Just a magical girl who picks up trash

With this idea in mind, dozens of knights immediately rushed towards Xia Lu, and the nearest knight was about to approach Xia Lu in the next second.

"Boom~~"

With a powerful kick, the charging knight was sent flying. Before the other knights could react, Xia Lu, who was standing a few steps away, appeared in front of them without them noticing. With the drumstick in her hand tucked behind her, she slammed her pitch-black steel fist into the armor of another knight's face before they could even react.

"Boom~~"

As the armor shattered, another figure flew backwards with a scream. However, this time, just when Xia Lu was about to continue her action, the knights around her had already reacted.

"Boom~~"

This time, the fist was blocked by a sword blade wrapped in flames. The next second, Xia Lu saw a pair of apologetic eyes through the sword blade:

"Princess, I'm sorry!"

"Dry~~~"

The scorching flames suddenly erupted, and immediately turned into red chains on the blade, which spread along Xia Lu's fist and surrounded it. At the same time, the other two figures beside the knight drew out the long swords at their waists almost at the same time, but they did not use them to attack, but to... cast magic!

"Shuashuashua~~"

A series of pitch-black shadows emerged from the ground like vines and bound Xia Lu's limbs. At the same time, another knight's sword was surrounded by an invisible breeze, and the next second it turned into invisible chains and tied up Xia Lu at the same time.

Unable to attack the princess, she could only use these binding spells. Xia Lu naturally didn't care much about this. After all, she had Xianggui's armor. Just when she was about to struggle to break free, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her head:

"Sister, get some sleep!"

"Oh? Damn it!"

The familiar voice immediately made Xia Lu's whole body tremble, as if she thought of something and thought to herself that something was wrong. However, before she could take any action, a warm light enveloped her in the next second.

'The Light of Resurrection!'

That was not an offensive magic, but a healing light magic. Of course, this was not the main reason why Xueli released it, but because the side effect of this magic was that it would make the person being treated... fall into a deep sleep!

Although the effect doesn't last long, it's obviously an extremely convenient way to catch someone without hurting them... The only problem is that the release conditions are a bit troublesome, as you have to be close to a certain distance!

If it was a one-on-one situation, Xia Lu would obviously not let Xue Li get close to her. However, at this time, perhaps because she had signed a contract with Yu Huan and thus gained a relationship with Xiang Gui... she underestimated her enemy!

Then, as expected, when Xia Lu woke up, she found herself tied up and guarded together with Xueli in the center of many knights, facing the melee between hundreds of races and demons below.

No one knew how long the battle had lasted. The corpses on the ground were already too numerous to count. Seeing this, Xueli's face was filled with more than just grief. However, Xia Lu, who had just woken up, completely ignored the tragic scene before her and asked casually:

"How long have I slept?"

She was clearly still very aware of her captivity, and it seemed that her transformation had ended after she fell asleep. Fortunately, the transformed flute didn't seem to be discovered by the other party, so she had a chance to escape... Thinking of this, Xia Lu's first thing to do was to stabilize the current situation and then look for an opportunity...

"Sorry, sister is too cunning, you...you should get some sleep!"

"Om~~"

"Wait……"

Xia Lu was stunned by the irrelevant answer. After she realized what her sister said, before she could say anything, the light fell from the sky again, and then in the light... Xia Lu fell into a deep sleep again.

This sister is my biological daughter!

157. The Devil Arrives

Prisoners... No, it should be said that the eldest princess of the empire was rescued. This was obviously a great victory for this battle. However, it seemed that they had anticipated this situation. Even though their leader was captured, the soldiers of the Demon Tribe did not retreat or show any sign of cowardice. Instead, they continued to charge towards the hundreds of tribes without fear of death.

Does this mean that they never took Xia Lu, their leader, seriously? Of course not. Rather, before they set out, without even Xia Lu knowing, Yu had already given orders to certain people:

"Given his personality, it's perfectly normal for him to fail on the battlefield. So... just in case, go over there and tell those soldiers to ignore their suicidal leader and just attack!"

Then someone who received the order followed Xia Lu in ambush. At the beginning, he performed quite well. After all, Xia Lu was the eldest princess, and there was no problem with various tactical configurations. In addition, she was also concerned about her true strength, so she couldn't help but feel that Yu was a little too worried.

Then, when she clearly saw Xia Lu, who had left the main force and gone alone to reminisce with the enemy commander on the battlefield, and then was captured, she was silent for a while and then silently placed her palm on her forehead.

"You idiot, could you please stop embarrassing our continent in front of those time travelers?"

Despite such disappointing words, he finally nodded his head silently as if giving up, and then muttered to himself once again:

"There's no other way. We have to go and rescue him. We can't really let this guy get taken away. Otherwise, Amy... no, Xiao Huan will definitely kick us out of bed!"

