Capítulo 1076: Chapter 523: The First Demon General’s Loyalty

“Your will is the direction of my sword!”

Bai Ya’s firm and fervent voice echoed in the secret chamber.

She never imagined that the great Blood God’s Blade, offspring of the Father of Plague, the Dual-God Chosen Lord Di Yun,

would suddenly descend upon the base, now hearing that Li Ye has a significant task to assign.

Excitement surged in Bai Ya’s heart. A shiver ran down her spine, and her bloodlust began to stir.

She had waited too long since Li Ye returned undercover to the Giant City; as the first Demon General, she hadn’t fought alongside him.

During the only battle at the Immortal Palace Battlefield, she withdrew early, unable to enjoy the slaughter with the Divine Chosen One.

As a Demon General, she should have galloped alongside her loyal Divine Chosen, savoring the glory of battle!

But due to Chaos’s plans, they had been forced to part.

Her heart constantly longed for it.

Such a powerful Divine Chosen should lead the Chaos Demon Army to bring the greatest slaughter to the world!

And now, this opportunity finally came!

“Our legion awaits your command!”

Bai Ya’s response made Li Ye nod in satisfaction.

Very well, aside from other aspects of the Blood God Faction, in terms of the Demon General’s loyalty, it does indeed excel.

The Church’s brainwashing education made them extremely loyal to the Blood God and the Divine Chosen.

Of course, the premise is that the Divine Chosen is exceptional enough.

After all, within the Blood God Faction, challenging the Divine Chosen is not prohibited.

If you can defeat the Divine Chosen at the same level, severing the Divine Chosen’s head, then you become the new Divine Chosen! The Blood God would not be angry, but rather bless the victor!

‘It was indeed the right decision to let her escape from the Immortal Palace.’

Li Ye thought, looking at Bai Ya bowing before him.

Back then, Bai Ya managed to escape during the Immortal Palace Battlefield partly due to the authorities secretly easing their grip.

A Demon General who is utterly loyal to Li Ye can assist him in accomplishing many things.

Then Li Ye turned to the rapidly approaching man with a gas mask.

“You must be Yu Mian? You’ve done well.” Li Ye smiled, nodded to him.

Li Ye knew this former elite believer who had argued fiercely with the Luo Duo Chosen One to secure Vajra Huai Wood for Li Ye. The cost was his entire face being dissolved by the virus.

To reward his bravery and loyalty, Li Ye appointed him as his second Demon General, Yu Mian.

If there were a few more such ‘loyal’ Demon Generals, Li Ye could wield his sword against Zhu Tu and other Blood God Chosen Ones, proclaiming himself as the true heir of the Blood God.

Yu Mian immediately knelt, unable to hide his excitement in his voice: “Greetings, Lord Di Yun!”

“Alright, there’s no need for formalities,” Li Ye said. “I have an important task to deliver; there’s no time to pass messages through our covert channels, so I came directly. Such tasks require my direct presence to ensure confidence.”

“Lord, it would be very dangerous… Our power within the Giant City is scant, should we be exposed…” Bai Ya reminded.

“Oh Bai Ya, you should know, I am also the Ninth Generation Human Champion!” Li Ye smiled. “Even if you go to the Processing Department headquarters now shouting that I am a Chaos Chosen, they will treat you like a madman.”

It is indeed so. How would the Human Giant City ever believe a Human Champion would betray humans?

Just like it would be absurd for the Chaos Faction to suspect its Divine Chosen of betraying the Divine.

Li Ye patted Bai Ya’s shoulder, signaling them to rise. Then he said, “You must have seen the smoke signals in the sky.”

Bai Ya and the others stood up and nodded: “Yes, Lord Di Yun. Judging from the direction and previously gathered intelligence, it appears that the Forbidden Zone·Demon Abyss Mountain launched an assault on Ba Shu Mountain City.”

“Do you know the reason?” Li Ye frowned. “Do we only have a single covert line operating within the Forbidden Zone?”

If Chaos managed to corrupt only one lord within the Forbidden Zone, it would hardly live up to its name. Li Ye wanted to obtain more detailed intel from different eyes.

“Lord, you may not know. Demon Abyss Mountain underwent a thorough cleansing recently, many of our eyes were thrown into the Dark Abyss within the Forbidden Zone, their lives and deaths unknown. Currently, only the lord from the Eternal Life Faction can relay information to us. All he knows is that the Forbidden Zone plans to deploy troops, but he is unaware of the high-level plans.” Yu Mian replied: “We are also curious why the Forbidden Zone would launch an attack while the Giant City is strong.”

The Chaos Faction too felt puzzled by the Forbidden Zone’s decision.

But the Forbidden Zone and Giant City are both adversaries to the Chaos Faction. To them, this is a case of infighting, a fortunate spectacle. They plan to spectate, or intervene at opportune moments.

“Unaware of the reason… Well, since the Forbidden Zone has initiated the war, we cannot just wait idly.”

Li Ye sneered coldly: “As the Ninth Generation Human Champion, I will certainly go to the frontline to support the Ba Shu Mountain City.”

Different Giant City Circles often lack the capacity to substantially support other Giant City Circles.

First, each Giant City Circle must confront its own opposed Forbidden Zone.

If major elite movements occur, lowering local defenses, then the Forbidden Zone will certainly take action.

Therefore, the Old Mad King, Amber King, and other Supremes have always stationed themselves in the Giant City, rarely departing.

Should the Forbidden Zone detect a human king leaving the Giant City, they will inevitably launch an immediate attack on the city. This is undoubted.

Secondly, different Giant City Circles are inherently far apart, with Forbidden Zones in between. Large troop advances must first bypass one or several Forbidden Zones, guarding against interference.
