Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Sol Rott did not hesitate and accepted the Old Dragon King’s request.

The Old Dragon King then turned his gaze onto Yang Yu and the others. Originally, the hero defeating the Demon King was also a part of human history. As the leader of the Giant Dragon Council, he should not waste much time on this, but after hearing Sol Rott’s words, the Old Dragon King’s heart was somewhat shaken.

To tell the truth, even though the giant dragons have exceptionally powerful strength, they are, at their core, humans.

Back then, the Oath Taker feared the dragons would fight among themselves. By ruling the world with extremely strong methods, he wiped out all traces of the Luka Civilization from the river of history, and only then made such an oath with the dragons.

The oath was not perfect.

When the oath was made, the Oath Taker inadvertently overlooked the point that dragons were human too. He probably did not anticipate that the existence of magic power would magnify the differences between humans.

Even after all this time, humans have still not obtained any inheritance from the dragons.

Some dragons wish to help humans obtain inheritance, but because of their dragon identities, they have to give up.

If there were a way for dragons to seal their power and walk the world in human form, perhaps they could spread their thoughts and ideas.

This somewhat feels like exploiting a loophole in the rules.

But dragons must also rethink, ”Is it always so, and thus right?”

The Old Dragon King wanted to ask how Yang Yu and the others persuaded Sol Rott, what feelings they had when defeating Lux, but ultimately did not speak on this matter, instead turning to commend Yang Yu and the others for their heroic performance in the Evil Dragon War.

Yang Yu smiled and accepted most of the praise, and then cleverly shifted most of the credit to the adventurers present.

The Old Dragon King smiled contentedly:

”In any case, thank you once again for your actions.

If it weren’t for you, who knows when the Evil Dragon could be defeated.

Perhaps it would take causing great trouble in this world before there would be a chance to stop it.

Who knows how many innocent people would be caught up in it.”

After saying the nice things, Yang Yu scratched his ear, ”I was just being polite. Don’t think too highly of me. If you want to thank us, show some sincerity quickly, I’m eager to pick some good stuff.”

Hei Luo waved his hand towards Yang Yu, and the familiar selection screen appeared once again in front of Yang Yu.

Similar screens also appeared one by one in front of the other S-Class adventure group leaders.

This time the prize wasn’t substantial Legendary Equipment, but just as when Yang Yu won the Dragon God Conference, it was a points reward. Redeem whatever prize you wish with the points.

Since the prize pool is shared, and some Legendary Equipment is unique, it tests the decision-making abilities of the S-Class adventure group leaders.

Having chosen many times with such a screen before, Yang Yu skillfully selected the majority of the equipment and tools he wanted before most people realized what was happening.

The treasure box containing the prizes was quickly delivered to Yang Yu and the others.

Confirming the treasures inside the treasure box were accurate, Yang Yu exchanged greetings with the adventure group and the Old Dragon King.

Briefly talking about what happened in the center of Demon King City, Yang Yu took his companions and immediately went to search Demon King City.

This half of Demon King City also had the Demon Clan’s command center. If messages could be sent from here, it should be possible to organize the retreat of the Demon Clan army back to the Demon World piece by piece, allowing a temporary ceasefire between this world and the Demon World.

Yang Yu had already begun to consider how to persuade the heads of various nations not to obstruct the retreat of the Demon Clan.

One must speak entirely from the standpoint of this world, only then will the nations not prove their greatness by crusading against the retreating Demon Clan army.

Originally, Yang Yu intended to disclose the matter of placing Gao Yuanyi as the Demon King, but considering that Gao Yuanyi might still need to head to the Demon World, Yang Yu planned to wait until Gao Yuanyi inherited the scattered Devil King’s Power before utilizing his identity.

With the keen sense of smell of Lotcar, Yang Yu and the others easily found the makeshift command center.

The Demon Clan command center had already become a mess due to the defeat of the Demon King. They used various instruments and the signal towers set up by the Demon Clan to communicate with their forces fighting around the world, ordering them to quickly retreat from various battlefronts and consider their strategy afresh.

The Chief Commander had a hoarse voice from repeatedly issuing commands and explaining the circumstances, making one feel extremely sympathetic, but he continued to work tirelessly for his compatriots.

Even when Yang Yu unexpectedly appeared in the command center, the Chief Commander did not notice right away.

Noticing the slow pace of his colleagues’ speech and the growing quiet, the Chief Commander turned his head slightly angrily, intending to ask what they were doing, as every second now could decide the life or death of their troops.

As he turned his head, the Chief Commander saw Yang Yu sitting by the conference table, sipping tea.

Sweat poured down from the Chief Commander’s forehead like rain. Though he hadn’t seen Lux defeat their Demon King, he knew of Yang Yu and the others’ victory over Lux.

Such a powerful man, sitting leisurely in front of them drinking tea, surely spells no good!

Quickly, the Chief Commander expended his mental energy to telepathically connect with all his subordinates present, instructing them to destroy this room at once in the event of an emergency, ensuring that Yang Yu can’t use these instruments to interfere with the troop’s retreat and cause their collapse.

Yang Yu calmly put down his teacup and said:

”You’ve been working hard, please continue your work.

If your throat is sore, I have medicine here that can relieve your throat pain.

No need to be in such a panic, I’m not here to stop you. Quite the opposite, what you are doing now is exactly what I want to do.”

The Chief Commander stared at Yang Yu incredulously, half-believing his words, mustering the courage to ask:

”What exactly are you plotting?

We won’t fall for it!

If you try any tricks, I’ll destroy this room immediately!”

Yang Yu, at ease, replied: ”Do you think I am incapable of killing you all before you act?

I am the one who defeated the Demon King; taking your lives is as easy as pie.

There’s simply no need to sit here leisurely sipping tea.”

The Chief Commander, considering Yang Yu’s words, found the logic sound and asked:

”Then, why do you want us to retreat? I want to hear your reason!”

Yang Yu picked up his teacup, ordered another cup of black tea from a nearby server, and said casually:

”I just wanted to tell you that this war is over.

I don’t know if you have the time to listen to an outrageous story.

Once you hear my story, you might understand why I don’t want to stop you.”

The Chief Commander had no choice but to say forthrightly:

”I’m willing to hear it all.”
