Chapter 13982 The Kings
The Demon King spoke: "I have summoned you all here today because I wonder what brilliant strategies you have that will allow our Demon Sea to gain a foothold in this great town dynasty and further expand our power?"
The Roc Demon King stepped forward first. He was tall and burly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, humans are lowly, and compared to my demon and monster races, they are worlds apart. However, they are still somewhat useful."
We can enslave them, making them slaves of our demon race, serving our demon sea. This way, we can both demonstrate the majesty of our demon race and resolve some trivial matters.
The Elephant Demon King then said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, the situation is currently turbulent, with various forces stirring up trouble. Although our Demon Sea is powerful, we cannot afford to be complacent. We must strengthen our military forces to deal with any potential crises."
I suggest selecting talented young people from all over the country to form an elite army, while simultaneously increasing investment in the research and development of new weapons to enhance our combat capabilities. The human race possesses strong capabilities in this area; we can learn from their technology and use it for our own purposes.
The Bull Demon King was a burly man with two horns on his head, but a gentle smile graced his face. He took a step forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said:
"In my opinion, diplomacy is equally important. In this complex situation, we cannot rely solely on military conquest."
We can form alliances with other forces to create a community of shared interests, divide the enemy camp, and make them distrust and restrain each other.
At the same time, we should send eloquent lobbyists to infiltrate the enemy ranks, using persuasive words and tactics to undermine their unity and throw them into disarray. In this way, we can gain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.
The Peacock King, with his elegant posture and magnificent plumage, narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"The cultivation methods of the human race are quite unique, and very different from those of our demon race. We can capture more human cultivators and conduct in-depth research on them."
On the one hand, by studying their cultivation methods, we can find their weaknesses, so that in future battles we can be more targeted and easily deal with their counterattacks, preventing the human race from retaliating against us in the future.
On the other hand, the knowledge accumulated by humanity over countless years is like a vast treasure trove. We can extract its essence and discard its dross, using their knowledge to arm ourselves and enhance the strength of our demonic sea.
The Flower Venerable was a graceful woman; she moved with light, lotus-like steps, her voice soft yet resolute.
"Humans are indeed an interesting race. They have inherited a lot of knowledge that is unrelated to cultivation but is extremely practical."
For example, knowledge about architecture, medicine, and agriculture, if it could be put to use by our people, would surely allow our Demon Sea to achieve great development in various fields, thereby making our people strong and prosperous.
We cannot only focus on their cultivation resources; we must also see their potential value.
The Demon King listened quietly to everyone's remarks, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if concealing endless schemes.
After everyone finished speaking, he slowly stood up, his voice deep and powerful: "What you all said is very good, and your suggestions are all very insightful."
However, I only want to warn you of one thing: humans are cunning and treacherous, so do not easily believe their words.
Our victory today is due to our superior strength and the result of our brothers' bloody battles and selfless sacrifices.
Going forward, we must continue to rely on our strength. We must not lower our guard because of the sweet talk or small favors of the humans, and we must not let the humans damage our relationships or undermine the unity within our Demon Sea!
Upon hearing this, the Peng Demon King nodded vigorously, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes: "Your Majesty is absolutely right!"
Some demons, utterly ungrateful, have shown sympathy for humans and even attacked our brothers. They are utterly treacherous and deserve to die! Such traitors must not be tolerated!
Just as everyone was deep in discussion and the atmosphere was lively, a guard wearing heavy black iron armor suddenly burst into the hall.
His steps were hurried, each one causing the ground to tremble slightly, as if carrying a tremendous force.
He ran all the way to the Sixth Prince, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a salute, and his voice carried a hint of barely concealed nervousness:
"Reporting to all the kings, the Demon King said before he left that there is some movement on the Tianyuan Dynasty's side, and it seems that some major conspiracy is brewing."
She realized the matter was of utmost importance and went to handle it personally. However, the Demon King also warned her that if she couldn't handle it, she would become a formidable enemy of the Demon Sea, and they must be extremely careful!
The six princes were sitting together, peacefully sipping fragrant tea and talking in hushed tones.
However, when the guards brought news of unusual activity in the Tianyuan Dynasty, their expressions instantly darkened, as if shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.
The teacup in their hands trembled slightly involuntarily, and the tea rippled in the cup, but no one paid any attention to it.
The Demon King frowned, his forehead furrowed into a deep "川" shape, and his eyes were full of worry and solemnity.
He slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the hall, his voice low and heavy:
"We never expected that such a huge hidden danger would emerge just when we thought the overall situation was settled and we were about to enjoy the fruits of victory."
The Tianyuan Dynasty is no weak and easily bullied dynasty like the Great Town Dynasties; its strength is terrifying. They have a deep foundation and countless experts. If they truly have designs on our Demon Sea, we will likely be plunged into a fierce battle…”
Upon hearing this, the other kings' expressions grew even more solemn.
They clenched their fists, their knuckles turning white from the force, as if they were trying to concentrate all their strength into their hands.
A suffocating atmosphere hung in the air, like the calm before a storm, making it hard to breathe.
……
In a dense, mysterious forest where the sky is blocked out and vines intertwine, sunlight struggles to filter through layers of branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows.
Like a nimble little deer, Shangguan Yue tugged at Ling Xiao's belt and walked briskly along the rugged path.
A sly smile always graced her lips, a smile as bright as a flower blooming in spring, tinged with playfulness and smugness. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she would occasionally hum a few off-key tunes, the cheerful melody echoing through the silent forest.
"Hmph, you shameless martial artist dared to ambush me! This time I'll squeeze every last bit of treasure out of you! I want to see just how many good things you've been hiding."
Shangguan Yue secretly plotted in her mind, and increased the force of her dragging, as if Ling Xiao was a precious trophy that she wanted to take into her possession as soon as possible.
