“Only you?”

When David heard what Dave said, he suddenly revealed a joyful smile. Although his strength was not the strongest in Devil Flame City, he believed in his heart that it had already surpassed most Dark Elves, especially when compared to Dave. The difference between them was like the sky and the earth! 

If Vincent did not participate, David believed that he had 10,000 ways to kill Dave. He would then escape from Devil Flame City.

“Then you can go to hell!” shouted David.

He jumped out of the crowd with his staff in hand. He cast magic spells consecutively as he rushed toward Dave.

“Magic Sound Illusion!”

“Slaughtering Devil Moon!”

“Thousand Magic Kill!”

After chanting, David's body was suddenly filled with a demonic aura.. At the same time, ear-piercing noises could be heard. An illusion, a huge half-moon-shaped blade, and countless puppets made of demonic aura had suddenly appeared. They all launched a kaleidoscope-like attack toward Dave.

Dave held his blade with both hands when facing his opponent's dazzling attack. His eyes were calm, and he simply slashed his blade downward.

“World Domination!” shouted Dave.

The Inquisitive God of the World weapon in his hand instantly turned into a pitch-black blade that was more than ten meters long. He slashed it directly at Dave who was charging at him.

The demonic aura illusion that covered the entire street dissipated in an instant. All the attacks that David had prepared instantly turned into foam!

The only thing left on the street was David who was still running. A thin red line extended from the top of his head all the way down to the bottom, splitting his entire body into two halves. At the same time, fresh blood continued to gush out from between the red line. The red line slowly expanded into a pillar of blood. He soon collapsed weakly, and his body that had been split into two fell to the ground.

Up until the moment he died, David could not close his eyes. This was because he could not believe that Dave could launch such a terrifying attack. The opponent whom he had looked down on since they were young actually had the same fighting style as Vincent.

David's face, which had been split into two, was filled with shock.

Dave withdrew his blade slowly. He did not bother to look at the remaining clergy. Instead, he pulled Catherine's hand and led her straight to the North City Gate.

Vincent and the others who had successfully killed Andre were gathered at the North City Gate. They were enjoying the heartfelt cheers of the soldiers and residents of Devil Flame City. Soon, they saw Dave and Catherine walking over from the other side of the street.

When all the Dark Elves saw Dave, they could not help but stop what they were doing in an awkward manner. This was because Andre, who had just been killed and labeled as a traitor, was still his father. Everyone did not know how to face Dave at that moment.

Suddenly, the three high-ranking generals of Devil Flame City walked forward and knelt on one knee in front of Dave. They said in a deep voice, “Sir Dave, please take over the position of City Lord!”

After seeing the generals kneeling, all the soldiers followed suit and knelt on one knee. They echoed in unison.

When the residents on both sides of the street saw the scene, they could not help but look worried. This was because they were not sure if Dave would betray Devil Flame City like Andre did when he became City Lord.

Vincent walked over to Dave slowly and said softly, “It was your persistence and hard work that made us all decide to help you prevent the disaster in Devil Flame City. Therefore, no one is more suitable than you to become the City Lord of Devil Flame City. You will continue to lead everyone to resist the rule of the demons!”

After Vincent finished speaking, the soldiers guarding the North City Gate drew their weapons and said in unison, “Please take over the position of City Lord, Sir Dave!”

The soldiers at the North City Gate were the first soldiers who were loyal to Vincent. At the same time, they had long been instructed by Vincent to assist Dave. Therefore, they would not hesitate to use the knives in their hands to support Dave in taking over the city.

After hearing Vincent's approval of Dave, the Dark Elves on both sides of the street accepted Dave in their hearts. After all, Vincent had just saved all of them. There was nothing more convincing than Vincent's words at that moment.

“Sir Dave, please take over the position of City Lord!”

All the residents in Devil Flame City shouted in unison. Dave had become the City Lord that everyone wanted!

Dave nodded solemnly. He then brought Catherine forward. He held Vincent with one hand and pulled Horace out of the crowd with the other hand. The four of them walked to the city tower located at the North City Gate.

Catherine stood behind Dave silently, while Dave stood in front with Vincent and Horace.

“I believe that after today's disaster, everyone has seen that Gajero and the demons are not gods who can bring beauty to the Elf Race. Their true intention is to seize our Origin Divine Earth and destroy our world! And when the true danger comes, the ones who will help us tide over the crisis are our foreign friends from the Black Hole world and our elf compatriots who are connected by our bloodline.”

Dave continued, “Previously, it was because of the instigation of the Demon Race that we treated the other elves poorly. We were incompatible like fire and water because of our faith. However, every elf's faith is free and should be respected! Therefore, from now on, in our Devil Flame City, regardless of faith or race, as long as there is goodwill toward the elves, we will treat them as our compatriots and friends! From today onward, Devil Flame City will no longer obey the orders of the Imperial City. We will accept more of our fellow elves and resist the oppression and rule of the Demon Race!”

