Chapter 426

"Heulia, the Salt God, I've heard of you. The most cowardly and powerless Demon God, you even made a nobody who isn't even Demon God god your king? Pshaw! Shameful! Once I shatter this barrier, I'll crush you!"

Heulia's expression changed repeatedly before calming down after a while.

"You guard the city walls well."

"Lady Heulia, you..."

"If we defend completely, we won't be able to withstand His impact. I must fight Him to buy time until the King returns. Don't worry, the King will protect everyone. Just stay here and hold the walls."

"Lady Heulia!"

The soldiers couldn't stop Heulia and could only watch as she flew out of the salt dome.

Everyone knows that Heulia is completely incapable of fighting.

Her going there was like sending herself to her death.

Heulia herself knew this.

"The King taught me how to fight. He said that running away will never get you anywhere; there will always be a time when you have to fight. I will protect this place, protect our home, Maria!"

The weakest Demon God, who had spent her entire life on the run, was pale and her fingers were trembling, but she flew to the front of the enemy Demon God.

"I will not fight."

So don't overthink it.

"As long as He avoids attacks, His body will continue to be salted."

"As long as I do these two things, I will be a Demon God capable of slaying enemies!"

Heulia recalled what Maria had taught her, her eyes slowly hardening as she faced the charging Demon God.

She was quickly defeated.

The salt oxidized part of the enemy's body and did cause some damage.

But she really doesn't know how to fight, and her own strength foundation is too weak.

But as the blood fell along with the water, Heulia smiled with relief.

"King, Maria..."

Behind the enemy Demon God, a pair of blood-red wings spread out, blotting out the sky.

Maria held her longsword at an angle, her blood-red eyes devoid of any warmth.

The Demon God abruptly turned around amidst the chilling, murderous aura:

"Who goes there!?"

"I am Maria, the blade of Heulia."

Then, in an instant, crimson sword energy covered the area around Yancheng.

In an instant, the colossal Demon God was reduced to half salt and half dust, losing its life at the foot of the salt city.

Countless demonic creatures also turned into salt and dust.

The crisis in Yancheng was resolved in an instant.

Maria caught Heurelia as she fell.

"My king, I didn't let you down this time, did I?"

"I don't need any face, I just want you."

"Cough!"

Heulia's strength and vitality were fading, but a blush of joy and satisfaction appeared on her face.

Nothing could bring her more joy than Maria's sweet words.

With such a confession, even death suddenly made Heulia feel no fear at all.

Maria carried the dying Heulia and landed in the city.

"King Maria, Lady Heulia ..."

"The great demon from the sea has attacked, and Demon God have risen up everywhere. I have killed them all. But the tsunami is already set in motion, and as expected, it will soon submerge Dihua Marsh and the Salt of the Earth. You must migrate to the highlands towards Mount Tianheng and live near Liyue Harbor. I will ask the Geo Archon and the Celestials to protect you for a while and to accept you into Liyue Harbor."

"Then, what about my king and my god?"

"It's a real shame that we won't be able to see you grow up."

Maria held Heulia with one arm and gently stroked the head of the royal maid with the other. Her face, bearing clear lines of Honkai erosion, also revealed a gentle smile.

The maid understood what was happening, and tears instantly streamed down her face. Many tribes had experienced similar moments during times of war.

"Gather everyone and prepare to relocate. Before the Geo Archon's reinforcements arrive, go to higher ground as much as possible to avoid the impending flood."

"Yes, my king!"

"And this is no one else's fault but ours, especially Rock King and the others. They have helped us a lot and will continue to help us in the future, so we should be grateful to them."

"Yes!"

"Also, this generation is one thing, but the next generation can no longer be said to be Salt King the Salt God and the Salt Prince. Once they arrive in Liyue Harbor and are under the protection of Morax, they will be Rock King. Remember that?"

"Your Majesty... we... we will always be the subjects of the Salt God and the Salt King... forever!"

This was the only condition that the obedient people of Yancheng refused with tears streaming down their faces.
