"Hehe, over here, over here..."
In the early morning in the Greer Forest, the little fairies chased and frolicked, playing in a normal way... frolicking and weaving among the flowers, displaying the beauty of these ownerless little monsters.
Although these little fairies live in the Demon King's territory, they do not belong to it. Born from flowers, trees, and stones, these little fairies are, in a sense, distant relatives of elves.
They appear freely, meet freely, and form groups freely... seemingly with pure and innocent hearts, playing freely in the forest and working hard for their tribe.
Generally speaking... the job involves building miniature mud houses and then happily running around.
"Come over here~ There are some really beautiful plants here."
Called by his fairy companions, a little fairy who was looking into the darkness of the deep forest blinked, put aside the strange feeling he had sensed, and happily reunited with his companions.
"Here it comes~"
"..."
The environment of Greer Forest is not exactly bright, but some light still shines through the gaps in the leaves. Unlike Silvermoon Tree Garden, the daytime here is true daytime... However, the place in front of us, which should have some light, is just pitch black.
Greer Forest did not allow the sunlight to penetrate the layers of leaves and shine on the ground, but instead casually displayed that patch of shadow... The crabapple blossoms also began to droop their buds.
"drizzling".
"Hehehe~"
...
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like there are sounds coming from deep in the forest, as if something is active there. Then... the feeling is no longer the feeling.
Eyes of various shapes opened in the darkness.
—————The dividing line of the Demon King's territory—————
"I'm looking for Satan Ye!"
As Yinla spoke, she seemed quite anxious, while the black knights guarding the door simply made way for her... though it didn't seem to do much to protect Satan Leaf.
But in such a tense situation, Yinla was truly grateful that the Demon King's Territory was such a lenient country...
"Silina! Satan Ye... Wake up, wake up!"
Yinla shouted nonchalantly, and it was very clear that a small, battered fairy was perched on his shoulder, being healed by his healing magic.
With the lich's wings hovering behind him, he came to Satan Ye with a menacing air, looking like he was really going to beat Satan Ye up... but the black knights around him casually made way for him.
It makes one doubt their loyalty.
However, this time there was indeed another reason...
"Hmm? Lady Yinla?"
"Hmm... Mr. Yimra~"
With her hair all messy and Satan Ye in his pajamas, both seemed to be trying to wake up. In an instant, they realized... something terrible might have happened.
Otherwise, given Inra's personality and behavior, she wouldn't be so impolite.
"To make a long story short, the little fairy on my shoulder is a refugee who fled from the forest..."
As Yinla spoke, he pointed to the little fairy that did not belong to the Demon King's territory and said, "The magical beasts of the Greer Great Forest have rioted. The previous giant bee riot was not accidental. Now the beast tide is breaking through the forest and surging outwards."
As she spoke, Ira watched as the serious-looking Sirina dried Satan's hair, and quickly recounted the current situation: "The monster horde could break out of the forest at any moment, gather its forces... including the vast majority of the demon race, and prepare to establish a defensive line."
The so-called demon species naturally refers to the lesser demons and their evolutionary paths. It seems that this opportunity can be used to further increase the evolution speed of the lesser demons.
"No need for too dense a concentration. Let some of the demonic energy escape to other territories within the demon-controlled area. You gather your troops... I'll go and inform Senata, and have her vampires notify the other territories to prepare for the attack!"
After saying that, Yinla immediately went downstairs and headed towards the vampire castle... leaving behind Sirina and Satan Ye, who had given up on washing up and were nervously putting on their clothes.
Of course, they knew this wasn't a "catastrophic disaster," but rather something that could cause considerable trouble if not handled properly. While Yinla could easily kill most magical beasts with fire, however…
Then there would be no meat to eat.
Moreover, even if it were Yinla, it would be impossible for her to hold off the monsters charging in all directions at the same time. This monster tide would definitely affect other territories outside the Demon King's territory, and the lizardmen's territory would naturally be the first to be affected.
If they were suddenly attacked by a beast tide, those territories would naturally suffer heavy losses... In any case, they have already submitted to the Demon King's territory, so we can't just sit and watch the show.
That part of the "offering," or rather the "taxes," is not merely a symbol of submission, but also a symbol of accepting the rule of the demon king and being protected by him.
It is only natural for the Demon King to protect the demons!
At this moment, the Demon King is still young, so... Yinla needs to take responsibility.
"Senata!"
"Ira shouted, while Senata was already frantically relaying messages through the bats," she said rapidly. "Miss Vera has already told me! I'm alerting the surrounding territories as quickly as possible!"
Wow, that's incredibly efficient!
Impressed by the terrifying efficiency of this place called "Demon King's Territory," Yinla nodded. After communicating with Tikkap in his mind and confirming that he had notified the other leaders, he immediately flew downstairs... to inform the people who needed to be notified, the children rescued from Hazlosa.
They need to stay obediently in the Demon King's territory and not run around.
"Um...humans..."
At this moment, the little fairy on her shoulder opened her eyes. She felt a reassuring aura emanating from Yinla and, gripping Yinla's collar tightly, cried out, "Save...my people..."
"I know."
As Yinla spoke, he shielded the little fairy from the wind brought by their flight, saying, "I'll arrange for the resistance against the beast tide first, and then... I'll personally go and rescue those little fairies, don't worry."
"Hmm~"
"..."
Seeing that the little fairy seemed relieved and was about to fall asleep, Yinla quickly asked, "Wait, don't sleep yet. Do you know what happened? Why did the monsters gather into a beast tide?"
In the early morning, a little fairy found him, saying that she had found a wild little fairy who was seriously injured. After hearing that a beast tide was gathering, Yinla quickly flew to the direction of the forest to take a look. After realizing that it was true, he immediately returned to inform everyone.
My understanding of the specifics was limited to what I told Sylvanas and Satanieh.
"We discovered before... the monsters deep inside are suddenly growing incredibly fast. We've been seeing monsters every day recently, not just in the forest, but also on the distant grasslands. It seems like they've run out of food."
"..."
Wait, if that's the case...
Yinla's eyes widened.
...
Is the area not limited to the vicinity of the Demon King's territory?
