I'm a little bit cute after transforming.

Inside a meeting room in the Demon King's castle, the acting Demon King Ariel and the Ten Demon Generals sat around a large round table.

Mei began to tell everyone about what happened when Diana came to the human capital.

Fourth Regiment Commander Slotakiv stroked his thick, tied-up beard.

"When I was traveling, I encountered a human with superb swordsmanship. Even at a distance of a hundred meters, he could still cut down his enemies with his sword. If there are no surprises, the sword saint named Yi is his disciple!"

Third Regiment Commander Jer scoffed disdainfully:

"You uncouth fellow, traveling the world? You're just a glutton for human delicacies!"

Slotakiv's face flushed slightly.

"You uncouth beast, you can't even read a few words, yet you dare to mock me!"

Instead of being angry, Jer was rather pleased.

"Who says I can't read! The Demon King said that knowledge is power. I've been studying late into the night and have learned many words. I'm incredibly strong now!"

Several illiterate captains looked at Jel in surprise. Had the Demon King really said something like that? It seems they'll have to learn from him in the future!

Dimitrus adjusted his glasses.

"So, it seems that His Majesty the Demon King has already infiltrated half of the four strongest human forces! It's only a matter of time before he takes control of the human race!"

Upon hearing this, everyone praised Diana's wisdom!

Mei coughed lightly and recounted what had happened to Diana that day, and the meeting room fell silent for a second.

Jer stood up abruptly.

"Then what are we waiting for? The Demon King is going to start a war with the human race!"

Mei rolled her eyes at Jer. She'd just been somewhat impressed with him, but that impression vanished instantly.

"Are you an idiot?! The Demon King has given orders that we are not allowed to initiate a war!"

"What do we do then! We can't let the Demon King fight alone!"

The tenth commander, the headless knight, weakly spoke, holding the severed head in his hand:

"With the Demon Lord's strength, she shouldn't be a problem on her own, right?"

The sixth commander, Priest Gewa, switched the staff in his hand to the other, chuckling to himself.

"In my opinion, Her Majesty the Demon King must have her own plan; she would never act so impulsively!"

Everyone suddenly realized and began to ponder, except for Ariel, who couldn't help but think to herself, 'Isn't she impulsive?! That time I fought her, just because I injured one of her pets, she fought me to the death! She bombarded me with magic all day!'

Demitrus frowned, his brilliant mind racing. 'His Majesty the Demon King's plan!'

Suddenly, Demitrus's eyes lit up! (They really lit up!)

"I see! That's how it is! Your Majesty's wisdom truly puts me to shame!"

"Hahaha~ Brilliant! What a brilliant plan!"

Everyone turned their attention to him, their faces full of doubt. Although they didn't know what his brilliant plan was, it sounded amazing!

Demitrus didn't keep them in suspense and began to explain.

"Humanity may seem united against external forces now, but that's only when they're waging war!"

"Now that peace has arrived, various forces are eager to make their move, and the kingdom has a fatal flaw—class system!"

“There is a huge gap between the resources enjoyed by nobles and commoners. Commoners are exploited to the point of losing all their value, and years of oppression have made them afraid to resist.”

"But—humans are a wondrous race! When overwhelming power forces them to their knees, they dare not resist, simply because they see no hope!"

"If at this moment a ray of light shines upon them! A ray of righteous and powerful light, they will rise again, fight back fiercely, and fear no death!"

Commander Adeline, the Ninth Regiment Commander, shouted excitedly, his eyes filled with admiration.

"So! His Majesty the Demon King is that ray of light!"

Demitrus smiled and nodded.

Jer scratched his head vigorously, feeling like he was growing a brain, but also feeling like he wasn't.

"What light! How did the Demon King become light?!"

Mei looked at Jer as if he were an idiot.

"Someone like you shouldn't be studying! I feel like you're wasting your life!"

Slotakiv inwardly scoffed at Jel, 'Idiot! Even if he didn't know the reason, he shouldn't have blurted it out! I'm definitely smarter than him!'

Jell glanced at the snickering crowd, his face turning red with anger.

"So! What exactly is going on?!"

Mei felt somewhat helpless and had no choice but to explain to him.

"As Demitrus said, the common people are oppressed not because they dare not resist, but because they lack a just and powerful leader!"

"His Majesty the Demon King saving the abducted children is justice! His Majesty the Demon King not fearing the nobles to kill them is power!"

"At a time like this, when a righteous and powerful figure like His Majesty the Demon King steps forward, what will the common people do?"

"Those commoners will all follow the Demon King!"

Mei nodded with satisfaction.

"Although this situation won't happen immediately, it will plant a seed in their hearts—a seed of rebellion! When the time is right, even an ant can shake an elephant!"

Jer looked puzzled again.

"How can an ant possibly defeat an elephant!"

Mei clenched her fist, really wanting to punch this big idiot. Trying to reason with him was like casting pearls before swine!

Demitrus coughed lightly.

"Mei! You just said that His Majesty the Demon King asked you for some information about the inner city? You don't think it's just a simple request for information, do you?"

Her pupils contracted.

"Does His Majesty the Demon King have some other instructions?!"

Demitrus sneered.

"Foolish! His Majesty the Demon King foresaw this outcome the moment he ordered a cessation of the war! Do you really think His Majesty the Demon King was simply asking you for some information?!"

Cold sweat poured down Mei's forehead; she simply couldn't fathom what the Demon King was implying!

"His Majesty the Demon King knows that you can quickly obtain information about the inner city. He must already know that you have placed a large number of your people in the capital!"

"His Majesty the Demon King is asking you for information at this time, presumably because he wants you to spread the news of what's about to happen throughout the entire capital! This will lay the foundation for unifying the human race!"

Mei's heart trembled violently! 'If it weren't for Demetrius's reminder, I would have delayed His Majesty the Demon King's plans! How foolish I was!'

"Hmph! Even I cannot fathom the full extent of His Majesty the Demon King's intentions! Do not interpret His Majesty the Demon King's orders superficially; try to understand them from a longer-term perspective!"

Mei appeared to be humbly accepting instruction, and the other guild leaders nodded thoughtfully as well.

Ariel calmly looked at Mei, 'Why does this feel so out of place?'

"Charm! Carry out the Demon King's plan!"

"Yes!"

Ariel glanced at the group again, who had nothing to add.

"Carry out the Demon King's orders diligently, then wait for her return! Dismissed!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed in unison.
