Steward Pi was startled and hurriedly said, "My lord, you're not planning to attack the demon resistance army anymore?"
The Demon Lord shook his head slightly: "Actually, what that person said makes some sense. The demon race is already on its last breath. It doesn't matter whether we deal with them sooner or later. On the contrary, that person is our biggest threat."
Pi Zongguan's skin was already fair, but after hearing this, his face turned even paler, clearly showing that the master of slaughter was far more terrifying than the weak and vulnerable remnants of the demon race.
The war priest looked worried: "My lord, are you sure that the one is still alive?"
The Demon Lord remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "If it's a one-on-one fight, the final result will be at most 40/60."
In his judgment, the ratio was likely 30% to 70%, but he couldn't show weakness in front of his confidants; he needed to give them enough confidence.
The war priest and Steward Pi wisely refrained from asking who was the fourth and who was the sixth. Upon hearing this, they said with concern, "In that case, we might as well really rely on that guy's power. Perhaps that would give us a better chance of winning."
The mysterious man's power had left a deep impression on the two of them. He had effortlessly defused the Demon Lord's attack and escaped unscathed amidst the encirclement. He was a top-notch choice in terms of both strength and wisdom.
The Demon Lord shook his head slightly: "That person has ulterior motives. There are too many variables in having him help us. We absolutely cannot use him."
"So what should we do now? Once our lord finds out about Morgard, a little investigation will reveal that we've transferred all his old subordinates away over the years." The war priest also showed fear on his face. If this were to happen, given the brutality of the Lord of Slaughter, none of them would have a good end.
The Demon Lord smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, sometimes you don't necessarily have to fight with strength."
...
Meanwhile, in a secluded spot within the army camp, the light distorted, and Zu An's figure appeared there.
He did not flee immediately as the Demon Lord had expected.
He had dealt with the Lord of Demons in his later years and was deeply impressed by his deep scheming and cunning. He knew from the beginning that the other party would never trust him.
But that trip was still necessary because it was to plant a seed in the other person's heart, and once the time is right, that seed will take root and sprout.
He then headed to another camp, whose location, flags, and elaborate decorations all indicated that its owner was of extraordinary status.
Standing before that camp, even with his resolute will, Zu An couldn't help but hesitate.
In the end, I took the first step and went inside.
Although there are quite a few guards here, they are completely different from the strict defenses on the Demon Lord's side. The defenses here are not riddled with loopholes, but they do have quite a few weaknesses.
With the ability to transform into countless forms and conceal his presence, Zu'an easily blended in and arrived at the outside of a small courtyard.
A soft sigh came from inside, and a petite figure swayed back and forth in the afterglow of the setting sun.
It turned out to be a little girl swinging on a swing there.
Although the little girl's skin didn't seem very smooth, and some traces of scales could still be seen, she still looked quite cute.
However, the young girl now sighs with an air of premature maturity, which seems rather strange to anyone who looks at her.
Seeing the other person's youthful yet somewhat familiar face, Zu An was somewhat lost in thought.
The little girl in front of us is naturally Salami when she was young. According to previous intelligence, Salami already existed in this era, but she was still very young.
So after arriving at the camp, he first found out where Little Salami was before going to the Demon Lord's side.
Zaun wondered what would happen if Salami from the future came to see her.
Of course, he knew this was impossible; the future Salami was now under a restriction and was being guarded by Princess Soren.
"Who are you?" At this moment, the little girl noticed him and looked him over curiously.
Zuan was somewhat surprised: "Aren't you scared?"
He was worried that she would be scared and scream, attracting the nearby guards, and he was prepared to subdue her. But to his surprise, she just blinked and did not do anything rash.
"Why should I be afraid?" The little girl didn't seem to understand the question. "Are you here to play with me? I'm so bored."
Zuan then remembered that the other party was the daughter of the Lord of Slaughter, who was second only to one demon and above all other demons.
The Demon Lord has not yet openly rebelled, so he naturally treats this young lady with utmost respect and courtesy.
Having grown up surrounded by admirers, she was the one who was feared, not the other way around.
"Is the young lady bored?" Zu'an couldn't help but ask, seeing the worry in her eyes despite her young age.
"Yes, Father went to that demon royal tomb for some business and hasn't come back for several years. My best friend Uncle Mogard has also disappeared for the past two years. And Uncle Demon Lord is too polite to me. He's very busy and doesn't have much time to play with me." The little girl pouted. "All the other guys are terrified of me. You're one of the few who aren't afraid of me."
Zaun sighed inwardly. Salami's life was indeed somewhat miserable. Although she was called a young lady, she had never enjoyed any happiness.
Soon after, he encountered the Demon Lord usurping the throne. He was obsessed with revenge and led his loyal old subordinates to hide and flee. No wonder his mentality became so twisted later on.
Of course, he also knew what was important. He sympathized with her, but he still had to do what needed to be done: "I'm not here to play with the young lady. I'm a friend of the King of Incest. I've come to bring you some news."
