Jadis stood up from the ground tremblingly. Although he looked weak, there was amazing determination in his eyes.

"I want to end the war!"

"Huh?"

Jiang Li curled up the corners of his mouth in amusement.

"I know that if it were ten years ago, such a naive idea would never have succeeded, but things are different now!"

The blond and blue-eyed boy spoke calmly and steadily.

Ten years ago, the fighting between demons and humans was extremely brutal. Both sides showed no regard for civilians and often caused widespread damage. Once a city was breached, tens of thousands of people would die at the hands of demons!

But ever since Wiz stormed into the Demon King's Castle ten years ago and forced the old Demon King to sign a contract with her not to harm civilians, the war situation has gradually improved, and the demons have been restraining their behavior.

Until now, ten years later, the demons no longer kill even a single civilian. The war between the two sides is limited to the Demon King's army, the Knights, and adventurers, and the damage to civilians has been limited to the minimum!

Nowadays, there are only small-scale frictions from time to time between the two sides, and there has not been a large-scale war!

This is all thanks to Wiz.

Without her, who knows how long the human race would have to live in fear and misery.

By now, ending the war is no longer a dream!

"Wanting to end the war, did this desire become the power that allowed you to break free from the dilemma of death?"

"That's right!"

Jadis nodded firmly.

"Although they are still enemies on the surface, I know that humans and demons have already merged with each other long ago. Various demons have entered human cities to survive. This in itself is proof that both sides can achieve peace!"

In this day and age, demons like succubus entering human cities to do business can be seen in novice villages.

It is true that there are still many demons who have ill intentions towards humans, but that does not mean there is no hope for peace!

Jedis has been committed to this matter all along!

The original old demon king has been staying in the demon king's city, and the demon king's city is covered with a barrier. No one can enter, even the gods cannot force their way in, leaving Jedis helpless.

But now, the new demon king has replaced the old demon king, and has appeared near the novice village. Unlike the old demon king, the new demon king often goes out, which makes Jedis see the possibility of changing the status quo!

For this purpose, he specially gathered such a large team, went through untold hardships, disregarded his own safety, went deep into the enemy camp, and finally broke through the fifth level and met the devil!

"We came here because we admire His Royal Highness's determination!"

Yu Jian Xiangye said with admiration.

"Eh? Is that so?"

Youyou swallowed and tried hard to reduce her presence.

She had no idea about this before. After all, she was just an adventurer hired by Jadis.

"I see."

Jiang Li nodded in admiration.

No wonder, although Jedis was not recognized by the artifact and his strength was far inferior to Alice, he was able to suppress Alice and become the unshakable heir to the throne.

This prince is indeed quite capable, worthy of being Alice's brother.

"But you can't beat me."

Jiang Li folded his hands in front of his abdomen.

Although he still had his legs crossed, this undoubtedly meant that he was finally serious.

"That's right..."

Jadis nodded heavily.

The new demon king is too powerful!

As expected of the existence who forced the old devil to abdicate with his strength, they couldn't even get close to each other. He didn't even need to release a trace of hostility, he could kill them on the spot with a wave of his hand!

"But it's not that I can't give you a chance."

But what came out of the devil's mouth next made Jadis' eyes light up.

"As long as you can break the barrier and enter the Demon King's Castle, I will order the Demon King's army to stop the war with humans!"

"Enter the Demon King's Castle?"

"That's right, it's not this mini Demon King Castle, but the real Demon King Castle!"

"This……"

Jeddy frowned immediately.

That huge Demon King's Castle huddled on the northern edge of the continent!

It is surrounded by a barrier created by the eight major cadres, which no one has been able to break so far. Except for the "Ice Witch" of that year, no one has ever entered the castle!

Even the Ice Witch back then did not break the barrier head-on, but entered the castle through teleportation with the help of a noble man - some said that noble man was Barnil, the Grand Duke of Hell.

Simply put, no one can break that barrier now!

If they could break the barrier, they would have rushed in and forced the old devil to sign a peace treaty!

It’s because I couldn’t do it that I came to Axel to find you, the new demon king!

"I'll give you a hint."

Seeing that Jedis looked troubled, Jiang Li knew that this task was almost impossible, so he added another sentence.

