On the surface, the entire city has been suppressed by the Chaos Demons, and all organizations, including the Baron's Mansion, have been controlled by the Chaos Demons.
Unbeknownst to them, the Nightmare was secretly controlling everything, and those being suppressed were actually just puppets.
However, this does not affect the heroes' actions, nor does it affect what Arthur is going to do.
After hearing Lycorina's explanation, Arthur's eyes lit up;
"Can my homeless people make this place their new home?"
He won't stay here, but his people will grow in number. Wouldn't placing them in the Demon Realm be the least likely place for other humans to notice?
This will facilitate his future clandestine operations.
"Can't.
At least not for women.
"If they are male soldiers, it doesn't matter how many come."
An Yi immediately objected;
"I learned from the orc representative that after orcs are enslaved by demons, their offspring will all become demons to some extent."
After many generations, they will completely transform into demons, and will even indiscriminately attack other members of their own orc race.
I fear that if humans thrive and multiply here, they too will turn into demons.
“This… thank you for reminding me!” Arthur’s eyes widened, and then he nodded to An’i in gratitude.
This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.
Fortunately, he did not rashly send his people into the demon territory, since there must be pregnant women among the many villages and towns inhabited by humans.
If their children were to become demons as a result, then he, as the king, would have made a grave mistake!
Thankfully, it was the Sword Hero who gave the advice; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
After deciding to send some warriors to "fill the scene," King's Hero Arthur quickly left Nightmare City.
An Yi also had a premonition that she might not see this "King of Men" again from now on.
The other party is taking a completely different path from the Saintess Squad. Too much contact with the Saintess Squad would actually hinder his own development.
From the moment he was chosen, he was destined not to rely on the popularity brought by other heroes.
He has to rely on himself for everything.
The League of Heroes can offer him all the help he needs, but his own personal charisma can only be cultivated by himself.
The exaggerated character descriptions written in the story do not help him at all.
To become a king loved by the world, the overly popular Saintess Squad is actually something he needs to stay away from.
After all, it's still in its early stages. If the people's worship were to shift to the Saintess Squad, then we'd be doomed.
Meanwhile, the warriors sent to this city will not make contact with the Saintess Squad.
When Arthur's warriors arrived in this city, the Saintess's Squad had already advanced towards Viscount City.
Both the Saintess Squad and the King's Hero have goals that go far beyond just this one small city!
The next day.
"I'm planning to go to the Viscount's City up there to investigate," An Yi said to the three members of the Saintess Squad early in the morning.
"Is it just Annie going alone?" Layton asked, puzzled.
“Well, it’s just a viscount’s city,” Annie said.
Q: "Then...I..." Milu hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
It seems better to let her handle the U investigation or something.
Lycorina smiled and shook her head at Miluko: "It's alright, let Anyi go by herself. He must have his reasons for not letting Miluko go."
Milu grinned: "Ah, that's true..."
“Yes.” Annie nodded. “Be back before tonight.”
Nine. "Go on, go on~"
After a brief conversation, An Yi left the Baron's mansion, carrying the [Pseudo-Demon Lord's Veil], and began her journey towards the [Flame Demon Viscount City].
He didn't care whether the matter could be resolved peacefully, nor did he mind carrying the head of the Flame Demon Viscount to meet the Earl above.
He just hoped that what awaited him in the Flame Demon Viscount's mansion was not an ambush from all sides.
After all, killing so many level 13 demons would take some time.
Several hours later, at the residence of Viscount Flame Demon.
Lu: "Has this day finally come...?"
Viscount Flame Demon, seated on his throne, watched the figure slowly approaching from outside the gate and sighed softly.
Ever since he last met this strange baron, he knew that his position as viscount was no longer secure.
I was fully prepared mentally and ready to leave this city, so I just felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) and a little regret.
What does this matter compared to life?
Viscount Flame Demon stood up, stepped down from his throne, looked at An Yi who was approaching, and spoke;
"coming?
"Let's go, I'll go with you to see the Earl."
