I just covet their strength

Chapter 342 Political Marriage
The domain of the Lord of Blazing Flame is reflected in reality by tearing apart an entire space, creating cracks that resemble broken glass.

This kind of phenomenon is rarely seen under normal circumstances. Everyone present knew that the battle between Lord Qinghui and the Shadow of the God would determine the final outcome. Therefore, as soon as the phenomenon disappeared, everyone stopped their attacks and focused their attention on the space where the domain faded.

Who's winning?
Is it him? No, it's him!
After the smoke and flames dissipated, the rune heavy armor that the Fire Demon King was wearing was found to be in tatters. Even the flames could hardly rise from the dull surface of the armor, and his lower body was cut in half. Although the rune heavy armor was only a possession of the Fire Demon, the dim flames showed how serious a blow the Lord of Blazing Flames had suffered.

Westhead's condition was not too good either. He asked Evening Prayer to use the [Soul Burning Technique] on him, and the effect was several times stronger than his own. Most of the cost was borne by Evening Prayer, but even the burden on the body left fragments of a strong man on his body. Needless to say, the [Music Notes] were purely consumables in a battle of this intensity.

Even so, Westhead's image was undoubtedly much better than the one he had when he defeated the Lord of Withering. This was certainly because he had borrowed the prestige of Evening Prayer - but that was not important! In the eyes of outsiders, it was he who had beaten the Lord of Blazing Flame to his knees by himself anyway!
Lord Qinghui stepped on the breastplate of the Flame Demon, looked down at him from above, and said calmly:
"It's a pity, after all, I am still slightly better."

"Ahem. If you hadn't been injured by that bitch before, you would have relied on yourself? Just you!!"

The Lord of Blazing Flame first tried to make excuses for his defeat, saying that Westhead's victory was unfair and that he had only barely defeated him with the help of Anis and the Lord of Absolute Extinction.

But more accusations came to his lips, but he never said them out loud - not because he felt it was unnecessary, but Westhead was worried that the other party would damage his glorious image, so he took the initiative and stabbed through the core of the Fire Demon with a single knife.

"Hey! You still dare to be stubborn?! You must not let me stay, you must not let me stay!"

With the experience of the Lord of Withering, devouring the secondary divinity of the Lord of Blazing Flame was a piece of cake for Westhead. He absorbed the divinity into the demonic veins, and through the contract center planted by Evening Prayer, he transported the divinity bit by bit to the mind image space of the Lord of Extinction, waiting for Evening Prayer to refine them.

After silencing the witness, Westhead looked at the crumbling body of the Lord of Blazing Flame, sighed, picked up the only remaining flame-shaped sword, and held it high as a symbol of his trophy.

There is no need to say much. When Westhead made such a gesture, he was greeted with deafening cheers, like a landslide and a tsunami.

There was also some boasting mixed in that made Westhead feel uncomfortable.

"Long live!"

"Long live Lord Qinghui!!"

"Demons are like a roadside beast under the Lord's command!"

"."

After annihilating the real leader of the demon kingdom, the next development should be to smoothly take over all the cities in the lake occupied by the Lord of Flame. The fire demons will also be reduced to ashes because of the demise of their monarch, and most of the people in the royal court who have broken free from the demon's distortion will wake up, and only a very small number of extremists who have gone crazy will still resist stubbornly.

But this kind of resistance is undoubtedly ridiculous. There is no need to even face it. They are just clowns that can be destroyed with a snap of the fingers.

Amitron stepped forward with great interest and said, "We can go and inform the tuner team and ask the Grand Tuner to revise the Thousand Tunes Ceremony and mend the grand ensemble."

Westhead shook his head and said, "No hurry, let's occupy the territory first. The battle went smoothly this time, and I still have some strength to spare. There's no need to ask the tuner to rush to repair it. In order to avoid any more trouble, this fire demon is not in its prime. It has been fighting with other demons before, and there are other demons eyeing it covetously."

"Yeah! This is also a problem. We have to race against time."

After a brief rest, the punitive army immediately continued its march. The troops, which had sufficient baggage and physical strength, quickly formed an advance corps and began to seize territory.

