Volume 4, Chapter 1 - Demon Lord Beatrice

This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu

Demon Country Lachmaheim.

Literally, the country where the demons live.

Located in the middle of a vast wilderness that occupies most of the land, it was a big city that seems to be out of place on the first glance.

From there, at the center, stood a huge castle. But what’s so different about this castle is the purely terrifying aura it was emitting.

This was the capital of the Country of Demons.

And in the said castle, the Demon Lord’s Castle, lies the boudoir of the Demon Lord, at it’s very top.

“Hmmm, today’s report….”

From a woman was reading a document while sitting in her luxurious chair.

She had light brown skin and long silver hair,

and a glamorous body wrapped in a stimulating costume.

She was Beatrice, the lord of this demon castle, also known as the Queen of Lachmaheim.

“Are there any other news today?”

Today, a strange thing is happening in this country. If seen from above, a part of the city was already destroyed, and from there, demons were rampaging about, if one takes a closer look at the vicinity. However, it was a pretty regular occurrence in Lachmaheim.

The demons have an arrogant personality, this is no news as it was the root cause of the first war.

Even towards the same kind, they still lack a sense of cooperation.

Frequent riots happen, destroying even their own city.

Because of this, the other races looked down upon them and treated them as an inferior race.

That discrimination, added to their arrogance, gave birth to the previous war. It was idiotic, but then again, so is every cause of conflict in every other world.

“Are the conscription of our troops going well?”

Beatrice moved her eyes to the new documents at hand. She then smiled ferociously.

Beatrice, who is the current demon queen, of course, didn’t escape this mistreatment.

Beatrice was also a survivor of the defeat in the previous war.

And because of this, her hatred of the humans, fairies, and elves was stronger than other demons.

“Finally, the time has come”

The documents, which contain the drafting of a new army of demons, all of it were written there.

Beatrice is willing to start another war again.

But this time, she’s thinking at a much, much bigger scale.

She’s planning to conquer the whole world in her hands.

“The gathered demons constituted about 8,000 strong. Quite a feat, I say.”

Normally, because of their physique and ability that dominates all the other races, demons are very egoistic and do not usually take group actions like these.

To be able to gather 8,000 of them in one group is an extraordinary feat already.

“In a sense, I have to express my gratitude towards that trash.”

It is the hatred towards the other species that moved the demons into one.

And like Beatrice, some of the long-lived demons are also survivors of the previous war.

And precisely because they survived, many of them become her subordinates.

Of course, that reason is not enough to have them under her tutelage, as the only way for a demon to obey is by the use of force.

Meaning they will only obey those more athletic than them.

Such powerful demons responded to Beatrice’s call this time.

This much already signified how strong Beatrice is. Besides, how would she end up in her throne if she was weak?

Now, the demons were hungry. They want a payback.

The revenge of the Demons is about to begin.

“Our first aim is the Country of Humans. Those guys who are complacent about peace, let’s kill them and raze their so-called homes.”

Humans have a brief life span compared to demons and other races.

At most, a human can only live for over a hundred years.

Naturally, not one of them has experienced the previous war.

And as they change generations, the thought of threat of the demons was already diminishing.

“If we made a surprise attack there, they will become our slaves in no time … kukukuu”

As the reigning ruler of the demons, she turned around.

Towards the strategy that ordinary demons wouldn’t think of.

“First, let’s have Bivnaheim.”

Bivnaheim is a country of humans located just across the Lachmaheim country.

“They won’t expect their country to be the first to get attacked.”

War and pillage is a normal thing for a country invasion.

If they did not do so, they would not be able to replenish the army’s resources.

If you don’t have enough supplies, they will starve, and as a result, they will face defeat, no matter how strong their troops are.

That’s the constant war. However, demons are quite different.

With their physical abilities, it’s possible to reach Bivnaheim before they get hungry.

The forces more mobile than demons on the ground were only the Spirits, which can fly in the sky.

Even that, the Spirit King will still take the time amassing the fairies to send reinforcements once he knew that Bivnaheim has been attacked.

By that time, the demons will have cleaned up the country as planned.

“And, if we get hungry, we will just take away everything we can take, and those we can’t we will destroy.”

Beatrice has no intention of conquering other races.

Except for the demons, she’s planning to destroy all of the races in this world.

So she made thorough plans in complete plundering Bivnaheim of all its graces, by a storm.

And the next, she will invade the neighboring countries.

Those in-between Lachmaheim and Bivnaheim

She will advance her troops to another human country, Nordheim.

“Over there, unlike the others, their army is strong. We have to be cautious.”

Norcheim first received the demonic invasion of the previous war.

As a result, the country was utterly destroyed.

With this, their grudge with the demons is exceptionally strong.

Unlike Bivnaheim, they are always in full alert.

Challenging them from the front will clearly result in heavy casualties, even though they are demons.

Plus, the difficulty will be even higher if these humans cooped themselves in their sturdy castles.

The reason for this is because demons have no siege weapons.

“But we still excel in overwhelming physical ability, mobility and, and hand-to-hand combat, so we have to make good use of this”

Once Bivnaheim is destroyed, we’ll decide to encircle Norcheim.

If we crush their neighboring country first, the morale of the human soldiers will plummet.

“Even if their castle is tough, it will be pregnable if those the soldiers’ morale became weak.”

That was Beatrice’s strategy.

“Once we destroy the Human Countries, the fairies and the elves will be next.”

Both are countries with a smaller population than humans.

Even if it is the same number, the demons, with their higher battle potentials still has the upper hand.

The key to this war was how quickly we could crush the humans’ main forces.

“Now, then, let’s work out the details right away.”

She then took out a map.

They then decided the route to send troops where Norcheim would not know.

At that time, there was a knock on the door.

“Demon Queen-sama, can I come in?”

“Yes, you may enter.”

Beatrice stopped what she was doing, then greeted with a corresponding demeanor befitting a demon queen.

What came in was a man who has an intelligent look for a demon.

The guy is a staff officer under her.

“And what is your purpose? Speak briefly”

“Actually, we have acquired information about suspicious movements about some elves.”

“Some elves, you say?”

Beatrice frowned at the unexpected information.

In her plans, elves should begin to move after Bivnaheim is destroyed.

“Yes. Apparently, the prince of their country has been visiting one country after another, and it seems that they are trying to form an alliance like the previous war.”

“What did you say!? Kuh, those annoying elves……”

Beatrice’s gaze became filled with power, and the space around her shook.

Powerful magic is acting in the area with just her rise of emotions.

The staff officer still continued his report, despite sweating heavily on that pressure.

“It seems that they are exchanging branches of the King Trees in each country as a testimony of their alliance.”

“The King Trees? Just what are they thinking……”

Beatrice spat out in indignation.

Like other countries, Lachmaheim also has its own King Tree.

However, it has been in an incredibly awful state, as it hasn’t been maintained for many years.

For demons, the King Tree is no different from an ordinary tree.

“However, it’s not good if they became united once again.”

“Yes, and there is a possibility of it interfering with Your Majesty’s plan.”

“Then, first of all, collect further details about this”

“As you command, Your Majesty!”

The demon staff then politely bowed and exit the room.

After that, she went to her desk once again.

“Haa!”

She raised her fist, then punched it with excessive force.

The blow from her delicate arm smashed the thick but luxurious desk in one blow.

After her anger finally subsided, she settled to her seat once again.

“You bastard, you dare to stand up before me once again……?”

Beatrice grimaced, grasping her hand forcefully.

And thus, the demon queen began its movements to stop the alliance.