His passionate and incomparably sincere words overwhelmed the residents of Devil Flame City with emotions. They looked at Horace, who represented the elves, and Vincent, who represented the other races. The residents of Devil Flame City had finally freed themselves from the shackles of faith imposed on them. They began to cheer for Dave's decision to resist the fate of the elves.

After seeing the scene, Vincent patted Dave's shoulder with relief and said to him softly, “Congratulations, you have successfully taken the first step. What awaits you next is an extremely arduous and dangerous road!”

Dave nodded gently and said seriously, “No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will bring all the elves along to forge ahead!”

Horace, who was at the side, could not help but shed tears when he saw the scene. He had been alone outside of Devil Flame City for so long. He never thought that he would one day be able to ascend the tower of Devil Flame City so openly. 

Moreover, instead of assassinating all the Dark Elves, Horace saw a more promising path. As long as the elves were united, they would definitely be able to drive away all the demons. Elf World will then be able to return to a peaceful and prosperous era!

Horace exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, “The Elf Race will never decline!”

Everyone in Devil Flame City was united and excited. Dave took the opportunity to issue orders to ensure that everyone could continue on with their previous lives. At the same time, he also began to send Dark Elves to spread messages to the surrounding cities.

From today onward, Devil Flame City would no longer worship Gajero. The city is willing to accept the arrival of all elves!

After arranging everything, Vincent and the others went to the City Lord's mansion together. They gathered in the meeting hall to discuss the following matters.

Dave, who was sitting on the city Lord's seat, said with a worried face, “We have issued a statement. If we want to stand up against the demons, I'm afraid we will have to face a lot of pressure in the future. The greatest pressure right now is the strength of the four city gates. If the other apostles come to attack the city, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of casualties!”

Horace replied in a deep voice, “I have already asked Andy to look for the other elves in advance to tell them about your sincerity. I believe that when the time comes, there will definitely be many strong elf experts coming to support Devil Flame City. As long as the demons in the Imperial City do not act, we can still defend the city!”

Dave nodded and said, “However, it's not a good idea to defend Devil Flame City to the death. After all, it's our elves that are fighting each other. Therefore, we should think of a way to get the support of more city lords so that they can see the true colors of the Demon Race as soon as possible! Only when all the elves stand together and are determined to protect our world, can the Demon Race realize that we are an invincible race!”

Horace had already fulfilled his long-cherished wish. Therefore, he was no longer as impulsive and irritable as before. After hearing Dave's suggestion, he could not help but think and say, “This is indeed a difficult problem. After all, the position of the demons in the hearts of the Dark Elves has already been deeply ingrained. Unless they experience a calamity like the one in Devil Flame City personally, they will not be able to completely recognize the true colors of the demons. We will have to find a way to verify everything we say!”

Dave suddenly had an inspiration and turned to look at Vincent. He said, “You mentioned that you can connect the underground space of Bright Moon City to the ground above. If we use modification authority and work together, how long would it take to complete it?”

Vincent thought for a moment and said, “At least a month's time!”

Dave lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He then said firmly, “Then we will go all out to develop the underground space of Bright Moon City. I believe that after every elf enters that space, they will be able to understand clearly what the demons have done!”

Vincent suddenly shook his head and said, “That's not enough! After all, this is only your side of the story. If you want to let more people see the true colors of the demons, you have to collect more evidence. I guarantee that no one will doubt it!”

Dave stood up and asked excitedly, “Oh, then what should we do?”

Vincent turned his head and looked at Avril beside him. He then said, “I have Jacob's diary here. It vaguely mentions that the fate of Bright Moon City is related to Andre and the demons. It can be used as evidence! At the same time, in order to prove that what we said is not a one-sided statement, we need a side verification!”

Dave said with a blank look, “Side verification? How?”

Vincent took a deep breath and said slowly, “That is to find another ruin like Bright Moon City and prove to those who doubt that the depletion of the Origin Divine Earth was caused by the demons!”

Everyone could not help but look troubled as they only knew Bright Moon City. Even if they believed that the demons had multiple channels to collect the Origin Divine Earth, they did not know where to look for it.

Dave looked troubled and said, “The method is indeed good, but we do not have any information at the moment. Where can we find a ruins like Bright Moon City?”

Vincent said calmly, “Serene Spring City!”

Dave was stunned when he heard this. He then sighed with joy, “That's right! Jessica is dead! As one of the twelve apostles, the main city that she was in charge of must also be excavating the Origin Divine Earth wantonly. As long as we take advantage of the time when Serene Spring City is leaderless and conquer it, we will be able to find more evidence to prove the ambitions of the demons!”

“That's right, let's do it!” replied Horace.

Horace was also full of excitement when he heard that.

Vincent sighed softly, shook his head and said, “Don't be too happy yet. Although we have a solution to the problem now, we still have to consider the problem of time. Right now, we need to occupy Serene Spring City and develop the underground space of Bright Moon City. At the same time, we have to reorganize our defense and defend Devil Flame City. We also have to be wary that the demons in the Imperial City might take the initiative to attack. We cannot solve all these problems one by one. Instead, we need to take care of all parties at the same time. Therefore, we must come up with a foolproof plan!”

