After that, the Demon Lord's Army's offensive was nothing to worry about.
With their retreat cut off and their commanding officers subjugated, the remaining Demon Lord's Army could do little but suffer a one-sided slaughter by the Kingdom's forces.
Once the Demon Lord's Army had been completely subjugated, the entire Kingdom's army erupted into cheers and applause, laughing freely over their rare, great victory.
Even the Royal Capital's evacuation order was lifted. By the time the Kingdom's army returned in triumph, the people of the Royal Capital had all returned to their homes, filling the city with lively energy once more.
Naturally, news of Fang Li's feat as the greatest contributor to this battle—his subjugation of a Demon Lord's Army officer—began to spread.
"Just as expected of Princess Alice's fiancé!"
"That makes him the second Demon Lord's Army officer subjugated by that man, doesn't it?"
"To subjugate two Demon Lord's Army officers in succession... that's incredible!"
"The Demon Lord's Army is nothing special after all!"
The citizens of the Royal Capital discussed it all with high spirits.
Meanwhile, the very person being discussed received rather unfair treatment after arriving at the royal castle.
"You have worked hard, Adventurer Fang Li. The royal family will reward you for your achievements, so you may leave now."
In the audience hall, Kureia spoke those heartless words to Fang Li, leaving Rain beside her helpless.
"Kureia?"
Even Alice, who had changed into formal attire and was preparing to approach Fang Li, blinked in confusion when Kureia stopped her.
"Lady Kureia, isn't this somewhat inappropriate?"
As the Adventurer's Guild's representative and the top-ranked adventurer in the Royal Capital, Mikoto Kyoya apparently had not expected this development either, and looked utterly stunned.
After all, Fang Li was the hero who had subjugated a Demon Lord's Army