With a helpless tone, the light in his eyes changed slightly the next second. The pitch-black dagger appeared silently in his hand, and the whole figure disappeared silently from the spot.

……

"Your Highness, the demons are showing signs of fatigue. Do you want to send reinforcements?"

The battle lasted from morning till sunset. During this time, Xueli had cast countless large-scale magic spells to heal and aid the soldiers on the battlefield. Thanks to this, the casualties among the soldiers of the Hundred Races were not heavy. On the contrary, the demons suffered heavy casualties in their various fearless attacks.

Even in this situation, the Golden Light Demons were all brave and good at fighting, but they had no choice but to retreat in the face of a team that relied on support. After holding on for a day, they were already showing some signs of fatigue.

Seeing this situation, it was indeed a good opportunity to pursue the victory. Xueli thought for two seconds, looked at the battlefield in front of her, and immediately gave the order decisively:

"In that case, then... who is there?!"

"Shuashuashua~~"

The sudden words were accompanied by a look to the side, and at the same time, the knights guarding the surroundings all drew their weapons and looked in the direction of Xueli. Then everyone saw in an instant: Xia Lu, who was supposed to be sleeping quietly in the protection of the knights like an encirclement, had woken up from her deep sleep at some point.

Of course, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that at this moment, behind the bound Xia Lu, a small figure appeared out of nowhere and was cutting the ropes on her body. Just when Xueli sensed something was wrong, the two of them had just thrown the ropes to the ground and were about to slip away...

"..."

"..."

"..."

Countless eyes met, and the scene fell into a very awkward situation for a while. It was not until a long time later that Xueli's voice was heard from the crowd:

"Are you...Tang Xiaotang?"

Of course she knew the person who came. It was Xiaotang, Amy's guardian knight. He had quietly slipped up to Xia Lu without anyone noticing, planning to take her away while everyone's attention was on the battlefield...

"...Hi~~ Princess, long time no see!"

There was nothing he could do about being discovered. He immediately turned around and glared at Xia Lu, who was courting death. Xiao Tang immediately smiled and greeted her, and then...

"What are you standing there for? Run!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them jumped high, one on the left and one on the right, and began to flee into the distance without thinking.

"……Chase!"

Everything happened so suddenly that it took Xueli two or three seconds to react. Without even thinking, she ordered the soldiers to pursue. However, at this moment...

"Your Highness, there's a change on the battlefield ahead!"

"what?!"

"The devil...it's the devil. The devil...has appeared!"

The sudden report was filled with intense fear, and the battle report presented to her made Xueli slightly stunned at first. Then, without caring about Xia Lu and the others, she hurried to the top of the city and looked down. She saw that the battlefield, which should have been tense, had fallen into silence at this moment. All people, whether they were from the Hundred Races or the Demon Race, raised their heads and looked at the sky at this time. However, the difference was that the eyes of the Hundred Races were full of fear, while the eyes of the Demon Race... were full of excitement and excitement!

Darkness was spreading in the sky... This wasn't just some modifier or something, but true darkness... It was as if the darkness that could devour everything swept across the entire sky, causing an inexplicable black mist to emerge instantly in the battlefield where even the light was dim.

"You...want to resist?"

The sudden sound was like divine might, resounding in everyone's mind like a thunderclap. Then, as if sensing something, everyone, including Xueli, looked up at the sky. And then, in that instant, they saw...

The King in the Dark!

Sitting upright on the huge dark throne, the pitch-black armor was wrapped with golden patterns, and a pair of huge scarlet eyes were like bloodshot eyes filled with ominous colors. And around such a figure floating in the air, a corner of the looming huge creature would appear from time to time from the dark clouds. Under the pitch-black scales, vaguely visible in the sky was a pair of golden eyes that were as bright as the sun...

"Then... I will grant you... death!"

158. Demons surrender

“Ho ho ho~~~”

The giant beast that blocked out the sun roared in the sky, and dark clouds fell from the sky like the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Accompanied by the roar of the giant beast, it instantly took the lives of nearly 10,000 people present, including hundreds of races, including... the demons!

This passage comes from the records of this battle in later generations. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, victory in the war, or anything else, because it was after that battle that the city no longer existed in the territory of the continent, and tens of thousands of soldiers were buried forever underground along with the city.

A battle, in which the Demon King's figure was not even fully revealed, ended with him showing his might. It also truly told the entire continent how different she, who was named the Demon King, was from the imposter Gaimon.

When Xueli fled back to the capital of the Perrich Empire with the remaining knights of less than a few dozen people in a panic, this battle that shocked the entire continent spread among hundreds of races in an instant.

