Chapter 224—The Ambush
A day later.
The wind rustled through the trees.
The leaves were shaking.
Averon stood on a broken stone, his eyes scanning the horizon.
Behind him, goblins and demons were preparing the temporary shelter.
Several goblins sharpened crude spears.
A few demon beasts stood guard along the perimeter.
Others were cooking meat over a small fire.
Averon glanced at the three demons standing nearby.
The powerful demon generals who had served the last Demon King.
Their expressions were respectful as they knelt.
One of them—the tall bat demon—said calmly, "My Lord… thank you for accepting us."
Averon watched them silently.
His eyes were calm.
But his mind was working. 'Do they have any hidden motive?'
He decided to stay careful.
Rejecting them was not an option—they had followed him for an entire day since he hadn't given an answer.
And killing them? His name as Demon King would be at stake.
What Demon King would kill demons who came to serve him?
