Furthermore, is the battle to defeat the Demon King something that just anyone can participate in?
Not only did you disrupt the setup, but you also planned to steal kills in the end? And you even did it with such a self-righteous attitude?
She began to reflect on whether Arcadia's record was too good, making these allies too comfortable and so oblivious to the harsh realities of the situation.
Thinking this through, she nodded, even though she had originally intended to refuse outright.
"If you insist on participating in the war, it's not impossible!"
"Hey!"
At this moment, White Demon suddenly spoke up, worried that Canary might act impulsively.
Canary patted White Yaksha's arm, signaling her to calm down, then took out a report from her gift card and continued to add to the story.
"Perfect timing. We received some information about the Demon King from Lapoko. Since you dared to participate in the battle, you should also learn about the Demon King's background."
Upon hearing this, both White Demon and Lucius looked up.
"So fast?"
"The information about that damned demon king has come out?"
One was surprised, the other was delighted, and Lucius rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Lady Canary, who exactly is that guy? How dare he attack the people of our Arcadia Grand Alliance at a time like this? He must be either a demon king from some backwater or someone with no background. This time, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
"To put it simply, the opponent is a demon king of the four-figure level."
The canary got straight to the point, revealing the crucial information.
"Four digits?"
Lucius paused slightly, a little nervous, but not too surprised.
As a descendant of the hero Perseus, he was born with divine qualities and, although not good at fighting, possessed a strength in the five-figure range.
It's normal for a demon lord capable of attacking the entire Perseus to have four figures in his name.
With the weapons he wields, the Hades Helmet, and other such effects, even a demon king of four-figure level might not be able to withstand his sneak attack.
Seeing that Lucius remained relatively calm, Canary added.
"In addition, the opponent's spirit is suspected to be of the strongest type, or at least strongly related to the strongest type!"
"The...the strongest species?"
Lucius immediately shuddered.
Yesterday, their entire community was defeated without a fight, so he had no idea of the enemy's true strength.
Only after hearing what the canary said did he realize the situation was tricky.
The three strongest species in the Little Garden world—the innate gods and Buddhas, the pure-blooded dragons, and the star spirits—are all top-tier beings, easily surpassing even the demigods and heroes of mythology. Such beings cannot be defeated by a sneak attack based on weapon superiority.
"No, it's alright! We still have Xiaoming! With him resisting at the front, we can set up our assassination plan from behind!"
After the initial panic subsided, he still managed to come up with a solution.
The strategist of Arcadia is Canary, but Canary is completely incompetent in combat and is a real weakling.
The reason this community has been able to continuously defeat the Demon King is mainly due to the strength of its leader, the hero who holds the record for the highest challenge to date—Kasukabe Takaaki.
Kasukabe Takaaki, who wields the power of the Life Catalogue, has a proven track record of defeating the strongest species multiple times. With him around, there is no need to fear even if the enemy is the strongest species.
Upon hearing this, the canary added without changing its expression.
"According to Lapuzi's speculation, the other party's spiritual origin belongs to the Celtic pantheon, which may be related to the Halloween Queen."
"Celtic gods? Halloween Queen?!"
Upon hearing the name of the Halloween Queen, Lucius finally couldn't hold back anymore.
He wasn't afraid of anything else. No matter what happened, he had Arcadia to fall back on. As long as he teamed up with Arcadia, he believed that even the Demon King couldn't hurt him.
However, after hearing about the Demon King's background, he undeniably chickened out.
Although she has long since retired from being a problem child and no longer appears in the world as the Demon King, the Halloween Queen's unpredictable personality still inspires fear.
Taking rash action against anyone associated with the Queen, whether they are her friend or foe, could easily bring disaster upon oneself.
Being targeted by the Halloween Queen is far more dangerous than being targeted by the Demon King.
"Jin Jin, Lady Canary, I suddenly feel that professional matters should be left to professionals. I'll leave the matter of the Demon King to you. We in the logistics department can just wait for the results."
Lucius immediately spoke, intending to slip away unnoticed.
"Oh? You're not insisting that your community members come out to defeat the Demon King anymore?"
The canary asked deliberately.
"No, no! We don't have that capability."
Lucius quickly waved his hand, fearing that the canary would really capture them to fight the demon king.
