Protect Our Clan Leader

Capítulo 1958: Chapter 186: Even the Immortal Emperor Wants to Get a Free Ride? (Part 2)

“Without me holding the pressure and leading away the Three Castles Reinforcements, could you have achieved any merit?”

“Hmph! Do you really think I know nothing?” Wang Ying Xuan furiously pointed at Marshal Zhao, “By the time the Three Castles Reinforcements returned, you had long fled in panic, hiding in defense. I heard you even made a big score before you left. It’s good enough that I’m not asking you to split half of your spoils with me.”

“The spoils that this Marshal obtained with my own skills, why should I share them with you?”

The old and the young surprisingly started a fierce argument in the deputy command post, and the scene was simply unbearable to watch.

Princess Su Yun suddenly had a splitting headache.

The number of oddballs under her command was increasing rapidly, and it was truly overwhelming~

…

Meanwhile.

Yincha Demonic God Palace.

Main Hall.

As the core of the Demonic God Palace, the main hall was not only a place where the Demonic God met with subordinates, but also the most luxurious and majestic place in the Demonic God Palace.

Inside the main hall, tall columns were entwined with mysterious demonic runes on the surface, exuding a sinister and eerie aura. The arched dome, with its embedded jewels glowing, cast a dazzling array of colors throughout the spacious main hall.

Everything in the main hall appeared to be no different from usual.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere inside the main hall was so oppressive that it could suffocate demons.

On the high divine throne, Yincha Demonic God was staring coldly at the group of demon kings below the steps, expression somber.

At this moment, she was completely different from her usual lazy and easygoing demeanor, the terrifying demonic might she emanated was suffocating, and demonic qi surged around her, as if ready to devour demons at any moment.

“Useless, a bunch of useless wretches!”

“Red Stone Demon King, Broken Horn Demon King, Dark Demon King, didn’t you three return to defend? Yet, you failed to seize the moment to capture Zhao Tingjian. It’s utterly incompetent!”

Her voice was cold, with anger repressed to the extreme.

If voices could kill, these demon kings below the throne would have died a thousand times by now.

The three demon kings withdrew from defense and returned to aid, though they fell for Wang Ying Xuan’s scheme; if they had pushed harder, eliminated Zhao Tingjian’s main forces, and then pushed aggressively to seize the human race’s East Line Defense Zone, they could have achieved a one-for-one situation, avoiding the current passive state.

Looking at the heap of useless subordinates below the steps, Yincha Demonic King became more and more infuriated, almost wishing to slap them dead.

Why is it that the human side has talents like Su Yun and Wang Ying Xuan emerging one after another, while on her side, there isn’t a single capable talent?

“Report to Demonic God Your Majesty.” Red Stone and the other two demon kings, drenched in their scolded state, dared not even raise their heads and had to lie on the ground to bitterly explain, “You already know how cunning Zhao Tingjian is, don’t you? As soon as we began our return defense, that old guy Zhao Tingjian detected us from afar, decisively withdrew, and by the time we returned to the castle, we found that the territories near Red Stone Demon King’s Castle had all been ravaged by him.”

“Even though we gathered our elite forces to attack Zhao Tingjian, he remained in defensive lines and didn’t come out, leaving us helpless against him in the short term.”

The three of them appeared to have done their best, yet secretly they were filled with resentment.

It’s you who ordered us to mobilize our forces, and then asked us to return to defense. At most, we were just a little slow in intercepting Zhao Tingjian; it’s not some huge mistake.

If it wasn’t for you, Demonic God, falling for the human race’s treacherous schemes, would it have come to this?

Fortunately, Yincha Demonic God didn’t know what they were thinking, or she would have been furious beyond belief.

After scolding the three of them, Yincha Demonic God turned her gaze to the other demon kings and roared, “Sky Demon King, Feather Repair Demon King, Evil Thunder Demon King, this Demonic God had already ordered you three to enter a state of readiness, ready to support Gluttonous Demon King and other demon kings at any time. Why, at the critical moment, did your reinforcements not appear promptly?! If the reinforcements had arrived in time, how could the Gluttonous and the other three Demon King’s castles have fallen?!”

These demon king castles were all located on the other side of the Gluttonous Demon King’s Castle, closer to the Demonic Clan’s hinterland. If they had swiftly moved to aid after receiving orders, how could the human race have succeeded so easily? At the very least, they could have expelled the human cultivators in time and reclaimed the Gluttonous Demon King’s Castle, preventing the current situation of falling into a passive position.

“Demonic God Your Majesty, we had already started the rescue operation upon receiving your army order, but we never expected the human race to be so swift…” Sky Demon King and the other two demon kings pleaded in unison, as if truly suffering a great injustice, “It’s all the fault of the cowardly, fearful Black Wing Demon King! If it hadn’t fled on the battlefield, and had endured a bit longer with Great Strength, we could have succeeded in our rescue.”

“Hehe~”

Yincha Demonic God let out a cold laugh.

Does it think it doesn’t know what these demon kings are up to? Their territories are close, and they’ve had plenty of friction over land, their relationships aren’t great in the first place. This time, they obviously didn’t want to be the forefront, deliberately delaying, hoping other demon kings would clash with the human race first, allowing them to reap the benefits and gain great merit. But unexpectedly, they miscalculated. By the time they sluggishly arrived at Gluttonous Demon King’s Castle, it had long been completely occupied by Princess Su Yun.

All demon king castles and strategic fortresses are established in vital, unassailable terrain; once Princess Su Yun’s forces occupy the fortress forming a Defensive Stance, and with the continuous support from the human race, it becomes extremely difficult to retake them.
