Chapter 803: The Demon God Emperor’s Plan (II) (1/2)
The Hell Demon God Marbas said, “Fourth brother’s right. Sixth brother, Agares and Vassago have more than their own clans. They’re on good terms with many demon gods, so if you look at their total strength, we’re nowhere close to being their opponents. And, Agares and Vassago’s personal strength is what’s most important. If something happens to his majesty and we have to choose a new…”
“Fifth brother, watch your mouth,” Samigina shot him a glance and Marbas immediately shut up.
Valefor was rather curious, “Is Agares really that powerful? If I get the chance, I need to see just how powerful he is.”
Samigina said seriously, “You don’t have to. If the information I possess is correct, then even if we work together, we might not necessary match Agares.”
“What?” This time, it was not just Valefor. Even Marbas was surprised.
“Agares is actually so powerful?” Marbas exclaimed.
Samigina nodded, “He’ll only be more powerful than you imagine. He might behave so politely before his majesty, but in reality, I have reliable information that Agares has surpassed the seventh rank of the ninth step. He might have even reached the eighth rank of the ninth step. Haven’t you realised? In the past century, no matter where his majesty goes, he will have Agares accompany him. It seems like they’re the closest, but really, he’s always been wary of second brother. If Agares works with Vassago, they can even pose a certain degree of threat to his majesty.”
“Last time when his majesty tried to force Vassago into his death, he had directly done so in such a brutal fashion, all because of Austin Griffin. His majesty really did intend on changing the Star Demon God back then. Vasago’s cultivation isn’t much weaker than Agares’, and his Great Prophecy Technique is terrifying in battle. On that day in the palace, Agares and Vassago were not carrying their Demon God Pillars, or they really might have thrown themselves at his majesty. In the end, his majesty didn’t force Vassago into his death, but I noticed back then that his majesty looked at Agares at least five times when Vassago was using his Prophecy of Life. His gaze was clearly one of caution. And, if I’ve recalled correctly, when the Prophecy of Life reaches its last moment, Vassago can unleash an attack using a terrifying power of prophecy as its caster. His majesty might not have possessed the confidence in dealing with the two of them or retreating safely, which was why he saved Vassago in the last moment.”
Valefor’s joy from before completely evaporated after listening to Samigina. He had always believed that although he ranked sixth among the demon gods, his cultivation was basically the same as the demon gods above him. However, after listening to Samigina and finding out that Agares and Vassago were actually so powerful, his confidence immediately plummeted.
Samigina smiled, “Don’t get depressed. Most of the time, being overly powerful isn’t necessarily good. His majesty’s cultivation has already reached a level we can’t imagine. His future goal is to become a god, and then pass on his position to Ah’Bao. Although Ah’Bao’s improving very quickly, he’s nowhere close to Agares and Vassago. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Marbas and Valefor’s eyes immediately lit up when they heard that.
Seeing that they understood, Samigina smiled, “Who knows, maybe our rankings will change when that happens. Alright, let’s go. No matter what, we have to complete his majesty’s mission first. This is an easy task. The humans’ wealth is currently waving at us.”
Whether it was the Temple Union or the demons, they all began to prepare secretly. They were experiencing the calm before an unprecedented war, As Samigina, Marbas and Valefor discussed between themselves, Ah’Bao had already set off with twenty powerhouses from the Devil Dragon Clan. He traveled northward as quickly as he could.
…
“That’s a good idea. If there’s only us, it’ll be much easier whether it’s advancing or retreating,” Lin Xin said excitedly.
Long Haochen nodded, “Pass down the order. Han Yu, return with your army. Make preparation near the border outside the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass for our return.”
“Yes,” Han Yu answered, before immediately standing up and leaving.
They had just destroyed the demons’ seventh provincial capital and the army had gathered there as well. In the past seven days, the army had basically been on the constant move around in the north. They were like a powerful storm, tearing through everything they passed by.
However, given the current time, the demons must have mobilised themselves already. If the human army were to continue, they would definitely travel further south and there would be a greater possibility of encountering the reinforcement army from the demons. As a result, after a discussion with his companions, Long Haochen decided to have the army retreat back to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass first. The Bright Glimmer of Hope, the Eternal Heroes and he would continue their attacks on the demon provinces.”
Everyone who stayed behind was a powerhouse of the ninth step. No matter what situation they were in, they could retreat safely at the very least.
Even if they did not come across the reinforcement army, the next target would be their final battle to lure the enemy out.
