The Ancient Kingdom of Gotham was like a delicious cake. It was placed right in front of them, but they could not touch it. The human armies gradually slowed down their attacks. The heavy losses forced the empires who coveted Gotham's magic technology to give up.
On the other hand, the Adventurer's Guild had been calling for the empires to defend their borders. The Demon King's attack would soon begin, and they did not want to give up their hard-won land.
At this time, at the frontline, behind the temporary trenches and walls, there was a group of soldiers with ashen faces. They were all squatting on the ground with weapons in their hands. No one spoke. There were many of them, but the place was filled with a suffocating silence.
In the main camp, the armored An Luo and several other Imperial generals were also worried about this matter. The morale of the soldiers was low, and they could not stop their homesickness.
"More soldiers have committed suicide in the past few days."
The Dragon Boat Empire's general, Xia Long, said with a frown. The other generals looked at the map in silence. The war had not really begun, but they were already collapsing internally. This was not a good sign.
"We have to stabilize the morale of the soldiers. We have to get them back on their feet."
"I'll go and talk to them."
At this time, An Luo stood up with both hands on the table.
"It's useless. Even if it's a hero's speech, it will become less and less effective after repeated use. Moreover, the soldiers who stayed here are all soldiers who have experienced dozens of battles. They've probably heard our speeches so many times that their ears have grown calluses."
A general waved his hand and said.
"But we can't let the soldiers be depressed like this. We might not lose! We have to let the soldiers know about this. "
"It's useless. The Ross Empire can't stop the invasion of the Demon King's army even with the power of the entire empire. How can we stop it with our temporary army? I don't even know how the Adventurer's Guild convinced the Emperor. What a mess."
The Dragon Boat Empire's general sighed and shook his head.
Seeing that the generals were not confident, An Luo could not help but clench his fists. As a hero, he should bring hope to the soldiers.
"No, this is a critical moment. We have to get them back on their feet."
Just as An Luo finished speaking, a soldier in charge of communication suddenly shouted from outside the door, "Sir! There's important news! "
"Come in."
The Dragon Boat Empire's general, Xia Long, shouted.
The soldier excitedly appeared in front of everyone and said, "Reporting! I've just received news that the War God is on his way to me with an army! This is a message from him! "
Hearing this, all the generals widened their eyes and stood up excitedly.
An Luo stepped forward and took the letter. When he opened it, he found that the generals were in high spirits.
"Yes, it's true. Grandfather, no, the War God has brought 100,000 soldiers to reinforce us."
"Oh! That's great! So the Empire and the Adventurer's Guild didn't abandon us! "
"There's hope!"
The generals said excitedly.
"Quick! Quickly tell the soldiers this news! "
"Yes!"
The signaller nodded and immediately left the base camp.
"That's great! With the Army God here, we don't have to be afraid of the Demon King!"
After a general said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The base camp quietened down, and the generals all looked at An Luo.
An Luo looked at the letter calmly, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he smiled, "This way, our chances of winning are even greater. This is indeed something worth celebrating."
Hearing this, the generals secretly let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's right. With your family of heroes, we don't have to be afraid of anything."
The others agreed.
An Luo's father was also a hero, and he was also a hero. It was said that his grandfather's father was also a hero, so the world called his family the family of heroes. For generations, there would be heroes.
But what no one knew was that other than his grandfather An Mihu, An Luo's father had all died young, killed by the Demon King.
One of the reasons why An Luo wanted to become a hero was to avenge his father and kill the hateful Demon King.
But now, after becoming a hero, he discovered the true meaning of being a hero. He wanted to save the world, but in the end, he found that he was still too inexperienced.
He looked at the cheering generals and couldn't help but feel disappointed that there was such a big gap between him and his grandfather An Mihu.
"I'd better go talk to the soldiers, lest they think this is a scam."
"Yes, yes. With a hero like you saying it, everyone will definitely believe it."
General Xia Long said.
A hero, huh?
An Luo smiled wryly and quietly left the tent.
The sunlight outside was very dazzling and hot. He looked up at the sky. The sky was clearly so vast, but he felt that his chest was so narrow that he couldn't breathe …
Ufa Great Forest, a huge celebration. Although there had been a banquet, these demons still didn't know what a festival was.
