Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

Send them to a safe place and leave some money behind, that's actually enough.

Just as he was about to lower the carriage curtains, an army suddenly appeared at the end of the horizon ahead.

The leading blonde female knight was wearing silver-white armor, riding on a white warhorse, holding a magic staff, and surrounded by many knights also wearing silver armor.

As the distance shortened, the number of people gradually became clear.

A total of four or five hundred silver-armored knights led the way, and behind them were two or three thousand ordinary soldiers riding on colorful war horses, chasing after them.

As the two sides approached, Glo, who was accompanying the army, noticed Naofumi Iwaya driving and immediately waved and shouted:

"Lord Shangwen, I have invited the Holy Knights from the Holy Kingdom to rescue you!"

He is indeed one of us.

Iwaya Naofumi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stopped the carriage.

Although his intuition told him that it should be one of his own, it could also be an enemy.

Therefore, he was actually quite nervous just now.

"stop!"

At the command of the blonde female knight, more than 3,000 knights all stopped.

Then she rode up alone and stopped in front of the carriage.

"Are you the Shield Hero that Glo mentioned? You don't seem to be very strong. Could you please ask the adventurer who saved you and our people to come out and meet you?"

The next moment, the car curtain slowly opened and Ye Men was the first to walk out.

“Ah…!”

The blonde knight couldn't help but exclaimed, realizing her own impoliteness, and quickly dismounted:

"Your magic is as deep as the ocean, and your appearance is breathtaking, like a god from heaven. May I ask, do you have…"

Before he could finish his words, he noticed that many extremely beautiful young women had walked out of the carriage. His expression froze instantly and the second half of his sentence came to an abrupt end.

"Yemen, are you loved at first sight?" Kagome teased.

"No, her words were too greasy, too earthy, and too awkward. They gave me goosebumps. It was obviously plagiarized from a fantasy romance novel."

Ye Men changed the subject and said with a smile:

"But this is the first time someone has praised me for my good looks in person. Haha... I feel so good right away."

"Don't be so conceited!" Kagome looked back at Ye Men and whispered, "Actually... you are really good-looking. The girls in your class often discuss in private that you are the best-looking boy in the school, but most of them are too embarrassed to say it to your face."

"Is that so? This is the first time I've heard of this. From this point of view, the fantasy world is better, it's straightforward, but the lines are a bit awkward, and the listeners' scalps tingle."

Chapter 128: We are all busy, so let’s go our separate ways

Listening to the two people's frank discussion, the blonde knight's face was full of embarrassment. In addition to being embarrassed and annoyed, she couldn't help but ask:

"Is what I said really so strange? In novels, when a knight says this, the princess will often blush and have wild thoughts in her mind."

Kagome burst out laughing. She must have learned this from a fantasy novel.

"Well... you can try to imagine a scene like that. A stranger you meet for the first time suddenly runs up to you and says the same thing he just said."

“It does seem a little awkward.”

The blonde knight blushed slightly and tried to change the subject by introducing herself:

"I am Calca Besares, the king of the Holy Kingdom. I heard from my countrymen that demons appeared in the demihuman wasteland and kidnapped many citizens. Even the Shield Hero was captured, so I brought the Paladins to rescue them."

"I didn't expect to be here so late. Thank you very much for helping the people of the Holy Kingdom. What are your names?"

Realizing that she had been stealing glances at Yemen, Kagome was speechless.

Although he was indeed very good-looking, it always felt weird for people to notice him because of something like this.

"My name is Kagome, and you probably don't care about my identity or anything like that. His name is Yemen, and you probably just want to know that, right?"

"No, I've already memorized Ms. Kagome's name. Um...what's your relationship?"

"Unmarried couple."

“Is…I see.”

Seeing her desolate face, as if the sky had fallen, Kagome felt extremely helpless.

Forget it, I'd better not say anything. It would be terrible if I made her cry.

At this time, the many knights behind Calca spoke up:

"Lady Saint! Do you need us to help you get your husband back?"

"Your Majesty, you have reached the right age to marry, but you still have no partner. The whole country is very anxious. It is a rare opportunity like this, you really can't miss it."

"That's right, Saint Lady, don't worry. Our country does not practice monogamy. The person you like seems to be quite capable. As long as he can make corresponding achievements, the royal family should not object."

Listening to everyone’s suggestions, King Calca of the Holy Kingdom blushed and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

It's because everyone has been saying this kind of thing that I was possessed just now and subconsciously used lines from a fantasy novel.

It's over! If this matter gets out, I feel like people will laugh at me for hundreds of years.

But it’s such a pity, why does he have a fiancée?

"Ahem... please stop making fun of me. It doesn't matter what happens to my personal affairs, but the citizens who were saved are more important."

"Your Majesty, among those who were rescued, in addition to our people, there are also many demi-humans. Should we expel them or...?"

?

Hearing the Knight Commander’s voice beside her, Calca gradually came to her senses and glanced at the humans and demihumans who were supporting each other behind the carriage.

At a rough glance, the total number should be around 20,000, of which sub-humans account for more than half, or more than 10,000.

The subhumans living in the wasteland are all soldiers, just like our country.

