Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

"The demon-controlling talisman within me... has been removed?"

After the light merged into his body, Master Kui immediately felt that the shackles were gone. He was excited and somewhat incredulous. He turned to look at the middle-aged man.

"Grandpa Kui, that's wonderful! You'll never be affected by the Mother-Child Demon-Controlling Talisman again! You're free!"

The middle-aged man showed no fear or other emotions; on the contrary, he was very happy for Master Kui. If it weren't for the fact that only the royal family possessed the method to remove the Mother-Child Demon-Controlling Talisman.

He had long ago helped Master Kui and the monsters in the city break free from the control, and he always believed that this control was wrong!

“I am free. No, I have always been free.”

Grandpa Kui paused for a moment, then shook his head. He had been rescued by the man's grandfather and then spent so many years with his father.

The other party never controlled him during this time, and had already returned the mother talisman to him before the middle-aged man's grandfather died.

He stayed only because he wanted to.

"Stop dawdling. We have three days left to flatten the sixteen cities of Beishan within ten days. Only seven days remain."

"There's no time for you to wallow in your sorrows. If anyone else in the city is willing, then come with me."

Qin Qi didn't linger and turned to leave.

The middle-aged man watched the long procession leave, took a deep breath, and then looked at the soldiers.

"You can choose whichever you want, whether you want to stay or come with me, I can understand."

“This trip will definitely be very dangerous, so you can stay here. It’s not shameful to be afraid. I almost peed my pants just now.”

"But so what? Will you laugh at me?"

The middle-aged man spoke up.

"will not!"

The soldiers spoke in unison.

"Right? It's not shameful to be afraid. Everyone is afraid, so don't worry about others. Those who want to stay can stay, and those who want to come with me can come with me."

"We are willing to follow the city lord!"

The middle-aged man looked at his brothers who had followed him without hesitation, his eyes welled up with tears, and he turned his head away.

"Then let's go!"

The middle-aged man joined the ranks, and the soldiers followed suit.

If you protect them with your own life, they will follow you even at the cost of their own! True love begets true love!

This is the way a middle-aged man should act as a city lord and as a person!

...........................

The army marched toward the next city, and they were on their way.

The middle-aged man kept a straight face, and even seemed afraid to meet the eyes of the monsters. The man who used to kill monsters was now mixed up with them.

He didn't know how to deal with those monsters.

"Hey, human, what's your name?"

At this moment, a monster spoke up and asked.

"Wei Qing".

The middle-aged man spoke up.

"Wei Qing, my name is Da Hu. I used to be enslaved by humans and used as their mount."

Da Hu was a tiger that had become a spirit. He didn't have a name at first, but after he started rebelling, his brothers called him Da Hu, so he adopted that as his name.

"…………"

Wei Qing was at a loss for words. He said that he was human and that he was responsible for killing those rampant monsters.

He himself felt embarrassed.

"Humans, don't look so nervous. We are not like those crazy monsters. We attack humans only to live in peace."

“We have never indiscriminately killed innocent people. Our leader taught us a lot of lessons.”

"There are good and bad people among humans, and there are good and bad monsters among monsters. We can't condemn them all."

Although Da Hu had never been to school before, he was quite smart, and he understood Qin Qi's words during this period.

And they felt it made a lot of sense; they had to open their eyes and see clearly who deserved to die and who didn't.

In Da Hu's opinion, Wei Qing was not the kind of person who deserved to die. He not only had the support of humans, but also the support of demons.

Especially the great demon who was following Wei Qing, who was still protecting him even though the mother-child demon-controlling talisman had been removed.

That explains it all.

"In my opinion, you are a good person."

"Big Tiger spoke up."

"Thank you, thank you."

Wei Qing was a little nervous. He suddenly felt that these monsters were so cultured and reasonable!

They're more reasonable than those humans who can't understand human language! Perhaps Beishan would be better off under Qin Qi's rule, under the rule of these monsters!

Wei Qing was already displeased with the royal family, and now that the battle had begun, they were only thinking about having people protect them.

They made no attempt to send troops to help other cities defend their homes; these people are completely unworthy of sitting on the throne!

A true leader should be like himself, and like the current leader, walking at the forefront of everyone, braving the greatest storms!

Kuiye followed Wei Qing, observing everyone's situation. Some monsters took the initiative to communicate with the soldiers.

Although it was just a few awkward exchanges, it was enough to show their attitude!

At the same time, he also realized Qin Qi's prestige here; with just one sentence, the monsters accepted these humans without hesitation.

He also understood military strategy and knew that a general's prestige in the army could determine the fighting strength of that army!

A general's prestige stems from his strength and charisma. Just how powerful must someone be to command the submission of tens of thousands of demons?

