How to become a Demon Lord: The Former Hero's Journey as a Demon Lord!

Once the pleasantries were done, the king immediately called the servants from outside to come in and they began to set up a large assortment of food on the table. Floid loke around and he noticed that there were no guards in the room. The king must've wanted to keep their meeting as private as possible so he only invited Maryleen and the head guard. Floid wondered why the king didn't invite Freya as well. Didn't Maryleen say that Freya was a very high-profile figure in the kingdom? Maybe she's busy with other work?

The king grinned as he stared down at the food on the table. There was a lot of cake and other sugar confectionaries on the table. The food here was made using the last desert in the castle since more supplies were coming soon!

"Please, join me, and let's celebrate this new friendship between the two of us! If you can keep bringing me the supplies from Trad then I will make sure to continue treating you this finely!"

The king urged Floid to eat as much as he wanted! Floid's grin only widened as he leaned back and just waited.

It wasn't up to ten minutes later that Trevor suddenly got a call on his communication circle! The call was from his subordinate and he excused himself to answer the call!

.....

After Floid's ships passed the outposts and got halfway towards the coast they all started to remove their illusions! All the regular boats disappeared and in their place were battleships crafted from metal and magic! Once the illusion cleared, hundreds of demons could be seen on every ship! All the ships were filled to the brim with demons! Giants and orcs! Imps and goblins and even succubi and incubi! They all released large battle cries as they sailed towards the coast! Their excitement was so loud that it reached the coast that was more than ten miles ahead of them!

Aquinas' coast had two hundred ships that were always stocked and ready for battle! Their marine forces were their main defense and so they made sure that there will never be a situation where they would be caught off guard! If the outpost ever sends them a message that they were under attack, then all the sailors would immediately go out to defend the kingdom!

But they didn't get the distress message from the outposts this time! They were all shocked when they heard the shouts coming from the demons! Floid's ships appeared on the horizon and they all stared with wide eyes as they saw the demons screaming in excitement!! How did this large number of ships manage to pass the outpost without them getting a warning!? The commander of the marine forces immediately rallied his soldiers and the kingdom rang the alarm bell to warn the kingdom that they were under attack!! A loud sound rang across the entire kingdom and everyone was immediately aware that they were under attack!

The sailors all boarded their ships and they prepared to fight! They didn't have any time to evacuate the citizens since the invaders are already at their doorstep! This means they have to stop them right here and prevent them from going any further!

"Board the boats! Don't let them get any closer!"

The commander of the marine force shouted this as he also boarded his ship. The Aquinas ships had a captain's post where the driver was supposed to stay. It was a tall square structure at the back of the ships and the commander immediately entered one of the ships and sat down inside the captain post. He put his hand on top of two magic circles at his side and a clear vision of what was in front of him appeared on a magic screen and he breathed out a tense breath as he immediately started up the ship!

Meanwhile, the demon army was slowing down their advance as Dragonnel rose his hand. Dragonnel stood on the same ship as Rizi and she looked at him in surprise as he stopped them. Why aren't they moving closer?

"Just watch. The demon lord also prepared for this,"

Rizi turned back to the coast and waited to see what would happen. It didn't take long before she heard the most beautiful sound she has ever heard in her life coming from the ocean. It was like angels were singing. Rizi felt her entire body calm down and she shook her head as a small voice started telling her to move towards the sound, but she was able to stop herself! What in the world was that!?

"It is the [Song of the Sirens]. A high-level magic skill that only one race can perform. Luckily, they're on our side,"

Rizi immediately knew who they were. Mermaids.

[Song of the siren]

Aaaaaaaaaaaahh~

All around the coast, men from the marine force were gaining glassy eyes as they heard the beautiful sound coming from the ocean. The sound was like a melody of peace. It called to them and told them to let down their guard. They don't need to fight. They don't need to run away. Come to me. Come here.

The song of the siren was a mental attack skill that would easily ensnare and lure in unsuspecting humans. If someone had a high enough mental defense then they will be able to defend against it, but these sailors had no such thing!

One of the men started to lean over the hull of the ship as he heard this song. A hand came out of the ocean and the man's eyes widened in glee as he saw a beautiful woman coming out of the water. She was completely naked from the waist up and he could swear that he has never seen anyone as beautiful as this in his life. She leaned up and kissed him and he gladly accepted the kiss! He just kept on leaning down until she dragged him into the water with her! He was so happy! He didn't need to fight this! This is everything he wants in life!

All around the coast, soldiers were getting pulled one by one into the ocean! The mermaids had mesmerized the men with the song and the men had no way of fighting back!

Booommmmm!!!!

Then all of a sudden, a loud explosion resounded across the water as the commander of the coast guard fired an artillery round toward where he saw some mermaids gathering! The mermaids hissed at him in anger as they immediately swam back under the ocean! Once they swam under again, the commander of the coast guards shouted an announcement through the communication circle!

"Get yourself together men! Don't allow them to fool you with their beauty! These monsters are demons that will kill you! Don't stop for anything! Charge now!!"

The men managed to get themselves back as the commander's voice overshadowed the song of the siren! The ships started up and they all fired their artillery rounds as well! The mermaids had no choice but to drop back into the ocean and the soldiers that were not drowned got themselves back! The commander had his eyes focused on the ships coming! He hoped that the soldiers remaining would be enough to handle this army! The mermaids had already taken down a third of their army in that short time and they were going into a handicapped battle! But they will not back down to some damn demons! They will win here no matter what!!

The demon lord's army saw that the mermaids were no longer able to continue their song and Dragonnel immediately commanded the demons to charge! The ships were being driven by various dwarves that Rizi trained herself and the dwarves all poured their magic into the ships and started it up and the two armies charged for each other!!
