The news shook the entire Central Plains.
The battle of the Emperor’s tomb had come to an end. Everyone in the world thought that they would hear the final announcement of who would win the Emperor’s Heart in the Emperor’s tomb.
However, it wasn’t until the news spread that everyone realized that this so-called Emperor’s Heart was a trap, a bait used to attract Kings.
A shocking trap set up by a human had killed 90% of the King demons, as well as many Kings from other races.
Not many details were revealed in this battle because most of the survivors were human experts.
However, the result was that most of the Kings who had gone there had been wiped out in one battle.
This battle could be said to be the most earth-shattering battle since the invasion of the demons. In one battle, 90% of the King demons were buried.
Not to mention the losses of the other races, even the humans only had a few Kings left, and all of them were injured, extremely severely injured!
When many people received this news, they could not help but be shocked. They even did not dare to believe it. They even felt that this must be fake news.
How could the humans have the ability to ambush the demons and even bury the Kings and elites of the demons?
What a big deal.
In addition to these King demons and demon elites, there were also various martial arts masters, half-Kings and Kings who had died. However, they did not lose as many Kings as the demons.
At first, everyone was in disbelief. However, they saw that the demons who were still wreaking havoc in the hinterland of the humans seemed to have received some urgent order overnight and retreated overnight. Not a single one of them remained.
All of them were gone!
At this point, all the people who were still in disbelief were now convinced. It was indeed similar to the rumors before. The humans had successfully killed the vast majority of the King demons.
Otherwise, it was impossible for the elite army of the demons to retreat overnight. If they did not leave now, they might not only face the counterattack of the humans, but also the collective counterattack of other races.
After all, almost everyone liked to beat up a fallen dog. No one was willing to let go of such a piece of fat meat.
On the other hand, the demons had already left with their troops at lightning speed. This made many people who had other thoughts in their hearts feel quite regretful at this time.
He didn’t manage to gain any advantage!
After confirming that this news was true, everyone went crazy, especially the humans.
After fighting against the demons for decades, although it had only completely collapsed, in fact, it had already hurt its vitality. In this process, countless well-known experts and young heroes had all fallen in the war with the demons.
Even though the humans was the overlord of the Central Plains, they had been pushed to their limits in the successive wars and were only a step away from collapse.
This was also the reason why the human king had chosen to take the risk to initiate this plan. If he did not take the risk, the humans would probably collapse before those ancient prodigies of the humans could grow up.
Once it collapsed, there would be no chance to save it.
In these decades of war, the strength of the humans had decreased by more than 50%, and the losses were countless. The acc.u.mulation and foundation of many years had been exhausted in the war with the demons.
The human army was on the verge of collapse!
Now that the fiend race army had suddenly retreated, this was no different from letting out a sigh of relief for the entire human race!
However, no one had the time to celebrate. To be precise, every household was in extreme sorrow.
For so many years, the humans had suffered huge losses. Almost every household had people who died in the tide of resisting the demons.
It was just that there was no time to be sad before. They fought day and night. If they did not fight, they might be killed by the demons.
Under the pressure of survival, no one had the time to grieve. However, at this moment, everyone could not hold back the grief in their hearts and cried out.
Not only did they feel pain for the people who had died in the past, but they also felt pain for the heroes of the humans who had died in this battle. More than half of the Kings had died. Some of these Kings were familiar to everyone, but some had died before they even knew their names.
As for the half-Kings, their losses were uncountable.
This battle could only be said to be a lose-lose situation. Although the losses of the demons were far greater than those of the humans, it had to be admitted that the foundation and strength of the humans were far inferior to the demons.
After such a huge loss, the remaining experts of the demons were not necessarily less than the current humans. In terms of strength, they were even above the humans if not the king.
Then, a shocking piece of news came. The human king was severely injured in the Emperor’s tomb and had to go into seclusion for at least a hundred years.
Everyone knew that the human king was the number one expert of the humans. His strength was unfathomable. Even he had no choice but to announce that he was going into seclusion. One could imagine how bad his injuries were.
The few remaining Kings seemed so weak in this chaotic world.
Even the non-humankind was shocked by the humans’ astonishing generosity this time. The Kings who didn’t go to the Emperor’s tomb were all extremely glad.
Due to various reasons, they didn’t choose to go to the Emperor’s tomb in the end. However, this had now become the best decision they had made in their lives.
Although not going to the Emperor’s tomb had cut off a path to becoming an Emperor, it had also saved their lives.
According to the insider information they had obtained, the Emperor’s Heart was incomplete, and it was not enough for someone to break through to become an Emperor. This was a trap.
They were even more shocked. The human king’s heart was so poisonous, and his methods were so ruthless.
“The human king has such powerful means. I don’t think he’s just targeting the demons. He’s even scheming against us. If I hadn’t resisted the temptation back then, I’m afraid I would have been buried in the tomb now!”
“What a powerful scheme. It’s going to include all the heroes in the world!”
“Does the human king really regard us as nothing?”
Many people were shocked by the human king’s astonishing generosity. He had calculated all the heroes in the world and bet on the future of the humans.
Even though they knew that they had no choice, they were still shocked by the consequences.
However, before everyone could sigh, a King monster said, “The humans has killed many of our Kings. A debt of blood must be repaid in blood. A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood!”
After that King monster, there were many Kings from the Hus, the barbarians, and the marine folks who made the humans pay with blood.
Just as the shadow of the demons dissipated, the humans once again faced the disaster of extinction.
