I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

The Demon Market was an adjunct area to the Demon King City, existing on its periphery.

Now that the Forbidden Forest, also on the periphery, had been purified, the Demon Market was naturally the next target for cleansing.

From now on, until the Imperial Army was driven away, trade in the Demon Market would be suspended indefinitely.

Standing atop the city wall, made of outer earth and inner bone, Li Yue finally released A Cheng to gaze together at Merea Port, now collapsed to just a clock tower.

They saw that outside the port, where the Forbidden Forest used to be, the Empire had set up a teleportation gate, building a scorched-earth encampment.

The scorched-earth encampment echoed the five fortresses of the Noose, forming a joint operation aimed directly at the Demon King City, their military power at its peak.

Further away, the railway was like a blood vessel from God's Oath City, binding the sphere of influence of the old Papal State with the territory of the Tass Empire, declaring sovereignty over the Chaos Continent.

The gully that the Little Sun had plowed from God's Oath City to the Demon King City not long ago had been filled in.

The Imperial Army was getting serious.

Compared to the Imperial Army, the dilapidated city wall of the Demon King City seemed precarious, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Seven rivers churned in Merea Port, firmly entangling the clock tower until they destroyed it.

"Ha…" But Li Yue couldn't help but laugh.

The entire Merea Port vanished into thin air.

"Hmm! The Demon King City is going to kill them, buzz—" Li Yue used the Voice of Greed, taking a step back to increase the yield of Avarice and Bloodlust.

It was unknown how long it had been, but when the gun barrels cooled down and some magic cannons malfunctioned, the shelling finally stopped.

"Let me interview you, how does the Demon King City itself view this, ha…" Li Yue finally summoned A Cheng, the camera aimed at a chubby body.

"The continent's only Rank 9 Holy Knight, also the Knight Commander of the Holy Path Army! The Glorious Knight! Possessing the power of angels! The Knight's Last Elegy, buzz!" Li Yue chanted Meria's various titles, taking a step back to harvest Avarice and Bloodlust.

The sound of cannon fire drowned out the buzzing of the Bag Demon, flames erupted, and the ground trembled.

The gun muzzles of the scorched-earth encampment formed a line, as if a wall of fire suddenly unfolded in the Demon King City.

"Ha… Here it comes, ha…" Li Yue, through the telescope, saw Qi He's solemn appearance, and inexplicably found it amusing, but had to maintain the demeanor of the City Defense Commander, suppressing it with difficulty.

"Protect!" The knights of the Holy Path Army also shouted in response, their voices shaking the soul.

"Hmm—it seems this isn't the Holy Path Army left behind by the old Papal State! They have no faith…" Li Yue began to write articles around the Holy Path Army that had newly appeared in the eyes of the demons.

"I am attacking the Demon King City—the Forbidden Forest has already become a human settlement, and the Demon Market is also suspended indefinitely due to the Empire's attack—"

Finally, Qi He and the Holy Path Army realized that the City Defense Commander did not seem to be affected by the head of the Demon Wolf King.

They stopped watching the Bag Demon's performance and, without any extra nonsense, directly ordered an attack.

A large number of magic cannons were erected in the encampment, aimed at the city wall of the Demon King City; the sappers, like ants, were busy between the cannon formations, loading ammunition and adjusting angles, waiting for Qi He's order to fire.

But for Qi He, this war was his last chance.

Qi He certainly did not know that he had no intention of confronting him on the city wall, but instead invested most of his resources in advancing his rank and researching two major killing weapons…

For Li Yue, this war was just a facade.

Although there were some pits and bumps, the bone matter reconnected, slowly healing to its original shape.

"Look! How insignificant the Glorious Knight is! He annihilated the Seventh Army of the Expeditionary Force! He protected humanity, buzz…" Li Yue continued to incite the emotions of humans and demons, and the double swords quickly dripped blood.

Meria's original intention, of course, was to establish his prestige with the head of the Demon Wolf King, but Li Yue had long known that Fentus was about to die, even hoping that he would die sooner, so he was not shocked at all.

