Chapter 318: All-out Retreat
When Alde and the other two were still adventuring in the sewers, far away in the capital of the Subia Demon Kingdom.

In the audience room of the palace, Isaac knelt on one knee.

After leading the defeated army back to Kaimen City, Isaac immediately left the main force behind, changed his horse to a griffin, and rushed back to the capital of the Subia Demon Kingdom as quickly as possible.

It was not because he was afraid of death, but because he wanted to fulfill his grandfather's last wish.

"Oh, my tiger is gone..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On the throne, the demon king Samantha Subia, who looked to be around forty or fifty years old, supported her forehead with her hand, with an expression of regret and loneliness on her face.

The Tiger of the Kingdom exists not only as a battle-hardened general, but also as a hero and a role model.

The military strength of the Subia Demon Kingdom was originally the weakest among the surrounding demon kingdoms. It was once beaten by other demon kingdoms including the Avarus Demon Kingdom to the point of ceding territory and paying compensation.

The one who turned all this around was the Tiger of the Kingdom.

With his superb command skills and fearless courage, he brought a militarily weak country to the same level as other demon kingdoms, and was a hero praised by the people.

But now this hero has fallen, on foreign land.

This day would come sooner or later, and the Demon King Samantha was mentally prepared. If this joint military operation was not too important, he would not have sent out the Kingdom's Tiger, who was already in his octogenarian years.

He wanted to expand his territory and gain supremacy in the coalition. Perhaps it was the arrogance of the Subiya clan that finally pushed the Tiger of the Kingdom to this point.

"Father, I propose a state funeral for the Kingdom Tiger."

Below his left hand, there were two young people sitting, a man and a woman, the son and daughter of the demon king Samantha.

The one who just spoke was Princess Flavia.

She has soft long light pink hair, two round little horns on both sides of her head, and a face with a little baby fat that can really arouse men's desire to protect her.

But this princess is no pushover. She has been competing with her brother Olawale for the right to the throne.

Female demon kings are not particularly rare, but for the sake of future generations, the probability of a male being a demon king is higher.

After all, women need to be pregnant for ten months to have offspring, while men just need to cast a wide net.

Generally, the chance of a female demon king being born is only when the male heir is far less talented than the female heir, but Flavia's brother Olavel is not bad at all.

The open and secret struggles between the two have almost become public in the palace, but the common people outside are still unaware of it.

"Isaac, your grandfather devoted his life to the kingdom. He fought until the very end. As the 22nd Demon King of the Subia Demon Kingdom, I promise you that I will never forget his achievements."

Isaac looked up when he heard this, tears already wet his face, he quickly lowered his head and replied:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

If anyone else had burst into tears in front of the throne, Samantha would have thought it was acting, but she knew Isaac very well. He was like the Tiger of the Kingdom in many ways, especially in the way he expressed his emotions without any affectation.

However, at this time when the king and his subjects were in harmony, an inopportune voice interrupted:
"Father, what should we do with Kaimen City?"

The speaker was Prince Olawale. He had never experienced the time when the Subia Demon Kingdom was bullied. He felt only regret for the death of the Kingdom's Tiger because he lost a powerful warrior, and he did not have too many emotions.

He has the same long pink hair as his sister and his face has many similarities, making the prince look somewhat feminine. The only difference is that the horns on his head are much larger than his sister's.

"I think we should defend with all our strength now and send a message to the other three kingdoms, inviting them to join us in encircling Princess Viola and completely cut off the possibility of the Avarus Demon Kingdom restoring its country."

What he said was true, but saying it at this time would be very depressing.

Demon King Samantha said nonchalantly:
"The Kaimen City has 20,000 defenders, with over 100,000 defeated troops, and solid fortifications. Viola's troops are nothing to be afraid of, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Prince Olawale still wanted to fight for it, but when he saw that his father was already a little unhappy, he shut up tactfully.

"I have lost my tiger, Isaac. I hope you can become the new tiger. As the Demon King, I order you to go back and have a good rest. I still need you to serve the country."

The audience was about to end here. Although he was defeated, the Demon King Samantha did not say a word of blame.

This is the prestige of the Tiger of the Kingdom. If it were someone else, even if they didn’t die, their entire family would be executed.

But at this time, Isaac said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but before leaving, Grandpa said that he needed to report something to Your Majesty."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Isaac wiped away his tears and looked at the guards around him.

Samantha immediately understood:
"You guys step back for now. No one is allowed to come in before I give you my order."

The guards standing on both sides walked out of the audience room in orderly steps without saying a word and sealed the door to prevent anyone from entering.

"Flavia, you should go out too."

"Yes."

Asking Flavia to go out but not asking Olaver to go out also shows that in Samantha's heart, her son is more important as an heir than her daughter.

Flavia was well aware of this. Samantha was not a wise ruler, but she was not a foolish one either. It was true that he liked Flavia very much, but that did not mean that he thought Flavia could be the queen.

Flavia was of course unwilling, but there was nothing she could do now. She could only nod obediently and leave through the main door.

After the door was closed, Isaac knelt on the ground and said:

"Grandpa paid the price with his life just to prove one thing: the Devil God has returned."

"What did you say!"

Samantha, who was originally a little lazy, suddenly stood up from the throne, and even Olawale and the narrator Isaac next to her were quite surprised.

Demon King Samantha has always been nonchalant and has never been as excited as she is now.

"My grandfather told me before he died that Princess Viola released the Demon God. I don't know how she did it, but the legend is no longer just a legend. It has become reality."

"This is impossible, Demon King God, how could it be..."

Samantha panicked, and Isaac added:
"Your Majesty, the fact that our army would be defeated is proof of this. That night, an inexplicable poisonous rain fell from the sky. Flames swept down along with poison. Frogs inexplicably fell from the sky, and the exploding flesh and blood turned the soldiers into mud in agony."

"Is it possible that some powerful wizard is causing trouble?"

Isaac shook his head.

"The magicians in the army have carefully examined it, and they did not find any traces of magic manipulation. The priests, however, sensed a powerful divinity, and the only possibility is divine punishment."

"What else did your grandfather say?"

"Grandfather said that what we are facing is no longer a princess who has been forced into a desperate situation, but a powerful god, a tyrant who will never allow any voice of resistance."

Samantha sat dejectedly on the throne, as if she had aged several years in an instant.

"Father?"

Olawale had also heard of the legend of the Demon God, but it was just a legend.

Just like the popular Monkey King in Journey to the West, no one will take it seriously.

But Samantha's reaction seemed as if she had known for a long time that the Demon God was real, but she just couldn't believe that He had actually returned.

After a while, Samantha regained her spirit:

"Immediately send a message to Kaimen City, requesting all troops to withdraw in an orderly manner and return to the domestic fortress for garrison."

"Doing this would be like giving the Kaimen City to Viola. What are you talking about, father?"

"idiot!"

Samantha suddenly exploded:
"This is no longer a problem that can be solved by the army. Return all the territories of Avarus. Immediately notify the temple in the city and ask them if the gods have responded. We can only rely on other gods to fight against the Demon King!"

His voice was sharp and even trembling, as if he had foreseen an extremely terrifying scene, like a dying person letting out his last desperate sigh...
