"What, she escaped?! How could they let her get away?!" When Leticia was awakened from her sweet dreams by Xue'er and heard the news of the failed ambush, the Demon King was completely bewildered.
With so many people arranged, this should have been a foolproof situation. How could they let her escape?
Were those guys all just freeloaders?
After learning more about the situation, Leticia's anger grew even greater.
Wow, that guy was already at the end of her rope, and they still couldn't catch her. When did her subordinates beco so useless?
They used to be super effective—whether catching people or killing them, they were always swift and decisive. Why did things go wrong this ti?
"How did that guy escape? Did she use so strange thod?" If that guy used so special ans, it would still be understandable.
After all, she was also soone with divine power. Previously, that Yi Yujun had escaped right under the noses of the luxurious lineup of two Heavenly Kings plus Xue'er plus Leticia. How could this current guy be weaker than that girl who liked eating sweet potatoes?
"No, she broke through our defensive line and left directly." Xue'er's expression was conflicted. She felt that after hearing this, Leticia would start raging again.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Leticia imdiately began cursing: "A heavily injured guy forcibly broke through the defensive line I set up?! Didn't I arrange for a Heavenly King to be there? Don't tell that one of the most capable fighters among our demons couldn't stop that injured person."
"But Lance wasn't nearby when that woman appeared." If that Heavenly King had followed Xue'er's and Leticia's orders and crouched around that house together, then that woman wouldn't have been able to escape so easily.
But the problem was, he wasn't there.
When he received the news and hurried to the scene, what he saw was a group of soldiers entangled by black mist-like tentacles, while the main culprit had long since disappeared.
Actually, Lance's speed was already quite fast. From receiving the news to reaching the scene took only a few minutes total, but it was precisely these few minutes that allowed that woman to escape.
And she escaped without paying any price at all.
Yi Yujun had used a skill with a long cooldown to escape, but this woman seed to have just cast a small skill to entangle the ambushers and then slipped away easily without any obstacles.
This made Leticia even angrier. So he was being insubordinate, huh? This Lance had the guts to disobey her orders?
They had agreed to guard near that house, and once the target was discovered, imdiately act with lightning speed to capture her. But this guy delayed for several minutes. What was he doing?
"What's Lance's explanation?" Leticia sat on the bed with a dark expression. Her voice was sinister, and anyone could hear the surging anger in her heart.
If that Heavenly King couldn't give Leticia a reasonable explanation, perhaps this Heavenly King's career would end today.
"He said he was leading a team to capture that escaped teacher."
Yes, that teacher who had suspicious connections with the woman trying to cause trouble also hadn't been caught.
When that teacher saw soldiers from the Demon King Court appearing at the academy, she almost didn't hesitate at all and imdiately abandoned everything to run out of the academy.
Lance led people to chase her, but after chasing all night, they couldn't catch that teacher and instead let her escape.
It was like trying to pick up a sesa seed but forgetting the waterlon. In the end, they didn't even get the sesa seed—a complete waste of effort.
"I rember this guy was pretty disobedient before. I should have demoted him long ago." Leticia said sowhat indignantly.
Among Leticia's Four Heavenly Kings, the two female Heavenly Kings were relatively obedient types. Aina was especially outstanding among them—she would truly execute Leticia's words ticulously.
But sotis her brain couldn't turn corners, leading to so ridiculous situations.
The other two male Heavenly Kings were quite submissive on the surface, but in reality, Leticia felt these two probably harbored no good intentions.
Anyway, compared to Iyeft and Aina, Leticia didn't trust or like these two male Heavenly Kings much.
This ti Lance made such a big mistake, and Leticia imdiately thought of those old incidents from long ago, planning to settle accounts after autumn using this opportunity.
Uh, of course, actually Lance hadn't committed any major offenses before. It was just that Leticia found him displeasing, so she also counted so insignificant small matters.
Our Demon King's pettiness was very, very small.
"Your Majesty, at this ti we should first stabilize military morale. Settling accounts can be done later. Right now Lance is still an important combat force on our side." Xue'er quickly advised.
At this mont when a great enemy was at hand, they couldn't cause internal chaos because of a tantrum. Although Lance was a bit too overconfident, his nature was still acceptable.
At least he counted as a reliable high-level combat force. He shouldn't do sothing like becoming a demon traitor.
What benefit would releasing a god that could destroy the Demon Realm bring him? No benefit at all. Any demon with half a brain should stand with Leticia at this mont and firmly nip this matter in the bud.
Lance's mistake this ti was also because Leticia hadn't explained the seriousness of the situation clearly, making Lance think this was just Her Majesty simply wanting to catch rebels or spies.
Such things generally wouldn't have very strong combat power. He thought the combat forces on the other side could definitely hold out until he arrived. As a result, well, it overturned.
Although even if he had been at the scene at that ti, he might not necessarily have been able to keep that woman, at least he wouldn't have let that woman slip away so easily.
He just needed to delay for a while, and the other Heavenly King still in Demon King Castle would arrive. The two of them could delay a bit more, and Iyeft, who was stationed outside Demon King Castle, could probably arrive too. With three people delaying together, Leticia would kill her way to the scene.
Four people ganging up on one—even if the opponent wanted to run, she would definitely have to use those abilities that couldn't be used multiple tis in a short period.
Being able to force the enemy to use their life-saving skills (if any) before the great battle began was a profitable deal.
Now it was good—the opponent was on guard, making future matters troubleso as hell.
An alert mouse couldn't be caught by even the most cunning cat in a short ti.
"Sigh, this makes things troubleso now." Leticia naturally understood this principle. Making her internal forces chaotic at this ti was undoubtedly not a good choice.
She needed to unite the forces under her command, not scatter them and make them suspicious of each other.
