Chain Lightning was the most powerful spell that Liang Lidong could use right now.
After the Chain Lightning passed, he heard the screams of the three demons gradually weaken, and then there was almost no sound. Then, he slowly walked over.
As soon as he turned the corner, he saw three almost charred shadelings lying on the ground. The air was filled with a burnt smell, mixed with the rotten smell of sulfur.
The smell of sulfur was common to most creatures in the Realm of Devils. After all, there were volcanoes almost everywhere, and the bodies of the creatures in the Realm of Devils contained sulfur more or less. The only exception was the succubi.
These creatures, which only had females, had no smell at all. They only had a special fragrance that could charm most creatures.
Liang Lidong covered his nose and chuckled. Then, he walked to the largest shadelings and kicked it hard.
The shadelings cried out in pain and woke up. But because of its heavy injuries, it seemed that only one of its claws could move. Seeing an enemy in front of it, it was about to wave its claws to attack the enemy, but Liang Lidong kicked over and pressed its claws heavily to the ground.
"Shadelings?" Liang Lidong threw a scroll on the ground and smiled at the same time, looking like a sinister villain in the movies. "Can you tell me if you're the minions of that Majesty in the Realm of Devils, or if you have other strongholds in the human world, and why you deliberately led Emma here?"
The shadelings' eyes were full of hatred. "Hehe, do you think we'll tell you? Despicable humans. "
Liang Lidong smiled. "Demons actually call humans despicable? Tsk, you shadelings have always loved ambushes. I'm just using the same method as you, and you actually call us despicable."
The shadelings snorted. There was no telling if it was because of disdain or because of the pain of its heavy injuries.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I have many ways to interrogate demons." A spot of light flashed on Liang Lidong's fingertip. "For example, light magic into the brain. What do you think?"
The shadelings' eyes were filled with fear. Then, his eyes glowed with a blue light. However, the Magic Scroll that Liang Lidong had tossed to him immediately took effect, directly shaking away all the Mana in the vicinity.
It couldn't self-destruct … but the Shadow Devil had another way. It tilted its head. Then, there was no more sound.
Liang Lidong was taken aback. He then used his psychic power to check and confirmed that the other party was really dead. He muttered to himself in surprise, "Dead? When did demons become so unyielding? First, they self-destructed. Are the demons learning from the Paladins now? "
It had to be said that it was a strange thing. It was very different from the demons that Liang Lidong knew. Yes, demons did have all sorts of emotions, but it was weird for them to kill themselves so straightforwardly and even use the phrase 'dying a martyr' to describe it.
If 10% of the demons in the Demon World had this attribute, then the human world would one day be conquered by them.
After all, regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or quantity, the Evil Demons were a force to be reckoned with. They were all much stronger than humans. If the Demon World was really united, not to mention the human world, even the Heavenly Realm would be in danger.
Liang Lidong then felt that he seemed to be thinking too much. If the Demon World was really so united, they would have attacked the human world long ago. Why wait until now?
He then left the cellar, returned to the castle, and knocked on Emma's door.
"Who is it?" After a while, Emma's voice sounded, with a vague sound of just waking up. It sounded very cute.
"It's me. Beta. "
Ah! A surprised and somewhat embarrassed voice sounded in the room, followed by the faint sound of something turning. After a while, wearing a long pink dress and pajamas, Emma opened the door. Emma, who was wearing a white velvet coat, opened the door. Only her head and half of her body were exposed.
Her pajamas were quite close-fitting, perfectly showing the girl's cute hips and the curve of her waist. It was absolutely the golden ratio, but half of her chest. However, it seemed to be very loose, which made it look very regrettable.
"What's the matter?"
Emma's little face had a faint blush. She looked at Liang Lidong with watery eyes. "You … What's the matter?"
It was no wonder she had such an expression. It was late at night, and a man was knocking on a girl's door. No matter how you looked at it, there was a hint of ambiguity.
At this time, she was also anxious and hesitating, if... just in case... Beta wanted to come into the room, should she allow it or not?
Thinking of this question, she felt that her face became hotter again.
But at this time, Liang Lidong said, "Just now, I found a cellar in the corner of the castle, and there were three demons inside."
His words were like a bucket of cold water poured from the sky, drenching Emma's heart. One demon in the castle was scary enough, and now Beta had found three more.
"Where did you find them?" Emma hurriedly opened the door. "Come in and tell me. I can't let the demons act in my territory."
