"Lady Aura..."
"Your Majesty Demon King's order is to decide everything after he arrives."
Below the high platform, a Demon with horns on their head and wearing a blue dress looked up at the high platform with hesitation.
On the high platform was a petite Demon with pink hair.
"Lügner, are you questioning my orders?"
Aura lightly pursed her lips, playing with the scale of obedience in her hand, finding it amusing.
"Lady Aura!"
"This subordinate wouldn't dare."
Lügner bowed deeply after seeing this.
"Alright, go."
Aura quietly looked at Lügner for a few seconds, then sighed.
The interest she had finally mustered was completely extinguished by Lügner's reaction.
After waving her hand dismissively, she told Lügner to go and carry out the order.
However, just as Lügner was about to exit the hall door.
Aura hesitated for a moment and called out to him.
"Lügner..."
Aura spoke quietly.
"Lady Aura."
Lügner withdrew the hand he had placed on the hall door, turned around, and stood respectfully in place.
"Leave Linie behind..."
Aura placed her finger on her mouth.
"You can go with Draht yourself."
"Yes, Lady Aura!"
Lügner breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked curiously.
"Lady Aura, is there a task for Linie to stay behind?"
Linie was his right-hand man.
In Lügner's eyes, Linie was an existence with a similar status to himself in Lady Aura's eyes.
"Hmm?"
Aura quietly glanced at Lügner.
It seemed she thought Lügner was being a bit talkative today.
"Sorry, Lady Aura!"
"This subordinate will go to Earl Granat's territory now."
Cold sweat dripped down Lügner's cheeks.
He always felt like there was something wrong with himself lately!
He was a cold executioner!
Cold and silent was his persona!
"Hmm."
Aura gently nodded her head, and Lügner took a deep breath before leaving the hall.
Clapping sounds came from the entrance of the hall.
Accompanied by Lügner's faint words.
It seemed to be something about "executioner..." "speaking too much is bound to lead to mistakes..." and "aloofness."
Aura didn't hear clearly, nor was she interested in hearing clearly.
Demons are inherently strange, and it's perfectly normal for them to behave strangely.
"Linie, ah..."
Aura bit her finger, a hint of confusion on her face.
"I really don't know why Demon King likes this little Demon so much..."
Aura lowered her head and glanced at her chest.
"Mine is clearly bigger..."
"Rustle rustle~"
The sound of the wind echoed across this desolate land.
Suddenly, a huge dark shadow swept across the sky!
It was Lügner taking Draht and flying into the distance on a giant corpse-luring bird!
It's time to set off...
Yulian's eyelids felt heavy.
After taking turns on watch with Stark yesterday, Yulian couldn't fall asleep after returning to bed.
Because he had to face that question – whether to return directly to the Demon.
Having arrived in the Northern Lands, it could be said that half of the region was infiltrated by the Demon.
With Aura's influence, Yulian could easily travel north and return directly to the base camp.
However, Yulian didn't want to go back.
Frieren, Fern, Stark, familiar faces, were all existences that Yulian couldn't bear to leave.
[Flenna, what should I do.]
Yulian whispered in his heart.
But he didn't receive any response.
Flenna had fallen into a deep sleep.
She was preparing for the future return to the Demon and the creation of the Snow Clan.
"Mr. Yulian, are you ready?"
Fern's voice came from downstairs.
"Coming~"
Yulian shook his head, making his chaotic mind a little clearer.
Let's take it one step at a time...
The destination is Earl Granat's territory.
Travel supplies were rarely replenished because they had arrived in the Northern Lands, and they were approaching the battle zone between the Greater Demon and the Earl.
In this uninhabited area, both food and other daily necessities were extremely scarce.
Therefore, everyone was somewhat eager to reach Earl Granat's territory.
They had had enough of living like this, eating and sleeping in the open...
"Mistress Frieren!"
Walking on the forest path, Fern suddenly looked up at the sky vigilantly.
"There's a Demon."
Frieren's eyes narrowed, and she summoned her staff, pointing it behind her not far away.
"Demon!"
"Where!"
Stark panicked, pulling out the mountain-splitting axe from behind him and looking around frantically.
"Behind us..."
"In the sky."
Yulian turned around and calmly glanced at the rapidly moving black dot in the sky.
As expected, Aura still likes to act on her own...
Yulian pursed his lips slightly with a bitter smile.
Demon were like this, without absolute obedience.
He had clearly emphasized it repeatedly.
"The sky behind us?"
Stark followed Yulian's gaze and indeed saw a huge dark shadow flying rapidly overhead!
The strong wind stung their faces.
Was that an unfamiliar Demon wearing an exquisite blue dress?
Yulian squinted, catching a glimpse of the man on the corpse-luring bird in the strong wind.
"It's not...coming for us..."
Fern breathed a sigh of relief.
But looking at the giant demon's flight direction, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
It seemed to be heading towards Earl Granat's territory...
"So scary..."
Stark was blown to the ground by the strong wind, trembling all over.
"Such a terrifying demon..."
"Corpse-luring bird, a bird demon."
"It feeds on the corpses of humans or animals that have been killed..."
Frieren put away her staff and quietly looked in the direction the corpse-luring bird had left, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.
"Is it going towards Earl Granat's territory?"
Fern voiced the question in her heart.
"It should be..."
"But it shouldn't be an attack."
Frieren said expressionlessly.
She also couldn't figure out the Demon's tricks.
Only Yulian smiled bitterly, knowing Aura's thoughts.
He had always advocated for peaceful coexistence with humans, so Aura was probably trying to make relations with humans as bad as possible before he returned to the Demon.
In that case, even if he, as Demon King, wanted peace, the humans would probably be unwilling.
What a clever elementary schooler...
Yulian shook his head helplessly.
"Let's go..."
"No matter what the situation is, we have to hurry."
Frieren sighed and set off again.
"Can we change our destination...?"
Stark complained, but also moved to follow.
Only Fern quietly came to Yulian's side and gently poked him with her arm.
"Hmm?"
Yulian curved his lips, forcing a smile.
"Mr. Yulian, do you have a way to organize the war between the Demon and humans here?"
Fern said softly, her beautiful purple eyes looking at Yulian with anticipation.
"I.."
Yulian's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
It seemed like a good idea!
