A Great Victory on the Battlefield

During the three days of fierce offensive and defensive battles on the front lines, the demons were slowly massacred.

Despite the emergence of new demon species that seemed to reproduce very quickly, they were slaughtered as soon as they set foot on the battlefield. The humans were rapidly gaining ground, having moved beyond the walls and now controlling the advance in the Thunder Mountains.

Moreover, the remaining fortresses provided the humans with enough time to establish themselves and rest.

To protect their retreat, the demons withdrew, leaving behind 30,000 demons who were massacred.

As they retreated, any mechanical error could have doomed them, but they did not expect to face the direct onslaught of the weaponry that the humans had developed over the years.

Additionally, the three consecutive days of fierce attacks had also exhausted the demons' last reserves. They could no longer continue their march and were forced to take a brief rest.

After weighing the pros and cons, the demon in charge immediately wrote a battle report to the commander-in-chief, the Demon King, detailing the battle and his own opinions and requesting reinforcements. Only by recovering the four main brigades of the army could they be assured of fulfilling the order to penetrate behind enemy lines.

Through aerial reconnaissance, Zeldris the Golden already knew that passing through the Snowy Mountains would lead to densely populated human territory. This area could recruit more than 50,000 servant soldiers to defend the city.

Although the army of servants was weak in combat effectiveness, as long as they dared to fight tooth and nail, they could still kill demons in subsequent battles. Without enough troops, it would be truly fatal to attack the castles one by one.

While Zeldris awaited reinforcements to prepare for the attack, the demon army at the forefront of the human territory fell into the dilemma of being surrounded on three sides.

Zeldris had originally planned to delve deeper alone, lure the human army, adopt the tactic of attacking from the center, strike the rear of the Thunder Mountains, shake the morale of the northern front-line army, and cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

Unexpectedly, after passing through human territory, Zeldris fell into the human army's trap.

The demons who had just passed the Snowy Mountains were about to head to the Thunder Mountains but discovered that the human army was concentrated there.

The demons thought that the Paladins' Legion would learn from the lessons of the last war and would not abandon the strong fortress rashly to avoid falling into the demons' trap.

Unexpectedly, Damian took over as the commander of the Paladins' Legion.

Zeldris had heard of this human, who was considered the Magic Emperor, and was interested in talking to him to delve deeper into the fate of both races.

"Sir, that demon has not moved all this time, and everything indicates that he wants to talk to you as our general commander."

Damian looked at this demon, thought for a bit, and, after coming to a conclusion, looked at his soldiers and said, "Prepare for a full invasion. Once I kill that demon, we will advance."

"Understood."

...

"I really didn't expect to see you on the calming front; you've been very intriguing to us demons," said Zeldris, who wore a golden cape, looking at Damian, who was dressed entirely in black.

Damian did not show any nervousness, walked next to the demon, and said, "Your race is losing the war, facing complete annihilation, so tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

"I'm curious, why do you consider us a race impossible to talk to if we kill you?"

"For the simple fact that you couldn't live without killing humans, The disgust grows when you kill a loving father's son; when you do, that father will not rest until he kills all of you. In that case, you will kill the father, but it turns out that this simple human has a daughter who ended up marrying the prince of a prosperous kingdom."

Damian paused and said, "At that point, will the prince, once he becomes king, launch a war against the demons? If you kill the prince, the current king will also launch a war against you, so I ask you, How can we find harmony?"

"Great logic; now I understand better." Zeldris nodded, pondering what Damian had said.

"Don't move..." Damian released half of his magical aura for a few seconds, leaving Zeldris frozen. His eyes filled with horror, and for a few seconds, he didn't know what to do.

Crack!

But before Zeldris could launch an attack, Damian pierced his heart with a magic dagger, a demon-slaying weapon. "I will use a nuclear bomb against the demons; I will pulverize all the demons along with the Demon King; and I will end the war before you know it."

"Good luck..." Murmured Zeldris as his body disintegrated.
