Sailor Pes felt something was wrong. He looked back and was startled. He hid to the side as the surrounding guards quickly subdued the man wielding the weapon. But there were others in the formation besides this man in black. Over twenty people were fighting these guards, but they weren't trying to win; their goal was the crimson spear on the ground.
Sailor Pes recognized the spear. It was the bane of the Guangyan family, Longinus.
The Prime Minister pointed at the spear and shouted, "We can't let them get the spear."
"Don't worry, they won't get it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the spear floated up and slowly moved in front of a person. The person grabbed the spear with a displeased expression, "For this damn spear, I've suffered greatly."
Everyone looked at the muscular man before them, unsure if he was friend or foe.
Sailor Pes asked, "Who are you?"
"The champion of champions, the world's number one telekinetic master, the personal guard captain of Prince Svein, Tesaite, that's me."
Sailor Pes felt a warmth in his heart. All these events, one after another, were somehow related to him.
"Since you are someone by his side, why have I never seen you before?"
It was better not to mention it, but as soon as Tesaite brought it up, he got angry, "Don't even talk about it. My Lord Svein assigned me a mission, saying that if I wanted to stay by his side, I had to find this damn spear and give it to him. I searched the entire continent of Atlantis for this spear, and I even inquired about it from the previous continents. Everywhere I went, there were undead armies."
He then rushed over and kicked the person who had tried to assassinate Sailor Pes earlier, "This kid, running around with a damn spear, made me search like this, and I almost got eaten by a beast."
Sailor Pes walked up to the man in black, "Who are you?"
The man looked up at Sailor Pes and suddenly his face lit up with joy, "Lord Demon King, you've arrived."
Everyone turned to look at the sky, but there was no Demon King.
In the blink of an eye, the man snatched the spear from Tesaite's hand. The two spearheads instantly crossed, forming a single point, and he stabbed at Sailor Pes's chest with extreme speed.
This time, it truly pierced him. "Haha! My mission is complete."
Everyone was shocked. Tesaite was furious. He clenched his fist, and the man's head exploded.
"How dare you steal my things."
The Prime Minister and other close ministers supported Sailor Pes, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
Sailor Pes pulled out the spear. Surprisingly, there wasn't a drop of blood. It was all thanks to the nano-material safety suit. This was a double insurance set by Xiao Xun. He did all this for one reason: to let his beloved live.
"I'm fine. Now, I command you, begin the full counter-attack."
The demon in the sky saw everything that had happened. Not only did it not kill the Empress, but it also lost all its own forces. The second plan had completely failed, and there was no need for it to stay here. It turned and ran.
The Demon King's envoy, Lapors, was also startled, but then he collected himself and said to Horton, "Horton, we must leave immediately!"
"Leave? My homeland has been occupied by that scoundrel Svein. I have nowhere to retreat now!"
Horton seemed greatly stimulated, and his entire being became frenzied. "If we can't break through the capital of Saint Roman, then we'll all die here together!"
"Calm down!"
The Demon King's envoy, Lapors, shouted, then his voice lowered, "Horton, listen to me. Even kings have their low periods..."
Horton's gaze gradually became distant, lost in the whispers of the Demon King's envoy, Lapors. But suddenly, his eyes turned crimson: "No, I must make Sailor Pes pay the price!"
"Bastard!"
Seeing that his hypnosis had failed, the Demon King's envoy, Lapors, lost his last bit of patience and slapped him to the ground. "Enough! You wretched human, you're utterly foolish and useless. I gave you so many contingencies and arranged so much aid for you, and you've performed this poorly!"
Horton knelt on the ground, looking at the enraged Demon King's envoy, Lapors, and suddenly burst into tears.
Late at night, Horton, who had lost command of the army, was tied up in his room, filled with fear. After the Demon King's envoy, Lapors, had erupted in fury at him yesterday, he was surprised to find that his loyal subordinates of the night before seemed to have betrayed him. They were like walking corpses, ignoring him, and instead, they obeyed the Demon King's envoy, Lapors, implicitly!
Lapors also considered that the Fear Demon might still need him to command specific battles, so he gritted his teeth and left him behind.
Horton regretted it. Why had he believed these demons in the first place!
No, he couldn't just sink like this, becoming a slave to these devils!
He wanted to escape...
Escape...
For the honor of the Guangyan family, for the future of the Shengduo Dynasty!!!
The Demon King's envoy, Lapors, heard incredibly infuriating news early in the morning.
"What? Horton ran away?!"
Early in the morning, the guards watching Horton discovered his disappearance and immediately found the Demon King's envoy, Lapors, in a panic, telling him everything.
As he was fuming, another thought suddenly arose in his mind.
Given how much Horton had screwed them over, was it possible that he was a spy planted by Svein?
If it weren't for the fact that this guy could turn the very souls of his ancestors into undead soldiers, the Demon King's envoy, Lapors, would have truly believed his own deduction!
"Master, where do we go now?"
Horton panted, "I still have a sum of money hidden at home. Once I get it, I'll recruit soldiers and horses again and charge back into Saint Roman!"
Then he spat on the ground, "What four great demon kings, not a single one of them is any good!"
Meanwhile, Xiao Xun was preparing to return. Although he really wanted to use the ring to teleport directly, he was afraid of any accidents happening to the team midway, so he chose to return the way he came.
When they arrived at the Blazing Moon Kingdom, Dukar suggested visiting a place called Xingema, because he heard that the survivors of the Blazing Moon Kingdom had retreated there.
Xiao Xun thought: Since I've already killed the King of Pride, the others should be honest for a while! So he agreed to Dukar's request.
When Xiao Xun and his party arrived, they only saw the entire city engulfed in flames.
"It's all gone..."
Looking at the demons coming and going, the dilapidated city walls, and the burning infernal flames, Dukar seemed to have lost his mind, muttering, feeling as if the whole world had collapsed.
Xiao Xun frowned, looking at it all, remaining silent.
"Your Highness, we must retreat immediately."
Seeing that he was still contemplating these things, Vincent immediately stepped forward and leaned close to him, "The power of demons is not something we can deal with."
"No, there's still hope!"
After saying this, he ignored Vincent's objection, turned his head, and looked at the people behind him, speaking sternly, "Prepare for battle!"
After saying this, he seemed still uneasy. Facing the soldiers behind him, who longed for home and were already exhausted, he loudly motivated their fighting spirit, "Soldiers, I know you all miss home, are tired, weary, and desperately want to find a place to sleep well. But, please listen to me, listen to the words of Svein, the Duke of Saint Roman, the peerless wise general!"
