Huge stones rise from the ground and stack up together as if with consciousness, forming a huge dome like a temple.
Several purple lights flashed in the air, like paintbrushes, outlining a complex teleportation array on the circular table.
The black armor gleamed brightly, and the current Demon King, Gui'an Emperor, lowered his raised hand, and another teleportation platform was completed.
A signal tower was also completed at the same time as the transmission platform.
As long as the signal tower exists, information from different areas can be transmitted to the devil's ears in a timely manner.
As the battlefield becomes wider, more affairs are involved.
In addition, the Demon King also has his own things to do, and it is impossible for him to make all the decisions personally.
The Demon King set up a special headquarters to handle various complicated affairs.
Only when it comes to the most important matters will the Demon King answer the call immediately and provide handling methods and solutions.
Sometimes, important news would be mixed in with regular reports, and the demon in charge of the headquarters would first report the most important news to the Demon King, and then tell the rest of the news.
Now is the time for the Demon King to hear news from the headquarters.
A deep blue light flickered before the eyes of the Demon King, forming a screen. A masked demon holding a compiled manuscript appeared on the screen.
Before the masked demon could speak, the Dark Emperor asked first:
"Have you investigated Tian Hanxue and found out what happened?"
A day ago, Emperor Gui'an received the news that the attack had failed again, and Tian Hanxue, who went to support the attack, disappeared without a trace in that war.
As a demon king and as a father, Gui'an Emperor had tried to contact Tian Hanxue several times, but each attempt fell on deaf ears.
If you are involved in some dispute, at least you can get in touch.
Tian Hanxue has a magic device for emergency contact on her body. As long as she presses the magic device, nearby troops will receive instructions and provide quick support to her.
But
The cold snow disappeared without a trace.
The demon who reported the incident hesitated a little, but still told the Dark Emperor the intelligence he had just obtained:
"My Lord Demon, this is very unfortunate news.
Lord Tian Hanxue seemed to have been knocked down in that battle and sealed in some kind of instrument.
This is not something we proactively investigated, but rather intelligence released by the Rose Empire.
Lady Tian Hanxue is in their hands and can end her life at any time.
They hope that the Demon King can slow down his attack on them and negotiate terms with them."
The face of the Dark Emperor was covered by a black helmet, showing no emotion, and he muttered to himself:
"Is it your intention not to kill her immediately and spare her life?"
"Master Demon, how should we respond?"
After a moment's silence, the Demon King replied: "Continue the original attack.
Without her, the offensive will be much slower, but the pressure must be maintained.
There is no need to worry about the cold and snowy weather. Everyone should stick to the original plan and conquer all the surrounding countries to show our strength. They will have no choice but to surrender.
If at that time, the Rose Empire still resists stubbornly and wants to use her to do something.
I will be prepared to lose her.
Compared to her current situation, I am more concerned about who defeated her. Was it the hero this time
So far, I haven't received any news about the hero being active, but if it's him, it's not unacceptable.
After the hero appears, I should also take action. "
“Regarding this matter,” the masked demon flipped through the information in his hand, “I’m afraid it’s not a hero.
There has been no report yet indicating that the hero mentioned in Lord Relt Korra's intelligence has appeared.
They should be the group that once obstructed Lord Tian Hanxue.
To be on the safe side, we will further investigate whether the hero was involved."
The Gui'an Emperor stood there without saying a word, with purple light flashing in his eyes, as if he suddenly thought of something.
The masked demon couldn't help but swallow.
It would be much better if the devil lost his temper than now. No expression could be seen on the devil's face, and an unspeakable fear lingered in his heart.
In order to avoid looking embarrassed in front of the Demon King, he who was used to wearing a mask was chosen to be the liaison with the Demon King.
Trying his best to calm down, the masked demon began to report:
“If there is any news, I will contact the Demon King immediately.
Next, there are a few things that seem small but may trigger a series of problems if not handled properly.
Therefore, I must ask the Demon King for advice."
The masked demon said tentatively, and when the Demon King still didn't respond, he continued:
"One of the men from the logistics unit that came with the second batch of troops blatantly escaped.
He left a note to the demons in his unit, saying that he wanted to do something to repay the Demon King for what he had done, and that just working in logistics was a waste of his talent.
His identity has been investigated clearly. He is a member of the ghost tribe. His original enlistment evaluation was the lowest and he should have been enlisted at the back.
However, during the recruitment period, he always came to the gate of the military camp, set up a stall there, and showed off his cooking skills.
He said that he came here in a hurry last time and did not make proper preparations. He wanted to reach another world earlier and contribute to the Demon King's army, so he wanted the officers to make concessions.
The officer originally in charge of recruiting wanted to refuse outright, but the food he cooked was so delicious that it attracted several nearby officers.
Seeing that he was a good cook, the officers made an exception and allowed him to join the army early and gave him the position of chief chef.
However, not long after arriving in this world, he disappeared.
We never thought that this would happen.
According to military regulations, if someone runs away, he needs to be caught and severely punished, but this will consume a lot of manpower.
So, the officer over there asked me to ask the Demon King whether he should start a war for that person, and if he comes back later, what should he do? "
The demon who reported the incident cursed those officers in his heart. Rules are rules. How could those officers break the rules just because of the smell of other people's food
If the officer who had eaten the meal was here, he would definitely say to the reporting demon: You haven't eaten the food he cooked, and I don't believe that you can control yourself and talk like this after eating the food he cooked.
Listening to the report, the Demon King spoke absentmindedly:
“There are actually such weird things, this kind of thing cannot be allowed to go unchecked.
The military must be made aware of the severity of military law so that they do not violate military regulations.
If you catch him, just kill him directly and don't report to me.
There is nothing important, so I will stop reporting for now.
If you have anything to report, please report back in a few hours. I am going to contact the Four Heavenly Kings now. There are some things that I must tell them.
Give me all the information about the enemy that Tian Hanxue confronted last time.
I have already lost a great general, and I cannot afford to lose a second one.
If he's really difficult to deal with, I don't mind taking action."
