From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

At this point, there is nothing more to say. Without being aware of the existence of Altria and Meli, it is obvious that two demon kings/military cadres cannot cause any waves.

After all, even if all the cadres that the Demon King/Army could mobilize under normal circumstances were to join forces, they would only be beaten by Artoria. Letting two Demon King/Army cadres come to Axel to intercept Anshu's team... I believe their expressions will be very interesting after they discover the actual situation.

Chapter 227: Demon King Army Cadre: Can we reconcile?

After knowing that the Demon King/military cadres would arrive early, An Xiu no longer had any intention of leaving Suqing's world.

In this way, several days passed.

On this day, an alarm suddenly sounded in the city of Axel.

"Emergency broadcast! Emergency broadcast! Attention all adventurers, please prepare for battle immediately and gather at the town gate in a fighting stance!"

As the Adventurer's Guild's alarm spread throughout Axel, many adventurers gathered in front of the main gate of Axel's town to confront the monster army that had besieged the entire city outside and a terrifying monster that exuded a terrifying aura.

Of course, it might not be accurate to call it a confrontation. After all, most adventurers froze when they saw that figure. They didn't even need to fight. Just one look was enough for all the adventurers present to know that it was definitely not an opponent they could defeat.

The Headless Knight Beldia, one of the major cadres of the Demon King's army, possesses extremely rich combat skills and superb swordsmanship. As an undead, he has endless physical strength and strong magic resistance. At the same time, he masters the instant death curse ability called Death Declaration. Even if he encounters a strong enemy, he can use the curse to eliminate it regularly.

It could be said that even among all the Demon Lords/military cadres, Beldia was one of those beings with almost no weaknesses. In theory, he was a terrifying enemy that should never appear in the novice city of Axel.

But Beldia not only appeared here, but also led a legion of monsters to surround the entire city, as if he wanted to catch everyone in one fell swoop.

"My name is Beldia, Demon King/Military Officer. My purpose for coming here is very simple..."

In front of the main gate of Axel City, a knight in black armor held his own head in his hands and slowly spoke under the gaze of all the adventurers in the city.

"I am here under the orders of the Demon Lord to destroy the hero in the prophecy. If you hand over the hero and his team members, I will promise not to harm anyone else in this city, and I can also lead my men away."

"Well, brave man, you don't want to see the people of this city being massacred by my army, right? If you don't want to see this happen, then stand up!"

Beldia, who was standing outside the city, spoke unscrupulously, not taking anyone seriously at all.

After all, he is a demon king/military cadre. Does he need to be cautious when coming to such a city of novice adventurers?

Just kidding, even though he was the target of Beldia's trip, the brave man in the prophecy, Beldia didn't take him seriously at the moment.

It's not that it questions the Demon King's decision. In fact, Beldia is very supportive of the order to strangle the hero.

After all, there is already a monster among the royal family of the ancient Kingdom of Belzer. If a brave man appears who is predicted to lead everyone to defeat them, the Demon King’s army will probably have trouble surviving.

But the problem is, even if he becomes stronger in the future, the hero is still just a novice adventurer. Even if he can destroy a high-level demon with his companions according to the intelligence, it still cannot be a match for this demon king/military leader.

Not to mention that there is actually more than one Demon King/military cadre coming this time. It can be said that unless that royal monster appears here, Beldia really can't think of any possibility that he will fail.

At the same time, a group of adventurers who were confronting the enemies outside the city were suddenly in an uproar after hearing Beldia's words.

"What? These guys are targeting the hero?"

"To actually send a cadre to Axel to kill the hero is truly despicable!"

"What should we do now? Even if we can defeat the higher-level demon, it would be difficult for the brave hero's team to defeat a true demon king or military leader right now, right?"

"That's right. And since the last battle with the high-ranking demon, the hero's team hasn't accepted any other commissions. Perhaps they haven't recovered yet."

A group of Axel's adventurers were whispering and discussing with each other. However, just as Beldia was patiently waiting for the adventurers' responses, a figure suddenly stood out.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Even the Demon King's army leaders are not as invincible as they appear. Don't let fear overwhelm your will before the enemy does."

Mitsurugi Hibiki stood in front of everyone and spoke loudly, not at all afraid of the terrifying aura of the Demon King/military cadre.

"Everyone, please stay in the city and be careful of the monster army's attack. As for this Demon King/military officer, leave it to me to deal with!"

After saying that, Mitsurugi Hibiki left the crowd alone and came to Beldia with the magic sword in his hand.

"Evil monster, if you want to hurt others, try to defeat me first!"

"you are?"

