316 Following the Trend (2/2)

”Therefore, this operation would be extremely crucial!”

Fang Yuan continued. ”Invading the capital city of Da Chu was initially a mere contest among the humans. However, if any demons were to get themselves involved in the invasion, then we will have to take action! Since we have brought along all our water dwellers with us, it is only a small matter if we have to sacrifice all of them. If the Divine Demon Queen were to stop us, we will still put up our best fight!”

Although the soldiers in the dragon palaces were only good in battles underwater, they could still hold their ground on land; they would merely be a little weaker than they used to be.

However, to Fang Yuan, none of this mattered.

Instead, if the casualty rate of his water dwellers were high, the power of Qi Lake would be weakened. This would be aligned with the heavenly trend and therefore, there was nothing to be pity about!

This was breaking things up into two steps. Firstly, he would continually do good deeds to gain heavenly dao karma. As for the people dao, as long as he did not oppose the heavenly trend, he would not be at risk of anything.

After all, the heavens were cruel. No one could say for sure if the true dragon would come from the Xu Family.

Seeing how Fang Yuan's eyes were glistening, the Golden Court Dragon God shook.

Being so decisive and meticulous as to deal with issues separately in terms of heavenly dao and people dao and having such a deep understanding of the people dao meant that there was no way they could fail!

”With such a potential person among us demons, I have no worries!”

The Golden Court Dragon God let out a sigh and released a signal.

From a big river, troops of water dwellers appeared, forming a military formation.

”Some of the Golden Court Army and An River Army have left behind to take care of the lake and river. I have 12,000 of them reporting here today, and I'll let you command them!!!”

A golden glow appeared on the Golden Court Dragon God's hand and transformed into a dragon scale. With that, he passed the scale to Fang Yuan.

”Do not worry. Just remember, we are here to attack the demons who are opposing the heavenly trend. We will not touch a single human regardless of the situation. I'll leave all those problems to Xu Ting!”

Fang Yuan glanced at the outline of the capital city and laughed. ”Let's go!”

...

On the city walls of the capital city of Da Chu.

The Divine Demon Queen was sitting atop the city walls, looking pitiful. However, the guards beside her were ignoring everything. It was weird.

Upon closer look, the guards had a demonic glow in their eyes. As the torches illuminated their faces, black streaks were seen on their faces.

”Reporting, Queen!”

A lieutenant walked up and paid his greetings. ”All the soldiers who are willing to listen to your command have arrived! We have obtained more than half of the defences of the city!”

He was indeed a powerful demon to be able to take up the form of a human! An independent powerful demon!

Of course, with the Empress Dowager's assistance and the few demon spies around Wang Xu, it was possible to possess people in the royal palace.

”Alright, this time, we shall make use of the city walls to destroy and wipe out Xu Ting's army. It would be even better if we can capture him!”

The Divine Demon Queen commanded.

”Yes, Ma'am!”

With a cunning laugh, the lieutenant's eyes glistened.

As soon as the demon lieutenant was dismissed, the Divine Demon Queen looked down at the sea of black beneath the city walls and let out a sigh.

The previous fight with Baili Xuandu had weakened the dragon energy, but her demons had suffered a high casualty rate. She had even lost some of her elite demons.

Humans were able to reproduce and get their numbers up quickly. In a few years, a huge troop of soldiers were arriving once more.

Furthermore, this time, there were many elite and capable people assisting the soldiers.

Looking at her own demons, she realised that comparatively, her demons reproduce slower. Even if she were to multiply their numbers by 10 or even 100, she would still lose out in terms of numbers!

”For the demons, I'll have to make do!”

”The good thing is that I have received news that we have located a few islands far from here. These islands have an abundance of spiritual energy. I have already instructed the weaker demons to relocate there. With this, I can at least preserve some of our species...”

The Divine Demon Queen looked towards the direction of Xu Ting's campsite and gave a cunning laugh. ”Even if I have to sacrifice all my demons, I must ensure that I destroy the people dao's dragon energy completely and ensure that chaos will break out for the next hundred years to come!”

She had made up her mind.

”Kill!”

At this point in time, there were shoutings and warcries. The Divine Demon Queen turned pale. ”Jerk, traitors!”

Beneath the city walls, 20,000 water dwellers formed neat rows.

Witnessing this, the Divine Demon Queen was enraged.

She had initially planned to sacrifice all her demons to destroy the people dao's dragon energy and create chaos.

However, if she were to start a war with the water dwellers, regardless of who would win the war, it was their own internal conflict and the humans would be the one who would benefit from their own conflict!

”Roar! Roar!”

Amidst dragon roars, the silhouette of two water dragons appeared. Fang Yuan transformed into a man with a crown. Together with the Golden Court Dragon God, they looked towards the city walls.

”Qi Lake Dragon God, as a dragon, you are an asset to the demons. Why do you want to seek refuge with the humans?”

The Divine Demon Queen had already lost all hope for the Golden Court Dragon God. Looking at Fang Yuan, she was in disbelief.

”Since this is the heavenly trend, how can I oppose it?”

Fang Yuan waved his hands. ”This conversation is meaningless! Attack the city!”