The Demon King named the capital Ufa. At this moment, almost all the demons and humans of the Ufa Great Forest were gathered in Ufa. Although there were no professional performance teams, each tribe sent a group of people to perform their own unique skills.
For example, the dog-headed tribe's fire jumping hoop, the snakemen's pole dancing, the lizardmen's water dancing, and so on.
And what the Ufa Great Forest didn't lack the least was food. Even if there were twenty times as many people gathered here, there would still be enough food for everyone to eat until they were full. The lizardmen brought giant crayfish. The red crayfish took up a large plate, and there were also fat fish. Under the cooking of the Ke Tu tribe, the fish meat bloomed like a flower.
The dog-headed tribe and leopardmen raised cows and sheep, the centaurs picked wild vegetables and fruits. The banquet was filled with delicious food. Because there was so much food, there was no place to put it. The residents of Ufa took out their tables and placed them in the open air on the streets. The tables were filled with food, and the passersby could casually taste it.
If it were a year ago, such a scene could only happen in their dreams. No, they wouldn't dare to go so far even in their dreams. Being able to eat delicious food was already quite a luxury, not to mention being immersed in a gourmet paradise like now.
"Today is the day that our Wussen Empire is established! In the future, we will be one entity, not divided into tribes! Everyone will endure hardships together, and enjoy blessings together! "
Standing on the high platform, Hala spoke loudly. The people below the platform cheered, and the various tribe leaders went up to give their speeches. However, they were all flattering the Demon King. The Demon King sat on his throne, his right hand holding a goblet of red wine. He raised it high towards the crowd.
"May the Wussen Empire prosper."
"May the Wussen Empire prosper!! Long live the King!! "
Hearing the excited voices below, the Demon King smiled. At this moment, he saw a human youth and a human girl in the middle of the banquet, happily enjoying the delicious food.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem After the banquet, the Ufa Great Forest resumed its usual tranquility. The pressure accumulated from working day and night was gone in one day. Life was back on track. The only difference was that everyone was in a good mood and smiling.
Apart from Hala, she was currently worrying about cleaning up the city.
The Demon King was once again gathering his army. The huge banquet had attracted the attention of many demons outside the forest, and many of them had come to seek refuge. This was one of the areas that gave Hala a headache. Because the Demon King had set up a magical barrier to keep them outside, Hala had to personally determine whether these people were enemies or people seeking refuge. This required a lot of energy, but the city needed to be restored to order. Thus, she temporarily put aside her work at the border and focused on cleaning up the city.
After all, she had heard the Demon King say that if the city was not clean, there might be a plague. She didn't want that to happen.
After about a week, she finally restored the city to its original appearance. The smell of rotting food no longer lingered on the streets. Her work was complete. However, just as she was about to rest, she noticed that on the map that the Demon King had given her, many red dots had suddenly appeared. They covered almost the entire border. Clearly, someone was trying to break in. Someone had surrounded the Ufa Great Forest?
"Oh no!"
Hala, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up and rushed outside. Perhaps someone wanted to attack during the banquet. No matter what, she had to investigate as soon as possible. Otherwise, the tragedy of the last surprise attack would happen again.
Thus, she led an elite team made up of humans, Cotu Clan, Dog-Headed Clan, and Centaur Clan to that place.
A strange yellow light was emitted from the top of the strange stone statue. There were actually seven or eight orc soldiers in armor lying around the statue. They had cut down the trees and made a camp. Now, they were lying lazily on the ground.
They were just outside, but they couldn't see Hala and the others at all. At this time, a sleepy orc slowly walked over. Everyone was vigilant. Now that the other party had the advantage in numbers, even if they were familiar with the environment, they couldn't fight against so many people.
However, when the orc soldier was about to cross the barrier, it suddenly disappeared. Hala suddenly remembered the map, the red dots all over the Ufa Great Forest. She understood that they were already at the other border of the Ufa Great Forest. The Demon King's magical barrier had sewn the border together. In other words, for this group of people, the Ufa Great Forest didn't exist. They would never be able to reach it.
"Too miraculous!"
Seeing this, Hala covered her mouth. She hadn't expected that there really would be an enemy attack. If it weren't for this barrier, the Wussen Empire, who had let down their guard, would be in trouble.
Hala turned to look at the soldiers. "Pass on my orders. Enemies have appeared to the north of the forest. We need reinforcements. Tribal leaders, please send out soldiers to wipe out the enemy."
