So the war finally began.

The day after the war began, in the castle of Kroni , I stood behind my master waiting for her dispatch in the master's room.

In the distance, Solz had already led his troops to set up camp near the city of Lahs and began the battle for the city of Lahs.

Solz and his men had been preparing for the war for a week, while the master was busy those days. She often found Solz.

Therefore, these days I also had a lot of free time to do my own things. No matter they were the tourists on the street or soldiers standing guard over the city, I asked all the people.

In short, I knew more about the general situation of the Demon Kingdom from the people I asked.

The master's popularity seemed to be very bad among the people. I didn't feel that the master was a very bad monarch, after all , she gave me the impression that she was strict and not weak. But after seeing the situation of the people at the bottom, I didn’t believe my eyes.

The life of the people in the demon race is miserable. It is really the same as what that old man said. Only the Imperial Capital was prosperous.

The Demon Kingdom is like a militaristic country in World War II on Earth, where the master as the head of the country keeps growing the number of soldiers in the army, all for the sake of war.

Then how to make the people of the demon race coorperate and go to war obediently?

One is to increase taxes, so that all of the people in the country are very poor. Therefore, in order to feed their families, the demon people have to go to the army to earn military pay so that they can subsidize their families.

The second is to force conscription. What does that mean a forced conscription law? That is to say that the master will make this forced conscription law, According to this law, everyone who has reached to a certain age must serve in the military. Besides, if the war has started, the number of soldiers is not enough, these people have to go to the army, regardless of gender. If anyone is unwilling to comply with this law, his behavior will be equivalent to committing a crime, which means that he must be subject to punishment.

In the whole country, except for the widespread economic depression in the Imperial Capital, however, there were no corrupt city officials appearing. It seemed that they deliberately made things difficult for the people at the bottom.

The master increased the tax not because she used the money to live a luxurious life like those ancient Chinese powerless rulers did , but spent the money on the military.

Although the military power of theDemon Kingdom is very strong, I think such a country will not go far, because this country only focuses on the military. However, other causes in this country are deserted, and almost everything the Kingdom produces is spent on the military.

Looking at the master's back, I suddenly felt that the master's figure had become lonely.

The other day the master said to me that she wanted to take the Imperial Capital of the humans and then crush them completely under her feet.

After hearing her speech, I felt what the master has prepared in her reign for these decades may be lost all of a sudden. It was almost a finished fight. The master put all the stakes on this war of aggression. If this time the master lost in this fight, her efforts will be vanished totally.

The master has been looking at that map on the table, leaving me standing on the side. So why did she call me to her room?

I cautiously went over and looked at it. Different locations were marked with different symbols, but I still had no idea what the use was or what it represented.

The master suddenly turned her head to look at me. I was shocked to find myself too close to the master, so I hurriedly stood up straight and took a few steps back.

The master rolled up the map on the table, walked to the wall shelf, and put the map into a tube.

"Let's go."

And then the words were spoken.

"Where to go?"

"To Solz's."

The master turned, locked eyes with me and walked toward me.

"Take you there and get used to the war scene first."

Sure enough, I'm going to the battlefield. All of a sudden, my heart was beating wildly. Am I finally going to go on a killing spree on the battlefield? I still don't know if I can adapt.

"This time you don't need to fight, just follow and watch."

"Yes, master."

I kept my head down, thankfully I didn't have to fight. But I didn’t know if the master was thoughtful or reluctant.

Following my master out of the room, I saw Cross hovering down from the sky.

Looking at the punctual arrival of Cross, I couldn't help but think why this big bird was so obedient to the master, how the master and Cross communicated, and how Cross was on call.

Did Cross sign a slave contract that was stronger than the one put on me?

"No."

The master simply responded to me and jumped on Cross's back, and I jumped on after her.

Since I returned on time that day, my master didn’t lock me my ability.

Is this something to be thankful because my master's level of trust in me has increased by another point?

Then I shook my head and smiled bitterly to myself. I knew that my identity was a slave. Even if my master trusts me more, I still can not escape the shackles of the name slave.

If I can lose that last shred of pride, maybe I would feel better that I became a slave to my master, because at the moment everyone has treated me with respect, except for the master and the five generals.

However, I will not be that lowly. I think that no one can deprive me of my human rights.
