◎The Skeleton Warriors bully the Dragon!◎
In the conference hall of the Demon King's Palace.
"There are already seventy-three demons that have arrived at the Demon King's Palace."
Nightmare Demon Sur reported seriously.
"In addition to the dozen or so races that have been confirmed to be destroyed, there should be more than forty races that have not arrived yet."
The demons in the meeting nodded one after another, not surprised by the data, and no worry on their faces.
There are still twelve days until the start of the Demon Feast. There will definitely be many races that are far away or have not collected all the gifts and will arrive later.
In fact, if it weren't for the Demon King's great reputation for subduing the Dark Night Dragon, they would have been worried that too many demons would pour in at once and it would be difficult to arrange them, so they privately notified the Slime Tribe to arrive early. Most demons would not choose to come so early.
"Since we started hiring temporary workers, the efficiency of the Demon King's Palace has increased significantly," said the Dark Iron Dwarf Tiechui happily. "All the backlog of work has been completed, and the storage of various ores has increased several times. Moreover, with the amount of stone bricks we have now, we can build another ten large-scale buildings of the size of Nightmare Villages!"
The goblin Barlow nodded and added, "The scale of redwood planting has also expanded a lot. The previously planned forest has been watered with magma that has been used to cool down the trees, and then redwood seeds have been buried. It is expected that the redwood planting work will be completed in about ten days."
...
...
Although this job does not require much technical skills, it is very tedious and requires constant rotation of positions. Currently, there is no magic machine that can replace manual labor. According to Barlow's original plan, it would take at least two months to complete the planting. However, now that there are so many temporary workers, the work is completed quickly and well.
"I think we can consider recruiting some demons as affiliated tribes of the Demon King's Palace," the goblin Barro suggested. "We can teach them how to grow crops, sell them seeds, and help them build villages. Half of their annual food harvest needs to be distributed to the Demon King's Palace. I'm sure many demons will sign up."
"Half is too much," Warren laughed and shook his head, "but charging a percentage is feasible."
After all, the prerequisite for working in the Demon King's Palace is to pass the mathematics and magic exams. Given the difficulty of these two exams, the demons who come to participate in the demon feast have no time to study seriously, and the possibility of passing is not great.
It would be better to change the way and keep them nearby, which can not only provide a consumer market and labor force for the Demon King's Palace, but also allow them to participate in the Demon King's Palace's teaching programs nearby.
Warren thought for a moment but did not make a decision. He just asked everyone to go back and think about whether there were more perfect measures, and then started discussing the current living conditions of the various demons.
"The Blood Wolves, Skeleton Warriors, and Magic Stone Giants haven't arrived yet," Arabella said, curling her lips in disdain, obviously very dissatisfied with the attitudes of these three tribes. "How dare they put on airs! My king, if they don't come by the last day, I promise to flatten their lands!"
Warren nodded slightly.
He was not too worried. After all, the debuff interface of the character card had changed from [Rebellion X3] to [Rebellion X1]. It was obvious that two tribes had already compromised, and the remaining tribe would not be able to make a difference.
But he still smiled: "Then it depends on you."
Arabella scratched her hair and laughed foolishly.
She was about to continue reporting on the recent military patrols and the handling of illegal demons when her body suddenly froze and she almost fell off her chair. She barely held onto the table, gritted her teeth and stood up, looking at the only demon king in the conference room who looked normal: "My lord, the demon dragon—"
Before he finished speaking, a demon soldier stumbled in and said, "My lord! The Skeleton Warriors are bullying the Demon Dragon!"
Demons in the conference room:?
Could it be that this oppressive magical fluctuation is the result of the enraged dragon annihilating the skeleton warriors?
They must be so bold as to dare to bully the dragon!
"Let's go."
Warren was the first to stand up.
"Let's go and take a look."
Although he seemed to be able to handle it with ease, he actually didn't dare to use the card [It's You] again, which would cause the dragon to go berserk if the binding failed. He was secretly sweating in his heart.
At this time, the Dark Night Dragon had returned to its dragon form and was flying directly above the Demon King's Palace. Its huge figure covered the sky and the sun. It roared, but restrained itself from spitting fire. One of its dragon claws was pressed on the ground, and under its claw were nearly a hundred skeleton warriors who had no power to fight back.
The demons in the Demon King's Palace were intimidated by the pressure, and the weaker ones even had difficulty breathing. However, they were not too scared. After all, they all knew that with the Demon King in charge, this dragon could not cause any big noise.
"Xiaolong?" Warren walked out of the Demon King's Palace, looked up at the sky, and calmly ordered, "Put away the magic fluctuations."
The scarlet vertical pupils of the Dark Night Dragon turned towards the Demon King. Its huge dragon head was ferocious and terrifying. A breath of dragon's breath could turn the entire Demon King's palace into a sea of fire.
He paused for a moment and tilted his head, as if thinking about something. The next moment, his huge body disappeared, and the black dragon boy fell to the ground. He threw himself into the arms of the Demon King and burst into tears.
