Defeat them one by one (1)
There are six demon kings who landed on the east coast of Qiu Ne: the pregnant demon king Aglaya, the eyeless demon king Baibet, the transformation demon king Holly, the mechanical demon king Lilisai, the voice demon king Ruijun, and the puppet demon king Feileng.
They first killed the Breeding Demon King, and then captured the Transformation Demon King and the Eyeless Demon King.
"The most difficult one to deal with is the Demon King of Mind Voice." Inger looked at the red crosses on the map. They had checked most of the recycling areas, but still hadn't found any trace of Ruijun. In fact, not only could he read the minds of others, he could also change into the appearance of any creature. As long as he really wanted to hide, no one would be able to find him.
The last time Alex finally got rid of him was after landing on the Human Slave Island in the East Continent, and he paid a very painful price.
Moreover, the Demon King of the Inner Voice was the culprit who caused the final tragedy of the Neka family before the flashback.
Thinking of this, the temperature around Inger's body seemed to drop a few degrees.
Alex said, "I don't think so. We have faced the Demon King of Inner Voice before. He likes to hide, but he is not reluctant to show up."
Alex killed the Voice Demon King once, so it's normal to say this.
He continued, "What worries me the most is that we have not yet fought the puppet demon king who can possess people. We don't know his true identity or his purpose."
Alex's face darkened. The death of the twins was a past event he did not want to recall. He had even called them to fight alongside him out of concern for them, but the puppet demon king seemed to have evaporated from the world and had not appeared since the demon war began.
Someone raised the question: "Does that puppet demon king really exist? After all, prophecies are not always accurate."
If you don't know the truth of the incident, this guess makes sense.
Because of Inger's actions, most of the Neka family survived, Lanmore did not go to the battlefield, and the capital did not fall.
It is possible that the Puppet King disappeared in the process of changing events, or died somewhere along the way.
Alex smiled faintly: "Maybe, I hope I'm overthinking it."
Inger couldn't help frowning.
[This has not been taken into consideration. How should Fei Leng and the others evacuate...]
He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know when and how to tell Alex about this. He was sure that Alex would not forgive such an act of betrayal, and it was difficult to explain his behavior.
Of course, he had thought about this matter many times, but each time he suppressed it. He always thought about it when the time came.
By this time, they had pushed the battle line so far that only one-eighth of the land had yet to be recovered.
They found Lilithe in a cave to the southeast.
The demons she led actually used human cold and hot weapons, and some of them even used insulated stone spears.
To this end, the Qune Army withdrew all wizards and low-level knights.
Only high-level knights have super-fast reflexes that can ignore gunfire: bullets.
Under the siege of high-level knights, Lilisai was helpless. Like Baibet and Holly, the Demon King was definitely not weak, but under the fierce attack of a ninth-level knight, she had to deal with more than a dozen seventh- and eighth-level knights at the same time. She was so helpless.
And she has a fatal weakness: she is afraid of light.
She is more afraid of strong and irritating light than the average demon.
And Alex happens to be of the light attribute.
"Humans!!! Shameless!!! Die!!!"
Lilisai acted like a child and had all eight legs chopped off.
No matter how much damage the level 7 or 8 knights took, none of them died.
They grinned and fist-bumped each other to celebrate their victory.
Who cares whether it's a group fight or a one-on-one win or loss.
As long as we can win, that's all.
Moreover, in the early stages of the war, they were the ones at a numerical disadvantage.
Lilith is actually one of the demon kings who is relatively "friendly" to humans. She will train humans and have them study machinery with her. She thinks some low-level demons are too stupid.
But the sentence she says most often is: Human beings are so stupid!
She thought that among a group of hopeless fools, she had only humans to choose from.
Alex didn't kill her in the end, and there was a reason for that.
If her body is cut directly, her reproductive system will start to work. There are many tiny eggs hidden in her body, tens of millions of eggs smaller than fingernails, which are stuck to each of her spider silks. As long as she dies completely and one of the spider silks is not processed cleanly, the eggs on these spider silks will find a chance to hatch. The only ones who survive are her clones, carrying all her memories and abilities, and returning to the world stronger than last time.
Lilisay had never been hacked to death in all the years she had been born, so this was her first time.
Flashing back to the past, Alex's subordinate knights neglected to burn all the spider silks, and then faced more than a dozen complete mechanical demon kings.
But this mechanism only works when she dies.
The solution is also very simple.
"Seal her body in cement. She won't die."
"What did you say???!"
