The messengers sent by the raiders all brought gifts. There were dozens of corpses of Rakshasa who were first burned by lightning and then stabbed with swords and spears.
According to Rakshasa customs, seven out of ten messengers going to the enemy camp will be killed. But this time, although the attitude of the five tribes was not friendly, no one killed the messenger of the looting army. The generals of the Ice Blood Stone Family even killed the envoys sent by Black Leaf Castle and sent them back as a return gift.
Li Bochen questioned the general in detail about his words and deeds, and believed that he was most likely a spiritual master. Combined with the customs and customs of the demonic realm that he learned from Yang Baoping, he realized that there seemed to be an extremely large number of spirit masters in this land that was frozen all year round. I wonder if this is related to the fact that those who believe in demons are often cruel and evil.
Now he knew that the purpose of last night's battle had been achieved. The Rakshasa family watching the battle realized who was more powerful, Blackleaf Castle or the Plundering Army. Although Nagu said when he asked for reinforcements that this human army would sweep across the entire Baizuyuan once it established a foothold, the tradition of Rakshasa has always been to "do the immediate things first, and then look to the future." Therefore, no one really intends to join forces with them to fight against the enemy.
Li Boxen knew that the time had come, so he told Xu Cheng that he could make the next plan.
But Na Gu angrily announced a meeting after returning to the fort, claiming to discuss the next march plan, and vowed to drive those humans out of Bai Zuyuan to avenge their shame.
But not long after the door to the hall was closed, people heard roars and fighting sounds coming from inside. When the door was opened again, several important leaders of the Black Leaf family who participated in the meeting had been killed by the clan leader.
This kind of thing is not unfamiliar among Rakshasa, so almost everyone understood what was going to happen - the clan leader believed that it was impossible to defeat the enemy troops outside the city, so he decided to burn the city. By then, Black Leaf Castle will be burned into ruins, and everyone will be killed after burning the city. If not, once the fortress is captured by another family, they will also die, but they will die as meat, which is even more miserable.
As a result, the old, weak, women and children in the fort began to wait for the day when disaster would strike.
But they were only half right. But Na Gu did want to kill quite a few people in the fort, but not to leave any meat for the enemy, but to please the secret spirit Baishi Zhenjun he worshiped. After returning to Black Leaf Castle and before convening a meeting, Lord Baishi communicated with him directly in an extremely rare moment, telling him that the commander of the human army was also a spiritual master. If you want to win, the true king must defeat the secret spirit enshrined by the commander, and for this, a large number of sacrifices are required.
But Na Gu therefore made a desperate move, first killing all those who might oppose him, and then issued an order: The Demon Lord needed a blood sacrifice to save Black Leaf Castle, and there must be two hundred sacrifices in the castle, all on their own free will. If there are no volunteers after one day, he will select them himself.
As a result, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Selecting two hundred volunteers is actually not difficult at all. Although no one wants to volunteer, everyone also hopes that others will volunteer. So the action of helping each other began. In the morning of that day, there were dozens of volunteers lying on the ground in the streets and alleys of the fort.
It was at this moment that Lu Ruiya said to the eager Lixie: "Don't you want to kill your father, the patriarch? Now is a good opportunity."
Rikishi is sharpening the knife. He frowned and said, "Why do you want to kill him now? Haven't you heard? We need two hundred sacrifices - I have to work on the sacrifices."
Noah whispered: "Did you know that after he came back, he asked me to ask you to go to the meeting hall? But I said it would be difficult for me to find a good guard like you, so he didn't insist on his opinion."
Lixie stopped sharpening the knife, frowned and thought for a while: "You think I'm a pretty good guard? But I don't do anything. I just follow you around every day - when will you dig out your other one?" Eye?"
"This is not about the guards." Noya said patiently, "but if you had gone to the meeting hall before, you would have died. You are the eldest son of the patriarch, and now he has lost an arm and lost so many warriors - if You are a person who wants to replace him, what will you do? You will take this opportunity to kill him. He is afraid of this, so he will take action first. But Lixie, think about it, you will be afraid of a swollen head Beast?"
Lixie thought for a while before saying, "Why should I be afraid of that thing?"
Noya said: "Yes. Because the swollen-headed beast can't hurt you. But will you be afraid of Bai Zuyuan's ferocious beast?"
Lixie grinned: "No one is afraid of it."
"So do you understand now?" Noah asked.
Lixie frowned and thought for a while, then raised her eyebrows: "I am the father of the clan leader!"
"But you can't do this by yourself. The people killed by Que Na Gu have family members, and they will want revenge. And you are the son of the clan leader, so it is justifiable to replace you. You should find those people and unite to kill you. The patriarch’s father.”
Lixie sighed: "You are also a spirit master, right? My father is also a spirit master, so he understands so many difficult things. How about I stop being your bodyguard and you be my fire bearer - you Tell me what to do."
Noah smiled and said: "There's no problem at all."
As a result, things turned out to be surprisingly simple - but Nagu never thought that his son would dare to declare war on him at such a time, and was killed that afternoon. This is because after the "sacrifice" began, the Shiraishi Lord he worshiped abandoned him immediately. Having lost the power of the spirit master and one arm, Na Gu lost his strength, and the killing in the meeting hall and his son's resistance caused him to lose his authority. Without these two things, the leader of the Rakshasa clan couldn't survive in the Black Leaf Castle even if he was already in the realm of dragon and tiger. It only took a quarter of an hour from his head to be chopped into pieces.
Then all the Rakshasa in Blackleaf Castle began to kill each other, and almost no one cared about what was going on outside.
Noah opened the city gate, and the plundering army quickly entered the city. The Rakshasa people had no chance to organize effective resistance or burn the city. They were very energetic when they were killing each other, but they became very timid when they encountered real enemies. After only a slight contact in the large square inside the main entrance, they immediately collapsed. At ten minutes after sunset, Black Leaf Fort became the only fortress on Baizu Plain that remained intact even after being captured by the enemy for hundreds of years.
However, the real troubles had just begun after entering the city. Although Black Leaf Castle was built of stone and steel, to Li Boxen it was just a puddle of mud. The first problem he faced was how to deal with more than 600 prisoners.
