Zuan was stunned, expressing his incomprehension and great shock.
When did such an ambitious man as the Second Prince develop such high awareness?
Peacock King smiled wryly and said, "Our initial reaction was the same as yours, but after investigation, it was indeed the case. Ever since the Second Prince led his troops in a 'suicide-style' charge into the sealed land, those demons have hardly escaped. It is clear that the Second Prince's proactive attack had an effect."
He sighed: "Although the Second Prince made mistakes back then, he was still a man of integrity and courage, whom we admire."
Zaun asked with some doubt, "Can humans enter the sealed land?"
He had always thought that the demons were sealed inside and that it was not suitable for human survival, but now it seems that this may not be the case.
“The space inside the Sealed Land is actually very vast. Initially, the Sealed Land wasn’t this large; it’s the result of its gradual expansion over thousands of years.” Kong Nanwu looked at the terrifying crack on the horizon, a chill involuntarily rising in his heart. “Many places inside are arrangements and strongholds left by our ancient predecessors who sealed demons. But after thousands of years of struggle and tug-of-war, we were unable to hold onto those former positions, and our battle lines retreated step by step until we finally retreated to Tieyuan City here.”
She paused, her expression extremely complicated: "And in the sealed land, there are actually many places in history that are similar to Tieyuan City."
Zuan's expression was somewhat complicated. In just a few words from the other party, he seemed to see countless blood and fires over the past ten thousand years.
He composed himself and asked in a deep voice, "How did the Little Demon Queen get in again?"
Peacock King replied, “When we arrived here and learned of the heroic deeds of the Second Prince and his soldiers, everyone was excited and clamored to go and support the Second Prince. We cannot let such a hero sacrifice himself in vain.”
"Although the Little Demon Queen is a woman and has a grudge against the Second Prince, she put aside her past grievances and volunteered to lead the team in to provide support, which greatly boosted the morale of the Golden Crow Guards." Kong Nanwu's tone was full of admiration, clearly showing that as a woman herself, the Little Demon Queen was more inspiring to her.
After all, Zuan was a man who had seen all sorts of ups and downs, and his perspective was now far different from before.
He quickly analyzed the Empress's mindset at the time. She was definitely unwilling to save the Second Prince, but his almost martyrdom was too shocking. If she dared to stop the various departments from going in to save him, her prestige would probably suffer an unprecedented blow.
It's important to understand that the demon race's power is different from that of the human empire. Here, the royal court doesn't have as strong a control over the various races, and each race retains considerable independence. The new demon emperor is young, and the demons are orphans and widows, making them easily overthrown.
Of course, the Little Demon Queen couldn't just agree to let her army go to rescue him. If they actually managed to rescue the Second Prince, his prestige would soar to unprecedented heights.
Given their shared experiences of risking their lives together, the elite Golden Crow Guards and various ethnic armies might side with the Second Prince, which would truly be the end for them.
So she volunteered to lead people in to rescue them, thus eliminating these threats ahead of time.
Regardless of whether she can be rescued or not, her image as a brave, fearless, and selfless person has been established.
The entire demon race will respect and admire her. No matter how outstanding the Second Prince is, he can only be a subject under her command.
There's nothing wrong with her behavior, after all, she's taking a lot of risks herself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel worried: "Who followed the little demon into the sealed land?"
"Your Majesty is accompanied by experts from the Golden Crow Clan, as well as the most elite Golden Crow Guards of the Royal Court," the Peacock King replied. "In addition, the Little Golden Roc King is also accompanied by experts from various clans, led by the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan. They are all the most outstanding warriors of the demon race."
"By the way, Queen Medusa is also accompanied by experts from the Serpent Clan by the Little Demon Queen's side." Peacock King added, seemingly aware of their close relationship.
This kid is really a womanizer, but in the demon race, this is not a flaw, but rather a great advantage.
Which demon king doesn't have a harem of wives and concubines? Only the stronger the being, the more spouses they can possess, the more offspring they can reproduce, and the more prosperous their tribe will become.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zuan with increasing satisfaction.
Upon hearing that Yu Yanluo had also entered the sealed land, Zu'an became increasingly worried: "What about the other major forces? For example, the Demon Clan, and the armies of the Scorpion King and the Flying Leopard King?"
He knew that the Great Elf King was protecting the young Demon Emperor and overseeing the royal court, but he had not heard any news about the other important forces.
“Princess Soren has arrived with some of her subordinates. According to her, reinforcements from the Yun family, Soren family, Rong family, and Wu family of the Demon Clan will arrive soon,” Kong Nanwu said, frowning slightly. “But so far, we haven’t received a single soldier from these families.”
Zuan was taken aback. Could it be that the demons didn't want to get involved in this matter at all, and Princess Soren had been used as a pawn?
Or perhaps something happened to the demons?
Kong Nanwu added, "The Scorpion King and the Flying Leopard King should have arrived by now, but so far, we haven't seen any trace of them."
Zuan said coldly, "Are these guys trying to amass power and become too important?"
The Peacock King fell silent; now it seemed that such a possibility was indeed possible.
Neither humans nor demons have ever been a monolithic entity; each has its own demands and interests, making it difficult for them to work together to accomplish anything.
Zuan suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Ming Wang, the human reinforcements will soon be heading north. When they arrive, please send someone to coordinate their arrival and meet them, just in case anything goes wrong."
The Scorpion King and the Flying Leopard King have been fighting against the human race for many years. Their territories are also near the route taken by human reinforcements heading north. If these guys don't help, fine, but if they set their sights on the human army, Tu Shanyu will definitely not be able to stop them.
