Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

“Wa ...

Irene clutched her head and screamed in a frenzy;

"Master, go run a few laps first! See you in Sihui, ahh ...

"Ah..." Before An Yi could even speak, Irene had vanished. "...Okay."

Actually, the Elef before her eyes is somewhat different from the Elef that An Yi knew in her previous life.

In her previous life, Irene and Annie spent a long time together, and Irene was always seriously injured and in danger. In this desperate situation, her instinct to reproduce was aroused.

As for Irene, she is not seriously injured and is not under any threat to her safety, so she remains in her original elf state.

Therefore, they will only choose to have children after a long period of dating.

Simply put, she's not in such a "rush" anymore, which is why she displays a shyness like a girl in her first love.

Although she would sometimes try to flirt with An Yi, it was only when she knew that flirting was ineffective.

But if An Yi reacts, she immediately runs away in fright.

High attack, zero defense.

Chapter 116 Demons, Nobles

The Holy Hero was born in the seventh month.

A month has passed since the Goblin Empire was conquered and the disaster caused by the Rock Giants was resolved.

Among the demons, there were finally some nobles who began to notice the existence of humans.

There are also territories among the demons, and each territory is allocated by the Demon King to the current strongest kings of different races.

Below the king is the grand duke, also known as a duke.

Below the Grand Duke are the Marquises.

Judging from the game's background setting, all border areas currently accessible to humanity are managed by the Marquis.

Furthermore, the demons responsible for deploying lower-level demons to encroach on human territory were appointed by these demon marquises.

In a certain land deep within the demon realm, a place that humans have never reached before.

Under a sky as dark and gloomy as a stereotype, a crooked castle, which seems unattractive to humans but somewhat fashionable to demons, stands on the earth.

The nobles of the demon race also live in castles. Of course they live in castles, and the materials they use are much stronger, otherwise they wouldn't be able to withstand the movements of their powerful bodies.

You can't just walk a couple of steps and break the floor.

Deep within the demon castle, after traversing countless dark corridors, a magnificent, gigantic council hall was filled with demons.

They were of different shapes and appearances, so strange that they couldn't be simply described, and sat on several huge stone chairs on both sides of the council hall.

Or perhaps not sitting? Lying down? Standing? Some demons don't even have buttocks.

If the Demon Hero used his [Demon Eye] here, he would probably be so scared that his legs would go weak on the spot.

Because any of the demons present possessed magical power no less than that of the Undertaker who appeared that day.

Rather, it's more accurate to say... that everything is above it!

Outside the council chamber, three black spheres were slowly drifting in, as if deliberately slowing down. The distance that should have been covered in the blink of an eye was being covered second by second.

Those are three [funeral attendants].

They've been here more than once, but they've never stepped on the dark red carpet beneath their feet, because they have no feet.

The ceiling of the council chamber was carved with various intricate patterns, some of them magical runes, others depicting powerful figures from the territory. Under the illumination of the huge chandelier burning with blue flames in the center, it appeared indescribably eerie.

However, for the demons, this was simply magnificent; they disliked glaring light, so this was just right.

"They're all back? (Demon language)"

A deep, drawn-out voice echoed in the hall, but it was like a rumble of thunder before a storm, causing the entire hall to tremble slightly just from the sound of it being spoken.

Also trembling were three "funeral attendants" whose bodies had shrunk to the size of one meter.

There wasn't just one marquis present; they probably had never seen so many marquises together in their entire lives.

The mere pressure emanating from these demonic nobles was enough to make their souls tremble involuntarily.

The atmosphere has reached this point, so the Grand Duke should be sitting in the center of the deepest part of the council hall, right?

Of course, this is not the time for the Grand Duke to handle such matters.

After all, this was the duty of the marquises. If the Grand Duke was alarmed, he would only blame them for not being able to handle such a small matter properly.

Is it necessary to alarm the Duke to simply conquer human territory?

There's no need to even report it.

"What's been going on lately?"

Then another voice rang out.

The three-headed [funeral attendants] knew that these marquises must know what had happened.

But they wanted to hear the undertakers tell them for themselves what had actually happened.

The mourners had already decided what to say and who would say it.

"The deployment of low-level demons failed in its attempt to acquire territory."

"They were stopped by humans and died at their hands," the mourner in the middle said in a deep voice.

The "recently" here actually refers to something that happened about two weeks ago.

What happened half a month ago only reached the depths of the demon territory in the last two days.

It should be said that the Undertaker's attack failed, and they started heading back half a month ago. They only managed to return here in the last two days thanks to spatial magic, and then reported back.

The territory possessed by the demon race is extremely vast, and it would be impossible to traverse it in ten days or half a month using normal means of movement.

Even with the aid of spatial magic, it took the Undertaker nearly half a month to reach the depths of the demon territory.

Humans.

Is that something a human can do?

"In the end, low-level demons are just low-level demons; they can't even deal with humans."

"No, even the weakest low-level demons have their limits; they are not people who can kill them."

The marquises took turns speaking, one after another, and the latter would only begin after the former had finished speaking, so it didn't seem chaotic.

"I've also heard from other nobles that humans are attacking border cities, and some border nobles have already been killed by humans."

"The minor nobles on the border are not even as good as some low-level demons."

"But they are still nobles recognized by the Demon King, and among the demons of the same level, they are already strong."

In short, it's not something humans can handle.

Let alone the "low-level 4 demon zero" they mentioned, humans are, in their eyes, a low-level species that can't even beat the wild dogs on the side of the road for demons.

There's no need to discuss whether humans are strong enough.

The fact has already happened: humanity withstood the attack of the low-level demons.

The question we need to consider is how to acquire the territories we failed to obtain.

Deploying low-level demons to conquer non-demon territories within ten years is the task of every king.

These kings certainly wouldn't personally take action to invade, so they delegated the task to the grand dukes below them.

The dukes, of course, wouldn't do such easy dirty work themselves, so they assigned the task to the marquises.

The marquises, of course, wouldn't go to the border to do this, so they thought of releasing low-level demons.

If this were a few hundred years ago, they would have been happy to fight against other races.

Moreover, they weren't nobles before; conquering territory did indeed grant them titles.

But now, even if we conquer human territory, it doesn't count as a significant contribution.

To all the demons, it was nothing more than an anthill.

What does it matter if you personally go and occupy an anthill?

What's so great about smashing something you can just shatter with a flick of your wrist?

It would be most suitable to leave it to some brainless low-level demons.

"If the low-level demons can't handle it, let the viscounts handle it."

"Let the viscounts handle it; the conquered territories are theirs to manage."

"I think it's possible."

This place is too far from the border, and their intelligence is severely outdated.

Therefore, the task could only be left to lower-ranking nobles who were closer to the border.

“What if even the viscounts can’t stop the humans?” a marquis suddenly asked.

"Then let the earls go."

"feasible."

"feasible."

……

"We've arrived. This is the city of the Succubus King."

The flying demon, resembling a giant bird, transmitted its voice to the succubus Rose.

"Okay, thank you." Rose nodded with a smile.

Chapter 117 The Succubus King's Territory

Once upon a time, a group of succubi who escaped from human territory obtained the qualification to travel to the territory of the Succubus King by flying demons through special means.

After an unknown period of high-altitude life, and traversing countless mountains, they finally landed in the city of the Succubus King.

The succubus Rose landed in the wilderness outside the city, nearly ten kilometers away.

The flying demon, resembling a giant bird, communicated with her telepathically.
