The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Lord Mordrean Rusev of the Nightfall Lord stood on the high wall, gazing at the battle below.

This beast tide is very strange.

Previous beast tides were small in scale and occurred only once every long period of time; a small beast tide had just occurred a few days ago.

Moreover, although this beast tide is large in scale, it is no more difficult to resist than previous beast tides.

Because the beast tide consisted entirely of low-level monsters, none of them were monsters that required multiple adventurers to work together to deal with.

Although the principle behind the regular occurrence of beast tides is still not fully understood, based on past patterns...

There are too many strange things about this beast tide.

Faced with the crisis of the beast tide, adventurers are able to unleash their full potential.

On the one hand, it is because of the danger of resisting the beast tide; a slight carelessness could lead to death.

On the other hand, it was for the spoils of war after resisting the beast tide.

Normally, when adventurers venture deep into the Shadow Forest to hunt monsters, they bring back very little loot.

Since it's impossible to drag back a complete monster corpse, adventurers often choose to cut off the most valuable parts of the body and bring them back to deliver.

But the beast tide is different. The monster corpses are only separated from the Adventurers' Guild by a city wall, so it doesn't take too much effort to transport the complete monster corpses back.

Of course, the beast tide will cause a large number of monster corpses to pile up at the city gate.

The distribution of spoils and maintaining order when transporting large quantities of spoils are the problems that will give the lord a headache.

Adventurers only need to fight bravely, but lords have many more things to consider.

Damn it, why is Ming Shi still chasing me?

Among the adventurers fighting beneath the city walls, Philippa stood out.

On the battlefield beneath the city walls, Philippa, clad in light armor, moved with the grace of a dancer twirling on a sword's tip. Her armor, crafted from the finest metal, shimmered with a silvery light, making her appear like an elf bathed in moonlight.

Her sword danced among her fair, delicate hands, its blade gleaming coldly in the sunlight. The hilt was inlaid with jewels, each swing accompanied by a flash of light, like a star shining brightly on the battlefield.

Philippa's movements were light and graceful; her body leaned slightly forward, her arms tracing beautiful arcs in the air. Her steps were steady and light, each one precise and powerful.

This breathtakingly beautiful scene was, in the eyes of hostile demons, like a vengeful ghost seeking death.

Under her elegant and graceful swordplay, the corpses of demons fell to the ground, unable to rise again.

Her sword was of a very high quality; it was not only extremely sharp, but also capable of holding a large amount of magic power and was immune to blood.

Perhaps out of aversion to the smell of blood, or perhaps because she didn't want to be covered in blood after a battle, Philippa's weapons and armor were all custom-made by a master blacksmith to prevent them from getting stained with blood.

The form-fitting light armor she wore was not simply about showing off the graceful curves of a young girl's body.

Ordinary armor increases the wearer's load, thereby enhancing their defensive capabilities.

Philippa's light armor was made of a rare magical metal, giving it a light and magical quality.

This light armor not only provides defense, but also makes the wearer move more gracefully.

Goodness, wearing light armor makes him more agile than when he wasn't wearing it?

Philippa's outfit is worth an astronomical sum.

As expected of a princess of the kingdom, her lifestyle is truly extravagant to the extreme.

Philippa didn't know the specific value of these items, only that they were strangely useful.

Even if she knew the exact price, having grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, she had no concept of money.

Why does Philippa, a noble princess, possess a set of expensive adventurer equipment?

Perhaps because Philippa was the only princess of the Olmec Kingdom (all the other offspring were male), the Olmec king doted on his daughter.

The king was very generous to Philippa, granting her every request.

When Philippa listened to the adventurer's fairy tale and showed a look of longing, the king immediately spent a huge sum of money to make such a set of equipment for Philippa.

However, the equipment was only made for Philippa to use as toys. The king protected Philippa very closely, and she was always accompanied by maids and guards to prevent any possible danger.

The king forbade Philippa from going out alone, and naturally, he would never agree to Philippa becoming a high-risk adventurer.

Feeling stifled in the palace, Philippa longed to shake off her maids and guards and explore the outside world on her own.

Being chosen as the hero served as a catalyst, further solidifying Philippa's determination to leave.

Before leaving, Philippa left only a letter, not daring to tell her father that she had become a hero.

Otherwise, her father would definitely keep a stricter watch on her, and then it would be difficult for her to escape.

So she left all her thoughts in that letter, including her ambition to become a hero.

As Philippa had expected, after reading the letter she left behind, the king immediately sent guards to search for her everywhere. Luckily, Philippa ran fast, or she would have been caught and taken back long ago.

Her outstanding performance in this beast tide proved that Philipak was not just a pretty face who yearned for the outside world but lacked ability; she proved herself qualified to be a hero.

Lord Mordrein, who was watching from the city wall, noticed the stunningly beautiful young woman and exclaimed, "Whose general is this? She is so brave!"

However, the real contradictions are far from being fully revealed.

—————————————————————

Reginald's heart remained unsettled for a long time after reading Philippa's letter.

He sighed deeply.

This supreme ruler of the Olmec Kingdom was no longer as majestic as before; his white beard only highlighted his old age and frailty.

Reginald is in relatively good health, so his pale complexion is not due to illness.

Reginald's haggard appearance was not because of Philippa's escape, but because Philippa had been chosen as the hero.

If a hero has appeared, then the Demon King must have been born many years ago.

The demon race is already facing a life-or-death crisis, but the appearance of the Demon King will lead the demon race to develop, and humanity will be gradually suppressed.

Then a hero appears with the mission of defeating the Demon King, and leads humanity back to its former prosperity.

In the past, heroes only appeared when the Demon King led the demon race to launch a massive attack on humanity.

The Demon King has yet to appear, which suggests something unusual may be about to happen.

But why was it Philippa who became the hero?

As a member of the Olmec royal family, he knew some secrets.

About the secrets of this world.

"That's all, let's take it one step at a time."

Reginald sighed again and looked into the distant clouds.
