Reborn Demon Girl Will Not Meet the Uncle Hero

Chapter 59: Mirror of Abinu - Tragedy in the Lizardman Kingdom

"Your Majesty! The Holy Legion will arrive in three days at most!"

The hot desert, the desolate environment, the kingdom of the lizardmen.

The massive lizardman sitting on the throne stared at the scout before him. A glint of light flickered in his cold, vertical pupils. He waved the scout away and then looked at the other lizardmen present: "Are you ready with what I asked you to prepare?"

An elderly lizardman stepped forward. "Everything is ready, my king. The Mirror of Abinu is fully charged. Once the Holy Legion arrives, we'll project all the images to the entire world, allowing them to witness their evil deeds."

"Well, very good. Since Saint Xia Di wants to do this, let her pay the price."

However, the old lizardman knelt before the so-called "king" at this moment: "You, you really won't leave!? Now is the best time for you to leave! The Demon King has resurrected, regained his left hand, and turned the brave men into his subordinates. He will definitely return to his throne! We die! People like us are nothing but a burden to the Demon King, but you..."

"In the past, in order to survive and to one day be able to support the Demon King again, we slaughtered the entire Lizardman race. Then we transformed ourselves into Lizardmen and survived as Lizardmen. Fortunately, the Lizardmen live in a remote area and have little contact with humans. No one noticed our abnormality, and we have survived until now."

The so-called "King" looked at his men and said, "Using our lives to atone for the lost lives of the Lizardmen... I won't say such foolish words. The strong need no reason to kill the weak. The value of our existence is for the Demon King. The King of Lizardmen must die here - he who refuses to fight back must die here. We must shatter the self-righteousness of the Saint and the Wise King with our blood! We will build the steps for the Demon King to ascend to the throne again! We are not the Demon King's army! We are Lizardmen! We are Lizardmen surviving on the border! Everything we do! Is for the continuation of the Lizardmen race! Give me all! Remember it!"

……

The Holy Legion arrived at the Lizardmen's border and came into contact with the Lizardmen's seemingly not very sophisticated legion.

"We suspect your Lizardman Kingdom is harboring demonic spies. Our army is entering the territory immediately. Please get out of the way!"

The Lizardman commander's expression was extremely grim. He subconsciously tightened his grip on his spear, but met the icy gazes of the Sacred Legion's generals. He forced a smile, as if he had summoned all his wisdom. "My Lords, please wait a moment. You have come from afar, and you must be dusty. I will arrange for a good reception for you."

Everyone could see that the lizard man was trying to delay time so that he could inform his superiors, but no one cared.

After all, how could the Lizardman Kingdom have the power to resist them?
Besides—what about notification?

Could it be that the Lizardman King dares to resist?
Xia Di frowned suddenly.

Bai Luther stared at Xia Di: "Lady Saint, what's wrong with you?"

"I always felt a little uneasy - like something was going to happen."

Just now, Xia Di felt something was wrong.

Bai Luther hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Speaking of this, is it possible that the Demon King has gone to retrieve her other body parts, not just the right hand you're keeping, but something else, like her feet, her internal organs... After all, our army's tracks cannot be concealed—this would be a good opportunity for the Demon King."

"Your concerns are legitimate, but I've already made plans. Although I've drawn a lot of power, I'm also setting a trap for the Demon King to see if he'll fall into it."

At this point, Xia Di revealed a somewhat arrogant smile: "Bishop Luther, don't worry."

"Lady Saint, your foresight is truly admirable," Bai Luther complimented. He didn't know what the Saint had planned, but since she said so, it proved that she had an idea. "Do you sense the presence of the Demon King's army within this kingdom?"

Xia Di shook her head. "No. But that's not important. It's very easy for the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army to conceal their presence. However, whatever they're planning, it should rely on the Lizardman Kingdom to carry it out. Either by borrowing the Lizardman army, or by taking advantage of this remote geographical environment to make some shady preparations. In either case, if we can effectively control the Lizardman Kingdom, we can find any problems."

Thinking of the slight unease she had just felt, Xia Di frowned. "Pass on my orders! Move forward! What's this about a welcome party? We're here to defeat the Demon King and save humanity! Not to eat, drink, and have fun! Move straight to the palace!"

Although he had made arrangements, he was still the Demon King after all. What if he had some tricks he was unaware of—or perhaps, the other people…

No, even those few people should be clear about the overall situation.

