Chapter 1: The Fallen Demon King (I)

Demon King City Leviathan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is the largest city in the entire Demon Realm, surrounded by triple walls. As the first political and military center of the Demon Realm, Leviathan's existence represents the Demon Realm, and if Leviathan does not die, the Demon Realm will never die. The so-called eradication war launched by the Heavenly Realm against the Demon Realm five hundred years ago was ultimately declared a failure because it was unable to attack the Leviathan. Not only are there millions of elite soldiers of the Demon Realm stationed here, but it also has the assistance of the strongest clan in the Demon Realm, the Demon Dragon.

A long time ago, the Demon Dragons were an independent race, living in a place called the Demon Dragon Valley on the Western Continent of the Demon Realm. As the strongest race in the Demon Realm with comprehensive strength, no one dared to fight their idea at all, otherwise what they got would likely be a catastrophe. But a thousand years ago, a demon king came to the door like this, demanding that the demon dragon clan submit to the Ektros family, that is, the successive demon kings. The Demon Dragon Clan naturally wouldn't agree, so a week-long fierce battle took place in the Demon Dragon Valley, and explosions could be heard from a hundred kilometers away. No one knows the final result, but there is only one thing to be sure, the Demon Dragons later declared their allegiance to the Exetros family, as one of the strongest hole cards in the Demon King's hand, and the most elite mercenaries.

And in the center of Leviathan, on top of a 10,000-meter-high mountain, stands a castle. The owner of this castle is the representative of the whole demon world, and the only one that all demons look up to is the demon king. The demon world is divided into five continents, four in the east, west, north and south, and the central continent in the center, each continent is separated by the endless sea, and each continent has its own demon king to manage, for example, the western continent is the western demon king, the eastern continent is the eastern demon king, and only the central continent is under the full jurisdiction of the demon king. The current Demon King, Lancelot Ektros, was appointed in a critical position after the death of the previous Demon King twenty-three years ago, and it would not have been his turn according to the normal inheritance relationship. But judging from the twenty-three years of the Demon King's resume, as the youngest Demon King in history, Lancelot is very successful. If he hadn't been ordered in a desperate situation, and the wrong decisions he had made before, he wouldn't have had the consequences he has now.

The rebels have intensified their offensive and have already reached the foot of the hill and are heading towards the top of the mountain. Looking out of the window of the Demon King's bedroom in the palace, Leviathan was in a cloud of black smoke, and the triple city wall in the distance had long been submerged among the demon soldiers. There are too many people, there are too many. Ten times the advantage of troops, raising the troops of the entire Demon Realm, this is more than a little stronger than the attack of the Heavenly Realm five hundred years ago, and it is normal that it cannot be stopped.

"Your Majesty!" Lisa, the head maid, rushed in, "We ......"

She shut up. Leaning against the window, Lancelot was looking into the smoke-filled distance, his eyes full of desolation, no different from those of those who had lost their country, the eyes of complete despair and death. Although she didn't want to say this, Lisa also knew in her heart that Lancelot had already lost this war, and she had lost it completely......

In fact, it was an accident that Lancelot became the Demon King, and when the previous Demon King died, several of his older brothers were leading expeditions to suppress small but organized riots in various places. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is with this concept in mind that Lancelot became the new demon king in the election of the Senate. But if it's just that, forget it, but at that time, Lancelot swore at the oath ceremony that he was only acting as the demon king, and when his brothers and adults returned, he would definitely give up the throne.

Eighteen years later, Lancelot's brothers returned triumphantly. Originally, according to common sense, Lancelot should have abdicated honestly, so that he could also get the position of the demon king. But at this time, his heart changed, and he didn't want to give up the throne. Originally, the brothers thought that Lancelot was purely psychological, and there was no way to get rid of the interference of the throne so quickly. But they soon found out that they were wrong, and Lancelot really couldn't get rid of the interference of the throne so quickly, but he was at ease, and he was not thinking about how to return the throne. And this is also the fuse of this rebellion.

