At this time, they were on a plain three kilometers away from the Demon King's Castle.

The knight captain of the human legion sat on horseback and led fifteen soldiers into the Demon King's Castle.

When they arrived here, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and there was a kind of calm before the storm, as if a downpour would fall at any time.

"We are now at the outskirts of the Demon King's Castle. Please be prepared, as we are about to enter the demonic territory."

"Wait a minute, Captain."

At this time, the young hunter interrupted.

"Brest, do you have any questions?"

"Captain, at this point, we all have no objections. You and I both know the strength of the Demon King. To rashly enter the Demonic Territory is undoubtedly like walking into a tiger's mouth."

"You see, the atmosphere is a little too quiet..."

The knight captain turned his head and looked at the forest not far away, but there was not even a bird flying out.

"Miss Priestess, what's the status of the armistice agreement?"

A young blonde girl in a white robe and holding a scepter came up.

Her appearance is both noble and holy, like a devout believer, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and skin whiter than snow.

"I have placed my trust in the messenger birds of nature. Normally, I should get a reply within an hour."

"But... there has been no response until now."

Hunter Brest stared at the dark sky and thought for a while.

"Could it be that the Demon King doesn't want to stop the war at all?"

"According to the brief description given by His Highness, Beelzebub is a demon king who is tough on the outside but gentle on the inside."

"During the time that His Highness was captured, the Demon King unexpectedly chose to release His Highness unconditionally."

"And the purpose of our coming here is not only to express our gratitude in the name of the king, but also to declare a truce and join forces with us to fight against the Inquisitor."

Brest understood that this was simply a pipe dream.

The Demon King's history of existence is much longer than that of the human race. Since he has not received a response yet, he thinks he must be denied and sent back.

But the knight captain was very stubborn. After all, this was the king's order and there was no room for refusal.

"That king must be crazy. For such a big matter, why didn't he come here in person but had to send an ordinary mercenary group?"

Brest is the most sober one in the team, and he and the priestess are teammates.

Her name is Lana. She is a believer of a certain god, proficient in some fairy arts, and is also a follower of one of the seven angels.

It can provide buffs and healing effects to the team, and can also use magic to dispel negative effects.

Walker, the captain of the Rhine Knights, is a man of character, speaks very bluntly, and is also very stern. He leads the soldiers who are about to become knights to carry out a mission in the Demon King's Castle.

While Brest was still proposing, the hunter's intuition was instantly triggered.

"somebody is coming!"

His eyes were sharp, and he sensed the other party's murderous intent, so he pulled the bowstring and took aim.

A petite white-haired loli with animal ears appeared in front of the public. She walked step by step with her eyes closed, her steps light and her movements graceful.

"That is......"

Lana took a closer look and discovered that the other party had physical characteristics different from humans, especially the ears and tail, which were soft and smooth, which made her feel shaken.

"It's actually an orc, and it's so cute?"

"Wait a minute, Lana, look closely at what she's wearing."

Ye Xi began to face everyone directly, his eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples, it was a look as if he was looking at garbage.

Under the black windbreaker is a clean white shirt and a neat tie. Under the wrinkled pleated skirt are a pair of soft and smooth white legs wearing a pair of sneakers, stepping on this marginal land.

The white hair touching the popliteal fossa was gently lifted by the breeze, and her temperament was cold and beautiful, as if she was a flower on the top of a mountain that could not be approached.

"Kid?" Walker asked doubtfully.

At this distance, Ye Xi's ears twitched, as if he had heard what had just been said.

"This aura is not right, Captain. There's an orc coming along the way. We must be careful."

Walker nodded, accidentally noticing that Lana's expression was a little subtle.

"Miss Priest, what do you think about this?"

"Well... the beastmen usually collude with the demons, but the child before me is clearly a demihuman, or perhaps a human transformed from a beastman?"

Lana really wanted to judge what kind of animal Ye Xi was by his appearance. His ears looked like fox ears, but his tail was covered by his windbreaker, so she couldn't tell.

"I need to get closer."

As she spoke, Lana began to approach Yexi. Brest was about to reach out to stop her, but then he remembered that Lana liked to touch furry things, so he gave up.

When Lana came in front of Ye Xi, her face flushed slightly, and her thin figure just covered Ye Xi's entire body.

"Hello, cute little demi-human."

Lana lifted her white robe, squatted in front of Ye Xi, and looked at him with a friendly smile.

In order not to scare himself, he even put down the scepter. This unguarded look made Ye Xi raise an eyebrow.

"Excuse me, what are you doing here?"

Facing Lana's question, Ye Xi ignored it and cast a cold gaze at the people behind her.

Lana followed Ye Xi's gaze, but this action made her regret it instantly.

Ye Xi quickly snatched Lana's scepter and then distanced herself from him.

"alert!"

When Walker saw this, he immediately gave the order to be on alert. Lana didn't even have time to react before she was pulled back by Brest.

"Are you OK?"

"Brest? What just happened?"

"Why are they all rushing up?"

Under Walker's command, the soldiers of the army stepped forward to protect the priest. As an important core figure, he must not be allowed to be harmed.

Ye Xi snatched the priest's scepter, and in doing so, they lost their benefits.

"I seem to have overestimated you." Ye Xi threw the scepter on the ground, then slowly walked up.

"Who is coming?"

"You want me to give my name? Do you think you are qualified?"

Ye Xi's bad tone made everyone shudder. Lana was supported by Brest. When she reacted, she found that the scepter was gone.

"Ah, my scepter!"

"I've told you to be careful. No matter how much you like furry things, you have to stay rational!"

Ye Xi stood there quietly, looking at the slow-reacting priest, who was just like a little child, a little naive.

"I am the Demon King's Castle, but I want to remind everyone here."

"Let's stop here. The Demon King is not someone you can handle."

"If you insist on going, I guarantee you won't survive today."

Ye Xi's eyes were firm, and he tried to persuade them to retreat through communication.

"So far, what are you saying? Are you asking us to just go back now?"

"Well, since you have this self-awareness, please go back."

Walker naturally would not agree. After all, in his eyes, the appearance of this little guy was really inexplicable.

It's really suspicious that things got tense right from the start.

"If you are one of the Devil's men, then please trust us, as we have already sent a letter to Beelzebub."

"Calculating the time, it should have been delivered."

Ye Xi was stunned when he heard this.

"A letter? What kind of letter could it be?"

"You misunderstood. I am not a subordinate of the Demon King."

"Only one who is both good and evil..."

Ye Xi pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and spoke slowly.

"madman."
