Chapter 1798 This Brave Man Locks on the Threat (You Need to Open the Window to Breathe When You Feel Sleepy)

With the Demon King defeated, the Demon King's army fell into complete chaos, and the first thing to be affected was... the fight for the Demon King's throne.

The reason why the Demon King's army was able to unify was because the Demon King used his tyrannical power to rule the entire Orc tribe. But now the Demon King is dead, and along with the Demon King's Castle, nothing is left. So naturally, other people began to fight for the Demon King's throne.

However, no one is clear about how to choose the new Demon King.

"I think we should find the murderer who killed the demon king and kill him!"

A tiger-headed orc roared and clenched his fists.

"Only those who avenge the Demon King are qualified to become the new Demon King!"

"Are you kidding me?"

The other eagle-headed orc shrugged it off.

"They even killed the Demon King. Let's not talk about whether we can find them. Even if we find them, who can kill them? Besides, how can you prove that the one you killed was the murderer of the Demon King, and not a slave picked up from somewhere on the roadside?"

"What? Do you think I would deliberately fake it?"

“Who knows…”

“You bastard…!”

The Demon King's army was arguing fiercely, and everyone had different ideas. Some thought that whoever killed the murderer of the Demon King would be qualified to become the Demon King. Others thought that this was not going to work, so they should just use strength to decide the winner. Whoever was stronger would be the Demon King, because the previous Demon Kings had also subdued them through their fighting power.

Some people even thought that the devil was finished, and they would not get any good results if they continued to do this. The other side could even kill the devil, so what if they came to their doorstep one day? They might as well just hide!

Eventually, the top brass of the Demon King's army were completely divided into several small groups.

This was naturally within Duanmu Huai's expectations.

That's why he didn't do what he did before, to first eliminate the Four Heavenly Kings and then kill the Demon King. Or he simply killed the Four Heavenly Kings and the Demon King together. The reason is that humans in this world are too disadvantaged. Even if the Demon King is eliminated, it doesn't mean that the Demon King's army will collapse.

But as long as the Four Heavenly Kings are left, they will definitely fight each other to the death for the position of Demon King. At that time, Duanmu Huai will not need to do anything, they will kill each other to death, at least saving Duanmu Huai's energy.

But this does not mean that Duanmu Huai has nothing to do. After returning to the temporary camp, Duanmu Huai also waited for Kurokawa Akane who was in charge of reconnaissance, Mary who was guerrilla warfare in the rear, and the combat troops returning from the execution ground. However, the news they brought was not good news.

First up was Mary. Her original mission was to pull the Beast King away, and then take the opportunity to rescue more human slaves. However...

"In the process of rescuing human slaves, we encountered a lot of resistance."

“……………………Resistance?”

Duanmu Huai did not react when he heard this word. Instead, Listarte looked confused, as if she was wondering if she had heard it wrong.

"We are trying to save those humans from suffering, so why are they resisting?"

"They believe that the orcs have already taken over the world, and that human resistance is meaningless. What we do will not only bring disaster to ourselves, but also to them. They even try to attack us in return, in order to establish their position in the hearts of their orc masters."

"…………………"

Listarte's jaw dropped open wide, and she felt as if she was listening to a fairy tale. Duanmu Huai, on the contrary, was quite calm.

"So how did you handle it?"

"I have purified all the resisters. I hope their souls can find peace."

"Impossible. Just burn slowly in the furnace of the Inquisition."

Duanmu Huai showed a ferocious smile.

"Since they are unwilling to voluntarily contribute to humanity, then we should force them to do so... Chiyin, what about you?"

"My news is similar to Miss Mary's."

Kurokawa Akane frowned.

"During the investigation, I got some very...special information. I heard that there is an army of humans in a beastman's territory in the south."

"The human army? The beast lord's army?"

Listarte felt that her brain had been completely burned out. Of course, Duanmu Huai never had any expectations for her brain.

"you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I heard that the beastman lord doesn't seem to discriminate against humans, but calls for peaceful coexistence with humans. In its territory, humans also live a peaceful life and are not abused. They look the same as ordinary humans. Except for being unable to leave the territory, they don't seem to have any other problems."

