Luo Ze Empire Capital.
Emperor Klaroci sat in the office, handling various state affairs, while ministers continuously reported the situation on various fronts to him.
The Demon Clan had remained inactive for a long time, requiring vigilance against their attacks.
Unexpectedly, the first news reaching Klaroci wasn’t of renewed attacks by the Demon Clan, but of their retreat on all fronts.
At the same time, there came a sudden contact from Yang Yu.
Facing this benefactor who indirectly helped him ascend, Klaroci paid particular attention and promptly had the liaison officer connect the communication.
Seeing Yang Yu’s face, Klaroci eagerly anticipated the good news Yang Yu might bring.
Although Yang Yu was already the strongest person in this world, he remained courteous when facing the Royal Family, explaining the situation in detail.
"...In short.
That’s the situation.
The Demon King has been defeated by the Hero. The Evil Dragon has also been completely cleared by the adventure group.
When leaving the United Expeditionary Force, I instructed the [Dragon God’s Might] members to properly handle the Evil Dragon’s corpse, so there’s no need to worry about the resurrected Goblin Emperor reemerging.
Yet, considering the value of the Evil Dragon itself, even without my special instructions, adventurers will find ways to dispose of the Evil Dragon’s body.
The Demon King is dead, and the demon army has no reason to fight, hence they have begun retreating from the continent, returning to the Demon World.
To avoid unnecessary casualties, there’s no need to pursue too aggressively, lest they are cornered.
However, one must not be complacent, some units should be dispatched to cautiously follow the retreating Demon King Army.
If some demons stay behind and threaten public safety, they should be immediately dealt with.
I know there are issues you want to inquire about in detail, but I still need to contact the leaders of other countries.
Please forgive me, dear Emperor. Later, I will provide you with a detailed account."
After saying what needed to be said, Yang Yu ended the communication upon Klaroci’s approval.
Klaroci, reliant on the support of the people to become the new emperor, naturally prioritized the safety of the populace, so Yang Yu was temporarily unconcerned about the situation in Luo Ze Empire.
The Wansheng Republic, Tran Republic, both governed by old acquaintances, Yang Yu directly explained the situation, convincing them without much effort.
The most challenging was the Sethis Kingdom, where many expressed doubts, but fortunately, Yang Yu’s eloquence eventually convinced them.
...At least, outwardly convinced them.
As Yang Yu narrated the situation, the King of Sethis kept a furrowed brow, deeply troubled.
Once Yang Yu finished speaking, the King of Sethis immediately inquired about the Heroic Party and told Yang Yu about his and his daughter’s loss of contact, hoping Yang Yu could ask Vorquis about his daughter’s whereabouts if he met him.
After pondering briefly, Yang Yu replied, "If I can meet Vorquis again, I will help inquire.
Please ensure to carry out what he instructed, Your Majesty.
The Hero didn’t want people from different worlds to become entangled, which was why such dangerous actions were taken to swiftly end this war.
Don’t take victory for granted.
Last time the Demon King descended upon this world, some individuals constantly obstructed the Demon Clan’s departure, bringing calamity instead.
I hope the Sethis Kingdom won’t repeat the same mistake."
The slightly aged Aite Sethis nodded solemnly, agreeing to Yang Yu’s appeal.
A King can only lead by issuing orders.
The outcome depends on execution.
There still exists slave trade in this world; some may choose to take risks for huge profit.
Yang Yu can’t ensure every demon clan member can safely retreat, nor can he guarantee that no demon clan member will harm ordinary people.
But at least, Yang Yu can use the current contacts to somewhat remind each nation’s king of the necessity to be vigilant while having no intention to harm.
The Chief Commander in the temporary command center saw Yang Yu skillfully exchange views with various kingdom heads and ultimately chose to completely trust Yang Yu.
Before the Chief Commander’s orders arrived, Ammonval and Black Diamond Lorne, stationed on the other side of the Demon King City, had also contacted many units to arrange their retreat.
Yang Yu also contacted the Four Heavenly Kings.
Ammonval and Black Diamond Lorne consistently ensured the Gate of Darkness was fully open, wary of sudden enemy ambushes.
When they received Yang Yu’s contact, they weren’t very surprised, yet very surprised.
Not surprised because the magic fluctuation in the Demon King City abruptly stopped, indicating the outcome was decided, someone among Yang Yu or Lox survived; surprised because Yang Yu managed to contact them so calmly.
Although Black Diamond Lorne and Ammonval sensed deception, they listened intently to Yang Yu’s words from start to finish.
"Why should we trust you?"
Black Diamond Lorne, reuniting with Ammonval, wore a stern face, regardless of not knowing if it was Yang Yu who defeated their Demon King, he equated this matter accordingly.
Yang Yu didn’t continue the topic of trust, casually stating, "I can only do what I’m capable of, I can’t guarantee the outcome.
This isn’t my decision alone. I only hope too many don’t perish in this war.
That’s all.
It’s understandable if you don’t trust me as an enemy.
It’s likely just seeing me makes you gnash your teeth in anger, wishing to tear me to pieces.
Frankly speaking, in the future, we might still be enemies.
No need to show mercy then."
"What are you scheming?" Black Diamond Lorne sensed Yang Yu’s actions wouldn’t stop here, "Do you really want to liberate the goddess? I absolutely won’t allow it!"
"Feel free to stop us if you wish.
I’ve said pretty much everything.
A final piece of advice: don’t make unnecessary sacrifices.
Our way of interacting isn’t limited to conflict alone."
Having finished, Yang Yu had the Chief Commander disconnect the communication, leaving the command center without looking back to reunite with his allies.
After resting briefly, Yang Yu gazed at the white key in the system interface.
This white key leads to Hero Lox’s secret stronghold, perhaps hiding some Evil Dragon offspring and demons, potentially becoming new threats, an opportunity must be found to completely eliminate them.
Actually, Yang Yu wanted to convey this news to the giant dragons early and get some tasks from them to ensure all companions have the best equipment.
But considering the possibility of alerting the enemy by revealing plans prematurely, Yang Yu decided to wait a few days until most matters are settled, then re-contact the [Dragon God’s Might].
Continuous battles have left everyone in the team mentally and physically exhausted, and this state isn’t suitable for strategizing complex Underground Mazes.
