Chapter 462: The Holy War triggered by Long Haochen? (2/2)

“Commander grade?” The fourth Hidden Knight appeared in shock. How could a commander grade Demon Hunt Squad be in possession of a forbidden spell ranked scroll? Even for Demon Hunt Squads, these things out to cost at least a million contribution points. And could a Demon Hunter even trigger a forbidden scroll of the earth element?

However, following his shock, he suddenly realized how Long Haochen had just named himself.

“So… You are Long Haochen?” This time, the tone of this Hidden Knight changed totally.

Long Haochen nodded in puzzlement, “Yes that’s me! Have you heard of me before?” From his point of view, the fact this senior had heard of his name should be related to his relationship with Cai’er. But even so, there was no need to act so shocked.

“Of course, of course I heard of you before. You are extremely well-known! So it was actually you. Then it’s no wonder, no wonder at all…”

Hearing his words, Long Haochen was at a loss. Without waiting for his reply, the fourth Hidden Knight seemed to have suddenly become extremely impatient, “This won’t do. Follow me as fast as possible, all of you. We will return to the Exorcist Mountain Path by flight.”

“Senior, what were you just…” Long Haochen was greatly puzzled by this senior, and the same went for everyone else. This fourth Hidden Knight’s excitement sounded somewhat abnormal.

The fourth Hidden Knight replied, “Follow me first, I will explain to you on the way. At long last you guys are back.”

Afterwards, he instructed the other assassins to return to the Alliance, and took the initiative to bring Long Haochen’s group of seven back, spreading out their spiritual wings and directly heading towards the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

“Senior, can you tell me now what happened?” In midair, Long haochen asked him once again.

Seeing the four wings spreading out on Long Haochen’s back, the fourth Hidden Knight had another shock. This youngster is indeed quite an abnormal one! Whoah.

“The demon armies are besieging us. Since you are finally back, you ought to know. ”The fourth Hidden Knight replied.

Long Haochen nodded, “We saw that the demon approach had become especially tumultuous this time. The military force they have gathered is considerable. That’s why we had to take the long route to head there, climbing over the mountain. That’s how we ran across that second Demon Emperor Legion.”

The fourth Hidden Knight replied, “This situation isn’t only taking place in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, but at all the strategic points of the Alliance. The demons dispatched the overwhelming majority of their troops, launching a Holy War against the Alliance.”

“What?!” Long Haochen had already guessed that this ought to be an intense conflict, but didn’t think things would be so serious.

A Holy War, meaning a war that wouldn’t stop until total annihilation. This was a full strength clash between the two races. But the demons hadn’t launched such a war for over two thousand years. Could they have gone mad?

The fourth Heroic Knight glanced at Long Haochen, “Do you know why a Holy War is happening now?”

Long Haochen shook his head. How could he guess such a thing?

The fourth Hidden Knight replied, “The demons came very suddenly, about half a month ago, assembling enormous armies in each major human stronghold. They originally only surrounded them without attacking. The Alliance responded rapidly, transferring their inner troops, making a forced repatriation of the whole available forces, and warning the whole population to prepare for changes. The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu personally brought out the threat of a Holy War, with a single demand. If we could respond to it, they would immediately withdraw, otherwise, they would launch this army of millions of troops, to start a Holy War in the edges of the whole Alliance.”

“What was his demand?” For the demons to burst out so brazenly, Long Haochen was not only puzzled but moreover full of shock and curiosity.

The fourth Hidden Knight took a deep breath, before giving a simple reply, “It was you.”

“What? Me? Are you sure?” When Long Haochen heard that reply, he felt totally confused, and full of disbelief.

How could this be! Even if he escaped from Ah’Bao’s hands, and caused severe troubles to the demons, every Demon Hunt Squad was the same! How could the Demon God Emperor make such a fuss over such a minor issue, triggering this Holy War just because of me?

The fourth Hidden Knight smiled bitterly, “No one understood the motives of the Demon God Emperor. But their motives are just as you heard. They wanted the Alliance to hand over you, or otherwise, this Holy War would be launched. This was his only request.”

Not only Long Haochen had a grotesque look on his face. How couldn’t it be the same for his comrades. A Holy War related to the extinction of one of the demon or the human race was actually triggered just because of Long Haochen. This simple reason was very hard to comprehend.

The nearby Sima Xian couldn’t help but react, “Could this be because we destroyed a demon god pillar? But the news couldn’t have spread so far. Even if he knew, he shouldn’t have reacted so rapidly to that.”

“You… Just what did you say? You destroyed a demon god pillar?” The fourth Hidden Knight felt difficulty to even breath. His whole worldview changed totally. Could such a commander grade Demon Hunt Squad destroy a demon god pillar? How could this be? Just how?

Long Haochen was also totally puzzled, immediately denying Sima Xian’s hypothesis, “It can’t be because of that. Even if this war was sudden, the demons needed the time of one month to prepare for it. At that time, we were still in Jacques City. Is the Demon God Emperor crazy?”

At the current time, he was in a confused state of mind, failing to understanding the motives of the Demon God Emperor. Most of all, he couldn’t comprehend how he could have so mysteriously become the target of the Demon God Emperor?

Cai’er suddenly spoke, “Did the Alliance accept the condition of the Demon God Emperor?” She who had become so cautious after losing her memories, suddenly asked the most important issue.

The others had instantly become vigilant on that issue. Right! Did the Alliance accept the condition of the Demon God Emperor? After all, even with an even greater talent, Long Haochen was just a single person. Such a Holy War would surely put many people in a disastrous condition! Hence it wouldn’t be impossible for the Alliance to abandon Long Haochen. It could be that this confrontation only took place because Long Haochen hadn’t returned yet.

If things are really that way, then now…

Everyone glanced at each other filled with serious feelings of worry.

The eyes of every members gathered all onto the fourth Heroic Assassin Knight, waiting for his reply.
