Chapter 957: 957
"The full name of the Blood Lion Battalion is 'Blood Lion Independent Battalion'," Han Tuhu explained . "They added 'Independent' because the members of the Blood Lion Battalion are all the emigre nobles from the Heaven's Origin Sector . "
"Emigre nobles?"
Li Yao suddenly thought of Suo Chaolong, who had claimed repetitively that his ancestors were from the Grand Desolate Plateau .
Han Tuhu nodded . "The Heaven's Origin Sector used to be governed by the demons like the Blood Demon Sector . After the Star Glory Federation rose, in order to compete for the zone of survival, it demolished countless demon forces, the greatest two of which were the 'Far East Demon Kingdom' in the ocean to the east of the continent and the 'Alliance of Thirty-Six Demon Cities' on the Grand Desolate Plateau .
"When the two forces were destroyed, the melding of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector had already begun, and a lot of temporary wormholes appeared .
"Some of the demons from the Heaven's Origin Sector escaped to the Blood Demon Sector through the wormholes after their failure and became refugees .
"The demons who were capable of escape had largely been nobles when they were in the Heaven's Origin Sector . They were the silver-blood demons and brought a lot of assets and resources with them, including the secret treasures and training techniques that had been accumulated over thousands of years . In the Blood Demon Sector, where the 'Four Pillars System' was implemented, considering their bloodlines and the benefits that they brought, the local demons accepted them in the end .
"For a very long time that followed, the invasion that the Blood Demon Sector launched against the Heaven's Origin Sector was always under the banner of 'avenge our brothers of the Heaven's Origin Sector and help them get back their land' . Naturally, the demons had to find a justified reason for their invasion, too .
"However, the resources of the Blood Demon Sector are not endless . It is not hard to imagine that, after the honeymoon period was over, and the resources and secret arts they carried were drained, the emigre nobles from the Heaven's Origin Sector were less popular than before .
"Some of the refugees did not know what they were doing . For example, the refugees from the Far East Demon Kingdom even established a government-in-exile of the Heaven's Origin Sector in the Blood Demon Sector . That's nuts .
"Very soon, they were completely swallowed by the local demons of the Blood Demon Sector with one excuse or another .
"Suo Chaolong's ancestors were different . They were from the 'Alliance of Thirty-Six Demon Cities' on the Grand Desolate Plateau, whose capability was far lower than that of the Far East Demon Kingdom . Therefore, they knew exactly their position .
"After they escaped to the Blood Demon Sector, they understood the importance of maintaining a low profile very well . By way of adulation, they managed to cling to the superpowers and survive on . After generations of marriage, they finally secured their stance in the Kingdom of Lion Butchers .
"However, no matter how low-key they were, the stamp of 'refugees' on them was not going to die out quickly, especially at a time when the Blood Demon Sector was attacking the Heaven's Origin Sector . How should the 'refugees' be arranged if the Heaven's Origin Sector is really occupied? Offer the entire Grand Desolate Plateau to them so that they can reestablish their kingdoms? That's hilarious!
"Even if they never had such thoughts, will others believe them?
"Therefore, the local demons of the Blood Demon Sector have never been particularly fond of the emigre nobles .
"A very simple example . At the end of the Battle of Dawn, because of the mutiny in the frontline, almost all the silver-blood demons turned around and ran away .
"But the information was not delivered to the Blood Lion Battalion led by Suo Chaolong in time . Later, since they were left behind, they were naturally given the task of covering the retreat . They were asked to resist the pressure of three crystal suit legions . It was clearly a suicidal mission .
"This is the first clue about Suo Chaolong and his Blood Lion Battalion's standing in the eyes of leadership of the Pantheon of Demons .
"Elder Nether Spring chose to ambush the Blood Lion Battalion perhaps because he also knew that nobody in the Blood Demon Sector really cared about the refugees . If he needed silver-blood demons for his experiments, the refugees would be his best targets!
"Do you understand now? Suo Chaolong and the other 'refugees' have their own interests, and their interests and the interest of the Pantheon of Demons might not necessarily be the same . "
Li Yao narrowed his eyes, his bloody pupil rolling around and around . He nodded slowly . "Got it . It seems that I have to think carefully how I should 'persuade' Suo Chaolong and the 'emigre nobles' . "
…
In the warehouse where the Blood Lion Battalion was resting, the atmosphere was so gloomy that a cloud seemed like it would condense on the ceiling at any time .
Hundreds of heavily-wounded silver-blood demons were sitting or lying . They were coughing and vomiting blood, with devastation all over their face . They bulged their confused eyes but could not find a way ahead of them .
"Do you think that what 'Vulture Li Yao' said is true? Are human beings and demons really of the same origin?"
"It's false . Certainly false . It's an out-and-out lie!"
"Even if it is true, so what? It was forty thousand years ago . Who really gives a damn thing about it? I only want to know what we are going to do next . Are we going back to the base of the Blade of Chaos together with the rebellions obediently at their mercy?"
"Or what? Do you think that they will escort you back to the Kingdom of Lion Butchers respectfully?"
"Besides, look at what we are right now . Many brothers are showing the features of multiple kinds of demons . They are even more chaotic than the chaotic-blood demons! Some of the brothers have been deprived of all the demon features and now appear exactly like human beings!"
"Even if they let us go back to the Kingdom of Lion Butchers, do you dare return with such an appearance? Do you?"
Desperate humming sounds were hovering above everybody's head like mosquitoes that carried a lethal virus .
Suo Chaolong was squatting in a corner of the warehouse, staring at the floor at a loss .
A tiny ant on the floor was casually crawling far away .
