The Golden Throne

Chapter 207: As simple as that

Chapter 207: As simple as that

“How do you know that there are two demon ministers that are coming? I haven’t even told my father, and the dragon king said that this was confidential.”, Liu Feng was shocked when he heard the voice say that there were two demon ministers.

“Who do you think told that little dragon?”, the voice chuckled.

Liu Feng felt a sweat trickle down his spine. Little dragon? Who would dare call one of the most powerful people on the continent that?

“You must be thinking, who am I? To dare call one of the greatest and most powerful people on the continent a little dragon. But let me remind you. This is one of the few continents that has resisted the onslaught of the demons. What you see here is nothing but a mere fraction of their force, and the true battle is happening elsewhere. What you are doing is what we call clean up.”, the voice chuckled.

“We?”, Liu Feng asked, utterly bewildered.

“Looks like my tongue has slipped on this instance. You are far too weak to look into this matter. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss, child. Now, what is your question? I owe this man a great favor, and I unfortunately cannot go against my word.”, the voice asked once more.

“Who is this man who you owe a great favor to? And why does he care about me so much? I must have done something to catch his eye? Is this the king of the spirits that we are talking about here?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Zeus? He is a good man, a good friend, but he cannot command me to come all the way here, leaving the front lines. You do not need to know who this man is. But do not worry. In time, maybe he will reveal himself to you. My suggestion? Stay alive till then.”, the voice said.

“Then tell me. Why won’t my tricks work on the demon minister? Do you even know what I am doing, and what it will do to the war?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Looking at the way you made it, you have a part of that toy that blasts, one part that does god knows what, and one that you can remotely activate. But how that will help, I am not sure. If a simple bomb or an explosive could end a war, then that explosive would cause massive destruction all over the continent. Nay, all over the world.”, the voice said as he sighed.

“What makes you think that this missile is not that powerful? If you see everything, then you should have seen my previous work as well, right?”, Liu Feng asked.

“I am not here to debate on whether you will win your war or not. In truth it means nothing in the long run. If you fail, then the continent shall send someone else to take your place, and fight back. What you do will have very little impact to the continent as a whole, and this small piece of the continent is barely of concern. Look at this place. Such meagre mana density. I wonder how people even live here. But that is beneath me to think. I am here only to answer a few questions.”, the voice said once more.

“If you are here to answer a few questions, then why don’t you tell me what they are?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Well, that would take the fun out of this, would it not?”, the voice chuckled.

“Fine then. Regarding the shield and the sword minister duo. Is there any way to separate them? So that we can finish off the minister with the sword, and then take care of the shield, killing the other demons in the process.”, Liu Feng asked.

“That is an amusing idea. But those two are inseparable. There is a reason that they were sent together. One would not leave without the other. And together, they are too difficult to defeat.”, the voice said.

“Then how do I defeat them?”, Liu Feng asked.

“How do you defeat them? Break the shield, or steal it. Then use it against them. That simple.”, the voice said.

“Steal the shield? But that would be impossible.”, Liu Feng said.

“Why would it be impossible? The shield is not bound to his body. It can be thrown out. Put the sword in a desperate situation, and force the shield out of the demon’s hand. Then, you will have a chance.”, the voice said.

Liu Feng closed his eyes, pondering about the possibilities of this happening. Although he never faced any demon minister, he had seen demon generals fight, and he could only assume that the demon ministers were a little more powerful than that.

“Then what do we do after we eradicate every demon? How are they coming into the continent?”, Liu Feng asked.

“Finally, the right question. The demons are coming in through a portal, and the only thing that you need to do is close that portal. The portal works every three weeks, and the next time the portal will open is one week from now. You will have to make sure that the war is over before then, or you will be faced with an impossible challenge. The next batch of arrivals might have more than a few demon captains and generals.”, the voice said.

“The demon ministers are already in the continent?”, Liu Feng looked surprised.

“How else would I know that they were coming?”, the voice said. “I might be powerful, but even I cannot peer into the demon king’s intentions, and his territory.”

“Then I need to finish the war in one week? But we are going through every single city, and going killing every single demon within them. Forget one week, even two months will not be enough.”, Liu Feng looked aghast.
