Chapter 236 The Devil's Plan

The tent became quiet.

This question is the most important key now.

Ferbella is not qualified enough to make a direct decision, and Genos and Saint Jevonne are not from the Kendenia Empire so they cannot make a decision on their own.

And Angele is the only one who can take charge. Whether to fight or retreat depends on the decision of this "Sword of the Empire".

"Give me some time to think about it, and I'll tell you the results tomorrow morning," Angele said.

Even Angele didn't have the courage to make such a decision instantly. He needed time to think and consult the person he regarded as his 'ace'.

The deepest part of the Lanlu Plain is where the most terrible war between the two countries once broke out. It was after that war that the undead gradually appeared on the Lanlu Plain. Even though several years have passed, this land still retains a thick atmosphere of death and a chilling sense of desolation and despair.

Even if ordinary humans have not encountered the undead, they cannot go to such a place, because the aura here is too strong, enough to affect a person's spirit. Not everyone can bear the heaviness of the battlefield.

The undead are wandering here. They have no consciousness of their own and are just instinctively unwilling to leave.

However, not long ago, two outsiders took over this place.

These two outsiders were too powerful. Several powerful undead beings with independent consciousness had fought against one of them, but were easily killed by the four-eyed demon.

As for the Bone Dragon Knight, who seemed the most dangerous, he had never made a move.

"Great Lord Gaia, why did you let those humans leave? I wonder if you can explain this to your foolish subordinates."

Ergal half-knelt on the ground, with his head deeply buried. Ergal was famous for his "wisdom" in the demon world, and he was summoned into Barbatos' team to shoulder a position similar to that of a "military advisor". He thought that his wisdom had reached the pinnacle and he could see through everything at any time. It was not until he met this adult that he realized that he was still far behind a true wise man.

In front of him, the huge bone dragon was lying on the ground with empty eyes, as if it had entered hibernation. The headless knight Gaia was sitting cross-legged on the back of the bone dragon, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

After learning about Gaia's plan, Ergal contributed dozens of proposals, but they were all rejected.

Ergal was very puzzled. Logically speaking, to carry out such a huge plan, they should not let those humans go. It would be very troublesome to collect such good materials later.

The Headless Horseman did not speak, or rather he was too lazy to answer Urgal's question and remained silent.

Ergal did not care about the Dullahan's contempt. He thought that this must be a test from this lord. If he couldn't even figure out such a small problem, he would probably not be qualified to follow him in the future.

What was missing? Why were those humans let go?

Ergal pondered over it, and he always felt that the strategy he proposed was perfect and without any loopholes.

Finally, an idea flashed in Ergal's mind, and the demon's body trembled violently.

"I see! So that's how it is! You actually planned this! I understand, Lord Gaia, please let your subordinates follow you. In order to witness the arrival of that moment, I am so excited that even my soul is trembling."

"Back off." The Headless Knight said without any emotion.

This little devil is so annoying. He says some incomprehensible words every day and is as annoying as a fly. If it weren't for the master's order, Gaia would have stabbed him to death with the Dragon Slayer.

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Ergal didn't dare to disturb the Nether Bone Dragon Knight. Such a terrible plan must be carried out after the most careful calculation. Perhaps this lord is now considering his next move, and he must not disturb his thoughts.

Being able to be a chess piece by this lord's side, Ergar had never felt so happy. He stayed away from the Nether Bone Dragon Knight and took out some materials from his body.

A monster hide that smelled bloody, two dark magic gems, a withered bone, five bottles of dark blue potions, a broken silver branch and an egg.

"This is all I can do. Even if it costs my life, I will create a complete demon summoning array this time to help this lord. No, to prove that I am a useful chess piece!"

Ergal excitedly fiddled with the pile of magical materials. His hands were swift and skillful. He divided the materials into several parts according to certain categories and combined them into small magic circles of unknown meaning. Circles of light patterns bloomed from the magic circles, flickering.

"No, it's not enough! It seems some sacrifices and resentment are needed." Ergal murmured.

Resentment is easy to collect. You can extract enough resentment by just catching some undead from this plain.

The sacrifices are a bit troublesome, as you can’t find fresh sacrifices in such a lifeless place.

"It seems that I have to make another trip." Ergal said to himself.

There is a lack of living creatures in the Lanlu Plain, but there is no shortage of them in the cities at both ends of Lanlu. It is quite easy to capture a group of living people for blood sacrifice, which can also help that adult to advance his plan.

Thinking of this, Ergal no longer hesitated, flew into the sky, and turned into a large black cloud.

"Let's try a different city this time."

The black cloud transformed by the demon Ergal flew towards the city of Kushiwa of the Kendeniya Empire.

After dark, despite being physically exhausted from the long journey, Angele used the message magic left by Luo Qiu to contact him. After learning of Luo Qiu's location, he rushed over without stopping.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

There was a rapid knock on the door.

Luo Qiu said lazily: "Come in, the door is not locked."

He already knew who was coming from the door, and Meng Li also determined who the person was from the aura emitted by the person outside the door.

"Lord Luo Qiu." As soon as Angele entered the room and was about to get straight to the point, he was interrupted by Luo Qiu.

"Stop! Stop!"

Luo Qiu pointed to a chair nearby and said, "Sit down first. I think what you want to say cannot be made clear in just one or two sentences."

Angele sat down, but before he could speak, Luo Qiu spoke first.

"First of all, I was not at home when Gaia, the Nether Bone Dragon Knight, came. Meng Li and I went treasure hunting in the quagmire swamp, so I can only say sorry for the disaster in the City Lord's Mansion."

"I see." Angele looked relieved.

His worst fear did not come true.

Originally, Angele was worried that Luo Qiu had backed down after seeing the power of the Nether Bone Dragon Knight. It turned out that there was some reason behind it.
