Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1258: Countermeasures
Capítulo 1258: Chapter 1258: Countermeasures
In the dim castle, Count Gula Bolai shook the crimson blood in his goblet, listening to Rosalind’s report on recent work developments.
Aside from the fact that the demons in this world and the Curse Sect had been dealt with by Yang Yu and the others, everything was progressing steadily.
With the removal of a force capable of causing chaos, it’s uncertain how it will affect the next actions.
The nature of the released demons is still unknown. If they, like himself, wish to establish a world where the strong reign supreme, Gula Bolai would be very willing to cooperate with them.
With a gentle swipe of her finger on the Magic Array, Rosalind flipped to the next page of her script, learning about Yang Yu and his group’s whereabouts.
“Master, they have already set sail. Judging by their current course, it appears they aren’t heading to join forces with the Dragon God’s Might to confront the Evil Dragon and its offspring, but are instead sailing directly toward us.”
Gula Bolai took a sip from his goblet, resting his hand on the throne’s armrest, “Did you find out what activities they’ve been involved in on the continent?”
“Investigations so far reveal that after dealing with the Curse Sect, they quickly left the scene.
Due to the unresolved impact of the discovered plan and the emergence of demons, various nations are conducting thorough investigations of suspicious individuals. We’ve gathered quite a few informants, making it impossible to accurately track their actions.
It seems they went somewhere to gather some barrels, loading them one by one onto a warship.
Those items shouldn’t be offerings for you, sir. They might be some kind of secret weapon worth guarding against.”
Gula Bolai set the goblet aside on a nearby table,
“Indeed. If he truly aligned with my plan, he wouldn’t eliminate such a massive uncertainty.
Only by increasing the chaos in the world, my plan becomes more likely to succeed.”
“Then, Master, what should we do now? Should we immediately attack and eliminate them all?” Rosalind asked tentatively.
“No need to rush. Since it’s confirmed that their target is us, let them get a little closer.
Perhaps our affairs have been disclosed to others by him. Even so, I wish to expose as little as possible.
However, we can’t allow them to land directly on the island.
As you mentioned, in order to deal with me, they might have prepared some secret weapon.
Once they get closer, we’ll confirm what exactly they have. If it turns out to be something harmful to me, immediately eliminate them all.
Don’t let them bring those items onto the island.
If it’s just some ordinary gifts, perhaps we can still sit down and have a chat with him.”
A faint smile appeared on Gula Bolai’s pale face, even though he felt Yang Yu was determined to oppose him, he still hoped to recruit Yang Yu as an ally.
To become the Demon King indicates exceptional strength, not something that ordinary means can overthrow, especially with numerous capable associates around him.
With such slim odds of victory, Gula Bolai conceived a plan to sow chaos and fish in troubled waters.
Due to the imbalance of power, he craved for an ally like Yang Yu.
If Yang Yu truly didn’t want to side with him, there would be no mercy or regret—he would unhesitatingly raise his blade against Yang Yu to clear all obstacles.
Rosalind respectfully stated, “I understand, my Master.
This task is of paramount importance.
Once they approach, who should be assigned to carry out this task?”
As soon as Rosalind’s voice fell silent, a woman emerged from the shadows, possessing a graceful figure and striking appearance, clad in tight black attire, with an exquisite black long blade hanging from her waist.
Aslit appeared unchanged from her past, yet her aura had completely transformed, indicating a complete metamorphosis.
After her transformation, there was something she had always wanted to do.
Kneeling before Gula Bolai, Aslit spoke:
“My Master, let me handle this.
Since being altered into this form, I have lacked a stage to showcase myself.
I will undoubtedly deliver that man’s head to you.”
Propping his cheek with his hand and pondering briefly, Gula Bolai said:
“I am very much looking forward to your performance.
But alone, you cannot withstand so many people, not to mention what tricks they might have.
I would prefer a capable force to execute this task.”
A short-necked, armor-scaled Lizard person emerged from another shadow.
The Lizard person’s physique was extremely muscular, standing over two meters tall, donned in heavy armor scales. With every step, the scales clinked and clattered.
The leader of the Spiny Scale Lizard, Benglie Ci Lin, knelt before Gula Bolai, his eyes blazing with fiery determination,
“Leave it to me.
This is the perfect opportunity to avenge my brother.
Currently, they seem to be mingled with some Sea-dwelling Species. If we send the Zhimu’s Hapi army to attack, they might dive into the sea under the guidance of the other Sea-dwelling Species and escape.
With our modifications, we can remain underwater for extensive periods, ample time to tear them to pieces.
I will bring our elite Spiny Scale Lizard troops, capsize their ships, turning the sea blood red.”
“An excellent proposal. Then it’s decided,” Gula Bolai nodded in agreement, “However, you must be cautious. Your species is not numerous. If you encounter any unsolvable situation, don’t hesitate too much over whether to retreat.”
“Understood. I will remember your teachings, Master,” Benglie Ci Lin replied with steely determination.
Aslit showed a slightly disappointed expression, meaning she would have to merely wait and do nothing, focusing on her training instead?
Possessing such strength yet having nothing to do left Aslit restless and uneasy.
At this moment, Gula Bolai addressed Aslit:
“Aslit, don’t you want to prove yourself?
You can also lead an Enchanting Demon Team, go with them, and heed my requirements and arrangements, making sure not to overstep any boundaries. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
I do not underestimate them. Dangers should be nipped in the bud.”
Upon hearing this, Aslit’s excitement was uncontrollable inwardly, though her face showed no sign of joy, even her response was straightforward:
“I will follow the Master’s commands, I will definitely not let you down.
I will lead the Enchanting Demon Team so that anyone daring to infringe upon the Master’s interests will disappear from this world.”
Having arranged everything, Gula Bolai lightly gestured, and an Enchanting Demon appeared from thin air to refill his goblet with fresh blood.
