Is it because there are heroes in the human world? Is it because they are protected by gods? I don’t think so… because we are not without sages who can defeat heroes, nor are we without the courage to fight against gods.
So why have we never succeeded?
Now, I understand...
There are thirteen Demon Lords in this dynasty, but only two can stay in the Demon King's City, and only five can obey my orders at any time. What about the remaining eight Demon Lords?
Which one of them is not a parasite clinging to his own territory and exploiting his people? Which one of them is not a parasite who is good at civil war but not good at foreign war!?
This group of demon kings are rotten, and my heart is broken! My predecessor handed over the Demon Realm to me more than 70 years ago, and I am more than capable of managing it like this. I am deeply distressed! I feel ashamed of my predecessor! I wish I could commit suicide and let the power of the demon king be passed on to the next generation!
What about the bunch of bastards represented by the Troll Demon Lord? They just sit there doing nothing, relying on their powerful military strength to ride on the heads of other demons and show off their power!
This king places his hopes for the future of Demon Realm on you, my people.
And they are endlessly squeezing and exploiting me, strangling this hope in the cradle! Just like the children on this list who are destined to starve to death at birth!
I was chosen for the position of Demon King by the power of the Demon King. After going through the trials of the previous king, I finally moved into the Demon King's Castle. Over the past few decades, I have worked tirelessly to find new possibilities for the future of the Demon Realm.
I am the Demon King because I have gone through the selection of the Demon King's power and am qualified to become a king. Then, why did the Troll Demon King become the Demon King?
Because his father is a troll king! And why did his father become a troll king? Because his father's father is also a troll king!
Even the Demon King cannot be hereditary, so how can the Troll Demon King rely on simple blood ties to ride on the heads of the demon people and act arrogantly! ?
Therefore, the reason why we demons always fail is not because humans are too strong, nor is it because of the gods behind them!
The enemies of the demons are no longer those humans. The real enemies of the demons are no longer outside, but inside the Demon Realm! They are inside the Demon King's Castle, in those few places that were always absent from the conference hall!
Under their influence, the Demon Realm is no longer the Demon Realm of the Demon Clan but the Demon Realm of the Demon Lord. The Demon Clan is no longer the subjects of the Demon Lord but the slaves of this group of Demon Lords!
So today! I am here to formally announce to my people! Starting from the Troll Demon Lord, I will conquer these demon lords who are just sitting there doing nothing!
This king is going to start a war, but it is not a war of conquest to conquer humans, but a war of liberation to liberate the people of our Demon Realm! Let the Demon Realm belong to the demons again!"
As she spoke, Margaret waved her jade hand, and a purple-black rapier appeared in her hand. Then, she pointed the sword in the direction of Troll Ridge and shouted loudly.
"The Demon King's army! Rise! Set off!!!"
Chapter 175
Don’t employ people you doubt, and don’t doubt people you employ
Following Margaret's order, the entire Demon King's City seemed to be boiling. From the outer city to the inner city, from the military camp to the residential area, the demons in every corner shouted to Margaret with all their might.
The shouts that rose to the sky were like overwhelming waves, one after another. Under the shouts of the people, it seemed that the entire Demon King's City began to vibrate.
Margaret's speech was undeniably successful. Not only did it justify the expedition, but it also raised a more critical issue to the people, which was the rectification of the Demon Lord.
With this speech as a starting point, Margaret's future crusade against other demon kings will have a popular foundation.
Calling the purpose of the crusade liberation can also gain more support from the people.
Irons knew very well that the Demon Realm was a multi-ethnic region, and the differences between ethnic groups could even reach the differences between species.
In such an environment, how can we mobilize the common emotions of all demons? How can we have an identity that can resonate with all demons?
After the failed conversation with Catalina in the Duolun Empire, Ains knew that he could no longer take it for granted and bring out the theory that was a bit too advanced nowadays.
Therefore, the title that Ains finally chose was the people of the devil.
Anyway, the Demon Realm is still in a semi-tribal society, so it would be better to just use the feudal monarchy system, right?
In this case, here comes the theory of great unification! All under heaven belongs to the king! All within the four seas are the king's subjects! First, a wave of wise kings will serve as a transition to unify the entire Demon Realm, and then we can talk about other things.
