In the Demon King City, a huge bone dragon prostrate under the throne, its body made of white bones was fragile, and its joints seemed to break at any moment.

On the throne, Agnes sat triumphantly, looking at the skulldragon condescendingly, and Sothos, who was standing beside him, bowed his head respectfully.

In the hollow of the bone dragon's head skull, the blue soul fire burned, a little faint, it glanced at Agnes with the flame eyes, lowered its head, and spoke in some way: "The bone dragon clan, willing to surrender to you." ”

As the leader of the Bone Dragon Clan, it is also helpless, although they abide by tradition and are very disdainful of this usurpation, but in the face of absolute power, if they do not surrender, they can only perish.

I have to admit that Agnes's strength is much stronger than that of the old king, and with the cursed scythe in his hand, it is not surprising that the strongest demons with the strongest weapons can crush them.

Agnes bit down the apple in her hand, an evil smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth, she stood up, crossed her waist with her left hand, and waved her right hand forward: "In that case, then the bone dragon clan should also join the frontline battlefield." ”

Joining the fray?

As soon as these words came out, the flames in the dragon's eyes under the throne trembled visibly, and it raised its dragon's head, and the bones rubbed together to make a creaking sound.

"Your Majesty, we just ......"

Before the other could finish, Agnes interrupted.

"You don't have to work too hard, just consume, you can participate in the battle near the Demon Realm, contain the human race and keep them on the front line for a long time.

Regardless of the occupation or anything, the main purpose of this war is to attract attention and consume the living force of humanity. ”

What does the king mean...... Tug?

Sothos, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned and looked at Agnes in confusion, he really couldn't understand why Agnes didn't attack with all his strength, but instead engaged in a tug-of-war.

Now the balance of war is definitely in favor of the demon race, as long as you attack with all your strength, even if you can't completely destroy the human race, you can occupy a large area of land in the outside world.

But if it dragged on like this, it would only give humanity a respite, the cunning and tenacity of humanity that they had seen for thousands of years, and it would be possible to make a comeback with a little respite, and His Majesty would not fail to understand this, but why did she make such a decision?

The leader of the Bone Dragons left the main hall, and only Sothos and Agnes were left in the main hall.

Sotos hesitated, but finally decided to make a statement.

"Your Majesty, actually, I don't think we need to engage in a war of attrition."

"Oh?" Agnes smiled, looking interested in Sotos' remarks, "You should have heard it. ”

Hearing Agnes's words, Sothos breathed a sigh of relief, he believed that as long as the other party could give him the opportunity to list the reasons, then he would definitely be able to convince the Demon King.

"First of all, the first reason is that humans are very tenacious, and their fecundity is also quite good, and our combat power has been greatly reduced after we left the Demon Realm, it is difficult to wipe out the human race, and after a long time, the human race will definitely recover again.

If you want to limit the resurgence of humanity, you can start by consuming the opponent's living force, so that they don't have people to fight.

In addition to this, it is necessary to limit the resources of the opponent so that they do not have the equipment to fight. ”

At this, Sothos paused, as he wanted to make sure the Demon King understood the theories.

If the other party can't understand it, this time the words are just empty talk, and it will also leave a bad impression on the Demon King, which is something that Sothos wants to avoid.

Thankfully, Agnes could tell from her expression that she was listening carefully.

"I understand what you mean, if you keep fighting, you can consume the opponent's living force, but our army is also constantly consumed, so what?" Agnes asked rhetorically.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are right, this is the point, as you said, we are constantly being consumed, but if we can encroach on the land of the people, then we can limit the source of their armaments, and it can also have a good effect on their reproduction.

In other words, land is the root of everything, and we should not aim to kill them all, but to make the grabbing of land the top priority. ”

"As long as the land is grabbed, then the reproduction of human beings will be limited, and even if a new generation of warriors can grow, they can't be equipped into a full army because of limited resources, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Sothos complimented excitedly, glad that his leader was so open-minded and clever.

