Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 181
The God of Darkness was destroyed, and the first and second priests of the Serpentis were confirmed to be dead. Their patriarch had been a puppet for a long time, so he had a lot of problems with political and military control. Usually, he only needed to listen to the priest, but now that something had happened, he could not adapt to it.
The Serpentis could still hold on for a while, but it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
They had spent too long in the sea without communication with other races, and there were no threats from other races (Cracken was different from other races), so they did not know how to live in peace with other races. Under the leadership of the old priest and the God of Darkness, they had made enemies with too many races. Previously, they had people backing them up, and they were caught off guard. At first, they tasted a lot of benefits, but now that all their backers were dead, and the other races were gradually coming to their senses, they had no choice but to swallow the consequences of their own actions.
Xu Jun lamented that war was always done by the people above, and the people below were unlucky. The Serpentis did not do many bad things, but they had to die with them.
He always thought of weak and stupid things at times like this. If it was in the past, the Demon King would have laughed at the hero's foolish kindness. But now, Roschinke could not help but pat his head to comfort him. "… Since you don't want to participate in this kind of war, let's just stay away."
Not only Xu Jun, but he also did not want to participate.
Publicly and privately, he had done a lot as the Demon King. Resisting the invasion of darkness was the responsibility of all races in the world. It was not his alone, and he did not want to be a hero.
He had defeated the God of Darkness, which had gilded his dark reputation. This might have been part of Seur's plan. After he found that he could not resist the God of Darkness, he used the last of his life to sacrifice himself. Of course, Roschinke could not let him down.
Everything was for the continuation of the demon race, so that the demon race could gain a foothold on Fidelinopolis.
Because of this, he could not continue to use his power to suppress the Serpentis. Instead, he sent a demon army to support the humans and other races and began their expedition.
That way, the demons would suffer casualties, but the survivors would be able to hold their heads high and claim that they were part of Fidelinopolis.
As for the humans and other races, they couldn't find a good reason to fight against the demons for the time being. The good reputation of fighting against the God of Darkness together would protect the demons for at least ten years.
Of course, in these ten years, there would still be small border frictions. There would still be conflicts between some small forces. However, both sides would not be able to make an issue out of these matters.
As time went by, the demons would gradually lose their bad reputation as "creatures of hell", and they would be able to stand under the sun openly.
How many more years would it take?
Ten years?
A hundred years?
One day, he and Xu Jun would be able to witness such a magnificent scene together.
Roschinke played the role of authority dog for once. He did not immediately return to the Dark Abyss to preside over matters, and instead had the Ice Lord return to work.
He didn't know how the Ice Lord felt, but if he were to let the Ice Lord travel with him and Xu Jun … he would probably be in a worse mood.
That was why he had his subordinates return first. Your Majesty The Demon King has always been so magnanimous.
After sending the (evil mother-in-law) Ice Lord away, Roschinke began to think about what he had been thinking about before, which was proposing to Xu Jun.
Although the demons didn't have the luxury to hold a grand wedding right now, and he wasn't in the mood to hold a celebration, it was always good to establish a relationship first.
… Especially since it seemed like Xu Jun's popularity was getting better and better, and he was attracting more and more mystical creatures …
Putting aside the group of Orcs that came out of nowhere, Xu Jun even wanted to transplant the dark plants here!
Well, the reason given by the hero was very reasonable. He believed that these plants that should have lived in hell for a long time should have different attributes than in hell. Perhaps their juices could be used to make new types of potions.
Xu Jun always had the spirit of research. To him, alchemy and potions were as trustworthy as his own strength, and they had saved his life many times. Now that he had such a good research subject, how could he leave these plants here?
So in the past few days, Xu Jun had already communicated with the plants. If there was a chance to leave, he would take them with him, but he would need them to provide him with their juices for later research.
The plants were just ignorant, but they weren't really stupid. Their biological instincts urged them to quickly leave this place where the dark energy was dense but not pure. When they heard Xu Jun say that he would take them to the Dark Abyss, the plants' tentacles trembled.
Loxienk was already very dissatisfied with these unrestrained and stupid plants. When he saw a plant monster with thick tentacles actually using its tentacles to wrap around Xu Jun's waist, his dissatisfaction almost turned into flames that could be spat out of him.
But his dissatisfaction was of no use. _ (: 3) ∠) _
When he left, he even wanted to help Xu Jun take these plants. He also watched as Xu Jun and the Beastmen high-fived each other and swore, "I will definitely take you to a safe place."
Xu Jun probably didn't know that these Beastmen didn't want to go to a safe place. They just wanted to follow Xu Jun!
