Chapter 1389: Chapter 520: Ambitious Harrison_1

"Run, run!"

"The humans are attacking!"

"It’s so terrifying! I heard that they practice their skills by using demons, and they can suck a strong male demon dry with just one bite!"

"Their leader is cruel and lustful. He especially likes fox demons, rabbit demons, and snake demons. If they catch any, they will torture them to death... You don’t have to run since you’re a pig demon. Fish demons? Fish demons have it the worst, being skinned alive!"

Even before Sun’s army arrived, various rumors had filled Pidru City. When the Demon Clan attacked, the humans were panic-stricken, and now that the humans are fighting back, the demons are no different.

Originally, the human race did not have such a terrifying reputation among the demons, but that all changed after Sun used his sword to annihilate the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest. As a side effect of this one strike, the Swordswoman’s attitude toward Sun suddenly improved. Sun had many magic treasures and weapons, but there was no doubt that his greatest skill was now swordsmanship.

In the Swordswoman’s judgment: those who can handle swords will not have bad characters.

By the time the army arrived outside the city, 70 to 80 percent of the ordinary demons in Pidru City had already fled. The city’s garrison Demon General was a Tier-5 Tiger Demon named Larry Ford, who also wanted to run, but dared not to.

According to legend, Pidru City was named after a major defeat the demons suffered. They had been driven out of the central Eastern Land by the humans, and even their territories in the northwest’s Bleak Mountains and Sinister Waters were in danger of falling. A Great Demon built this city to rally the remnants of the defeated demon army and resist the human forces.

He killed 1,080 human cultivators and made their skin into 1,080 war drums. Each time they fought against the humans, they would beat these drums, making the humans’ courage wane while boosting the demons’ morale, ultimately stabilizing the frontlines and gradually reclaiming the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest.

Even now, these human-skin war drums were still preserved in Pidru City, secretly stored in the city’s treasury, as a precious artifact that wouldn’t be taken out lightly.

However, Sun didn’t believe these legends at all. If the demons were still capable of killing 1,080 human cultivators in one go after their major defeat, why would they have retreated so desperately?

After setting up camp, Sun ordered Harrison, "Surrender or be killed by our forces." Both Harrison and Rock George were at the Seventh Level, and Pidru City was currently weak, offering the two a chance to conquer the city single-handedly.

Harrison had someone shoot the surrender letter into the city, and a small demon picked it up and immediately handed it to Demon General Larry Ford. Hearing the demon’s name, Larry Ford thought... this must be the poorly regarded child in the family.

While Tiger Demons were naturally gifted among demons, Larry Ford was still only Tier-5. Although Pidru City was a large city, it was tucked behind the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest, making for an awkward position. If they waged war with the humans, the spoils of battle would be credited to the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest and have little to do with Pidru City. However, if the Eight Cities of Swallow Nest were breached, Pidru City would immediately suffer as well.

In fact, Larry Ford’s parents were exceptional, but their relationship with each other was rather "open". In addition to his father, Larry Ford also had a biological dad. He had dozens of siblings in similar situations as him.

This peculiar upbringing led to Larry Ford developing a strange disposition. He wanted to flee but dared not to — the Nine Witch Demon Court had always executed any generals who deserted the battlefield on the spot. Just as Larry Ford was agonizing over his decision, he received the surrender letter and was overjoyed. He immediately gathered his ragtag group of subordinates and announced, "I’ve decided to fake surrender flexibly!"

His subordinates looked at each other, puzzled: What did he mean? They were all adept at flexible tactics, but how could they be flexible in faking surrender? As everyone was scratching their heads, a round of applause suddenly erupted from the subordinates, praising Larry Ford’s plan as ingenious.

This subordinate sat to Larry Ford’s left. Thin and small, he would be completely invisible if viewed from Larry Ford’s right side, hidden by his Tiger Demon’s massive stature.

He stepped out from the shadow of the hulking Tiger Demon, revealing that he was actually a human, bent by age, blind in one eye, and had a goatee like a rat. He had both the qualities of a "dog-headed strategist" and a "degenerate human being".

But the other subordinates dared not underestimate him. It couldn’t be denied that humans had clever minds, and this man, who claimed to be the "Blind Wiseman," was highly valued by Larry Ford. He could always come up with some cunning and deceitful tricks. Worst of all, he was good at flattering!

Larry Ford’s tiger eyes shone brightly: "Sir, do you understand my intentions?"

"Your wisdom is unparalleled, General. I don’t dare boast that I can fully grasp your intentions, but I would like to venture a guess and offer my humble analysis of your strategy. If I fall short in any way, please do not hesitate to correct me."

Larry Ford waved his hand in satisfaction: "Go ahead."

"Yes, I think we should not confront Sun’s powerful forces directly right now. However, since there are no reinforcements from the Demon Court yet, we should temporarily surrender, while also sending a letter to the Demon Court, claiming that our surrender is a ruse and that we are secretly waiting for an opportunity to strike from within Sun’s ranks!

If the Demon Court’s reinforcements arrive, we can rise up in response under Sun’s command!

If, however, the Demon Court is at a disadvantage in the war... we could continue lurking and even stay hidden indefinitely if need be. As the first Demon General to surrender, Sun may be suspicious but will not really harm us. He wants us as a symbol of his prestige and victory."
