Chapter 546 – 156. Harem’s First Wife (1)
“The enemy who invaded the Demon Kingdom was annihilated! My soldiers!”
I didn’t shout that loudly.
However, the demonic energy that naturally radiated from me spread to the surrounding space.
The sound quickly filled the battlefield.
With just that sound, the spirit of the beast that was slaughtering the soldiers slowed down.
I checked the situation of the soldiers.
It appeared to have suffered considerable damage.
[The Demon King’s army was more on the defensive than I thought. If you had defeated that apostle later, he might have been in danger.]
Ustina was right.
Above the ground, a huge, withered trunk could be seen.
Traces of the demonic beast of destruction remained.
‘Even though it’s already extinct, it seems to be spreading magical energy.’
If I hadn’t dealt directly with the beast of destruction.
The monster of destruction that extended its stem to the ground would have annihilated the soldiers on the ground.
However, it was different now.
I have extinguished the demon of destruction.
If it raises the morale of the remaining soldiers.
He was able to defeat the remaining monsters and their traces.
I shouted at the soldiers once more.
“The apostle army that exists on this battlefield is no longer in danger! I will be with you, so don’t be afraid!”
So the battlefield was filled with my voice.
“Master?! The lord has returned!”
“The master has defeated the apostle!!”
“Lord Julian!!”
The soldiers who recognized my voice shouted in unison.
Morale seemed to rise at once.
I came down to earth with Ustina.
There was Aitekia, the general of the unified Demon King’s army.
“Your majesty!!”
The white dragon hurriedly approached me.
“Your Majesty… You did it! Did you really defeat that apostle!! No, I’m really glad you were all right before that!”
He knelt down on one knee with a look close to astonishment.
In a real sense, I could feel that he was loyal to me.
I, who has already become the owner of Magi.
I could naturally feel all the emotions of the demons who use magic.
“You worked hard, Aitekkia. It must have been a very tough fight, but he did his best.”
“No! All of them are His Majesty’s Silver Balls!”
But I hurriedly got him up.
“Come on, finish it!”
“All right!”
The demon king’s army, whose morale reached its peak with my return, defeated the remaining forces of the apostle army.
The final battleground of the Demon Kingdom, Balkaen.
There, the united Demon King’s Army won a great victory.
***
My party and I entered Yekares, the capital of the Demon Kingdom.
Sixty percent of the soldiers of the unified Demon King’s Army survived.
“It was… A great war.”
Eirin whispered.
I was assigned the highest seat in the demon castle.
The devil’s bedroom where my father, Lucifer, once lived.
I was resting there for about three days.
Command and Ustina advised me to get some rest.
It couldn’t be.
One o’clock was in a hurry.
Now that destruction is right around the corner.
I had my last enemy left.
Drunk Knoia.
He had to prepare for the final battle to annihilate Knoia.
‘We have to concentrate all of Island’s forces on the imperial capital, Teria.’
However, I am located in Yekares, the capital of the Demon Kingdom.
The physical distance from the imperial ecliptic was considerable.
So preparing for the final battle in perfect order is almost impossible.
‘But I should have made direct contact with the imperial palace where Lilia is.’
Only then can the devil know the situation of the resurrected Guhwangdo.
However, there was a way.
When evolving Siertia into a Divine Sword.
I was able to reconnect with Lilia temporarily.
The power that transcends physical distance is divine power.
Now, as now, Unir’s divinity has been completely revived.
I had no problem communicating with the ecliptic through the Great Temple of Unir here in Yekares.
Being able to communicate with the Imperial Palace.
So, I was coordinating the plan for the final battle in detail.
In the process, Eirin went to and from my bedroom to report on the progress of the work, just like now.
“The soldiers of the Demon King’s Palace will also need a break. Heading to the primeval forest seems like a few days later, just like this report. That’s the right idea.”
I looked at the report and said to Eirin.
“I don’t know if it’s actually possible… But I believe in the words of the young master.”
Like Erin said.
I was making plans for an impossible march.
Now, the remaining forces of the unified Demon King’s army are 10,000.
Although it was a very small force compared to the number of Imperial forces.
They are demon soldiers.
And he was the elite soldier who survived the battle in the Demon Kingdom, which was like hell.
‘I need that power.’
The annihilation of the demonic Knoia.
