Chapter 430: The Questions About Helcrown
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hao Ren felt that he had to learn his lesson, which was never poke the most sensitive sensory organs of a canine— especially when you stood on her nose. Lily was agitated by the spear tip and sneezed, and Hao Ren was blown away and smashed into the demons which was trying to get to its feet...

Hao Ren felt like he had collided with a steel plate, and learned firsthand how hard the body muscles of the demon was. The demon had woken up from its stupor and grabbed the neck of Hao Ren, trying to reverse the situation: Unfortunately, he had grasped a guy who was tougher than itself.

Hao Ren's Steel Membrane Shield gave out shining sparks as the demon's big hand grabbed him. Lily took the opportunity and pounced at the demon. As they fell to the ground, Lily opened her ghastly mouth and bit down. Hao Ren tacitly dodged and let Lily's fangs planted in the demon commander's neck.

"Don't move!" Hao Ren shouted in demonic language as he jumped back on Lily's back and stood together with Vivian. "My fierce dog grew up eating demons – where is the person in charge? "

As Hao Ren's voice trailed off, Vivian smacked him with a look: "Are you brain dead? Isn't he the one?"

Hao Ren scratched his hair embarrassingly. After making sure the surrounding demons and dark dwarfs did not react rashly, he motioned Lily to let off her bite. The demon commander was still struggling to break free from the Lily's paws whose brute strength even Y'zaks might find it hard to contain, not to mention the demon was just a grassroot officer. Hao Ren glanced down at the demon, trying to communicate with it: "Don't panic. We are not enemies, the mad demon king and us are friends. Please ask your men to back off and promise not to attack again, I have something to talk to you."

The demon commander looked puzzledly at the human who was wielding a weird weapon, and the big dog which was pinning it on the ground. Then it nodded its head.

The dark dwarfs and demons nearby retreated slightly while those obsidian colossi' eyes dimmed. Hao Ren jumped down to ground and pointed his spear at the devil commander;s neck, so that Lily could carefully let off her paws. The demon commander got to its feet slowly and cautiously with the spear to his neck. It seemed to have noticed that Hao Ren and his companions weren't hostile, it relaxed its muscles.

Hao Ren glanced slightly at the direction of La Nina, realised the latter hadn't the intention to reveal herself as she was covering her face with a hood.

There was an unknown 'Y'zaks' in town, both the voice and the appearance of which were similar to the genuine one. It was very difficult to tell its identity and motivation. So it was just as difficult to tell whether these remnants of the demonic army were on their side? If La Nina revealed herself suddenly at this time, it was difficult to say what reaction the the demon king impersonator in Helcrown would have—after all, La Nina is the confidante of Y'zaks, it was easy for her to spot the difference.

She might be in the midst of finding the right timing to reveal herself.

"You are the remnants of the mad demon king?" Hao Ren made sure the demon commander was under his control as he pondered way to get information about the situation in Helcrown, "Weren't Helcrown destroyed and Y'zaks dead?"

"How dare you call the king by his name!" These were the first words out of the demon commander's mouth, but it was also greatly surprised that there was still people in this world dared to mention the king's name, even worse was it was a human. What this human was doing here?

Hao Ren scratched his hair with the other hand and said, "I don't care about that, I'm not with the Allied Army and neither I'm an enemy of the demon king's army. I'm here because we've learned that the dead mad demon king has reappeared. How could that possible?"

While he was asking, his eyes were on Helcrown looking for movement. Although they were within the blind spot just below Helcrown, those demons in the city must have realised something was wrong as it had been quite a while since they last sent their small forces down here. Hao Ren didn't know when those demons would come down to check—if the fake Y'zaks were to come down personally, it would be better as Lanina and Y'zaks could confirm its identity.

The demon commander, while wondering where these weird guys came from, it responded by holding its head high: "I don't know who you are, I'm not bound to answer your question—anyway, our king has been alive and kicking since the very beginning."

Hao Ren's brows knit together: "You mean, the 'mad demon king' has been with you from the beginning? He's not dead?"

The fake Y'zaks above had never left Helcrown from the very beginning? He didn't come out from nowhere?

The demon commander didn't say a word, but its attitude had said it all.

Hao Ren thought for a moment, and he still had some questions in his mind. At that moment, La Nina suddenly came up from behind, she gave Hao Ren a look as if telling him not to worry, then she removed the hood. The dark dwarfs and demons were stunned.

The henchman of the demon king seldom made appearance in public but the First Legion stationed in Helcrown knew her well. Her sudden appearance had caught everyone by surprise as the demon commander said in a quivering voice, "The...the great sage?"

Hao Ren was thinking to make a grand appearance with Lanina but the moment he heard the title his eyes were on stalks. He looked at Lanina, perplexed: "The Great Sage? How did you get that title?"

"I was a strategist of the empire, so if I'm not called a great sage, what else? A general?" Lanina shrugged, "Is the title strange?"

Hao Ren thought for a long moment. He was too embarrassed to admit that comparing to 'the great sage' title of Lanina, his other team members had rather out-of-style title—husky, poor vampire,mantis shrimp, good guy, Wang Daquan.

As if Nangong Wuyue had the same thinking as Hao Ren, she said quietly to him, "Finally there's someone with a normal title in our team..."

Hao Ren covered his face: he felt the biggest weirdness now was this normal title...

Lanina waved and motioned her former comrades to quiet down, as she looked the the demon commander calmly. "It's me—now what's happening in the city? How did you survive? Who is in charge now?"

The demon commander immediately stood uprightly as if by reflex. "Yes, Great Sage! The city is fine! We were drawn into another dimension but suffering no damage. The king is safe, he presides over the city!"

"Great," La Nina nodded, pointing her hand to Hao Ren and the others. "They are my friends. Don't worry, they are quite trustable. After I was separated from the main forces, I had inadvertently entered the human world and was lucky to be taken care of by them. They are my allies for many years. Though they didn't join the demon army, they had been very helpful all this while."

Lanina lied but there was no way the demon commander was going to suspect her because she had obviously given thought to the lie beforehand. The demon commander believed them as it said with a wacky smile on his face just like Y'zaks, "I apologise for the misunderstanding just now. But how did come with the Allied Army?"

"We needed a cover in the Demonic Plane. It was better to pose as human in the Allied Army which was easier to reason with rather than running undercover among the unreasonable demons" La Nina stared into the demon commander's eyes, "Since the city is fine, then let us in. I'll confirm with the King about what had happened all this while."

Devil commander responded normally. It nodded with joy: "Of course, we"ll call the portal."

Then it grinned: "Great Sage, your safe return is the greatest good news, the king will be very happy. With your help, the people in the city will be having more peace of mind. The rebuilding of the legion should be able to start soon."

La Nina just nodded slightly before she asked casually, "Is the king injured? Is He resting in this city all this while?"

"Yeah, he's been in town all the time, working on some power reactor. He seldom appears in public."

"Studying power reactor?" La Nina's brows pulled together slightly before relaxing. "Oh well, then please open the portal."
