Chapter 278 Ian, why are you so cute?
Entering from the Gushu Wasger Fortress is the southern region of the demon clan. They have to sneak to the western region from here to the left. Gushu is actually the southwest of the Shen'en Continent, and it is also the south of the demon clan. In other words, they are at the two ends of this planet. Gushu is at the southernmost tip of the planet, and the east and west sides are blocked by the endless sea.
The demon clan's territory is very vast, which just meets the demon clan's extremely strong reproduction ability. However, the demon clan's eastern and northern regions have fallen, and the clan members have flocked to the western and southern regions, resulting in a situation where there is little land and many demons. Along the way, Ian and his friends have seen too many fights over food or resources. It can be said that "the people are living in misery."
The group hid near the former Meishan Mountain and found that a fortress as far as the eye could see had been built there. Huge armies were stationed on both sides. They could only sneak through Meishan Mountain to reach the border of the Western Region.
"What's going on? Such a long fortress was built between the Western Region and the Southern Region? Could it be that one of the two regions was also conquered by the ghost tribe?" the fat man asked doubtfully.
"Probably not yet. There are no signs of ghost invasions in the South Region just now and the West Region here."
"Are they still fighting among themselves?" Pei'er guessed, covering her mouth.
"It's very likely. Wars can be seen everywhere in the Southern Region. The two demon regions may invade each other."
Xinghun nodded, "I agree with Nana's point of view. The demon race has the habits of demon beasts. Even if there are foreign enemies invading, when their food and water are not enough, they will fight with each other, and even give up their original territory to find another environment."
Everyone observed as they walked, and one day later, they arrived at the largest city in the Western Regions - Lemoko City, and met the great demon king Charlotte with a human body and a snake tail.
in the hall.
Charlotte entertained them warmly and looked at Ian and the others excitedly and said:
"Brothers of the Characters, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, we would not be able to protect the Western Region!"
"Don't worry, Great Demon King. We are sent by Ancient Shu to help you resist the Shura Ghost Clan."
Charlotte stood up and said, "Great! When will the main group of people arrive? I can also make arrangements to receive them in advance."
"Just our 125-man Avengers team."
The Great Demon King shook his head and said puzzledly:
"No, you are here only to die. I admit that you have grown a lot, but trying to fight against the ghosts is like hitting a rock with an egg!"
Ian thought so too, but there was nothing he could do. Before coming, he asked Marshal Khan whether Gu Shu would send troops to support, and the answer he got was "It's not the time yet."
Ian's understanding is: if Ancient Shu wants to send a large force over, it must pass through the Southern Region, and it will encounter resistance from the Southern Region. Moreover, the current situation of the demon clan is still unknown. Even if they help with good intentions, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Therefore, as special forces, they must play an important role here.
Despite this, Ian still replied:
"Don't worry, Great Demon King. Tell us what the current situation is so that I can make a strategic plan."
"Oh! Forget it, just do your best and leave the rest to fate.
Not long ago, a large number of Shura ghosts suddenly appeared in the abyss of the Northern Territory. They were huge in number but had no entity. The demon clan did not have many effective means, and they fell in just one day. On the second day, the Demon King and all the big demon lords went out but could not stop them. More than a hundred demon lords were killed or injured, and the rest were controlled by the ghost clan. Even the Demon King's life or death was unknown. On the third day, the Eastern Territory fell even faster.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the old tree controlled the Yangtu Lingzhu to temporarily stop the invasion of the ghost tribe, allowing some people from the North and East regions to escape to the West and South regions. "
Ian asked, "What old tree is it?"
"The old tree is the patron saint of our demon race, and a tree that builds the heavens."
"So Jianshu really exists! By the way, why is there such a long fortress between you and the South Territory?"
Charlotte cursed:
"It's Lewis from the Southern Region. This guy didn't fight the Shura Ghost Clan but instead tried to attack me from behind. Originally, this fortress hadn't been completed yet. At that time, it was just to prevent them. But they didn't care about the Ghost Clan and wanted to annex my Western Region, so I had to hurry up and build the fortress."
"How much do you know about the combat power of the ghost tribe?"
“I don’t know much, but to be able to control a master at the level of a demon lord, the person from the ghost clan must be above the ninth level.”
Ian asked seriously, "Great Demon King, since we are here to help you, I have a question for you and you must answer it truthfully."
"Okay, just ask!"
Ian nodded, "What do you want to unify the demon tribe or resist the Shura ghost tribe the most right now?"
"Isn't it obvious? Both are what I want to do most."
Ian stared at Charlotte and said seriously:
"You can only choose one, what do you choose?"
Charlotte lowered her head and pondered for a long time. "We still have to resist the Shura Ghost Clan, but this is not something I can decide. Lewis is a lunatic, and I have to guard against him! And I really have no way to resist the ghost clan."
Ian actually asked this question to see what kind of character Charlotte had and whether it was worth his help in another way. If she just chose to unify the demon clan out of ambition like Lewis, then Ian would take his teammates and turn around to solve the ghost clan's problem by himself, and draw a clear line with Charlotte in the future.
Fortunately, Charlotte is not that kind of "demon". "Very good, Great Demon King, you are right. We can not only help you unify the demon tribe, but also help you resist the ghost tribe until they are driven out of this world, but you have to agree to a few of our conditions."
"Are you so confident?"
"Of course, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."
"Well, since we have come to this point, we have to give it a try even if we don't believe it. Tell me what you want!"
"First, I need a large amount of space spirit stones and spirit crystals."
Second, you must fully cooperate with my plan.
Third, after the Shura ghost clan is driven out, you must do your best to facilitate a non-aggression agreement between the demon clan and the human clan?
Fourth, you owe us the Avengers a favor!"
Charlotte listened carefully, nodding from time to time. After hearing these conditions, she was stunned for a moment, then said with a relaxed expression:
"Just these four requests?"
"Yes, these four."
Charlotte laughed and said:
"How difficult is this? I thought it was very difficult. What you are fighting for is just the first request. We have a lot of space spirit stones stored. We can even take you to the outer space channel when the time comes. There are more there. The output of spirit crystals in the demon domain is not low. The demons are not good at production, so it is difficult to refine. I will give you a few locations and you can go and get them yourself.
The second condition was proposed to help me, and it is my duty to fully cooperate with you.
The third condition is actually not a problem. We, the demon race, just want to return to our original world and have no conflict of interest with the characters.
The fourth condition is not really a condition. Since you have helped us so much, we definitely owe you a favor.
Hahaha, why do I suddenly find you so cute? Hahahaha——"
