Free Web NovelChapter 1725: Chapter 942: Subjugating the Balrog Flame Demons (Part 2)
Lis looked down at the crowded Balrog Flame Demons below. His voice wasn’t loud, but it still reached the ears of every Balrog Flame Demon present.
"Dominic is already dead. Now I’m giving you two choices."
"Either acknowledge me as your master and obey my orders from now on."
"Or, leave this place, leave the 106th layer."
Lis spoke calmly, yet he put immense pressure on all the Balrog Flame Demons present.
They only had these two options; there was no other way.
This was Edward’s final ultimatum to them.
A moment later, all the Balrog Flame Demons’ gazes fell onto Rodrick.
Rodrick currently held the highest status and position among the Balrog Flame Demons, so he naturally became the leader of all the Balrog Flame Demons for the time being.
"Lord Edward!"
Rodrick shouted loudly, without the slightest hesitation.
Although before this, Edward had only seemed to him like a Vampire with decent strength who also possessed many other abilities.
But now, the other party had already become a Legendary Strongman, and even the Lord of this Abyss Plane.
Rodrick lowered his head in a very straightforward manner.
This was the Endless Abyss, after all!
Here, strength was everything!
At the very least, having Lis as their new master was far better than Legendary Lich Garrison.
"We are willing to become your subordinates, as long as you can give us a place to survive."
Rodrick’s demands were very low; he didn’t even ask Lis to grant them the Desolate Flame Capital.
Rodrick might not be very smart, but they all knew very well what strength represented here.
At the very least, they had no qualifications to negotiate terms with Lis.
"Just help me manage the Desolate Flame Capital."
Lis nodded and spoke to Rodrick.
Although he planned to transform part of the Abyss Plane, it was only a small portion.
Lis did not intend to alter the area of the Desolate Flame Capital.
For Demons, it wasn’t easy to have a centralized Demon City.
This was a place Dominic had run for many years before it became this lively.
To Lis, the Abyss Demons gathered here were also a special kind of "resource."
Just as well, letting these Balrog Flame Demons guard the Desolate Flame Capital would save Lis a lot of trouble.
He didn’t have much time to spend here.
"Lord Edward."
Seeing Lis agree, Rodrick couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief, then continued:
"You should already know that it was Garrison who killed Dominic the gr... who killed the former Lord."
"It’s very likely he will come again. Please be careful."
Hearing Rodrick’s reminder, Lis smiled slightly and said:
"Don’t worry, he’s already dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lis’s figure vanished from midair.
After that, only Rodrick and the other Balrog Flame Demons, who were still in shock, remained on the scene.
That powerful Legendary Lich Garrison... was already dead?
Really?
They had followed Rodrick and fought against Garrison’s Undead Legion for a long time, so they naturally understood very well how powerful this Legendary Witch Demon was.
Their former master Dominic had died at Garrison’s hands.
And now, Lord Edward was telling them that Garrison was dead.
If this was true, then the one who killed Garrison had to be Lord Edward, right?
Rodrick found it a bit hard to believe his own guess.
But with one less such powerful enemy, they did feel a lot more relaxed.
At least they no longer had to worry about the threat of Garrison.
Lord Edward didn’t seem like someone who would be overly harsh either.
All the Balrog Flame Demons let out a sigh of relief.
Rodrick, however, was thinking further.
If Lord Edward had the strength to kill Garrison, then he definitely wasn’t some ordinary Legend.
In that case, Lord Edward definitely wasn’t someone who had just barely broken through to Legend.
Which meant the strength he’d shown before was very likely something he had deliberately hidden in advance.
Could it be that Lord Edward had already prepared to make a move against Garrison?
What a terrifying existence!
Because of his own speculation, Rodrick’s heart trembled a little.
He didn’t think too much about Edward making a move against Dominic.
After all, when Dominic died, they had been not far from the battlefield.
As for what exactly had happened on the battlefield, there was no way they could fully know.
Besides, he didn’t see any problem with it.
For Abyss Demons, overwhelming strength was the only truth. As long as you were the final victor, there was nothing wrong.
Being able to end up with this result was probably already not bad for the Balrog Flame Demons.
"Alright, everyone get moving. Clean up the Desolate Flame Capital according to Lord Edward’s instructions."
Rodrick looked at his clansmen around him and shouted loudly.
All the Balrog Flame Demons, upon hearing this, immediately began to get to work.
With a new master, they now had a new backbone.
Although they were somewhat nostalgic about the Death of their fellow Lord, the Demons still had to go on living.
It really had that "whoever feeds you is your dad" kind of vibe.
...
On the other side,
Lis ignored Rodrick’s own mental fill-ins and had already arrived at the castle in the center of the Desolate Flame Capital.
This had once been the residence of the Legendary Fire Demon Dominic, and now naturally became Lis’s property.
Seeing Lis agree, Rodrick couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief, then continued:
"You should already know that it was Garrison who killed Dominic the gr... who killed the former Lord."
"It’s very likely he will come again. Please be careful."