As it turned out, Ains's thinking was correct. This set of rhetoric was indeed recognized by the vast majority of demons and successfully strengthened the public's understanding of the main contradictions at this stage.
Listening to the overwhelming roar from the people of Demon King's City and looking at the results of the entire speech, Ains revealed an expression of success.
However, the two demon kings beside him couldn't help but sweat profusely...
Oh my god... The content of this speech is really too shocking for the two Demon Lords... Although, the rotten Demon Lords who dragged down the Demon Realm and affected the development of the Demon Realm in Margaret's speech were not talking about them.
But being in this position, both Engla and Sophia were somewhat hesitant when they heard Margaret's words about conquering the Demon Lord.
At this moment, they could only be thankful that they were considered to be relatively diligent among the demon lords.
Ains looked at the two demon kings beside him who were sweating profusely, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
In fact, there was a part in Margaret's speech that was not written by Irons, namely the part criticizing the Demon Lord.
In that paragraph, it was obvious that Margaret had added it herself to complain. Apparently, she had long harbored resentment towards those demon kings who simply did not listen to her.
When he got emotional during the speech, he just started cursing in public. It can be said that he let out a lot of emotion.
Of course, I have to say that Margaret is really talented in public speaking. She almost immediately understood the emotional arousing techniques that I taught her.
At this moment, Margaret's charm as a leader is qualified and even excellent.
Looking at Margaret's high-spirited back standing on the stage, Irons couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile on his face.
Amid the cheers of countless people in the Demon King's City, Margaret slowly walked back to the backstage, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, the majesty and arrogance of the Demon King instantly disappeared.
Instead, he pretended to be nervous and friendly, performed a rather clumsy face-changing in front of everyone, and then threw himself on Irons.
"Woo~ Honey, I'm so nervous~ Comfort me~"
Margaret hugged Irons and rubbed him around, even going so far as to put her hands inside his clothes and started taking advantage of him!
Irons touched Margaret's head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and could only comfort her: "Okay, okay... you spoke very well, it couldn't be better~"
"Really?"
"Really, whether it's the methods I taught you or your own impromptu improvisations, the results are excellent. The cheers of the people are proof of that."
As he spoke, Ains pointed at the people of Demon King's City who were still cheering loudly in front of the stage.
After receiving Irons' praise, Margaret couldn't help but smile and look proud.
"Hehe~ After all, I am the Demon King~ Of course, it's also because you taught me well~"
Margaret reached out and pinched Irons' nose, and Irons smiled and shook his head, asking, "Well, so, can you take your hand off my ass?"
As Irons questioned, Margaret sneered and moved her dishonest right hand away from Irons' butt.
Seeing Margaret still a little reluctant, Irons asked in a speechless voice: "Why should I pinch my ass?"
Margaret snorted and asked back, "What's wrong? Don't you also like to pinch my butt when we do it?"
"Ah... that's because it feels good to be pinched..."
"The same thing to me~"
"..."
After some mutual teasing, Margaret came up to the two demon kings. Because of the speech just now, the two demon kings became a little humble when facing Margaret.
Obviously, he was somewhat frightened by what Margaret said.
Margaret waved her hands in amusement and said, "Engra, Sofia, there's no need to be so polite. I won't eat you.
I absolutely believe in your loyalty, so don’t take what I just said on the podium to heart.”
“…Yes, Demon Lord.”
The two responded in unison. Of course, although they said this, it was unknown what they were thinking in their hearts.
Seeing that the two demon kings had a good attitude, Margaret smiled and nodded. Then, she focused her eyes on Sophia and said, "Sophia, you may need to work hard during this period of time."
"Don't worry, Lord Demon. During your absence, I will try my best to manage the Demon King's Castle..."
Sophia glanced at Ains with a guilty conscience and couldn't help asking, "Of course... that... do you really want His Excellency the King to join us in the crusade?"
Irons nodded in confirmation and explained, "Of course I want to go with you, because I want to take this opportunity to settle my grudge with Catalina."
"Forehead……"
Hearing this, Sophia couldn't help but look embarrassed, because in this expedition, most of the high-ranking officials of the entire Demon King's City had left.
First of all, as the commander of the military, Engla must lead the troops to the battle, and Margaret, as a role model, must go with them.
