The villain just wants to go offline

Chapter 97 The Beginning of the Holy War

On the border of the Magvolia Empire, beyond the Expedition Pass, beyond the city of Kresse, there is the other side of the border bounded by the Monster Forest.

The land is no more vibrant than the human race, covered with green plants. The demon race's land is full of rugged rocks, desolate, with sandstorms, and a harsh climate.

The sky in the Demon Race area has always been dim and blood-red moonlight under a blood moon. It seems that the blood-like color is the most suitable for this race.

And this land is filled with bloody killings all the time.

The demons are short of resources, and every bite of food is precious. Two humanoid monsters are fighting for a mouse, crawling on the ground, naked, and covered with a layer of lizard-like green scales.

These were two lizardmen fighting over a mouthful of food.

Scenes like this appear in every corner of the demon clan.

Until the sky filled with smoke and dust rolled in from the horizon, countless demonic armies attacked and swallowed up the two lizardmen who were fighting for food.

In this way, the demons along the way were absorbed by this group of demons who didn't know when they would appear or rise, and gradually formed a huge army.

Then there is no more.

Barbasto glanced at the evil dragon Baham next to him and cast a questioning look.

clatter! clatter!

His nails hit the stone armrest of the throne, making a sharp sound.

"Where is the third elder, the fourth elder?"

A pair of terrifying scarlet eyes slowly opened in the darkness, showing a trace of laziness and indifference to everything.

And in this castle that had been empty for a hundred years, he welcomed his new owner.

The Demon King nodded and gestured.

In the center of the demon clan is a huge and ancient castle, on a cliff, backed by the rainy and thundering night sky.

The elegant old goat held a cane, snorted, walked up to a quiet place under the throne, set up a chair that was still intact, and sat down.

Baham spat, and a large mouthful of saliva filled with sparks, splashed on Barbasto's leather shoes, and snorted: "Sheep's hooves wear leather shoes, and you can't tell the difference between human feet and hooves!"

The goat-headed demon Barbarsto, Gentleman Weiwei, bowed and said: "...the third elder, the Undead Archmage, is still in the process of resurrection. The Undead Territory is currently ownerless. I believe that there will be a new Necromancer to take over and lead him soon." The army of the undead rushes to our aid.”

The goat-headed demon nodded its head towards the demon king on the throne. After all, he was the demon king born in this family.

"Uh-huh!"

"Your Majesty the Demon King, the news has been notified to the entire Demon Clan. It stands to reason that everyone will come. As far as I know..."

The First Elder, the Goat-Headed Demon: Barbasto is here.

Some leftovers were knocked to the ground.

"Hmph~~"

The black-haired burly man snorted angrily at the old sheep-headed man. At first glance, he looked like a reckless man who didn't know anything.

"Bah hum~~"

The demon clan, which has been multiplying for hundreds of years, once again gathered into a large army and rushed to the Demon King's City.

Important characters also arrive one by one.

On the throne that had lost a corner, a figure nearly three meters tall was sitting on the throne. The shadow covered most of his body, and only a pair of devil horns and the hooves of sheep trampling on the ground could be vaguely seen.

After waiting for a long time, the other two elders did not arrive. The Demon King sitting on the throne could no longer pretend to be asleep and opened his eyes.

Then the evil dragon who appeared in the Second Yuan Dynasty appeared, and the huge black dragon body rushed into the castle hall, trampling to death several demons that were in the way. Sparks flew from its mouth from time to time, and every step made the Demon King's City crumbling like a dilapidated house.

Further into the depths of the demon clan is a city close to the Middle Ages where civilization began to be established.

Barbasto smiled and didn't care, and said to the Demon King: "The Blood Ancestor went to destroy the elves during the last Holy War and then lost news. His whereabouts are still unknown, and the Blood Ancestor Heraloth does not have the Blood." She is so dependent that we don’t even know her life or death. The best plan is that the Blood Ancestor is sealed somewhere so that the blessing of the Blood Ancestor will not interrupt the inheritance.”

This is the second elder of the demon clan, the evil dragon: Baham.

Just by looking at it, you will find that the village has long been deserted, and there are messy footprints on the ground, covered by the wind and sand.

Densely packed demons began to gather, and more demons began to gather towards the center of the demons.

