I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Layer upon layer of lava rained down from the sky, as if a gate to another world had been opened, unleashing endless flames. As all the demons' attention was drawn to the explosion in the sky, Memphistos reappeared, his entire body larger than before.

"Explode! Erupt! Burn away!" Memphistos shouted words with little practical meaning, but the demons below roared like they had been injected with stimulants, their voices and magic soaring into the sky, not dissipating, but gathering in the clouds, along with the lava, around Memphistos.

As if an invisible hand tightly grasped the unseen voices and magic, kneading them repeatedly, causing sonic booms to frequently erupt in the high sky, and lava to surge, playing the prelude to war.

"Let humans once again become the bait and nourishment for demons, let humans once again recall the fear of being dominated by demons!" Memphistos's pre-battle mobilization was simple, but the demons' enthusiasm had been completely ignited by him. "The treasures and lives accumulated over centuries are all ours!"

The only response to Memphistos was the demons' howls, and the more intense and dense sonic booms in the sky.

Li Yue noticed that within the First Army's formation, several red-robed priests and bishops were conducting some kind of ritual. It seemed that even the demons' fanatical emotions would not be wasted, and perhaps some phenomenon that would shock the Chaos Continent would form…

"Found you."

Just as Li Yue was looking at the sky, observing the sonic booms in the clouds, the shadow on the wall suddenly wriggled and turned into a line of small characters.

"Where are you?" Li Yue followed the shadow's extension and sensed it, finally locating Yingying's location within the First Army's formation.

Here, Steele Baby was smiling and looking at the sky, looking at Cinderas, but because he was too short, he was completely blocked by the pure-blooded demons around him, so Li Yue couldn't find them after searching for a while.

And Dandan was not with them. Li Yue guessed that he should have been loaded into the Shadow Space to avoid causing trouble.

Li Yue couldn't imagine what the humans here were experiencing, only feeling that this was no different from a natural disaster, and the demons' indifference ignited the entire continent.

Li Yue silently recorded this information.

After a brief exchange, the departure ceremony was completed, and Cinderas in the air grabbed the constantly wriggling and exploding lava above his head, flapped his wings, and turned towards the white-purple portal.

"The Seventh Army is a mobile force. While the First Army attacks the Holy City of Memphimie, we will penetrate deep into the hinterland, sever the connections between various cities of the Tas Empire, and also carry out plunder." Yingying quickly shared information with Li Yue.

Fortunately, the demons' attention was focused on Cinderas in the sky, and no one noticed that Zhai Ren was exchanging messages with the shadow on the wall.

Soon after, the sky far to the west of Demon King City was suddenly lit up, and a ferocious demonic face of Cinderas unfolded, overlooking all living beings on this continent.

"Steele Baby is good at negotiating with demons. I said that the First Army's target should be the Holy City of Memphimie, where there is a lot of time that has been wasted by humans, which is very suitable for him to regain his strength."

"Departure!"

"You know it." Yingying stretched, "He remembers, the Abyssal Maw, when you really want to get Hellfire, wait for me."

"Generally speaking, the demons present are too weak, and it's not worth killing too many." Yingying seemed much calmer and more restrained before the First Army's battle preparations.

Indeed, it was much more organized than when Bobo led the army.

And the struggle for power would begin from the Colosseum. I hoped that when Oogway Boogie came back… he could get Hellfire and bring the King of the Colosseum on board.

"Perhaps the next time we meet, the Library will be completely different." Zhai Ren drew an airship in the shadow.

Zhai Ren thought, no wonder he had to invite the Ghost Ship Gossip, and no wonder he had to install so many Nightmare Incubus and demon merchants under the bed.

Li Yue and Yingying's communication was all completed amidst the demons' howls and sonic booms. Lulu and Feifei were also watching, desperately wanting to go over and touch their partner, but Zhai Ren stopped them with the Freak Puzzle.

"The war is about to begin, now is not the time to go to the Abyssal Maw…" Li Yue signaled Yingying to be patient, "After they leave, more heroes will run in. The Demon King City will be very interesting. After I have prepared the early stages, I will clean up this bag."

"The Eighth Army will carry out seduction operations against the two royal families and various nobles, and also go to the Sea of Death to communicate with the Sea People and strange creatures, paralyze the Tas Empire's naval power, and cut off the humans' limbs and retreat…"

Overall, with the Demon Expeditionary Force's eight armies dispatched, the first operation would mainly target the Holy City of Memphimie, while also trying to weaken the Tas Empire's power as much as possible…

"No problem." Zhai Ren's finger划了划 on the wall, making a promise.

"Perfect." Li Yue wrote words on the shadow with his finger, "I thought you would be in the Eighth Army… The Eighth Army seems quite ordinary."

Immediately afterwards, gunpowder smoke dyed the portal, Cinderas flapped his wings, and the First Army started its formation, entering in order. The demons' howls resounded through the sky. As the Demon Expeditionary Force invaded this white-purple space, the demonic sound reached its peak and lasted for a long time.

"The Abyssal Maw is different from when you were born. I secretly went to the Hellfire side once, it's very safe." Yingying also gave Li Yue a latest map of the Abyssal Maw, the roads were intricate, and Li Yue could only memorize it for now.

"That shadow is very small, I hate it very much." Yingying directly regarded Li Yue's envisioned future as a gift, "We will also prepare gifts for him, for them."

Li Yue knew that this was not the full picture of the Demon Expeditionary Force, and he didn't care too much—while the internal power of the Demon King City was weak, strengthening the Library was Li Yue's strategic goal.

Having a rough idea of the Demon Expeditionary Force's situation, Li Yue instructed Yingying, who was about to set off: "If you are attacking the Holy City, you must be careful, there must be a lot of Holy Light there."

Perhaps building some advantages for the seventh stage of the war?

"Are you saying I'm ordinary?" The shadow wrapped Zhai Ren's finger, then suddenly receded.

At Cinderas's command, the red-robed priests cast spells, and the ripples inside the portal began to spin. Cinderas threw the lava and sonic booms into the portal, and the ripples instantly boiled completely, bursting into flames.

Li Yue didn't know where the other side of the portal was, and neither did the demons below, but the faint explosions coming from the door and the silence after the explosions… became the most pleasant melody in their ears.

"Aww–" Lulu and Feifei in his body were also howling. Li Yue knew that they should have been affected by the "Demon Encouragement", and hurriedly covered their mouths with his chest muscles.

"Of course." Li Yue couldn't arrange the time to go to the Abyssal Maw yet—acquiring the Thunder Pool was headache enough, not to mention having to go to the Underground City in between to catch a dwarf for the Library.

Li Yue thought this kind of change was good—in that case, at least Yingying's probability of being greedy for merit in the Battle of the Holy City would be much smaller, and she would be less likely to be hurt by the Holy Light.

"How about it, don't you really want to come and twist and kill right now?" The ritual was still going on, and Zhai Ren joked with Yingying.

"First Army." Yingying hadn't contacted Li Yue for many days, and the handwriting was jumping up and down, "I'll help him keep an eye on Oogway Boogie."

The demonic face melted, and a rain of lava fell from the sky, the burning air permeating the entire area, everything was no longer clearly visible.