Westhead followed leisurely in the rear army. After a few days, the advance troops finally stopped, not because they had taken over the entire kingdom of the Lord of Blazing Flame, but because they encountered obstacles.

Yurda pretended to be serious and said seriously:

"Brother, your worries have unfortunately come true."

"Another group of demon followers marched straight in and occupied several lake cities before us."

"Extremely shameless!"

Before Westhead could say anything, Amitron and other elves in the royal court became furious and cursed:
"While we were fighting bloody battles, this demon actually dared to do such a thing!"

It was as if the results they had worked so hard to achieve had simply been given to the enemy, and they had completely forgotten who had restrained and injured the Lord of Blazing Flame.

Huh? It seems like they really don’t know, but even if they do, they won’t feel like they’ve gotten a bargain.

When devils fight devils, it's just dog biting dog!
Since they are all enemies, all the demons should be driven out without leaving a single one. Otherwise, what else can we do?

When the royal army officially arrived at the border, what they saw was a magnificent white jade palace built against towering mountains and canyons.

The city in the lake surrounded by emerald trees and white jade still had strange flags flying over it. It was supposed to be another center of the Land of Luyin, and its status was incomparable to that of an ordinary city in the lake.

"This is the gateway to Seralis, the border of the Land of Music."

In this attack on the Lord of Blazing Flame, most of the results should have been achieved in this fortified city, but now the fruits of victory have been stolen in such a despicable way!
"Lord Qinghui! Please target this daring demon for your next attack! Flatten her kingdom and chop off her head!"

The elven military officers were filled with righteous indignation and made suggestions to Westhead.

Westhead looked at the flag and said slowly:
"Ah, Lord of the Feast"

"You don't know much about the relationship between demons, and you have little knowledge of the Shadow of the God. This [Lord of the Greedy Feast] is a real pure-blooded demon. To put it more directly, she is a relative of [Emperor Qianlu]!"

"!!!"

"Lord Qinghui, what did you say?"

"The bloodline of the God Ancestor. A succubus?" Most of the royal courts were indeed unclear about Anis's identity. The Kingdom of Order was already very taboo about the study of demons, not to mention the shadow of its own God Ancestor. After the outbreak of the [Demon's Feast], they were thankful to be able to figure out the titles and approximate distribution of each demon.

Therefore, Westhead's words were authoritative. He nodded and said:

"In terms of the mastery and erosion of the Thousand Laws Code, this demon is one level stronger than the other God's Shadows. Even I am not sure of defeating him. He may really use the Thousand Laws Code as an aid. Tsk. It's difficult."

Yurda suggested at the right time: "The territory controlled by the Lord of Feast is the province of Seralis. I heard that she has never taken the initiative to attack the royal court. The priority of attacking can be put aside for now, and we should first clean up the surrounding demon kingdoms."

After being poured a bucket of cold water by the brother and sister's concerted words, the elves such as Amitron also thought calmly. No matter how reluctant they were, they had to admit that it was unwise to go to war with Anis's demon kingdom now.

“That’s all it can do”

Westhead finally made the decision:

"Then it's decided. Let's let the Lord of Feast go for now and attack other demon kingdoms to take back the nodes."

The same was true for the subsequent expeditions. While calling in tuners to correct and stabilize the nodes, they continued to launch expeditions against the demon kingdom.

Every time Westhead attacks, he chooses the weak Shadow of God, and whenever he attacks, Anis will also advance at the same time and fiercely attack the opponent. With Anis and Evening Prayer, with two such big demons helping him, how could Westhead be blessed?

He became more and more adept at fighting demons. Even though he was still unable to defeat a big demon at the level of [Lord of Greedy Feast], he could already kill many demons in the Qianlu Royal Court, those marginal characters, after a fierce battle.

However, after each demon was killed, the territory that the royal court could recover was limited. Anis's demon kingdom would annex a large number of cities in the lake. No matter how hard they tried, it would not work. The legion under Anis's command had a horrible grasp of timing, as if someone had told her when the demons would be defeated, and the elves in the royal court were so angry that they were jumping up and down.

No one would doubt that this was a collaboration between Westhead and the devil. They would only think that Anis was really hateful. She was madly paying attention to the movements of the Royal Court Legion and only reaping the benefits. She was really hateful!