As for Ains, who has now become the backbone of internal affairs, he also expressed his willingness to go on the expedition together. All of a sudden, the burden of the entire Demon Realm's high-level officials fell on Sophia's head, which really put a lot of pressure on her.
Of course, although she felt pressured, she was also quite honored. After all, to be able to hand over all the core power to her during the expedition, it was obvious that the Demon King had absolute trust in her.
Therefore, Sophia only feels that she is in pain and happiness now...
As if she noticed Sophia's embarrassment, Margaret chuckled and comforted her: Relax, Sophia, you are the succubus lord I chose, and I believe you have the ability to manage the Demon King's Castle.
Of course, I also know that it is indeed a challenge to leave so many people behind and to have so many tasks fall on your shoulders.
So, when the time comes, I will let Cassia and her banshee clan help you manage the Demon King's Castle."
"The Banshee Clan..."
From Sophia's expression, it can be seen that she is not very satisfied with these helpers.
Although having this group of banshees to help maintain order could ensure the stability of the Demon King's City by force, Sophia felt that it was not reliable to let this group of banshees help with internal affairs.
After all, asking these clergymen who stay in the temple all day long to study scriptures to take care of internal affairs is a bit too much to ask.
However, due to Margaret's order, Sophia could not refuse openly and could only nod in thanks with a forced smile.
Seeing this, Margaret chuckled and said, "Haha~ Do you think it's unreliable? Don't worry, Sophia. Although most banshees are not very reliable, you can trust the ability of the Garcia priest.
If you still feel that this amount of manpower is still not enough, I have also prepared two helpers for you..."
"Hmm? There are two more. Who are they?"
Margaret smiled and said two names.
The moment they heard these two names, the two demon kings were shocked at the same time. Sophia quickly asked, "This... Lord Demon King! Letting them manage the Demon King's City while you are away... is it really okay?"
Margaret's expression was quite calm: "Don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ. Although their identities are sensitive, it is precisely their identities that prevent them from doing anything that would harm the Demon King's City.
Besides, I am the Demon King now, so they have to think twice before they can do anything. I am giving them a chance to be free, and it depends on whether they can seize this opportunity..."
After thinking for a while, Engla stepped forward and asked, "Even so, the two princes have been under house arrest for so many years, and they must have some resentment. The question now is whether they are willing to come out and help..."
Margaret calmly stroked a strand of her hair, and after slightly twirling it, she said softly, "This depends on Finia."

The sensation caused by this speech was huge. At this moment, the entire Demon King City became a loudspeaker, and the cheers from the people in the city seemed to be felt within a radius of several miles.
"Ohhhhh!!!"
Finia's attention was attracted by the cheers that came like waves. After showing a hint of surprise, she returned to her calm state.
Judging from this scene, it seems that the Demon Lord’s pre-war speech was very successful... It’s a pity that I couldn’t go over to see the Demon Lord’s style.
Finia felt a little regretful, but she quickly suppressed her emotions.
The Demon King has fulfilled his duties to perfection, and there must be no mistakes in my mission...
She raised her eyes and took in the mansion in front of her.
If an ordinary resident of the Demon King's City saw this house, he would basically be able to tell instantly that this family is extremely wealthy.
This is because the building materials of this mansion include a lot of wood that is quite rare in the Demon Realm, whether it is the wooden beams at the corners or the all-wooden door frames of the main gate.
The wooden structures specially displayed in these conspicuous places are synonymous with wealth and status in the Demon King's Castle.
Moreover, judging from the architectural style of the mansion, its structure has been carefully designed and built. Although such a small but exquisite mansion is placed in the Demon King's Castle, it will definitely arouse the envy of many big monsters.
However, the location of this mansion is quite remote. It is located on the leeward side at the foot of the cliff where the Devil's Castle is located.
If you don't go around to the leeward side, you basically won't discover that there is such a mansion at the foot of the mountain.
Due to its remote location, there are basically no visitors to this place. Therefore, although the mansion is quite luxurious, few people know about it.
Of course, if you know the purpose of this house, basically no one will be interested in it.
This mansion was built specifically for the prince to live in.
And because the succession of the Demon King is not hereditary like in the human world, the prince by human standards does not exist.
