Land of ghosts.

Capital, royal palace.

Today is the day of the Oni-no-Kuni Dynasty, and all the ministers and even the witch Maitreya are present to participate in the pilgrimage and discuss important matters.

Everyone stood on both sides of the hall according to their respective identities, whispering about what needed to be reported next.

Only Maitreya the witch did not participate in any discussion.

She stood alone in the top right position, her eyes fixed on the empty throne, her expression worried, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

For a while, the ministers did not dare to go up and inquire.

After all, there is hardly anyone in the Land of Ghosts who are not afraid of witches, because no one wants to be suddenly told when they will die.

That's just too obscure.

However, because of the special status of witches in the country of ghosts since ancient times, no one will go to trouble witches without long eyes.

Qunchen whispered for about a quarter of an hour, and they chatted almost the same, and their voices gradually disappeared.

Right at this moment.

At the gate of the palace, a figure wearing a red cloud coat on a black background suddenly appeared.

Qunchen hurriedly looked at it, it was the current daimyo of the Ghost Country, the Hundred Foot Lotus.

Seeing the people coming, the courtiers bowed and saluted.

Hundred-footed Lianhua glanced at Qunchen and didn't say much, but casually took off the Xiao organization coat on his body and threw it aside casually, revealing the ghost country daimyo costume he was wearing inside.

This daimyo's costume is dominated by deep purple and has an embroidered pattern of a centipede on the back, which seems to be the family symbol of the hundred-legged lotus.

Although the witch and the courtiers have almost never heard of the name of the Hundred Foot Family, they have not delved too deeply into it.

Because Hyaku-Pedori Lotus had been the daimyo of the Oni Country for a few years, but they had never seen anyone from the Hyaku-Pede Clan appear.

Therefore, in their inherent thinking, the hundred foot family should be the first generation with the hundred foot lotus.

This daimyo, who suddenly appeared, wanted to create a royal family of his own.

For this huge ambition, everyone naturally will not object, after all, all those who oppose have been taken to feed the centipede.

"Has there been any movement in the Demon World recently?"

The hundred-legged lotus sat on the throne, and there was a kingly attitude in his gesture.

He glanced at the group of courtiers, and saw that none of them dared to look at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little bored in his heart.

The country's really backbone ministers were all slaughtered by him, leaving behind these are relatively smooth, fortunately, these people are also good at handling government affairs.

Because the people who were vegetarian in the corpse were also slaughtered by him.

"The Daimyo of Qiyu, the Charms, the Rays, and their Monster Legion have been wiped out by our side with less than 1,000 battle losses, and now they are retreating to the Tropic of Cancer in the Yellow Spring."

A general dressed as a samurai hurriedly stepped forward to report the situation on the front line, and then he knelt down spinelessly and bowed.

"Our soldiers were able to fight such a battle thanks to the help of the [Ladder] secret medicine provided by the daimyo."

"Hmph, is it also a battle merit to just consume some minions that can be replenished at any time?"

Hundred Foot Lianhua was very dissatisfied when she heard this.

The army of monsters that these people think sounds very powerful, but it is actually just some terracotta warriors made from the soil of the demon world.

After so many people died, but only turned over piles of dirt, what kind of battle merit is this?!

You can't do such a simple thing as beating the two wastes of the evil!

It's a pity that the country of ghosts is a small country after all, and the real generals are not impossible to find, but in the hands of these people who have the ability and like to sneak around, those generals who are not high and powerful basically have no future.

And he himself has little effort to discover talent.

His purpose is only one, that is, to destroy the demon world, and other governance is nothing in his eyes.

"Big, big name is angry!" When the general heard that the hundred-legged lotus did not eat this set, he suddenly trembled with fear.

"I'll give you another seven days, when our side will completely occupy the Tropic of Cancer!"

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one, this guy would be barely qualified, and Hundred Foot Lianhua wanted to slap this waste to death.

"But, but..." The

general was terrified when he heard this.

Occupy the Tropic of Cancer in seven days?

Isn't this a matter of living seven days longer and seven days less for him?

He said tremblingly.

"Daimyo-sama, our army has just experienced a big war, its morale is exhausted, and most importantly、、、 [ladder] is already somewhat out of supply."

"It's really not that you don't want to take orders, but if you attack in this state, it is tantamount to taking the soldiers to death!"

"[Ladder] is not well supplied?"

As soon as she heard it, she knew that the lack of secret medicine was the point, and the rest was.

After all, these nobles treated the people like pigs and dogs, just as he treated his courtiers.

Where is it possible to care about the lives of the people at the bottom?

"Your Excellency, the [Ladder] secret medicine is already being produced at full capacity, but..."

At this time, a minister dressed as a civil official came out to report.

"It's just that most of the young male labor in our country are recruiting the demon soldiers, and the fields are also cultivated by women and old people, and these people have little strength and are not allowed to take medicine, so that the planting area and harvest of medicinal herbs have never been able to rise."

"At present, the secret medicine in the treasury can only last the whole army for three months."

"Three months?"

Hyakizu nodded when he heard this, this is indeed a difficult problem to solve.

【Ladder】The secret medicine was brought into this world by him.

This is a very scary drug, because it is addictive, once the person who takes it stops, then within three days it will be better than death, except for a few people with extremely strong willpower, almost no one can block this side effect.

And people who take it for a long time will have a shorter and shorter lifespan.

However

, Hundred Foot Lotus Hua clearly knew that this [Ladder] secret medicine would poison the world once it was born, so why use it?

That's because.

In the face of the positive effect of this secret medicine, this small success, addiction and short life are actually nothing.

The power of the ladder lies in.

It's not like other hallucinogenic drugs that turn a well-behaved person into maggot-like waste.

Its effect is completely opposite to ordinary poison, it can make people eat stronger and stronger, like a ladder, helping people to climb their limits layer by layer.

As long as your life is hard enough, then it is not a problem to climb to the top of the world by taking medicine.

Therefore, once the [Ladder] came out, the adult men of the entire Ghost Country, except for the old and weak women and children, including the courtiers in the main hall, were also taking it.

As for the so-called lifespan?

Come on!

In this era of being able to live to be thirty years old and make a lot of money, who cares about what happens after thirty?

In an environment where desperation is equivalent to death for a long time, there is suddenly an additional means to become stronger by desperately.

Do you still need to ask?

Naturally, eat first!