Inside the main hall of the Demon King's City, filled with a gloomy atmosphere of terror.

The miscellaneous demons on the periphery were driven towards the center of the demons, while the demons in some settlements were captured and driven towards the center of the demons like wild beasts...

As the evil dragon roared, the figure of the black dragon gradually became smaller, and finally turned into the image of a strong middle-aged man with a dragon horn in his black hair.

He glanced at the sparse figures under the throne.

"Human beings are really unreliable if they eat rubbish inside and outside!"

The Demon King's voice was very low, and his eyes moved to the first elder Barbastor. As a member of the same race, he naturally received preferential treatment and attention.

...which is the Demon King's Castle.

Further within the borders of the Demon Clan, instead of the miscellaneous soldiers who only knew how to kill through instinct, villages began to gather, and all kinds of Demon Clan began to live together, huddle together for warmth, and fight against the harsh living environment of the Demon Clan.

"As for the fourth elder."

A black hole-like magic wave appeared in the darkness, and a pair of demon wings slowly opened, revealing the figure of a demon with a goat's head and a human body.

The demons believe in the law of the jungle, and conscription is a unilateral order from the ruler.

"Roar!"

The sheep-headed demon's face darkened and he was spat on. No matter how gentleman he is, he can't hide his grace.

"Ignorant person!"

With a loud shout, the ram-horned demon will teach the evil dragon Baham a lesson and show him why he is the first elder.

"Politeness does not apply to demons. Big fists are the last word. Whose fist is harder?"

Baham vividly displays the fierce style of the demons.

The momentum of the two elders exploded, shocking some of the nearby demons who came to tremble, and were pushed to the ground in embarrassment.

"Stop it all!"

The Demon King shouted coldly, and the black magic power spread out, dispersing the momentum of the two elders, and said in a deep voice: "It is the beginning of the Holy War, not the time for internal fighting. The third and fourth elders are not here, and the war cannot be carried out. Delay is the time for rectification. I will not allow anyone to participate in internal fighting. Anyone who violates this will..."

"…die!"

As soon as the word "death" came out, the whole place fell into deathly silence, and a shadow of death enveloped them.

"As you command, Lord Demon King!"

All the demons, whether they were the goat-headed demon Barbasto or the arrogant evil dragon Baham, knelt on one knee and bowed their heads in loyalty.

brush!

The demon king waved his cloak, stood up and stepped on the stairs step by step. The sheep's hooves made a crunching sound. He searched for the throne and stood in the middle of the stairs. He shouted loudly: "The demon army is mobilized and will march out today to crush the human race!" "

"Let the holy war and the iron hooves of the demons trample on humans again!"

"Kill, kill!"

War is undoubtedly the most exciting thing for the demons, and war means burning, killing, looting, food, and no need to starve to death.

Every war is for a reason.

Humans occupy the fertile land and have no worries about food and drink, while the demons are driven to barren lands outside the borders and live a life of risking their lives for a mouthful of food.

Only war is the way out for the demons.

The demon army marched out savagely, gathered from the Demon King's City, and formed a dense demon army from the Demon King's City, heading in the direction of humans. The prelude to the holy war is about to begin.

.........

Just when the demons were already mobilizing for war, the Magvolia Empire also entered a state of war readiness.

The Holy War, which is approaching a hundred years, is coming, and the empire will naturally not be unprepared. The moment there is trouble among the demons, the news has been sent back to the empire.

There was an undercurrent of war in the empire.

King's capital.

Our brave lord is in an excited mood, and his mind is filled with expectations for his future slaves and companions.

Say so.

If you want to buy slaves, you have to find the black market, but finding the black market is also a problem.

The brave warrior who has just arrived is not familiar with the place at all.

Are you talking about asking the saint?

Asking the imperial princess where the black market is in the empire is like holding a lantern to find a thief.

I'm afraid that even if I slap someone in the face, I won't have a good time either.

After asking around and paying a certain amount of gold coins, Leo finally found the entrance to the black market.

Enter the black market and go straight to the underground underworld.

The street is located underground in the royal capital, like a small underground city. In the dark environment, only the dim magic stones along the street shine.

The streets stink, and garbage is piled up everywhere.

