The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 282 The Imperial Palace is Flying?!
The earth is shaking.

The flames were rolling.

The black clouds are roaring!
Just as the Holy Ankylosaur Kingdom was in despair and chaos, from the north gate of Assam City, the Demon King's army was approaching like the god of death in the darkness, and every step they took was a step on the hearts of the Ankylosaur soldiers.

Fear was etched in every pair of pupils.

The Lizardmen soldiers, holding their obsidian spears tightly and facing a formidable enemy, had not yet recovered from the roaring artillery fire before they fell into a new abyss the next moment.

"Come on, everyone! You are warriors blessed by the Dragon God, how can you fall here! Charge forward and tear them apart!"

Under the collapsed city gate, a Holy Blood Warrior clad in blood-red heavy armor roared and led more than 400 incomplete temple warriors in a desperate charge towards the Demon King's army line.

"For the Dragon God!"

Looking at the army formation getting closer and closer, the Holy Blood Warrior roared, activated the battle seal, and his muscles bulged like cast steel!
The sharp tip of the obsidian spear in his hand reflected the dim firelight. The temple warriors behind him roared in unison and rushed forward with their wooden shields raised high.

Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps!
The Holy Blood Warrior was ready for a fight to the death, but just when he was about to see the faces in the darkness, five hundred Black Dragon crossbowmen from Desperate City stopped and raised their huge heavy crossbows in unison.

The next moment, the night sky was suddenly filled with dense and sharp sounds of breaking through the air, and dense black spots were like locusts flying in the face.

“Swish, swish, swish—!”

Before the Lizardmen could even react, a torrential rain of arrows fell on their heads.

Those crossbow arrows as sharp as dragon teeth seemed to have eyes, accurately piercing through the wooden shields in the hands of the temple warriors!

The shields shattered and exploded, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere!
In just a few breaths, more than half of the 400 temple warriors were shot to death by a wave of arrows. The corpses filled the avenue outside the city and the blood flowed like a river.

After all, that was a rain of arrows that even the knights in the "Home of Knights" feared, so how could it be resisted by just a few pieces of rattan armor soaked in grease?

"Ahhh!"

Seeing most of his men killed or injured in an instant, the Holy Blood Warrior's eyes suddenly turned red, his eyes were bloodshot, and scarlet battle marks appeared all over his body. He sutured the bleeding wounds.

Just as he cut off the crossbow arrows on his body and was about to launch another charge, he suddenly found that the ground beneath his feet was vibrating strangely.

"what?!"

He suddenly looked down and saw pitch-black thorns quickly climbing out from the ground like a black python and entwining his limbs and torso.

The sharp spike tip easily bypassed the obsidian armor and pierced deeply into his flesh, sucking his blood madly.

Feeling the strength draining away from his body, the Holy Blood Warrior was horrified and struggled desperately, trying to free himself from the thorn bush.

However, the harder he tried, the tighter the black thorns wrapped around him, sucking his blood like countless greedy leeches.

In just a few breaths, this powerful Holy Blood Warrior turned into a shriveled corpse, hanging limply among the thorns, lifted up from the ground by the thick thorns.

From a distance, it looks like a tattered flag...

Looking at the tragic scene outside the city wall, the ankylosaur soldiers on the stone wall were frightened and swallowed their saliva with difficulty. Their hands and feet were cold and their shoulders were trembling.

"Tsk..."

Not far away, Blancia, holding a black thorn whip, let out a soft click and yawned out of boredom.

She walked forward slowly, licked her bright red lips gently with her slender tongue, and a slightly regretful smile appeared on her pale face.

"Is this what you call the Holy Blood Warrior? I thought this guy's blood would be delicious, but it's not as good as the monkey in Silver Pine Forest."

what……

It's so weak.

Thanos sneered when he heard this, his voice carrying a hint of mockery.

"If I had known you liked drinking monkey blood, I would have given you a few."

