Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

“Guard the vicinity of Imperial City?”

“All of us can’t leave?”

“That’s not a bad idea!”

The seven apostles looked at Vincent suspiciously at first but soon praise his suggestion.

No matter what the seven apostles said, they were only afraid of the strength of the foreign race. At the same time, they were worried that they would incur the displeasure of the demons, so they gathered outside the Imperial City. They tried their best to beg the demons inside to give them an idea.

The solution that Vincent suggested had helped them to avoid the two difficulties perfectly!

Although the foreign race that wreaked havoc in Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City was powerful, he might not attack the Imperial City immediately. Hence, the seven apostles felt at ease guarding the vicinity of Imperial City as they would not encounter the foreign race in a short period of time.

If the foreign race really dared to come, the seven apostles would have their backs against Imperial City. Even if they could not defeat him, they could immediately seek help from the oracles in Imperial City. Their safety index would soar.

Vincent, on the other hand, had already prepared an excuse for the apostles. The excuse was that the motive of the foreign race had long been exposed. Sooner or later, he would come to the Imperial City to find trouble with the Demon Race. Hence, the seven apostles chose to guard the vicinity of the Imperial City. Simply waiting for the foreign race to come could not be considered as disobeying the orders of the demons. On the contrary, it showed their judgment of the fighter jets and their loyalty to the demons!

Such a safe and unoffending method was like a life-saving straw for the seven apostles. Not only did they nod their heads in agreement, but even their gazes toward Vincent had also softened. There was even a hint of gratitude in their eyes.

Vincent also greeted them with a smile, showing his friendliness to them.

However, what made Vincent really happy was that he had successfully stabilized the apostles and allowed them to stay close to Imperial City.

This way, the seven apostles would not return to their own territories to seize the Origin Divine Earth, nor would they take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Serene Spring City and Devil Flame City.

More importantly, the seven apostles were all gathered outside the city. When Vincent was free, he could quietly gather them and kill them. It would save time and effort. Just thinking about it made him excited.

The seven apostles said quickly, “Brother, we will have to rely on you to take care of us in the future. I hope that you can help us to put in a good word to the oracles. When we enter the Imperial City in the future, we will definitely benefit from you!”

Vincent nodded and said happily, “Of course! Everyone, please go and set up camp. I have to report to the oracles!”

The seven apostles immediately returned to their respective locations and led their men to set up camp. They surrounded the kingdom like the stars surrounding the moon.

After Vincent returned to the kingdom, he immediately said to the soldiers guarding the gate, “Close the city gate!”

The puppet-like soldiers did not hesitate at all and immediately closed the gate tightly.

Vincent had already obtained a suitable excuse and immediately walked towards the palace in the city.

After coming to the palace for the second time, Vincent’s courage was much greater than before. He began to take the initiative to pay attention to the surrounding terrain and every detail in the palace.

After having some understanding of what was beneath the palace, Vincent discovered that the palace, which was made of black crystals entirely, was actually a large-scale energy gathering array. After the energy contained in the bodies of the six Elf Kings was absorbed by the underground array, it would flow along the black crystal pillars and into the palace. It would then transform the entire palace into a fairyland overflowing with psionic energy.

However, what puzzled Vincent was that if the demons guarding the Imperial City had been guarding the palace for thousands of years, then their strength would have long risen to a terrifying level. Why were they not at least level 50 creatures? This simply did not make sense at all!

Just as Vincent was in deep thought, the door of the palace suddenly opened, and the voice of the demons was heard from inside again.

“Come in, tell me how you dealt with those apostles!”

Vincent let out a sigh and walked into the palace calmly. He looked at the eight demons who were still enjoying the service of the servants and immediately told them about what had happened outside the city gate.

The leader of the demons looked at Vincent and asked casually, “The foreign race’s target will be the Imperial City, how did you come to that conclusion?”

Vincent replied calmly, “Because I heard that ever since the aliens entered the Elf World, they had split the statue of Gajero with a single slash. Moreover, when they wreaked havoc in Devil Flame City, I was in the city. I knew that the slogan of these outsiders was to unite all the elves and overthrow the rule of the demons! Therefore, I believe that their final target will be the Imperial City. Since the apostles outside the city do not dare to face the foreign races, we will let them stay outside the city and be the eyes and ears of the Imperial City!”

The demon nodded his head, frowned, and said, “Although this arrangement is not bad, it will affect the speed of the other apostles in completing their missions. This is a situation that is not supposed to happen in the Demon Race. How do you plan to solve this?”

