Has the fun really begun
The answer is - no!
Shi Xiaobai was angry, and finally stopped giving in and forbearing, and even cursed "forbearance is a stick". Of course, he should mobilize the demon soldiers and use force and killing to clear out the supernatural and divine soldiers who had invaded the fourth line of defense. To be clean, even if it leads to bloodshed and destruction of life, we will not hesitate to do so.
At that time, the war will enter the most tragic situation, with a melee in the three realms and countless casualties. It will be a tiring and painful fight for the authorities, but it will be an extremely exciting show for bystanders.
But the story did not play out as the shadow in the corner expected.
Shi Xiaobai, who was almost out of anger, had calmed down when he walked out of the palace, as if he could freely control his emotions, and his anger disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Xiaobai issued an order to the generals of the Demon Realm. The content of the order made the shadow laugh in laughter - defend the fourth line of defense with all your strength, stop everyone who tries to break through, try to capture them alive, don't take the initiative to attack, just hold on.
The Demon Realm general was stunned when he heard such an order and didn't know how to react.
The shadow in the corner was dumbfounded for a moment.
Everyone else is attacking your home, but you still hold on to it
How cowardly is this
Others almost destroyed your home, at least the yard was smashed, and you still try to capture them alive
How stupid is this
The demon general mustered up the courage to confirm with Shi Xiaobai whether he heard the order correctly, but received a negative answer from Shi Xiaobai and repeated emphasis.
Try to catch them alive!
Just keep it!
This was Shi Xiaobai's response to the humiliating situation where the enemy was advancing even further and was about to hit his home.
If it weren't for the Demon King's supreme status and admiration in the Demon Realm, Shi Xiaobai would have been scolded as a pig head at this moment. He was probably the most cowardly Demon King in history, and he might even have no successor.
However, the decisions and actions of the current Demon King since taking office have been extremely correct and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Unlike the awkward round table council system of the God Realm, the Demon Realm implements an autocratic monarchy. Therefore, the soldiers of the Demon Realm can only obey the Demon King's decision, and at most they can secretly complain. A few words.
Therefore, a situation that neither the God Realm nor the extraordinary tribe had expected occurred. Even though they were about to invade the hinterland of the Demon Realm, and even though they were so aggressive and aggressive, the Demon Realm still did not send troops to attack. It just stood at the last pass of the fourth line of defense, as if An icy mountain.
When someone slaps you and you don't fight back hard, you just cover your face and pretend nothing happened. Such defense is hard not to be considered a coward's behavior.
Therefore, the demon king that Shi Xiaobai served as has now become "the most cowardly demon king in the history" in the words of the soldiers of the supernatural tribe and the divine domain.
They have no way to launch a fierce attack on the Demon Realm soldiers who are cowardly and unable to come out, because there are too few flaws in the defense without attacking, not to mention facing the threat of another army. It is too risky to forcefully attack the Demon Realm, so they spray wildly into As their last means of attack, ridicule and verbal humiliation of the devil one after another on the fourth line of defense.
The soldiers in the Demon Realm almost lost their minds in anger, but good military discipline and trust in the Demon King allowed them to endure such taunting bombings.
But the trust in the Demon King is not eternal. When the grievances accumulate to a certain extent, trust and loyalty will also collapse.
And collapse is just a matter of time.
... ... .
The Demon Realm, the Demon King’s palace.
"The most cowardly devil in history."
The Demon Queen clicked her tongue and said, "Husband, how can you remain indifferent to this title?"
Shi Xiaobai looked down at the chessboard on the table without raising his head and said, "It doesn't matter."
The Queen smiled slightly and said: "My husband is really open-minded, but I am a little confused. My husband didn't look angry at that time, so he didn't look like he was pretending. Why did he calm down as soon as he walked out of the door and made such a rational decision?" ?”
"Because I cannot be angry."
Shi Xiaobai raised his head slightly and said, "I don't know why, but my intuition tells me that if I continue to be angry, something bad will happen. And why should I be angry?"
The Demon Queen raised her brows slightly and said: "The gods and the extraordinary tribe ignored my husband's tolerance and pushed even further, forcing them step by step. They almost came home. Shouldn't my husband feel angry?"
Shi Xiaobai nodded and said: "I should be angry, and I am indeed angry. But when I think about it, isn't that why they are irritating me? Then isn't my anger playing into their own hands? On the contrary, if I If Wang calms down and makes the most rational judgment, will they feel uncomfortable?"
The Queen smiled slightly and said: "Very clever reverse thinking, but... this is not like my husband's style."
Shi Xiaobai raised his head and smiled thoughtfully: "It seems you know me very well?"
The Queen smiled calmly and said: "Of course, we are already an old married couple, how could we not understand?"
Shi Xiaobai smiled and did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he sighed lightly and said: "It is indeed not like my style. If it were written according to the established script, I should be furious and call on the whole army to fight. All the soldiers from the God's Domain and the Extraordinary Race must be driven out of the Demon's Domain, and then we will fight a beautiful victory to let those bastards who push for their own advantage understand that I am not a tortoise who can be slaughtered at will."
"To be honest, I really want to do this, but I can't."
The Queen asked: "Why can't you do this?"
Shi Xiaobai said solemnly: "Because doing this is equivalent to pouring more gasoline on the raging flames of war. If the Demon Realm joins the war aggressively, there will be only three results: a disastrous defeat, a disastrous victory, and a disastrous defeat that has to be negotiated, regardless of It would be miserable no matter what. But if the current situation is maintained, it is completely different. The gods and the supernatural race are restraining each other and do not dare to attack the demon domain with all their strength. While the demon domain sleeps peacefully beside them, the gods and the supernatural race do not dare to attack each other with all their strength. All three parties are blocked. Forced to stay behind, over time, the blade of war will be blunted, the soldiers' fighting spirit will be blunted, fewer soldiers will die in the war, and the bitter fruits that the three parties have tasted due to the war may no longer be so bitter."
