Chapter 367
Chapter 367: Chapter 368, conspiracy
Devil World Imperial City.
“What a joke!”
Sin Demon Voss angrily slammed his fists onto the Long Stone Table. Due to his immense strength, the long table instantly shattered into a pile of useless stone dregs.
“Is the second princess serious! ?”
The Sin Demon General, who was dressed in pitch-black armor, stared at his subordinate before him. Dark green flames spewed out of his mouth like the Fury in his heart.
The scorching flames caused the temperature in the entire hall to rise by dozens of degrees.
“This is an order personally given by Princess Cecily, Lord Voss.”
A demon wearing the same armor as the evil demon half-kneeled on the ground. Due to fear, he lowered his forehead, not daring to look at the evil demon who was roaring.
“Order! We’ve defended the border fortress against those cunning humans for hundreds of years! This time, we actually opened the gates of the imperial city to those humans just because of a small order?”
General Voss picked up the broken pieces of the stone table and crushed them into dust. However, this did not seem to alleviate the anger in his heart.
“What is the second Princess Thinking!”
“Lord Voss, Princess Cecily asked me to tell you that those humans came from a human kingdom called Faroese. They came to the Devil Realm Imperial City as an envoy group and are preparing to form an alliance with the Devil Realm.”
“This must be a conspiracy by those humans. The second princess has been deceived! I have to find the second princess and ask her about it.”
......
General Voss stood up and was about to walk out of the hall when he suddenly stopped.
He was a loyal follower of the first prince, Nogus Yanorod. He had been stationed at the border fortress to defend against the invasion of the human army for the past few years.
His mission to return to the king’s city was to obtain supplies from the border fortress.
As the commander of this mission, when General Voss left the border fortress, His Highness Nogus had warned him, “Do not trust anyone in the king’s City.”
General Voss remembered this order in his heart. However, after arriving at the king’s city, the second princess generously handed over the supplies of food and weapons to his army, causing General Voss to temporarily let down his guard.
However, the second princess suddenly informed them that there were human envoys heading to the demon world..
General Voss did not believe that those humans would come with friendly intentions. They must have plotted some evil scheme.
Those cunning humans were fine. General Voss’s worst guess was that the second princess had probably betrayed them and completely sided with the humans.
What should he do? The power the second princess had in the imperial city was something he could not match.
Under such circumstances, if General Voss went to ask the second princess personally, it was very likely that he and his army would be in danger.
This sin devil almost put his hand on his forehead. He was one of the rare members of the Sin Devil’s race who had activated the ‘strategy’skill.
After a brief moment of thought, he decided that he had to reveal all of this to the ruler.
“I want to see His Majesty Nortrion in person,”he said to his trusted aide who was kneeling on the ground. “Immediately take the army and leave the Imperial City temporarily.”
“But Lord Voss, this order was also approved by His Majesty Nortrion,”the trusted aide immediately replied. “When her Highness Cecily announced this news in the council of Watchers, she had His Majesty Nortrion’s written decree in her hands.”
Decree... disguised? Could it be that even the ruler of the devil world had surrendered to the humans?
General Voss’heart was as chaotic as a ball of thread. During the time he was stationed at the border fortress, what exactly had happened in the imperial city!
“Did the second princess tell you what the human envoy was going to do besides forming an alliance?”General Voss continued to ask about the details of the council.
“Princess Cecily said that... those humans want to visit the abyss of sin.”The voice of that trusted aide was trembling.
Sure enough, when General Voss heard this sentence, green flames gushed out from the gaps of his armor, and his entire body was covered by the burning flames of sin.
“Damn it!”The ground where General Voss was standing had already melted. Sharp claws shot out from his palm and suddenly swung toward the wall behind him.
Three burning scratches were left on the wall, faintly showing signs of collapsing.
“Sir Voss, please calm down! This will attract the attention of the Watchers.”His trusted aide raised his voice, hoping to calm down the sin fiend who was being surrounded by anger.
“Those cunning humans actually dared to touch the Holy Land of our race!”
When General Voss finished his angry words, he seemed to have sensed something, and the burning flames on his body disappeared.
A large number of bats suddenly flew into the hall where General Voss was. The smell of blood wantonly spread in the hall, and the bats turned into two masked monitors.
“General Voss, what happened here?”
The monitor’s scarlet eyes scanned the surroundings under the mask. The entire hall was in a mess.
“It’s just that I haven’t moved my claws for too long.”General Voss controlled his temper and said to the two monitors.
“General Voss, I hope you can control yourself. This is the imperial city and not the border fortress.”
“Of course...”General Voss suddenly thought of something. “Monitor, can you help me tell the second princess that I wish to be a member of the Human Envoy Group.”
“We are happy to serve you, General.”
The two monitors once again turned into a swarm of bats and left through the window.
General Voss looked at the bats that had left and started to think about what he should do next.
“Sir Voss, are you planning to get rid of those humans?”
The trusted aide kneeling on the ground could not believe that the sin demon would be so friendly towards those humans. He must be planning to get rid of those humans.
“His Majesty Nottelein is behind this visit. I Don’t believe that His Majesty would betray us. He must have been bewitched by the humans.”General Voss turned around and walked out of the hall, “Killing those humans would put us in danger. However, I will not allow those humans to succeed. I will personally expose them!”
His trusted aide watched as the huge sin fiend left the hall. The pressure that was so heavy that it made his knees go soft gradually disappeared.
Although the sin fiends had always been one-track-minded, General Voss was much smarter than his own kind. The only drawback was that he was a little irritable, especially when it came to matters related to humans.
“Will the war really end?”His trusted aide muttered to himself as he looked at the scratches on the wall. Every year, the border fortress of the demon world would be invaded by humans.
He had also stayed in the border fortress for dozens of years. This war between humans and demons seemed to never end.
But not long ago, Cecily told all the visitors in the council of monitors that ‘this might be the beginning of the end of this war.’
Although he did not believe the promise of the second princess, he could only hope that the day of the armistice would come.
