Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

Chapter 167 The Demon Lord’s Past

Just like that, a normal meeting had quietly changed its nature. Time seemed to stretch out endlessly as they argued endlessly, expressing their opinions and completely oblivious to the passage of time.

The sunlight outside the window gradually set in the west until night enveloped the earth, but the group still could not reach a unanimous conclusion.

After a long and heated discussion, they gradually split into two distinct factions.

One side was resolute and advocated launching the first attack to deal a fatal blow to the enemy by surprise; while the other side firmly believed that the area where the demons lived was mountainous and the terrain was dangerous, so they should first maintain a solid defense, because compared with taking the initiative to attack, defense required relatively fewer resources.

The Demon Lord silently watched the scene before him, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that everyone's words made sense, but for a moment he was at a loss as to which strategy to adopt.

After all, the demons' current reserves of resources could only sustain them for six months. If they chose to attack, they would have to deploy a large number of troops, horses, and sturdy armor and other military supplies. If they decided to defend, sufficient thunderstones and rolling logs would be essential.

At this moment, the entire conference room was engulfed in a clamor. Everyone stared at the Demon Lord, awaiting his final decision. However, facing such a difficult situation, the Demon Lord felt the pressure on his shoulders grow heavier...

After some deep deliberation, the Demon Lord finally spoke slowly, "In that case, let's wait and see for now, waiting for news from the Demon Charm. Actually, I'm quite inclined to launch the offensive first. After all, the art of war lies in taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them when they're unprepared. Furthermore, according to the news the Demon Charm has relayed to us, the human race has already assembled a large force and is fully prepared. Even if we hold back, they'll undoubtedly launch an offensive and attack us."

Hearing the Demon Lord's words, the previously silent Demon Killer finally spoke: "Your Excellency is absolutely right. But right now, what exactly should we do?"

The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The most urgent task is to fully prepare all the resources needed for war. Whether it's extremely sharp weapons, indestructible armor, or well-trained soldiers, we must have everything, without fail. Only in this way can we ensure our army is invincible when the war begins."

After saying this, the Demon Lord waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse. "Alright, that's all for today. Once Mo Mei successfully obtains the human border defense map, we'll discuss the specific details of the attack."

"As you command!" All the demon generals stood up and responded to the Demon Lord's order in unison, then filed out and left one after another. However, among this group of demon generals, there was one who did not leave with the crowd. This person was the demon demon.

She walked gently to the side of the Demon Lord and said softly, "Brother, according to my calculations, the day of the Demon Lord's resurrection is probably not far away."

"That's right. It won't be long before the Demon Lord's sealed powerful will is fully revived. If we can't wipe out the human race during this period, then the Demon Lord's desire to break through this damn seal will become exponentially more difficult!"

"Looking back to the past, we demons lived well in the main world, but unfortunately, we encountered an accident and were forced to migrate here. When we first arrived, we were overjoyed to think that we had finally found a peaceful place. We never expected that the human race here would be so hostile to us and would provoke countless wars one after another." Having said this, the Demon Lord couldn't help but feel sad and sighed deeply, his heart full of bitterness and helplessness.

You know, since coming to this land, their ethnic group has basically never enjoyed a truly peaceful life.

"At this moment, the giant body of Lord Demon is still sleeping quietly here. However, with my keen perception, I can clearly feel that there is a tremendous force gradually gathering and condensing inside Lord Demon's body, as if making final preparations for the upcoming breaking of the seal." As the Demon Lord spoke, he subconsciously reached out and stroked his chest, as if this would allow him to be closer to the Demon and better sense the mysterious and powerful power fluctuations.

"Once the human race is destroyed, the seal of the small world that binds the Demon God will be lifted. At that time, the Demon God's unparalleled will will quickly return to his body like a weary bird returning to its nest. When that time comes, the Demon God, who once awed the world, will surely reappear in the world and lead our demon race to glory once again!"

"Thinking back to the past, the Flame Cloud God and the Yellow Spring God actually joined forces, cooperating with the Super Dragon God to launch an extremely fierce attack on our demon clan!"

"That thrilling battle was a nightmare, and it nearly wiped out our entire tribe!"

"If it weren't for the Demon Lord who risked his life to protect us with all his might, and if it weren't for the amazing method he used to create the Void Energy in the parallel channel, thus opening up a way out and safely escorting us here, I'm afraid those guys would never give up and would definitely chase us all the way here!"

When mentioning this past event, the Demon Lord's face was instantly covered with endless anger, and his eyes widened as if they were about to spit out fire.

Obviously, that tragic history was undoubtedly a painful memory that he could not bear to look back on, and it deeply hurt his heart.

In fact, the Demon King and the Demon Monster are in the same situation as the gods. They have both lived for a thousand years. The origin crystals in the bodies of the Demon Monster and the Demon King mean that they do not need to be suppressed like the gods. On the contrary, this power can allow them to survive for a thousand years.

"Brother, do you know that it is precisely because the Great Demon God bestowed upon us a portion of his Origin Crystal that we have been able to linger until now? However, the reason the other demon generals possess the formidable strength to rival the seven guardian gods of humanity is because they have absorbed the powerful force contained within the Great Demon God's body. Now that I think about it, if the Great Demon God were to awaken from his slumber one day and see what we are doing now, would he be dissatisfied?"

"After all, the powerful strength we possess all originates from the body of the Demon God! If the Lord successfully resurrects, and we arbitrarily absorb the tremendous power contained within his body without his permission, I wonder what he will say then!"

"Furthermore, once that crucial Origin Crystal leaves our bodies, only death awaits us." The demon said these words while frowning worriedly, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"Don't worry. The Demon God is incredibly wise, how could he not understand this? The source of his power comes from the unwavering faith of all of us demons."

"As long as our demon race remains in the world, its power will only continue to grow, becoming more and more powerful. At this moment, our top priority is to completely wipe out the human race and then reclaim those seven extremely precious Origin Crystals from their seven gods."

"When the time comes, when the Demon Lord returns, he will surely reach the pinnacle of strength and look down upon the world!"

The Demon Lord passionately expounded on his views and plans, but at this point, he couldn't help but sigh softly: "In this life-and-death battle, I don't know how many demonic people's lives will be lost... Alas!"

"This is a war of genocide, ah."