"It's just a joke." Inger said this without a smile on his face: "If you don't want to be sealed in cement for the rest of your life, then cooperate."
She had no doubt of the truth of his words since they had shown her Hawley sealed in the black insulated stone box.
She is not as heartless as Bai Beite.
“….” Lilysey was as quiet as death.
They put her on the operating table.
Lilisay made a final verbal struggle: "Or you can just kill me."
"You wish."
The surgeon opened her up, extracted the tiny eggs entangled in flesh and blood from her horrifically complex organs, and burned them all.
Lilisay watched the whole thing with a blank expression, trying not to roll her eyes or laugh out loud.
【Humans are still so stupid.】
It wasn't until they removed her gonads, the organs that produce eggs, that she stopped laughing altogether.
Her eight spiders were removed and deactivated with chemicals.
She asked again in a state of despair, "Why didn't you kill me?"
Even if we kill her now, she won't be able to revive with her clone.
However, Inger simply locked her up.
Alex asked him, "You want to keep her for the experiment?"
"right."
Of course, they started the experiment after taking sufficient precautions.
The reason for keeping White Beth and Lilyse is to do an experiment. The demon kings are all highly intelligent, so what changes will happen to them?
Furthermore, he heard from Fei Leng that the Pure-Blooded Demon King not only had a very close connection with the Mother Tree, but they also had a strong connection with each other, mainly of the kind that repelled each other.
Because their strength is similar, in the demon race, this is equivalent to their status being the same, and this is also the reason why they divide their territories.
Perhaps this can help us find the location of the Demon King of the Voice.
Fei Leng possessed another person and secretly found Inger at night.
"I think you guys have almost solved the problem here. I'm going back to the East Continent to check the situation first."
Just as Inger was about to ask how to evacuate, he told her himself.
"I have a hybrid with the ability to teleport."
"who?"
"You know him too, Duper."
"Is it him? I didn't realize he had such ability in the previous few encounters with him?"
“He woke up later.”
"You already know that, so you..."
"Even if he has no ability, he is the one who has taken care of me since I was a child." Fei Leng paused.
He recalled the scene in his previous life when Duper died for him.
He continued, "I'm taking this opportunity to move my people to the Western Continent. I hope you can protect them."
Inger then understood why Fei Leng and his men were rarely seen in this chaotic battlefield, because there was more than one strange being around him.
The demon race, especially the mixed-bloods, were more likely to have people with extraordinary abilities. He used his experience from his previous life to gather the available people and also methodically paved the way for their future lives.
"Lexia was able to hide our tracks. I hid them in several underground air-raid shelters, the ones you once lost. There were also some humans and hybrids I rescued on the battlefield. I often went to see them. They got along well, but they were afraid that they would be captured and killed by you if they went out. I beg you to be careful about this."
Fei Leng's words were gentle and earnest. Inger was just a little moved. The smile on his face did not fade, but his tone suddenly dropped: "My relatives are also in there. I can't bring them back to the East Continent. If they are wronged or hurt in any way, what will I do? You should know it best."
Inger said coldly: "You don't need to remind me. There is no need for me to hurt them."
Fei Leng: "I entrusted it to you because I trust you. I don't trust anyone else except you."
Inger asked, "Do you know where Rheeshire is?"
Fei sneered: "I have been avoiding him. You know his ability. If he gets close to me, everything between us will be exposed."
He thought for a moment and continued to pour cold water on her: "I think he should have known about your Purifiers by now. You should pay more attention to your rear and your people. After all, deformation and stirring up people's hearts are what he is best at."
Inger naturally thought of the points he had considered.
Ruijun himself had been raising humans on the Human Slave Island for hundreds of years, and even formed a closed human civilization. In that small world, he regarded himself as a god and observed humans for so many years.
It was very easy for him to become a human.
On the battlefield, he may very well become the soldier you know, your everyday comrade-in-arms, someone you cannot guard against at all.
In some ways, he is the hardest to kill.
Inger: "We will consider the countermeasures carefully."
Fei Leng then told him where his people were resettled and some other details.
Finally, Fei Leng picked up the nameplate on her neck and smiled: "Inger, we need to keep in touch."
Inger was speechless and watched him walk out.
The next day, Inger led people to search that area. This was his daily task besides fighting and healing. One was to search for people, and the other was to find branches of the demon mother tree.
Fei Leng probably went to notify them personally, and the concealment disappeared. He then naturally "discovered" the air-raid shelter where people were hiding, and brought everyone inside out.
Among the group of people, he saw Liexia, who had black skin, white hair, and green snake eyes, and a half-blood demon who was the leader.
