Chapter 32: Promise on the Return

“Thank you…”

“We…”

“We’re joining…”

“The Demon King’s Territory…”

These wild fairies who announced this would be led by the leaders of the fairies of the Demon King’s Territory to familiarize themselves with the nearby terrain and work… Although they also needed to work in the Demon King’s Territory, the work here was relatively comfortable.

Although there was no reward, he had obtained a safe and comfortable environment and residence. He even had a reasonable work and rest time and exquisite delicacies to eat.

This could be considered going from hell to heaven, right?

According to these wild fairies, these wild bees were originally residents at the southern end of the forest, but for some reason, they chose to move north… in the direction of the Demon King City.

“Did something happen over there?” Ira muttered to himself.

“Maybe nothing.”

As the black-flame Headless Horseman spoke, a pleasant female voice sounded from the location of her head, “The huge bee has the habit of migrating. Perhaps the number of flowers in its original residence has decreased.”

In that case, perhaps that was indeed the case.

Ira, who did not know much about the giant bee, nodded in agreement.

“Mr. Ira…”

Just as Ira was thinking about something, the Black Flame Headless Horseman spoke. He rode his horse back to the Demon King’s Territory and said, “In our battle this time, the losses of the Headless Horsemen are zero.”

Celina, who was beside her, and Satan Leaf, who was sitting behind her, looked over when they heard this.

“The losses of our Insectoid people are also zero.”

As the leader of the Insectoids spoke, a pair of black eyes like lychee cores looked at Ira, and his voice carried some respect.

“The carapace of the Insectoid people can resist the stinger of the huge bee to a large extent, and the armor of the Headless Horseman makes the huge bees unable to do anything. It’s very normal not to be injured.”

Ira said indifferently. He was in charge of this battle. The Insectoid leader and the Black Flame Headless Horseman had no objections. In fact, they were happy to listen to Ira’s orders.

However, actually, it was the most normal thing to suffer battle damage. After all, the sharp wings of the huge bee were not meant to be seen. They were enough to cut off the body of the Insectoid. Even if the armor of the Headless Horseman was hard, the soul on its head was very fragile.

Even if everyone was not a new recruit, compared to this battle result called “annihilation”, “zero deaths” was already a very beautiful result. This battle result was even “zero casualties”, and no one was even injured.

They gradually advanced and slowly nibbled away… This battle method was like a sharp blade. Every time they cut open the enemy’s body, they would only take away a piece of flesh every time, but they did not give the enemy any chance to breathe or escape.

Was this the Chief Consul?

“La~ La~ La~”

Satan Leaf looked at the group of fairies sitting on the headless horse not far away chatting. She seemed to have heard a happy humming sound? The direction seemed to be…

It was actually Ira singing?

Satan Leaf, who did not expect Ira to sing at all, widened her eyes slightly. In her and the stereotypical impression of the other demon leaders, Ira should speak seriously, sigh calmly, nod helplessly, kill coldly, and so on.

However, he was definitely not a person who would nod and sing softly and look very happy.

Therefore, everyone looked very surprised.

“Mr. Ira, you seem to be in a good mood?”

Regarding Celina’s confusion, Ira was first stunned, then she stopped snorting and continued to smile, “Yes, this is the most comfortable and enjoyable battle I’ve fought.”

This “war” had indeed vented the unhappiness in Ira’s heart.

“You approve of me handing the army to me to command, and your individual strength is very trustworthy. You don’t need to patiently explain to your colleagues why you used certain tactics in the subsequent battle, nor do you need to report to the Empire before and after the battle.”

As Ira spoke, he looked to be in a really good mood. Before he could finish what he wanted to say, he continued to ramble, “I can use my strength without worry. I don’t have to deliberately give the credit to my colleagues to prevent them from being dissatisfied in the future.”

“You don’t have to patiently stop the burning, killing, and humiliation of the other soldiers to prevent the Empire’s honor from being damaged. You don’t have to worry about your contributions being too great and causing yourself to fall into an irrefutable state…”

Ira, who kept talking, shocked all the surrounding demon leaders who did not understand the twists and turns… They had never thought that a Chief Consul like Ira, who looked to be infinitely glorious on the battlefield, actually needed to consider so many things.

Moreover, he was actually so happy because he had happily fought. He really did not know if he should say that Ira was cuter than he had imagined, or that the framework of the previous empires had indeed made Ira too irritable.

During this period of interaction, everyone already knew that Ira was a very law-abiding person and always insisted on some rules that the people of the Demon King’s Territory did not understand. In the end… did the Empire actually go too far?

“In short…”

As Ira spoke, she made a conclusion that belonged to him and said, “I’ve discovered now that it seems that the Demon King’s Territory is more suitable for me, so I’ve decided to do it freely. Is that fine?”

“…”

“…”

In the solemn silence, including the quiet fairies, everyone had an inexplicable feeling. Now, the moment Ira said this might become a key moment in the history books.

They would all be witnesses to history.

“Lord Ira, are you finally going to make up your mind?” Celina asked.

“Yes, next, I won’t ask or ask for instructions… I’ll participate in the operation of the warship called the [Demon King’s Territory]. I’ll quickly advance in a direction you probably can’t understand.”

As Ira said this, he actually did not know if he could change his habit of asking for instructions. He said half-seriously and half-jokingly, “If one day you think that I or the Demon King’s Territory have lost control, don’t feel regret~”

This was because everyone had promised Ira a huge authority now. Although he had the confidence that he would not lose himself because he did not obtain benefits but the freedom to really do whatever he wanted, no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.

No one could make up their minds after hearing Ira’s words. At this moment, the others looked at Satan Leaf. They usually did not ask the Demon King for instructions, but now, they hoped to see his response.

“Mr. Ira, don’t worry, just do it! I won’t regret it!”

As Satan Leaf said this, the smiling Ira seemed to overlap with another figure with scarlet wings stretched out behind him in her eyes… He was clearly the person who had killed her father, but now he looked more like a qualified father.

Satan Leaf, who had illusions, gently closed her eyes. Her tail swung happily, slapping the back of the headless warhorse with a crisp sound. She chuckled and promised, “The Demon King’s Territory has long lost a lot. If there’s anything else to lose, it can only be…”

“To throw away the shackles.”
