“General, bad news!”

The two monkey-like demons ran to Spirit Child in a panic.

Spirit Child looked up at them unhappily. “Why are you so flustered? Didn’t we give them a lot of benefits? If it doesn’t work, just agree to more. Can they refuse?”

Spirit Child thought that victory was in his grasp. At the very least, it would not be difficult for him to take down those people.

The conditions he offered were too generous. The demons under the river did not have the ability to resist such temptation at all. Giving them such conditions was already a great gift. Could they refuse?

This time, it was mainly because he did not want to delay the overall marching speed, so he offered a very high price without hesitation.

The two monkeys replied very aggrievedly, “General, you don’t know! The Green Dragon inside is extremely arrogant. The two of us had just arrived in front of his dragon palace and had yet to speak when we were sent out to be beaten up. If not for the fact that the two of us were agile and hurriedly came out from below, we would have been captured alive by them.”

“What? That Green Dragon dares to be so arrogant?”

“General, everything I said is true. The two of us were very polite when we arrived, but they didn’t give us any chance to speak at all. They attacked us immediately. We wanted to tell them your conditions, but they didn’t give us any chance.”

Spirit Child frowned slightly. He did not treat the Green Dragon as a threat at all. This Green Dragon could be dismissed easily. It was just a small obstacle. The most important thing was whether there was a guardian in the human city behind.

However, he did not expect to encounter a setback at the first step. The Green Dragon was nothing to worry about. He was very arrogant now because it relied on the natural barrier. If he really fell out with him, it would probably be a huge problem and would definitely be a huge obstacle to his advancement.

“Did they say why?”

“General, they didn’t say a word and beat us up. We tried to persuade them nicely, but it was useless. They wouldn’t listen no matter what.”

“Why would this happen?”

Spirit Child had a headache now. The plan had gone very smoothly. The army was already ready to set off for Sea City. He could report back after taking down Sea City in the shortest time, but he did not expect to be stuck here every day. What was the reason?

“Forget it, let me make a trip personally. I’ll go and meet this Green Dragon and see what confidence he has.”

Spirit Child waved his sleeve and disappeared from the tent. After a while, he appeared in front of the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the river with his two subordinates.

“Ah, eat my fork!”

Just as the three of them appeared, a small shrimp soldier that was no taller than a calf suddenly jumped out from a crack in the rocks at the side. This little thing’s legs suddenly jumped, and its four legs held a small fork tightly. It looked quite imposing, but it was not terrifying at all.

The guard beside the Spirit Child widened his eyes in anger. His aura instantly spread out, almost scaring the guts out of this little shrimp soldier.

“You’re courting death!”

He reached out and grabbed the little shrimp soldier. He was about to cut this little thing in half. However, he was stopped by the Spirit Child.

“Forget it, don’t argue with it. Let it go back.”

The little shrimp curled up and fell into the mud, looking up at these immortal-like figures.

“Go back and tell your lord that Spirit Child wants to see him.”

The little shrimp scrambled into the Dragon Palace. Not long after, a strong airflow swept over and whistled at the three of them for a while, as if it wanted to blow them away. However, this bit of power could not even break through the Spirit Child’s shield.

After the water swept over, a tall man covered in green fish scales appeared in front of Spirit Child. This man had a fierce expression and held a trident in his hand as he stared fiercely at the three of them.

“Good lord, you still dare to come here. I’ll say this, as long as I, Green Dragon, am alive, you can forget about passing through here!”

Spirit Child frowned slightly and looked at the Green Dragon. “My subordinates haven’t told you about my conditions, right? You didn’t even listen to them. Why did you…”

“Cut the crap. I’m not in the mood to negotiate with you. After you vicious people take down Sea City, you’ll be taking me down next. Stop dreaming. You won’t be able to get past this in your lifetime!”

Green Dragon spoke very arrogantly. He acutely maintained a certain distance from Spirit Child because he could sense that this person was extremely powerful. Even though it was just a simple feeling, he could feel a powerful threat from this fellow.

Spirit Child shook his head and finally looked at him to confirm. “Is there really no room for discussion?”

“Cut the crap. Stop pretending to be a big bad wolf. I know your style better than anyone. Those two brothers of yours almost smashed my Dragon Palace just now. You still want us to cooperate with you? Dream on!”

After saying that, the Green Dragon suddenly rolled back and entered the Dragon Palace with a wave.

A huge green dragon phantom appeared on the Dragon Palace. Under the enhancement of the array formation below, this green dragon gradually became corporeal and was filled with power. It looked at the three of them covetously.

Spirit Child was not afraid at all in front of such a powerful illusion. Instead, he looked straight at the fellow and asked.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I didn’t send anyone over before this. What do you mean by those two people?”

The Green Dragon burst into strong laughter. “Come on, stop pretending with me. You’re all in cahoots. You can’t take me down with brute force, so you want to negotiate and take the opportunity to kill me after the negotiation is over. This is your plan. I know it too well. Don’t think I’ll be fooled again!”

Spirit Child’s eyes gradually turned cold. “I’ve already given you a chance. Are you going to let me pass or not?”

“Hahaha!” The Green Dragon laughed even more fearlessly as if he had heard a huge joke. “You’re the one begging me now. Why does it sound like you’re going to kill me if I don’t let you go? If you have the ability, feel free to do it. If I die in your hands, I’ll accept it!”

