Chapter 2643: The Flames of War Rage (3)
In Azure Dragon City, White Tiger City, and Black Tortoise City, Yang Xi, Yan Yu, Tang Nazhi and Li Xiaowei
had all received the same news as Qi Xia; the Elf King and the other rulers were also prepared to go to war
at any time.
However, things were moving in an unpredictable direction.
The twelve devil generals did not target the main cities. They extended their claws to the cities that had
not yet been breached.
Late at night, the soldiers of the major cities were waiting solemnly to prevent the Devil Race from
sneaking an attack in. Meanwhile, in another place, shadows came quietly in the darkness.
The city lord of Windy River City was in his room, wiping his armor. His wife was sitting by, holding his
seven-year-old daughter in her arms.
The family of three was very happy.
“The devil army has moved forward. Tomorrow morning, you and Yue’er will evacuate the city together
with others. This place will soon become a battleeld.” The city lord of Windy River City looked at his wife
and daughter and his eyes were overowing with the reluctance to part.
“Take care of yourself.” The wife nodded slightly. Even though she refused to give up, there was no
hesitation. Her man was a being of indomitable spirit. What he shouldered was not only a family, but a
whole city.
“Don’t worry; I still remember the lord’s orders.” The man said with a smile.
The warm re lit up the warm bedroom. The city lord of Windy River City stepped forward and hugged the
two most important women in his life.
All of a sudden, the ames ickered, the locked door burst open, and a pungent smell of blood lled the
air.
A bloody gure strode into the room; behind him were a dozen devil soldiers holding bloody swords.
“It seems that my luck today is not too bad.” Hei Jiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the three people
before him, his eyes leaping with excitement.
The city lord of Windy River City immediately drew his sword and stood in front of his wife and daughter.
Behind the devil soldiers, he saw the corpses of his men in the courtyard. These loyal guards had already
left him, and their corpses were all lying in front of his room.
Hei Jiao acted as if he owned the room, cocking his legs and looking at the solemn human in front, “No
need to say any nonsense. I know you are not afraid of death; you humans are crazy, but it doesn’t matter
anymore. Still, can you ignore the lives of your wife and your daughter? I advise you to cooperate with me,
and I will ensure the safety of your family of three. Why put your loved ones in danger for the sake of
others?”
Over the past few days, Hei Jiao had captured many members of the Barren Land, including human
beings, demons, and undead. However, all of those human beings had killed themselves as soon as they
landed in his hands. Even the demons who had always been the Devil Race’s minions made the same
choices as the humans. This made Hei Jiao completely speechless. There were also those undead who had
destroyed the core of their lives without any hesitation.
What was it that made them willing to end their lives just like that?
Hei Jiao had no idea, but tonight, things might be dierent.
Hei Jiao felt that he had found a good target this time, when his hostile eyes fell on the women and child
behind the man.
The woman hugged her daughter tightly and looked at the devil man in horror.
The voice of the city lord of Windy River City seemed to be blocked. He knew very well what Hei Jiao was
planning to do. He could ignore his own life, but his wife and daughter were his precious treasures.
With the lives of your family at stake, no matter how rm the will might be, it would be torn apart.
