The vampire count chose a strategic retreat, but he did not inform his other teammates of the situation.
On one hand, the idea that a human hero equals a gluttonous lord sounds too fantastical.
If it weren't for their vampire-like intuition, they wouldn't have sensed El's aura as the Lord of Gluttony in the ruins before.
Even during this meeting, Earl Page might not realize the problem.
If I told my teammates about this, they might think I was joking.
"The hero might be the demon king, but it's unlikely that the hero is the demon king."
"Vampire, are you awake?"
The thought of their possible responses made Earl Page think it would be better to let his teammates die.
On the other hand, as everyone knows, friends are one of the three essential items in tabletop RPGs, alongside the crowbar and the old seal.
What do you do when faced with unavoidable danger? Don't you still have friends?
“Great Lord of Gluttony, now that you've eaten them, you can't come and eat me…”
I'm so sorry, my comrades. It's not that I've ruined you; it's this chaotic world that has ruined you.
Wiping away non-existent tears of guilt from the corner of her eye, Peppa even increased her flight speed.
Its subordinates are all struggling to keep up.
"Sir, why are you running so fast?"
"The adults must be in a hurry to send the intelligence back; this is what they call racing against time!"
Its subordinates were imagining some strange things again, leaving it speechless for a moment, but also wanting to praise them.
You guys are really a bunch of talented people.
As for the capital? What happened next was pretty much as the vampire count had predicted.
The morning parade was over, and during the lunch break, El went out for about ten minutes.
No one sensed anything was wrong, and there were no sounds of fighting during this time.
Only when El returned did the king smell a very faint scent of blood.
"Hero, what is this?"
"We spotted a few demons during the morning parade. We don't know when these guys sneaked in."
I remembered them all. I was lucky; only one vampire escaped, the rest were all caught.
"Wow, to escape from your clutches, this vampire who survived is quite something."
That was all the conversation the two had, as the king had to return to attend to official business.
In his office, the documents that had finally thinned out a bit were now piled up like a mountain again.
The king had originally wanted to find an excuse to take a break during the victory banquet, but the chief court magician came to him with documents in hand.
"Your Majesty, you still have a lot of work to finish, so you cannot rest now."
"Hiss... Terrifying, our king is truly powerful."
A sense of respect for the king welled up within El; he rarely admired anyone, but the king was one of them.
A true warrior dares to face a massive workload and endless overtime.
He finally understood why the king's brothers and sisters were scheming against each other, all in an effort to make the others stronger so they could inherit the throne.
"Is this the world of royalty? I really don't know much about it."
[Because the demons who came to spy on you, apart from the vampire count's party, all the others became your food.]
