A deserted city.
Although the Demon King had expected this, he hadn't expected them to leave so thoroughly. The entire imperial clan had left. Even Hero White had left. They had abandoned this city, abandoned everyone here, leaving behind only an old king.
"Demon King, you've finally come."
The old man said.
This place was filled with the aura of magic. The Demon King glanced at the pond. The water here was as black as ink.
"So you've been waiting for me for a long time?"
The Demon King said coldly. There was not a trace of emotion on his face. He could kill the old human king in front of him at any time. There was no reason for him to live. The Demon King did not need to be like the Kalis Empire, controlling humans so gently.
"Not too long. I just want to ask you one question. Why do you want to fight? Why do you want to rule? "
"I don't need to answer your question. If you have any last words, just say them. Perhaps the next time I see your hero's daughter, I'll pass them on to her."
The old man didn't give up.
"I don't have any last words. I've already accepted death. Demon King, although your eyes are resolute, you can't hide the confusion in your heart. You don't know if what you're doing is right."
"Perhaps, but that's not a reason for me to give up. It seems there's no need to waste any more time with you. Farewell."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black saber appeared in his hand. At the same time, the old man's eyes widened. His loose clothes rippled violently, and the lotuses on the pond were instantly blown over by a powerful gust of wind. The black pond water poured out like a wave, forming a ring that surged towards the Demon King.
However, with a crisp sound of breaking air, the waves instantly exploded to both sides. The old man sitting on the lotus flower revealed a shocked expression. A vertical red line appeared on his forehead, and he had already stopped breathing.
Just like that, he fell backwards into the pond. The black pond water submerged his body.
… …
The human empires fell one after another, but the Hero never showed himself. The Wussen Empire's army was invincible. Following the fall of the Luas Empire, there was no safe place in the world.
The various empires gathered their armies in the Dragonboat Empire and the Ophiuchi Empire, hoping to protect this last piece of land.
But what puzzled him was that after the fall of Luyas, the enemy's offensive suddenly stopped.
The invasion of the Wussen Empire had allowed the Demon Race to truly step into human territory. This was the first time that countless humans had seen the Demon Race, and they were filled with fear and unease. Everywhere, doors were tightly shut, and the cries of children continued through the night.
Right at this moment, a white-haired woman was climbing mountains and wading through rivers, passing through the human territory of the Wussen Empire.
She was Reina who left the Kalis Empire and chased after the Demon King Richard. She wore a black robe and entered the human city with the other demons.
Many demons followed the footsteps of the army and stepped into the human territory. To them, this was a new continent that had never been discovered before. They were filled with curiosity. Of course, they were not here for sightseeing. Most of them were here for money.
A human slave was worth a lot of money, and some skilled humans were even more expensive. Unfortunately, the Demon King, Richard, issued a law that abolished all slavery and established a human protection law. As long as they were well-behaved and didn't cause trouble, they could not be attacked. From the results, it could be seen that his law was very effective. The various demons did not dare to openly defy his orders, even if they felt depressed in their hearts.
Even so, the human territory was worth a trip. This place had the most abundant crops in the world, as well as all sorts of processed products that only humans could produce. They could transport these products back and sell them for a good price no matter where they went.
Thus, to them, this place was simply a gold mine. Gradually, the humans who came into contact with the Demon Race for the first time began to interact with these demon merchants. After all, under the temptation of money, humans would do many 'brave' things.
By now, the sky had darkened. Reina arrived at the city of Zeiluo. This place was very close to the Luyas Empire. It had once been a small country called Siman, but it no longer existed. Now, it was the Zeiluo City of the Wussen Empire.
The sky was not completely dark yet, but there were very few people on the streets. Only a few demons had come to visit this place. All of the doors and windows were tightly shut, but Reina did not hear any crying. Because Zeiluo City was a city that had voluntarily surrendered, it had not suffered much damage. Walking on the streets, Reina felt someone watching her. She turned around and saw a lit window. A small face appeared behind the window, its small eyes staring at her.
Perhaps sensing that it had been discovered, the child immediately hid inside the house, and the window slammed shut.
Reina didn't mind. After living in the demon territory for so many years, she had long since learned how to disguise herself as a demon.
She continued to walk along the street. Later, she saw a shop with its lights on. The autumn night was somewhat cool, and the light yellow light seemed to make people feel warm. There were sounds coming from inside, and it seemed to be quite lively.
Reina didn't like noise, but she liked warmth. She didn't stay for long, and walked towards the shop.
It was a place to eat. Reina didn't know if it was called a restaurant, a restaurant, or a tavern, but there were people eating and drinking. Clearly, this place was run by humans. Sitting behind the counter was a woman with a pale face and panicked eyes.
Perhaps it was because this was one of the few shops that hadn't been opened yet, but it was almost full of people. They were all demons of all kinds. Some were huge, some were fat, almost breaking the chairs with their weight, and some were as small as children.
Reina walked in front of the counter. There was a separate table here, but it seemed that no one was willing to eat here. Perhaps it was because they had to face this human.
"Get me something to eat. Bread, meat soup, anything will do."
She said to the woman.
The woman glanced at her, then nodded silently. She silently walked to the back, and soon came back with a bowl of soup and two pieces of hard bread.
Reina began to enjoy it. She tore open the hard to chew bread, soaked it in the meat soup, and stuffed it into her mouth. It didn't taste good. She just wanted to deal with her stomach.
"Hey, have you heard? Lord Demon King has defeated Luyas. The human mage king is dead."
"It only took him one day to capture that city."
"But he seems to be planning to reorganize there. The army seems to have not moved."
At this time, someone in the restaurant was talking about the war. Reina's ears twitched. She stopped eating and listened carefully.
Now she didn't have to deliberately look for the traces of her master. She could hear about his deeds everywhere. The demons talked about these things as if they were showing off. For humans, it was a big piece of bad news.
"Oh God."
The woman suddenly couldn't help but let out a sad voice. She covered her eyes and silently shed tears for the dead king.
"Hey! Human, why are you crying! Do you feel sad about the victory of Lord Demon King? "
However, her actions caused some demons to be dissatisfied. Reina turned her head and found that everyone in the shop was looking at her.
