Chapter 398: Time and Prayer
Space and time are one, and in the world of nothingness, not only space is meaningless, but even time is meaninglessβa day outside the world may be equivalent to only one second in the main material world, or it may be equivalent to a year in the main material world.
Green felt like he had only been out for a moment, but in the main plane, a whole year had passed!
One year is enough time for a lot to happen - such as a back-and-forth between the Kingdom of Northbold and the Demons.
β¦β¦
In August 171 of the Six Divine Calendar, the brave Willy went deep into the Demon King City and successfully killed the Demon King.
In October 171 of the Six Divine Calendar, the Kingdom of Norsbod, under the leadership of King Dorne I, launched a counterattack against the demons! The kingdom's army regained the vast territory of the north and pushed the battle line to the Tara River. However, due to logistical difficulties and heavy snowfall, the offensive momentum ended below the Annarinar Mountains.
In December of the 171st year of the Six Gods Calendar, there were frequent news of demon pirates attacking villages around the coast in the coastal areas of the Norsboy Kingdom, and the seals of many monster nests in the coastal areas were destroyed. The situation in the coastal areas is erosive, the sea supply line is in crisis, and the kingdom's navy is forced to be transferred to the south to guard the supply line and eliminate the demon pirates.
In January 172 of the Six Divine Calendar, a naval battle broke out between the kingdom fleet and the demon fleet in Elven Bay! Demon Admiral "Kardell" led the Demon Navy to lead the kingdom fleet into the demon ambush. After that, the "Black Wing Witch" Asine and the "Demon Princess" Nana respectively led the Demon Air Force to attack the Kingdom Navy fleet, which eventually led to heavy damage to the Kingdom Navy Fleet.
Since the "Black Wing Witch" As-Yin, the names of the "Demon Princess" Nana and the "Giant (Harmonious) Breasted Man" Kardell are also well known to the kingdom.
In February of the 172nd year of the Six Gods Calendar, when the winter snow first melted, King Dorne immediately led the kingdom's army over the Annarinar Ring Mountains, stepped into the Miracle Canyon, and approached the Demon King City!
In March 172 of the Six Gods Calendar, the Kingdom Army successfully captured the most important dragon monster lair in the Miracle Canyon, but did not find the fallen floating city of Leffester.
While the main force of the kingdom attacked the Miracle Canyon, the main force of the demon clan also crossed the Tara River and attacked the occupied area of the kingdom army. Some areas have fallen, and the demon army has stopped under the Great Wall of Rui Aidi.
At the end of March, it's a magical night.
A huge island of magic immunity suddenly appeared on the eastern shore of the Ray Eddy Wall on a magical night. The demon general "Blackwing Witch" Ace Yin led the demon army along Dragon Turtle Island, bypassing the fortified Great Wall of Ray Eddy and raiding Senague Harbor!
With the fall of Senag Harbor, a large number of demons have poured into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Norsbod, destroying all the towns and villages in their path! A large number of monster nests have been liberated from the seal, and a wave of monsters has erupted in the hinterland of the kingdom. The whole country was shocked!
At the beginning of April 172 of the Six Gods Calendar, after leaving behind a large army, King Dorne took the air force and cavalry troops in an airship, intending to return to the kingdom in advance, but was intercepted by the demon air force on the way!
In this fierce air battle, the demon air force suffered heavy losses, but King Dorne was also accidentally killed in this battle.
At the end of April, the Council decided that the Council would take the throne of the king until a new king was elected.
In May 172 of the Six Divine Calendar, under the bewitchment of the "Silver Witch" Alice, the first lord to surrender appeared in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Northbod. The Imperial Council declared those who surrendered "rebels"!
In June 172 of the Six Gods calendar, the aristocratic coalition in the Miracle Canyon was forced to withdraw due to insufficient supplies. When crossing the Annarinar Crater, he was constantly harassed and ambushed by the demon army, and some nobles were captured.
In July 172 of the Six Gods, "Hill Thunder" Folsky died at the assassination of a noble traitor. The Imperial Council has announced an assassination bounty for Alice, the Silver Witch.
In August 172 of the Six Gods calendar, as more and more nobles rebelled, the kingdom of Northbod became more and more crumbling, and at this time, the Mona in the castle heard a voice at the festival "Commemorating the First Anniversary of the Demon King's Disappearance......
"Mona?"
In the castle kitchen, a group of Mona are gathering in the castle to hold a banquet.
Since the disappearance of the Demon King, the "Demon Princess" Nana has also become the nominal leader of the Demon King City, with full authority to handle the internal affairs of the Demon Clan. But in fact, the demon authority of the "Demon Princess" is not the highest among the demons, and many Mona among Mona have the same authority as the "Demon Princess", and they can do what they want in private without listening to the princess - such as banquets, banquets, and banquets.
Since the disappearance of the Demon King, I am sad (?) Mona often holds banquets to commemorate the Demon King. On the first anniversary of the Demon King's disappearance, a banquet must be held!
The Monas happily brought out a variety of magical foods from the kitchen and began to divide them.
In the past, these super-high magic foods were the "top ingredients" that only the Demon King could enjoy, but since Mona became the master, most of these good things have fallen into the stomachs of Mona - at most some will be given to the princess, and as for the others, in Mona's opinion, they are not qualified to enjoy the ingredients that can only be enjoyed by the Demon King.
