Chapter 409: The Demons' Plan
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The Southern Region...
A pure and unadulterated territory.
Over here, the relationships between males and females were seen as the release of their desires. The males fought courageously on the battlefield.
And return, they had the love and adoration of the ladies.
Before they were married, a lady would give her virginity to the male warrior to prove her courage and determination.
She was willing to give it up for love.
Similarly, if two males liked the same lady, they would duel constantly for her virginity. This was respected by the others.
Of course...
The lady would still be able to choose who she wanted to be with.
No one was ever forced to do anything they didn't want to in the Southern Region. This was a place which valued freedom of choice above all else.
Princess Shan Yu calmed down and looked at the worried expressions on her generals' faces. She smiled.
"If you are afraid that he will harm me, then why not just tie him up tightly before sending him to my tent?"
"Erm... yes, your highness!"
All of the generals looked at each other before sighing to themselves.
"Commander Teng, I have a thousand-year-old rattan 'beast containment lock'. Please use it to tie Fang Zhengzhi down!"
"Thank you, General Lin!" Teng Shisheng was slightly exasperated when he took the lock from General Lin. However, he had to ensure Princess Shan Yu's safety...
...
Fang Zhengzhi did not feel good when he regained consciousness.
He felt like there was a mountain crushing him from above. Then, before he could release himself, he heard crashing sounds.
Then...
He felt like he was falling.
That feeling caused him to panic. However, just before he hit the ground, he was caught by a rattan string.
However, it was clearly unstable.
He continued to bob up and down as well as sideways. This caused him to become increasingly nauseated.
He swung for a long time before finally coming to a stop.
Just as Fang Zhengzhi thought he had escaped it all, he felt himself being restrained once again.
This restraint was incredibly strong.
Snake?
No!!!
He did not want to be strangled by a snake and eaten.
He struggled and struggled...
In the end...
Fang Zhengzhi saw a ray of light in front of him. It was bright, and it inspired hope. Then, he saw something that resembled a mountain peak.
It was almost the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. It tempted him towards it.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to touch it.
However, he realized that he could not even move his fingers. It was almost as if he had been strangled by a python.
"Ah, evil creature, let go of me!" Fang Zhengzhi bellowed in frustration as he blinked to regain his sight.
The view in front of his eyes began to clear up.
Then...
His jaw dropped.
He realized that there was a lady in white leather in front of him. As for the mountain peaks...
That belonged to a lady.
This lady exuded an animalistic beauty and was firm in all the right places.
Fang Zhengzhi knew this for a fact.
It was shaking right in front of his eyes...
...
Princess Shan Yu's expression darkened.
She was not happy about this.
Fang Zhengzhi had been sent to her tent.
Trussed up securely.
Princess Shan Yu was happy about this. However, when Fang Zhengzhi began to struggle, she could not resist getting closer to see what happened.
She was next to Fang Zhengzhi.
However, she did not expect that his first words would be, "Ah, evil creature, let go of me!"
"Evil Creature?!"
Princess Shan Yu knew what Fang Zhengzhi meant.
The Southern Region residents lived side by side with the beasts. Even though it was dangerous, the residents treated the beasts like their neighbours.
They were a part of each others' lives.
To call one an evil creature...
That was derogatory and showed a complete lack of respect for such an ideal.
"How dare you call me an evil creature? Are you tired of living?" Princess Shan Yu exploded as she grabbed a wooden pole by the bedside.
"Bong!"
A dull knock echoed out.
Fang Zhengzhi felt the impact and the world in front of him turned black once again. His head continued to throb.
Princess Shan Yu watched on dazedly.
"Oh? Did he faint again? Hey... shameless b*stard, wake up! I am ordering you to wake up immediately!" Princess Shan Yu roared.
But...
It was no use.
Fang Zhengzhi continued to remain in a coma.
After some time, a voice could be heard outside the tent.
"Your highness, there is an order from the Sagely Mountain City! Please attend to it!"
"Okay, I got it!" Princess Shan Yu nodded and turned to look at the comatose Fang Zhengzhi.
It's all your fault!
If you had not called me an evil creature, I would not have knocked you out!
You deserve it!
...
The Sagely Mountain City.
The capital of the Southern Region, and the highest point in the Southern Region. It was built out of stone and was meant to be a fortress.
Shan Ling.
The third son of the king and the heir to the throne.
Normally, being the third son, he would not be able to be the heir to the throne.
However, that position was his. Furthermore, he had little to no competition. He had already made a name for himself in the Southern Region.
This was also linked to his talent.
He was decisive and courageous. He had everything that was respected and prized in the community and was the ideal candidate.
However...
He had clearly lost his cool.
"Boom!" A loud crash echoed out and the jade table was smashed into the ground, creating a large crater as it did so.
"You want me to go past the point of no return?!" Shan Ling roared, his silver leather coat flapping, the two five colored feathers on his head quivering.
He was infuriated.
However, the man in black standing in front of him was unaffected. He did not even take a step back.
"We do not understand. How is this a point of no return? This is how our race will take care of you." The man in black replied calmly.
"Take care of me? Take care of me! Hahaha... do you really think that I am dumb? You want me to kill the current king, my own father!" Shan Ling's eyes were red, his rage building. His emotions were unstable.
"Just think about it, the throne would be yours!" The man in black was unaffected by the aura around Shan Ling.
"Who the f*ck cares? I will be killing my father!" Shan Ling clenched his fists tightly.
He wanted to smash this man where he stood.
But he could not.
It wasn't because he wasn't powerful enough. However, there were 50,000 Demons surrounding the Sagely Mountain City.
They should not be here.
Because...
According to the agreement, they were allies in this battle. The Southern Region would face the Great Xia with all that they had, whilst the Demons would send their elite forces to augment them.
However, there were 50,000 Demons outside the Sagely Mountain City.
Demons!
They had begun cultivation from the day they were born. They would easily destroy 20,000 soldiers.
And now, there were only 20,000 soldiers in the Sagely Mountain City.
This wasn't a result of Shan Ling's carelessness.
He did not have a choice.
The Southern Region was vast but there were not many people. As such, they had to try and reduce their expenditure in this battle.
In order to do so, Shan Ling had placed ambushes in all the four major settlements.
This did not mean that he had left the capital unguarded.
In fact...
A 20,000 strong army...
Under normal circumstances, Shan Ling had every confidence that he could hold back 100,000 Great Xia Dynasty soldiers.
However, when faced with a backstabbing army of 50,000 Demons...
He could no longer hold the city.
He had not underestimated the Great Xia. He never expected that the Demons would turn their backs on him and attack the Sagely Mountain City.