This group of orcs should have been captured by the Sea Serpent Clan. They were young, and their vitality was relatively strong, but their strength was not strong. Their clansmen had all been made into slaves like walking corpses or were already dead. If they were left alone, they might not even be able to leave the Sea Serpent Clan's territory.
And it was useless even if they left. With their current strength, they couldn't even establish their own tribe.
In the end, he could only bring them along. The Demon King comforted himself: These people won't be able to do anything. They will be Xu Jun's subordinates in the future.
Even though he despised them, he still brought them to this place.
However, the following scene often appeared:
The Demon King put one hand on Hero's shoulder and told him not to look back. His other hand swept behind him, creating a silent gust of wind that swept the group of orcs behind him to the ground, making them roll on the ground like a group of gourds.
The Demon King didn't ask Xu Jun to ride him, so Jess, who was on the verge of losing his job, was speechless.
The unicorn man curled his lips: What kind of morals does this Demon King have? Does he really think that he likes to get close to Xu Jun's butt?
Slander!
Pure slander!
He, a noble unicorn, would never do such a thing!
What was even more infuriating was that Xu Jun, who had been saying "You are my most trustworthy companion" along the way, was coaxed by the Demon King and forgot about him!
Did he forget about his trustworthy companion the moment his love came?!
However, although he was angry, his anger was mostly cured by these Beastmen when he turned around.
Compared to him, these Beastmen were the unlucky ones.
As an Beastman himself, he understood these unlucky "compatriots" better than Xu Jun, because he knew what these Beastmen were thinking.
Xu Jun thought that the Beastmen were victims, and these unlucky children who were almost sacrificed were pitiful children who deserved sympathy. He also thought that it wasn't good to leave these Beastmen teenagers here, so he wanted to take them to a safe place.
As for why these Beastmen didn't want to stay on the Golden Grassland and wanted to go further away with Xu Jun, the heroic Hero found a good excuse. "They must have been badly frightened, and they are still young. Their clansmen might have already died … It's normal for them to want to leave the Golden Grassland."
To this, Jess only wanted to say one thing: Naive!
Beastmen were naturally stronger than humans. Things that could crush humans were nothing to Beastmen, especially in the Golden Grassland.
This was especially true for the orcs living in the Golden Grassland. They were born strong and would never leave the land that had nurtured their tribe just because they were "frightened" or "sad". There were only two reasons why they wanted to follow Xu Jun. First, their tribe had done evil with the Sea Serpents, which made it impossible for them to live in the Golden Grassland. Second, they were attracted to Xu Jun's power and strength. They wanted him to become their leader and form a new tribe in the future.
There were even two female Beastmen who didn't know that Xu Jun had a partner at first, but they still tried to flatter him just to make sure that they wouldn't be left behind.
Who said that Beastmen were fools?
In a place like the Golden Grassland, how many of them were fools?
Xu Jun was probably the only one who was naive. He didn't feel anything when the two female Beastmen stayed by his side every day. After that, when the Demon King came, they didn't even dare to approach him. He even joked to the Demon King, "Why do you scare the girls away when you come?"
Jess didn't even want to recall how ferocious the Demon King's face was at that moment.
The Demon King should have known this very well. He was obviously unhappy with the Beastmen, and even more so when he looked at the female Beastmen. But he didn't do anything other than occasionally intimidate the Beastmen.
… Oh, and there were also the petty actions of sweeping the Beastmen away.
Xu Jun and Roschinke didn't even go back to Randal. They took a big detour and went directly to a "Demon City" in the west of the Dark Abyss.
Xu Jun's family members, housekeepers, and maids were also to be sent there. This task … was ultimately handed over to the Ice Lord, and the Ice Lord sent the Demon King's guard, Bolai, to do it.
The Ice Lord Vize was almost gnashing his teeth. "His Majesty said to bring the family members and servants back."
Bolai asked, "Whose family members and servants are they?"
The Ice Lord: "… His Majesty and Xu Jun's."
Bolai: "…"
Motherf * cker was caught off guard.
After that, Bolai led the demon army back to the capital. He could only carefully let Rance, Steamed Bun, and the others sit in the middle carriage and escort them all the way back. He was really afraid that if he accidentally lost them, His Majesty would kill him without his family members and servants.
He also deliberately wandered around in front of the "family members and servants" every day in order to leave a good impression, so that in the future, they would say a few good words in front of Your Majesty The Demon King … and Xu Jun the Brave.
However, this was of no use for the time being, because when they all arrived at the Dark Abyss, they learned that Your Majesty The Demon King and his Brave … were still on the road.
It turned out that they weren't going home, but were on a honeymoon!
The author has something to say: There is one last chapter.