Hearing this, the Demon Queen was silent for a moment and said softly: "In the final analysis, my husband still chose mercy."
Shi Xiaobai smiled, "If kindness can save countless lives, why would I choose anger and killing?"
The Demon Queen looked at Shi Xiaobai seriously and said softly: "I went to apologize to the families of the three succubus palace maids that afternoon. My husband should understand one thing. For the people of the Demon Realm, it is an honor to sacrifice for the Demon King. death, they are willing to die for their husbands.”
Shi Xiaobai nodded and said: "I know, but what I want to save is not just the soldiers of the demon clan. I am also kind to the soldiers of the gods and the extraordinary clan. I have always believed that war is the most damning thing. They are not soldiers who kill enemies ferociously, but the culprits who start the war, the rulers who hide behind and direct thousands of lives to their deaths. There is nothing wrong with the soldiers of the gods and the supernatural tribe. They have relatives just like the soldiers of the demon tribe. , they have families, and they should not be buried here. I cannot end the war immediately, but I can minimize their deaths."
The Queen lowered her head slightly and said: "Being able to transform anger into forgiveness and kindness in such a short period of time, my husband's mind is really admirable and admired by me. But husband, don't forget two points. First, the blade of war is not sharpened. It does not mean that the number of deaths will decrease, because the stalemate war will last longer, and the number of deaths at that time may be much greater than cutting through the mess with a sharp knife. Secondly, how long do you think the soldiers in the Demon Realm can endure? Sooner or later, the grievances that can be defended will turn into complaints against the husband. By then, loyalty and trust will no longer be there, discipline will no longer be maintained so perfect, and war will break out sooner or later."
Shi Xiaobai took a deep look at the Queen and said: "You are indeed very smart. These two points you said are correct, but how could I not take it into consideration? Don't worry, I have already thought of a solution to these two points. A brilliant solution to the problem.”
"oh?"
The Queen raised her eyebrows slightly and said in surprise: "What can I do?"
Shi Xiaobai grinned and said: "A method that can end the war as soon as possible, kill the God King, and restore loyalty, but we still need to wait."
The Queen asked again: "What are you waiting for?"
Shi Xiaobai said softly: "When my reputation becomes notorious."
... ...
... ...
Facts have proved that Shi Xiaobai was right. The blazing war seemed to have been poured down by the Demon Realm's retreat and determination not to fight back.
Out of hatred for the Divine Realm, the supernatural race was unwilling to join forces with the Divine Realm to attack the Demon Realm, but they were also afraid that the Demon Realm would benefit, so they became timid in the war with the Divine Realm.
The same is true for the God Realm. They are not only afraid that the Demon Realm will join forces with the extraordinary people because of the Demon Realm Wall, but also are afraid that the Demon Realm will watch the tigers fight from the other side and make cold shots at the last moment, so they also have several options.
The blade of war has been blunted in this way, and the Demon Realm has become a constraint on the God Realm and the extraordinary people. Moreover, the Demon Realm, which has such a great advantage, is like a tortoise that only defends but does not attack. This makes the Demon Realm even more terrifying, because no one can I don't know when the clawless tiger will suddenly pounce.
However, the facts also proved that the Queen was right.
The fact that the blade of war has been blunted does not mean that the war will cease. It just lengthens a war that could have been decided in a few fierce battles.
The war is still going on and soldiers are still dying, but at a slower pace.
And because it only defends but does not attack, the battlefield has always stayed at the fourth line of defense. The Demon Realm is like a beast trapped in a cage, unable to take a step out at all.
Although they clearly had a huge advantage, they had to huddle in their turtle shells in frustration. The people of the Demon Realm finally began to complain. Coupled with the constant verbal taunts from the soldiers of the God Realm and the Extraordinary Race, the soldiers of the Demon Realm They just felt like they were holding a breath in their chests and wished they could vent like crazy.
However, the Demon King repeatedly emphasized and gave orders. From beginning to end, it was still the same eight words - try to capture them alive and defend them.
So, gradually, the reputation of "the most cowardly demon king in the ages" not only spread on the battlefield, but also spread to the world, to the divine realm, and even the demon realm gradually gave birth to such a voice.
Shi Xiaobai's derogatory nickname of "the most cowardly demon king in history" spread throughout the three realms!
It can be said that Shi Xiaobai's reputation is already terrible!
And on the tenth day of the war, something happened that shocked the three worlds!
Two letters were sent to the giants of the extraordinary tribe and the divine kings of the divine domain!
That's a letter from the Demon King!
The letter reads -
"To the King of Gods and the King of Lions:
Why does war have to be war against war? Do you dare to fight king against king? All I want is a life-and-death battle between the three kings, where the outcome will be determined by life and death! If this king dies in battle, the Demon Realm will surrender! On the other hand, if you are unfortunate enough to be killed by this king, please retreat on your own! This king has issued this declaration of war. Do you dare to fight? —The most cowardly demon king of all time pays tribute! "

(ps: I originally wanted to write about war, but I saw several comments saying that the copy was too long. When I thought about it carefully, it was indeed a bit too long. So I struggled all night and finally settled on the current version, War I will write again when I have a chance in the future, but now I’d better get to the point and end the dungeon as soon as possible! For those of you who want to read about the war, please forgive me. Of course, I have laid the groundwork for so long and it is definitely not possible for it to end in an anticlimax, so it will take some time to end the dungeon. Of course, this The plot for a period of time will definitely be very exciting, because the climax is coming!)