Agnes nodded, smiled freely, reached out and lifted the long hair on her chest and threw it behind her back, looked at Sothos with a smile, and replied decisively: "No!" ”

Not...... Veto?

Why was it vetoed? Could something have gone wrong?

Sothos froze in place, confused.

Agnes patted Sothos on the shoulder and said, "Sothos, you are the smartest man under my command, and it is not unreasonable to say that you are my advisor. ”

"Your Majesty has won the award." Sotos was flattered, but still baffled by the other party's decision.

"But!" Agnes changed her words: "Your pattern is still not big enough." ”

Sotos didn't speak, he stood still and waited for the other party's reprimand, although he was puzzled, but the words of the Demon King were absolute, and there was definitely a reason why the Demon King did not adopt his own opinion.

It is possible that the strategy is not perfect, and that is his mistake.

It is possible that His Majesty is unhappy, and that is a mistake in the way he speaks.

Anyway, His Majesty is absolutely right anyway! Even if you are rejected correctly, it is your own fault!

Sothos thought so in his heart, there was a miniature sculpture of Agnes in his room, which he had carved with his own hands, and secretly hid it in his secret room, and the first thing he did when he got up every morning was to worship the statue of Agnes, and in his heart, Agnes was on an equal footing with the great dark god.

"Sothos, do you know why I usurped the throne?" Agnes asked suddenly.

She sat back on the throne and stroked the throne, a complicated look flashing in her eyes, as if she remembered something.

According to Sothos's guess, Agnes' usurpation is undoubtedly to revive the demons and replace the old king, but there are other reasons besides this, such as emotional problems.

One of the well-known things in the Demon World is that after a conversation between Agnes and the Old King, she asked to make a marriage contract with the Old King, but the Old King refused without a hint of hesitation, the reason for which Sothos is not very clear, but he is sure that the conspiracy behind the scenes is not as simple as what he sees.

The Demon King doesn't seem to like the old king at all, and she has been abusing the old king for a long time, so at that time, the Demon King definitely had her own purpose in proposing the marriage contract, and as for what the purpose was, it is unknown.

However, this may be a good opportunity.

A good opportunity to know this secret.

Sothos was a little excited, he was very curious about the secrets behind that incident, which he would never have touched in normal times, but now that His Majesty had raised a question, perhaps he could lead the conversation to it.

"Your Majesty, is it about that marriage?" Sothos asked boldly, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Agnes glanced at him, and the cold look in her eyes told him that he shouldn't have asked this question this time.

"The subordinate is rude, this is not something I should ask."

"No, it's not rude, it's not rude, you didn't do anything wrong." The ice in Agnes' eyes suddenly melted, and a smile bloomed on his face again: "But this is not the reason why I expelled him, the reason for expelling him is because of contradictory thoughts, although my brother seems stupid in some aspects, I have to deny that he is a hero who can control the pace of the times, and unfortunately the future he wants is not the same as mine, so I expelled him." ”

A man who controls the pace of the times?

The boy who didn't do anything?

Sotos couldn't believe that the Demon King, whom he respected the most, would give such a high evaluation to the kind of guy who doesn't do anything and only thinks about experiencing human life all day long.

He had to ask, "Why?" ”

The beautiful queen in front of her laughed three times, and she took a few bites of the apple in succession: "Stupid Sotos, do you think about why I expelled him but didn't kill him?" Is it because of the ridiculous sibling relationship? ”

Looking at Sotos, who didn't dare to squeak in front of her, Agnes shook her head in disappointment.

Agnes sighed and thought to herself, sure enough, you are the only one who can really see through me, how lonely it is.

Moving his gaze into the distance, he finally stopped at the statue of the demon kings of the past dynasties, looking at the stone sculpture of his predecessor, his eyes suddenly burst with a touch of essence, his face showed an expression of expectation, his eyebrows were as cold as a crescent moon raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined an unfathomable smile.

"One day, you and I will face off at the apex of the continent, and at that time, we will know who is right and who is wrong."
