are good. Who is the elf tribe paying tribute to? No one, not you!

Yuxi City is on the brink of life and death, and you guys are just playing with women comfortably in the back? You are dreaming!

When Lid thought of this, his expression remained unchanged, but his tone softened a little, and he said:

"Tell me about your origins first."

The elf girl thought that he was moved by the conditions she offered, and smiled with contempt, saying:

"I am the seventh princess of the elves, Delis. Since you intend to accept my proposal, I will make an exception and allow you to call me Master or Princess. During this period, I need to burn incense and bathe every day, eat the best spiritual herbs, and drink the spring water formed by the melting snow on the top of the mountain... Oh, there is no ice and snow here, so I can reluctantly drink the dew condensed on the new leaves in the early morning. I will not touch other things, they are dirty, smelly, and difficult to swallow. By the way, I also need a mount, it must be beautiful and comfortable, and it is best if you can lie down..."

Reed interrupted her and asked:

"Do you know magic? What level of cultivation do you have?"

Delis shook her head and said proudly:

"Fighting is something that those dark-skinned elves do. As a princess, I don't need to personally..."

After confirming that this guy was only good at talking, Lid said to Alayya:

"Probably. Alaiya, untie her rope and throw our bags to her. We will continue along the original route later. If she can catch up, she can catch up. Just treat it as a maid. If she can't catch up, let her fend for herself."

20. See what a genius is

Delis followed behind with an indignant look on her face, carrying a bag on her back and stomping her feet heavily with every step she took.

In fact, the bag was not heavy at all. Alaya and Lid were separated from the army in a hurry, and basically did not bring anything. The bag contained some high-level demon materials and dried meat, which was no more than five or six pounds. It was a completely acceptable weight to carry on the back, especially for people like Lid and Alaya who had some realm cultivation. It was like playing with it.

But Delis couldn't do that. At first, she held on, gritting her teeth, and slowly followed behind, staring at the two people walking in front with hatred. After walking for a while, she began to pant and asked for a rest.

Let Lid really understand what it means to be spoiled.

To be honest, he was really surprised that the princess of the elven tribe was so weak. He didn't know much about the bloodlines of other races, but when he fought with the ninth son of the Dragon King, Ofland, he felt that he was quite capable. He was not at the tenth level, but it was almost there. It was said that he was the weakest prince of the dragon clan, and the other cubs of the Dragon King were much stronger than him. This gave Lid an illusion that the core group of people in races that valued bloodline inheritance should be the most powerful.

Delis was naturally also keenly aware of Reed's contemptuous look and scolded:

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyes out!"

Lid sneered and said:

"Hey! With your limited strength, you may not be able to dig it out even if I give it to you."

Seeing that Delis could no longer walk, Reed took Alayya to find a tree to sit down and rest.

Delis threw the luggage bag in front of Lid, crossed her arms, and asked in a bad tone:

"Where are you taking me? How long will it take?"

Lidd replied:

"I don't know either. Your luck is not very good. We are both on the run. Now the demons, young and old, men and women are hunting us down. Although we don't have a destination, we can't stay in one place for too long. I guess we'll just go north or west. When we get the news that Yuxi City has won, we'll go back."

Delis asked:

"Yuxi City? Where is that? I have never heard of you humans having such a place."

"Because it's not very famous. It's a small town in the west that has been resisting the invasion of demons for twenty years."

"A city?"

"A city."

Delis snorted and said disdainfully:

"Who are you trying to fool? Forget about a city. If the demons take it seriously, even your territory is no match! With so many demons, won't they overwhelm that Yuxi City? In my opinion, you shouldn't wait for Yuxi City to win and send me back to the elves' territory. By then, wealth and glory will be just a matter of a word from me. You can just find a place to live in luxury."

Reed shook his head:

"No."

Delis asked:

"why?"

Lidd replied:

"Because I am the lord of Yuxi City."

This time, Delis was speechless. She stared at Lid from head to toe for a long time, not knowing what to say. It looked like she wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just said:

"What happened to the city lord? You can't be buried with me... Send me back, and I can make you the city lord."

Lid smiled and asked:

"You are so capable, how come you were kidnapped by the demons? You are a princess, but you don't have a guard? You can't fight, but the elves must have a large number of capable fighters. After all, they are one of the [Six Middle Clans], and they are on the same level as the demons. How come they kidnapped their own princess?"

Delis said angrily:

"Who knows what happened? I was originally on the front line visiting the soldiers fighting the dragons, but I was drugged for no apparent reason. When I woke up, I was tied up and left in a prison van. Either a spy from the demons has infiltrated the elves, or there is a traitor among my guards! When I return, I will chop off their heads."

Reed squinted his eyes and thought about it for a while, but didn't come to a particularly good conclusion.

He had been in this world for too short a time, and he had been too lazy in the early stage and had not expanded his power. Now he was facing the problem of insufficient information. From Delis's words, he felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. If an ordinary elf appeared in the territory of the demons, he would not find it strange at all. Even humans can buy elf girls as slaves, so can't the big guys of the demons also have a taste of it? The shadow of the upper three tribes could not be touched, but there was still a lot of slave trade between the middle six tribes and the lower nine tribes, and it could not be completely banned.

In the final analysis, the difference between the middle six and the lower nine is not that big. If it is the old gods, one of the upper three tribes, the deterrent power is very different. If you walk down the street and tell someone that you want to capture the gods as slaves, you may be caught and beaten by the fanatical believers of the church the next day. If you are unlucky, you may be tied to the stake and burned to death.

A master like Qingyun, who has practiced sword for a lifetime, only dared to call "Asking the Heaven" for his last sword, which was nothing more than questioning the injustice of heaven.

Lid didn't plan to throw away Delis for the time being. Although he hadn't figured out how to use this card, the identity of the elven princess would definitely be quite useful. Just like when he saw the nameless staff in the treasury of the capital, although he didn't know how to use it for the time being, he knew it would be useful for Fileta, so he took it with him. Anyway, he and Alayya had been chasing and intercepting the demons all the time, so it didn't make much difference whether he took Delis with him or not.

Delis didn't know what Reed was thinking. Seeing him looking thoughtful, she thought that Reed was intimidated by her domineering aura, or that she felt that her proposal made sense. So she decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue her soft and hard offensive against him, persuading him and Alaiya to send her back to the elves' territory.

Reed just let it go in one ear and out the other, pretending not to hear and continued thinking about his own thing.

Alayya suddenly stood up and said:

"Master, the demons are coming."

Delis, who was chattering away, suddenly trembled, closed her mouth, and looked around nervously.

Reed understood the situation after a brief perception, but still asked:

"How many?"

Alayya replied:

"They should be two different forces. The demon coming from the east is led by a sixth-level demon, but there are a lot of lower-level demons, probably thousands. There should be two demons in the northwest, one is a sixth-level perfect demon, and the other one is unclear, but should be stronger."

Delis asked nervously:

"What's your level?"

Alaiya glanced at her and replied coldly:

"Six major perfections."

Delis stamped her feet heavily and said:

"What should I do? I am not good at long-distance running!"