Dave and Horace felt as though they had been doused with a bucket of cold water. They sat back in their seats with disappointed expressions on their faces. If they really had to worry about the various problems that Vincent had mentioned, they would not be able to do anything. They could only remain in Devil Flame City.

After thinking about it, Dave and Horace could not think of a perfect plan. They could only sigh incessantly.

At that moment, Angelina who had not spoken all this while, said softly, “Actually, these things can be prioritized. As long as we control the way we handle them, some things can be solved first, and some things can be delayed. We can still take care of the overall situation!”

When Dave and Horace heard this, it was as if they had found reinforcements. They turned their gazes toward Angelina, hoping that she would continue speaking.

After seeing their reactions, Angelina turned to look at Vincent. Vincent gave her an encouraging smile. Angelina acknowledged it and explained slowly, “The development of Bright Moon City does not require all of us to go together. As long as my sister, Ebenezer, and I are in charge, it will be fine. The task of guarding Devil Flame City can be handed over to Sir Horace, Guru Harson, and the original guards of Devil Flame City. When the other elves rush over to provide support, there will be no need to worry about the attacks of the other main cities! Then, Dave and Vincent will be able to leave for Serene Spring City and convince the Dark Elves there to accept all the elves just like Devil Flame City. As for the demons in the Imperial City, we'll have to think of a way to delay them!”

After hearing Angelina's arrangements, Dave and Horace nodded their heads in agreement. However, they still sighed with disappointment. After all, there was still a loophole in Angelina's arrangements.

They could not split up their manpower to stop the demons in the Imperial City!

At that moment, Vincent suddenly said, “I once obtained a Heavenly Demon Token from Miller. I can use the token to sneak into Imperial City. As long as I enter Imperial City, I believe that the demons inside will no longer have the energy to care about the outside world! However, if that's the case, we'll have to think of another way to take over Serene Spring City!”

Dave was greatly enlightened after hearing what Vincent had said. He replied, “That's simple! Serene Spring City is situated between Devil Flame City and the Imperial City. The two of us can go and subdue Serene Spring City first. As long as we confirm that no demons have passed through Serene Spring City, then Devil Flame City will be safe! After resolving the issue at Serene Spring City, you can go to Imperial City with ease!”

Vincent nodded and said, “In that case, it's decided!”

Everyone replied, “Okay!”

Vincent then turned around and reminded Avril and the others, “After you complete the development in Bright Moon City, you can immediately go to the Imperial City to meet me. I will try my best to deal with the demons there and find their weakness. When you arrive, it will be time to settle the score with the demons!”

Avril nodded solemnly and said to Vincent, “You have to be careful!”

Vincent smiled with confidence. He believed that with his disguise and ability, he would definitely be able to deal with the demons in Imperial City.

After everyone had finalized their plans, they began to make arrangements.

Avril, Angelina, and Ebenezer rushed to Bright Moon City overnight to prepare to construct the eternal space tunnel.

Horace and Guru Harson brought Daniel to the various city gates to patrol. They took over the command of the city defense.

On the other hand, Dave summoned all the officials in Devil Flame City overnight and began to assign tasks to them for the next period of time.

Vincent returned to the North City Gate alone and looked at the moonlight in the sky quietly. He waited for Dave to finish setting up. They planned on setting off together after that.

A soldier climbed up the city tower and hid in a corner carefully. He looked at Vincent's back with curiosity.

With Vincent's perceptive ability, he naturally noticed the arrival of this soldier. He recognized him as one of the 300 soldiers who had been loyal to him previously.

Vincent said in a deep voice, “What are you hiding in the corner for? If you have something to say, come out and say it!”

After the soldier realized that he had been discovered, he walked out of the corner somewhat embarrassed. He then walked in front of Vincent cautiously.

“Sir Vincent, I, I don't want to disturb your rest, I just have something to ask you!”

Vincent turned his head to look at the young soldier and nodded, “Ask away!”

The soldier hesitated for a moment before saying, “Sir Vincent, you are a foreigner from the Black Hole world, and Gajero is also a foreigner. Although we have seen the true face of Gajero, we are still Dark Elves, and we still use spells from the Demon Race. We hate this belief. Can we believe in you and treat you as our god? We can then inherit power from you!”

“Inherit my power?”

Vincent looked at the expectant soldier and could not help but feel helpless. Although he had become the hero who saved Devil Flame City and was recognized by everyone in Devil Flame City, he did not have the Elf King's divinity. Therefore, he could not change the power that all elves obtained from their faith.

However, Vincent also realized that everyone in Devil Flame City hated Gajero and had high expectations for him!

Vincent said to the soldier with a serious expression, “Becoming a god is not an easy thing. I do not have the qualifications to become a god!”