Blancia raised her eyebrows and swept her cold gaze over him until she saw the Demon King looking at her, then she retreated with some restraint.

Walking beside Arakdo, Sarah, who was wearing light armor, cast an inquiring look at the demon king sitting on the back of the fat spider and said eagerly.

"Master Demon, the enemy commander must be on the city wall right now. I can bring his head back for you."

"No need."

Luo Yan cast his gaze towards the city wall not far away, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"His head is of no importance in this battle. Let him stand on the city wall and watch his men's hopeless defeat."

It's rare to have such an easy battle, and we have to give players some gaming experience, lest they go to the official website to curse the planner and the NPC for stealing all the heads.

Although Sarah felt regretful, she didn't say anything. Just like Alaqudo, she stayed by Luo Yan's side as loyally as ever.

At this moment, the city defense general standing on the stone wall did not know that he had just walked through the gates of hell.

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have the time to think about it.

Looking at the bloody scene outside the city, the lizard man's lips trembled slightly, and his vertical pupils were filled with fear that penetrated deep into his bones.

"How... is this possible? The Holy Blood Warrior blessed by the Dragon God... couldn't even last one round?!"

The Holy Blood Warrior is at least at the Saint General level!
And those temple warriors who followed in the charge were all elite troops directly under the command of His Majesty the Holy King, and they had at least elite-level strength!

He could not accept the reality before him. The lizardman stood on the city wall, almost unable to hold the bronze dagger in his hand.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled the chilling rumor from before -

The devil's messenger once sneaked into the Dragon Temple quietly, calmly read out the devil's will in front of the priests, and then turned around and left slowly.

The ten Holy Blood Warriors in the temple attacked in rage, but none of them could stop the terrible messenger, and none of them could even touch the corner of his clothes.

Until tonight, he thought the rumor was a ridiculous joke and sneered at it as a rumor.

However, looking back now, it was actually a prediction that was far ahead of its time...

Thinking of this, the city defense general felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by a cold sharp claw, and he no longer had the courage to resist.

Looking at the dark mass of the demon king's army outside the city, he suddenly raised his head as if he had made up his mind, and roared at the soldiers around him with all his strength.

"What are you still standing there for?! Are you waiting for those demons to climb up? The wall is useless! Hurry up! Go block the city gate and don't let them rush in!"

The soldiers looked at him with despair on their faces, but thinking of the consequences of disobeying orders, they gritted their teeth and rushed to the stairs and rushed towards the city gate.

While the soldiers were rushing to the city gate, the city defense general quickly retreated to the shadows behind the city wall, hurriedly untied the straps on his rattan armor, threw away the bronze dagger that symbolized glory, stumbled down the city wall from the hidden stairs, and fled in panic into the dark alleys inside the city.

The soldiers had no idea that their general had already escaped. As soon as they rushed to the city gate to gather, they were greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows!

"Whoosh whoosh—!"

The heavy arrows penetrated the armor and exploded the wooden shields. The lizardmen soldiers fell down in groups, and their wails of pain suddenly rang out.

The front line collapsed instantly!

Finally, their morale was crushed by the continuous deaths, and the Ankylosaur soldiers retreated crying. No one was willing to defend the city gate anymore.

The boiling flames finally illuminated the figure of the Demon King. All that was left on the shattered streets were scattered equipment and bloody corpses.

Sitting on the back of a giant crypt spider, Luo Yan looked down at the city of Assam and the fleeing soldiers who had completely lost the will to resist. The army formation behind him was like a moving mountain, and the orderly footsteps made every lizard in the city breathless.

The city gate was breached!
The tens of thousands of armored dragon soldiers stationed at the north gate couldn't even stop the march of the Demon King's army and were crushed to pieces!

At the same time, in the mighty army formation, pairs of pale green eyes were looking around with excitement.

They are all players of the necropolis.

Feeling the heat wave and the smell of blood dried by the heat wave, as well as the battlefield that seemed like the real world, their hearts were surging at this moment, as if their souls were trembling!

