I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

A team of knights, seemingly blind to the dominoes and eyeballs crushed underfoot, arrived at the Copper Heart Gate.

Through the window, Li Yue saw them escorting a tall female knight.

The female knight, with her golden hair and full armor, didn't look like she was visiting a tavern; it seemed more like she was there to arrest someone.

Li Yue became alert, and then also noticed the shadows in the cellar sinking into an eerie silence.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open, and the patrons and adventurers couldn't help but step back, making way for the knights of the Kingston family.

"Good evening, adventurers." The female knight was, of course, Jessie, the cross sword at her waist being very conspicuous.

Li Yue thought that hiding in the restroom now would be too conspicuous, so he sat at the table without moving.

"Oh… damn, if I were wearing such a suit of armor, I think even I could kill a dozen skeletons…" the bearded Danny muttered softly.

"What? Scared by the demons? Perhaps I've come to the wrong place?" Jessie and her knights puffed out their chests and raised their heads, looking down at the people in the tavern.

Perhaps encouraged by the knights' majesty, the adventurers also raised their heads and straightened their backs in unison, as if receiving an inspection.

"But, in this war… pure-blooded demons are not the main force," Ji Xue shook his head, "Instead, the bone creations and unknown technologies of the Demon King's City are beyond your expectations, and are the main culprits for your small losses."

"Before the Battle of Holy City, the Demon King's City had experienced a period of explosive development, and the bone cities and bone cannons they just saw, even tanks… were all manufactured during that time."

"You don't have enough experience to deal with pure-blooded demons, you even stored a large amount of Holy Light, equipped the steam machine soldiers and clockwork warriors with heart-locking functions, and also used cold-resistant armor…"

"That war against the Demon King's City, the specific strategy is of course confidential, but surely some of you want to know more…" Li Yue paused.

The adventurers didn't seem surprised by the appearance of the reporter and camera, tacitly acknowledging that the Kingston family needed such a display.

"The Demon King's City has the Abyss Maw! There are countless demons outside the Abyss Maw!" An adventurer who knew a little about the Demon King's City took a step back and questioned Li Yue.

Jessie understood upon seeing this.

"The scholars and engineers of the Creation Department… are still discussing why the Demon King's City can't break through the limitations of resources, and raise its military strength to such a scale in the absence of Memphisto…"

It should be some kind of skill on the path of the knight.

But at this moment, people were immersed in this rain, uneasy, not knowing when the expeditionary force would descend from the sky.

"If your mentality is like this, then going to the battlefield is indeed courting death." Ji Xue's expression didn't change much because of that question, "Your statement… sounds like we are bound to lose this war."

So the main reason is resources?

Jessie also had a new understanding of this red-robed skeleton and the demons around it—they are all intelligent, research-oriented demons?

"Hmm… much better." Jessie smiled with relief, seemingly not just here to find cannon fodder as the adventurers discussed, but rather somewhat amiable.

"Join the Adventurer's Guild, and you will find the answer there."

Ji Xue looked towards Jessie's table.

No wonder the Empire is so eager to occupy Riftgold Mountain and establish armories…

This is really quite unexpected.

"With all the resources of the Empire and the Old Church, confronting just one Demon King's City, we will surely win!"

Li Yue was full of confidence, and the adventurers present also seemed to be encouraged, straightening their bodies one by one.

The reporter popped out of the wooden box, quickly writing down that passage in the notebook, preparing it as the headline for tomorrow's morning paper.

"Regarding bone carriages and bone creations, we already have some understanding, and are developing methods to target the demons in the world…" Li Yue pointed to the dominoes and eyeballs on the ground.

"Just like before the start of the Battle of Holy City, the Empire originally thought that the Demon King's City's power was only this much, misjudging the demons' trump cards, which led to the victory of this war."

The adventurers were silent.

"Your questions… I have heard them all, and I will answer them one by one." Li Yue raised his hand, and the adventurers automatically fell silent, as if they had rehearsed it well.

"Is that so? You saw it just now, didn't you?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Jessie, Jessie Kingston, and I have come here tonight to form a new Adventurer's Guild to protect our homeland." Jessie walked to a table, and the adventurer under the table automatically got up, making room for her.

Does this mean the Ji Xue Lun family shares happiness with the people?

"Click!" A puff of smoke emerged, the reporter freezing Li Yue's heroic posture at that moment, as well as the fervent reactions of the adventurers present.

The Demon King's City's battles are not fought with an endless sea of skeletons, but with true creation technology.

Ji Xue, of course, hid in front of Danny, dodging that burst of strong light.

And along with Ji Xue's speech, the knight behind her made way for a person holding a wooden box, aiming it at Li Yue's table, and adjusting the angle of the wooden box.

Perhaps it should have been Kingston who came, not the New Church.

"What's the use of the Adventurer's Guild? Is it sent to die?" Finally, an adventurer questioned the issue that everyone was very concerned about.

But Jessie felt a pressure when Li Yue raised his hand, and this pressure, combined with all the knights beside Li Yue, pressed over, as if slapping her in the face.

Is there going to be a report of Li Yue inspecting the mines and armories?

"That's also why… our armories are operating at full capacity." Li Yue didn't ask further, nor did he reveal the Empire's trump cards, but instead released the knights' pressure again.

If it weren't for the rain of eyeballs, Li Yue's remarks would have been enough to attract the adventurers, and it could also show the Kingston family's concern for the people.

"Until now, we don't even know how this war started!"

Li Yue, of course, didn't dare to be out of place, and sat up a little straighter.

"Although there isn't a concrete conclusion yet, scholars believe that what the dominoes just showed is the Demon King's City's latest inventory." Li Yue's voice suddenly became sonorous.

The reporter was still setting up the camera, wanting to capture a full view as much as possible, and the adventurers, seeing that Li Yue didn't seem too resistant to such questions, began to speak one after another.

"But here, I will only say it once." Li Yue signaled everyone to listen carefully.

"How is the Empire planning to fight this war?"

"Airplanes? Airplanes don't make a sound in this war, I heard that all the pilots have been killed, they all went to die!" The adventurer continued to retort.

Did Li Yue come to the tavern for a public relations campaign?

Jessie was fully aware of her status as a wanted person, and also took advantage of the excitement of the crowd to get up and avoid the camera's angle.

But when Li Yue looked over, the adventurer was, after all, an adventurer, shrinking behind someone else.

"I understand your concerns about this war, but no war is guaranteed to be a sure win…"

"It's not to say that the Demon King's City can no longer manufacture endless amounts of shells and creations like in that war."

"As for how 'this war' started… I think someone here might give everyone the answer."

Li Yue was sitting upright as he spoke.

That's a camera, right?

It was only after hearing Ji Xue say this that Jessie deeply considered "this war."