"Ha~ It's best to have self-awareness."
The canary snorted coldly and did not press the issue further.
Knowing that he had just asked Lucius to shut up, he didn't dare to say anything more.
At this moment, White Yaksha, who had been listening to the intelligence reports, finally had a chance to speak.
She pretended to be nonchalant and asked casually.
"Canary, you said the Demon King is related to the Queen and the Celtic gods, and that he might be the strongest species... Has the Demon King's identity been confirmed yet?"
"Not yet... but we do have a suspected target."
Canary glanced thoughtfully at White Yaksha, whose expression had changed drastically, and then changed the subject.
"Based on the current clues, the strongest species corresponding to this Demon King is a pure-blooded dragon. There are quite a few beings in the Celtic pantheon who have both Demon King potential and are related to dragons."
"who is it?"
White Yaksha asked, her eyes wide.
Has Artoria's identity been exposed so quickly?
"The White Dragon who once ruled Britain—King Vortigern!"
Canary stated her previous assessment, and upon seeing White Yaksha's expression, her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Looks like I guessed wrong?"
226. A strange change occurs among the gods; Indra and his heavenly army are mobilized.
"Hmm, of course you're wrong... cough! What I mean is, Canary, your guess is very likely!"
White Demon, who almost let slip the secret, nodded solemnly.
Looking at the existing clues, it is indeed easy to think of Vortigern, the villain in the Arthurian legend, who symbolizes the white dragon.
Although King Arthur himself symbolizes the red dragon and meets the criteria, when it comes to the Demon King, people's first thought is not King Arthur.
"suspicious……"
The canary was not so easily fooled by the white demon.
As the strategist of Arcadia and the de facto leader of this alliance, she was a true shrewd person who had long seen through White Yaksha's insincerity.
Although White Yaksha has lived much longer than Canary, Canary is far more agile and resourceful than this white-haired loli.
In other words, Su Mo and the Halloween Queen are not worried about the canary's position.
Otherwise, I would never have allowed that flawed guy, White Yaksha, to put on such an acting show with this child's mother fox.
Of course, at this time, White Demon did not know that she had actually been abandoned by Su Mo and Halloween Queen long ago, so after noticing Canary's suspicion, she quickly changed the subject.
"If it is Vortigern, the white dragon symbolizing Britain, then this demon king is more dangerous than imagined. Under certain conditions, his strength may even reach the three-digit omnipotent realm."
Upon hearing these words, Lucius trembled even more, wishing he could bury his head under the table.
Let alone the other party's background and the Halloween Queen, just the fact that they are an all-around expert is something he can't afford to mess with.
Fortunately, he chose to give up, otherwise he would most likely have been smashed into mincemeat by the Demon King.
White Yaksha ignored his thoughts and continued speaking with a serious expression.
"This level of being is no ordinary demon king; we must strike hard!"
"Therefore, we think we should report this demon king's matter to the Heavenly Army. Until then, let's deal with this despicable demon king ourselves!"
Finally, White Demon revealed his true thoughts.
Arcadia is her friend, and Su Mo and the Halloween Queen's concerns are necessary. Therefore, the best strategy for her is to act as an intermediary and intercept Black Saber.
This way, there's no need to worry about conflict between Arcadia and Black Saber, and it also allows for better observation of the gods' movements.
White Demon's plan was very clever, however—
"That's not necessary!"
Seeing through her thoughts, the canary shook her head and rejected the white demon's proposal.
“A being in the four-figure range is not particularly dangerous to Xiaoming, who possesses the [Life Catalog], especially when the opponent is related to a pure-blooded dragon.”
"But--"
White Yaksha wanted to say something more.
"Didn't we say before that our policy is to defeat all Demon Lords? If we were to back down because of a mere four-digit Demon Lord, then we wouldn't be Arcadia!"
Canary successfully interrupted White Yaksha's attack.
Then, seeing that Shiroyasha looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, she revealed a fox-like smile before speaking condescendingly.
"Lord White Demon should have known this long ago, so why is he behaving so strangely today?"
"Could it be that you're hiding something about the timing of this Demon King's attack?"
"...No, of course not!"
I never imagined I would be exposed so quickly.
