Chapter 1756 - 1759: Decision Made
The entire negotiation with the Demon Clan proceeded unexpectedly smoothly, marking the first time the silent edge of the Iron Cavalry was revealed in this world.
They described the benefits after joining the battle to the bloodthirsty and violent race, arousing the most savage bloodlust in the hearts of the Demon Clan.
They gently persuaded the races that preferred stability and were unwilling to take risks, carefully explaining the future actions of the God Slaying Alliance to them.
To the cunning and ruthless races, they continuously offered various malicious schemes, allowing them to see all that they would gain once they deployed for the battle.
They...
Thousands of plans deduced by a hundred thousand minds came into being, then tested by the most elite negotiators, making the smoothness of these events daunting.
The old ape who first contacted Lu Xiaobu had a look in his eyes of immense complexity!
Their racial talent always made them proud, feeling they could see and understand everything, even being one of the wisest races within the Demon Clan. They didn’t think they were inferior even compared to those humans outside!
Yet this time, the old ape felt as if his eyes couldn’t see, couldn’t see anything at all!
He didn’t see the terror of that man, didn’t see the later actions of those people as if they were demons.
Never had he thought that this group, seemingly as insignificant as ants, could achieve such terrifying deeds!
Their mouths opening and closing simply subdued all these unruly Demon Clan members!
Some were stirred into killing intent, some were bound by wagers, and some seemed to see everything they desired.
What shocked him even more was that someone had become a friend of Xiao Tian, now called the Bloodhound Leader!
Friend?!
Could this be the term for a human by this being who has killed countless, eaten countless, and didn’t regard the Demon Clan at all?!
He felt the world had changed, right in the short time since that man arrived!
Although, throughout almost the entire time, that man was there dozing, occasionally getting up lazily when his subordinates called him.
What kind of group is this?!
The old ape saw the fanatical loyalty of those subordinates toward this man, but also saw those subordinates beating the man unceremoniously!
This was nearly unimaginable within the strictly hierarchical Demon Clan.
How could subordinates dare treat their leader like this?!
But they did it, with no objections, nothing seeming amiss, and what shocked him even more was that although they did such things, their loyalty to that man was completely unchanged!
The old ape simply watched, this wise being of the Demon Clan feeling confused for the first time!
Finally, his thoughts ceased when all the leaders came out!
He already understood, this deployment, call it that, was already unstoppable!
Despite the very different things those leaders were thinking!
Some had even mapped out their deployment method for them!
It was an offensive method called a beast tide by these people!
When the old ape first heard of this attack method, he knew the brutality of such an approach!
Beast tide!
Beast tide!
To drive the Demon Beasts of these hundred thousand mountains into a fierce charge?
What a plan! Indeed, what a plan!
Although he actually didn’t care about the existence of those Demon Beasts, he still could feel the cruelty and coldness in it!
What kind of person could think of such an attack method?!
Only Lu Xiaobu didn’t know his thoughts; if he did, he would probably tell him—go ask those online novel writers, who the hell knows how they come up with these ideas!
Thus, the matter came to a close, even though no one negotiated with the old ape, it was still an invisible negotiation.
Because he was the one who initiated it, now that others had agreed, he had no room to back out!
This matter was then collectively reported to the Demon King.
The Demon Kings were first stunned by their decision, bewildered, not knowing what madness had possessed these leaders!
Thus, the Demon Kings sought their opinion.
Then, the leaders, each convinced by various means, gave all sorts of mixed reasons!
Something about sticking up for a friend at all costs.
Something about a wager binding them with no turning back.
Something about going out to fight to release pent-up pressure.
The old ape clearly saw the Demon King’s head about to explode, nearly swallowing them all whole!
Finally, that perpetually lazy man came forward.
The old ape actually didn’t think this man could convince the Demon King!
And indeed, it wasn’t necessary, since the leaders had already agreed, the Demon King wouldn’t care!
Yet, he was wrong!
This man convinced the Demon King!
And with just a few sentences!
Those sentences that others didn’t think much of, but he found chilling!
The man said this: "It’s difficult for the Demon Clan to gain intelligence, but once a beast tide is launched, those who survive under immense pressure might gain intelligence, and those who are fortunate enough to devour some Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul will become the future pillars of the Demon Clan! In such a way, exchanging some Demon Beasts to preserve part of the Demon Clan, what does the Demon King think?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Kings almost instantly agreed!
To them, even if only one Demon Clan member emerged from a thousand Demon Beasts, it was worth it!
Without gaining intelligence, Demon Beasts would forever remain beasts; although of the same origin, they are not the same species!
Moreover, since the leaders agreed, this matter was unavoidable.
And now, they also saw the benefits!
Since that’s the case, why not do it!
The old ape heard these words!
At this moment, he realized, those humans who talked the leaders into confusion weren’t the strongest, this guy was!
With just a few words, he merged the current situation, the mind of the Demon King, then seized the opportunity in one fell swoop!
Alas! Who knows how many lives will be lost this time!
The old ape silently lamented in his heart!
But these thoughts were fleeting, just like what Xiao Tian recently learned from his human friend—only the law of the jungle matters; humans are just a slightly larger group to them!
Thus, it was decided that the ten-thousand-strong mountains would deploy troops as planned.
At the end, the old ape couldn’t help but find Lu Xiaobu once more to ask the deepest question in his heart—why send them to kill the Human Clan? Isn’t this a betrayal of the clan?
The Demon Clan is centered absolutely upon the clan as a unit, this form of treachery is almost intolerable to them!
Yet the man merely pointed to his subordinates, said calmly to him: "This is my clan!"
Upon hearing this, the old ape came to an understanding—that humans are not all one clan!
