"Why?" the Dragon King pressed.
The old tortoise shook his head, a wry smile on his face: "We only placed one maidservant with Princess Ao Yun... There are many things we don't know..."
His voice carried a hint of helplessness.
The divisions between the various tribes of the Siren are very serious.
Inserting the eyes is very difficult.
Especially since Ao Yun was a princess, it took a great deal of effort to plant spies around her.
Upon hearing the old tortoise's words, a strange light flashed in the Dragon King's eyes.
A playful smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Forget about her. As long as I can achieve the highest merit this time and gain the qualification to establish a demon kingdom, she will not be able to escape my grasp."
At this point, he changed the subject and said, "However, you should send someone to the Southern Region as soon as possible to find out what happened!"
Just as the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"Your Majesty, General Crab has dispatched a messenger demon soldier to report important news!"
Accompanied by the sound, a demon soldier dressed in golden armor entered.
It was the same one who had stopped the shrimp-headed demon soldiers outside the palace earlier.
After entering the main hall, the golden-armored demon soldiers knelt down decisively, holding the golden token high with both hands.
Upon hearing his words, the Dragon King glanced at the golden token in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He muttered to himself, "That guy Crab Four, I think I sent him to the Southern Region before."
As if on cue, he was just about to have Old Turtle send someone to find out about the Southern Region, but he didn't expect Old Crab to send someone directly to report the news.
This is a good opportunity to learn about the recent situation in the Southern Region.
And why did Ao Yun suddenly abandon the army and return to the sea?
Thinking this, Ao Huang cut off his thoughts, looked up at the golden-armored demon soldier, and said, "Let the messenger in."
"Your subordinate obeys!"
At a command, the golden-armored demon soldiers quickly stood up from the ground, bowed their heads, and backed out of the main hall.
"Prime Minister Turtle, serve me well, and when I am granted the title of Demon King, I will surely make you the true Prime Minister!"
Ao Huang looked at the Turtle Prime Minister and said in a seductive voice.
Upon hearing this, a gleam of surprise flashed in the old tortoise's cloudy eyes.
He quickly knelt down and said sincerely, "This old servant thanks Your Majesty!"
His voice trembled slightly with excitement.
For the turtle clan, becoming the prime minister of a country is the highest honor.
Because in ancient times, their ancestors served as prime ministers under the Dragon Kingdom.
It has been passed down to this day.
Their descendants all considered it an honor to become the prime minister of the demon kingdom.
"Alright, alright, as long as you do a good job, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
As Ao Huang spoke, he waved his hand, releasing an invisible force that lifted the old tortoise from the ground.
"This old servant will certainly not fail Your Majesty's expectations!" The old tortoise was moved to tears.
"You can go down now."
Ao Huang didn't say anything more, just waved his hand, signaling the old ghost to leave.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do as Your Majesty instructs."
After saying this, the old tortoise slowly left the main hall with strange gaits.
Before long, the shrimp-headed demon soldier was led into the main hall by two golden-armored demon soldiers.
"Your Majesty, I... I have met you..."
The shrimp-headed demon soldier knelt on the ground, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
This is a normal reaction when encountering a dragon.
Although Ao Huang did not intentionally release any pressure.
However, as a pure-blooded dragon, the aura he exuded with every move was enough to instill fear from his bloodline in the shrimp-headed demon soldiers.
Ao Huang did not care about the fear of the shrimp-headed demon soldiers.
He opened his mouth and swallowed the fruit offered by the clam spirit, then asked casually, "What message did Crab Four ask you to deliver?"
But no sooner had the question been asked than...
The shrimp-headed demon soldier suddenly burst into tears.
"Your Majesty... General Crab has been killed by humans!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Huang's previously lazy expression vanished instantly.
At the same time, his eyes widened, revealing golden vertical pupils.
An unparalleled dragon's might swept across the hall.
All the clam spirits and shell maidens, including the two golden-armored demon soldiers who had bet the shrimp-headed demon soldiers, trembled under this oppressive aura.
"What happened? I want you to tell me everything, in detail!"
Ao Huang's voice was icy cold and filled with supreme authority.
"The thing is...the thing is, that day, after I reported the news to General Crab..."
Under Ao Huang's immense dragon might.
Surprisingly, the shrimp-headed demon soldier's voice returned to normal.
He quickly told Ao Huang what had happened that day.
The four-clawed crab was sent to request reinforcements.
He hadn't gone far when he witnessed the arrival of the humans.
The earth-shattering battle between the two sides resulted in heavy casualties among the demon soldiers.
Fortunately, he swam very fast, so he wasn't caught in the crossfire.
However, he witnessed firsthand the scene of the four-clawed sea crab being blasted to smithereens by thirty human cultivators.
"...Your Majesty, General Crab was attacked by a group of them and was blown to pieces. You must avenge him..."
As he finished speaking, the shrimp-headed demon soldier's voice became extremely sorrowful, as if his own loved one had passed away.
Although he was just a lowly messenger demon soldier next to the Four-Clawed Crab.
But after spending a lot of time together, there's still a certain amount of affection between you.
Most importantly, the sea people are a race that places great importance on loyalty.
If the four-clawed crab were to die, his performance would be slightly less impressive.
It's easy to anger Ao Huang, and then your life will be in danger.