Looking at the golden retriever in front of him, Beldia recalled something in his mind and then recognized the other party's identity.

"Oh, I remember now. You are the brave warrior with the magic sword who is wanted by our Demon King/Army. I didn't expect you to appear here."

"But the hero I'm looking for this time is not you. If you don't want to die, get out of here right now. Do you understand?"

Hearing these words that were obviously looking down on him, Yu Jian Xiangye's mouth twitched.

"You actually underestimated me, if that's the case..."

The magic sword held in his hand emitted bursts of light, and then under the control of Yu Jian Xiangye, he slashed out.

Faced with this attack from a divine artifact from heaven, even Beldia did not choose to take it head-on. Instead, he dodged the attack and then swung the greatsword in his hand towards Yujian Xiangye.

Boom, boom! ! !

Accompanied by a violent shaking, the originally intact ground suddenly cracked into spider-web-like cracks. Fortunately, Yu Jian Xiangye retreated in time and was not hurt by this attack.

However, just as Yu Jian Xiangye was retreating, a stream of slime condensate with a very bright color suddenly sprayed on Yu Jian Xiangye at an extremely tricky angle from the direction of a group of monsters not far away.

Suddenly, accompanied by a lot of corrosion sounds, all the equipment on Yu Jian Xiangye's body except the magic sword was corroded into pieces in an instant. At the same time, Yu Jian Xiangye himself also showed signs of poisoning in an instant.

Obviously, this was the move made by Hans, who had been hiding in the dark from the beginning.

"Wha...what?"

Mitsurugi Hibiki's expression suddenly changed as he never expected that there was a Demon King's army cadre hiding in the dark.

Beldia also seized this opportunity with his superb fighting skills, swung the sword in his hand again, and directly knocked Yujian Xiangye out.

"Well, the Demon Sword Hero has failed. It's about time for you guys to give up, right?"

"If the hero in the prophecy doesn't come out, I will first chop off the head of this Demon Sword Hero, and then I will enter the city and find you myself!"

Slowly approaching the fallen Mitsurugi Hibiki, Beldia raised the weapon in his hand high, holding the head in his hand and spoke in a threatening tone.

When the adventurers not far away saw this scene, their eyes were filled with despair.

"Damn it! That Demon Sword Hero has been defeated again!"

"The Demon King/Military General is simply too strong."

"Is there really no hope?"

After a while, Beldia, who didn't receive a reply, had a flash of disdain in his eyes.

"It seems this is your choice. In that case, I will kill the hero with the magic sword first, and then I will go into the city myself to find the hero's hiding place!"

"This should have been done a long time ago. Why are you still talking nonsense?"

Hans, who had been exposed, also came to Beldia and said.

As the two finished speaking, Beldia swung the greatsword in his hand down suddenly, and in an instant he was close to Yujian Xiangye below.

However, at this moment, a golden light came from afar and flew towards Beldia's position like a meteor.

"That is..."

Feeling the familiar breath in the golden light, Beldia and Hans's faces changed drastically, and they chose to retreat desperately without hesitation.

next second.

Boom boom boom boom——!!!!!!

A violent explosion sounded, accompanied by a glow that spread across the entire battlefield.

Looking at the figure that walked out from the light, a figure that they would never dare to forget in their dreams, Beldia and Hans looked at each other and swallowed hard.

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

Chapter 228: The Holy Lance Draws Anchor, World-Class Power

There was no way he could mistake that face, whether it was Beldia, Hans, or any other demon king or military officer except a certain lich.

Why, why is this woman here? Shouldn't she be in the royal city or on the front lines of the battle between the kingdom and the demon king's army?!

To be honest, the moment they saw Altria's figure, although they didn't know why she appeared in such a city of novice adventurers, the two Demon Lords/military cadres Beldia and Hans had already thought of where to bury themselves.

They couldn't win. This monstrous woman in front of them was someone they could never defeat.

"You, you are..."

Yu Jian Xiangye, who fell to the ground due to serious injuries and poisoning, looked at the figure in front of him with a blurred consciousness and asked with some difficulty.

"Altria Pendragon, I will handle the enemies here. You and your companions should return to the city to recover first."

Only Artoria answered, and then watched Mitsurugi Hibiki being carried back to the city by his fellow adventurers who came from not far away, and then turned to look at Beldia and Hans in front of him.

Ignoring the enemy in front of them and prioritizing the rescue of the wounded was undoubtedly a form of contempt for a powerful being like the Demon King/military cadre.

However, both Beldia and Hans were still frozen in place at this moment, not daring to get angry or even launch a sneak attack.

