"What?" the Rakshasa King roared fiercely.
His hair and beard suddenly stood up, and the almost invisible reverse thorns on his neck suddenly grew out, tearing through the brocade robe.
He couldn’t believe his ears at all.
Lanling actually led an army to invade Heaven Demon Banner Territory, destroying forty-nine tribes and massacring a million.
This, this is too crazy.
Has Lanling gone mad? Or was he a madman all along?
All along, the Rakshasa King considered himself relatively tolerant of Lanling, precisely because of the legends about the Centaurs.
The Centaurs are the Whips of World Extinction.
And Lanling was actually able to command the Centaur Tribe, even though it was through deception (Lanling orchestrated two fake miracles to gain the Centaurs’ allegiance, which the Rakshasa King already knew.) Nonetheless, the Rakshasa King held a certain expectation for Lanling, along with a bit of caution.
But overall, his attitude towards Lanling was comparatively tolerant. Hence, he agreed to the Crown Prince’s request to offer peace to Lanling, and because of the blood oath of the Heavenly Demon, he agreed to betroth Princess Sha Yan to Lanling.
However, what happened next repeatedly challenged his nerves, even trampling on his bottom line.
As his son, the Rakshasa Crown Prince, dared to defy his decree. To discipline the Crown Prince, and because he mistakenly thought Lanling was dead, he agreed to betroth Sha Yan to Young Master Gutu; a royal decree, once made, could not be changed, so he forcefully sought to break up the marriage between Lanling and Sha Yan, marrying her to Gutu.
He knew this was an imnse humiliation for Lanling.
But, so what?
Since he got involved in the affairs of the royal family, what does this little grievance amount to?
If it wasn’t for Lanling’s ability to command the Centaur Army, the Rakshasa King would have long ago issued a decree to dispatch a squad of Warrior Lord level powerhouses to kill Lanling.
At this mont, although Lanling was not considered an ant in the eyes of the Rakshasa King, he was still not significant.
Thus, whether it was allowing Sha Yan to remarry, issuing a decree for Gutu to forcibly take Sha Yan away, or surrounding the Crown Prince’s mansion, the Rakshasa King never considered Lanling’s feelings.
However, unexpectedly, Lanling declared war directly!
Couldn’t bear even this bit of humiliation?
Actually resorted to such a brutal ans for revenge?
Forty-nine tribes exterminated, over a million Rakshasa males killed.
This loss made even the Rakshasa King take a sharp breath.
Too crazy...
"Damn it, damn it... Lanling should be sliced to death by a thousand cuts, sliced to death by a thousand cuts..." the Rakshasa King howled.
The Demon Lord kneeled, saying, "Your Majesty, please allow to lead the army back to the Heaven Demon Banner, expel Lanling’s Centaur army, annihilate the Fla Demon Banner, and avenge the innocent dead."
The Rakshasa King frowned.
Under usual circumstances, the Rakshasa King would not need the Demon Lord’s request but would directly decree to dispatch an army to obliterate Lanling’s Fla Demon Banner forces and exterminate all nine generations of Lanling.
But now it’s not possible!
War is imminent, and the Demon Alliance’s supre command is soon to go to the war front.
The Demon Lord, as the vanguard general, and the Demon Cavalry Legion are one of the Rakshasa Tribe’s main forces; how could they leave the battlefield?
This ti the Demon Alliance’s army, assembled at the Rakshasa Tribe’s border, has over eight million soldiers, with over two million belonging to the Rakshasa Tribe, and over six hundred thousand dispatched by the Heaven Demon Banner.
If this six hundred thousand strong army withdraws from the battlefield, it would be a huge loss for the Demon Alliance’s army.
Thus, the main force of the Heaven Demon Banner must not withdraw.
Bloody Lanling, that Lanling who should be sliced to death by a thousand cuts, actually chose this ti to attack the Heaven Demon Banner when its defenses were at their weakest.
Moreover, the Rakshasa King had an ulterior motive he couldn’t disclose.
He wanted to acquire the thirty thousand Centaur Army in Lanling’s hands, yet if the Heaven Demon Banner and Lanling engaged in a grand battle, with just those two to three thousand Centaur forces of Lanling, the only result would be total annihilation, which would be a great pity.
The Heaven Demon Banner, after all, has two hundred thousand elite army forces, the twenty thousand Demon Leopard Legion, and the fifteen thousand Ghoul Ray Legion. Even the Rakshasa Royal Family would be wary of such military power.
This ti, Lanling’s two thousand Centaurs swept through one-third of the Heaven Demon Banner Territory, appearing extrely formidable, but they hadn’t encountered the main force of the Heaven Demon Banner.
The twenty thousand Demon Leopard Legion and over two thousand Sky Legion of the Heaven Demon Banner.
More than half are on the Rakshasa City border, a quarter were brought to Rakshasa City for the wedding by Young Master Gutu, and a quarter are used to defend Demon City.
So in the Rakshasa King’s view, the Heaven Demon Banner’s strength is ten tis that of Lanling.
If the Heaven Demon Banner and Lanling clash, Lanling’s two to three thousand Centaur forces are bound for destruction, which would indeed be too much of a loss.
"Demon Lord, how about this?" the Rakshasa King said, "I will imdiately issue a decree to the Crown Prince, let him personally go to kill Lanling, and order the army to withdraw from the Heaven Demon Banner. As for the losses of the Heaven Demon Banner, they will be compensated from the Fla Demon Banner Territory, how about that?"
The Demon Lord remained silent, showing silent resistance.
Because their primary goal is to use this opportunity to remove the Crown Prince and then eliminate Lanling.
At this mont, Elder Mokan said, "Your Majesty, Lanling’s frenzied actions like this give the Crown Prince an inescapable responsibility, so I believe the Crown Prince should be severely punished."
The Rakshasa King’s eyes narrowed as he replied, "Severely punish the Crown Prince? How severely? Depose him early?"
Elder Mokan said, "The Crown Prince indulged Lanling in massacring the Heaven Demon Banner, indeed trampling on the very boundaries of the Rakshasa Tribe, causing anxiety across all Twelve Demon Banners of the Rakshasa Tribe."
