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 Thirty-One: Hidden Trigger (shuhaige.net)

The half-demon territory displayed a calm acceptance of the arrival of the Demon King's army, as if everything was under control... No troops came out to resist; on the contrary, some came to greet them.

There was even a carpet laid out at the entrance to welcome everyone.

Beside the half-demon territory, an open space had been prepared for the Demon King's army to encamp. There was nowhere to hide the troops, and there was no trace of Mana around... It was unlikely to be a trap.

The remaining four territories were indeed tough nuts to crack, which was perhaps the reason they chose to betray the Demon King's territory...

"Gentlemen, please~"

The half-demon team responsible for receiving the several leaders, who exuded an overwhelming aura, said this: "There are quite a few leaders here this time. Apart from the little fairy, Yuuyu, and Mr. Rim, all the other leaders are here, including Sirina."

"..."

Yinla felt Satan Ye's questioning gaze and curled his lips... At this point, it should have been Satan Ye who made the decision, but it didn't matter anyway.

After confirming the location of the stationed troops, Yinla nodded simply and, led by the half-demon, entered the half-demon's territory... through the beautiful gate.

The gates on either side of the territory's entrance seemed to be used to receive caravans from other races. Even with the Demon King's army pressing in, they could still conduct business at their own leisurely pace.

To be honest, it's quite interesting...

Led by the half-demon welcoming party, the group passed through the roads of the seemingly prosperous half-demon territory... the prosperity here couldn't even compare to that of the Demon King's territory.

With the arrival of caravans from various countries, including humans, orcs, and elves, the high mobility of the population in one of the largest trading cities in the Demon King's territory brought extremely high income and prosperity.

It's easy to imagine that the tax revenue from the half-demon territory would be substantial.

Along the way, many half-demons glanced in this direction. They looked no different from humans, except that they had horns belonging to demons and demonic markings on their faces that symbolized their demonic bloodline.

Demons are generally infertile, except for very high-level demons, or succubi and succubi subspecies that are naturally fertile... such as dream succubi, little succubi, etc.

These half-demons all have succubus blood. Perhaps their direct parents were not succubi, but their ancestors must have had succubi who left behind their blood and mana.

Rice ball reading

Children are the result of the union of blood and mana, and that is why the governors cannot have offspring... because they do not have mana to produce offspring.

The governors' original mana has all been transformed into [wing pillars] to carry the mana of others.

During the war, trading territories, including those of half-demons, were the first choice for war merchants to conduct trade and resupply, with the Demon King's territory being the second choice.

Therefore, this place is definitely useful.

That's how Yinla judged it... And as everyone knows, for Yinla, things that are "useful" and things that are "useless" are treated drastically differently, as if his emotions have no effect on his actions.

The Lord's Hall in the half-demon territory is a rather luxurious place. Although its architectural style and scale are certainly not as grand as the Demon King's castle, its interior decoration is quite extravagant.

It's a decorative style that's not opulent but rather exquisite and beautiful... that's the difference between nouveau riche and those with deep cultural roots.

"Gentlemen, Chief Somjet is waiting for you. Please follow me upstairs."

The half-demon who had been leading all the leaders stopped at the entrance of the lord's hall, and another beautiful female half-demon took over, saying this and leading everyone upstairs.

The half-demon leader, Somjet, seemed to be making quite a show of himself.

Neither the well-mannered Sirina nor the straightforward Rainbow Shell could be considered pleasant at this moment, and Inra wasn't in a good mood either... Vampire matters were already troublesome enough, and now they were doing something similar to the Empire.

They really ran right into the line of fire.

"..."

However, Yinla was always quite patient with things that were useful, so all the leaders marched up the wide staircase in a grand procession... There was a very large conference room there.

Upon entering the building, one can see a half-demon, who appears to be in his thirties, sitting at one end of the large round table in the conference room. Behind him are eight half-demon guards, while on this side of the table is a chair.

A chair?

Yinla couldn't help but frown.

...

Just as everyone's mood soured, the male half-demon revealed a welcoming smile and greeted them, "Your Highness, the half-demon territory has been waiting for you for a long time. Please be seated."

"..."

Satan Ye blinked. She looked at the single chair in front of the large table. Having undergone much training, she naturally understood the other party's meaning. Instead of sitting down, she narrowed her eyes, revealing a fierce look.

The fact that her tail was frozen in mid-air made it clear that she actually had no idea how to deal with this situation.

Instead, Yinla smiled, making the half-demon and his half-demon guards tense up... To be honest, Yinla didn't understand why the other side dared to bring only such a small number of guards...

Oh, I see. There are quite a few hidden around here, representing various races, including humans.

“Satan Ye, sit down…”
