In this human realm, the legends of heroes and the existence of many powerful individuals have kept the situation at a stalemate.

The sprites are playing a game similar to Plants vs. Zombies, where they cultivate plants.

The dwarves, on the other hand, have a completely different style; their main focus is on suppressing enemy firepower.

The trenches, machine gun emplacements, and artillery barrage might evoke a sense of returning to World War II for some brave souls.

Well, here's another tidbit.

It is said that the trenches dug by the dwarves were not actually very deep, and the dwarven machine gunners inside were firing while standing on small stools.

What? You're saying the orcs were preparing to surrender and try raising the white flag?

These creatures, who bear some resemblance to demons, proclaim that orcs will never be slaves unless they are provided with food and lodging.

However, the Demon King had no plan to use them first and then deal with them, and directly rejected their surrender.

So the battle between the orcs and the demons began.

The various races are quite powerful, but the Demon King has sent out his Four Heavenly Kings, who are also top-tier experts. For the time being, none of them can do anything to the other side.

"This is really..."

"You'll get used to it. At least we've gotten used to it. These old neighbors are always quite fascinating."

The king patted El on the shoulder, saying that the young man was still too young and lacked the experience and knowledge of someone like him.

"really."

As for the neighboring countries near the human kingdom, which one's territory should we visit first?

His first goal was to go to the dwarves, because the dwarves were very skilled at forging, and he hoped that they could forge him a set of sturdy and durable kitchen utensils.

After all, as the hunting of ingredients becomes increasingly difficult, cooking these ingredients also becomes more complicated.

Just like this time, even the flesh of the Flame Demon Lord's abdomen needs to be cooked at extremely high temperatures.

Even a standard cast iron pot won't last long in this situation.

It's not that he can't cook using magic, but without cooking utensils, it always feels like something's missing.

"And I've heard that the one who dealt with the dwarves was the Mountain Giant, one of the four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King."

Standing up, it's bigger than a mountain; how much flesh does that have?

This is so intriguing, especially for a chef like him looking for new ingredients.

"It's decided. My first stop is the land of the dwarves."

“No problem, Mr. White, we’ll give you your certificate of heroism first, and your supplies are here…”

As a hero, El is about to set off.

The demons have also made their plans; this time, it will definitely be a decisive blow against the hero.

"Is everyone ready? We only have one chance. As soon as we see a brave person, we all get to work."

Medusa is the key player this time. As long as Medusa completes her task, we're guaranteed to win.

They chose to ambush, and the ambush location was on the road leading away from the capital.

The journey was long, and the kingdom couldn't be completely without any oversights, which gave the demons an opportunity.

"It's a shame about that guy; he's such a coward, he absolutely refused to participate..."

The Great Demon lamented that the vampire count ultimately did not join their siege plan, but left prematurely.

Before leaving, he said he wanted to bring news of his uncle's death back with him.