"There is actually such a beastman lord!"

Listarte's eyes lit up and she clenched her fists. "That's great, hero. We should go there right away. Maybe we can convince him to fight with us to save humanity..."

"Well, you're right, we must go there as soon as possible."

Duanmu Huai nodded in response to what Listarte said.

"The heretics must be eliminated. They are a far greater danger than the devil."

"……………Why?"

Listarte stared at Duanmu Huai blankly, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"What did you say? Heresy?"

"That's right. Whether it was made up by the orc lord or he really thought so, it's all heresy. What's more dangerous is that this heresy has already polluted the humans there. Now it seems that we must eliminate all those heretics and leave no one alive! Whether orcs or humans, they must die!"

"No, no, no, why is this!"

Hearing this, Listarte didn't understand Duanmu Huai's meaning at all, and waved her hands vigorously to stop him.

"It would be fine if the other party is just pretending, but what if it really wants to be kind to humans? We can obviously live in peace, but do we have to destroy it completely? I think this is a good idea."

"If you think it's good, then it's not good at all."

Duanmu Huai looked at Listarte as if she were an idiot and turned away.

"… Chiyin, you know where that territory is, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Duanmu."

"Very good, call everyone and get ready, we will set off immediately!"

After the Demon King was destroyed, the barrier covering the Demon King's territory disappeared, and Listadai's use as a "portal" was once again demonstrated. However, this time, facing Duanmu Huai's order, she shook her head firmly.

"I will never help open the portal to that territory!"

"………………………"

"It's so hard to find orcs willing to live in peace with humans. What's wrong with this? I will never allow you to destroy their lives......!"

Standing in front of Duanmu Huai, Lisida shook her head vigorously. After all, she was a goddess, and she had her own dignity and persistence. What was wrong with humans and orcs working together and moving forward hand in hand? Such a beautiful thing, why did Duanmu Huai regard it as a snake and scorpion? He had to kill it as soon as possible?

"I'm not interested in answering questions to idiots. Since you're not going to take us there, we can just walk there."

Duanmu Huai didn't even look at the grumpy Listarte. He picked up the map and confirmed the location of the territory with Kurokawa Akane.

"Well, we will pass through another territory on the way. It just so happens that we can clean up that place first."

"Will the Demon King's army not target us?"

"Those aliens are having a hard time taking care of themselves right now. Who wouldn't want to be the devil? Let them fight each other."

Duanmu Huai determined the route and then waved his hand.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Wait, you can't..."

Listarte rushed forward and tried to stop them, but Duanmu Huai didn't even look at her and knocked her out. When Listarte rolled on the ground covered in dust and dirt and crawled up, the combat troops led by Duanmu Huai had already walked into the depths of the forest, and Listarte collapsed on the ground in a daze, watching their backs as they went away.

No, why? Why is this?

Listarte racked her brains and thought hard, but she couldn't understand why Duanmu Huai would regard this as a threat more dangerous than the devil, and even couldn't wait to set out immediately to eliminate it. Although along the way, Listarte also guessed that Duanmu Huai must have his own reasons, but...but...can't he be trusted more?

The question now is, what should I do?

For a moment, Listarte wanted to impulsively open the portal and run to the orc territory to warn them, but she calmed down the next moment. Listarte knew the consequences of her actions. Duanmu Huai would definitely kill her without any hesitation, because this would mean that she was also a heretic... The Inquisition would not show mercy to heretics.

Duanmu Huai would kill her without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Listarte trembled for a moment, then she stood up, gritted her teeth, and ran after the team.

No matter what, she had to find out why all this happened.

There was no way to get an answer from Duanmu Huai, but maybe I could have some communication with Miss Mary. At least after the previous contact, Lisi Dadai felt that Miss Mary was still very polite and gentle. At least she was not like Duanmu Huai, and it was impossible to tell what was in her mind.

Listarte quickened her pace and ran forward.

She also made a decision. If she could not accept Duanmu Huai's reasons this time, she planned to return to the God Realm and then... let other gods take charge of him.

Listarte felt that she didn't have the ability to do so.
