"Cough cough cough...Ilotia...do you think you can really defeat us completely? Cough cough...look...what has your Demon Kingdom become now..."

The City Lord of Kypas City whose limbs were severed by me fell to the ground in a wretched state, blood spreading over the gray and white brick paved path.

But this city lord was a woman.

She has a stunning face with a cold smile.

Yet this smile was tinged with mockery.

Even if she is about to die, is she still calmly sneering at me? Not bad for a city lord, with backbone.

And she has strength too. She not only has the martial arts but also has the beautiful appearance.

But she was beaten down by me easily.

But since it is a woman, she has an advantage. That is, her neck is very slender.

Leaned down and grabbed her neck with just one hand. Although it could not be completely wrapped around her neck, the fingers were stabbed hard in her neck.

Watching her painful struggling expression, warm blood flowed down my arm.

Grasped her neck and then it shattered...

I raised her head high and turned around to declare our demons’ victory in the battle of Kypas city.

Countless Demon soldiers who had gathered to watch me kill the Kypas City lord in seconds were shouting my name loud to their heart's content, and I became passionate.

This is already the fourth human city that we have captured.

It took only half a month that the humans were defeated by my overwhelming strength.

I also no longer fight alone like what I did in the battle of Hivis City. With the arrival of the army, I will collaborate with the demon soldiers and help them take the city.

The risk was low, and it took less time, but the casualties became higher.

When I saw my master riding Cross in the sky to show me smile, I dropped the head that had rolled its eyes in my hands and unfolded my light wings to fly away from the crowd.

The iron on the battle robe was a little bulky for me, but it didn't affect my flight. I just felt it a little ugly.

----------

I took a bath and washed the blood stains and blood smell off my body.

Then I changed back to a clean blue dress. It’s comfortable for me to wear women's clothing now.

After capturing a city, there was nothing left for me to do.

The soldiers will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and occuping and plundering.

I walked toward the city owner's hall, looking forward to the master's praise.

After the war, the master also left everything to Heath Relia to do because she had done so in the previous cities.

When I came to the hall, the master was sitting in the big brown chair of the city lord. Outside the hall were people coming and going, demon soldiers carrying things and counting the resources of the House.

Standing in front of the master, I smiled at her slightly.

"Master."

After nodding, the master got down from the big chair.

"Well done."

I didn't suffer any injury from taking the city of Kypas, not even a small wound. After all, I learned to observe before entering the battlefield, and the price for making such a conservative act was that the number of casualties was high.

"The number of casualties in our demon army has become high."

"It doesn't matter. As long as we can guarantee you are 100% safe, it is our greatest victory. Our casualties have been reduced a lot compared to when you were not on the battlefield. I can say without exaggeration that the number of deaths in each battle is now one-tenth of what it was before you appeared."

Although the master looked very serious, her tone of voice was relaxed.

"Go out and take a look."

"Yes."

I obediently followed my master and walked through the city lord's residence in Kypas City.

I was watching the soldiers carry and busy. It happened to be a sunny day, the sky was clear and the air was warm.

The master walked in the direction of the gate.

"Master, are we going out?"

"Well, we go to see Cross."

"Oh."

Then there was silence.

All the way out of the lord's mansion, the master's shoes were still giving out the sound as she descended the steps.

"Where's Cross?"

"I'll call it in a minute."

It was about half an hour before the master's advance came to a halt.

It was a large livestock farm with walls of stone and brick that stretched as far as the eye could see. The demon soldiers were guarding the gate. There were ten demon soldiers standing side by side in front of the wide gate. There was not just a livestock farm, but there were five. And every two demon soldiers were guarding a gate.

"Lord Ilotia, Lord the Demon King."

The Demon soldier who was closer to us bowed and saluted us.

"Hmm."

The master just nodded gently. I didn't need to answer when I had the master by my side.

Then we walked into the livestock farm.

There were surprisingly human beings inside, like feeding grain or something to domestic poultry, and herding these animals to various places.

I think probably no demon soldiers are willing to have this kind of work.

Since there are humans here, why not make good use of resources to enslave them? So I saw the soldiers just walking around. They seemed to be like patrols. They should just play the role of supervision, which was much easier than feeding pigs and horses and cattle.

We walked to a brick building. I think probably it is equivalent to the staff dormitory on Earth.

The guard at the door was still a demon soldier.

When I entered, I saw a male Demon in officer's clothing sitting at a long table in the hall. In front of him stood three humans with their heads bowed.

"Lord Ilotia, Lord Demon King."

The male demon immediately got off his stool upon seeing us. He faced us and bent down with his head down.

The three humans were scared straight to the ground on their knees, their foreheads knocking to the ground, shivering all over.

The master didn't even look at them and looked straight at the demon.

"Are you ready?"

"It is ready, just waiting for your arrival, Lord Demon King."

Ready for what?

I turned my head blankly to look at the master, but she didn't notice my confusion and just nodded to the demon.

The demon looked at the three humans kneeling on the ground and frowned slightly.

"You guys, get up and get ready."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Then we'll go down and get ready first."

These three humans crawled out of the hall awkwardly.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that there are both the unyielding human like the city lord of Kypas City and the current humans who throw away their dignity to stay alive.

But the humans on Earth are like this too. In the changing world, there will always be people on both sides of the different extremes. But I am not qualified to criticize them, after all, I am almost equivalent to them.

Thinking here, I suddenly began to look forward to the next siege. I hope there will be a proud and unyielding female city lord in the next siege.

"Lord Demon King, please come with me."
