The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 52: THE MIRACLE

He thought he could kill as much as he could and harvest thousands of delicious souls. But unexpectedly, his opponent's defense was weak to the point that they had no defense at all. The gate to the city burst open in less than two hours, and the battle ended.

Not only did the city not have a large number of elf troops, but the civilian population had long since been evacuated. After killing the guards, Xeron had only received a hundred souls, even fewer compared to the previous pegasus knights! How could Xeron be happy?

　

　

To think that he had specifically stopped for a day to repair the siege equipment, but it was not widely used at all.

In his battle, Roy had secretly captured some larger souls, but he did not take more as there were only a few souls, and he would easily be found. After the battle ended, Roy found Xeron and said, “Your Majesty Xeron, there should be a large number of troops in the city, but they were all withdrawn for some reason!”

Xeron doesn't need Roy to tell him that. He could see for himself. He asked Roy curiously, “Why do you think they're backing out?”

　

　

“Um...” Roy pretended to think for a moment before replying, “I think it was most likely because a stronger enemy appeared..”.

“What do you mean?” Xeron looked distracted for a moment. “Is there a stronger enemy than us?”

“Of course!” Roy replied firmly. “Isn't His Highness Rashka a stronger enemy? Perhaps His Eminence Rashka was attacking other cities, causing the elven army here to go in their favor. I can't think of any other reason why the elves left! “

Xeron laughed in annoyance. “How is it possible? Supporting another city means losing a city here. The druid elves were not that stupid. Besides, how could Rashka's army be stronger than mine? “

“At first it may not be possible, but not necessarily so now!” Roy said in a meaningful tone. “Your Highness Xeron, with all due respect, since you have received reinforcements, His Highness Rashka should as well, right?”

Xeron's surprised. “You... you mean..”.

“Yes, that's what I mean. Reinforcements should be the responsibility of His Holiness Ignatius from behind, right? So he decided how much each side got! ” Roy's eyes sparkle. “What if he calls more troops from this but only gives us a small part while His Eminence Rashka Rashka gets the majority?”

Xeron. If this is true, then Rashka's army must be stronger and bigger than mine. We agreed early on that Ignatius would summon most middle and high level demons. Even if there were not many high-level demons, their combat power was a league above low-level demons. Now that I only have a few evil spirits as reinforcements without a high-level demon in sight, who knows if Ignatius managed to summon them or give them all to Rashka?

　

　

Roy's words planted a seed of doubt in Xeron's heart, and he inevitably said, “Shouldn't he? What good is this for Ignatius? ”

Forgive my honest words, Your Majesty Xeron! Said Roy. “If I don't remember wrongly, Your Highness Rashka and His Highness Ignatius came to see you together?”

“Ya..” Xeron nodded.

　

　

Roy just said here and then shut up. But the underlying meaning was already very clear, making Xeron difficult to think otherwise.

Yes, maybe the two have actually reached an agreement in secret. No wonder Ignatius was willing to stay in the city of demons and not come out to fight and kill. They must have reached an agreement!

As Xeron thought about this, he began to calculate how many souls Rashka would gain due to the increased military might. If he did not know and used his own advantage as the standard, then Rashka could be silent about the additional souls he obtained. In the end, they would split it secretly, and he would get nothing! How could they do this?!

Xeron finally saw the light after Roy's words! He could not stand it but cast a curse in the most vile language on Rashka and Ignatius.

After swearing for a while, he finally calmed down and asked Roy, “Fortunately, you are here. If not, I will stay in the dark. Now, tell me, what should we do? Go back and ask Ignatius? ”

“No no . Don't ever do that! ” Roy shook his head. “Your Excellency Xeron, have you thought about it? If you raise your suspicions to His Holiness Ignatius over the unjust allocation of troops, and then he used it as an excuse to keep you in the Demon City to summon troops while he led the army, what would you do? At that time, the two of them could get out of control in hiding their profits .. “

Xeron suddenly understood, Indeed, he could not ask Ignatius about this in front of his face.

　

　

“Your Majesty, as you can see. Now that His Highness Rashka's army was so strong, the elves viewed him as a threat and preferred to leave the city to provide reinforcements against him! ” Said Roy. “In other words, this is equivalent to His Majesty Rashka snatching away the souls that should be ours. If this continues, our souls will be fewer and fewer! “

Xeron nodded. “Yes I understand . The only thing we can do now is rush ahead of Rashka! ”

The elves only had so many soldiers. The more Rashka was killed, the less Xeron had to kill. Under these circumstances, all Xeron could think about was fighting over the number of employees.

He is now misled by Roy. In fact, the withdrawal of the elf army had nothing to do with Rashka. Xeron only needed to send an envoy to Rashka's side to take a look and would be aware of it. But now, Xeron was overwhelmed with anger and did not think about this. His focus was placed on how he could fight over the number of employees with Rashka.

Furthermore, Xeron's forces began another round of rapid marching, deep into the territory of the Erathian kingdom, slowly moving away from Rashka's forces!

Roy watched in silence. It could be said that he had promoted all of this in secret. Due to the letter of challenge, the elves had discovered the true motives of the demons and started shrinking their defensive lines. And Xeron began to lead the army alone deeper out of jealousy, anger, and greed. At that time, he would likely face the ambush of the elves who had accumulated superior strength! Without Rashka and Ignatius to back him up, his future was bleak.

All of this was the result of a letter and a few words from Roy. Although this small act was simple, yet precise and direct, resulting in these serious consequences.Since becoming a demon, Roy found himself more skilled at using trickery and manipulation. He wondered if this was the innate nature of the demons playing …

Of course, since Roy was in Xeron's army, he would also be in danger when Xeron was in danger.

　

　

Therefore, Roy's next step is to consider how to get out of it. It was extremely dangerous on the battlefield, and preserving his life was his first and foremost priority. Just by making sure he was alive, he would have a chance to escape Xeron's control …
