Although they managed to solve the problem with the Church in the end, this incident made the Finns realize once again that the Demon King's Army was making a comeback. It would be difficult for them to stay out of it.
After they finally brought the still unconscious Irene home, Xu Shenxing and the rest discovered that Yi Qing and the other current heroes had mysteriously disappeared. Only a strange looking mechanical parrot was left in the house.
"It's a familiar, and a rare Erigen Familiar at that …" As the Demon King, Eleena only needed a glance to recognize the mechanical parrot's true form. "If that girl really did learn magic by herself for less than a week like you said, then I can't help but be surprised by her magical talent."
Wasn't this nonsense? It would be abnormal if the protagonist who transmigrated didn't have a protagonist's aura or some sort of cheat.
Xu Shenxing was not moved by this at all. He even wanted to laugh.
Lin Qianqian might have given the familiar some instructions before she left. Anyway, when they returned to the house, the parrot opened its beak and began to recite Yi Qing's message in a shrill voice like a recorder.
According to the message, Yi Qing and the rest wanted to go to the Church with Xu Shenxing and the rest to rescue Irene.
However, due to their short legs, Xu Shenxing and the rest disappeared with a whoosh. The current heroes who did not know the way could only obediently return to the house and wait for news.
However, they did not receive any news from Xu Shenxing and the rest. Instead, they received other news.
The Demon King's Army led by one of the four legendary generals, the Burning Blood Warrior Soraya, had launched a surprise attack on the Silverbeak Fortress, which was the throat of the Frost Eagle Empire. They had caught the human army off guard and forced them to retreat. They had even pushed the human army to the green plains three hundred miles away from the capital!
The King of the Frost Eagle Empire was already very old. When he heard the news, he almost vomited blood and died. In the end, it was the Eldest Princess who led the Imperial Capital's Royal Knights into the Emerald Plains to stop the advance of the Demon King's Army.
However, because of this, the Emerald Plains, which was originally known for its beautiful grassland scenery, was completely dyed red by the blood on both sides. It was an out-and-out meat grinder.
However, in this kind of high-magic world, if the gap between the top combat power was too great, even if one side had the advantage in terms of military strength, it was very easy for the morale to be shaken due to the death of the main general, resulting in a collapse.
Although the Princess Royal was quite skilled in magic, she wasn't a match for Soraya, one of the four legendary generals. The only reason she was able to hold her ground was because the Frost Eagle Empire's army had the buff to fight with their backs to the wall. No matter what, the Frost Eagle Empire's capital was behind them. If it was breached, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, the ancestors of the Celestial Empire had long said that the morale of the human side would gradually disappear along with the defeat of the Demon King's army. At that time, the future of the Frost Eagle Empire would be set aside for the time being. However, the Princess Royal would probably either be captured, die in battle, or commit suicide.
As a hero summoned to this world by the Princess Royal, Yi Qing naturally could not ignore this matter. Therefore, she decided to go to the Emerald Green Field with Lin Qian and Xia Xueyao. As long as the three of them were there, the high-end combat power of the human army would be at least on par with the Demon King's army. The morale of the human side would also be maintained for a longer period of time.
Moreover, Lin Qian and Xia Xueyao were both mages, and mages were recognized as great killing machines in war. Only in a war at the level of an army would their power shine brightly.
"What a naive brat. Do they really think that the cunning princess will go head-to-head with the Demon King's army …?"
Finn sighed. "And they underestimate war too much. I hope they don't die on the battlefield because of some accidents."
As a former prince of the kingdom, Finn had seen many geniuses in the era when he fought against the Demon King's army. Although there was still a gap between them and the three current heroes, they were indeed geniuses. However, nearly 90% of them died on the battlefield. It was clear that power was not enough to dominate the battlefield.
This was especially true for mages with frail bodies. Sometimes, just an arrow mixed with magic-resistant metal could take the life of a famous court mage.
"It's fine. It's good to let them train. Otherwise, if they follow us all the time, they won't feel like heroes at all … If they die so easily, it means they don't have the protagonist aura." Xu Shenxing did not seem to care. "And compared to getting involved in that kind of war, it's easier for us to directly deal with the source of the problem."
His meaning was clear. He wanted to directly find the Demon King and persuade him to surrender. If he could not persuade him to surrender, he would directly kill him. It was simple and clear.
Eleena also knew some of the glorious and not-so-glorious history of this true hero. Naturally, she would not talk to Xu Shenxing about the human rights of the Demon Race at this time …
☆
Farsiliz knew that he was dreaming.