Liang Lidong waved his hand. "Don't worry, I've already killed the three demons. I'm just telling you about it. After all, this is your territory. You don't have to look now. Their corpses shouldn't be able to escape. "
"No, this is a big deal," Emma said seriously. Emma seriously said, "Can you wait outside for a moment? I'll come out after changing my clothes."
"Okay, I'll inform Kail and Alice. They'll wait for you at the back door of the castle."
Emma agreed and closed the door. Liang Lidong went to inform Kail and Alice. About ten minutes later, the four of them gathered at the back door and walked to the cellar in the small forest.
The shadow demon's corpse was still in the cellar, but the smell of sulfur was stronger. This was a unique phenomenon after the death of a creature from the Realm of Devils. The sulfur in their bodies would evaporate faster, so the smell would get stronger and stronger. It would also speed up the decay of the corpse, so the smell would be very unpleasant after the death of a creature from the Realm of Devils.
Alice covered her nose. "This is the first time I've seen a creature from the Realm of Devils. It's disgusting."
Kail, on the other hand, walked around the bodies of the three shadow demons with interest. It was also his first time seeing a real creature from the Realm of Devils, so he was very interested.
Emma wasn't in a good mood. Now that demons had appeared in her territory, it meant that the territory had been infiltrated by creatures from the Realm of Devils.
She took a breath and said, "Let's go out and get someone to clean up the three corpses. We'll take them to the center of the city to be burned at the stake."
The so-called burning at the stake was a special ritual used to purify evil creatures. It was also a form of deterrence.
After saying that, Emma left the cellar first. She returned to her study and asked the butler, Joseph, to invite Caesar over.
It was already early in the morning. Caesar was in the encampment, discussing with a group of friends how to suppress people with his power. He was overjoyed when he suddenly heard the princess summon him. After spending some time to dress up, he rode his white horse and arrived at the castle in an elegant manner.
He had a strange feeling in his heart. He thought that the princess was going to look at him in a different light, or that she was going to favor him.
But very soon, Caesar knew that he was wrong, because he saw that the princess didn't look very good.
"Caesar, you know about the self-destruction of the demons yesterday, right?"
Caesar nodded. Almost everyone in the city knew that the princess killed a demon as soon as she returned, but he didn't understand why the princess asked that.
Emma patted the table and said, "Just now, Beta found three more demons in the castle. They were all shadow demons, and he killed them all."
Caesar frowned.
"I know that things like shadow demons are hard to find." Emma looked at Caesar. "But I think the Knight Order should've noticed some signs. Luckily, these demons were only monitoring the castle. If they did anything to the commoners, there would've been a lot of casualties. "
Caesar thought for a moment and said, "Our Knight Order has been stationed in the suburbs. Maybe that's why we didn't notice what happened in the castle. After all, without your summon, the Knight Order wouldn't enter the castle without permission. "
"I can understand that." Emma nodded and said solemnly, "But how did the Shadelings get in? I think the knights should take responsibility for that … From now on, your rest shifts will be halved. All of you will patrol the outskirts of the city, understand?"
Caesar stepped forward and suggested, "That's not very good, Princess. Many of the Knight Order are descendants of big families. I think we should recruit some mercenaries as peripheral personnel. This way, we can strengthen our defense. "
"If I need to recruit outsiders, then why would I need the Knight Order?" Emma smiled coldly. "If you don't want to do it, I can give each of you three years' salary. You can go home after you get it. I won't hold you accountable."
Caesar's expression changed. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I understand. I'll go back and arrange for them to patrol outside the castle."
Emma nodded. After Caesar left, she let out a sigh of relief.
As the daughter of the royal family and the Holy Virgin of the Storm Temple, she wasn't bad at politics despite her young age. She knew why the Knight Order was here. In fact, she had wanted to disband the Knight Order for a long time, but she couldn't find a chance. Now that there was a reason for her to be angry, she naturally wouldn't miss it.
If it were before, she wouldn't care about the Knight Order at all. But now that Beta had entered her heart, she felt that it was necessary to draw a line between herself and the Knight Order. If it didn't work, she would stay away from them.
After all, if the princess and the Knight Order were too close, it would definitely cause unnecessary speculation. She felt that this might make Beta unhappy.
She was very depressed now. She was very happy that Beta could come to her territory as a guest, but she didn't expect that he would encounter a demon. And it was Beta who found out both times. This made her feel very embarrassed as the owner.
In fact, this was not a big deal at all, but a young girl who was in love was extremely sensitive, and could be entangled in a little thing for a long time.