Long red curly hair, blue eyes similar to Jade's, soft rabbit hair on her arms, and a smooth ponytail growing from her tailbone that sways gently behind her.
He had seen her once or twice when he was in Fei Leng's body. She was Fei Leng's biological sister, Sonya.
The child she was holding in her arms was the eight-year-old little Xiuer.
With her completely red skin and short black hair, her face doesn't look like her father's. Instead, it looks like her devil mother. She has wide eyes, a chubby face, and a silly look as she stands with her hands on her hips. She is also not like her second brother who is as cunning as a wasp's nest. One can tell at a glance that she is born with a lack of brains.
Maybe that's why he likes her more.
Inger looked around and found that all the people he had seen in the village of Florence were brought here. They were no longer as thin and frail as they had been when he first saw them. Perhaps it was because they had eaten more to replenish their nutrition and had started to work on the land. Their physical and mental conditions had improved a lot.
Inger came down alone for the time being. He said to Lexia and Sonya, "Feng Leng asked me to protect you. You must cooperate with me no matter what I ask you to do from now on."
Lie Xia looked at him with cold eyes, but she still nodded: "Since Lord Fei Leng believes in you, we will do as he says." She added, "If you dare to act rashly, he will not let you go easily."
Inger said calmly, "I know you can speak Chune. When people come, don't speak in Chune. Leave everything to me."
Inger asked the messenger to report back that it would not take long for Alex to arrive at this place.
Alex was also scared by the people in this place.
"I have talked to some of their leaders. It is said that most of them are slaves of the Demon Queen, slaves of humans, slaves of demons born by humans. The Demon Queen brought them to this continent and hid them here. She also took concealment measures, so they have never been discovered. But because she is dead, they have been trapped here and have never left."
Because most air-raid shelters had planting and livestock facilities inside, they did not starve to death.
This is the most reasonable explanation.
Alex had no doubts. Inger pondered for a while, frowned and said, "The question now is how to deal with them."
Alex looked around. He remembered that he had seen similar human slaves when he went to the Demon Continent. They were all very thin, and no one brought them to the Western Continent last time. But this was a good sign.
He smiled and said, "Let's take them out first, check if they have any diseases, injuries or malnutrition, and give them food and a place to stay."
Inger said calmly: "Aren't you afraid of them..."
Alex scanned the group of people and said, "They have been able to live with humans for so long, and there are no signs of beating on the humans, which shows that they are trustworthy." He paused and looked at the environment in the underground cave. "And this place is well maintained. They are serious about living here. It's much better than us fighting above."
He had been to civilian bases and some human shelters and found that not all bases were harmonious. Where there were people, there were conflicts and classes. In order to compete for resources in a small space, it was common for groups to bully others. This was what he hated the most. Once he found such people, he would deal with them severely, but this situation still continued.
However, here, he only took a few glances and could tell that the people and demons here could live in harmony, which was not an easy thing to do.
Alex poked Inger and said, "Please translate it for me."
Inger's eyes showed a hint of smile: "Okay."
Alex said, "Please don't be afraid, don't resist. We won't lock you up. We will give you a place to live and food to eat. If you don't want to leave now, you can stay here. We fully respect your wishes. If you have made a choice, please convey it to us. If you need anything, please tell me. We will try our best to satisfy you."
After saying this, he asked the soldiers and knights behind him to put away their weapons and take a step back.
Inger translated his words word for word.
Both humans and demons looked skeptical.
Lixia could understand his original words, and the coldness in her eyes melted a lot.
Something warm grew silently in Inger's chest.
Alex, he will never let down those who believe in him.
Those humans and demons had already decided to leave. They usually would not refuse Fei Leng's request, and now they would not stay here. Seeing that the leader Alex had a good attitude, they felt relieved.
However, as soon as they raised their heads, they could see the clear eyes of Alex, and the confusion in the eyes of the human knights and soldiers behind him. They looked at the human slaves with pity, but always looked at the demons with vigilance and strangeness.
Inger knew that this trend would continue for a long time, and he could fully understand their feelings.
This is not something that can be changed overnight.
Subsequent management should also be difficult.
It stands to reason that allowing them to remain in this shelter would make it easier to manage and protect them.
But then it will be more difficult for them to get out. They cannot stay underground forever. They need to go out under the blue sky, blend into the crowd, and be accepted by the crowd.
Alex knew this, so he proposed it to them and took the initiative to assume this responsibility.
He was saying that as long as he was there, he would keep them safe.