In his dream, he seemed to have returned to a year ago.
Fifteen years ago, the Demon King led them to surrender to the Hero at that time and promised to live honestly as humans.
Even as one of the Four Legendary Generals, 'Farsiliz of Steel Jade', he did not raise any objections. Instead, he integrated into human society with many other high-level demons who could take on human form.
However, he was neither like the warlike Soraya, who used her military exploits to gain a position in the human army and stirred up trouble all day long, causing all kinds of civil wars in the past fifteen years. He was also not like Boyant of Xinrui, who used his intelligence to make a name for himself in the human army and became famous all over the world.
He only pretended to be an honest farmer who only cared about and took care of his own land. Even though he followed the Demon King's orders, due to his pride as a demon, he still subconsciously treated humans as inferior creatures and did not intend to have any interactions with them.
Until he met the person in his life.
Even to this day, he still couldn't forget how she had secretly climbed up the wall of his house to pick a bunch of grapes. When she was finally discovered, she had straddled the wall and revealed a shy yet sly sweet smile.
After that, he began to try to get in touch with her and used this as an opportunity to get in touch with other humans. In the end, he gradually integrated into the human world.
A few years later, they had the fruit of their love and he confessed his identity as a demon to her.
However, the anger and disdain he imagined did not come. She was magnanimous and forgave and accepted Farsiliz's lies and true identity.
This made Farsiliz decide to live like a real human and spend the rest of his life with her, who he loved deeply.
However, the peaceful days were broken by an accident.
It was the autumn harvest time. The surrounding tenant farmers were harvesting crops in his fields to exchange for food for the winter. Influenced by her love for humanity, Farsiliz set a very low amount of food for the tenant farmers. He was a well-known philanthropist in the surrounding area. Because of this, all the tenant farmers had a good relationship with Farsiliz.
But just as the work was in full swing, a magical creature attracted by the smell of food appeared at the edge of the farm, scaring most of the sharecroppers to the ground.
Just as one of them was about to be eaten, Farsiliz bravely stepped forward and shouted at the demon to retreat.
After that, Farsiliz felt that although he did not use any magic and did not reveal his identity, it was still inappropriate to reveal some of his strength. This made most of the tenant farmers look at him strangely. So to avoid trouble, he planned to leave with his wife and daughter and start a new life in a place where no one knew them.
But it was too late.
When he returned home, packed his luggage and was about to leave with his wife and daughter, he found his house surrounded.
Hundreds of church members were staring at them with all kinds of anti-magic weapons.
From the leading bishop, Farsiliz learned that it was all because of the tenant he saved. When he learned that the tenant farmer betrayed him without hesitation for a few grains of silver barley from the church, the former demon general felt unprecedentedly disappointed in humans.
During the confrontation with the church, a young missionary could not bear the pressure and accidentally shot an arrow at Farsiliz's child. Farsiliz's wife instinctively shielded her daughter. In the end, both of them died in a few seconds from the poison smeared on the arrowhead.
The happiness that Farsiliz had spent 15 years to find was all destroyed in a few seconds.
"You damned humans! Ahhhhh —!" Farsiliz cried out in grief as tears of blood flowed down his face.
When he came back to his senses, all of the church members who surrounded him had turned into minced meat in the forest.
After that, he rushed over and killed all the tenant farmers. Then, under the persuasion of one of the four legendary generals, Boyant of Xinrui, he inherited the position of the Demon King. He once again gathered the demons who were dissatisfied with the humans and once again formed the Demon King's Army, declaring war on all the humans!
☆
"Since you dare to spy on my dream, then just show yourself!" Farsiliz opened his eyes on the demon king's throne and looked at the empty hall. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "I will let you know how great of a sin it is to mess with the dream of a high-ranked demon!"
The scene in the middle of the hall distorted, and then two people and a cat appeared there.
"Farsiliz, I didn't think that the person who would take this step would be you."
Eleena looked at Farsiliz who had changed back to his original demon form. His entire body was indigo, and he still had fangs and a hyena tail. She was in disbelief, "I always thought that the honest and honest you would not do such a thing."
"Lord demon king …" Farsiliz looked at Eleena as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he shook his head, "After you surrendered to the humans, there is nothing more to say between us. If you are here to persuade me to surrender again, then there is no need. This time, even if I die, I will die on the battlefield against the humans! "
