The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

According to the informant, the Demon King's human servants infiltrated Seldo Port and brought the captives back to Demon City from the teleportation array in the suburbs of Seldo Port!

Honestly, if Elder Zakeruo hadn't personally handed him this letter, he wouldn't have believed it was true!

The Maze in Thunder County is separated from Seldo Port by a Vortex Sea and a Vast Ocean. Even if the Demon King developed human servants on the surface, it's unlikely he extended his reach this far, right?!

Kamu never expected that the Demon King, who had been passively defending for the past month, not only silently turned his painstakingly crafted conspiracy into a stepping stone but also struck him unexpectedly.

A drop of cold sweat unconsciously slid down Kamu's forehead.

This opponent is likely even more difficult to deal with than he imagined...

Unknowingly, a sense of retreat sprouted in his heart.

After all, is it necessary for the Dragon family to keep fighting him to the death like this?

Counting from that foolish duel last year, they have nearly stumbled three times in a row.

Some people who originally supported the Dragon family have also started to sit on the fence, or simply stopped helping out of consideration.

Kamu suddenly remembered that his brother, Xino Dragon, actually had a good relationship with that guy.

That guy isn't someone who's petty and holds grudges. So speaking of it this way, if they made peace now, he might have a chance to concede and lose only half.

Sitting beside Kamu, Elder Zakeruo had his eyes gently closed, like a stone statue weathered for a millennium. His distinctly jointed fingers were tapping on the tabletop, one after another, as if contemplating.

Perhaps sensing the wavering in his grandson's heart, he knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Opening his cloudy pupils, he slowly spoke.

"I'm afraid General Sebes cannot be saved."

His voice was light, yet it instantly cooled the hot room by several degrees.

Kamu's pupils slightly contracted as he looked at his grandfather in astonishment.

General Sebes, who leads the Red Flame Legion, is a well-known general. He made countless achievements in expanding Hell's territory! But that's not the most crucial part; the most crucial part is that he used to be his grandfather's subordinate, and even today, he still has numerous ties with the Dragon family.

Yet now, Zakeruo's tone was so decisive, not even a frown!

Feeling that bone-chilling coldness, Kamu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his brows furrowed tightly.

Even by demon standards, this guy is too cold-blooded...

Zakeruo gave his grandson a meaningful glance and earnestly said.

"Kamu, my grandson, this is Hell. A soft-hearted demon will only become a sacrifice for other demons. You must remember this. If one day you become a Demon God, you must do the same. Anyone who threatens your authority, you must eliminate them without hesitation. Remember, it's all for the Dragon family..."

A drop of cold sweat slid down his cheek, Kamu held his breath for a long time, then slowly lowered his head.

"I've understood..."

Seeing Kamu bow his head guiltily, Zakeruo nodded with satisfaction.

"Failure once is not terrible, my child. You must be more patient. Although Luo Yan has grasped some evidence, that doesn't mean we've lost."

"Hell is not human society. We speak of rules, but we do not only speak of rules. If he thinks he can use little tricks to beat our five-hundred-year-old foundation, then he's too naive."

As he said this, the cloudy pupils were burning with raging flames, exuding a madness that threatened to swallow everything, making Kamu who stared at them dare not have any inappropriate thoughts.

Kamu took a deep breath and spoke earnestly to the elder.

"What... should we do next?"

He needed not only to seek Zakeruo's wisdom but more resources.

Zakeruo's fingers gently slid over the carved armrest of the chair, a hidden smile on his lips, his sharp gaze like a sharp knife.

"Very simple, he wants to arm wrestle with us at the table, then we'll overturn the table... Rest assured, I've already prepared the next move for you."

Kamu looked at him in surprise.

Already prepared?

When?

Zakeruo did not explain, only lightly clapped his withered hands.

"Night Song."

From the shadows beneath the council hall's stone pillar, a gargoyle with wings and fangs emerged, its deep, dark eyes carrying a hint of cunning and ruthlessness.

He nodded slightly, like an elegant gentleman.

"Lord Zakeruo, what are your commands?"

Zakeruo thought for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Go to Black Wind Castle, find Grock, and give him a message: tell him... the opportunity for advancement is right in front of him, let's see if he can grasp it."

"Yes." Night Song obediently accepted the order, retreating back into the darkness.

Kamu looked at his grandfather in surprise.

"Grock? That goblin from the Sawtooth Chamber of Commerce?"

Zakeruo replied unhurriedly.

"That's right."

Kamu's brow twitched, feeling his grandfather was joking, he couldn't help but say.

"What use could a goblin have..."

Zakeruo looked at him meaningfully.

"Do not underestimate goblins. Do you think the power of the Demon God comes from elsewhere? Isn't it from the fantasy of those who have nothing and believe in the almighty? Indeed, for most of the time, they live mundane lives, but in certain times, they too can transform into a devastating force."
