Chapter 5 Reason for Strategic Transference!

In order to make sure that the lord would not lose to the brave warriors, the demon race's election had always put strength at the first place.

No matter where they came from, regardless of their identity, or even their races, as long as they could win in the "lord selection arena" and have the strength to defeat human brave warriors, then they could be the lord.

Because of this system, there were many idiots and people with no political achievements acting as lords. However, the existence of brave warriors undoubtedly restricted the development of the demon race. Even the presence of a stupid spiritual symbol was better than the vacancy of a leader, which was something they had to have.

Therefore, the appearance of the lord, Taurus, was of great significance to the demon race. He not only repelled the valiant warriors, but also expanded the territory of the demon race, which had not changed for a thousand years, and regained the dignity of the demon race!

With the aid of all kinds of achievements, the image of Taurus, the lord, became greater and greater in everyone's eyes. However, under the glorious appearance, the officials suddenly realized that they had ignored the most real side of the lord. If it weren't for the fact that they still remembered the name that their lord had registered on the list when he participated in the selection competition years ago, perhaps no one present could realize that the lord had a name called "Taurus".

However, this ordinary man who looked like a human suddenly appeared and said that he was the father of their lord…

Officials A, B and C looked at the "Calamity Sliver Lion" in confusion. The latter quickly nodded and then turned her face to the other side. Now it was her master who ordered them to investigate brother Taurus, Lina didn't want to interfere too much.

Since his identity as the father of the lord was recognized by the "Calamity Silver Lion", it shouldn't be wrong. The father of the lord was also the father of the entire demon race! Anyway, he couldn't be neglected!

"It turned out to be Master Hacker. I'm sorry that I didn't welcome you earlier after your long journey. Please come in. We're the lord's…"

"Well, since he is not here now, I have to look for him again. Thank you for your hospitality, Taurus's friends."

Friends of … the lord?

Official A, B and C became a little arrogant. Being able to be regarded as friends of their lord by his father was equivalent to the recognition of their relationship with the lord, and it was a special honor in the current demon race, which instantly made their relationship with Hacker closer.

The lord's father's voice was so pleasant to hear.

"Master Hacker, you're flattering us. We're just officials serving the lord. How dare we talk about 'friends' with the lord? He left a note saying that he had returned to the demon city. How about our escorting you to the devil kingdom?"

Getting close to each other was one thing, but what was more important was to seize the opportunity to get down to business. Official C secretly winked at the two colleagues.

At present, since the lord was not here, the remaining demon army was in a dilemma. The reason was undoubtedly that if they attack, they would cause too many unprofitable losses, and there was no suitable reason for them to retreat.

But now this reason just came to them! To escort the lord's father to the demon city! There is nothing more important than this!

"That's right! The road from here to the devil kingdom is not peaceful. For safety, it's better for us to escort you back."

Official A and B who understood everything in a second, quickly echoed with C's words. They were more interested in this father of the lord who suddenly appeared than in occupying the human city.

"To be escorted by you? I don't think it's a good idea. You seem to be planning to invade that city?"

On the way here, Hacker of course, noticed the encirclement of the demon army to the human city. Originally, it was his mission to mediate the disputes among races and maintain the balance between the forces of different races, but after long and serious work, he found that it was difficult to solve the problem thoroughly. Even if this time they stopped fighting because of his persuasion, the next time they would fight again.

In the dark age, he had to deal with hundreds of such cases almost every day. The boring and repeated work gradually made him numb. It was because he was tired of such a life that he left the work of maintaining the world balance to the twelve children and intended to find a girlfriend who could understand him.

Of course, this was only one of the reasons why he wanted to find a girlfriend.

"No, no! Master Hacker, you misunderstood. We are just doing a drill! It's a drill! Now that the drill is over, we are also planning to return to the demon city!"

Official C explained in a hurry. After the lord left, everyone lost the urge to invade the human city. Now the father of the lord happened to be here. Although he didn't know the background of his father for the time being, it would be no good to involve him in the war.

Now that they had decided to retreat, they could explain the siege as a drill, so as to save some faces for some officials.

"Drill? So, you have already discussed with the humans in the city about a mimic warfare game?"

Hacker scratched the back of his head. In his memory, among the twelve races, the humans and the demons had always been against each other. The day before he was buried in the grave, the two sides had just fought a large-scale battle. Why did the relationship between the two races become so peaceful just five hundred years later that they could even conduct a joint military drill in such a quiet way?

By the way! It seemed that these demons had just called him the lord. Was it the result of the child's balance?

"You're right! That's it! Now the military drill is over. We are preparing to go back to the devil city, Master Hacker, why don't you go back with us to look for the lord!"

Official B replied outright. Perhaps it was because of his personality, his words were much more natural than his two colleagues.

"Well, then please lead the way for me. I also want to know the situation of Taurus in the past few years from you. Thank you."

Lina, who had been standing by all the time, was happy when she heard that her master was going to go back with the demon army. She didn't expect that brother Taurus was so lucky. If they went with the demon army to find him, it would really stall for a lot of time.

Looking at the demon army receding like the tide, the king of the Cruse Kingdom, who was ready to fight in person and walked on the city wall, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even in the past few days, he had continuously mobilized everyone to be prepared for death, but if there was a chance to live on, no one would want to die.

"Your majesty, the demon army has retreated. What should we do now?"

The general guarding the king walked up and asked. Under the invasion of the demon army, they had already lost a lot of territory. This city they were now in was their capital city. If they lost this city, their entire country would probably be enslaved by the demon race.

"What should I do? Organize all the remaining territory of the kingdom to recover as soon as possible. Only in this way can we have the chance to take back the lost territory! Besides, who else have noticed the man who talked to the commander of the demon army?"

Hacker talked to the officials of the demon army was also noticed by the imperial army that paid attention to the movements of the demon army all the time. Therefore, after receiving the report, the king personally climbed up the city wall and kept the man's face in mind.

"Issue a commission to the adventurer guild and ask them to send brave warriors here! Anyway, the retreat of the demon army must have something to do with that man. We must rescue him. Our Cruse kingdom will never owe anyone anything!"
