Capítulo 1537: Chapter 674: The Grand Duel! Shocking Tens of Thousands!
Winged Tribe Royal City!
At dawn the next day, the Wing King returned to the royal city and met with Princess Di Nie and Ashi Liren.
He was a hero, even worthy of being called the backbone of the Demon Race.
In the Northern Barbaric Lands, after the previous Wing King’s death in battle, he had been leading his tribe to resist the mighty Motuo Empire.
He led the million-strong Winged Tribe to resist the billions-strong Motuo Empire for decades.
But he was also a violent, stubborn, ruthless, and heartless dictator.
He forcibly separated the Crown Prince and his wife; it was by his order that the Crown Prince’s daughter was burned to death, and she was his own granddaughter.
That’s why, in recent years, although the Crown Prince barely maintained his duties, he had completely stopped speaking to his father, the Wing Demon King.
The father looked down on his son, feeling he had no prospects.
The son hated his father and would never forgive him.
The Crown Prince couldn’t resign directly because the Winged Tribe was at its most difficult time; if their situation improved at all, he would immediately step down from his position as Crown Prince.
The Wing Demon King’s appearance was that of a fierce monarch.
Towering over two meters, his body was like iron with sinewy muscles, a masculine face, blazing eyes, and a high, sharp nose.
His facial hair was exceedingly dense, almost covering most of his face, and both his hair and beard were red, his beard like stiff steel bristles, tough and coarse.
However, no matter how strong a hero is, they will eventually age.
Now, the Wing Demon King had aged.
“What right do I have to be called a Demon King? Which Winged Demon King has ever been without wings?” sighed the Wing Demon King.
Even when speaking in a mournful, low tone, his voice was booming.
He indeed had no wings. During the great war with the Motuo Empire, his wings were severed by Prince Dichacha.
As a result, the Wing Demon King saw the DiSha Demon King of the Southern Barbaric Lands as an enemy; their names were pronounced similarly.
“Isn’t being a king about the heart and will, not the wings!” Liren said, “You have a will of iron, and Her Majesty the Queen has always regarded you as her most proud comrade.”
The Wing Demon King downed a large cup of wine and said loudly, “I look down on all eight Demon Kings of the Southern Barbaric Lands, even seeing them as enemies. But I admire and even revere your Witch Queen. She is the backbone of my Demon Race, worthy of being the closest in bloodline to the Demon Emperor. I have fought the Motuo Empire for decades, and she sent expeditionary forces ten times, three hundred thousand Samurai from the Witch Kingdom died in the Northern Barbaric Lands, on lands that belong to my Winged Tribe. Not only that, when I led my people southward in retreat, other Demon Kings not only refused to take us in but even tried to expel us with force. It was your Witch Queen who publicly erupted, declaring war on anyone who dared refuse the Winged Tribe entry. Thanks to her, my tens of thousands of people had a place to stay. After settling down, your Witch Kingdom continuously provided us with food and supplies. No words can express my respect and gratitude for your queen. Her kindness, we can never repay throughout generations!”
Ashi Liren said, “It is out of respect for you and the sacrifice of the Winged warriors that Her Majesty the Queen is willing to pay such a price.”
The Wing Demon King said, “That is why our two tribes are like brothers and sisters, while the remaining seven tribes are either degenerate or treacherous. They no longer deserve to be subjects of the Divine Demon Emperor.”
Then the Wing Demon King said, “My beautiful little Liren, whatever you need, just say the word. Whether it’s doable or not, as long as you ask, we will go through fire and water for you!”
Ashi Liren said, “Tiancha King wishes to unify the Southern Barbaric Lands and establish a unified front for the Demon Empire. He came to Witch City to invite Her Majesty the Queen to join his camp.”
The Wing Demon King asked, “Did your queen agree?”
Ashi Liren said, “Over a month ago, Holy Maiden Ji Xiuning from the Dragon Temple led the Skyguard Knight Order through the Aurora Gate into the Southern Barbaric Lands, arriving at the Sea of Misfortune to capture what’s called the Ghost King remnants. She was discovered by Lord Lan Qi of the patrolling Sea Blue Banner, and the two sides clashed. Lord Lan Qi killed the Skyguard Knights and captured Holy Maiden Ji Xiuning!”
“Good! Good!” exclaimed the Wing Demon King. “These are the sons and daughters of the Demon Race, the finest subjects of the Demon Emperor.”
Ashi Liren continued, “However, the Dragon Temple dispatched the head of the Skyguard Knight Order, White Wolf, into the Sea Blue Flag Territory. He killed Lord Lan Qi and rescued Holy Maiden Ji Xiuning. Her Majesty the Queen was furious and vowed to avenge Lord Lan Qi. So she announced that whoever dared tear up the non-aggression treaty with the Dragon Temple and resume a state of war, she would join their side. The six Demon Alliances backed down, but Tiancha King tore up the ceasefire agreement with the Dragon Temple in front of her, so Her Majesty agreed to join his Demon Empire united front!”
The Winged Demon King furrowed his brow and said, “My dear little Liren, I dislike Tiancha King a great deal. I trust him not at all. But…”
He hesitated for a long while and said, “I believe your queen does not trust Tiancha either. However, she supports anyone who is willing to confront the Dragon Temple. I hold great respect for your queen, and wherever she stands, I stand too.”
Ashi Liren said, “It is an honor to fight alongside you.”
The Wing Demon King said, “But let me state for the record, even if we unify the Southern Barbaric Lands and establish a Demon Empire, Tiancha King cannot claim the throne. The position of Demon Emperor must remain vacant, and Tiancha can at most serve as Regent King.”
