Chapter 2458 - 1085: Fence-Sitter (Part 3)
Veen relentlessly continued: "There is something you might not know, Lord Ubar has already formed a strategic alliance with the Undead Emperor to jointly fight against the threat posed by Demon Prince Demogorgon.As one of Okas’s greatest undead creations, getting involved with your master’s enemy’s mistress is not a wise choice.
And do you think Lord Ubar only has me as a pawn?
Before long, fears are that Micanthix will be overwhelmed and won’t have the energy to continue this war.
How much turbulence can a single Abyssal Invader really cause?"
Who knows which word stirred the Ghoul King to finally make up his mind, "Fine, I am willing to obey Lord Ubar’s orders, take a neutral stance on this war, and not send my ghouls to join any side."
This war gave him a deeper understanding of one truth.
Greed is an original sin.
Because of greed, he lost soldiers before that Abyssal Invader.
Because of greed, the King of the Jackalweres was overthrown, ended up being completely besieged.
Because of greed, the Queen of the Succubi could possibly be invaded by her arch-enemy, Prince Ubar.
Now it was time for him to make a choice again, if he continued to be greedy, what would he face?
Apart from the wrath of Prince Ubar, there would be a powerful new neighbor.
Let them bite each other like dogs.
He should seize the chance to completely destroy the Howling Peaks on the Bone Plane, so that, no matter who gains control of Yenogu’s Realm, they won’t continue to pose a threat to him.
"Very good." Veen showed the first smile since his appearance, "You’ve made a wise choice, Lord Ubar will not forget this."
Being able to have a large army retreat just with the power of speech is something unprecedented, even for Veen, worthy of being remembered in the history of the Bottomless Abyss, becoming part of his great achievements, which are often linked to strength.
The reason he tirelessly acts as the messenger of Prince Grazte of the Ubar is naturally for the corresponding benefits he can harvest in the process.
There are the direct benefits contributed by various demon lords, as well as the intangible benefits brought by a powerful reputation.
What can generate faith is not just belief, but also fear and dread; it is the latter that those Demon Gods primarily use to collect faith.
"Please speak well of me in front of Lord Ubar, I hold him in utmost respect, if there is any need, just order." The Ghoul King took the opportunity to flatter.
He has great potential to become the King of Flattery.
First the King of the Jackalweres, then the Abyssal Invader, turning his head he entered the embrace of the Queen of the Succubi, and now again obeying Grazte’s orders.
The fence-sitter can be said to have reached an extreme, and most of the time, he manages to stand on the right side, reaping not insignificant benefits.
"When is Lord Doreisan planning to start?" Veen asked.
He wouldn’t trust the promise of an extreme fence-sitter; with a change in the wind, the other’s attitude could make a complete 180-degree turn.
"It can start now." The Ghoul King, though a fence-sitter, is also a man of action.
The two are not contradictory.
Once he made up his mind, he would immediately spring into action.
Of course, there is a huge incentive involved as well.
The moment he made the decision was also when a major disturbance appeared in Yenogu’s Realm, brought by the return of the true body of the King of the Jackalweres.
The deep meaning represented within is self-evident.
That Prince Grazte of the Ubar and Yenogu have reached a cooperation agreement is not just idle words but has truly happened, with the return of the true body of the King of the Jackalweres being the first step.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Explosions rang out one after another on the battlefield.
The ghouls directly pounced on the nearest Abyssal Jackalweres, and exploded with them.
Since they were to be transformed into soul energy and return to the God Kingdom, they shouldn’t go to waste, launching a final round of slaughter against the Abyssal Jackalweres to bring back a little more soul, and more energy if possible.
The Voice of Grazte only watched coldly on the sidelines and did not intervene.
After all, his goal was simply to get the Ghoul King to withdraw his army, and now that the goal was achieved, whether the process has some twists, or damages the interests of the King of the Jackalweres, he did not care, and believed Prince Ubar wouldn’t either.
The Abyssal Jackalweres were obviously given orders, and they rushed away like a tide, in the direction far from the Ghoul Army.
It wasn’t that Veen and the King of the Jackalweres were in communication, but that the King of the Jackalweres had formally begun the full-scale siege against the Queen of the Succubi.
The Ghoul King regretfully sighed, could only order most of the ghouls to self-destruct on the spot, turning into soul energy to return to his God Kingdom.
Veen’s indulgence had its limits, there was no way he would watch as his ghoul army marched into Yenogu’s Siege, harvesting Abyssal Ghouls on a large scale.
The entire battlefield was interconnected.
As soon as the Ghoul King took action on this side, the Undead Slaughter Army immediately received the news.
Having transformed into the Goddess of Revenge, the Burning Flames Queen fumed, "Fence-sitter, that shameless fence-sitter Doreisan, I knew we shouldn’t trust him at all, given any chance, he would betray us without hesitation!"
In contrast, Gaven remained calm, saying, "This was expected, what’s there to get angry about? We have already completely transferred our territory to Yenogu’s Realm, he at most just no longer fights alongside us, but can’t harm us."
From the start, he had not held any high hopes for the Ghoul King and Queen of the Succubi.
Upon hearing that they encountered problems over there, naturally, he would not feel disappointed or caught off guard.
"Fortunately, the master had foresight." The Flame of Revenge calmed down a lot upon hearing this, praising, "If we had stubbornly held onto the Plains of Bone, we would now be facing an unfavorable situation of fighting on two fronts.
This betrayal must not be forgiven, once we capture the entirety of Yenogu’s Realm, we shall immediately lead the army back, making that fence-sitter submit beneath the master’s feet."
"That is a matter for the future, for now, you should go meet that emissary of Prince Ubar for me." Gaven was very wary of these demon lords, especially Prince Grazte of the Ubar, renowned throughout the Multiverse.
This guy spares no means to achieve his ends.
There is no guarantee he wouldn’t send a demon assassin to lurk in the shadows, to ambush when meeting with the envoy.
Or perhaps the envoy himself is a powerful assassin.
His own relative fragility is his fatal weakness.
The best way to protect a weakness is to hide it, so the enemy can’t find it at all.
