227. Next work

The news that the Wolf of Disaster was soon passed back to the Demon King City through the mouth of service. The death of the second prince undoubtedly cast a haze on this news that should have been joyful.

Moreover, he was not the only one who was killed. Later, the devils joined forces with the dragon clan to eliminate vampires and dark elves were reported one after another. Everyone always felt that His Royal Highness would inevitably be furious this time, but the raging waves that should come in everyone's impression stopped before the tumbling.

It is reported that when the Demon King heard the death of his son Leonard, he had only said "Oh, is it?". Of course, the Demon King had not appeared in public for a long time, so the authenticity of the rumor remains to be verified. But one thing is true. The Demon King rewarded those who made great contributions in the battle, and a surprising name appeared on this list.

"Is Lancelot Igusas, the youngest son of Reelton?" In the room where the Demon King lived, a majestic and cold voice came from behind the chair with its back facing the brazier. The Demon King's thin knuckles gently hit the armrest: a crisp sound was made in the silent room.

The brazier swayed, making a sound of Bibo, pulling the shadow of the person standing in the corner of the room into a slender shape.

"It's not bad, a young man with ambition and scheming, but don't worry, Relton is always on my side, and I understand his thoughts." The Demon King said as if he had thought for a moment, "Then just call him his wishes and give his son a little reward. Just hold a position in the military headquarters. Anyway, there are many seats available this time, right?"

"I understand." Poperas, who was in charge of the military affairs of the Demon King City, nodded.

Selling Reelton's favor is not a big deal, or if he defeated Fenriu this time, the boy named Lancelot did make any effort. It is said that Fenriu was shot by his subordinates with demon-sealing arrows, and such merits could not be eliminated. However, the chaos created by the other party cannot be underestimated.

All kinds of information have proved that this kid is related to the Dragon Clan. Now the Dragon Clan's revenge on the assassination of the Red Dragon Queen has finally begun, and the demon is also a participant.

"About this matter, it's like we've agreed to stay out of the matter before." said the Demon King.

"But in this case, vampires and dark elves may not be able to bear it, right?"

"You underestimate them too much," the Demon King smiled coldly: "These two tribes have long been restless. The kingdom has been established to this day, and their strength has also steadily increased. The days of being too stable make them ready to move in the dark. Isn't Leonard a good example?"

"The second prince's affairs..."

"Let them make trouble for the moment." The Demon King's answer was unexpected. "Since I can't count on them, I will let them suffer. I will inform the Demon that Relton asked him to stop. As for the Dragon Clan, it just happened to let Teresia teach them a lesson so that he would not cause trouble for us."

After hearing the devil's orders, Poperas closed his mouth. He knew very well that the devil could make the decision here, and only the devil's only. However, he was still a little surprised. Although he heard that he was becoming more and more indifferent to others, he had become indifferent to the affairs of the kingdom in recent years, and only focused on the power that made him fascinated with and unfinished career. But he did not expect that he had reached this level.

When the news came back, it was not someone else who died, but his son. I still remember when the eldest prince died. The Demon King was extremely angry and even depressed for a long time. But now, his response only seemed to be hearing something that was indifferent to him. But even the old minister was not something that Poperas could interrupt. He chose to remain silent tactfully and began to think about the profound meaning behind the Demon King's resolution.

Suddenly, I heard His Highness say again: "We have something we need to pay attention to, don't deviate from the direction, Valende, let the rest be left to you."

"Yes." The undead leader who had been silent and stood aside replied.

To be honest, for Lance, this result was not satisfying him.

Although the Demon King granted him his post in the military headquarters and gave him the title of Viscount, these things were all empty and did not really give the territory that Lance wanted. However, according to the Demon King's intention, it was closer to the future that Reelton had imagined for him, and mixed in the Demon King's city and occupied a place.

By the way, according to the agreement, Teresia from the Dragon Castle also released Jill and his party who had been under house arrest, claiming that they found them shortly after the assassination.

Lance was not afraid that they would reveal the facts. At this point, Lance was fully prepared. Even if Jill and Relton told them all, it would have been useless. After this battle, Lance had already escaped the impression of the slug among the demons. Of course, he did not show any performance, which would make him seem very scheming and kept a low profile and planned something behind his back.