“Oh my god! This light! This fire! This burning wall and the explosion effects! And this realistic feeling… It’s simply amazing!!”

"6666!"

"The dog planner is awesome!"

At this moment, someone with good intentions suddenly shouted, and the chirping sound was like boiling water poured onto the hot oil pan!
"Brothers, work harder and avenge our teammate's sacrifice!"

"Dedicate your loyalty to the Demon King!"

"For the Lizard Girl of the Sand Ridge Clan!!!"

"???"

"Ouch!!!!"

The players shouted excitedly, rushing through the collapsed city gate like a broken dam and into the burning city.

On the distant street, another Holy Blood Warrior from the temple was organizing the defense.

Regardless of whether they were soldiers, civilians, or slaves, he conscripted anyone he encountered, stuffed an obsidian spear into their mouths, and pushed them forward.

This hastily assembled force obviously had no combat effectiveness at all. Like an egg hitting a stone, it was quickly and easily dealt with by the overly excited players.

However, these cannon fodders did buy some time, allowing the Holy Blood Warrior to hold out until the soldiers stationed in other urban areas and wall sections arrived.

Looking at the lizardmen pouring in from all directions like a tide, Luo Yan, riding on Arakdo's back, was not in a hurry.

He actually hoped that they could hold out a little longer and not be like what happened in the Twin Tail Rift, where they all ran away shortly after the gunfire sounded.

However, he overestimated these reptiles.

The huge magic crystal tank had just arrived on the main road of Assam City, and the slowly rotating magic crystal cannon had not even fired yet, but the Ankylosaur soldiers who had finally mustered up the courage to rush forward dropped their weapons and fled in panic.

The only brave one left was a bulky dragon turtle. It smashed the collapsed houses and rushed to the street, then charged towards the magic crystal tank with its huge head tucked in.

However, this proved to be in vain.

A flash of scarlet devilish light appeared, and the violent explosion blew the dragon turtle's head into pieces, leaving only half of the turtle shell that had lost its balance and fell to the side of the street.

At this moment, a priest at the corner of the street suddenly fell to the ground, staring at the young man sitting on the back of the giant spider.

Feeling that familiar breath, his expression suddenly changed, his amber vertical pupils almost shrank into a dot, and he let out an unbelievable cry of surprise.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Not far from him, the Holy Blood Warrior who was about to rush forward and fight to the death suddenly heard the priest's cry, and turned back suddenly in a daze.

"what are you saying?"

The priest raised his trembling hand, and pointed his skinny fingertips at Luo Yan who was not far away, his voice filled with shock that was difficult to conceal.

"No doubt... It's the Dragon God's aura! He actually has the Dragon God's aura on him! Even purer than... than His Majesty the Saint King!"

But why?! He couldn't understand!
Dragon God Gutaf... Why are you so cruel to your own people and even give power to the enemies of the Ankylosaur clan!

The priest was so angry that tears were about to fall!
The Holy Blood Warrior was shocked when he heard this. He looked up at the man sitting on the spider's back involuntarily.

Judging from the attitude of other nearby demons towards that man, this person is probably the leader of this group of demons, or even the devil himself!
He also couldn't understand why the Dragon God would give power to a guy who slaughtered his people. But unlike the priest next to him, he would try to understand things he didn't understand, instead of cursing with a stubborn mind.

His gaze gradually changed from complicated to confused, and then from confused to enlightenment. At this moment, a bold guess emerged in his mind -

"Could it be that... the Pal family has been deceiving us all along, and the Dragon God is not within this barrier. And this demon king from outside the sea is the Chosen One chosen by Lord Gutaf?"

The Pal family is the family of the Holy King Iz Pal. Because of their pure golden scales, they are known to possess the purest blood of the Dragon God.

However, if you think about it carefully, the mother of the Sand Ridge tribe seems to be golden... What can a mere color tell us?!

Once this idea came into being, it began to grow wildly like weeds.

