The Hero in Exile

Lingyu, who had been in the demon clan for more than half a year, almost a year, suddenly discovered that there were strange decorations on the streets outside.

When Lingyu has nothing to do, he likes to lie on the fence and observe below, and then wait for Moran to finish work and come to play with him.

Strips of various colors were hung on the eaves, and fruit and snack shops also packaged their goods.

The streets are indescribably full of vitality.

Especially in bars, the number of people going there has skyrocketed during this period. Not only do they drink, but they also buy a lot to take away. Are they going to drink themselves to death at home?

In the past few months, in addition to the rapid development and huge changes in the town, another major change is...

Humans appeared in the Demon Empire!

Yes, there are still quite a few from the Empire, and no conflicts have occurred during this period under the mediation of Moran and Bourne.

As for how the Imperials could be here, the story started a few months ago.

On a dark and windy night, several small boats landed on the beach of the Demon Empire under the moonlight.

Naturally, their different appearances were quickly discovered by the demons. At first, they were thought to be assassins sent by the empire, but they were found to be in rags, carrying only dry food and fresh water.

When asked what they were doing, they said they were looking for Bourne.

Born was naturally confused as well. He had never seen such a situation in the more than one year since he came to the Demon Tribe.

Later, we learned that they had learned about the current situation of the empire from different places. They did not want to see the great empire become a puppet of the church, so they sneaked into the Demon Empire and wanted to join Born's army, the only force still resisting.

Later we learned that Lionheart and the dwarves could not use military force directly against the church without evidence, but they could still use this little trick.

Even though the church has a severe information blockade, there is no wall that is impenetrable.

"You mean you want to join me and trust a traitor like me."

Born looked at these weathered young men who dared to come to the sea where even warships had difficulty sailing with only dry food and a passion for blood.

"General Born, we never believed that you betrayed the Empire. Your heroic deeds are still praised by travelers. One day, the wind of history will blow away the stigma on you, so please bring us back to find the honor of the Empire!"

More than twenty young people looked at Born with hope in their eyes.

"Oh my god this is a miracle."

Born could no longer suppress his emotions, and tears rolled down his weathered face.

"General..."

"Alright guys, I don't care what you did before. Now you are the empire and my warriors. I will train you like cattle and horses until you become qualified warriors!"

"Yes, I will obey your orders!"

At this moment, more than twenty young soldiers stood straight with their thin bodies and saluted Bourne solemnly.

Lionheart and the dwarves were also deeply shocked when they learned about this, and said that they only wanted to do ideological work first.

It will be easier to take over the captured cities at that time. I didn’t expect that there are still brave people in the empire who remain sober after so many years of brainwashing by the church.

After that, the actions of these young people were like a spark that ignited a fire, and more and more people crossed over without fear of the sea.

Among them, the Lionheart Dwarf Kingdom sent people to escort and protect them to the Demon Empire. The soldiers who did not carry any identification had a silent battle with the church's pursuing troops on the sea.

In the past few months, the army has grown to about 4,000 people, and under Bourne's training, they have all become powerful warriors.

However, since there is still a long way to go before the war, let them integrate into the local community first and only need occasional training.

Lingyu expressed her opinion when she learned that Bourne had already expanded its staff to such a large scale.

Reiyu, who recalled some events from her past life, expressed her opinion.

"Why don't you establish a free imperial government, which will encourage more imperial people to rebel."

Born shook his head.

"It doesn't have to be that there is only one empire. Even if I go back, the emperor will still be Ryan. My old friend, he is just controlled by the church."

As Bowen spoke, his expression was a little sad, and Lingyu did not mention the matter.

The imperial people who escaped also brought news.

The church has almost total control over the empire. There are church people everywhere monitoring people's words and deeds, and the paladins have also taken over the army.

The current emperor Ryan Defes is in name only.

……

"Lingyu, what are you looking at? You're just standing there in a daze."

Moran's voice brought Lingyu, who was still reminiscing, back to reality.

"Is there some kind of festival here? It's so lively down there."

"This is Yuqing. In the last few days of each year, everyone will get together to eat, set off fireworks to wish for a good start in the new year, and then drink a lot of wine until they are drunk and forget all the hardships of the previous year."

“Isn’t this the Spring Festival?”

"The Spring Festival, your festival?"

As long as Moran heard the words she had never heard before from Lingyu, she knew it was from her original world.

"Well, it's similar to yours, but..."

Lingyu recalled the days when she lived with her uncle and aunt. The food there was a little better during the Spring Festival, and as for how others celebrated it, she only saw it on the Internet.

Moran noticed that Lingyu's mood had changed for the better.

A big hand was placed on Lingyu's head and began to rub it, and at the same time, it made the castrated hair stand up again.

"Lingyu, can you spend this year's Yuqing with me? I will have a few days off during this holiday, and I hope to leave you with unforgettable memories."

Lingyu looked at the boy who was trying to be in a better mood. His words and actions went deep into his heart and illuminated the cold.

It seemed that his Spring Festival was given meaning.

The aho-hair on his head is full of energy.

"Since you've said that, I can't refuse. You must let me experience it well or I'll be angry."

"Of course, my love."

"Ah, this is disgusting, stop talking about this, it's not suitable for you, the demon king, to be so disgusting."

"Oh, I just want to try it."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
