The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

"No, if you rush forward, a battle will definitely break out. Besides, do you see those little dots in the sky in the distance?"

At this moment, Elena pointed to something in the sky that looked like a small dot and quickly said...

"Hmm... I can see some."

"Those should be the Demon King's scouts. Once you fly over there, you will definitely be exposed, and naturally, this army of hundreds of thousands will launch an attack on you. At that time, even you will find it difficult to escape the attack of so many Demon King soldiers."

"That's right..."

Since Elena has considered everything so thoroughly, there is indeed no need for me to investigate for the time being.

Because there are too many aerial scouts... As for me, my Wings of Light are also the kind of wings that glow, so they can't do any good reconnaissance at night, making it especially easy for me to be exposed.

Therefore, Elena's consideration is indeed appropriate; it's best not to get involved in this matter for now.

However, I was genuinely worried that this large force was indeed marching towards the Kingdom of Edela, the location of Louise and General Edson.

If this attack continues, I think it won't be long before it's breached.

However, even if we force our way in, it won't make a difference, so we can only wait and see what happens when we finally get there.

As the flames of the Demon King's army gradually receded into the distance, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Demon King's army's true purpose wasn't to come here, so our banquet tonight will still proceed as planned.

Therefore, it is safe for the time being...

After we had a good meal and rested for a night, it was time for us to continue our journey.

Since we don't know what this Demon King's army is planning to do, I think it's best to reunite with Louise and General Edson as soon as possible.

If they've already clashed, then it would be a good idea for us to launch a surprise attack now.

While we can't say we can achieve a complete victory, catching the enemy off guard would be quite good.

However, riding on Binlabella's dragon back now would be too conspicuous, so from now on we'll start riding in Xiongwanla's carriage and speeding towards the Kingdom of Edra.

Along the way, we encountered several waves of demon army attacks on the village. Sure enough, it wasn't just this one village that was attacked, but multiple villages. Naturally, in order to ensure the safety of the villagers, we had to get off the vehicle and help fight.

Seriously, we've fought at least four waves, and we're all completely exhausted. If it weren't for the energy potion Wenya developed, haha, I feel like I would have fallen asleep right there in the bear car.

And so, it was already late, and we were traveling through a forest instead of the mainland. Most importantly, it was a moonless day (there was no moon in the sky), and we were still some distance from the capital city of Adela. Therefore, we had no choice but to camp in the wild today.

Because I know that there are no inns or post stations around the capital city of Edela, which is why it's not as good as the Dwarf Kingdom or the Kingdom of the Beginning.

Perhaps it's because there are a lot of wild beasts and monsters around. Even if we build inns and hotels, we're afraid that when we wake up, our mounts or livestock will be gone, which would be terrible.

Therefore, it is still necessary to regularly clear out monsters around the Royal City of Edela; these are issues that will need to be addressed in the future.

Otherwise, if you're always camping in the open, you're bound to encounter attacks from wild animals and monsters.

Along the way, I did see many monsters and wild beasts hiding behind trees, watching us menacingly.

However, they dared not act rashly.

Because I have Xiaobai and Angelize from the Gray Wolf God clan by my side, and also Binlabella from the Red Dragon clan.

Because they are only hunting for survival, they will not make unnecessary sacrifices to attack us.

Therefore, it might be watching us to ensure its own safety.

It seems the monsters and beasts here are quite intelligent.

However, it suddenly occurred to me that this explains why the Kingdom of Sophie and the Kingdom of Edra have never been seen trading with each other... This is actually a very big problem.

Neither side seems willing to deal with the problem of monsters in the surrounding area, which has led to the proliferation of wild beasts and monsters, and the two countries have remained in a neutral state.

This may be why the Demon King's army and the Black Dragon God took advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack on the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of Edela, causing such a great disaster.

Sigh, as expected, you have to think things through comprehensively... Even the slightest mistake can be fatal.

And so, it wasn't until noon the next day that we finally arrived near the capital of Adela and prepared to enter the city.

Chapter 42 Mantis King Obaba

Sure enough, the cities of the Kingdom of Adela have completely lost their former majesty.

The city gates, which were originally heavily guarded and so secure that not even a fly could get through, were now half-open, and not a single soldier could be seen outside.

This is not normal at all.

And right now, this is the time when the flow of people entering the city is at its peak, because it's basically after lunchtime... But now, you can't see a single person anywhere.