Warren hugged him helplessly: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
After crying for a long time, he finally stopped, still wiping his tears with grievance. The little dragon grabbed the devil's hand, thought for a while, and transformed into a dragon again, but this time he deliberately changed to the size of a hell horse, tilted his wings to signal the devil to ride on him, and then flew with him directly to the outermost entrance of the devil's palace.
A ten-meter deep pit had appeared where the gravel road had been. Hundreds of skeleton warriors were lying in the pit, some of them half-buried in the dirt, with bones scattered all over the ground. Outside the pit, there were many uninjured skeleton warriors, kneeling on the ground, trembling, not daring to raise their heads.
"It's them!" Xiaolong pointed at the skeleton warriors. Thinking of the injustice he had just suffered, the tears that had finally stopped began to fall again. "They called Barro and I lowly demons!"
At this time, a circle of demons had gathered nearby, including demon soldiers and other demons from the Demon King's Palace, as well as other demons who came to participate in the demon feast.
However, compared to the other demons who were still immersed in fear, the demon soldiers were obviously on Xiaolong's side. They glared at the skeleton warriors fiercely and said indignantly: "My king, these skeleton warriors are too bad! We all saw it. The skeleton warrior kicked the demon dragon's leg with great force!"
The skeleton warrior, who had broken the dragon's hind leg after kicking it and had his entire body of bones shattered by the angry dragon, collapsed in a deep pit and was in tears.
He wanted to retort that he was the one who was more seriously injured and the thick-skinned dragon was fine at all, but he was so frightened that he dared not speak. He even dared not pick up the bony arm that fell beside him. He had to lie stiffly on the spot pretending to be unconscious.
At this time, the Skeleton Warriors had completely lost the arrogance they had five minutes ago.
Although they were terrified by the power of the Demon King and prepared countless prey and many magic weapons that the tribe had collected for thousands of years as gifts to the Demon King, and even planned with the Magic Stone Giant to kidnap the Blood Wolf Tribe to prove their loyalty, they still had the arrogance of the four major tribes in the Demon Realm.
When they first arrived at the Demon King's Palace, they were stunned by its magnificent buildings. They were anxious to learn about the situation in the Demon King's Palace. They happened to see a goblin and a young man squatting on the side of the road, so they sent a tribesman over to inquire.
The skeleton warriors were used to bossing other demons around, so they didn't look down on a weak guy like the goblin. They walked over with a swagger and ordered as a matter of course: "Follow me, our clan leader wants to ask you something."
The goblin Xili, who was discussing with the dragon about going to the Winged Demon York's house to play in the evening, looked up blankly: "What?"
He actually didn't mind helping to point the way, he just didn't understand the situation at all. However, the Skeleton Warrior was furious, thinking that this lowly goblin had the guts to ask him back.
Considering that this is the Demon King's Palace's territory, he managed to control his temper: "Come here quickly if you don't want to die!"
This angered the dragon.
In order not to affect other demons, he always imitated the Demon King and restrained his magic fluctuations. Although he was angry at this time, he also took into account the rule of Xili and the Demon King's Palace that no fighting was allowed. He did not release his pressure, but talked to them with a stern face: "Get out!"
——The little dragon, who always used to spit dragon breath directly, felt that he was being reasonable enough by politely asking them to get out of the way.
However, the skeleton warrior felt insulted and wanted to teach these two weak demons a lesson, so he kicked the dragon's leg.
The dragon was kicked and didn't react in time, so it went berserk instantly.
He transformed into a giant dragon on the spot, and remembering that Xili was there, he blew the group of skeleton warriors away, then slapped them.
Taking into account that the king had once asked him not to kill any more demons, he did not kill them, but simply crushed most of the skeleton warriors. Then, he felt more and more aggrieved and went to the king angrily to seek justice.
After hearing the whole story, Warren's face turned cold. He looked at the Skeleton Warrior Chief with a cold gaze: "Bullying the demons, despising the Demon King's Palace, disrupting the order of the demon feast... What do you want to say?"
The skeleton warrior chieftain looked pale and was staggering.
Compared with other members of the tribe, he was much stronger. In fact, he was not injured, but was just too frightened and his brain went blank.
How did they know that a young boy squatting on the roadside and eating jerky with the goblins would be a night dragon!
If they could go back five minutes, they would definitely give themselves a beating for not recognizing the great man!
"Since you have nothing to say," Warren said calmly after waiting for a moment and seeing that the Skeleton Warrior Chief did not speak, "I will punish you--"
"Wait! My king!" Thinking that the Demon King was going to kill them directly, the Skeleton Warrior Chief was so frightened that the bones he had just assembled almost fell apart again. He took two steps forward anxiously, but was frightened by the murderous gaze of the Demon Dragon and retreated awkwardly. "My king, please spare our lives, and we will tie up the Blood Wolf Clan and offer them to you!"
Warren sneered: "Do you think this king needs you to resist the Blood Wolf Tribe?"
"That's right!" Xiaolong pulled the Demon King's sleeve and nodded in a servile manner, "And you don't have to do anything for such a small matter! I can wipe out the entire Blood Wolf Clan by myself!"
