Twisted Dreams

Chapter 380 - 448: East Sakura’s Blood Moon

East Sakura, Eastern Capital, Imperial Palace.

This estate is the residence of the East Sakura Royal Family.

In a traditional East Sakura-style living room, several senior officials of East Sakura are rarely gathered together.

This meeting was initiated by the Prime Minister.

The topic is simple, about how to deal with the Great Evil Demon King.

The Great Evil Demon King killed the head of the East Sakura Public Security Bureau in Ban City with lightning speed, as well as many dignitaries of Ban City, and even abducted the Bureau’s secretary to the harem before the public.

The Great Evil Demon King’s misdeeds did not stop there.

After that incident, before authorities could settle accounts with him, the Great Evil Demon King caused an even bigger issue.

That licentious and audacious fellow actually sent a witch to the Imperial Palace, demanding that a princess from the royal family serve him at the Great Evil Palace!

The East Sakura Royal Family values the purity of bloodline, and this act of the Great Evil Demon King truly touched the royal family’s deadly nerve.

The Minister of Finance was furious:

"The Great Evil Demon King’s lechery is really going too far!

How dare he show disrespect to the royal family!

Just a mere demon, yet dares to covet the princess’s beauty!"

The rest of the people angrily rebuked the Great Evil Demon King’s lustfulness.

The Prime Minister said:

"But the Great Evil Demon King has never seen the princess, so how could he know of her beauty?"

The Land General frowned and asked:

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

The Prime Minister picked up the teacup in front of him and said leisurely:

"The Great Evil Demon King is testing East Sakura’s bottom line.

He is like a newborn beast, determining his place in the food chain by challenging other beasts.

In other words, he is inquiring about his importance to East Sakura."

The Land General angrily slammed the table:

"How dare he! We must reject his rude demands and wage war against him!"

The Prime Minister held the teacup without drinking, lightly rubbing the edge with his finger, his gaze profound:

"But what if the Great Evil Demon King is indeed very important to East Sakura? Important to the extent that... it requires sacrificing the princess."

The Land General was dumbfounded.

A hint of sorrow crept up on the Prime Minister’s face:

"The revival of spiritual energy is an unstoppable trend, a great power of nature, beyond human control.

If at this time, East Sakura has the protection of an overwhelmingly powerful Extraordinary Creature, it might be a chance for East Sakura’s rise.

You should all be aware of the disaster caused by the Blood Moon event in Huaqi.

They wanted the protection of the Great Evil Demon King but had no chance.

Right now, the Blood Moon has already appeared outside."

The Prime Minister put down the teacup, sighing lightly:

"Moreover, we haven’t fully understood the Great Evil Demon King’s power.

What we currently know is that a heavily armed military unit was completely wiped out in Ban City.

Right, according to reliable sources, the Great Evil Demon King has the ability to traverse space.

If he wishes, none of us here can survive."

After these words, everyone fell silent, their fear and helplessness toward the Great Evil Demon King palpable.

A heavily armed force was wiped out in Ban City, yet the Great Evil Demon King remained unscathed.

Should we proceed with indiscriminate bombing of Ban City?

But can we disregard the civilians?

Moreover, whether it can even kill the Great Evil Demon King is uncertain.

At this moment, footsteps were heard.

Everyone looked toward the door.

A mature, beautiful woman walked in wearing a floor-length satin gown of the finest silk, embroidered with exquisite patterns.

The neckline was adorned with a circle of smooth pearls, each plump and radiating a gentle glow, complementing her fair skin.

Every stitch and thread was the work of the world’s top tailoring masters.

Her features were exquisite, her figure voluptuous and graceful.

Her eyes were like deep amber, with an innate majesty and nobility, unintentionally exuding a hint of captivating charm.

Her lips were like delicate rose petals, with slightly upturned corners holding a faint enigmatic smile, possessing the allure of ruling the world.

She had no name, her only name was Empress.

The Emperor of East Sakura had no other name or title.

The Empress, in her crystal high heels, walked gracefully to the main seat and sat down, looking up at everyone:

"Continue speaking; do not worry about me."

Many years ago, as a vassal state of Xia Country, the East Sakura Emperor referred to himself as ’Zhen.’

Eighty years ago, due to a great upheaval in East Sakura, the Emperor lost all real power and referred to themselves as ’I.’

This Empress is different; she seized real power in East Sakura, thus referring to herself as ’Gu.’

The Prime Minister straightened himself, facing the Empress with a solemn expression:

"If there comes a day when the happiness of the princess must be sacrificed for the sake of East Sakura, what will Your Majesty do?"

The Empress sat upright:

"It’s not just the happiness of the princess; even if it were my life, I would be willing."

The Empress’s voice was clear, yet not like the coquettish voices of ordinary beauties, but full of dignity.

Just then, a soldier hurried in from outside, saluting.

The Empress frowned:

"What is it?"

The soldier swallowed hard, saying with difficulty:

"Your..... Your Majesty, the Night Parade of Hundred Demons has appeared!"

Everyone was astonished at these words.

The Night Parade of Hundred Demons?

The legendary Night Parade of Hundred Demons in East Sakura?!

The Prime Minister shot up from his seat:

"Clarify!"

The soldier hastily said:

"After the Blood Moon appeared, a large number of demons appeared in the city!

Not only in the city, but also numerous supernatural creatures from the wild have formed an army, heading toward the city!

It seems they intend to siege the city!"

The Prime Minister immediately asked:

"What’s the situation in the Eastern Capital now?!"

The soldier turned pale, trembling as he spoke:

"There are too many demons wreaking havoc in the Eastern Capital, the Public Security Bureau and City Guard are trying to suppress them!

But, but, some demons cannot be understood by common sense.

The Eastern Capital is no longer safe!"

Another soldier rushed in, his eyes filled with panic:

"Your Majesty, those demons are coming for the Imperial Palace!

Your Majesty, the car is outside, please leave quickly!"

The Land General immediately spoke:

"I will deploy soldiers to guard the Imperial Palace!"

The Prime Minister’s phone rang, he received a video.

In the video, a large number of demons are wreaking havoc in the Capital.

Some of those monsters can spew fire, some are invulnerable to blades and bullets, while others possess immense strength.

They are like a well-equipped enemy army suddenly appearing in the Eastern Capital, delivering a lethal blow.

The Eastern Capital indeed has strong military reserves, but the City Guard was caught off guard by these suddenly appearing monsters.

These monsters are scattered throughout the Eastern Capital, making organized elimination impossible in such a short time.

Besides, it’s too late to support the Imperial Palace now!

The goal of those demons is clear, they are heading straight for the Imperial Palace!

Those monsters are running on the rooftops of the city as if on level ground, by the time the troops arrive here, the people in the Imperial Palace may have already been devoured by demons!

The Prime Minister quickly bowed to the Empress:

"Your Majesty, please leave the Imperial Palace quickly!"

The Empress’s beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance:

"The Eastern Capital has fallen, it’s better to defend the Imperial Palace and wait for the City Guard to suppress the demons."

After a brief moment of consideration, the Prime Minister bowed to the Land General:

"General Sato, please take command of the battle!"

He’s the only one here with the strategic mind for battle.
