At Twilight Castle, Voice Puji's voice echoed beneath the sky through Amplification Magic.
"Demon—Slime—evil—Old Deng—King, are you home?"
"If you are, hurry up and come out to die! Don't think you can hide and launch a sneak attack. That will only drag a whole city of innocent demons down with you!"
"You wouldn't want this majestic royal capital, with its centuries of history, to be reduced to ashes in the flames of war because of your own cowardice and vileness, would you?
"Evil Slime, come out at once and settle this!"
High in the sky, quite a few little black dots were moving about. They were Scout Puji circling Twilight Castle, and Linden was trying to use them to confirm whether the Demon King was actually here.
These Puji did not get too close. As the Imperial Capital, Twilight Castle naturally had the very highest defensive configuration inside the city. Even the Fungal Fortress could not compare in that regard. The Puji that had failed to judge the distance properly had already been reduced to handfuls of ash.
This was also one of the important reasons Linden suspected the Demon King was inside Twilight Castle. A mighty city like Twilight Castle needed only ten thousand or so elites, paired with one or two powerful fighters, and as long as the Ji God Soldier and Leviathan Puji were not deployed, it could hold off the Fungal Fortress's Puji army for a long time.
The Demon King clearly had no reason to abandon this place.

That meant either the Demon King was hiding inside Twilight Castle, or
