Chapter 3 A Story II
The boy will be king in the end.
This is a quote from a story that the latest marshal of the empire read when he was a teenager, and it was the story of a teenager who grew up to be a king. When he was a teenager, the adult liked the story so much that he always fantasized that one day he would be able to become a king like the boy.
However, as he grew older, after learning the reality of those so-called adults, especially knowing that it is absolutely impossible to become a prince without blood and background, let alone become a king, his past dreams were abandoned in the wastebasket, and he longed to become a marshal.
And he didn't expect that his new dream would actually become a reality, he became the latest marshal of the empire, and the most legendary marshal in the history of the empire, from a miscellaneous fish with nothing, to a marshal, and at the same time, the dream he discarded also had the possibility of becoming a reality.
Although that king needs to be preceded by a "demon" modifier.
The centuries-old war between the empire and the monsters is not only about killing each other, but also about understanding each other, just like the kind of history books that wipe out countless flesh and blood so that future generations can easily read it, "war promotes the integration of the two sides".
The empire learns the root of everything, the demonic energy, and regardless of the name given by this researcher who is a lover of secondary novels, he focuses on the results. Demonic energy will erode everything and make those things that are eroded conform to their own state, a state of chaos.
That's right, even if it seems that those corrupted guys seem to have civilization at the moment, the essence of those chaos will not change, now it is just because those corrupted individuals, after the dark side of their bodies is stimulated, for the sake of chaos, they retain the side of the past order, and over time, their reason will eventually disappear and completely become a bunch of crazy people.
And that's what this plan is now possible.
Demonic energy pursues chaos, not destruction, that is, if a person who is originally upright and kind is injected with all kinds of evils and is regarded as the culprit of all evils in the world, then he is actually a state of chaos, and the erosion of demonic energy on him will slow down.
The former can be found, the latter can be done, and even before the latter transforms, there are people who have adapted to the demonic energy.
The former fits, and the best person to adapt to the demonic energy is the adult, who personally agreed to the plan, and was sent to the Imperial Imperial Academy of Sciences (new), where he underwent transformation.
12 pure maidens committed suicide and used their blood and souls to form a desecration circle, and 36 elven mages sacrificed a branch of the World Tree with their lives, completing the desecration of life.
Then came the 12 former justices of the Empire, who at the same time tore up the code they had been carrying, sprinkled the code on the body of the lord, and turned their own blood into flames, completing the desecration of order.
The sacrifice was still going on, and peasants, workers, merchants, poets, prodigal sons, officials, including humans, animals, plants, microorganisms, organic matter, inorganic matter, all kinds of sacrifices entered the arena one after another, and completed the desecration with their own lives.
In the end, all the blood, all the flesh turned into black runes, like chains wrapped around the body of the adult, it was extreme pain, using different kinds of blasphemy, and finally formed a chain of evil, forcibly turning a certain existence into all evil, and to bear this means to bear all evil.
But that alone is not enough, it is too difficult for the human will to survive such suffering, and the current blasphemy is a little close.
When the last emperor of the royal family voluntarily gave his life, the last man came, he was the Supreme Bishop of the Holy See, a great man who had lived for a thousand years, and he would use his life to complete the final step, but before that he could ask a question.
"Kid, are you really ready? You're the perfect fit, but ......"
"Many years ago, I had a dream of becoming a king, and now that dream has come true."
In the end, the lord was wrapped in chains and turned into a black ominous, and after returning to the battlefield, he and the soldiers expelled all the monsters, and even the source of the demonic energy was sealed in his body, and he became the demon king, and together with many corrupted warriors, he established a prison in the wilderness, and guarded there forever.
However, this is only the first half of the story, or the first half that has long been forgotten by many people, and the second half of the story is much worse.
For the sake of symmetry, let's start the story of the second half from a long, long time ago.
A long, long time ago, the people of this land lived peacefully, their lives were happy and ordinary, until that day, the demon king appeared.
No one knows where the Demon King came from, and no one knows why the Demon King came with a powerful army, all they know is that the monsters emerged from the very edge of the world, they were brutal and murderous, they were crazy and bloodthirsty, they took over a part of the country and killed anyone who entered it.
But strangely, the state does not seem to have any intention of solving this problem, although every day the parliament will propose a bill to exterminate the hostile force, but it is basically not able to pass it a few times, and every time the action after passing is a failure, causing a large number of soldiers to be lost there, and this has become the reason for rejecting this plan for a long time afterward.
It's a strange situation, but the real high-ups in the government of this world should know something and think that this situation is normal, so even if this failure has been repeated for countless years, no one has really been held accountable every time, at most someone has died.
So a rumor spread that some people were in league with the demon king and betrayed our world.
The effect of this rumor is not too great, because the birth of the demon king did not hinder the lives of ordinary people much during that time, at most, when the army was defeated, it caused a great impact on public opinion, but the main upper-class people were basically anti-war factions, so politics did not waver.
But secretly some people are taking action, in their own way, to save the world they think should be saved.
There is really no doubt in the previous battles, the defense of the Demon King City is very good, the ground is poisonous juice, the air is poisonous gas, no army there wants to exert its full strength, not to mention the Demon King, according to the record of the only time the Demon King shot, the other party is fierce poison to any creature in this world.
Poisonous gas and poisonous water can be overcome, but as long as it is a creature of this world, it will never be able to defeat that demon king, so they have a plan, a plan to summon a brave man from another world and use that brave man to defeat the demon king.
And this plan became the death knell of the world.
