Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

"Alright! Immediately order your soldiers to send more troops. No matter what, we must do everything we can to find Mo Hei for me. The demon clan absolutely does not want to lose any more demon generals!"

The Demon Lord could no longer remain calm and spoke in an anxious tone, the expression on his face fully showing his worry and anxiety about Mo Hei's whereabouts.

"Yes, sir! But... this." The Demon Shadow hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you want to say! Why are you hesitating?" the Demon Lord said impatiently.

"Yes, sir. I'm incompetent. We've already sent out several groups of messengers, both on horseback and on foot. As long as they can be used, we've sent them all out. A total of more than 30 people have been deployed."

"However, up to now, not a single messenger has returned. We don't have many messengers available right now."

The demon said with a stiff upper lip.

"What? So many people are dispatched!"

He stared at the demonic figure in front of him in astonishment, a bad premonition rising in his heart. However, he quickly regained his composure, took a deep breath and spoke.

"Well, then. In that case, I understand the current situation. You will withdraw for now. Continue to strengthen patrols around the Demon Palace and do not slack off in the slightest. If you discover any abnormalities or emergencies, be sure to report to me immediately. There must not be any delay! Under the current circumstances, we must remain highly vigilant!"

After Mo Ying left as ordered, he sat alone in a chair thinking about things, his brows furrowed, lost in thought.

The Demon Palace is an important place for the demons, and it is really worrying that it is facing such a situation.

He secretly made up his mind to do his best to protect this land.

The Demon Lord thought for a while and decided to go to his sister, Mo Yao, to check the current situation and discuss the current strategic situation.

Soon, a gust of black wind whistled past, and the Demon Lord appeared in front of the demon's residence.

At this moment, the demon was sitting at a huge stone table, intently flipping through a mountain of documents. These documents were as thick as bricks, and each page was densely covered with various texts, which showed the complexity of the front line.

When the Demon Lord stepped into the room, the demon seemed to sense something. She raised her head and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She quickly put down the documents in her hand, stood up, and bowed slightly to the Demon Lord to express her welcome.

"Huh? Brother, you're here..." The demon sighed softly, with deep worry in his eyes.

She had been busy for several days and nights in a row and was exhausted both physically and mentally, but the war at the front was still urgent.

The Demon Lord frowned. He knew his sister's character very well. If the situation wasn't serious, she would never be so anxious.

He walked straight to the demon and asked in a deep voice, "Sister, tell me, what is the current situation? How is the battle with the human race going?"

The demon bit her lip and replied in a slightly low voice: "Brother, the situation is not optimistic! The human race's attacks are getting stronger and stronger, and many of our defense lines have been breached many times. Although the soldiers fought bravely, they still suffered heavy casualties..." As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

The Demon Lord's expression grew increasingly grim. He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth as he spoke, "This damned human race! How dare they be so rampant, attacking us when we were least prepared, causing us to lose so much land and people."

The Demon Lord couldn't help but release a bit of pressure, which showed how much the war had hit him. However, he quickly withdrew the pressure.

After a moment of silence, the Demon Lord took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that at such a critical moment, getting emotional would only make things worse.

He patted his sister's shoulder and comforted her, "Sister, don't worry too much. We still have some time, and we will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem."

The demon nodded slightly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

She knew her brother was never one to give up easily. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would go all out. So, she wiped away the tears from her eyes and forced a smile: "Brother, I believe in you. Let's fight together and get through this together."

The Demon Lord nodded, and then began to discuss the current situation with the Demon and several other logistics personnel.

But the situation is getting worse and worse. Not only is the fighting in the front very brutal, but the fighting in the back is also not easy. The current supplies will only last for a month at most before they are exhausted.

The treasury was being depleted at a greater rate. Due to the continuous decrease in the population and land of the demon clan, the amount of tax revenue that could be collected was decreasing, resulting in the generals on the front lines receiving less and less military pay. There was already some disunity among the people.

The Demon Lord frowned and said solemnly, "The current situation is truly not optimistic! The sudden attack by the human race has dealt a heavy blow to our forces. Mo Hei has been missing and there is still no news, while other places are also constantly receiving worrying bad news."

"Without General Mosha commanding the front lines, and Momei gathering intelligence from within the enemy ranks, we are now stuck in a stalemate. It's difficult to recapture the lost territory. If we continue to defend like this, we will surely fail. I'm afraid we won't even be able to hold on to the last bit of land!"

His voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness, as if he had already seen the impending doom.

Moyao nodded, "Brother, although the situation on our front lines is still at a stalemate, with Mosha and Modu commanding us, the situation on the front lines remains basically stable."

"However, our biggest problem now is logistics. Food is already in short supply. If we continue to consume it, we will run out of ammunition and food in less than a month. It is obvious that the other side wants to fight a war of attrition, which is very disadvantageous for us." The demon spoke again.

"I'm worried about this too!"

He frowned and sighed worriedly: "What should I do? Well, it seems that now we can only wait for Moxie to wake up and Mohun to recover, and then send a few of them out to let them seize the supplies of the human race and check the enemy's situation by the way." As he spoke of his plan, he fell into deep thought.

I was thinking about the various situations I might encounter next and how to deal with them.

However, despite this, his eyes still revealed a hint of helplessness and worry.

After all, no one can predict the future battle situation, and this operation is full of too many variables and risks. They don’t have much time left and can’t delay any longer.

"In addition, we can also consider sending an elite squad, led by a demon general, to penetrate deep behind enemy lines to gather human intelligence and carry out harassment and sabotage." The Demon Lord spoke again. "Also, the previous battle caused heavy losses to our demon forces. We are currently running low on manpower. It seems we need to gather more soldiers."

"Brother, what you said is very true."

Moyao agreed with his brother's proposal. "However, the selection of the elite team requires careful consideration. Also, we need to formulate a specific battle plan as soon as possible. How should we fight in the future to have a chance of winning the next battle?"

"I think we can let Mohun lead the elite team," Moyao suggested. "He's powerful, resourceful, and calm. He's definitely up to the task."

The Demon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in a moment of contemplation, and then nodded, "Hmm... This is the only way. The Demon Soul is indeed the best choice, but I don't know how long it will take for him to recover."

After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh, seeming a little worried about the outcome.
