That's a Bit Unexpected

This time, it was the Blood Demon Royal Court, along with several Royal Court, that directly declared war on the Demon King.

This surprised everyone, yet it made perfect sense.

After all, Dukale's personality is unique among the unconventional Sarkaz, and he has also committed acts of fratricide and king murder in the past, so doing it again now is actually quite reasonable.

Of course, it's reasonable to say that, but it's impossible for anyone to really let the other side do as they please.

Many Royal Court began to assemble their forces, preparing for the impending civil war.

Maria, however, seemed somewhat puzzled.

She knew Dukale was an arrogant fool, but... when did Dukale become so insane as to dare confront the Demon King head-on?

Whether he wins or loses, it will do him no good.

What could possibly have driven him to make such a choice?

Could it be... that he's really gone mad?

It's obviously not that simple.

While no one expected it, Theresis was still dealing with numerous issues such as refugees and soldiers following the wars in the border countries.

At this moment, Dukale launched a brazen attack on Kazdel City!

A swarm of bizarre creatures has surrounded the entire city!

This instilled fear in everyone still inside Kazdel.

But Theresa stepped forward resolutely at this moment and told everyone not to be afraid of the enemy, as she would lead the army to victory and crush them!

The people of Kazdel didn't know exactly how much talent the Demon Lord possessed in commanding battles, but they did indeed calm down.

With the Demon King setting such an example, what reason do we have to panic and cause trouble?

But at night...

"How could I not be afraid?"

Theresa sat in the conference room, her hands clenched tightly on the table, her face also pale.

Although he assured his people during the day that the war would soon be over and everything would return to calm.

But she wasn't very confident about this.

The other reinforcements will take at least two days to arrive, and it's hard to say how much combat strength they'll have by then.

Meanwhile, Dukale's army was Kazdel City.

Ideally, they could resist using the thick walls that Maria had ordered the Gargoyle to build.

But it might only last a day or two.

The sacrifices made are countless.

This plunged Theresa into a painful struggle.

Meanwhile, Lamaline sat comfortingly beside the girl, nodding earnestly after hearing the girl's trembling words.

"Even so, you are still our Demon King..."

"Thank you, Lamaline."

Theresa sighed in response to Lamaline's words.

How similar is the current situation to that of the past?

Kazdel offered no resistance, and the enemy was exceptionally powerful.

The only difference is that the woman who once gave people boundless peace of mind is no longer there; they must grow up and face everything on their own.

Only then did they truly realize how terrible the situation Maria had faced was.

But instead of giving up and walking away, they raised their heads and prepared to accept everything.

All victories and deaths will be revealed tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Theresa also looked at Lamaline.

Lamaline, however, seemed to have anticipated what Theresa was about to say, and shook her head slightly.

"The Banshees won't abandon the Demon King..."

"But..."

"The war hasn't even started yet, nothing is certain, is it?"

Lamaline smiled, but it was a forced smile.

Clearly, she has come to some realization about this.

She has already ordered some of the Banshees to evacuate, preserving them as the last spark of hope, but until then... she will undoubtedly continue to fight alongside Theresa!

"Thank you... Lamaline."

Looking at her steadfastly supportive partner, Theresa's voice was soft, yet firm.

But what neither of them noticed was that right outside their window, a dark figure was flickering...

It's Maria!

After hearing the rumors circulating in the city, she realized that things might be going badly.

She had thought that since things had come to this, she should at least try to find out what other people's plans were, but she never expected that upon arriving here, she would hear such despairing words.

Her long, slender eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes drooped slightly.

The Doll's voice slowly echoed in my mind.

So... are you going to help them?

"Um."

Maria asked calmly, "Don't you want me to do it?"

"No, I will support whatever you do."

The Doll's voice remained calm as always, and its illusory figure stood beside Maria, swaying with her as they gazed at the gradually overlapping moon.

"And... this is indeed an opportunity..."

341

Chapter 341 was a bit of a surprise.

When Maria arrived Kazdel City, the orderly ranks were already ready.

Even from a great distance, Maria could sense that something was wrong with these guys.

They exuded an aura that did not belong to humans...

Just as the Doll said immediately after contacting her.

'Gordan has also arrived.'

Without a doubt, the monster that Maria had previously perceived, which could not be killed unless the blade was stained with her own blood, was also created because of Her power.

This is also why Maria has not chosen to travel through time again during this period.

She wants to find the body possessed by Gordan and then kill it!

At this moment, her actions were not only to help Lamaline and Theresa, but also because she herself wanted to take action.

"These things... are all infected."

The Doll's phantom became increasingly solid, and she used Maria's gaze to look at the rows of straight soldiers.

Even though there were still dozens of hours before the battle, they made no preparations for combat. They simply stood straight in the ranks, forming an orderly line, their eyes filled with menacing intent.

"Has their wisdom been taken away?"

Maria, her eyes slightly lowered.

As she approached, the monsters seemed to respond, turning their heads and slowly looking at her.

They weren't all Blood Demon, but their eyes all shone with a terrifying crimson light.

Under the moonlight, the wind blew across the lush grass, making it sway.

Maria coldly drew her long sword and walked step by step toward the monsters.

The slender blade reflected bright light and shadow on her body.

His cold pupils remained gray.

"Gurgle--"

These people growled, their throats emitting inhuman roars.

Their faces were contorted in rage, their mouths agape, revealing sharp Fang.

Its appearance.

"Resembling a wild beast..."

Maria didn't waste any words and attacked directly!

His sharp body traced a beautiful arc through the air.

The mutated people attacked Maria like madmen.

But under Maria's blade, no one could withstand the third blow.

With two stabs, she would take a life without hesitation.

Her fierce attacks made her look like a goddess of death!

Even so, the monsters around her continued to attack Maria relentlessly, as if they knew nothing of death, using their own flesh and blood to try to surround and kill Maria.

But gradually, they also discovered that their flesh and blood bodies could hardly break through Maria's attacks, so they began to change their strategy, letting Maria kill them and the others.

Blood splattered rapidly, and some of it inevitably landed on Maria's clothes.

Then it began to wriggle.

They thought they could use this method to devour Maria and make her one of their own.

But clearly, they still have a very limited understanding of what kind of being Maria truly is.

The crimson blood energy suddenly surged and directly devoured it!

This method is even less effective than simply piling up flesh and blood!

As more and more monsters approached, Maria frowned slightly.

She held back no longer, her eyes turning bloodshot in an instant!

With a powerful leap, she soared into the air.

The longsword was pushed to its limit!

Then...

A single strike!

"Sulfone--!"

The shockwave swept out and, the instant Maria landed, transformed into a red arc, directly attacking her from all directions!

These fearless monsters died because of their loyalty!

Blood gradually stained the land!

Maria exhaled and slowly stood up.

The moonlit wind blew through her hair, but it couldn't illuminate her eyes. Her slender figure stood straight in place, gazing into the distance.

Amidst the swarming monsters, a familiar figure gradually emerged.

Her scarlet eyes were more alluring and wicked than Maria's.

His face remained tense, but his emotions were calm.

Judging from his appearance, the other party should be Dukale.

But...