Standing with the current Demon King is foolish and will only lead to tragedy - they themselves should know this very well.

So you shouldn't worry too much.

The smiling face of the new Demon King flashed through Shadi's mind, recalling the simple communication he had previously had with her through the sculpture. She felt she should improve her understanding of the Demon King. However, the army had already entered the desert, and she couldn't turn back immediately.

The situation in the Lizardman Kingdom had to be resolved immediately. With an extremely forceful attitude, the Holy Legion entered this barren kingdom and arrived at the kingdom's palace in less than half a day.

The palace of the Lizardman Kingdom is so barren compared to that of humans that many soldiers of the Holy Legion were confused after seeing this human kingdom - they didn't even know if they had come to the right place. Compared to the magnificent and tall human palaces, the Lizardman Kingdom was more like a one-story bungalow.

However, the Lizardmen mainly hide underground, so having a bungalow in this vast wilderness seems quite reasonable...but everyone's expectations were dashed.

The attack on the Lizardmen Kingdom is almost inevitable, but your palace looks so barren that even if the soldiers wanted to make a fortune from it, it seems... not easy. If there is no splendor outside, how can you expect gold, silver and treasures inside? This is the Lizardmen's palace!

A lizardman, almost as tall as a human, walked out of the bungalow.

The leader looked tall and mighty, a powerful warrior at first glance. He respectfully approached Shadi and half-knelt in greeting. "Great Saint Shadi, welcome! I am Osinado, the King of the Lizardmen! I promise to cooperate with you at all costs and help you find the demon spies hiding in my kingdom!"

"Help me find the demon spies hiding in this kingdom?" Xia Di smiled, "King Osinado, are you treating me like a child?
This kingdom has demons. Everyone might be unaware of this, but you are the only one who knows! If you want to put on a show with me... I don't have the time! I'll only give you five minutes, King Osinado.

If I can't get any information about the demons within five minutes, then you are harboring the remnants of the demons, and the Holy Legion will flatten your Lizardman Kingdom in an instant!"

"Lady Saint! This is unfair!" King Osinado's face changed drastically. He knelt on the ground, touching his head to the ground. "Please show me some mercy! We in the Lizardman Kingdom really knew nothing! If, as you say, there are remnants of the demon clan hiding here, they must be at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's army! We are just small lizardmen! How could we have detected them, Lady Saint!"

It frantically made the prayer gestures of the White Church: "Lady Saint! We Lizardmen are also part of the coalition! We once fought against the demons together! Please, for the sake of our past shared struggles... don't do this!"

The Lizardmen King, King Osinado, cried out with such sincerity that one could hardly help but believe he was truly unaware. But in reality, whether he knew or not was meaningless. After all, from the very beginning, Shadi hadn't expected the Lizardmen King to surrender the demons immediately upon the arrival of his army. This race might have its own difficulties—perhaps even lacked the strength to do so. But so what?

If anyone wants to blame someone, blame the demons. It's the demons hiding in this kingdom that have plunged it into crisis. She brought her troops here to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's army. As for the lizardmen? Life or death... what does it matter? In this world, lizardmen are plentiful, like grains of sand.

Shadi showed compassion. "King Osinado, I believe in your faith in the Church and your loyalty to the many intelligent races. I am willing to believe in your innocence."

Her face seemed to be shining with a holy light, as if the mercy of God was shining on the ground, bringing salvation to the kneeling King Osinado.

"However, King Osinado, defeating the demons is more important. What if the demons take refuge in your kingdom, and the Demon King is ultimately resurrected, plunging the world into darkness once again? What will you do?"

"I……"

When King Osinado heard what Shati said, his expression became sensitive and uncertain. Finally, he seemed to have figured something out. An emotion called "sadness" flowed in his pupils, which belonged to a reptilian life form. He suddenly turned around and looked at the many lizardmen behind him.

"I see..." It looked at Saint Lady Xia Di, "Lady Xia Di, please have mercy."

Speak, it suddenly jumped up and snatched the sword from the person next to it.

The general guarding Xia Di was about to take action, but was held down by Xia Di.

The Lizardman King drew his sword and committed suicide.

Watching the lizard's rather large figure fall, Xia Di gently waved her hand and said, "Go."

Blood dyed the Lizardman Kingdom red.

Xia Di raised her head and looked at the sky.

The sky is as clear as a mirror.

Blood was flowing on the ground.

“It didn’t come out…”
