Chapter 1507: The Demon God Regains His Confidence

Over the past two days, the Demon God's mood had been very low; he would often walk to the burial ground where the demon-race soldiers lay buried, stand there motionless for a long time, like a statue.

The demon-race soldiers following at his side, seeing their Demon God my lord in such a state, were all deeply worried, yet none dared step forward to comfort him, for no one knew how such a matter should be handled.

Just at that moment, a demon-race soldier came trotting over.

He was about to report the situation, but was stopped by a companion beside him.

"Can't you see that Demon God my lord is feeling sorrowful right now? If you go up there now, you'll get a scolding straight away. Don't you know that?" After saying this, he glared fiercely at the other party, signaling him not to speak carelessly anymore.

Being given such a dressing-down by his companion, the other party also came to his senses, hurriedly shut his mouth, lowered his head, and said nothing more.

At this moment, the Demon God had already noticed the movement on their side; he turned his body, his face dark, and asked: Has something happened?

Seeing their lord ask a question, the two soldiers hurriedly fell to their knees.

"Reporting to Lord my lord, the soldiers who scattered and left have now been gathered together; although a small number have not yet returned, basically there is no major problem."

After hearing their words, the Demon God also nodded slightly and asked aloud: Where are they now?

"Reporting to Lord my lord, they are now waiting for you on the plaza." As he spoke, that soldier pointed toward the distant plaza.

Hearing this, the Demon God asked no more and walked quickly over.

At this moment, the plaza ahead was filled with demon-race soldiers, and the expressions of all those demon-race soldiers had become extremely solemn.

Seeing this, the Demon God slightly furrowed his brow and briefly halted his steps.

The demon-race soldiers at his side, seeing the Demon God stop, hurriedly asked respectfully: Lord my lord, do you have any orders?

"Nothing, keep walking."

After saying these words, the Demon God continued to stride forward.

Watching the Demon God's retreating back, those few demon-race soldiers exchanged glances, then hurriedly followed as well.

Soon, everyone arrived before the front row of demon-race soldiers, then stood in place, quietly waiting.

After the Demon God cast a glance over the crowd, he suddenly made an unexpected move.

The Demon God's knees bent slightly; he knelt on the ground, cupped his fists with both hands, and said respectfully to the soldiers before him: My friends, I have wronged you. With the Demon God's move, an enormous cry of surprise instantly erupted across the entire plaza.

Demon God my lord, what are you doing!

Please rise quickly, please, how could this be fitting—get up quickly!

The demon-race soldiers, one after another, showed looks of shock on their faces and spoke in succession.

The Demon God still did not raise his head, still maintaining his original posture, and said: My friends, we have already let down your expectations. Originally I said I would bring you victory, yet until now the battle situation has still been so wretched and dire.

It was even my negligence that caused countless soldiers to become vengeful spirits after my madness; I feel deeply guilty. If possible, please all of you accept my apology and accept the punishment for this failure.

I am willing to bear all the responsibility; I only ask that all of you can forgive me.

While the Demon God spoke, he kept his head lowered, in a posture of repentance, looking utterly sincere.

Demon God my lord, we did not mean to blame you; this has nothing to do with you!

That's right, you did nothing wrong!

Yes, we have never blamed you; we all know this is entirely because the lord alliance army was too cunning, that it was our failure to guard against it that caused all this to happen, and it has nothing to do with you at all. Please do not blame yourself too much.

After the Demon God finished saying these words, those demon-race soldiers, every one of them, were brimming with tears, and said to the Demon God.

They did not reproach the Demon God in any way; instead they were saying this matter had nothing to do with him. Seeing this, the Demon God felt even more ashamed; their attitude filled the Demon God's heart with deep gratitude.

Thank you, all of you. Thank you for your tolerance of me; I will not let you suffer grievance either. As the Demon God spoke, he took out a small knife from his bosom and immediately slit open his own palm.

"Today I shall swear upon my own flesh and blood: from this day forth, I will definitely make those fellows of Dark City pay the price, make those bastards never be reborn for all eternity!" After the Demon God finished saying these words…

He forcefully smeared his own bright-red fresh blood onto the ground.

Demon God my lord, you do not need to make such a vicious oath. Even if you only say the word, we would all be willing to go through fire and water for you.

Hearing these words, the Demon God instead laughed, shook his head, and said: It doesn't matter?

I know you truly wish to do something for me; it's just that I do not wish, because of me, to have you sacrifice your lives. What's more, I have already decided: I will fight to the death. Since I am already the leader of the demon race, I must do something for the demon race.

If I cannot even fulfill such a small request of yours, how can I command the entire demon race? the Demon God said righteously.

Hearing the Demon God's words, those demon-race soldiers were all stunned; they had never known that the Demon God was actually a man of such deep loyalty and righteousness.

At this moment, within their hearts toward the Demon God, intense admiration and worship arose.

Demon God my lord, you are truly too great.

We are willing to follow you, to follow you forever, with absolutely no second heart; if we violate this oath, let us fall into an abyss of no return, never to reincarnate for all eternity!

Hearing these words, a gratified smile appeared on the Demon God's face; at this moment, he felt much better in his heart.

Very well. Since everyone agrees to follow me, then let us set out immediately to seek out the lords of Dark City. For our demon race to return to its former prosperity and glory, this time, I will personally cut them down and avenge our fallen soldiers! the Demon God said with iron resolve.

Revenge! Revenge!!!

Revenge!!! Revenge!!!

The demon-race soldiers shouted in unison; fury burned in all their hearts—they wanted revenge, wanted to demand justice for their fallen compatriots!

At this moment, the atmosphere across the entire plaza instantly froze; in every person's eyes, hatred and killing intent flowed, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet sharply.

Seeing this, those demon-race soldiers, one after another, had excitement and joy flashing across their faces; they knew that Demon God my lord was preparing to go personally to take revenge on those detestable humans!.
