We are finally about to wage the war. My master and I stood on the high walls of Zdis City and watched the vast army of demons marching towards the Earl River. Solz was also leading the army in Lahs City in a different direction toward the Earl River.

The brave has long given up insignificant attacks in the north and returned to the imperial capital of the human kingdom.

The cities in the north are no longer important. After the master rearranged the plan, the troops are mainly concentrated on the connecting line between Zdis City and the imperial capital of the human kingdom. So I guess the brave is also concentrating his troops on preparing for defense now.

We do not follow the army advance, because the master and I can sit in Cross, a large bird. So we can catch up with the army advance quickly.

I don’t know whether it is because I behave obediently in front of the master. Recently the master has chatted with me for many times, and occasionally praised me.

What’s more, the master even touched my head once, which was very important. At that time, the master told me the general situation of the war. The master and I were sitting face to face. She pointed to the map while telling me the plan. I looked at the map so close, probably because my head blocked part of the map. Then the master just pushed my head away. Up to now, the comfortable feeling that the master touched my head has still remained in my mind.

Also because the master's attitude towards me gradually became better, I was not so afraid of her.

Now I am more like a pet of the master than a slave to be trampled.

----------

Two days later, the demon army was about to reach the Earl River.

In Zdis City, we were also ready to depart.

Cross, a large bird, flew early to the open square in front of the palace. Although I could follow my master with my light wings and fly there, I was used to sitting behind my master. Besides, I was the closest to my master when sitting on Cross's back, which was a good opportunity to get close to her.

I don't know what my psychology is now. I always want to try my best to get close to the master, to please the master. I don't know if this is good or bad. I don’t know whether I already have any special feelings for the master. I just know that I am happy with it, and the master is not angry with me for it.

It's been a long time since I saw this big bird. Looking at Cross's dumbfounded expression, I could not help but curse in my heart. I spoke with heavy irony: Cross, you really look so ‘good’.

"But indeed Cross looks so good."

The master answered me and jumped on the Cross. I also followed closely, and the master still blocked the wind for me.

It is true that the smell of the master can make me feel at ease, and I only remember the master's fragrance. I will know that the master is with me as soon as I smell this fragrance.

Flying above the Lens Mountains, my master and I sat on the back of Cross in the endless clear sky. Looking down towards the ground, and looking into the distance, I could vaguely see the wide Earl River.

Not far away is the soldiers of our demon race. There must be human soldiers on the other side of the Earl River in the distance, heavily guarded.

It took a morning to catch up with the main army of the demons.

The master ordered Cross to carry me directly to the Earl River. We did not go down and act with the demon army. Because the master wanted to wait for them in front of the Earl River, and intended to use Clairaudience and Clairvoyance near the Earl River to scout the situation on the other side.

So we are now in the sky over the side bank of the demon kingdom of the Earl River. Our side of the river bank is also set up for the barrier. The soldiers stationed there need to wait for the arrival of a large force before attack across the river.

Cross slowed down its flight speed and lowered the altitude.

"Ilotia, observe the opposite bank of the river."

"Okay."

With no clouds in the way and a clear sky, I gathered my mental energy to focus on looking extremely far away.

Human ships were densely packed on the opposite river area. There were large ships of nearly two hundred square meters in size, with high white sails blowing their mighty winds. There were also small ships that could only accommodate ten people. Each large ship was fully equipped, and many were even affixed with gray and black steel shield skins, with cannons in all directions of the ship. And there were many turrets on top of the river bank.

There were lime green flags on each ship and each battery. I do not know what the meaning aboout strange graphics of the flags.

Of course, our demon ships are well equipped. Over the years the master has been developing military power vigorously. Of course, these warships can not be inferior to that of humans. Although many are less than human ships, this is just because the number of our demon army is less than that of the humans.

I look away from the humans in the distance.

Water battle?

For now it is no problem for me to do that because I can use the light wings.

When the time comes, the weak humans will just feel free to meet my bombardment.

--------

It was scheduled to start crossing the river the next day. The army arrived at the river in the evening.

The master was still very busy and left me behind to do her business since the army arrived.

