“Think about it; I will give you time. Don’t even think of killing yourself—even if you die, I won’t make it easier for your wife and daughter. Demon beasts are very fond of women and children, with their thin skin and tender flesh.” Hei Jiao nastily reminded him. He would like to see whether this group of human beings really were insane and whether they could truly disregard the safety of their own loved ones for the sake of their superior.
The City Lord’s complexion turned pale.
His hand holding the sword slowly lowered, as if he had given up his resistance.
Hei Jiao’s eyes flashed with a smile.
“You humans have a saying: a wise man submits to circ.u.mstances. I believe you are a wise man. Instead of dragging your family to death, you should choose another path. We devils are not really a bloodthirsty bunch. We will naturally accept those who are willing to submit to us and give you a good place to live. Once the war is over, you will not only be a city lord of this small town, but you can even rule over a larger area than the Forsaken Land.” Hei Jiao saw that the man had somewhat loosened and slowly threw out his tempting words.
The thing called loyalty only came about because the temptation of other parties was not strong enough. Even a saint could not stay firm in the face of sufficient temptation.
Coercion and inducements; Hei Jiao knew how to manipulate people’s weakness.
“What do you… want me to do?” The City Lord of Windy River City finally lowered his head and asked in a m.u.f.fled voice.
Hei Jiao smiled and replied, “Tell me, where is your underground pa.s.sage.”
The devil army had fought with the alliance army several times, and each time they won, they could find only ruins. The alliance army in the city had already retreated safely before the gates was broken. Hei Jiao knew that a pa.s.sage leading to the other cities must be hidden in each city, but they did not know the specific location of this pa.s.sage.
As long as they found the underground pa.s.sage, they could follow it into the center of each city, and finding the way to Sun Never Sets would no longer be a problem.
“1 can take you there, but… can I talk to my wife and daughter first?” The City Lord said.
Hei Jiao shrugged his shoulders as permission.
The City Lord of Windy River City turned around and looked at his tearful wife and confused daughter.
He stretched out his hand, touched his wife’s face, wiped the tears from her eyes, and rubbed his daughter’s head.
“They have always said that Yue’er looks like me, but I think she is more like you. Only a beauty like you can give birth to such a lovely daughter.” The City Lord crouched down and looked at the two women he loved most in his life.
His wife was choked with emotions and shook her head. She was shaking all over and unable to say a word.
“Have you ever regretted it? Marrying me, I mean?” The City Lord asked softly.
The woman shook her head firmly.
The City Lord smiled. He leaned forward slightly and kissed his wife and daughter. In their ears, he whispered in a voice only they could hear, “I’m sorry.”
Suddenly, the sword in his hand ran directly through his daughter’s chest, and the man’s bloodshot eyes were filled with despair.
“Take him down quickly!”
Hei Jiao shouted.
The group of devil soldiers rushed up immediately.
However, it was already too late to pull out the sword stuck in the daughter’s young and tender body. The man followed this by raising his hand and striking his beloved woman with his palm. The gentle woman slowly closed her eyes, with a faint smile on her mouth.
The devil soldiers had not acted quickly enough. The City Lord’s wife and daughter were already dead, and the b.l.o.o.d.y human, like a madman, issued a shrill laugh..
