The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1621 459: The Final Sacrifice! (Part 4)

Kelan looked at Selas in astonishment, a sudden heaviness settling in his heart.

He was not entirely ignorant of Chaos and had long suspected that some under his command were utilizing certain forbidden existences for power.

However, he knew well that his own strength was not enough to resist the King and the nobles, so he turned a blind eye to the "displays of skill" by his subordinates.

There was no other choice.

Whether Extraordinary Power or weapons, they wouldn't fall from the sky; they could only rely on the power available to them.

But even so, it was the first time someone mentioned the name "Urgos" so openly in a military meeting.

What surprised him even more was that the person who said this name was the usually unassuming "Quartermaster" Selas.

He had always thought that the chosen one was the "Longbowman" Rees.

In fact, those who had dealt with Chaos knew that guessing such things was meaningless, as clearly, they were all chosen.

Moreover, they were the fortunate ones who had reached the finals.

The difference was just between playing dumb while knowing and enjoying it knowingly.

Looking at Kelan, who was staring intently at him, Selas's smile widened, and he spoke in a tone both helpless and mocking.

"My dear 'Your Majesty,' we've come this far, are you still pretending to be naive? The Transcendent power you possess, is it not given by Urgos, or is it from Saint Sis?"

Kelan was speechless.

Under normal circumstances, he would have rebuked Selas for calling him 'Your Majesty,' but now he didn't even have the strength for that.

Rees glared at Selas, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"You haven't answered my question yet: after taking Twilight City, how do we hold it, and what is the point of holding it?"

They couldn't possibly fight two forces in Twilight City at the same time.

Especially since, so far, the King of the Ryan Kingdom was still watching from the sidelines, not even joining the table.

Selas smiled faintly, speaking softly.

"No need for you to worry about that. Once we capture Twilight City, we'll soon enter the final stage of the ritual."

"By then, you'll naturally understand how I plan to defend it, and what the purpose of defending it is…"

Rees stopped arguing with this lunatic, placing his last hope on Kelan.

Kelan's heart was in painful turmoil.

Reason told him that Rees was right, that retreating now was the only way, even if they would lose some manpower and prestige.

However, Selas's declaration of winning at all costs ignited the fire of idealism within him.

What if?

Just as Selas had pointed out, standing behind them was a Divine being from the Void—the Urgos from beyond the universal Star Sea!

That was a name that even made emperors tremble, neither Saint Sis nor the Demon God could match that guy!

The cards in their hands were strictly bigger than anyone else's!

After a long time, Kelan finally made up his mind, a hint of resolve flashing in his eyes.

"Fifty thousand is too few... I'll give you a hundred thousand!"

He looked at Selas, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Make sure to capture Twilight City within three days... Otherwise, as Rees said, we'll avoid the edge and withdraw to the forests of Twilight Province to regroup."

Selas showed a trace of surprise on his face, not expecting Kelan to be so generous, giving him a hundred thousand at once.

After all, the people he took would not return.

"A hundred thousand... that's certainly better."

The surprise on his face turned into a respectful smile as he bowed deeply to those faces filled with suspicion or trust.

"Within three days, I will make sure the Green Forest Army banner flies on the ramparts of Twilight City!"