Simply because they know the strength of the person in front of them better than anyone else.

"Well, if I say that what we said before was just a joke, would you be willing to let us go?"

Noticing that Altria was looking at them, Beldia and Hans were silent for a moment, and finally Beldia spoke first.

In response, Artoria said nothing, but raised her hand silently. The next second, a silver-white holy spear appeared in her hand.

At this moment, whether it was the two Demon Kings/military officers, the surrounding monster army, or even the Axel adventurers in the distance, they could clearly feel a suffocating pressure.

It is not the sense of oppression brought by death, but the vastness and heaviness that life unconsciously feels when facing something majestic.

"Could it be that this holy spear is also a divine weapon given by the heavens to the reincarnated?"

In the crowd, Chris, who was standing in Anxiu's team, looked at the holy spear in Altria's hand in the distance, and guessed silently in her heart.

The external artifact bestowed by heaven on the reincarnated person drifted into the world after the reincarnated person died, and was finally used by the native inhabitants of this world. This kind of thing is not without precedent.

As far as Chris knew, the royal family of the ancient Kingdom of Belzer had collected a lot of weapons used by reincarnated people in the palace treasury. Chris had originally planned to take back these props that would cause chaos in the world, so it was entirely possible that the holy spear used by Altria at the moment was a divine artifact from heaven.

However, after watching for a moment, Chris rejected this guess.

That holy spear is definitely not just a divine weapon bestowed by heaven upon the reincarnated. The heaviness that connects it to the world like an anchor is something that no other weapon bestowed by heaven possesses.

Could it be that this is a divine weapon that was born in the world under its jurisdiction and belongs to the world itself?

However, as a goddess, she had no idea when it was born, and she had never seen Artoria use it when she observed her as a goddess.

In the face of the Holy Lance's aura, only a few could remain calm and reflect like Chris. Including the two Demon Kings/military officers, the vast majority of monsters and adventurers present felt their minds go blank.

Like Chris, the two Demon Lords/military cadres, Beldia and Hans, also did not know any information about the Holy Spear in Altria's hand, but this did not prevent them from realizing that their situation was several levels more dangerous than before.

"I understand. The so-called heroes in the prophecy are probably just lies you made up to deceive our Demon King/military forces, right? Your intention is to lure them out and defeat them one by one."

"But don't think we'll surrender. Even if we're facing an unmatched foe, as a knight I won't sit still and wait for death!"

"That's right. If the two of us, the Demon Kings/Military Officers, attack together, even if we die, at least we can kill all the humans here!"

Beldia and Hans spoke one after another.

"let's go!"

With a roar, Hans removed his mimicry and transformed into his true form as a poisonous slime. His huge body surged towards Artoria and Axel behind her like a tidal wave.

The warhorse under Beldia raised its hooves, roared, turned around without hesitation, and ran away.

"Wait, Beldia, where are you going?!"

"Sir Hans, this is a necessary sacrifice. When we return to the Demon King's military base, I will let the Demon King remember your contribution!"

As Beldia spoke, he kept urging the warhorse under him to speed up.

Dead horse, run faster!

It can only be said that this is a funny world. Facing the farce in front of her, there was no fluctuation on Altria's face. She looked calmly at the giant slime rushing towards her and Axel behind her. The holy spear in her hand turned into a golden light and shot straight into the sky.

At this moment, the originally clear sky seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, looking beautiful and sacred. Countless golden rays of light intertwined and turned into gun tips protruding from the clouds.

Faced with this shocking scene, the two demon kings/military cadres fell into a trance, and then they saw the golden holy spear falling from the sky like a divine punishment.

"Holy Spear, pull out the anchor!"

Boom boom boom boom——!!!!!!

The dazzling light enveloped the earth, and the Axel adventurers in the distance only felt that their eyes were plunged into a vast expanse of white. It was not until the light dissipated after a long time that they were finally able to see the scenery outside Axel clearly.

The figures of the two demon kings/military cadres had long disappeared, and the place where the monster army was originally located turned into a blank. All the demon kings/military cadres except for the entire Axel disappeared like bubbles under the previous attack. Only the golden light scattered in the air and the huge sinkhole left by the two demon kings/military cadres before proved their previous existence.

"ended."

The holy spear in her hand dissipated. Artoria took a look at the scene caused by the partial power released after she released the holy spear, then turned around and returned to Axel.

Although the previous attack was powerful enough for the people in this world, it was far from the full power of the Holy Spear in Altria's hand after it was released. However, apart from Anshu, Meli and Altria, only Chris noticed this.