At first, after learning that his brothers had rebelled, Lancelot was still very unimpressed, after all, he was the king of the demon world, how could a mere rebellion threaten his position? After leading troops to fight for a long time, the brothers have almost mastered more than 80% of the military power in the Demon Realm, not to mention that their reason for starting the army is extremely justified: to regain the throne that should belong to them. As a result, only a few days after the war began, many places had already announced their response to the rebels of their brothers, and in more than two years, they swept across the entire Demon Continent, raising tens of millions of soldiers to the city and besieging Leviathan.

Until this time, Lancelot still believed that with the defenders of the Leviathan and the impregnable triple wall, he could withstand the attack of tens of millions of rebels. He brought in all the reinforcements he could find, including the Dragons. But it turned out that this was not going to happen. A demon dragon is invincible in a single head-to-head, and it is no problem to pick a hundred, even if you are asked to fight a thousand and a thousand, is it possible that you can still fight a hundred thousand? Not to mention that the number of demon dragon clans is already scarce, only in their early hundreds, and there are only the patriarch of the demon dragon clan, Konstantin, and more than twenty adult dragons, which is extremely small compared to the army of tens of millions. As the defenders suffered more and more heavy losses, Lancelot realized that he had no hope of turning the tables in this war. And the final blow to him was the rebellion of the Senate. They joined forces and brought in the rebels, killing all of Lancelot's supporters, the defenders of the city, and speeding up the fall of Leviathan by at least ten times.

"Lisa, is that you?" it was only then that Lancelot reacted.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ā€

"Is there any bad news again?" At this time, his voice became calmer.

ā€œ...... Yes, Your Majesty. Patriarch Konstantin, who has died at the foot of the mountain, the few remaining demon dragons, please return to the Demon Dragon Valley with the corpse of the patriarch, let me ask your majesty your opinion......"

"Konstantin...... Is he also dead in battle......" Sighing softly, Lancelot walked over to the shelf with the magic sword, reaching out and stroking the peerless artifact representing the king of the demon world, "Let them go, they have already sacrificed too many lives for me, and they don't need to hold on to this meaningless castle anymore." ā€

"Yes. Just as Lisa was about to turn away, Lancelot suddenly stopped her again: "Wait a minute!"

"What's the matter, Your Majesty...... Before Lisa could react, Lancelot came up to her and touched her head, causing her little face to turn red at once.

"Are the guards still there?"

"Still, Your Majesty, a total of 100 people are all at your disposal, and they swear to fight for Your Majesty until the last moment......"

"Let them withdraw, and you. ā€

"What?" Lisa thought she had misheard.

"I said, let them withdraw, don't stay here any longer and die, what can a hundred people do? Even if they are all the best of the best. Lancelot repeated.

"But, Your Majesty, how could we leave you alone here......!

"Remember my sister Aniah?" Lancelot said, staring into Lisa's eyes, "she is innocent and cannot be swept up in the turmoil of war and become a victim of politics." I want you to take the guards to protect Ania from Leviathan, run as far as you can, run to a safe place to live. If I hadn't died, I'd have gone to find you!"

"But ......"

"Brother, it's so loud outside, what's going on?" At this moment, a young girl suddenly appeared at the door, looking at Lancelot and Lisa in front of her with some confusion.

"Aniah, haven't you always wanted to hang out?"

"Yes!" Ania nodded excitedly.

"Then I'll let Sister Lisa take you out now, okay?"

"Now, wait, won't you go, brother?"

"I—I'm going to stay and take care of something! Next time, I'll hang out with Ania next time, okay?" said Lancelot with a big smile, the first time Lisa had seen him smile from the bottom of his heart since the siege began.

"Good!" Ania seemed to have believed, thanks to Lancelot's information blockade on her.

"Lisa, I'll leave my sister to you, no problem, right?"

"Leave it to me, Your Majesty, as long as we are alive, we will not let anyone touch a single hair of Her Highness Aniah!"

"Please!"

After seeing Lisa leave with Ania, Lancelot put away his smile, picked up the magic sword on the shelf on the side, and put on his armor: "Okay, brother, next, it's our turn to settle accounts......"