It seems that the Kingdom of Adela was indeed as badly damaged as that blurry black and white photograph, so much so that it has not been repaired to this day.

So, where have all those hundreds of thousands of residents in the royal city gone...?

It's impossible that everyone went to seek refuge... There are still some people bustling around on the streets.

Moreover, this location is far from the Royal City Academy and has not been affected at all.

There's only one possibility then, and that is...

"Everyone, get out of the car!"

At that moment, I shouted and kicked open the door of the bear car. Then, I grabbed Lila's arm and pulled her down first, as she was closest to me.

Actually, I have a general understanding of Lila's reaction speed; compared to everyone else present, her reaction was indeed a bit slower.

However, with me by her side, at least I can make up for her shortcomings.

Otherwise, if it affects other people getting off the bus, there might actually be injuries or fatalities.

Actually, the moment I entered the city, I felt as if I was being watched by something.

And I could feel an incredibly powerful magical force gathering right there in the air.

Just as we all got off the bear-drawn carriage pulled by Xiongwan, we heard a very crisp "clang" sound, and then a sharp blade slashed straight through the carriage.

However, this sturdy carriage was personally made by the Gray Wolf God and was under his protection, so it was not cut in two.

"Wow, I didn't expect these monkeys to react so quickly."

At that moment, a voice that was neither male nor female reached our ears.

When I looked up, I discovered that she was a green-looking mantis, and her two hands were indeed two sharp scythes.

And this guy clearly couldn't be human, but he didn't look like an orc at all.

Could it be that there are insect-people in this world...?

Heh, impossible. Then this is obviously a member of the Demon King's army. And I can see that she has something tied to her slender waist that is the same as the elite deputy general of the Demon King's army that I defeated last time. However, this one is silver, while the one I defeated before was bronze.

"Who are they, and why are they attacking us?"

At that moment, I released Lila's arm, placed my hand on my waist, and immediately assumed an attack stance, staring intently at the mantis flying in the air.

"Why did I attack you? Hahahaha, that's laughable. I am the twentieth star of the twenty-two stars of the Demon King's army, the Mantis King Obaba. I haven't seen any prey in a long time. Since that's the case, none of you will escape. You will all die here!!!"

It seems there's no way to negotiate with this guy... we have no choice but to fight.

By the way, what the heck is this Demon King Army with 22 stars?

I've never heard of this before... and it's so cringeworthy!

Could it be that they are the twenty-two quasi-demon kings who are branches under the Demon King?

Next up are the Demon King's lieutenants...

Because, judging from its silver badge, its strength is definitely above that of the Demon King's lieutenants.

Perhaps, the guy I killed before who controlled the abyssal dragon wasn't a demon king at all, but just one of these so-called twenty-two-star quasi-demon kings...

Sure enough, there are quite a few powerful individuals among the demons...

Take this guy in front of me, for example; his strength is definitely immense.

I can sense it just by feeling it.

That said, I've discovered something.

Demons don't seem to need incantations when casting magic, but why do humans need incantations when casting high-level magic...?

Alas, no wonder humanity is always suppressed by the Demon King's army; there's a reason for it.

However, my father, Emperor I, was an anomaly among humans. He developed a unique technique that did not require chanting magic, which is why he was stronger than the Demon King and had never been defeated.

However, the human population is usually limited, while the Demon King's army numbers in the hundreds of millions. If this continues, even if the Kingdom of the Beginning has strong defenses, it is only a matter of time before it falls.

Therefore, we should now begin to address the necessary branches.

Actually, after I left the village, I suddenly realized that leaving so many Demon King army camps would definitely pose a threat, so I sent Binlabella to eliminate the remaining Demon King army camps and the camps of the Demon King army's elite forces.

Actually, you don't need to breathe fire; a single, charged fire breath is enough.

However, the elite camp of the Demon King's army naturally needed to use breath attacks; otherwise, the elite deputy general of the Demon King's army would certainly not have died.

However, there is one advantage to having Bin La Bella carry out the attack: no one knows who did it.

At best, it can only be considered a disaster beyond one's control, and ultimately it can only be left unresolved.

Because they wouldn't just run off to attack some dragon's lair; that would be something only an extremely foolish person would do.

"Lila Elena, all of you take Kumaru and hide to the side. I'll deal with this guy."

"clear."