"Yes!"
Soon, the sound of hooves could be heard. A group of heavily armored soldiers hurried over. Hala put on her chainmail and picked up her weapon.
"We have to wipe out these invaders! Let them know the power of our Wussen Empire! "
After speaking, Hala pulled out her spear.
"Charge! Crush these invaders!!! "
"Charge!"
… …
Just like this, a group of completely defenseless orc soldiers was suddenly attacked by a group of heavily armored soldiers. Although they had been through hundreds of battles, they had never encountered such a situation. Even their mounts, the giant wolves, didn't smell the enemy's scent. There was almost no resistance. The orc army was instantly wiped out. Some surrendered, some fled.
As for their leader, he was captured alive by Hala.
A tied up Orc was escorted by a group of soldiers in heavy armor. Hala rode a horse and walked in front of the team proudly. He pulled the rope and dragged the captured Orc general to the office.
This scene attracted the attention of the residents of Ufa. They all came out to the streets to watch the show. Although Hala tried to stop them, they still threw eggs and vegetables at the dejected orcs.
Seeing this, Hala sighed. She shouldn't have been so high-profile just to satisfy her vanity. Now, she had to arrange for people to clean up the streets.
… …
In the dim prison, the defeated orcs hung their heads dejectedly. For a warrior race, being captured was the greatest humiliation. But even their general had surrendered. What could the soldiers do? And this battle was simply too unfair. They had suddenly appeared without warning. They didn't even have time to react.
"Lord Demon General, what should we do?"
An orc soldier asked.
The Demon General he spoke of was a fierce-looking orc. He crossed his arms in front of him, not saying a word.
"Oh! As expected of my lord! He actually thought of a way! "
"We have infiltrated the enemy's base. Our brothers are still outside. Let's work together!"
"My lord is wise!"
Hearing this, the orc's eyebrows twitched.
Hey! I didn't say anything. Why are you talking to yourselves? What do you mean by working together? We're going to lose our lives!
However, at this moment, a few footsteps were heard. They immediately became alert like wild beasts.
"Master, the orcs we captured are locked up here. What do you want to do with them?"
"I don't care if they are orcs or not. Kill all intruders."
A familiar voice sounded. The Beastmen slowly raised their heads and saw a mysterious demon with a horn on his head appear in front of them. After seeing the other party's black clothes, the Beastman general's eyes widened and his mouth fell open. He pointed at the other party with his tied hands excitedly.
"It's you! Boss! "
The Demon King froze for a moment. Looking at the excited orc, he seemed to remember.
"That orc general?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's me! Zeba! We've done business before! "
Zeba. The Demon King's eyebrows trembled. The orc who made him suffer a loss.
Hala on the side was puzzled. Then she felt nervous: Is it someone the master knows? That's too bad.
However, the Demon King didn't blame her. He just sighed and said, "Let him come out."
In a reception room in the office, some food was placed on the left side. The orc Zeba ate and drank with all his might. His mouth was slowly filled with food.
"I didn't expect that the master here is actually you, boss! No wonder you have so much, ugh ~ ~ food. "
Zeba burped. His mouth was full of food, but he still wanted to talk.
The Demon King raised his eyes and looked at the demon general who didn't live up to his name. He said, "Why are you here?"
Hearing this, Zeba wiped his mouth, took another drumstick and said, "It's a long story. After I brought your food back, I wanted to retire, but I didn't expect the Beastman King to promote me and let me attack this place."
With that, Zeba suddenly shut his mouth.
Oh no! He accidentally let it slip!
He shrugged his shoulders and stared at the Demon King with his big round eyes.
The Demon King didn't seem to care. He said, "You're alone? How many people did you bring? "
Zeba said weakly, "Only twenty thousand people."
"Hmph, it seems that we've been looked down upon by the orc king."
"Boss is right. I think so too. I protested, but he still wanted me to come. There's really no other way. He even said something about taking advantage of the God Slaying Association. "
Zeba realized that he seemed to have said too much. He found that the Demon King was looking at him, which made him nervous.
"Oh? God Slaying Association? What do you mean? "The Demon King felt that something was wrong.
Zeba said timidly, "I … I don't know. It seems that including the orc king, the three Demon King are preparing to join forces or something."
Hearing this, the Demon King showed a serious expression.
"There's such a thing?"
