Chapter 1266: The Demon Swamp (6)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Earthshaking footsteps sounded.
Mud was everywhere in the swamp, and no one knew which spots were safe to step on.
This slowed down their progress immensely, as everyone treaded with extra caution.
Suddenly, an intense demon aura appeared at the front.
A crowd of black figures was rapidly approaching from the dense forest ahead.
Countless demons were spilling out of the forest, coming face to face with the ma.s.sive human army.
A malicious glint appeared in Xing Hun’s eyes, when he received news of the demons’ approach.
This day had finally arrived. The time had come for the Heavenly Fiend Clan to welcome the golden age!
“Send forth the command for everyone to attack!”
Xing Hun could barely suppress the wild joy in his heart as he gave the order.
That command quickly spread throughout the entire army and it seemed that the battle would start at any time now. But a strange scene came to light.
All the troops remained unmoving even after receiving the order.
In particular, the Hua Xia troops situated right at the front had not moved an inch.
The Terminators had been all ready to activate their World-Termination-Armour, but stopped when they noticed the sudden silence.
What was going on?
Why were the other troops all not attacking?
The Terminators were befuddled and dared not make any abrupt moves.
Xing Hun was still waiting for the sounds of battle, but failed to hear anything even after a long period following his initial order.
At that, Xing Hun popped his head out of the horse carriage. He realized that an eerie calm had descended over the entire army. They were not in attack mode at all.
“What’s happening?” Xing Hun frowned as he scolded loudly.
It also puzzled the Divine Temple messenger. He had already sounded the signal to attack on the bugle horn, but these people appeared like they hadn’t heard him at all.
“Have the demons appeared?” Xing Hun pursued.
“Yes, they have appeared long ago,” The messenger answered.
Xing Hun frowned, feeling that things were not quite right.
Over the past three months, the various armies had been very responsive to his commands. Why had they suddenly turned this way at the most crucial moment?
“Go and take a look at what is happening.” Xing Hun turned to look at Long Yue.
Long Yue immediately alighted and sped towards the front.
The Hua Xia army were standing unmoving on the spot, looking straight at the demons on the opposite side.
Long Yue was angered at the sight.
“What are you all doing? Getting cold feet at the last minute? Is this what your Hua Xia people are like?” Long Yue chided the Hua Xia commander.
A masked Chi Tong turned to glance at Long Yue and sneered. “My Hua Xia army only follows the command of the Queen. Who the h.e.l.l are you!”
Long Yue’s face instantly turned black with rage.
He never expected the Kingdom of Hua Xia to turn on him at this critical moment!
“Good! I give it to you! Since you are so good, don’t move when the demons come attacking!”
Chi Tong gave a cold laugh and gazed towards the demons.
“Who said the demons are attacking?”
Chi Tong’s words startled Long Yue. He instinctively looked towards the demons’ side and discovered… the demons did not look like they had any intentions of attacking.
What the h.e.l.l was going on?
Were the demons not worried that the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed would be destroyed?