I sat on the banks of the Earl River. Watching the night sky full of starlight reflecting on the river, the water was shining with the sparkling moonlight, extremely soft and blue.

"Ilotia."

I turned around at the sound of the voice and found it was Nora walking towards me with a bright smile.

"Nora..."

I gently responded to her. Was she lazy again? I saw that it was busy in the whole army, except for me, the big idler.

"What's the feeling? The fight is coming tomorrow."

Nora sat next to me as usual, and she had a tendency to lean over, but I unconsciously avoided.

"Oh my God, you don’t give me any chance to lean over."

Nora did not nag at me for such a small act, but just gently patted me on the shoulder, with a smile still on her face.

I also returned a faint smile.

"That's nice of you. I also want to be unrestrained like you in the battlefield. You don’t need to care about how to fight and when to fight. Now you don’t worry about everything. You just need to fight tomorrow."

"Unrestrained?"

I am not unrestrained. I am restrained by my master at all times.

"Ah, I forgot. You are also bound by that boring demon king."

Nora leaned back and braced her hands on the ground, looking up at the starry sky with a slightly wistful look in her eyes.

"We are also bound by the demon king. Without her orders, how would we be so desperate to fight? Oh yes, are you so close to her? Help me to praise me in front of her."

Nora turned around and looked at me with a smile.

"That guy is just familiar with Heath Relia. She usually ignore us except for orders. If anyone makes a mistake, they will be punished heavily by her. So no one dares to make mistakes. She is really too strict and rigid. Vinales just criticizes me when I make mistakes, and she occasionally teaches me, but she never beats me. But the boring demon king is different. Maybe you think I am great, but I was punished by that boring demon king many times."

As soon as I heard the word ‘punish’, I immediately opened my eyes wide, is it the same torture as I have suffered?

"How did you get punished?"

"Just beat me up." Nora looked depressed, "I couldn't beat her every time, and I was beaten until I was half dead."

So that's all.

"Hey, why do you look so uninterested every time I talk to you?"

"I don't know what to talk about."

I'm not interested in what Nora said at all. For me, it's good to simply talk with her.

"Tell me something interesting about your original world, too."

I stood up and gazed across the river at the endless human ships in the distance.

"Don't want to remember. I have nothing to tell."

Nora didn't seem to know what I was going through these days and just kept pestering me with chatter.

So after a short rest it came the next day. The sky had not yet risen, and the army of the demons began to pour into the ship, raising the demon army flag under the dark sky.

I followed the master on board one of the most luxurious ships. The ship is wrapped with gray and white steel, and is also the largest. The big turret that is erected on the ship's edge is also polished, looking so bright. Inside the room is also extremely luxurious. After all, the master is the demon king. Of course, she is deserved to have a extravagant ship.

But Nora and Vinales were not on this ship. They were in command of other ships, and the only general on this ship was Heath Relia.

So the master and Heath Relia were chatting in the room again. I didn't want to get into any of the fun, after all, I didn't know anything.

The ship cut through the fog on the river. The sound of huge waves was accompanied by the rumble of the engines. The ship was traveling on the Earl River with more than 2,000 meters wide.

The fog blocked my vision. So I can not know whether the humans are ready to meet our attack temporarily.

If not for my lack of experience in actual combat, I think I could have flown over alone first to scout them out, or even to hit the humans hard first and wait for the arrival of the demon army.

Suddenly I felt that I was useless except for being able to fight.

No, I can't think like that.

Since I am good at fighting, I can try to make good use of my strengths.

It doesn't matter if I don't know the art of war. And it doesn't matter if I don't know how to command an army. It doesn't matter if I don't know how to help my master manage the affairs of the country. I just need to use my strengths.

I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw Heath Relia talk to my master so passionately every time. But every time the master just talk little with me, as if my precious things were taken away from me.

As the sun slowly sails towards dawn, the rising sun dissolves all the gloom and fog.

I looked up at the opposite bank of the Earl River. At least I need to prove to my master that I am no longer the weak hypocrite.

First I need to lead the battle to victory, to gain the recognition and trust of the master, which is my goal now.
