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

"The Kingdom of Demiller..."

The Kingdom of Demirer borders the Kingdom of Olmec. Gray was originally located in the border area of ​​the Kingdom of Olmec. Although it was a cross-border area, the journey was not far.

There is one problem.

The Kingdom of Demiller is not a human nation, but a nation of demi-humans.

Having lived in this other world for so many years, Gray has always stayed in Olmec, a human country, and he really wants to visit the countries of other races.

However, since the disappearance of the demon race, humanity has developed to the present day, relying on its strong national power to bully other races and kingdoms, especially the Olmec Kingdom.

More than a decade ago, the Kingdom of Olmec and the Kingdom of Saint-Tian, ​​an elven kingdom, initiated a marriage alliance between their respective princes and princesses: Prince Elvins Ravenhill of the Kingdom of Olmec and Princess Ivy Wendy of the Kingdom of Saint-Tian.

Princess Ivy Wendy is said to be an exceptionally beautiful woman, and Prince Alvins is very much looking forward to this marriage.

On the very day the marriage was to be fulfilled, Princess Ivy Wendy ran away, which was undoubtedly a great insult to the Olmec Kingdom.

Whether the elven princess truly escaped or it was merely an act by the elven king who didn't want to marry off his daughter, it was none of the Oolmec Kingdom's business anymore.

The Olmec Kingdom immediately dispatched troops to attack the Saint-Tian Kingdom, determined to make these long-eared forest people feel the wrath of humanity.

The battle ultimately ended with the Kingdom of Saint-Ion being forced to cede territory and pay reparations.

Because of this battle, the relationship between humans and elves remains very strained to this day.

This is just the conflict between humans and elves.

The Kingdom of Olmec and the Kingdom of Demiller did not have any direct military conflict, but...

Human slave-hunting teams frequently smuggled themselves into the lands of beastmen and demi-humans, capturing their inhabitants and selling them off with slave collars.

Orcs and demi-humans were the most common commodities traded by slave traders, who would occasionally capture elves to be enslaved.

In other words, it's a miracle that humans haven't formed an alliance to attack all the major races, given that they've offended so many.

But in the Kingdom of Demirer, humans are universally hated, so if Gray wants to go there, he'll probably have to smuggle himself across like a slave-catching team.

Wait a minute, Gray is a demon!

Unfortunately, he was human in his past life and was adopted by a human nobleman in this life, which makes it easy for Gray to overlook the fact that he is a demon.

Then there's no problem. As long as the demon horns on your head are restored, you can move freely in the Kingdom of Demir.

However, Gray was not used to having two heavy things on his head, and it was not a good idea for Gray to act in the Kingdom of Demir as a demon.

Although it is in the land of demi-humans, there is a high probability that there are human informants present.

The conflict between humans and demons, who are mortal enemies, cannot be resolved by the demons hiding for decades.

Gray received a report from Alpha that the Church of Holy Light is still sending people to search for traces of the demons.

That's really troublesome.

Forget it, I'll just wear that black robe. Anyway, the existence of cognitive barriers won't cause any conflict with the demi-humans.

After considering all this, Gray still planned to go to the Kingdom of Demir to support Zeta the dog.

“The situation is quite urgent, I’ll set off today,” Gray muttered to himself, but Delta protested strongly upon hearing this.

"No rush, Lord Shadow, why don't you stay with me for a few days?" The blonde, mature vampire said, trying to persuade her to stay.

Gray planned to set off immediately because he knew Zeta's temperament well; her servants wouldn't be able to hold her back for long, so he decided to meet her in Howling Town before she rushed off.

“Zeta won’t be able to stay long, so I won’t stay here any longer,” Gray politely declined Delta’s offer.

Instantly, Number 0211 felt the Yin energy around him return to normal, even stronger than before.

For the sake of his own life, Number 0211 hurriedly spoke up: "Lord Shadow Demon, Lord Zeta's lack of manpower means that he is not enough to completely wipe out those cultists. He is requesting support to prevent any from escaping and causing them to return to the mountains."

Now the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. They don't know that we have discovered their base. Moreover, the gatherings there are held regularly, so the situation is not actually that urgent.

The only question is how long they can hold onto Lady Zeta.

As soon as she finished speaking, Delta's eyes lit up, and she eagerly said, "That's not a problem. Go and send a message over there. Lord Shadow will go and join them in the annihilation operation. That little dog can definitely wait."

amount……

Gray lowered his head in thought.

So it doesn't seem that urgent, and Delta can tell that she really wants me to stay a few more days...

"Okay, I'll go again in a few days."

Delta's face lit up with joy, and No. 0211 also breathed a sigh of relief.

The emergency rescue was successful! His life has been saved.

—————————————————————

In the dimly lit basement, members of the cult of demons sat around an ancient stone table. Candlelight flickered, casting distorted shadows, and a faint smell of sulfur filled the air.

A gray-robed man with a sinister face was listening to his subordinate's report.

"Your Excellency, the hero has appeared."

The gray-robed cultist handed a form to the sinister-looking man. Upon seeing the words on the form, the man raised an eyebrow.

"Philippa Ravenhill? That princess?"

The black and white image magically engraved on the watch proved Princess Philippa's identity, and that she was not some famous person.

However, the Kingdom of Olmec also has a rule that one cannot share a name with a member of the royal family.

The sinister-looking man suddenly froze.

The hero has appeared, but where is the Demon King? Is he hiding?

Philippa is definitely a genuine hero; the mark on her wrist can't be faked.

It's good that the Demon King has gone into hiding; at least the conflict between humans and demons won't affect us.

"Your Excellency, this hero has been relentlessly pursuing our order, and all factions within the order, including ourselves, have been affected. Should we..."

The sinister-looking man waved his hand.

"It's our consensus not to attack the incumbent hero. She attacked us because she couldn't find the Demon King she was tasked with killing. We'll send some people to search for the demons and subtly reveal the information to her."

"Yes!"

The sinister-looking man had a headache.

Princess Philippa, who is also a hero, has a strong sense of justice and is the most troublesome type of hero.

We certainly won't be able to find any trace of the demons in a short time, so until we do, we can only let the believers hide.

They cannot kill the incumbent hero; at most, they can only act after the hero has killed the Demon King and lost his hero status.

Otherwise, if a hero dies and a new hero with protection appears, it will be more troublesome, and it will also attract their attention.

"By the way, that old guy Reginald has been looking for her. Just let him know."