There are people sitting on the ground and setting up stalls on the street, holding rare equipment and strange monsters in cages. There is no sound of selling, and some of them are just people who lower their heads and observe.

Leo walked into the black market and covered his nose. The smell was worse than the cesspit in the village.

Leo, a well-known hero now, has to wear a mask when going out, so he has experienced the troubles of being a celebrity.

You have to act like a thief whenever you go out.

"Warren, I feel that being too famous is not a good thing. There is no privacy at all. Every time I go to the toilet, there are people knocking on the door and taking toilet paper to sign."

In just one day, Leo was almost collapsed by the fanatical fans.

After complaining to Valen, Leo entered the black market and began wandering around, looking for slave traders.

Usually slave traders are located in the most remote places in the black market. With Valen's reminder, Leo walked as far as possible into the narrow alley.

as predicted.

After Leo entered a narrow alley, he found that there were fewer people setting up stalls on the ground and more shops were opening.

At Valen's reminder, Leo looked for the slave merchant's unique mark.

"found it!"

Leo followed the wall and drew some strange symbols on the wall, which were the marks that guided the slave merchants. He praised in his heart: "Valen, you are still very useful."

"In human terms, when will I be useless?"

Valen said unhappily. Knowing that Leo was teasing him, Valen did not refute.

"Ha ha!"

Laughing, Leo hurriedly followed the marks and found a shop located in a very hidden corner.

The shop is set up like a tent with curtains drawn, a bit like the roof of a circus.

Leo opened the curtain and walked inside.

With the help of the light emitted by several ceiling magic stones, Leo looked around and could see rows of stacked iron cages in the darkness, which should all be cages for slaves.

But what Leo was confused about was that the cages were all empty and he didn't see even a single slave.

This is very confusing.

What confused Leo the most was that he walked around the slave shop without seeing the boss. The boss abandoned the shop, leaving only an empty shop.

Warren: "There are no slaves here. Maybe it's deserted. Let's go check out other places!"

Leo turned around and left the slave shop, walked around, and found another one.

It was almost the same scene, the shop was empty, there was no boss, and there were no slaves.

But Leo didn't look like he was abandoned.

Until Leo found a slave shop that was more dilapidated than the previous ones. The store only had a space of ten square meters. Here Leo finally caught a slave merchant who had not disappeared.

But Leo looked at the slave merchant as if he was about to leave, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the boss.

"Wait a minute, I want to buy a slave, I don't know if there are any more."

Leo grabbed the slave boss's hand. Because he was just an ordinary person, he couldn't break free from Leo's shackles.

"Slave? No more. I am just a businessman selling ordinary slaves. If you want to find a powerful slave, you have found the wrong person."

The slave trader was a short old man. He kept trying to break free from Leo's hand and said angrily while jumping to his feet.

"But I searched all the slave shops, and they were all empty. Not even the boss was there, and there were no slaves."

After finally catching a slave trader, Leo naturally had no reason to let him go. Of course he couldn't let him go without asking clearly.

"What does it have to do with me!"

The old businessman puffed his beard and stared, but when Leo pulled the man into the shop and put the holy sword on his neck, he immediately shut up.

"Hero, put down your sword and tell me what you want to ask!"

After swallowing, the sword blade was only a few centimeters away from the old man's neck. Any closer might draw a line of blood and kill him.

"I want to know where all the slaves are and where I can buy slaves."

Leo asked directly.

"You can't buy them anymore. You can't even buy slaves in the royal capital. All the slaves have been bought out. Even ordinary human slaves have been bought out!"

The slave boss shook his head and pointed to his shop: "I am just a seller of ordinary human slaves. Even my ordinary human slaves have been bought by others."

"It's because all the slaves have been bought, so we plan to capture more slaves now and take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money."

"How could this happen? Who bought the slave?"

Leo yelled angrily.

"We don't know, we don't know. We just know that we can't afford to offend him at all. It seems that the largest slave supplier has come to take back all the slaves."

The slave boss said fearfully: "If we don't hand it over, we will probably all die. If we hand it over, we will get a lot of income."

"That's all I know. If a good man wants slaves, he can buy them outside the royal city."

"get out!"

Knowing that he wanted to get the answer, Leo let the person go, but was so angry that he smashed it.

"Ah ah ah, who is it, who is always against me?"