In other words, it was precisely in order to fight against demihumans that the country required all citizens, regardless of gender, to undergo training as reserve soldiers after adulthood.

If these sub-humans were expelled, with a scale of more than 10,000 people, I think a large and powerful tribe would soon emerge.

At this time, Ye Men spoke at the right time:

"I don't know if you've heard about the human ranch. These demihumans are victims just like the people of the Holy Kingdom, and they're even worse off."

"Humans were secretly abducted. At least they have a home to return to, but these demihumans were captured after their race was exterminated. They have nowhere to go."

“I know that the Holy Kingdom and the demihumans have always been hostile, and there is a lot of accumulated hatred between the two sides, but even so, I still hope that the Holy Kingdom will take in these demihumans and treat them equally.”

Calca’s expression froze for a long time.

After a long while, he hesitated and said:

"I understand your idea, but no one in my country would agree with it."

"No, you still don't understand me."

Ye Men shook his head slightly and spoke again:

"The Holy Kingdom is just an isolated island. There is sea to the west, north, and south. Only the east is connected to the demihuman wasteland."

"If there was a wiser ruler, he would have been inclusive, adopted an egalitarian approach, subjugated the demihumans, and then taken over the entire wasteland. Instead of holding on to old racial prejudices and fighting against the demihumans until now."

"It is precisely because of my expectations of you that I want to take them to the Holy Kingdom."

"But if you can't accept Asians no matter what, or if you think you can't convince your countrymen, then I will take them with me to other countries."

That's it!

Calca gradually came to understand, and inexplicably felt ashamed of herself.

The other person is so noble and generous, with the whole world in his heart. In comparison, I am like a petty country girl.

"I'm sorry, but I personally think that this kind of self-contained behavior is too foolish. There are many countries in the world where multiple races coexist."

"I have also traveled to many countries by ship, and have seen many scenes of demi-humans and humans going hand in hand."

"However, since the day our country became an independent nation, we have been hostile to the demi-humans. We stubbornly believe that humans are supreme and that other races have no need to exist."

"That's why we built the Great Wall on the border and defended it year after year, without ever thinking of occupying the land outside the Great Wall."

“Perhaps some people may have doubts from time to time, but in the end they can only remain silent in the face of the general trend.”

“I have thought about making changes, but compared to the difficulties and negative consequences of failure, it is too easy to do nothing.”

"So, what is your decision?" Ye Men asked in a deep voice.

"Can I discuss this with everyone after I get back?"

"No, I can wait, but these people can't. You need to make a decision right now. If you refuse, I will take them to other countries."

"Woooo..."

Karja was deeply conflicted. This was not only a major issue concerning national development, but also a private matter concerning personal happiness.

Her intuition told her that if she refused here, it would be difficult for both parties to meet again.

Even if we meet again, we will just be strangers.

And if we can take this opportunity, perhaps we can deepen our understanding and even go a step further.

No, my heart beats faster just thinking about it.

Although she wanted to agree directly, she was not the kind of king who would do what he said.

For a major matter like this, it would take at least a few meetings and a lot of arguing before any progress could be made.

She really didn't want to talk about things she couldn't do.

"I want to agree to your request directly, but even as a king, I can't act arbitrarily. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault."

Seeing the disappointment in the other person’s eyes, Calca’s heart tightened, and she felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation.

“In that case, you take the people of the Holy Kingdom back with you, and I will take the remaining demihumans to other countries.

It’s just a pity that after this incident, these people should have become the seeds for the harmonious coexistence of humans and demihumans.”

"I…"

Calca opened her mouth, but hesitated.

At this moment, her heart was filled with loss.

Why did it turn out like this? I finally met the person I liked, but he already had a fiancée.

Moreover, because of the demihuman matter, he and I are about to part ways.

"Which country do you plan to take them to? In fact, the surrounding countries are all human supremacists. Even if they go to the Kingdom of Ri*Estij, the situation will not be much different. It is best to let them stay in the wilderness."

"How can this be considered the best? They are ordinary people with nothing, and they are relatively weak. Those who dared to resist were killed long ago."

Ye Men shook his head slightly. The demihumans in the wasteland lived in a tribal system. If he asked them to set up a new tribe, he would have to pay for it and might even have to stay and work as a nanny for a while.

He saved people out of kindness, but ended up saving a bunch of stupid people. How could this happen in the world?

Finding a country that can accommodate them would be the most humane thing to do.

After going over the countries with multi-ethnic coexistence in his mind, Ye Men waved his hand across the sky and opened the portal to the Kingdom of Elfriden.

"This is... a long-lost teleportation magic! Excuse me, what is the other side?"

"The Kingdom of Elfriden in the north is a typical multi-ethnic country. It is currently suffering from famine. I can easily solve this problem."

"You can actually teleport to such a far place. Are you... a summoned hero?"

"What kind of strange association is this?"

"Because you have an extraordinary aura, and your strength is obviously different from that of ordinary people, just like a legendary hero."

"Then let's go our separate ways here."

"this…"

"We are all busy people. There is no need to waste time on these meaningless conversations."

"Is it very boring for you to talk to me?"
