After Being Betrayed by the Empire, I Decided to Support the Demon King

Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

Chapter Seven: Evacuation from the Demon King's Territory

"Chirp chi ...

"..."

"Yes, I understand... You should also tell these messages to the other kings."

Satanye nodded, tilting her head as she pondered the information Tikap had told her and Sylina... Well, how should I put it, the situation was indeed much better than she had imagined.

In fact, it's far, far better.

Dying and resurrecting at will... It's hard to imagine that they can access such power right now, but to be honest, it doesn't boost morale at all.

The concepts of life and death have become even more insignificant in this world, which doesn't particularly respect the dead or have any special reverence for killing.

“Silina?”

Satan asked Sirina beside him, "The little Crimson Dragon Demon King is already really looking like a Demon King... Of course, the biggest reason is probably that her cloak is too cool."

It's really interesting; it seems like cloaks come with a built-in "Prestige +100" stat.

"What's wrong, Prince Satan Ye?"

In response to Sirina, Satan looked out the window of the room and watched the busy monsters carrying weapons for the final battle... and also watched the Demon King's territory become very beautiful.

"How much longer until we set off?"

When asked about Satan Ye's question, Sirina blinked. She remembered that Satan Ye had just asked her the same question not long ago. She replied, "This afternoon... there's still an hour left. We'll be leaving soon."

Then, as a very competent maid, Sirina understood Satanye's emotions from her face, and couldn't help but place her hand on Satanye's head and ask, "Are you reluctant to part with her?"

"..."

Yes, of course I'm reluctant to part with it...

The current strategy is to abandon the Demon King's territory, let the beasts of the World Tree destroy everything, and have everyone in the world go to the Great Plains outside the Empire for the final battle... The probing is over, and it's enough.

The World Tree Beast doesn't have any special abilities. Apart from its life force being linked to the state of the world itself, it's simply strong... whether it attacks with the branches extending from its body or with its hands and feet.

Aside from ignoring all evasion techniques such as virtualization and softening, it's just the simplest form of attack, but that's enough to make it difficult for the whole world to resist.

"Yes, I can't bear to part with it..."

As Satanye said this, she propped her chin on her hand and looked out of the Demon King's territory... The wheat fields and the neat roads were significantly different from the Demon King's territory of the past.

All of this is thanks to the changes brought about by Iraq.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with specific things..."

Satan Ye pouted as she spoke. It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with these "changes" or any specific thing. As she spoke, her voice became hoarse, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Demon King’s territory, I watched her gradually improve, watched Mr. Ira busy himself, and listened to him constantly asking me… how to do this, how to deal with that, I really can’t bear to part with these things.”

They couldn't bear to part with the present situation, they couldn't bear to part with these things that held so many beautiful memories, but they had no choice but to give them up and watch as the beast of the World Tree destroyed them.

"..."

Shirina didn't know how to comfort Satan Ye, because she was in the same boat... She looked out the window and vaguely saw a group of goblins shouting "Greetings, Lady Ira!" as they ran around plowing the fields.

Ira, meanwhile, was making notes as she continued on her way...

But when they came to their senses, all they could see were many hurried-looking monsters... Their eyes were filled with sadness, reluctance, and some other inexplicable emotions.

The emotions towards that [World Tree Beast] that destroyed everything... Even though that thing doesn't seem to have much intelligence or mind, it is still more hateful than any calamity.

Taking away a child's pocket money is far worse than deliberately tearing up a child's favorite doll.

"Don't be sad..."

In the end, all Hillina could say was this dry and unconvincing.

"I am not sad."

As Satan Ye spoke, tears streamed down her face. Without wiping them away, her voice betrayed suppressed emotions: "I'm just very angry."

"..."

Yes, Sirina knows now... What are those emotions that appear in the eyes of all the monsters and all living beings? That inexplicable emotion is called "anger," which is being angry, hating, and indignant.

The whole, including herself.

"Sylina, do you think Mr. Ira is watching us? Will he be angry?"

Satan asked this question, and Shirina nodded affirmatively, saying, "Of course, Lord Ira must be very angry, but... if he also dies, then we will have nowhere to go after we die."

"..."

"I hope Mr. Ira can hold back."

"yes."

——————————

Snake Sheath looked at Ira, and couldn't help but ask as she looked at Ira, "Ira, are you angry? Hmm, you seem really angry... After all, you were the one who built those changes."

Ira squinted at the screen... Yes, he was quite angry.

"Saying that I did it myself is not quite accurate."

As she said this, Ira finished the last sip of her cola, roughly crushed the can with one hand, and threw it into the trash can, saying, "I only provided the idea and the plan; the actual changes were done by the little monsters."

But there is no doubt that Iraq has also put in a lot of effort.

Snake Sheath looked at the trash can, at the squashed and rolled aluminum cans, and while mourning for them in her heart, she realized... Wasn't Ira already furious?

"Ahem, as they said, I hope you can still hold back."

Snake Sheath couldn't help but say this, reminding her, "Now all the good things are in your soul... If you die, then my sister and I will really have no choice but to take you and Satan Leaf away."

That's why the whole world is so happy. If Ira himself were to die, it's uncertain whether he would still be so special after his resurrection... Maybe all the good things would vanish.

The continuation of heritage and the world may well become castles in the air.

"I know...I know."

As he said this, Ira sat on the sofa with a twitch at the corner of his mouth. He frowned as he watched the World Tree Beast accurately locate the dwarf's bunker and then stomp on it until it collapsed.

Then, the World Tree Beast's next target... was the Demon King's territory.

"..."

Damn it, I'm so angry!!!
