Chapter 873: The City Wide Plan

At this moment.

It was clear to anyone with eyes that no one in the Demon City could stop that human.

Everyone was deeply troubled.

The Demon City was their stronghold, and those seated here held significant positions within it.

No one wanted to abandon the Demon City unless absolutely necessary.

Even the scheming Wolf, who had been considering fleeing, was no exception.

After all, he was the city lord.

Reaching this position had not been easy, so he would only choose to flee as a last resort.

Before reaching that point, he would try every possible means to salvage the situation.

But.

That human was so powerful—what could possibly be done?

The grand hall fell silent.

An oppressive atmosphere filled the room as no one dared to speak.

"Lord Wolf, I have a plan."

Just as Wolf was reluctantly preparing to give up, Gou Da suddenly stepped forward.

All eyes turned to Gou Da in unison.

"Da, what brilliant idea do you have? Speak quickly."

At this moment, Wolf was as gentle as a doting father, gripping Gou Da's hands tightly, speaking with a mix of urgency and warmth.

"My lord, do you remember how my brother and I managed to escape disaster outside the city?"

Gou Da asked.

"He mistook the two of you for humans, which is why he didn't..."

Halfway through his sentence, Wolf suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "You mean?"

"Exactly, my lord. I propose a city-wide transformation plan," Gou Da strategized. "All demons will transform into humans, making that human believe this is a human city, not a demon city!"

"That way, he won't continue his slaughter."

Hearing this.

Wolf's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh in excitement.

"Brilliant plan!"

Wolf clasped Gou Da's shoulders.

"Da, you truly are a loyal servant of our demon race. I accidentally hit you earlier—does it still hurt?" Wolf patiently comforted Gou Da. "Da, please don't hold a grudge against me. Being a city lord is tough! With such a formidable enemy at our gates, I had to use you to stabilize morale. You're a key minister, and for the sake of the Demon City, there was no other choice."

"Wuwu, my lord, don't say anymore. My brother and I are loyal to you unto death."

After being sweet-talked, Gou Da felt elated and immediately pledged his loyalty.

"Da, since that's the case, quickly finalize the entire plan," Wolf urged.

"Yes, my lord."

Gou Da began laying out the plan.

"Since this is called the city-wide transformation plan, the entire city must be mobilized. There can be no omissions or flaws. If that human sees through it, we're doomed."

"Agreed."

Wolf nodded in approval.

"Additionally, all demons must be forbidden from discussing demon-related matters. If word reaches his ears, it could expose us."

"Good."

Wolf nodded solemnly.

"Also, my lord, you must disperse your core team throughout the city to closely monitor that human's movements. We need to know his every action so we can respond accordingly," Gou Da continued. "Of course, those sent out must be extra cautious and must not be exposed."

"Very well said!"

Wolf nodded in agreement, then turned his gaze to the others in the hall.

"Ahem, did everyone hear that?"

Wolf's voice echoed through the hall.

Then he sighed.

"Ah!"

"Resorting to such a plan is a last resort, and it's not because I, Wolf, fear death."

"If I were to go all out, risking my life, I might have a sixty percent chance of killing that human in the Demon City."

"But my life is of little consequence. What about the Demon City?"

"What about the millions of demons living here?"

At this point, Wolf looked utterly helpless.

"Once I engage in battle with that human, a high-level confrontation like that would inevitably lead to widespread destruction in the Demon City."

"That's something I cannot bear to see..."

"Those are millions of demon lives..."

Wolf's eyes began to glisten with tears as he raised his head and murmured, "Death is nothing to fear, but living in humiliation is unbearable. Yet for the sake of the Demon City, I have no choice!"

Wolf's words moved everyone in the hall.

One by one, they were deeply touched, their hearts aching, tears welling up in their eyes...

So that's how it was.

So Lord Wolf had sacrificed so much for the Demon City.

Involuntarily, everyone in the hall knelt down, their voices unified.

"My lord is wise."

"My lord has poured his heart and soul into our demon race. With you leading us, it is the Demon City's fortune!"

"Rise."

Wolf extended his hands with satisfaction and issued the command, "As Gou Da has proposed, relay the orders to the entire city."

"At the same time, dispatch our elite wolf warriors to spread throughout the city and closely monitor that human's movements. Report any news immediately."

"Yes!"

Some transformed into black streaks of light, scattering in all directions across the city.

As the orders were carried out, the demons in the city began to act, transforming into humans with all their might.