In the empty hall of the Viscount's mansion, Viscount Flame Demon's voice sounded exceptionally clear.
“Okay,” Annie replied.
Chapter 46 Nightmare Viscount's Domain (4k)
Reaching the Count level means one can actually be considered a mid-level member of the demon race.
Compared to the numerous viscounts and barons, the number of earls is not large.
The succession of viscounts and barons is very rapid, while at the level of earl, there is usually a very powerful family behind them, which is fundamentally different from the lower-ranking nobles.
In the early days, the demons who could become counts were usually very powerful demons. These powerful demons would then form a powerful family, which would be stronger than other demons.
Usually, the only competitors are other demon clans. Those hastily assembled, misfit families with varying strengths and lacking foundations are simply no match for these clans that have existed for hundreds of years.
Furthermore, since the concept of a family system originated with the counts, counts would also use their family name as their title.
For example, in the early battle of Sword Demon Castle, An'i pretended to be from the domain of Count Inpersia.
In reality, the surname was just used randomly at the time. "Domain" refers to the entire territory managed by the Earl, which includes a large number of viscount cities and baron cities. It is a completely different concept from the Earl's city.
The demons might not know that someone is from a baron's city, but they can get away with saying they are from an earl's domain.
The Earl of Petersen's House.
Behind a desk in the spacious room, a gigantic, strangely shaped demon sat in a specially made chair.
Its body is made of hard black skin covered with twisted patterns, and it has as many as six arms, like withered black branches.
At the ends of the four arms at the back are not ordinary hands, but huge scissors of various shapes, some as sharp as blades, some covered with serrations, some so heavy they seem capable of crushing rocks, and the last one is slender and delicate.
The remaining two hands are normal and capable of writing and grasping.
【The Devil of Scissors】
Edward Peterson.
His head wasn't large, and he wore a cold steel mask on his face. There were no patterns on it, but three slits were cut out to reveal his eyes and mouth, which just happened to reveal a squinting, grinning face.
However, beneath that smiling mask, a deep sorrow lingered on his dark face, which was as dry and hard as the rest of his skin.
While sending his subordinates to stabilize the Viscount City below, he was also waiting for a demonic organization in the Viscount City that could rise to power.
At the same time, this period is also a period of observation.
The task was to send subordinates to investigate which viscount city's demon organization was "qualified".
However you look at it, those scoundrels are far inferior to the original viscounts, and they probably have a long way to go before they can be recognized by Earl Peterson.
He was already frustrated because eight viscounts had died under his command, and he dared not speak out against it.
Seeing that everyone below is utterly useless, my blood pressure skyrockets!
Can't you come up with something useful?!
"uncle."
Outside the door, Count Peterson had already sensed the other person's arrival before the other person even spoke.
"Speak," he said in a deep voice.
"Viscount Flame Demon has come to visit, saying he is preparing to step down."
"Fine, fine, so you're stepping down now?" Earl Peterson said, slightly annoyed.
But it’s not incomprehensible.
It's not surprising that a group of his viscounts were scared away after a sudden death.
Moreover, Viscount Flame Demon had already mentioned his intention to step down beforehand.
Earl Peterson did not agree at the time, but...
The Flame Demon Viscount said that upon stepping down, he would relinquish his viscountship to another powerful demon.
Count Peterson thought that since the other party recognized him as a demon, there was no harm in meeting him.
“I told him that he should bring the next candidate for viscount when he cedes the title.”
"Did he bring it?" Earl Peterson asked his nephew outside the door.
"I've brought it." The other party said solemnly, "Excuse my bluntness, Uncle, but the other party is probably not simple. You'll understand once you see him with your own eyes."
"Not simple? That's good." Earl Peterson chuckled. "It's better than being useless!"
After hearing his nephew's words, he also became somewhat interested in the candidates recommended by Viscount Flame Demon.
For their family, being told that someone is "not simple" is already a very high compliment.
Because it was inconvenient to put on a cloak with his hands behind his back, he only wore a shawl that covered half of his body as Count Petersen headed to the main hall of the Count's mansion.