“Are you really unwilling?”

“Cut the crap!”

The Green Dragon suddenly opened his mouth, and a water pillar hundreds of feet thick gradually formed in his mouth. Without hesitation, he shot towards the three of them.

An hour later, Spirit Child pinched the Green Dragon’s bloodstained head and pulled out a green soul.

“I was wrong. Let me live!”

The little green dragon knelt in the palm of Spirit Child and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, trying to seek a chance of survival.

However, the Spirit Child’s gaze was extremely cold. He gently clenched his palm and slowly seeped his spiritual energy and divine sense into this small soul.

Not long after, Spirit Child suddenly clenched his fist, and the small soul directly turned into ashes, leaving nothing behind.

“Good lord, it’s indeed the two of you!”

He looked coldly in the direction of Sea City, his expression even uglier.

“General, what happened?”

“Red Wave and Gray Mountain,” Spirit Child said coldly. “They’re really willing to do anything to snatch this credit. The two of them have already arrived at Sea City. With their strength, I’m afraid they’ve already taken down Sea City.”

“Then what about us, General?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Spirit Child sneered. “So what if the two of them take down Sea City? In the end, it’s all my credit. Let’s see what they can get after spending so much effort!”

“Pass down the order, the entire army will cross the river immediately!”

“Yes.”

The mighty demon beast army rushed over at an extremely fast speed from a pontoon bridge above the river. After they arrived on land, they immediately attacked the human fortress.

The demon beasts that were originally guarding the fortress prepared by the humans were already exhausted, but now, they have increased by more than ten times.

Initially, they thought that the demon beasts were planning to retreat during the quiet period just now. However, they did not expect that it was only the beginning of their next wave of attack. Now, the even more ferocious attack was attacking this fortress heavily.

“General, it’s bad. There are ten times as many demons this time. Our city walls can’t hold anymore. General, we’re retreating!”

“No, we can’t retreat no matter what. What will happen to the rear if we retreat?”

“But if we don’t retreat now, we’ll be completely wiped out by them. They’re coming aggressively and killing people like flies. More than half of our brothers have already died. If we don’t leave now, we won’t have a chance!”

The general’s face was covered in blood. It was the blood of his brothers. The general guarding the fortress was also injured. After enduring the first wave of impact, he temporarily retreated and barely survived.

However, the impact of the demon beasts was too ferocious. Even though Spirit Child and the others were guarding the back and did not attack, they were secretly planning. Even so, the impact was far from what they could withstand.

Spirit Child looked coldly at the clansmen who were slaughtering wantonly below.

“How can it be so long? We can’t delay any longer if we take down this fortress in half an hour.”

“Yes, General!”

A horn sounded. The human generals who were discussing in the fortress felt strange when they heard the horn of the demons outside. However, they did not expect this to be their death signal.

Sea City.

“City Lord, the fortress ahead can’t hold on anymore. The demons are about to reach Sea City. City Lord, please make a decision early!”

Ye Qiluo had already put on her armor and led the many generals of Sea City to gather in the meeting hall.

“How many demons are there?”

“There are tens of thousands of them.”

“How strong are the leaders?”

“Most of them are above the Formation Arrangement Realm.”

When the sentry who came back to report said these words, his voice was trembling. There was not even a single Formation Arrangement Realm expert in their entire Sea City. However, those demons were all leaders of the Formation Arrangement Realm. How could they resist?

Everyone present fell silent. They could have relied on the fortress to hold on, but how were they going to resist these powerful demons after the fortress was shattered? How were they going to do it?

“City Lord, now is not the time to hesitate. We have to take the initiative to attack and resist them outside the city. Otherwise, we will be too passive if they attack.”

“That’s right. City Lord, please give the order as soon as possible and let us bring the soldiers to kill our way out and fight them to the death. With the powerful power of the Great City Protection Formation and the soldiers’ bloody battle, I think we will definitely be able to resist them! We will protect the city!”

Ye Qiluo raised her hand and temporarily suppressed everyone’s excitement.

They were so proactive at a time like this, but no one knew what they meant.

“Everyone, there’s no need to say anything else. The demon army is already imminent. We have to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible. However, it’s definitely not to kill our way out of the city. We have to defend here and rely on the powerful city protection array, we can still deal with them that way. If we rush out, I’m afraid we’ll only die.”

After Ye Qiluo finished speaking, the generals below had different expressions. They all had their own thoughts.

“But City Lord, if we only rely on the Great City Protection Formation, what should we do if this formation is broken by those demons?”

“That’s right. Although the State Preceptor is powerful and the city protection city is unbreakable, the current situation is extraordinary. Shouldn’t we take the initiative and not sit here and wait for death?”

Many of them still advocated killing their way out of here. Only by taking the initiative could they keep their lives. However, Ye Qiluo’s insistence on guarding the city made them a little anxious.

“For the safety of the entire Sea City, I must lead my subordinates to kill our way out. We can’t wait here for those demons to slaughter our clansmen.”

“I want to go out too!”

They were all shouting indignantly, as if they wanted to stand up and stop the demons outside Sea City.

The entire meeting hall was in chaos. There were even many people who had taken action without permission.
