If other people said this to Rael, she would definitely think so.
Destroying heroes and demon kings is simply... unreasonable.
But her intuition told her that this demon man was serious.
"I...can I ask you a question?"
Leer's face turned a little pale, and her breathing became a little rapid and heavy.
"certainly."
However, the Demon King sitting opposite her still had a smiling expression, but his eyes were serious.
"Why do you think that the war can be stopped by destroying the heroes and the demon king?"
Hearing this, the Demon King was silent for two seconds. Although he was smiling, a terrible haze appeared on his face.
"Because I was a devil."
His voice echoed in Rael's mind. Her eyes widened and it took her a while to understand what he meant.
"How can this be..."
Just when she was about to say it was impossible, she suddenly thought of his unreasonable strength. There was no doubt that classifying him as the Demon King was not an exaggeration at all.
But why on earth does he want to destroy the Demon King and the Hero?
She only thought of one possibility, that is, he might want to rule everything!
Being ruled by a demon clan? Rael couldn't imagine that scene. He deliberately let himself see any demon clan coexisting, probably to shake her mind, but in fact he might be the same as other demon clan, even if he didn't
Let humans perish, but it won't be easy for them.
Leer's forehead wrinkled slightly, and the Demon King roughly guessed what she was thinking.
"Spring is coming soon, do you think you can survive until next winter?"
The Demon King continued, but the other party remained silent. She knew what it meant. He actually knew the current plight of mankind.
"One day, you have been running away from a problem. That brave man is not young anymore. How long do you think he can last?"
He suddenly talked about an issue that no one in the Adventurer's Guild was willing to mention. A few beads of sweat appeared on Rael's forehead. She gritted her teeth and an impatient expression appeared on her face.
"We are more than one brave, everyone can become a brave."
Hearing this, the Demon King smiled.
"Really, but that's not what you said on your face. Admit it, the reason why you are able to hold on is all because of an old man who is about to die. Other brave men have their own shortcomings and cannot take his place. If a certain
God, if he falls, not only your Adventurer's Guild, but even humanity itself will be divided. I don't need to tell you the result."
Leer clenched her fist fiercely.
He saw everything clearly and expressed her pain.
The survival of mankind has always been at stake. This winter battle was not successful. Although the Demon King of Hades was eliminated, the losses were too heavy. Moreover, it was only Anmihu who brought the situation back this time, otherwise it would have been a disastrous defeat.
This kind of situation with the Adventurer's Guild as the core and the alliance of various empires can only occur when Anmihu is around. As the top decision-maker, Rael understands this very well. No one can replace the president now.
Position, if he falls, the union itself will split into two factions, and the struggle between the defensive faction and the offensive faction will continue.
Whenever she thinks about these problems, Rael will feel a heavy feeling in her chest and can't breathe. She wants to jump out of this quagmire, but it's not easy.
"How about you, do you want to join forces with me? If you are afraid that I will lie, I will be happy to sign a reciprocal contract with you."
The Demon King said, and suddenly a blank parchment appeared on the table.
Leer swallowed and her heartbeat began to accelerate.
Equality treaty?!
She didn't expect that the other party would actually make such a request. It was like a powerful country with an army of millions suddenly coming to a small country with a population of less than 100,000 just to sign a peace treaty.
She felt nervous. If he was serious, then this was very true.
And if someone who is not weaker than the president helps her, then things will be completely different...
what do I do.
She looked at the parchment on the table and pondered.
At this time, in the headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild, in a room that looked like a gym, an old man sat cross-legged on the ground. His face looked horribly weathered, and his skin was sallow, like dry firewood.
"Ahem!"
He coughed suddenly, followed by a gasping breath, and then opened his lifeless eyes.
"There isn't much time left."
He looked at the dim candle in front of him, his eyes full of uneasiness.
…
The morning was broken by the sound of hooves, and four horses in armor pulled a luxurious carriage to the ancient city of Stone.
"Get out of the way! Get out of my way!"
The driver was a man with an unkind expression. He had his arms bare and his eyebrows made an inverted figure on his forehead, as if he was in a hurry to do something.
"stop!!"
The guards stopped him, but the coachman glared at the guards.
"How dare you, you abscesses with eyes, stop me! Do you know who is sitting in the carriage?"
The coachman shouted loudly.
The businessman on the side didn't dare to provoke them, so he just silently let him jump in line.
"No matter who you are, they need to undergo routine inspection when entering the city!"
the guard said.
Hearing this, the coachman gritted his teeth and showed a ferocious expression like a tiger or a leopard. His arms were very thick, thicker than an ordinary person's thigh.
He came to the guard and looked down at him, as if he wanted to tear him into pieces.
"Niu Lei! Didn't I tell you to pay attention to your image?"
At this moment, a voice came from the carriage, and the door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in fancy clothes walked out. His clothes were a bit... coquettish, and his green fur clothes exposed some of his chest.
He is obviously a muscular man, but he is wearing pants that look like a skirt.
Moreover, there are many colorful feathers on the clothes, and there are golden teeth in the mouth, which looks very awkward.
But he himself doesn't seem to think so.
"Yes, sir."
The man named Niu Lei lowered his head, bowed and tiptoed a few steps back like an actor taking a curtain call on stage.
That strange middle-aged man walked right in front of him. He held his head high and deliberately pretended to be a big shot.
But obviously, he doesn't fit that look, so in the eyes of others, he just slaps his nose at others.
He raised his right hand, put it on his chest, curled his hand and pointed at the opponent, as if doing a mantis punch.
"Do you—do you know who I am?"
He deliberately drawled when he spoke.
The guard frowned. As a gate guard in Stone Ancient City, he had seen a lot of strange people, but this was the first time he had seen such a suspicious person.
"No matter who you are, you must follow the rules whenever you enter the city."
He replied.
"Quack!"
Hearing this, the other person put his hands on his hips, raised his head and laughed.
"So you are just a little watchdog." He said something infuriating, then pointed at himself with his thumb and said: "I am the nephew of Earl Arcas, Lord Snu-ki!