This was the deal Westhead made with Anis. The two of them joined forces to wipe out the demon kingdom around Seralis, and the ownership of the city in the lake was split 50-50.

It’s not that Westhead cares about these territories. Compared with the city in the lake, Westhead cares more about the divinity obtained from killing demons. After these precious divinities are refined to the purest part by Evening Prayer, they can be handed over to Westhead for research and use.

There is no way to teach or impart the secret of reaching the demigod realm. Even Evening Prayer is powerless. The Lord of Absolute Extinction said that she reached that realm naturally by swinging her sword and killing enemies.

Great, needless to say.

But Westhead doesn't have that unparalleled talent, so he can only rely on luxurious resources to do this. After all, he doesn't have a talent that can help him comprehend the demigod realm.

If he could share the [Melody of Ten Thousand Winds], it would be a shortcut. After all, plagiarizing the homework of [Emperor of Thousand Laws] was Westhead's established goal.

There is no originality, and the talent and understanding are stuck here. Anyway, Westhead doesn't care anymore because he has done so many freeloaders and stitches.

In addition to seizing divinity, the key is to squeeze the living space of other shadows of the gods. Under the pincer attack from the Great Demon and Lord Qinghui, even demons who dislike each other will be forced to stick together.

Once the demons unite, whether they join forces with Anis or invade the Central Royal Court, it will be a weight that the current Qianlu Royal Court cannot bear.

At that time, Westhead would spread his hands, indicating that he was really powerless and that the Qianlu Royal Court should seek help from someone else. Wouldn't this naturally put the pressure on Elevit?

Originally, before Westhead came, the Qianlu Royal Court would never have faced a coalition of demons and could barely maintain the status quo. However, after a series of operations by Lord Qinghui, although a lot of territory was recovered, the situation became extremely dangerous.

Just after Westhead had annihilated the demon kingdoms around the Central Royal Court, or around Seralis, through continuous fierce battles, the Shadows of the Gods, who were finally dissatisfied with the Royal Court Legion's repeated killings of demons, united for the first time and launched a large-scale attack on the Royal Court's various defense lines.

This would never have happened in the past. Generally speaking, demons would not attack the City in the Lake controlled by the Central Royal Court, because the Tuning Lawyer Group would resonate with the [Thousand Laws Ceremony] and severely increase the strength of the demon followers.

Going to fight the tuner at home is a purely thankless task. Anyway, when the big ensemble completely collapses, these elves will naturally kneel at their feet.

They will attack even if they are at a loss, which shows the extent to which the shadows of the gods are united in their hatred of the enemy. Westhead not only wants to kill the demons, but also beats them to their knees every time and humiliates them severely!

For the sensitive Thousand Law Demons, dignity and honor are more important than life.

With all the battles going on, Westhead had to stop his march to conquer the demons and return to defend the city in the lake that had been recaptured by the Thousand Laws Royal Court.

During a routine meeting with Elewite, Westhead said bluntly:
"Your Excellency the Grand Tutor, I may not be able to continue the next expedition. Last time, I encountered three demons who ambushed me. As long as I leave our node, I will suffer such attacks anywhere."

"As I said, if it comes to fighting alone, I can still handle it for now, at the very least I can delay it for a while, but facing multiple demons, I am really powerless."

Ilevitt frowned. He originally wanted to say that he had prepared a strategy of waiting for the demons to fight among themselves and then boiling the frog in warm water. However, this made the Central Royal Court, which was despised by the demons, become the target of public criticism.

It was impossible to blame the allies, Westhead had good intentions and fought on the front lines day and night, what kind of person would blame such a dedicated soldier?
Westhead talked about the old problem: "Perhaps we should seriously consider it, Mr. Grand Tutor, we need more power."

This time, the chief tuner finally stopped being ambiguous. His stern face fell into deep thought, and then he finally spoke:
"But there is a prerequisite. We need a deeper covenant."

Westhead's eyes lit up and he asked, "What covenant?"

As long as Mivana and Leixia can be sent in, I will give him as much as he wants!

Elivitt: "Political marriage."
