The moaning man having been removed the earth demons dropped the walls, and a nearby water demon deiced Wu with the permission of Ling.
The crowded room looked on worriedly, having heard the sobbing, pained cries of the man. Exclamations of concern erupted as the crowd got a glimpse of their emperor, now blood splattered and standing near a pile of organs on the floor.
"Order!" Shouted the general from before, rushing back into the stage. The room fell deathly quiet with the exception of a few vomiting humans.
"My people an assassin has attempted to kill me, using a knife dipped in a rare poison that kills demons." A human guard held out the dagger to show it to the room. Cries of outrage echoed across the room, with various people shouting insults at the man's innards
"Let it be clear" Ling said once things had died down "I am unharmed because of the human hand maiden you see behind me. And as you can well see the man paid dearly for his mistake. I suspect that he was sent by Theos, in hopes to provoke a war. I shall not give that child of a king his wishes. I sent the assassin back to his master, to make a clear message that I do not play his game. We will prepare our defenses, but I shall not ask my people to die over this offense."
