"He is a lord-level vampire marshal," Tang Hongshan said. "He is a male vampire, but he is very handsome, with sickly white skin, and his appearance is almost indistinguishable from that of a human. In terms of looks, he would definitely be an absolute superstar among us humans."
“Yes, yes.” Lin Yuxi nodded in agreement from the side: “I still remember what that vampire marshal looked like. He was really handsome, only a little bit less handsome than Lin Nai.”
Tang Hongshan: "..."
"Vampires...?"
Lin Nai was wondering if it could be Su Yibai?
But now it seems that's not the case.
Back in Feder City, he could sense that the magic power emanating from Su Yibai was the pure magic power of a pure-blooded demon race, not that of a vampire.
Linnaeus paused, then asked, "So in the end, the capital and the city of Shanhai were also defeated?"
"No... in fact, neither of these two cities was defeated until the very end of the battle!"
Tang Hongshan's expression hardened, and he said, "The defense level of these two cities is much higher than most of us humans imagine! The authorities used many powerful trump cards and pulled out powerful weapons that many people have never seen before. Even when facing more than a dozen demon generals at the Myriad Manifestations level, as well as that lord-level demon, these two cities were not afraid at all and held their city walls!"
Lin Nai asked in confusion, "Then why has Shanhai City become like this?"
Tang Hongshan smiled wryly: "War isn't often about who has the bigger punch..."
Lin Nai pondered for a moment and then understood: "So, they lost because of a protracted war, insufficient resource reserves, and were literally besieged in the city and worn down?"
Yes and no.
"......What's the meaning?"
"Both the capital city and the mountain and sea city are located in places with abundant natural resources."
Tang Hongshan said solemnly, "Even if we don't leave the city, as long as the city walls can be held, the continuous circulation of resources within the city will be enough to achieve self-sufficiency for hundreds of years."
"However, the problem is that, faced with such an apocalyptic scenario, many people's mindset has started to go wrong..."
"Think about it, the area outside the city is full of monsters. Many people's relatives and friends in other places have died and they still can't get out."
"The Night Watch and the Plane Army's several counterattacks out of the city were all driven back, forcing everyone to stay inside. Meanwhile, the entire human plane, except for the capital and the Mountain and Sea City, was annihilated. Furthermore, the massive demonic pollution brought disease, and the city's medical system was overflowing every day... In such an environment, how much confidence could ordinary people possibly have left?"
Many people thought, "We're all going to perish sooner or later anyway, might as well just give up." Others thought, "The apocalypse is here, that's great! I've never wanted to be a dog serving these superhuman masters again, let's all die together!"
"As a result, countless people began to strike, the financial, medical, and transportation systems collapsed one after another, and many people even wanted to go crazy before they died. All sorts of terrible events were happening every day, and the city became a mess. The Night Watchmen couldn't even keep up with maintaining order in the city, let alone fight against the monsters..."
Linna fell silent upon hearing this.
Although he did not experience that dark period with Tang Hongshan and the others.
But from what Tang Hongshan said, he seemed to be able to imagine some of the scenes...
Was the final outcome not death in battle, but rather self-destruction...?
"The consumption of combat supplies in the city continues to rise, but due to the strike, there is no way to replenish them."
Tang Hongshan sighed: "And so, Shanhai City held on for three months."
Lin Nai was stunned: "You can last for three months like that? That's really amazing."
"Yes," Tang Hongshan said with a serious expression, "Later, I don't know from which day it started, purple fungus began to appear in the city."
"You must have seen it before; it's the only plant still growing in the human realm right now."
"More and more believers in evil gods have appeared out of nowhere. They have started spreading rumors that as long as you believe in evil gods, you can be led to an ideal world without anger, sadness, jealousy, violence and any negative emotions, so that you can live in peace with the demon race and there will never be war again."
"..." Lin Nai thought to herself, "So that's how it is."
In times of greatest despair, this substance can undoubtedly ignite people's last hope.
This is clearly a psychological warfare tactic meticulously planned by someone.
The person behind this is pulling the strings...
Tang Hongshan said, "Later, the last official leader of the human race, Elder Zhou, came forward and announced that he was willing to accept the proposal made by this evil god. This decision was also accepted by nearly 99% of the surviving members of the human race."
"Old Zhou?" Lin Nai frowned.
It's that old guy...
How did he become the last leader of the human race?
Where is Professor Ji?
What about the other members of the Ten Elders of Parliament?
Lin Yuxi said angrily, "I still don't understand! Those idiots actually fell for that evil god's bewitching power! And 99% of them actually accepted it willingly!"
"There's nothing I can do. I suspect it's the aura of the purple fungus that made them all so easily bewitched by the evil god..."
Tang Hongshan sighed: "All those who were bewitched have a demonic curse mark on their necks. Although they still retain the consciousness and memories of their original bodies, they have been brainwashed without a doubt, and their thoughts have been completely changed by the demons."