This was exactly the opposite of what she most liked to do before.
To be honest, she wasn't very experienced in such matters. Previously, when winning people's hearts, she relied on threats and bribes. As for things like personal charisma, she didn't think she had any.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll settle accounts with him about this matter later. Right now, Xue'er, give him a ssage from —tell him to go chase. Even if he can't catch up, he still has to chase. Absolutely can't let that woman have a chance to rest." Leticia ordered.
Now was that woman's weakest mont. She had to extend this period of weakness until she was fully prepared.
That way, even when facing a true god, Leticia felt she wasn't without a chance of victory.
It was just a god—it wasn't like she hadn't fought one before. Wasn't that arrogant Fog God also defeated by her, Leticia?
Although she relied on artifacts, using artifacts was also part of her strength. Anyway, Leticia felt that her contribution was the major part in this Fog God battle record.
Bai Ling? She was just a tool who appeared at the end to tank so damage. Without her, Leticia would lose, but with her but without Leticia, they still couldn't win.
What did this prove? It proved that Leticia was the one carrying the team.
That white-haired support player should just be ignored—her role was too minimal. Anyone could replace her.
"Understood!" Xue'er nodded. "Should we inform Miss Bai about this matter?"
Leticia had told Xue'er her speculation, and Xue'er also felt Leticia's speculation was reasonable.
If Miss Bai was currently in Demon King Castle, then she was undoubtedly a trustworthy external ally.
Yes, Bai Ling and the demons didn't like each other, but there was currently an important person here that Bai Ling couldn't ignore—Bai Ya.
Don't forget, that girl Little Ya was still living here. Unless Bai Ling imdiately appeared and took Bai Ya away, once the enemy's plan was completed, Bai Ya probably wouldn't be able to leave even if she wanted to.
By logic, at this ti Leticia should send Bai Ya back to the Human World, so that even if the Demon Realm was turned upside down, it wouldn't affect Little Ya sister one bit.
But Leticia now had another idea—one that sounded sowhat evil and was indeed sowhat evil.
That was to keep Little Ya sister in the Demon Realm.
"Mm, don't make a big deal of it. Just print so strange little advertisents and throw them in those alleys. I believe she can understand the aning." Leticia naturally wouldn't oppose Xue'er's suggestion.
Doing this could quickly get Bai Ling over here. Once Bai Ling ca, Mo Zili would co too. After grasping Mo Zili in her own hands, Leticia would truly hold the initiative.
It wasn't that Leticia questioned Bai Ling's combat ability. Bai Ling was indeed very capable in battle, and Leticia also knew she couldn't beat Bai Ling. But when facing a guy with divine power and accomplices, Leticia was really worried that Bai Ling might overturn.
This overturning didn't an Bai Ling would be in mortal danger or get injured, but rather that she might not be able to protect Mo Zili and let Mo Zili be captured by that woman.
A woman with divine power and holding a divine artifact delaying Bai Ling for a while was quite normal, right?
If Bai Ling was held up, what about Mo Zili?
Although this girl was a demon, her combat ability could match Little Ya's.
Among that woman's known accomplices was a teacher from the Magic Academy. Taking Mo Zili away wouldn't require much effort.
As long as she took Mo Zili away, Bai Ling would lose.
Victory was never sothing that could be decided by one person's strength alone. With accomplices involved, Bai Ling alone couldn't handle it.
When facing those weaker enemies, Bai Ling could indeed mow them down solo, but against an enemy with divine power, it was hard to say.
At least she had to give gods so respect. Their powers were strange and varied, but one thing was the sa—their powers were all very strong.
Strong enough to transcend common sense—this was divinity.
"Alright, I'll arrange it imdiately." Xue'er turned to convey Leticia's orders.
"Wait, transfer Aina back. I feel she's more convenient to command." Among the Four Heavenly Kings, the most troubleso yet most reassuring Heavenly King, Aina, wasn't currently at Demon King Castle.
She had previously been sent by Leticia to resolve so small local problems. Calculating the ti, they should be resolved by now.
Recalling her to Demon King Castle at this ti wasn't a big problem.
Having one more extrely convenient Heavenly King-level combat force was a great help for Leticia.
That silly girl Aina didn't understand those complicated things. Whatever Leticia said, she would do. She was truly a great conscience among the Heavenly Kings.
Completely different from those scheming sluts with ulterior motives. Our little angel Aina didn't have a single bad thought.
"Understood." Xue'er wasn't surprised by this order from Leticia. Aina had the highest loyalty among the four Heavenly Kings, which was known by almost everyone.
After all, her intelligence wasn't sufficient for her to do things that were different on the surface and behind the scenes. Her straightforward nature and ability to beco a Heavenly King already explained so things.
Leticia wasn't a masochist who would let people who didn't follow her orders or even dislike her beco Heavenly Kings.
Although Aina was a bit silly, she was obedient and strong. If she didn't beco a Heavenly King, who would?
Xue'er left with Leticia's orders, while Leticia lay back on the bed, planning to continue sleeping.
By logic, she should have had trouble falling asleep at this ti, given that such a big incident had just occurred.
But who was Leticia? For her, falling asleep was a simple matter.
It was just that her plan was ruined by her self-righteous subordinate. She wasn't angry, really not angry.
She definitely wouldn't think about settling accounts after autumn.
The girl who forced herself into dreamland lightly ground her teeth in her sleep, and so unclear mumbling escaped from her throat.
"Drag him out and behead him!" If you listened carefully, you could make out these words.
This seed to indicate that our Demon King was still a little angry.
But this was also very normal. Anyone would be angry in this situation. Leticia wasn't a saint, so naturally she couldn't avoid being worldly.