Terror, fear, despair, wailing, dead silence, madness...all kinds of negative emotions filled the entire empire almost in an instant...no, every inch of the entire continent. If everyone was skeptical about the statement that the Demon King would destroy the world, and firmly believed that as long as there were heroes, the Demon King was nothing to worry about, then Yu Huan's move this time clearly told everyone what...reality is!

The Demon King is terrifying. He is the strongest on the continent who can destroy it. Even a brave man can never be his opponent... There is no need to verify it, and there is no need to quibble. For those who still have a blind mentality, in fact, you only need to take them to the former city that is now a desert and take a look. Naturally, you can make them shut up!

"We must come up with a countermeasure!"

"How about...surrender?"

"Surrender? Are you stupid? If we surrender now, will we still have a chance of survival?"

"Why not? It's just being ruled by the demons, right? It's better than being exterminated!"

"Haven't you noticed yet? The Demon King even killed all the demons in that battle!"

"Wha...what? How could this happen?"

"Don't you understand? The Demon King doesn't care about ruling the world at all. His goal is just as Lord Zuntian said...to completely destroy the world and kill all races!"

"How could that be...but what good will this do him?"

"Who knows? The demons are all crazy. It's not surprising to have such a crazy demon king!"

"Then... then what should we do?"

"At a time like this, the only option is to fight to the death!"

"This is no longer the time for intrigue. Let's...unite, shall we?"

"If we unite, we will have a chance of survival!"

"That's right, the situation has become a matter of life and death. It's time to make a decision!"

"The Iron Stone Clan is willing to join the Demon-Slaying Alliance!"

"The elves are willing to join the Demon-Slaying Alliance!"

"The Dwarves are joining us!"

"My Druid clan is joining us too!"

"Count me in as one of the unicorn clan!"

"My spirit race..."

"I represent the royal family of Perrich..."

Voices echoed throughout the vast conference hall. Some came from the leaders or envoys of various tribes, while others were so remote that they could only use magic crystals to transmit their wishes.

In the face of the devil's powerful deterrent force that can destroy the world, all races truly united at this moment and began to fight against the devil... no, it should be said that it was for the continuation of the race... the final war!

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, this has been the best way to decide a battle since ancient times. Therefore, in view of this, after the first real alliance of the hundreds of races, they immediately put forward such a statement.

Plan... There is no plan anymore. The method is very simple, that is to gather all the forces of all races to directly attack the demons. In the final battle, we do not seek to completely annihilate the demons, but only to hold them back. At the same time, the only two remaining heroes will go to the Demon King's City together to defeat the Demon King!

Only the brave can fight against the devil. This is not paranoia, but the law of this world. In this situation, perhaps affected by the laws of the world, there is no doubt that in just a few days, the strength of both Ai Xue and Zun Tian began to grow almost explosively.

The time was set for seven days later. Seven days was enough for all the forces of the hundreds of races to rush to the Perrich Empire, and preparations in all aspects were also made at the same time. This was the end of a decisive battle, so naturally no race would give in or hold back. They just needed to give their all and fight to the death!

However, just when the hundreds of tribes were busy preparing, one day Xueli from the Perrich Empire Palace suddenly received an urgent notice:

The presence of demons was discovered in Tiege City, the main border city of the Perrich Empire which has not yet been occupied by the demons!

Of course, now that the demons had completely broken out of the Abyssal Labyrinth and rushed into the mainland, seeing them wasn't so surprising. However, what truly shocked Xueli and even the entire race was that those demons... actually came to surrender?!

That's right, surrender. Just when the demons were at their peak and about to rule the continent, a large number of demons came to surrender. It was so close that anyone who was not stupid would know that this was definitely...

"It's a trap, it must be a trap!"

"Conspiracy, this must be a conspiracy of the demons, we can't let them succeed!"

"The demons must all die, otherwise how can we commemorate the soldiers of hundreds of races who died on the battlefield!"

"That's right, kill them...kill them all!"

"kill!"

"That's right, the demons must die!"

The sounds that came one after another and the angry reactions of the crowd fully demonstrated the hatred of the demons by everyone present and the fear and timidity hidden in their hearts. However, just when Xueli was planning to follow the wishes of these people and kill the demons, another piece of news from the messenger made her unable to sit still in an instant!

"The leaders of this group of demons seem to be... Princess Xia Lu and the former guardian knight Xiaotang. In addition, there is... and... and it seems that there is also the former demon king who challenged the demon king Kuuga: Leisa Murphy!"

Xia Lu, the eldest princess of the Perrich Empire; Xiao Tang, Amy's guardian knight, were both taken away in Zeng Yu's sudden betrayal. Xue Li didn't know the identity of Leisa, but the mere fact that she was a former demon king was enough to shock everyone. The originally noisy meeting fell silent, and Xue Li, who had been silent for a long time, immediately issued an order:
