Sitting in a dark basement, with only the sunlight above his head, Salux felt extremely cold and desolate.
Just now, the shadow of his men appeared in the basement and reported to him the shocking news that humans had surrounded the castle.
"Can't I even deceive those little minions? Am I just such a lost dog now?" Salux smiled bitterly, drank the bad wine in the cup, then shook his head and sighed.
He was once a king who commanded an army of tens of millions, but now he has lost all the courage to confront Eiland Hill head-on.
"Your Highness...it's those idiots who betrayed your trust." The shadow remained humble and respectful, and opened its mouth to defend Salux.
However, it was obvious that Salux at this moment had no intention of caring about how his subordinates had foolishly ruined his important mission.
In fact, his defeat was not really an injustice, because in the not-so-vast territory of the Southern Kingdom, Ailanthil's southward troops had almost completely wiped out the remaining demonic troops.
The demon troops guarding the capital of the southern kingdom had been completely wiped out a day ago, and the large demon troops scattered in the southern region had also been caught up and surrounded.
The demonic troops that lost their unified command had no ability to fight back when facing the mobile troops of Ailan Hill. They only made a symbolic resistance and then dispersed.
No longer able to care about the demon army that continues to harm humans, the approximate hiding place has been mapped out.
The huge intelligence analysis agency of Elanthir also quickly came to a conclusion, that is, judging from the degree of resistance of the other party, Salux was obviously no longer among the defeated army of these demons.
Based on this conclusion, Chris and his staff all believed that Salux should have found a hidden place to hide.
As a result, the areas occupied by Airan Hill began to be intensively investigated. In fact, it was for this reason that the troops of the Special Task Department of the Airan Hill Royal Guards rushed to the front line to investigate suspicious areas.
They have been in the southern kingdom for a few days. During this period, they have inspected many castles and eliminated a large number of hidden demon troops.
It was precisely because of these experiences that they were able to alertly discover how special this castle was!
"I hope those stupid humans will believe those equally stupid compatriots... In this way, we can be safe." The shadow continued to comfort after seeing Salux not speaking.
The human beings who were sent out were actually tortured to the point of going crazy, and then fell under the spell of temptation.
In fact, Salux put a lot of effort into creating such a layer of insurance. After all, there are not many magics in this world that can control other people's minds, the restrictions on their use are too high, and the effects they can have are very limited.
First, he slaughtered humans in front of these people and bathed these people in blood. Then he forced these living people to eat their own kind, and then promised them temptations such as eternal life.
In short, after exhausting all methods, he finally became these crazy betrayers. When someone is suspicious, these people can be used as a cover to deceive and disguise.
However, Salux did not expect that the first time these so-called disguises were used, they would encounter the top tracking troops of Eiland Hill.
"These people are almost crazy... They have experienced terrible things, their spirits have been destroyed... and they seem to have been tempted by demons..." In the woods outside the castle, a magician stared at those who kept repeating that there was nothing in the castle.
The demon civilians said worriedly: "This method is not something ordinary demons can do."
"As long as you say this, prepare to attack!" The leading Airan Hill officer waved his arm gently, giving his men a signal to prepare for an attack.
The magician was stunned for a moment, and then stopped him and said, "I'm not sure! I just suspect that these people are not normal... You can't open fire on a human settlement just because of suspicion..."
"I can!" The commander interrupted the magician: "As long as there is doubt, I am qualified to order the fire! And... there is weirdness everywhere here. Only a fool will believe it if there is no problem here."
"Chug, tug, tug!" While they were talking, the A-10 attack plane piloted by Ilan Raymond dived while pouring thick ammunition at an unknown target in the castle.
The tracer bullets fired by the 30 mm caliber Vulcan cannon were densely packed, flying into the city like raindrops, causing a cloud of white smoke behind the city wall.
"Suspicious target found! Suspicious target found!" The warning voice of pilot Ilan Raymond on the Air Force channel suddenly sounded in the earphones.
Then, two bombs fell into the castle and exploded inside the city wall, raising a cloud of black smoke.
Then, in the next second, a huge body struggled to be lifted up from the castle. It was a huge black demon dragon whose body was twice the size of a normal demon dragon. It broke free of the disguise covering it, revealing
Its huge head.
"Now, do I have reason to fire?" Pointing at the huge target, the commander snorted at the magician who was blocking him, and then loudly ordered: "Fire with all your strength! Attack!"
"Swish, swish, swish!" The rocket nest under the short wings of an armed helicopter began to emit white smoke, and the rockets hit the target one after another, exploding on the huge magic dragon that was breaking free from its camouflage.
"Boom!" The thick smoke caused by the explosion rose into the sky. The demon dragon was obviously hurt by such fierce firepower, and it raised its head to the sky and let out a huge roar.
However, Eiland Hill's Air Force and Army Aviation did not stop, but continued to fire all the ammunition they carried at the target.
"Call! Call! Need reinforcements! Need more reinforcements! There are a large number of demon troops hidden in the target area! There are a large number of demon troops hidden in the target area!" On the radio, there was a noisy voice calling for support. Computer side::

Ilan Raymond piloted an A-10 attack plane and aimed at the magic dragon that was spreading its wings and covered in black blood.
He accelerated his dive and then pressed the button to launch the missiles. The two missiles separated from the wings of the A-10 attack aircraft and flew towards the target on the ground one after the other.
Then, "Boom! Boom!" There were two loud noises, and the missile exploded on the demon dragon's body, causing a black rain of blood.
The huge explosion blew away the tiles on the surrounding buildings, and the rubble fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The civilians who had taken refuge in the devil and had lost their minds were hiding in the middle of the splashing rubble, screaming and crying incessantly.
However, some people soon became quiet. They were hit by these fragments and fell in a pool of blood.
The huge explosion of the laser-guided bomb, coupled with the struggle of the giant dragon, caused many buildings in the castle to collapse.
At this time, on the city wall that was already full of cracks, a loose crenellation finally broke free and fell down.
The city lord standing under the city wall, the old man who was already on the verge of death but had been restored to life by the devil instilling magic power, felt that he was enveloped by a shadow.
He subconsciously raised his head and saw the huge boulder that had fallen from the city wall rapidly enlarging in his eyes.
Subconsciously raising his hand to cover it, the fallen demon who had just been arranging his men to resist the soldiers of Elanthir was smashed into the soil by a huge boulder on the city wall.
And the soldiers who had gathered around him just now, after seeing their commanders being smashed into meat pies, all dispersed and began to run away in confusion.
However, no matter whether they run towards the city or escape outside the city, what awaits them will be a very terrible ending.
"The city is full of followers of the devil! Don't let anyone go!" A commander waved his arm, signaling his soldiers to move forward bravely.
After hearing his shout, a group of Airanthil soldiers rushed towards the blown-out wall of the castle with their weapons in hand.
Most of the demon soldiers originally standing on the city wall had been killed by the suppressed fire, and the remaining ones were already in chaos. They saw the charge of the human troops, so they also started to carry weapons and launch a counterattack.
However, their number is too small, and their opponents are too strong.
The huge demon dragon finally fell in the ruins, and the entire body was simply submerged by countless cannonballs.
In the trembling basement, wisps of dust fell down. Salux stood up and walked towards the door step by step, pressing his slender palms on the heavy door.
The door was pushed open easily, and Salux followed the light of the torch and walked along the spiral stone steps step by step until he reached the end of the spiral staircase.
He stretched out his hand and pressed the stone next to him. The wall at the end of the corridor opened. Salux pushed open a wooden door disguised as a bookshelf and walked into the well-decorated study room.
The explosion outside illuminated this luxurious-looking study room, with some quills and documents scattered on the table.
Salux walked out with his hands behind his back, passing through the rubble-filled corridor, past the corpse of the huge demonic dragon, and passed the corpses of many demonic soldiers.
Then, the bearded Salux squinted his eyes and watched the last demon officer fall in a hail of bullets.
"I am the third prince of the devil, Salux..." He calmly faced the human soldiers and countless magicians, with disdain on his face: "You? Who dares to fight me?"
He felt very comfortable at this moment, because in the past few days, he had not enjoyed this feeling of being illuminated by the sun for a long time.