Recalling the scene where his army was easily defeated by the Demon King's army, the Holy Blood Warrior suddenly convinced himself.

"...If he is really the successor chosen by the Dragon God, then wouldn't our previous resistance have always been against the will of the Dragon God?"

This would explain why they could not resist this army.

They are not fighting against mortals, but against gods!

And it is the god they serve!
Soon the Holy Blood Warrior thought that these people came from the sea outside the great barrier.

Suddenly, a possibility emerged in his mind——

Could it be that the Dragon God deliberately let him in to free them from the shackles they had been in for thousands of years? !

or--

Purely to punish them, they sacrificed messengers from the sea again and again! ?

After realizing this possibility, his will to resist instantly collapsed, and his expression gradually became pious and awed.

When people face an irreversible fate, they will inevitably try to find a spiritual outlet in unexpected places.

It was like the goblins of Blackwind Castle were beaten by the iron fists of the Fear Demon Family, but they took their anger out on other goblins. The peasants of Thunder County had their land taken away by the power, but they cursed the damn gold for being too tempting.

He quickly turned his head, looked at the priest beside him, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Master Priest, is there a possibility that perhaps these guys from the sea are not invaders... but messengers sent by the Dragon God to save us from suffering?"

The priest stared at him in disbelief and blurted out.

"How can this be?!"

Is this what a Holy Blood Warrior should say? !

This is really unreasonable!

The priest was very angry, gnashing his teeth, clenching his claws into fists, and digging his nails deep into the scales... However, this humiliation did not last long.

Facing the serious look of the Holy Blood Warrior, he subconsciously looked around. When his sight passed over the defeated Ankylosaur soldiers and saw that there were also Lizardmen in the Demon King's army, his cloudy pupils gradually became clear.

like--

It's not that impossible.

At least the aura emanating from that human was not fake, he had indeed obtained the power bestowed by the Dragon God...

The priest hesitated for a long time, his angry eyes gradually softened, and even his tone was a little hesitant, even repentant.

"If this is true, then we have committed a heinous crime..."

The Holy Blood Warrior swallowed his saliva.

"But it's not too late to turn back now, right..."

There was a brief silence, and the two of them looked at the human sitting on the back of the giant spider at the same time. The anger and hatred in their eyes had turned into deep awe at some point.

At the same time, Luo Yan, sitting on Arakdo's back, was observing his little players' team battle performance with great interest, thinking about how to further develop their potential.

However, at this moment, something he could not have imagined happened.

No one knew who started it, but these lizardmen who had vowed to fight to the death suddenly dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly with pious faces.

"Dragon God is above..."

"Please forgive our offense!"

"Respected Messenger of God, we beg you to forgive our ignorance... We didn't know that you are the true dragon on earth! You are our savior!"

Messenger of God?
A real dragon on earth?
what's the situation? !

Thanos subconsciously looked at the calm and composed Demon King beside him, his eyes full of astonishment, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

When the Demon King said that he had some connection with the Dragon God, he thought the Demon King was just bragging and didn't take it seriously at all.

However, judging from the reactions of these Dragon God believers... Could it be that the Demon King was not just bragging, but was telling the truth? !
Blancia was also stunned, staring at Luo Yan blankly. She obviously didn't expect that the Demon King chosen by the Demon God could be related to the Dragon God.

There was a glint in her eyes and she bit her nails unconsciously.

It also……

Isn't it incredible? !
Not to mention Thanos and Blancia, Luo Yan himself was stunned. He was overwhelmed by the kowtow of these lizardmen.

It was true that he had the aura of the Dragon God, but he never expected that these guys had such a sharp nose. He also never expected that these guys, who were clamoring to fight him one second ago, would praise him as a savior the next second.

He was caught off guard by this turn.

Who is the chameleon?

However, the current situation is not a bad thing for him. At least it saves him the trouble of cleaning up the battlefield.

Just looking at the burning city of Assam and the corpses all over the ground, Luo Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If I had known this, why did I have to?

