Chapter 872: Calm Down, Evil Wolf

"Oh my god!"

"Lord Canis has fallen in battle!"

"What do you mean fallen? He was obliterated in an instant!"

"What should we do?"

"Think of something, quick!"

At this moment, the city walls were in complete chaos due to Canis's death, like ants on a hot pan.

Especially Gou Da and Gou Er, who had already shrunk into a corner of the wall, trembling in fear.

"What's all this panic for?"

As the ultimate sycophant of Lord Evil Wolf, Silver Snake stepped forward.

"Even though Lord Canis has been defeated, we still have Lord Evil Wolf as our backbone, don't we?" Silver Snake shouted sternly, "Look at Lord Evil Wolf, is he panicking?"

Hearing Silver Snake's shout, everyone quickly turned their gaze to Evil Wolf.

Indeed.

Lord Evil Wolf stood there as usual, not showing the slightest bit of panic over the death of his twin brother Canis.

He stood tall and majestic, as steady as a mountain.

The panicked crowd suddenly found their anchor.

They looked over with admiration.

Lord Evil Wolf truly lived up to being the master of the Demon City; even when faced with such a threat, he showed no fear, truly a hero among wolves.

However.

Under the cover of dark mist, Evil Wolf's hands were trembling, and his lips had turned purple.

His teeth were chattering.

The reason he stood as steady as a mountain was that he had been utterly terrified when Canis was obliterated.

Others couldn't see his panicked state because of the dark mist enveloping him...

"Lord Evil Wolf is so calm, he must not be concerned about this person at all."

Silver Snake continued to flatter, thinking to himself how good he was at reading the room, seizing such an opportunity.

Unlike those idiots beside him, who were just panicking, completely unable to read the situation. Only he could see that Lord Evil Wolf was confident and composed.

"In that case, I beseech Lord Evil Wolf to take action and suppress this person, so that we, your subordinates, may witness your magnificence."

"Go to hell!"

Evil Wolf couldn't take it anymore and slapped Silver Snake off the city wall.

He was currently freaking out.

Damn it, Canis was stronger than him and got obliterated in an instant. What use would he be going up there?

He was considering how to quietly abandon the city and make a run for it, but this Silver Snake kept blabbering on, which was incredibly annoying.

However, with so many subordinates around, he had to maintain his composure.

With a wave of his hand, he led everyone away from the city wall and back into the hall.

"Ahem..."

"This person's strength is indeed beyond our expectations. The death of Canis is a significant loss."

"However, there's no need for everyone to panic too much. This city gate is protected by our demon clan's forbidden magic. Even if I or the late Canis were to attack, without lifting the forbidden magic, we couldn't pass through this gate."

"That human will definitely not be able to enter the Demon City!"

At the head of the hall, Evil Wolf tried to reassure everyone.

Going out to fight that human was absolutely out of the question.

Now, they could only rely on the city gate to hold.

At least the city gate was as he described, and it could hold for some time. Perhaps they could use this time to call for reinforcements.

So, it wasn't just to comfort others, but also to boost his own morale.

With this arrangement, Evil Wolf's trembling heart finally calmed down a bit.

Thank goodness.

Thank goodness he didn't run away immediately and didn't lose too much face in front of his subordinates.

Just as he was thinking this.

A wisp of dark mist rushed in, transforming into a demon who knelt down urgently, looking anxious.

"Lord Evil Wolf, the city gate has been breached."

The demon cried out anxiously.

Evil Wolf's hand trembled again, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Evil Wolf!

Stay calm.

Absolutely must not lose face in front of subordinates.

Maybe that human will just wander around the city a bit and then leave, without coming here to kill.

Evil Wolf suppressed his fear, desperately trying to comfort himself.

But the next moment.

Another shadow rushed in, kneeling down in terror.

"My lord, the human has already reached the outer city."

Evil Wolf shivered.

Thank goodness.

He carried his valuables with him, saving time on packing, so he could make a quick escape without any delay.