However, since it is a festival to commemorate the Demon King, there is naturally some work that still needs to be done.
A high-ranking Mona got up, stood on the table, and began to speak: "Mona! Mona Mona ~ Mona Mona Mona ~ "
Just as the high-ranking Mona was happily giving a speech, all the Mona suddenly stopped, looked around with a confused expression: "Mona? β
The high-ranking Mona in the speech also seemed to sense that something was wrong: "Mona? β
Mona was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly exclaimed at the same time!
"Mona !!"
The exclamations of the Mona resounded in the sky, and could be heard in almost the entire royal city.
In the conference room of the castle, Alice, who was discussing work with Beladona and others, frowned slightly: "What are those Mona doing?" β
Beladonna: "Today is the one-year anniversary of Dad's disappearance, and they're paying their respects to Dad. β
The corners of Alice's mouth twitched slightly: "I say, princess, don't spoil them too much." They're just looking for an excuse to eat a big meal. The Demon King is just missing, and there is no need for any memorial at all. β
"Hmm......" Beladona was silent.
Alice glanced at Beladona and didn't say much, "Let's continue to discuss the next work." In a few days, a group of surrendered nobles will come to meet them. When the time comes, you have to be a 'princess', accept their allegiance, divide the territory, and give them rich rewards. Not many nobles have surrendered to us now, but the vast majority of the nobles have actually been shaken, and as long as we show enough generosity, the vast majority of the nobles in the kingdom will soon fall to us. After all, the current situation in the kingdom seems to be bad, and I believe that the vast majority of nobles will not want to serve the 'dead' king. β
"yes, I see." Beladonna sat in a chair, holding a black Mona doll, and nodded.
Alice: "Felix, As-In, I'll leave the work of the guards to you." Don't let the Assassins get involved! It is enough to have a previous tragedy once, not a second time. β
"Why are you directing there like a leader?" "The Witch of the Black Wing," As-Yin looked at Alice with an unhappy face.
"Because now only I have the means to defeat the Kingdom of Northbod." Alice smiled, "In order to kill the king, the flying troops were almost completely wiped out, and the ground troops could only bypass the sea under the bombardment of the defenders of the Great Wall, and there was not one monster left that could pass through that 'road of death'. If we can't win over the human nobles, what are we going to do to fight the kingdom? Moreover, the concentration of mana in the south is not as high as in the north, and the activities of the monsters are greatly restricted, even if we still have enough troops in our hands, it is difficult to destroy those castles and fortresses in the hinterland of the kingdom by storming. β
Asine was silent. As a veteran of combat experience, Asine naturally knew that what Alice said was true. The situation on the demon side is actually not optimistic, mainly because the troops are about to run out! During the period when humans occupied the demon territory, the strength of the demon clan has been in a state of decline, and several tough battles have caused heavy casualties to the main force of the demon race.
"Next, the North will focus on reconquiring lost territory, while the fighting in the South will be based on diplomacy, supplemented by fighting." Alice paused, "Ladies, as long as we can destroy the Kingdom of Norsbod, then from now on, no enemy will be able to threaten us!" And everything we have done, when the Demon King returns, the Lord will definitely know. If we do a good job, the Demon King will surely praise our actions at that time! β
"Humph! ~ When the time comes, you should be the only one who will be praised by the Demon King. Felix looked upset.
"The Demon King once said to me: As long as things are done well, no matter what the process is, there is merit. Your recent efforts and dedication, Lord Demon King will definitely know. Alice looked at everyone meaningfully, "We can't hide or lie to the Demon King, and we can't even hide what we think in our hearts. So as long as we work as hard as we can, then we will be able to gain the appreciation of the Demon King, and vice versa...... If you cheat and play tricks, you can't hide anything when you ask when the demon king comes back. β
After encouraging the crowd and relying on the Demon King to suppress their dissatisfaction, Alice continued to organize the meeting.
Although Beladonna, as the "Demon Princess", is the nominal supreme leader of everyone, but because Beladona doesn't understand anything, the decision-making is basically decided by Alice and Felix, and only when the two can't get along, Beladona will intervene.
While Alice and Felix were discussing, Tsubasato suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside.
"What's wrong?" Alice looked at Asine strangely.
"Those rabbits......" Wingman looked out the window, "what are those Mona doing?" β
"Huh?" Alice walked over curiously and looked out the window.
In the small square outside the window, a large number of Mona are gathering around the statue of Grimm in the square, as if some kind of ritual is being performed......
"Hmm...... Looks a bit like praying? Alice wondered if she was wrong. How can these lazy rabbits pray like humans?
I saw Mona bring out all kinds of "food", put it on the altar, and then sing and dance around the altar.
"This ceremony to honor the Demon King looks much more formal than in the past." Alice couldn't help but complain, "At least it does look like it's a ceremony, not a eating and drinking convention." β
Alice and the others didn't care about Mona's behavior. After all, Alice and the others are not very capable of commanding those Mona - after all, those Mona are the personal guards of the Demon King! Although there are not many rights, the level in the demon system is frighteningly high.
However, to Alice's surprise, the festival was held for several days in one go, and even when Alice left the Demon King City, the festival was still being held.
