World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1640 - 726: Defiant Death Warrior Group! The Return!
Lanling was stunned: "Why? Because what you are about to do, your mission, far exceeds a single Demon Sky Clan, exceeds a single Heaven Demon Banner."
The Demon Lord said: "Because you killed my son, that equates to destroying my future."
Lanling said: "Is that all? At the final moment of the great battle, you personally stopped Gutu’s escape."
The Demon Lord entered contemplation.
Of course, he wasn’t lying or making excuses.
Any Death Warrior, even if possessing independent will, could never lie in front of Lanling. The Demon Lord was merely organizing his words.
After a moment, the Demon Lord said: "The crux is that you want to rule the entire Demon Territory, to dominate the entire world, but for me, that’s too distant. What is most important to me is guarding the thousand-year legacy of the Demon Sky Clan, and since I became a Death Knight, I can no longer reproduce, so even if I win great territories or create great achievements for you, it’s meaningless."
This was the Demon Lord’s true thought.
He longed for the power of the Demon Sky Clan, not for future expeditions.
Indeed, people in this world are different. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Former Black Demon Monarch Hei Zhou was to some extent a gentleman; despite being a ruler, his heart was full of certain fantasies.
So after Lanling resurrected him and he learned Lanling was the Demon Emperor, he immediately chose to pledge allegiance to Lanling, and he wasn’t a Death Knight; he was truly an independent individual.
Previously, Lanling always thought that becoming a Death Warrior meant losing wisdom and independent spirit, becoming like living dead. And since Lanling needed to rely on Hei Zhou’s wisdom, he did not turn him into a Death Warrior.
However, now it seems, this is not absolute.
This Demon Lord in front of him, even after becoming a Death Warrior, still possesses his own independent will and wisdom.
However, his answer left Lanling very disappointed.
This Demon Lord is a hero, but also a conservative and utilitarian person, even a decaying person.
Originally, Lanling hoped he would become the leader of the Death Warrior Group, but now it’s unnecessary to consider.
"If I were a good leader, I would use sufficient patience to persuade you to pledge allegiance to me from the depths of your heart." Lanling said, "But unfortunately, I am not..."
Lanling’s hand grasped into the void.
Instantly...
The Demon Lord seemed like a robot that got unplugged, his head drooped, losing all stature, will, spirit, and charisma.
A moment later, when he raised his head again, his gaze was stiff, his expression was cold, even his face was pale and colorless.
The Demon Lord completely became walking dead.
Now Lanling doesn’t even have a bit of patience anymore.
Next, Lanling chose to awaken Madam Heisha.
She was curious whether Madam Heisha would, like Gou Li, possess an independent free soul and spirit.
"Awaken!"
On the ground, Madam Heisha opened her eyes, then sat up straight, knelt before Lanling, and said: "Greetings, Master, greetings to Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"
The result was naturally disappointing. Madam Heisha was the typical Death Warrior, like a walking dead Death Warrior.
Her heart was not as wild and strong as Gou Li’s, having killed her son Gutu herself, she exhausted almost all of her will. She only had fear and cowardice left. So, even becoming a Death Warrior, she was a puppet.
Next, Lanling awakened each of the eight demon lords apart from the Demon Lord.
Almost all were typical puppets, stiff and cold.
Until it reached Crippled Blood...
The Demon Lord’s brother, City Lord of Demon City.
This overlooked person!
His martial arts were very high, second only to the Demon Lord, and he was the Demon City Lord.
However, almost everyone instinctively overlooked him because he never acted of his own accord, appearing completely like his brother the Demon Lord’s shadow, an echo.
For this reason, the Demon Lord handed the position of Demon City Lord to him.
Moreover, Elder Can Xue was a man of few words, he seemed to do only two things: execute the Demon Lord’s commands, and practice martial arts.
He seemed to lack his own independent will, obeying the Demon Lord in everything.
However, when he awakened, he was neither stiff nor cold, but possessed independent will.
His first reaction was to look at the Demon Lord, showing a complex expression.