He was very clever and did not directly participate in the dispute against Fenriu and even later with vampires and dark elves, but his shadow was everywhere in this remarkable merit. The one who used the demon-sealing arrow to kill the Wolf of Disaster was Lance's guard, and asked whether the dragon clan would come to seal the demon-sealing arrows and to reach a covenant with them to fight against the enemy together.

Even if he didn't say it, there were still people among the demons who felt that the Third Young Master, who had always been looked down upon, seemed to be an amazing person, especially when he became serious.

Yes, I have to say that the timing was too coincidental.

The time for Lance to take charge of the army this time was the devil's defeat and Lord Relton was seriously injured. This failure undoubtedly gave the devil great humiliation and losses. In this sensitive period, the third young master, who had always been playing the ignorant, stood up and took on the burden of the old lord. The most important thing was that he washed away the shame and won the victory. It is not necessary to say more about how great this subtle influence is.

Then at this time Jill told Lord Relton about Lance's secret plan and imprisonment, and the old lord would only keep it secret. In fact, the situation may be the opposite, because although Relton Igusas pampers his son, he still advocates the orthodox demon who respects the strong.

Jill's chewing skills will not only not shake Lance's status, but will instead make Relton feel that this young son is more and more worthy of anticipation, and will also lower Jill's evaluation in his heart. In fact, no matter how many tricks Lance did in this incident, the betrayal of the vampire lord Famir and the dark elf Zulfania was seen with his own eyes. Jill's half of the vampire bloodline has pushed him to the opposite of the demon.

The result of the matter was similar to what Lance expected. After seeing his father, Jill just reported to the chief like a serious subordinate officer. However, he skipped all the matters involving Lance imprisonment. After this matter was said, Jill immediately resigned to Lord Reilton and asked to return to the vampire territory.

Old Relton sighed at the handsome second son in front of him. Although Lance was a human being, the second child was the one who looked the most unlike him, and he didn't plan to keep Jill because he knew that Jill was thinking about it now and was all his mother and the vampire Waitswin family.

The old lord nodded: "You go and bring the message back by the way. Our demon clan will temporarily stop the pursuit of vampires and let them deal with the dragon clan with peace of mind. However, if they want to ask me for an explanation, they are welcome at any time."

To put it bluntly, it actually means that it is to put the position on the table and draw a clear line.

With Jill's mind, he immediately heard the meaning of this. He saluted respectfully, but his face was not shaken: "Then please take care of yourself, father."

The old lord did not speak anymore, but waved his hand casually.

Jill no longer stayed on the demon's territory. Although this was the Demon King City, the area affiliated to the eastern suburbs of the city was occupied by the demon army. He turned around and walked straight away, instead glanced at Lance who was standing aside, and soon withdrew his gaze and disappeared behind the door in an instant.

Lance is naturally here to prevent Jill from saying some unnecessary things, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

As the saying goes, a wise man will make mistakes. Lance tried hard and did not receive the reward he expected. This disappointed him, and he had to plan for the next situation.

He couldn't stay in Demon King City for a moment. He went to his posts and titles of the Ministry of War. These things were useful to others, but for him, Lance, it was just a piece of waste paper. The only benefit was that his fiefs in Gululing and other places became more legitimate. And according to the kingdom's post, he could command more than 10,000 permanent troops of the king **.

But if you think about it carefully, these are still useless things. Although the army is good, he can only stay in the Demon King City to fulfill it. But what is the use of such an army that is completely loyal to the kingdom rather than his own? It is better to retreat quickly and return to his own Gulu Ridge.

What's more, in this incident, he has clearly stood on the opposite side of the Third Highness and the Dark Elves and Vampires. No matter which aspect he considers, it is better to get out as soon as possible. Go back and think about how to use the reputation he just created to win more supporters and benefits for himself.

Maybe it's time to change your image and future development strategies. Lance thought that if the decline and overturn of the kingdom are inevitable, then when the troubled times come, he must make some preparations as soon as possible.

So this trip came to stop Jill from saying something unfavorable to him, and at the same time he also came to resign from his father, but unexpectedly, someone took the lead.

"By the way, Lance, this time the Demon King ordered all races to go to the territory to fight against the devil who caused disaster. The opportunity is rare, so you can go and experience it well." (To be continued...)