Apart from anything else, those guys who rushed in the front died in vain.

The Demon King's army has no tradition of killing prisoners, not to mention the constraints of the server rules. The players watched as the enemies knelt down, and the Demon King was watching from the side, so they could only stop their actions helplessly.

"Why did you suddenly vote?"

"There was no warning... I almost got hurt by mistake."

"Fuck! I thought I could have a good time, but this is too much."

"Bad review!!!"

The players were yelling and chattering.

Since the translation crystal was turned off, the lizardmen couldn't understand what they were saying at all. They just thought the skeletons and zombies opening and closing their mouths was scary.

But even so, they still didn't dare to raise their heads, fearing that they would anger this respected Dragon God Messenger...

As for why the Demon King became the messenger of the Dragon God, they haven't figured it out yet, but seeing that the priests were kneeling, it wouldn't be wrong to kneel down too.

Luo Yan quickly collected his thoughts, his face solemn, and cast a magic spell to raise his voice, letting his majestic voice resound throughout the entire battlefield.

"Descendants of Gutaf, I am glad that you woke up in time... You are right. I am the one chosen by the Dragon God. I came across the ocean to save you from lies."

Because it was an improvisation, Luo Yan hadn't figured out how to make this story sound whole, but seeing that these guys had already believed it anyway, he was too lazy to continue and got straight to the point.

"Put down your weapons immediately and surrender... This will reduce your sins and I will forgive you."

He didn't even need to say this, the lizardmen warriors had already dropped their shields and spears and prostrated themselves on the ground.

The firelight illuminated their pious faces, making them look weird and absurd... just like their foolish and barbaric sacrifices.

Looking at the surrendered tribesmen, High Priest Zel looked ashen. He pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and put down the dragon bone cane in his hand.

ended……

From priests to soldiers, all the lizardmen lost the courage to continue fighting. The thousand-year pride of the Ankylosaur clan was completely destroyed by the blazing flames.

Except for one lizard that still persists...

Looking at the burning royal capital, Holy King Izzy, standing on the top of the pyramid, had eyes full of anger and unwillingness, and whispered to himself.

"Traitors... a group of traitors!!"

The hand holding the dagger trembled wildly, and incoherent curses kept emanating from his mouth, as if he wanted to nail the entire city of Assam to the pillar of shame.

"You are a bunch of stupid fools... How dare you kneel down before the enemy! Very good... very good! You are indeed not worth saving! No wonder the Dragon God punished you. He has long seen through you, your betrayal. You deserve everything you have done today!"

In that case——

Then use your blood to comfort the soul of the Dragon God!
Izzy grinned and suddenly cut his wrist with a dagger, letting the blood flow down his arm and spill onto the altar behind him.

The ancient and strange runes were filled with blood, and a faint green light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black ravine!
The next moment, the entire city of Assam began to tremble violently, like an earthquake, almost knocking down the lizardmen crawling on the ground.

"what's the situation?!"

"earthquake?!"

The players looked at each other and around, their eyes, which had originally been dull of interest due to the Lizardmen's surrender, became excited again.

A hint of surprise appeared in Luo Yan's eyes, and all his contempt disappeared in an instant, replaced by a hint of caution.

"Your Majesty...should we step aside for a while?" Thanos quickly moved to Luo Yan's side and said respectfully.

He felt a bad aura was growing, but he didn't dare to run away alone, so he could only instigate his boss to run first.

Before Luo Yan could say anything, Arakdo under his crotch suddenly moved all six of its eyes to look forward, raised its front limbs and screamed in surprise.

"Master Demon, look over there!"

Luo Yan immediately looked up and saw that the huge pyramid in the center of Assam City was slowly floating up.

The towering granite building stood in the sky, its huge body blocking out the moonlight and its shadow covering half of the city... It was like a miracle!
Seeing this incredible scene, the players who were looking for fun became completely excited. They shouted out excitedly and took out their video crystals to take screenshots.

"Fuck!"

"The palace is flying?!"
