The Geared Immortal

Chapter 311 - The Great War Of The Races 14

The demon capital

/*unedited*/

A month has passed since Agnes and Shin Jiao traveled through the desert. They have encountered many demons and other creatures on the way. The news of two strange demons began to circulate throughout the whole demon kingdom.

As many demon cities fell one by one, panic began to fill every pure one with fear and trepidation. It is known that the two strange demons are very strong and powerful that even some demon generals are of no match to them.

Hence this made the demon stop focusing on the front lines and began to amass their forces from within the new kingdom.

Inside a large gray castle, in a throne room stood a large demon wearing a blue late Victorian court's clothing insinuating his grandeur and royalty demeanor. This is the Demon King Belfast. Around him are people who also wore the same clothes.

As he looks at his subjects below the high seat a contented smile appears on his face.

After sitting on his throne, a demon walked forward and presented a sheepskin parcel towards the demon king.

"My lord, this is the report we got from the destroyed cities. It seems that the two unknown demons are untraceable. We don't know where they came from and how they were able to enter the city."

"We speculate that they may be posing as orcs or kobolds. This is because those who escaped said that they saw a human… a woman wielding great power while she is being assisted by different kinds of demons." The demon reported.

"That must be the demon queen!" my king let me go and hunt her down.

"We can't let her rampage in our territory. We have to kill her."

"How dare a human ruin us, demons! We have to take revenge and kill her and those who are siding with her."

Shouting from the generals and the ministers on the throne room began to echo.

Demon King Belfast just sat there on his throne looking bored. He didn't want to hear these fools bicker, all he wanted is a good fight. From what he heard the demons assisting that woman are very strong. They are strong enough to defeat his left hand, the Three Scourges.

This piques his curiosity and wanted to know who those demons are.

Suddenly, the throne room giant door opens and entered two demons, a beautiful young woman and a huge and bulky young man.

Their bodies are riddled with scars and wounds. Even the left hand of the bulky demon is already missing. But this didn't lessen the imposing aura in their bodies. These two are Misha and Jail.

They were able to escape that dangerous situation but with a price. Misha has already lost one of her eyes due to the debris from the explosion, while Jail lost one of his hands trying to save Misha.

"My king, these two lowly servants are here to serve. What is your command?" said Misha as she took a knee in front of Demon King Belfast.

"You have lost a fight. This I cannot tolerate. You have to scour the whole of my new kingdom and find those two in 5 days… If not, then I will feed your flesh to the moat." said Belfast in a stern voice.

His words made the other demons on the throne room shiver. Their backs are drenched in a cold sweat. Though Misha and Jail were being threatened they just nod their heads obediently and stood. Within their eyes, a resolute decision has been made to hunt those enemies or die trying.

Meanwhile, as the demons are in chaos the war at the front has already stopped.

Inside a large tall castle in the fort, a well-lit throne room is filled with people. Many of the people inside the fort are the generals who have led this war and protected the borders. Right now there is a festive atmosphere as food and wine are being served courtesy of the beast clan.

At the top of the makeshift throne, sat a huge beast-man with the head of a lion. His expression is that of happiness and beside him sat the 2nd prince of Xi.

"Your highness, it seems that master Shin has successfully infiltrated the demon territory. We are receiving news from our spies that many of the cities occupied by the demons have been destroyed." said a cat man wearing silver armor.

In normal times, they would not be able to wear such magnificent armors. But due to the war, the cultivators have given them a hand as many artifacts crafted from the kingdom of Wu are being sent in the front lines, hence arming the beast-men and the cultivators in fighting against the demons.

"Prince Li Yan, that person who was sent to the demon territory is a bit terrifying. We have tried many times to infiltrate the demon territory but we would always fail. Sigh… Your empire is lucky to have such a soldier."

Hearing the praises from the beast-men emperor, Li Yan Xi felt a bit proud and conflicted at the same time. This is because Shin Jiao is with the demon queen. He is not sure if they can truly trust her words. But they have no choice in this. So far the result is favorable in their part.

Suddenly, his gaze turns towards a group of ladies in the corner. Then he recalled that his own woman also has a relation with Shin Jiao. Though he found it weird that Cherry Lao was indifferent at seeing Shin Jiao in the Xi imperial capital city, he discovered the reason why.

She knew that he was not the real Shin Jiao.

What if the two would meet again, what happens next?

But this time, he looks at Qin Lou who looks very elegant. Though many are saying that she covers half of her face because of an ugly scar on her face, he still finds her charming and beautiful.

"What am I thinking? Shin Jiao is putting his life on the line and here I am concerned about my affairs. I need to prepare the troops for the final push after they sent the signal to attack." Li Yan Xi thought.

While the party is happening, a cultivator is currently running as fast as he could towards the throne room. His face has a hint of worry and concern. On his hand is a piece of paper that contains an important report.

Suddenly at a turn, the soldier found something weird.

But it was too late. A long thin blade has already pierced his heart and appears right in front of his chest. The thin blade is covered with his blood making his eyes turn wide in disbelief.

Then all the strength within his body left him as he fell to the ground dead.

The shadow stood beside the soldier's corpse and carefully picks up the paper.

"Hehe… This is a very nice piece of news. But alas, no one must know... as everyone should die. Hihi…" the shadow said as its figure suddenly disappears along with the soldier's body on the ground.

In this festive night, no one has noticed that a brewing conspiracy is happening behind the scene as all are focused on the war against the demons.

While all of this is happening, Shin Jiao and Agnes are currently staying at the main city of the demon territory. They two have already infiltrated the huge city, but are unable to act because of the strict security the city is conducting.

They are now disguised as two pure-blood demons. Shin Jiao has light purple skin, while Agnes has alight pinkish skin. The two horns on their foreheads are gleaming like dark sapphire as they acted like refugees.

"This is a bit difficult… The guards are everywhere, and their strength is not ordinary. I can also feel something strange in their spears…" Shin Jiao whispered as he walked beside Agnes.

"Those are Black Guards and their weapons are mana void. It can absorb and negate mana on someone. That is also the reason why they have easily defeated me last time. Though those weapons are insignificant to me, when attacked by many I'm still powerless against them."

"Hey, you're always saying that you are strong, but I can see that your mana capacity is too low." Shin Jiao asked in confusion.

"What do you know… I was injured near my heart last time. They injected something into my body. I don't know what it is thought." Agnes grumbled.

"Really? How come I didn't know that? I didn't notice it when I was healing you last time." Shin Jiao frown.

"You didn't ask."

Shin Jiao decided to use his absolute sense and began scanning, Agnes's chest.

Suddenly he saw her glaring at him.

"Scoundrel! When we get back I would tell your beloved Qin Lou that you tried to peek on my boobs."

"You… I was… I was just trying to find out what's wrong."

Agnes wanted to reply but suddenly they saw a large number of guards running towards their direction. Shin Jiao and Agnes are currently walking along with a huge number of pure ones as they acted like refugees from the other destroyed cities.

However, they didn't know that the demon king has already suspected something and is now preparing to apprehend the human and her demon allies that attacked his kingdom.

As a large number of soldiers approached and surrounded their group, Agnes began to show panic in her eyes. This reaction is not only hers but also the rest of the refugees in their group.

"What should we do now? I think they have discovered us." Agnes whispered in panic.

Then from the row of Black Guards, a tall and handsome demon walked forward without his black steel helmet. On his face is a wicked grin that sends chills down the spine of the refugees.

A bad premonition happened when that demon turned his gaze towards Agnes.
