Chapter 469 Zheng Zha, Lord of Demons

City Lord.

As a captain of the Salvation Army and an actual participant in the advent plan, Li Lian was certainly qualified to meet the city lord.

He only needs to go through a brief process and wait for a briefing that is not long. And all these necessary processes will end when he leaves the Advent Room and heads to the core area of ​​Castlevania.

Castlevania.

Fantasyland, Castlevania.

No matter how many times he walked on the streets of this dark ancient city full of Gothic style, Li Lian could not help but feel a little subconsciously nervous. This tension certainly does not come from the stickers posted everywhere on the street, [Promote production, unite and help each other] [The earth is the earth for earthlings] [Severely crack down on stealing demons, violators will be severely punished] [Prohibition of damaging public demonic properties] slogan. Nor are they the Chinese and Western faces wearing red armbands and carrying street office signs - he would only find this funny. And this comical existence is meant to dilute this nervous mood.

He struggled to survive in this fantasy land for several years despite this tension, which might have been called fear in the past. During the past few years, he has been fighting to the death against the powerful demons in this fantasy land, fighting wits and courage, and even paying the price in blood.

Until the city lord came here three months ago.

Until Castlevania ushered in the real Lord of Demons.

"Captain Li, wait here." A voice hindered his progress.

That voice smelled of brimstone and the heat of fire.

He raised his head, and a sturdy demon wearing a neat military uniform and a big-brimmed hat saluted him with a standard military salute. A pair of burning flesh wings stretched out behind it, and it had a pair of eyes dotted with dark flames.

"Okay." Li Lian stopped obediently - in the past six years, nineteen of his colleagues were torn apart and devoured alive by this type of demon, and the old squad leader he respected most was even more so by this demon in front of him. The demon at the peak of the true demon level tore off half of his hand.

After all, this is the Balor Fire Demon, one of the most powerful groups among demons. The lowest level of fully developed individuals is also the middle level of True Demon level, and there are also many individuals of Demon King level.

But he also knew that the demon in front of him was housing his old squad leader - there was a slight delay in the operation of one of its hands. The former sworn enemy is now just a tool for the Salvation Army to use at its will. And people should not use gas on devices that can play a big role.

This is also the will of the city lord.

The city lord believes that people should eliminate the fear of these controlled demons. So he specially arranged for many disabled veterans to stay in the bodies of these powerful demons. And as long as these demons can continue to serve the people, this fear will naturally be eliminated.

This is a good policy. Li Lian has mixed feelings about it, but he supports it with both hands.

Because the urban area of ​​Castlevania is the area most suitable for human habitation in this fantasy land and can provide the most resources and protection. Moreover, these empty shells of demons are also the most precious but renewable strategic resources in Fantasyland, as well as...the bodies of those disabled veterans, whose bodies can slowly recover during the process of lodging.

There are so many benefits that there is no need to object. After all, these empty shells have long been considered dead. Then the blood feud of the past can naturally be regarded as eliminated and erased.

"That's enough." Balo Yanmo stepped aside, and this step was a very wide passage. "Your Majesty the City Lord has spared ten minutes for you, use it well."

"Yeah." Li Lian nodded.

During work, you should not gossip too much. But he could tell from the old squad leader's eyes that he would probably have to drink after get off work today.

So he moved forward. Wide doors opened one after another in front of him, and many doors still had traces of explosions and bullets. Those were all traces left by the bloody battles between the remnants of the Salvation Army in the distant past. They paid countless blood and ultimately failed to break through the core hall of Castlevania. However, now, he can wander in it absentmindedly.

It seemed as if he could still hear the remnants of roars and roars in his ears.

He saw the leader's headless body falling on the steps, blood staining the dark soul carapace, and his still twitching fingers pulling the trigger in vain. Shoots super electromagnetic projectiles worthless.

He saw his comrades being cut off at the waist by the giant sword, and the flame-stained giant claws crushing the familiar faces full of anger.

He saw the body of the soul being disintegrated in the magic energy, and the soul-sucking demon pulled out the struggling humanoid fragments from the body. Painful wails and decisive screams burst out, but this desperate fight came to a halt under the suppression of even more powerful forces.

He saw death, he saw mountains of corpses. I saw the demon king-level demon that broke through the bondage and reached out of the door with its huge claws. Countless desperate hands waved weapons forward in vain, while more desperate hands dragged him behind him.

"Retreat! The assassination failed! We cannot seal the Demon King!"

"Let's go! Li Lian! Take your people and go! You are the only ones who are not contaminated by the Demon King's curse!"

"Let's go!!"

‘Boom—’ The giant door closed in front of him, and the demon king’s furious roar was briefly sealed behind the door.

‘Boom——’ The giant door closed behind him, and the illusion of the past was replaced by reality. And a newly born quasi-demon-level demon ghost was roaring furiously in front of him.

He didn't pause or stop. He just stared at the newly born quasi-demon king, and there was no emotion in his eyes - it was naturally not the demon king that crushed the remaining members of the Salvation Army. And its newly born destiny will soon come to an end.

It's just a tool - why should people care about tools?

The dark flames had already wrapped around the body of the quasi-demon king, and the roaring rage was tainted with panic in an instant. The newly born quasi-demon wielded the flaming weapons in vain, and the flesh wings that kept flapping became weaker and weaker. The black energy that symbolized sin was like pure fuel that burned instantly when it came into contact with the pitch-black flames. In an instant, the black flames were poured into every orifice of this quasi-demon king and penetrated deep into it.

The city lord called that flame ‘violent flame’, which was the pure karmic fire that could burn away all sins.

But after only ten seconds, the powerful quasi-demon stopped taking action. Black flames flowed out of its eye sockets, and all the sins in its body were expelled.

It has become an empty shell, a tool. became Castlevania's vital usable asset, and it took a slightly sluggish step to the side.

And the powerful person hidden by its huge body was revealed on the throne.

"Your Excellency, City Lord." Li Lian saluted him with a military salute. "Report, Captain Li Lian, there is important information to report!"

He looked at the man on the throne, and he saw that the man's charming and handsome face was filled with helplessness - the man waved his hand, stepped down from the throne, and then paced helplessly.

"I told you to just call me Zheng Zha... You have to make it so formal... Okay, okay, rest. To be more specific, I sensed that all the demons used in the advent operation were dead. This time it's What happened?"

"Order and respect are necessary. You are indeed the master of Castlevania, the revenge and last hope of mankind. This is also the unanimous conclusion reached by all members of the Salvation Army. At any time, you should be treated like our supreme leader. Respect." Li Lian smiled, and his serious face gradually relaxed. He looked at the man in front of him, and he really only had respect in his heart.

The Lord of Demons, Zheng Zha.

The remnants of the Salvation Army three months ago and the survivors living in this fantasy land are just a group of homeless dogs, a bunch of meat beasts that have long been regarded as dinner by the demon kings and herded for livestock. There is only despair and panic in everyone's heart, and their greatest wish is to roar in defiance when the demon kings hunt for prey.

However, he came, he destroyed everything in the Demon City, and he ignited the fire of human hope and revenge. The dark flames are undoubtedly the judgment and wrath of humans against ghosts and monsters. And Li Lian has no doubt that he can lead mankind to the end.

so……

"We encountered a strange force when we arrived." Li Lian organized his words and said seriously and carefully. "This time the arrival was successful, the specific parameters must have been recorded in detail by the Scientific Research Department. The demon we controlled successfully descended into the desperate group of survivors and was then broken by external forces. And this strange force... …I think they might be the remnants of the World Government.”