I’m sure I’m holding the sword hilt for that job.
It’s not something I can finish on my own.
I had to risk my life just for annihilating the Demon God.
Even if Knoia was annihilated like that.
Like when the old empire perished, Knoia could be resurrected at any time.
‘Humanity today. With the power of that new human race…’
What mattered was everyone’s will.
New people who live in Island now.
As the owners of Island, their will was important.
The will of life to never give Island to the ghosts of the old mankind.
And the center of that will had to be me.
It means that we must advance to Guhwangdo with them and annihilate Knoia.
‘That’s the true meaning of God of mankind.’
I needed those believers in order to fully express my godhood.
If those people would unite around me.
He might be able to generate power that transcends his current godhead.
Of course, the demon army that has been with me in the demon kingdom is a greater strength than any other people.
So I’m thinking of taking them to Guhwangdo.
‘There’s also the White Night Knights there.’
As much as the Demon God has been resurrected, in Old Hwangdo, there must be a worse demonic scene than the giant nests that I encountered in this Demon Kingdom.
So, the best of mankind had to make the way for me.
The way to the drunk Knoia.
However, the problem is also a physical limitation.
‘Distance is the problem.’
The Demon Kingdom is in the eastern part of Island.
And the ecliptic and the old ecliptic are located in the middle of Island.
It might be said that the distance in a straight line is not too far.
In reality, they were cut off from each other by huge mountain ranges.
In other words, in order to reach the ecliptic, you must detour to the south.
‘It’ll be late if I do that.’
Bypassing the entire distance will delay your arrival by more than a month.
And monsters and nests still exist throughout the empire.
There is no certainty that 10,000 soldiers can safely be brought to the imperial city.
So I set up a near-impossible plan.
To cross the Altern Mountains that no great army has ever crossed.
And the starting point in the middle was the primeval forest.
‘It’s not completely impossible.’
The holy place of demons.
To be able to go through that primeval forest and the world tree.
Same as meaning that you can receive a special buff.
And I in that primeval forest.
I was thinking of going through a special ceremony with two lovers.
One of those lovers, Eirin, didn’t know what I was thinking.
He was busy moving his bedroom and working.
‘Eirin…’
Now is the time to really decide.
The fate of all mankind is already in my hands.
However, it precedes the name of the monarch named Julian von Reinhardt.
I had to end up with two women who looked after me for a long time.
It wasn’t the halfway words of a lover or a prospective wife, as it is now.
As a couple for sure.
Of course, I was thinking of holding a ceremony with other lovers as well.
Also, these two are special.
A harem made by me as a demon dragon.
At the top of the harem, it was to be decided that the surest first wife would lead the reconciliation with her other wives.
So it means you have to decide who to marry her first.
I’ve been putting it off for a long time.
I was thinking of deciding in that primeval forest, the World Tree.
My first wife.
‘Maybe I feel a little sorry for Lilia.’
By imperial law, my fiancée was Lilia.
Of course, as the Emperor of the Empire, she should be my first wife.
Already, that law didn’t matter to me.
‘It’s a primeval forest…’
He intended to have a child with his first wife.
Of course, I did not tell any of my lovers about that decision.
Even Eirin in front of her wouldn’t know that I was thinking that way.
“Young master?”
As I stared at her blankly, Ai-Lin tilted her head as if she was curious.
Her trademark bobbed hair.
Her appearance has changed a little since the last time she was in the Demon Kingdom and sealed in Siertia.
Ei-Lin’s hair has grown considerably to become her long hair.
‘Although it was still a maid outfit.’
Suddenly, I wanted to stroke her hair.
I sat down on her bed first and called Ei-Lin.
“Eirin, would you like to sit here for a second?”
“Yeah?!! That’s… Oh, I see.”
Although Eirin was embarrassed when she said that out of the blue.
Still, she sat next to me without saying a word.
Ei-Lin smelled her good scent.
Although, as always, she put on her subtle perfume to hide herself.
For me, it is a scent that I remember for sure in my head more than any other scent.
As he stroked her hair, Ai-Lin blushed.
However, it did not hesitate like before.
She tilted her head and put her face on my shoulder.
After a while, the two’s eyes met.
“Young master…”
I could tell what Ei-Lin wanted just by looking at her eyes.
Soon, the two of them put their lips together.
