Volume 10, Chapter 45: Pitiful Abyss
Although the Great Demon King said outside that we would be drinking tea, it’s actually tea bags. While I don’t actually care, shouldn’t you be taking care of your image as Demon King? And why are you using packaged teas?
“I personally prefer to drink green tea, and lots of it. I had some people who were attending to me so I asked them make some teabags.
I watched the Demon King take a bag of green tea from her personal storage and began to wonder just how many teabags she had inside of her ring.
I don’t care about that though. I personally prefer to drink colas, but there aren’t any.
“So what exactly is the situation?”
Bai Yueguang asked just as the hot water had been poured into the teapot.
It seems that he really wanted to rush through the event. I don’t know why though.
Speaking of which, his abilities come from being half ghost. Is he more belligerent now that we are in the Abyss?
“Don’t worry.”
The Demon King said as she put the lid on the teapot.
“That guy is facing down my fourth army corps. Although they are strong, they do have their weaknesses. It isn’t hard to deal with them as long as the appropriate weapons and strategies are used.”
“Ok......”
We could only have faith in the Demon King’s apparent plans.
I’m not good at strategy games after all. I don’t have much skill at micro.
“But their advantages is obvious. They come from the most diverse race amongst angels and demons and they can control life and death. Back when I defeated the previous Demon King they said a bunch of thing including to not let the population of the Undead Holy Angel race become too strong. It seems that those words weren’t completely empty.”
“But you’ve been a good ruler. Shouldn’t the people have faith in you from your leadership? They probably wouldn’t attack you then.”
“Well......that’s true. But there are some people that don’t like the style of my work, especially some of the older demons. Some of the demons that survived from the period of the previous Demon King are dissatisfied with my expansive transformation of the Abyss and lived in the depths of their unchanged territories. The counterattack of the Undead Holy Angels gave them the opportunity to attack as well.”
“Does this complicate their forces?”
“Well, 666 Undead Holy Angels, ten thousand Werewolves, 3000 liches, 500 Dark Giants, 5000 Zombie Archers. There is all sorts of different combat abilities.”
The Demon King poured the tea and looked back up at us.
“Please. This is the best tea I could find in the Abyss. I hope you enjoy it.”
“Thanks......”
I was passed the tea, but I silently put it down when I saw that it was slightly purple.
“They shouldn’t have a large number of people though, right?”
“Well, although they don’t have that many people their combat abilities are quite high. First of all they have numerous battle hardened demons, a bunch of old geezers. Plus the Undead Holy Angels can heal the demons, which makes them much more effective in combat.”
“Is that so?”
I gave a laugh. I was very clear on their abilities. I was an Undead Holy Angel after all.
Part of my special powers at that time were efficient healing powers, efficient necromancy, and the ability to fly. They all made Undead Holy Angels effective in combat.
Could they be considered to be a bug amongst the demons? Is that part of the reason they were suppressed?
“So there’s a lot of resentment in addition to the Undead Holy Angels? Bursting out after being saved up for all of this time should be putting a lot of pressure on your army.”
“More than a lot, they were scared to death.”
The Demon King laughed.
“It had been peaceful for so long. They were dazzled the first time they saw the legions suppressing the borders. The last war between demons was 50 years ago, and they don’t have any experience of the war with Heaven. Most of the guards only started working in the last few decades so it’s normal for them to be so shocked at this situation.”
“Is that so? How many cities have been attacked?”
“They are still deadlocked in the first city.”
“Eh?”
“I immediately had the citizens of the first city retreat into the second city and activated the first city’s combat protocol with the third and fourth legions controlling the city’s defense mechanisms on either side of the city.”
“......”
I began to pity those Undead Holy Angels.
“Are you planning to build a third combat city?”
“I had originally planned on doing that but I found that the technology couldn’t keep up.”
It’s good that it wasn’t able to keep up. Would you be trying to build a Gundam if it did?
“So that means that they are still standing off in the first city? Should we go and join in?”
Aliyah immediately asked.
“I was also thinking that.”
Tai Shixi nodded.
You guys are really aggressive. Have you been doping with a bunch of stimulants?
Should I get someone to prescribe you some tranquilizers before you tear down the Abyss?
“Well, I was going over there for inspections today. You guys can drop by.”
Do you say what ever you want as the Demon King?
Do you just sit in the back, drinking tea, regardless of what happens to your army?
Although I’m definitely the same.
“Eh?”
A figure suddenly appeared behind the Demon King. If I remember correctly, it’s Greed-chan that brought us in here.
I saw that while she was whispering to the Demon King, she shivered in disgust and looked at me. Can these demons read minds?
“Allright. The forces of the Undead Holy Angels have appeared on the battlefield. Why don’t you come and enjoy the fireworks.”
The Demon King said that happily for some reason.
I suddenly got the feeling that the entire Abyss was pitiful.