Lanling said: "Crippled Blood, you are clearly the elder brother, why are you considered the Demon Lord’s younger brother?"
Crippled Blood said: "Because he wanted to be the elder brother, so I agreed."
This answer was indeed surprising.
Lanling said: "What has been your life’s ideal?"
Crippled Blood said: "To fulfill my father and mother’s instructions, to protect my brother, to guard the Demon Sky Clan."
Lanling said: "Now the Demon Sky Clan has been destroyed, you don’t need to guard anymore. What do you truly want to do?"
Crippled Blood was silent for a long time, then said: "To explore, to roam..."
Lanling looked at him, and said: "If I don’t force you, will you pledge allegiance to me?"
"I will!" Crippled Blood said.
Lanling said: "Why?"
Crippled Blood thought for a while, then said: "I don’t know, Master!"
His free will could be retained, but... he still wasn’t suitable to be the leader of the Death Warrior Group.
Looking up at the sky, time was pressing a bit.
In Lanling’s mental domain, he selected all the Death Warriors, then orderly commanded: "Awake!"
Immediately, these martial arts experts who were originally dead, one by one, opened their eyes.
One by one, they straightened their bodies, one by one they walked.
A full two thousand people, every movement was synchronized.
Under the moonlight, this scene was extraordinarily eerie, extraordinarily horrifying.
And at the instant they stood up, a chilling atmosphere surged from the vast ground.
The originally hot ground, unexpectedly formed layer upon layer of frost.
Including the previous three hundred people, a total of two thousand five hundred Death Warriors knelt to Lanling, and said: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The moment the two thousand five hundred Death Warriors knelt.
The ground shook violently, and an incomparably powerful energy surged upwards.
Nine Demon Lords, a hundred Martial Grandmasters, two thousand four hundred Demon Martial Grandmaster Peaks, and they have immortal bodies.
Lanling’s Death Warrior Group finally took shape, becoming a true army, a truly invincible trump card.
At the same time, seventeen thousand Centaur Army members knelt in unison, shouting: "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live endlessly!"
Subdued by this powerful energy.
The eighty thousand Demon Leopards, once defeated by the Centaur Legion, also knelt uniformly, kowtowing to Lanling.
Under the suppression of the thirty thousand Skeleton Flying Corps, seven thousand Ghost Ray Flying Knights all landed, kneeling with their wings on the ground, calling out to Lanling.
And nearly ten thousand various types of flying mounts also landed, kneeling on the ground.
More than two hundred thousand various warhorse mounts whinnied, kneeling down!
So far, the decisive battle between the Flame Demon Banner and the Heaven Demon Banner truly ended.
The Demon Sky Clan was completely annihilated, all military forces of the Heaven Demon Banner, every Chieftain, were completely caught in Lanling’s net.
Not only was the Demon Sky Clan completely annihilated, but the Heaven Demon Banner was also completely annihilated.
After this battle, the military strength of Lanling’s Flame Demon Banner expanded dozens of times over!
Originally, there were only thirty thousand Centaur Legion, one hundred fifty thousand cavalry, and no more than a thousand Sky Legion.
And now, the Flame Demon Banner had an additional eighty thousand Demon Leopard Legion, two hundred thousand various warhorses. Seven thousand Ghost Ray Flying Knights, nearly ten thousand various airborne mounts.
The air force suddenly expanded to twenty thousand, elite cavalry increased by eighty thousand.
Most crucially, the top elite army, the Death Warrior Group, was truly established as an army, no longer simply Lanling’s personal guards.
After this battle, Lanling’s Flame Demon Banner completely replaced the Heaven Demon Banner, becoming the leading banner of the Rakshasa Tribe’s Thirteen Demon Flags, even stronger than the Heaven Demon Banner.
After this battle, the Rakshasa Royal Family also lost the opportunity to completely suppress the Flame Demon Banner with force.
Lanling rode on a three-headed Chimera Beast and ordered: "Return to the Flame Demon Banner, eradicate the traitors in the Misfortune Cave Abode!"
