Chapter 424: Poison Valley And The Necromancer Emperor

Inside the meeting hall of the Torgrim Castle, more than ten elders clad in shiny battle armor were seated before a round table with solemn expressions on their faces.

Stormhoof suddenly clapped his hands and said to the werewolf demon seated together with him on the most prominent seats. "Congratulations on your breakthrough, Brother Herald!"

The other elders were shocked but they also congratulated Herald when they heard Stormhoof's words.

Herald Lycan beamed upon hearing this. He was also quite pleased with his recent breakthrough. He was now at the late stage Void God Realm! "Thank you, everyone! But we should focus on more important matters now."

Stormhoof and the elders nodded their heads.

"I called everyone here so that we can begin with our preparations. There are only a few days left before Cornelia's enthronement! We shouldn't allow that succubus to ally with Narda Principality and other superpowers!" Stormhoof spoke with a grim tone.

Everyone knew why Stormhoof said this.

The moment Cornelia gained new allies, their plans to subjugate the throne would become difficult. It was necessary to weaken her military power before she ascends to the throne!

"Do you guys have any suggestions on what we can do?" Stormhoof eyed the elders.

"Why not ally ourselves with Poison Valley and the Necromancer Emperor?" Herald suddenly said with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Hearing the two superpowers he mentioned, Stormhoof and the elders frowned as they contemplated deeply.

Poison Valley's territory was a bit far from their Great Demon Empire. It was where many deranged demons who specialized in poison arts gathered! They were also mortal enemies with Narda Principality who shared the same region as them.

On the other hand, the Necromancer Emperor was a wandering Void God Realm expert. However, no one dared to underestimate him since he was in control of an undead army that numbered over a million strong! His power alone was already equivalent to an empire!

"We can negotiate with the Poison Valley. I'm quite familiar with their Valley Master, so I can try to invite him to our alliance. As for the Necromancer Emperor..." Herald furrowed his eyebrows as he shook his head. This guy was quite a peculiar fellow and it was dangerous to provoke him, even Herald dared not fight with his undead army!

Stormhoof gritted his teeth and muttered. "Alright, I can visit that guy's territory and see if I could make him join us. I have the corpse of a Fire Wyvern Overlord. I can part with this if he can help us..."

Hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise. Even Herald gulped as he stared at Stormhoof's gloomy face. This guy was actually willing to give the corpse of Void God Realm savage beast! If he had something like this, he would definitely keep it to himself.

"In that case, I'll ask you guys to prepare your armies as well. As for that succubus, just let her be for now." Herald commanded the elders.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Divine Beast Continent, a few demons came out of a forest. They were covered in gruesome wounds and one of them even had his entire arm cut off!

"Lord Hanzo, are you sure that you're fine?" Demon Ancestor Jun held Hanzo's shoulder as he asked the latter with a worried look.

A month ago, they came here to search for spiritual herbs under Balmond's orders. They thought that everything would be easy since all the members of this expedition team were quite powerful. However, they were soon proven wrong!

They encountered many strong savage beasts along the way and they were forced to fight just to complete their objective. Even with their strength and teamwork, some of them were still killed by those ferocious savage beasts!

Hanzo took out a healing panacea from his space ring and quickly consumed it. After the pill entered his stomach, the pain he was feeling became a bit bearable. He then glanced at Demon Ancestor Jun and his remaining teammates. All of them looked haggard and weary.

"Brothers, I know we sacrificed a lot for this expedition, but we are soldiers of the Great Demon Empire! We will do anything that His Majesty commands! The fallen didn't die in vain! We have accomplished our goal here, so we should go home and receive our rewards!" Hanzo spoke in a loud voice while ignoring the pain in his internal organs. He could already feel his blood rising through his esophagus, but he quickly swallowed it back down.

Demon Ancestor Jun and the others nodded their heads, but their faces were still solemn.

Seeing that his words had no effect, Hanzo gritted his teeth and said. "You want to know what those spiritual herbs are for, right? Well, let me tell you. Those herbs are for Prince Artaurus! I don't know the specifics, but I do know that the herbs we gathered are meant for him."

"That means His Highness can recover with the help of those herbs?!" Everyone jolted in surprise when they heard this. They knew that Prince Artaurus was an absolute genius, but he suddenly fell ill when he turned eighteen. If he recovers... Just thinking about it made these injured experts excited!

The matters about Prince Artaurus were mostly confidential, but with their status, these experts still had some information about the ill prince. If he was healthy, he would have been the crown prince and the next ruler of the Great Demon Empire! His cultivation talent was many times greater than Princess Cornelia and even his wisdom was beyond the laidback succubus. From what they remembered, Prince Artaurus was already a Nascent God Realm expert when he just turned eighteen! His speed in cultivation could leave anyone in awe!

Hanzo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw their lifting moods. He then waved his remaining arm and signaled the group to follow him. "Alright, that's enough. Let's go back now!"

After that, Hanzo squatted down and activated the teleportation array formation beneath their feet.

The inscriptions of the array formation suddenly lit up and enveloped their bodies with a brilliant light. They then vanished in a blink of an eye!
