Chapter 474 - The Great Lord of the Earth
Throughout the years, both sides had stationed troops in this Eternal Demon Mountain Range. In the end, the more they approached the peak, the essence of immortal energy and rule power became more concentrated, making it a true paradise.
Therefore, there were many Demon Lords and quasi-emperors in the Demon Realm, who usually stayed here. The same goes for the Eternal Realm.
Before Cheng Ge went to war, the entire Demon Realm was already in an uproar. The troops stationed in this Eternal Demon Mountain Range certainly knew about it.
When it arrived, the four quasi-emperors led over a hundred Demon Lords to greet him.
"We pay our respects to the Earth Lord!"
"I am Bai Qi, the Ruler of the Imperial Leaf Region!"
A seven-headed fox emerged from the clouds and bowed to Cheng Ge.
On his side were three other quasi-emperor experts from the bear, leopard, and shark tribes.
"I am Xiong Wu, the Ruler of the Black Cavalry Region!"
"I am Bao Tun, the Lord of the Congyun Region!"
"I am Sha Rong, the Lord of the Tianbo Region!"
Behind these four quasi-emperors, over a hundred Demon Lords also paid homage to the Earth Sovereign.
With the Earth Demon Command in his hands, all quasi-emperors would have to lower their ranks one level before Cheng Ge.
"Very good!"
Seeing them bow to greet him, Cheng Ge smiled, feeling quite satisfied with himself.
"It seems that you guys don't know anything about the Eternal Demon Mountains," whispered Cang Ling from the darkness, sensing Cheng Ge's ignorance, she sent a message to tell him.
"On the opposite side of the Eternal Demon Mountains in the Eternal Realm, there are eighteen thousand forts, and on our side in the Demon Realm, there are thirty-six thousand forts."
"Among them, every fortress was led by a Demon King!"
"Every thirty-six fortresses form one territory, which has a Sovereign in charge, held by early stage quasi-emperors."
"Every thirty-six regions make up one realm, which has a responsible Ruler of Nature, held by a middle-stage quasi-emperor. Yikong was the previous Ruler of Nature."
"The Eternal Demon Mountains were divided into three main lines of defense: the left, middle, and right battlefields. Each battleground was under the jurisdiction of more than ten realms. Right now, we are within the scope of the left battleground."
"Five quasi-emperors of the final stage of the left battleground ruled together and were known as Kings!"
"Kings?"
Cheng Ge found this title somewhat amusing, like an emperor from the mortal world.
"Hmph ..."
Cang Ling continued to tease her, "Don't have fun laughing at others when you don't even realize that you're considered inferior."
"You, in the end, are the Ruler of the Earth, superior to all quasi-emperors."
"According to reason, when you go to war in person, not only do the Kings of the left battleground have to come to greet you, but also the other Kings of the middle and right battlefields, as well as the defense chiefs of the Eternal Demon Mountain Range, all of them should come to pay their respects and take your orders!"
Cheng Ge was surprised, "Do I really have that much authority?"
How much power does he have as the Earth Sovereign that he has established?
Originally, he had joined the Demon Realm only to obtain a legitimate identity.
"What do you think?"
Cang Ling calmly said, "The defense chiefs of the Eternal Demon Mountain Range, the Kings, Realm Lords, and Region Lords are all appointed by the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, they are basically your subordinates."
"As for the Demon Kings guarding each fortress, they are not even comparable to your personal attention. They are usually raised through discussion among themselves."
"But you .. are just lazy and stupid. You don't even know the extent of your own strength."
Cheng Ge stroked his chin and realized that he was truly considered lowly.
Not only did a single King come to greet him, only one Natural Sovereign and three Region Sovereigns came.
Perhaps, this was because they were closer and had no choice but to come.
As it turned out, Cang Ji, Yi Kong, and Mo Yang, who all knew about the situation, were furious.
"Where are the five King battlefields left?"
"Why are you the only ones coming?"
Hearing this, the fox quasi-emperor Bai Qi did not panic and replied casually.
"We apologize, but the recent fighting has been fierce, and the other Kings and Lords of Nature are busy with official duties."
"If they were to leave their respective defense areas, what if the Eternal Realm were to attack?"
Of course, he did not take his Clan Blue Dragons seriously.
Yikong laughed cynically, "How can the battle be fierce? Do you think I've never lived on the front lines?"
"At most, the Eternal Realm will send some Immortal Kings to harass us, and the quasi-emperors might not even act for hundreds of millions of years!"
"I can't believe they can't spare time."
Bai Qi and the other three quasi-emperors looked at each other.
Only then did Bai Qi speak, not in a condescending or arrogant manner, "You've already demoted, so you don't know the current situation on the front line."
"You!"
Yikong was almost enraged, but Cheng Ge stopped him.
"Alright, alright! We came here to fight, not to inspect."
He looked at Bai Qi, a quasi-emperor with seven tails.
"So, now you're under my command, right?"
When the Earth Ruler went to war, the assigned battle zone had to absolutely obey his orders and fight together with him.
Seeing that Cheng Ge did not react angrily, Bai Qi thought he was afraid to break ties and chose to budge, so he became calmer.
(Late of this chapter)
Reporting to the Land Department Leader, due to the presence of a tight defense area, most of the lords, under the command of Emperor Yejing, had been moved to another defense zone.
"Right now, we can only gather some quasi-emperors and demon kings."
This is clearly a lie.
Emperor Yejing had a total of 36 quasi-emperors under his command. Even if there was no ongoing war, there could not be only three masters and a hundred demon lords left.
Cheng Ge remained non-committal and responded by asking, "Oh, is that it?"
"So, this is the power you can put in place" the person replied.
Beside them, Yikong could not help his anger and pointed angrily at Bai Qi while saying, "You're talking nonsense, you're ruining the Head of the Land Department!"
Bai Qi replied sarcastically, "Yikong, please don't talk recklessly!"
Three other quasi-emperors spoke.
"Right, Yikong, if you continue to take out your nonsense, we will report it to the Heavenly Department and demand an explanation!"
"We have always been loyal to Wan Yao Palace, shed blood on the frontlines, and sacrificed for the demon realm!"
"The head of the Heavenly Department will give justice to us!"
In their words and implications, they tried to exert pressure on the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor, the Head of the Heavenly Department, to pressure Cheng Ge.
"Alright, alright, I can feel your loyalty," Cheng Ge replied as if he understood nothing, and even calmed them down with a smile.
"Don't feel persecuted, follow me and do your best. There will be great achievements!"
Bai Qi and the other three quasi-emperors were a little confused.
They were actually waiting for Cheng Ge to get angry, then slowly distract him and give him some trouble, so he did not know where to throw his frustration.
This was also the instruction given by the five superiors above them.
In any case, they try their best not to cooperate with the action, following in a visible manner while refusing to contribute, while secretly creating obstacles.
Thinking of how all the previous Heads of the Land Department were from the Qilin Clan, they knew which stronghold this war zone leader was in.
They were eager to see the newly-inducted Head of the Land Department fail the battle.
But Cheng Ge did not respond, which meant they could not use the many anticipatory measures they had prepared.
They could only follow him all the way to the Immortal and Demon Mountain, filled with doubts and exchanging personal messages on the way.
"Is he pretending?"
"I don't think so, he seems to really understand nothing."
"No way, after all he is the Head of the Land Department."
"Be careful, try to protect ourselves as much as possible from behind, let him go forward and sacrifice himself."
"Understanding, we're not going to foolishly charge forward."
