Chapter 1261: The Spineless Demon Realm Country

Lin Nuo and the others successfully made their exit, and his assessment was: this wave of assault on the headquarters achieved a temporary victory!

It was an exhilarating moment; they had already taken the first five steps, and the next would be the hundred millionth step, racing straight to the finish line!

Such self-deceptive evaluations were firmly believed by Qin Shili and her companions, who had long regarded him as a great leader.

Following a leader, life is just wonderful.

Ling Meng had recovered significantly, further convincing Lin Nuo that it was the evil sound of the Handa Alliance at work.

“She hasn’t woken up yet, but her pulse seems fine; it’s probably just a state of conscious dormancy,” Mu Yiting provided her diagnosis after checking Ling Meng’s pulse.

“By the way, you took a short-term explosive medicine like the Fierce Fury Pill, right? No side effects at all?”

Lin Nuo suddenly brought this topic up, and Mu Yiting nodded in response:

“Absolutely none. Didn’t you have any either?”

“You’re capable of talking, so we can’t have a nice chat,” he quipped.

“I remember you didn’t have any side effects,” she fired back.

“You’ve reached the level of dementia; I suggest you get a new brain,” Lin Nuo retorted, recalling how he’d looked cool after using the Fierce Fury Pill years ago only to end up in a coma. Though it felt great for a short time, it resulted in him lying in bed useless afterward.

In comparison, Mu Yiting had zero side effects, making him suspect she was just showing off.

“Why don’t you take one right now? Didn’t you do that last time, and you were fine?”

Mu Yiting wasn’t having it; she clearly recalled Lin Nuo taking one before and being all good afterward.

“Taking one now won’t do anything; my other potential can’t be triggered anymore.”

“Isn’t that just no side effects?”

“Fine, if you say so, then it’s settled.”

“You’re a great master; there’s no need for modesty with me. Just show off whatever you need to; I’ll continue to worship you as always. No, I’m worshiping you even more.”

“Okay.”

Lin Nuo couldn’t be bothered to banter any longer, thinking she would consider it a major display if he just farted.

He was contemplating heading back to Feng Ling Country to at least find a place to rest up, regroup, and then deal with the Handa Alliance.

“The Handa Alliance has retreated many troops; could it be that the united forces of various countries can now compete with the Handa Alliance?”

Qin Shili noticed some signs as armies began retreating back to headquarters, and more and more lost territories were being regained by various countries.

It seemed like the Handa Alliance was defeated, but Qin Shili felt there might be a trick behind it; it shouldn’t be the case.

“Do you really think they can compete with the Handa Alliance?” Lin Nuo asked her.

“I don’t think so. What about you?”

“If you’ve guessed it, why ask me?”

“Then we’re on the same wavelength.”

“Yes, we are,” Lin Nuo nodded, realizing it was less about being on the same wavelength and more about intelligent minds thinking alike.

“They must have some new arrangements; it’s likely that the major Demon Realm countries are facing a disaster,” Mu Yiting speculated.

“Let them be; if they’re doomed, then they’re doomed. We didn’t come here to rescue the Demon Realm. In fact, the greater the risk, the more opportunities we have. If they remain closed off, we won’t find a way back to the human realm. Relying on those small Demon Realm countries? They’re barely surviving. Let’s go.”

Lin Nuo continued carrying Ling Meng, needing to hurry back to Feng Ling Country and wake her up first.

……

……

Feng Ling Country.

“Warrior, we achieved a great victory; the Handa Alliance has retreated, and we’ve regained lost territories—thanks to you!”

The ruler of Feng Ling Country rushed to greet Lin Nuo, who had indeed made great strides, with many Demon Realm countries regaining their lands.

“Hmm, I think you should take advantage of the momentum and continue attacking the Handa Alliance instead of standing still,” Lin Nuo suggested, noticing that the Demon Realm countries had halted their pursuit upon seeing the Handa Alliance retreat.

“I think we don’t need to push too hard. Besides, we’ve successfully reclaimed our lost territories. We should proceed cautiously; continuing the chase might be counterproductive,” the king of Feng Ling Country disagreed with Lin Nuo’s viewpoint, and he felt the situation beginning to sour.

The reason these Demon Realm countries initially resisted was that they were pushed to a dead end, leaving them no choice but to rebel.

Now that the Handa Alliance had retreated, they felt they had won a victory and reclaimed their things, meaning it was no longer a dead end.

This no longer met the conditions for sinking the boats behind them.

As a result, they stopped pursuing and lost their ambition.

Not just one, many Demon Realm countries felt the same.

The cohesion and morale of this army instantly plummeted.

If you push this wave further, you might still have a chance. But if you play it safe with the Handa Alliance, aren’t you just waiting to die?

Maybe they were all just thinking for themselves.

“Warrior, we’ve worked hard in Feng Ling Country, yet other Demon Realm countries are sharing the spoils, their lost territories being returned to them, isn’t that unreasonable?”

“Are you saying you want it all to yourself?”

“Demon Realm has always been chaotic with various factions vying for territories. It’s only natural; stronger Demon Realm countries should possess more land.”

“I advise you to halt those thoughts.”

Lin Nuo quickly interrupted him, “Your common enemy now is the Handa Alliance. You haven’t even finished dealing with the foreign threat, and you want to start internal conflicts? You’re asking for disaster.”

“No, the Handa Alliance’s setback is merely at the level of a small Demon Realm country; it’s not worth mentioning.”

The king of Feng Ling started getting cocky, and Lin Nuo felt a sense of impending doom.

No feeling necessary; they were indeed doomed.

So it made sense that the Handa Alliance could topple these Demon Realm countries.

This bunch was really real-life brain dead.

Initially, he hoped they could push through together and play the role of cannon fodder; at least they could counter the Handa Alliance.

Now, it seemed they could only be cannon fodder.

“Warrior, let’s collaborate; I’m sure we can create a new world together, and then we can become the overlords of the Demon Realm.”

“Your ambition sounds nice. We can collaborate, but your current decision-making seems unwise. First, return the territories to their respective Demon Realm countries; do them a personal favor. When the time comes, catch them off guard—that’s much better than simply claiming a few plots of land, which is such a waste.”

“Hmm, you make a good point.”

The king of Feng Ling felt Lin Nuo’s words held some merit. They could pretend to be friendly first and then deceive them later.

Of course, Lin Nuo had no intention of collaborating with him; why would the emperor of the Demon Way need to team up with a mere cannon fodder?

Who even are you?

This pathetic country was not reliable; he could only look for a new one.

When the time comes, he would lure the Handa Alliance over and completely annihilate this wretched place.

Lin Nuo returned to Ling Meng’s room, where she had already awakened. Upon seeing Lin Nuo, her eyes turned red.

“Hmm?”

Lin Nuo immediately became alert—was she about to go out of control?

“Master.”

Soon, Ling Meng’s eye color returned to normal, wanting to hug Lin Nuo, but he dodged her.

“Ling Meng, not like this.”

Lin Nuo said lightly.