"Look, this is the Imperial Army's artillery formation, how magnificent, how terrifying, ha—" Along with A Cheng's explanation, the live camera turned to the scorched-earth encampment.

On the Demon King City wall, a large number of Aberrant Eyes floated up.

An endless earthquake.

It was estimated that after the vanguard army was wiped out, the Empire still had the confidence to directly go all-in, as if afraid that the Demon King City still had a backhand.

The shock belonged to the demons and humans—the soaring Avarice and Bloodlust were proof.

"Pay attention! That is the Holy Knight of the Holy Path Army, Meria!" Li Yue obtained the composition of the Holy Path Army from the demon merchants, and knew that the continent's only remaining Holy Knight was named Meria.

"Start the broadcast!" Li Yue conveyed the message to Xin Xin, forcibly advancing the arena's live broadcast—humans and demons were looking forward to seeing the direction of this war, and Li Yue certainly would not let go of such a good opportunity to earn Avarice and Bloodlust.

Roughly looking, there were hundreds of them.

But just as A Cheng was adding fuel to the fire, Meria's wings shook, and the holy light spread to the city wall of the Demon King City, bringing a cold wave that interrupted the City Defense Commander's speech.

"The Empire emptied your coin jar… Hmm?" A Cheng's intention was to report the situation, but he didn't expect to be directly targeted by the camera, suddenly appearing foolish.

"Are they finished? Then it's my turn, ha?" The Bag Demon catapulted into the air, swaying its body, waving at the scorched-earth encampment.

This was a bloated old woman with a very conspicuous beer belly, but under the illumination of the holy wings behind her, she did not appear wretched at all, but rather like an angel.

Along with Li Yue's words, a knight with wings on his back flew out from the rear of the Holy Path Army.

A magnificent bone city stood above the eternal night, glistening and translucent.

Immediately afterwards, Meria took out a large head from the pocket at his waist.

The sky was filled with bone fragments and dust—finally, it was time for the Imperial Army to check the results of the attack.

"Humans and demons are watching you…" A Cheng reminded Li Yue, "What do you want to say about our inhumane behavior of attacking the chamber of commerce?"

After a simple setup, Avarice and Bloodlust began to increase in large quantities.

In the live broadcast, the northern wall of the Demon King City was ruthlessly peeled open by the destructive cannon fire; the main gate and inner walls collapsed, dust and bone fragments filled the sky, and the demons inside the city were also shaken and fell to the ground, as if experiencing a major earthquake.

At the same time, the Demon Market had not completely fallen, and the magic cannon's artillery formation had also completed the adjustment of the firing angle and the loading of ammunition.

The Demon King City did have a backhand, but not today.

"Hmm… Of course, it's to kill them." A Cheng's reaction was very real.

Li Yue directly transferred the excess Bloodlust to A Cheng.

"This is the manifestation of the Expeditionary Force's incompetence! It is also the spur for us to strengthen ourselves, buzz!" Li Yue's emotions rose, and he directly passed the buck to Mufius, almost shouting that demons should strengthen themselves.

That certainly wasn't the Empire's entire fortune.

Afterwards, Qi He was lifted by the wind, floating in the sky, facing the Bag Demon on the city wall from afar.

"Ahem… Pay attention, that woman is called Qi He, she is a great magic conductor…" Li Yue, of course, became the host of this live broadcast, taking to the field himself.

"War—Avarice, buzz—" The Bag Demon danced in the cannon fire, and the hundreds of Aberrant Eyes on the city wall were instantly destroyed, leaving only the low-altitude Aberrant Eyes to broadcast the grand occasion from a bird's-eye view.

Li Yue almost directly said thank you to Meria.

Wolf ears, wolf face, wolf teeth, several deep pits were burned out on the face by the holy light, but that did not affect the demons from recognizing whose head it was.

Demon Wolf King Fentus.

The cannon fire fell towards the city wall through the gap created by the Little Sun, concentrating on the weakest point of the Demon King City.