After exchanging a few words with Wei Qing, Kui Ye headed forward. The monsters ahead, upon seeing Kui Ye and sensing his powerful demonic aura, made way for him.

Kui Ye kept moving forward, step by step, until he reached the position behind Qin Qi. Only then could he see Qin Qi clearly what he looked like!

The other party wasn't a great monster as he had imagined; it was a human!

Chapter 148 The decisive battle in the Demon-Controlling Kingdom, Shi Kuan, the number one warrior of Beishan!

Grandpa Kui looked at the human in front of him, then at the monsters around him. He didn't say anything, thinking that the people around him probably didn't know about this.

He kept this secret to himself.

Then that evening, after they had captured another city, Chicken Master came looking for them while they were eating and resting.

"Brother Kui, that's what everyone calls you, so I'll call you that too~ Want to have a drink?"

Chicken Master tossed one of the wine jars he was holding to Sunflower Master, and then asked, "How does it feel to be working with us?"

Kui Ye caught the wine jar, then clinked glasses with him and took a sip, saying, "It's quite unexpected. I originally thought you were a group of monsters who hated humans immensely."

"But now it seems that you do hate humanity, but you are not blinded by hatred."

"besides…………".

Kui stopped there, wanting to say that he never expected their leader to be a human.

"And you didn't expect our boss to actually be a human, is that what you meant?"

"Hmm, how did you know?"

“I noticed during the day that your expression changed when you saw the boss, and you looked like you wanted to say something but couldn’t.”

"At that time, I roughly guessed what you were thinking."

Chicken Master raised his glass again and clinked it with Sunflower Master's. The two of them finished the whole jar of wine in one go.

"Since you know his identity, why are you still following him? Don't you hate humans?"

"Grandpa Kui asked, puzzled."

“We hate humans, but the boss is different. You can say he’s human, but he can also turn into a monster. You can say he’s a monster, but he’s no different from a human.”

"Besides, the brothers are completely convinced of his abilities; everything he does leaves them speechless."

“We are willing to follow him, whether he is human or monster, we believe he can help us get what we want.”

Chicken Master thought of his wife, whose condition had gradually improved since he applied the talisman given to him by Qin Qi, and who had recently had brief moments of lucidity.

He believed that his wife would definitely recover in time!

"What you want, is freedom?"

After thinking about it, Grandpa Kui realized that what these demons, who had been bound by the Mother-Child Demon-Controlling Talisman for their entire lives, wanted most was freedom.

"What is freedom? You felt unfree when you were controlled by the Mother-Child Demon-Controlling Talisman? Now you feel free?"

"Without the Mother-Child Demon-Controlling Talisman, and with other things restricting you, freedom is just an empty dream."

Chicken Master then recounted what Qin Qi had said to them.

"That's true. Freedom is just an empty goal. What I really want... seems to be just to be able to bask in the sun peacefully."

After thinking in silence for a long time, Kui-ye spoke.

He just wanted Wei Qing to get married as soon as possible and have a child. He would help Wei Qing take care of the child and take the child out to bask in the sun every day.

He felt that this was good enough. Although he was very strong, he didn't actually like fighting. He preferred to bask in the sun, after all, he was a sunflower monster.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Chicken Master couldn't help but laugh when he saw what Sunflower Master said.

"Is what I said really that funny?"

Grandpa Kui frowned. He didn't know what he had said wrong, and why Grandpa Chicken suddenly burst into laughter.

"No, I just feel that what the boss said is really true. The more serious a person is, the more troubled they will be by simple questions."

"You've been thinking about something as simple as sunbathing for so long. You seem to be a very serious person."

Ji Ye said.

Grandpa Kui thought for a moment and then laughed. After thinking for so long, he realized that all he wanted to do was bask in the sun.

It's really funny.

"Here, have another sip."

Grandpa Kui raised his wine jar and clinked it with Grandpa Chicken's. The two took a sip and continued talking until everyone had rested.

Qin Qi rallied his men to continue conquering the next city!

"Let's go."

Chicken Master stood up and said, "Come with me and follow behind the boss."

"Can I?"

Kui Ye hesitated. As a newcomer, was it appropriate for him to step forward?

"Don't overthink it. We don't have as many troublesome things as humans. If you're strong enough, you can stay ahead."

"No one will have any objections. We only talk about strength and nothing else. Our boss even said that we are welcome to challenge him anytime."

"Whoever can defeat him will become the new boss."

Ji Ye said.

Has anyone ever succeeded?

"Grandpa Kui asked curiously."

"No, so he's still the boss, hahaha."

Chicken Master and Sunflower Master followed Qin Qi with their arms around each other's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right, two powerful demon kings!

In the Northern Mountain region, where there are no Demon Emperor-level experts, these two can be considered top-tier combatants! Especially after following Qin Qi.