"The barrier surrounding the Demon King's Castle is incredibly strong. Even a warlike god cannot break it without using a special divine weapon. But that's when the barrier is maintained by the eight cadres. In reality, if it were maintained by just two cadres, a god could easily break it!"

Jadis pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but the more he listened, the more frightened he became.

God?

Where can he find God?

Moreover, a god can only break the barrier maintained by two cadres. What's the point of that? There are eight cadres on the other side!

"As far as I know, there are at least two gods in this country."

Jiang Li directly revealed a shocking piece of information.

Yasaka Airi frowned fiercely.

She moved her lips, but finally fell silent.

"If we can find those two gods, breaking the barrier maintained by the four cadres will be a piece of cake... But that depends on whether you can do it!"

Jiang Li looked at Jadis meaningfully.

"This means..."

Jedis's expression changed. He was not a fool and immediately understood the meaning of Jiang Li's words.

"I understand! Thank you, Your Majesty the Demon King!"

He thanked Jiang Li very sincerely.

Then, with the support of Yu Jian Xiangye, he walked towards the outside of the hall.

Youyou was startled and followed quietly.

Chapter 866: Two People with Gradually Changing Thoughts

"As long as we can find those two gods, we can break the barrier maintained by the four cadres!"

Supported by Yu Jian Xiangye, Prince Jedis limped towards the front hall, his eyes full of hope.

"There are two key points. One is to find those two gods, and the other is to reduce the number of cadres in the Demon King's army to four!"

The barrier outside the Demon King's Castle is linked to the lives of the cadres. As long as the cadres are not dead, the barrier will not be weakened.

In other words, finding the gods and killing the cadres, these two things need to be done together!

"I once heard that the new Demon King is a human. I didn't believe it before, but now I have to believe it!"

Prince Jadis looked as if he had suddenly understood something, his face full of admiration.

"I'm the one who said that... But Your Highness is right, the new Demon King still has his heart set on humanity!"

Mitsurugi Hibiki also looked pleased, praising someone who was not here.

"Is that so?"

Youyou interrupted their conversation with a confused look on her face.

She knew very little about the new Demon King. Just from the brief meeting just now, she subconsciously felt that the Demon King didn't seem like a good person?

"That must be the case, otherwise, as the Demon King, he wouldn't have to help us!"

"But the method he proposed requires the death of four Demon King Army officers..."

Youyou felt something was not right.

Is there anyone who betrays his own subordinates?

"This actually proves that he's loyal to humanity, doesn't it?"

But Prince Jadis spoke with confidence.

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be a war faction within the Demon King's army who disagree with reconciliation with humans. The new Demon King is unable to get these cadres to give up their prejudices, so he wants to use us to eliminate them!"

"Yes, I think so too!"

Mitsurugi Hibiki agreed and nodded with the prince in a sympathetic manner.

"Uh……"

Youyou choked.

"Is it really?"

She felt that there must be a trap here, but she couldn't tell where the trap was.

"Ms. Youyou, do you have a different opinion?"

Jadis looked clear-headed and asked Youyou sincerely.

"No, no, I don't have any opinions. I'm just an ordinary citizen...!"

Youyou shook her head repeatedly, expressing in fear and trepidation that she was too stupid.

She really had no idea, because she had no idea what the new demon king was trying to do.

But how to say it... She saw a familiar temperament in the new Demon King, a unique temperament that the people of the Red Demon Clan burst out when faced with interesting things.

Feeling that familiar atmosphere, Youyou subconsciously didn't want to believe that demon king.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Edgeworth, don't you have questions for the Demon King?"

"That's right, but there's no need to ask because I already have the answer. That guy is truly admirable. He's still human after all!"

Mitsurugi Hibiki snorted and laughed helplessly.

"I see. I suppose you want to ask the Demon King whose side he's on?"

Prince Jadis immediately understood.

"As expected of His Royal Highness, you hit the nail on the head!"

"Haha, don't praise me, I'll be proud!"

The two of them laughed happily all the way, reunited with their companions from the Third Hall, and left the Demon King's Castle.

the other side.

"Hehehe, hehehe, hehehahahahaha!"

Jiang Li sat on the Demon King's throne and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"what's so funny?"

Yasaka Airi gave him a cold look, her eyes clearly showing dissatisfaction.