Vincent saw that the demons did not take the initiative to mention the Origin Divine Earth, so he pretended not to know anything and simply replied, “That is simple! I can use the names of the oracles and arrange for soldiers to go to the territories of the apostles to complete the mission on their behalf. This way, when the mission is completed, there is no need to worry that the seven apostles will act proud and try to enter the capital!”

When the demon heard this, his eyes could not help but tremble slightly. He said coldly, “They actually still want to enter the Imperial City? They really don’t respect us at all! Your idea is very good. You should let these good-for-nothings know that they will always be the servants of the Demon Race. No matter what, they are not fit to give orders to the Demon Race! As for the candidates who complete the mission, you can choose one for yourself!”

Vincent nodded and quickly replied, “Please rest assured, my lords. I will handle matters outside the Imperial City! However, the Imperial City is not a monolithic one!”

When the demon heard this, he could not help but ask curiously, “Oh, what do you mean?”

Vincent frowned and said with a worried expression, “As far as I know, the methods of the foreign races are very strange. They can sneak into any location without anyone noticing. Even the Dark Elves who are stronger than them are unable to detect them. I’m worried that they will bypass the apostles outside the city and sneak into the Imperial City. I’m not as strong as the apostles, so I’m naturally not a match for the foreign races. Therefore, I hope that one of you can help me rearrange the defense in Imperial City. If anything happens, I’ll have a powerful backer to help me defend against the foreign races!”

After listening to Vincent’s analysis, the demon leader could not help but reveal a worried expression. After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at the demon sitting on the far left.

“Roderick, follow Jacob for a trip! From now on, the safety of the Imperial City will be handed over to the two of you. You must make the entire Imperial City strong like an iron plate. No matter what happens, you must nip it in the bud!”

The demon whose name was called, said with an unwilling expression, “Why don’t you arrange for others to do this kind of thing? Why do I have to do it? Is it because I’m weaker than you so you can bully me?”

The demon who lived in the middle did not care about Roderick’s complaints at all. He said in a deep voice, “If I tell you to go, then go. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Don’t tell me that you want me to invite that person to personally give you an order?”

Roderick instantly shivered when he heard that. He got up from his seat with some fear and said repeatedly, “I didn’t say that I wouldn’t go! Do you have to use that person to scare me?”

As he spoke, Roderick had already walked down from the high seats. Without even looking at Vincent, he walked straight out of the palace’s door.

Vincent could not help but feel surprised when he saw this. He quickly bade farewell to the demons in the palace and turned around to follow Roderick out.

On the streets of the Imperial City, Roderick looked around and said to Vincent in a deep voice, “What do you want to do? Hurry up and tell me. I don’t want to waste too much time!”

Vincent looked up at Roderick in a daze, smiled, and said, “I hope to mobilize all the troops in Imperial City, redistribute them to guard the streets and alleys in Imperial City. I also want to ensure that there are two to three soldiers at a guard post. This way, no matter where the danger occurs, someone will spread the news immediately. This way, we can guarantee to a great extent that we will discover the foreign races the moment they sneak into Imperial City! At that time, I will be responsible for holding back those foreign races, and the oracles will be responsible for timely support and killing those foreign races with malicious intentions!”

When Roderick heard this, he felt that the mission was not that troublesome. Other than personally taking action when the foreign races invaded, he could still continue to stay in the palace for the time being. Therefore, he immediately said happily, “Not bad! This idea is very good. Then, you can start to deal with it. I will go back first!”

Vincent pulled Roderick, who was about to turn around to leave, and quickly said, “Sir, please wait. Although there won’t be any major situations yet and you don’t need to personally take action, I need you to arrange the positions of every guard post with me today. This way, I can guarantee that you’ll be able to rush over as soon as you receive the news. Moreover, I’m not familiar with the Imperial City. There are some places that I still need your opinion on!”

Roderick’s face was full of impatience. However, as long as he could get through the day, he could continue to be lazy in the future. Therefore, he nodded and said, “Alright then, let’s start setting up quickly. Don’t waste my time!”

“Alright, alright, then we’ll first set up the guard positions around the palace!”

Vincent smiled and replied, “Alright, let’s head to the side of the palace.”.

Just as Roderick turned around and walked in front of him, Vincent’s expression suddenly became serious.

He originally wanted to use this opportunity to kill Roderick and fulfill his promise to the six Elf Kings!

However, Roderick’s conversation with the other demons in the palace made Vincent wary. Could it be that other than the eight demons in the hall, there were other demons hiding in the palace?
