I am the emperor of Mengwang

Since he was traveling alone and didn't have too many concerns, Hinata Sakaguchi didn't bring a lot of luggage, but his marching speed was not fast either.

After all, if she wanted to get from the Holy Empire to Tempest, she would have to pass through many countries, including the Kingdom of Ingracia.

In addition, it was already winter, and the heavy snow made her journey even more difficult.

And not long after Hinata's march, she met several of her subordinates who came looking for her.

The six holy knights under her command are Light, Sky, Earth, Fire, Feng Shui and others.

Because the "enemy" this time was too powerful, even the Knight of Light, Leonard, who was the vice-leader of the Paladin Order, had to put down his work and lend a hand to Lord Hinata.

As for the work of the Paladin Order, Leonard entrusted it to his confidants, as well as the three Martial Immortals who were also among the "Ten Saints".

Although the "Three Martial Immortals" disliked the Paladins, the current situation has almost reached a point where it can threaten the survival of mankind, so the "Three Martial Immortals" and the Paladins unanimously decided to put aside their personal grudges and turn their spearheads outside.

However, what Leonard didn't know was that the moment he handed over the Paladins to the "Three Martial Immortals", they took the Paladins and headed straight towards the Demon Federation.

Looking at the six familiar faces in front of him, Hinata Sakaguchi did not feel moved like some protagonists in novels, but frowned and spoke to them.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Didn't I say I would come alone?"

Looking at Hinata's frowning face, the six paladins did not feel scared as usual.

Instead, he made fun of it with a hint of 'joking'.

"Hinata-sama, what are you talking about? And you're going alone. Aren't you looking down on us?"

"That's right! You're the only one who's trying to take the credit! That's really unfair! You can't take the credit like this!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Credit! What nonsense are you talking about? There is no such thing as credit!"

Hinata shook her head and denied everyone's words.

"Hinata-sama, we know your intentions. But I'm sorry, I can't obey your orders this time!"

"Yes, you look like you are going to the execution ground. Do you want to bear all the responsibility by yourself and then die to atone for your sins?"

"Hyuga-sama, me too! We don't want to trade your sacrifice for anything. Without your Paladin Order, it won't be the Paladin Order in our hearts!"

…………

Looking at this group of subordinates, who were talking to each other, Hinata scratched his head in annoyance.

"Don't you guys understand the situation? You have to understand that our opponents are the Demon King and the Dragon King. There are two Demon Kings. The second Demon King is even a real Demon King who can rival the 'Dragon King' and is 'natural disaster level'."

"We can't be opponents!"

"It was me who angered them this time. It has nothing to do with you. Now obey my orders and return home immediately!"

Looking at Hinata who gave the serious order, the six paladins did not move, but just stood there firmly.

Seeing that even his orders were of no use to Hinata, he knew that they were determined to die together today!

In the end, he had no choice but to say "give up on himself" to the six people.

"Forget it, I've already given you a chance. You're asking for death. Don't blame me if you die!"

After saying that, Hinata turned and headed towards the Demonic Federation.

So, just like that, the Hinata group that was originally marching alone suddenly became seven people.

Because of the increase in the number of people, Hyuga's marching speed naturally slowed down.

The difficult journey, coupled with bad weather and the occasional experience of sleeping outdoors, had made these seven top humans physically and mentally exhausted, even if they did not encounter any enemies.

But after several days of "non-stop" travel, they finally arrived at the Kingdom of Bloomt, which was closest to the Hela Forest.

Because they were about to reach the territory of Demon Lord Rimuru, everyone had to rest in the Kingdom of Bloomt to recover the energy they had consumed in the past few days of marching.

After renting the travel coffin and packing their luggage, everyone came to the streets of the Kingdom of Bloomett to eat something and to gather some information.

Looking at the prosperous and bustling streets, the paladins couldn't help but reveal expressions of surprise.

They really didn't expect that a small country next to the Demon King's territory would not be affected by it at all, and even to some extent, it was more peaceful than some big countries.

Not only that, even the goods sold on the streets can be considered high-end products. Although not as good as the goods from some big countries, it is enough to surprise them.

You have to know that this is just a small country with a sparse population.

“Is it because of Demon Lord Rimuru?!”

Looking at this 'thriving' street, Hinata couldn't help but mutter absentmindedly.

"Can humans really make deals with monsters?!"

The Water Knight Letitis was also a little confused.

To be honest, if you were to suggest making a deal with monsters in the Holy Empire, you would most likely be punished as a heretic.

Not to mention implementation.

After strolling around the street for a while, Hinata finally believed that both Demon King Rimuru and Demon King Morax were probably reincarnated from another world.

It’s not because of anything else, these few stores alone can prove it.

Even Hinata couldn't help but feel a surge of nostalgia as he looked at the food dishes written all over the walls of the restaurant.

Apart from the Japanese dishes she was familiar with, most of them came from the ancient country in her previous life that was known as the "food powerhouse".

“Xiaolongbao, fried dumplings, roast duck, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, white-cut chicken, Dongpo pork… and many other famous dishes.

You know, these dishes are well-known even in Neon!

"Would you like to order food?"

At this time, a waitress dressed in service attire came up to Hinata and the others.

"Yes! I want a tonkotsu ramen, a serving of fried dumplings and xiaolongbao, and a serving of kung pao chicken!"

"It seems like this customer knows how to eat! He's so knowledgeable even though he's here for the first time!"

The waiter said with some 'surprise', but still honestly wrote down the dishes Hinata mentioned in his order book.

"And how about you guys?"

The waitress said as she turned her attention to the six paladins that followed Hinata.

Hearing the waitress's questions, the six paladins couldn't help but reveal an embarrassment.

I've never heard of this!

"I'll have the same as Hinata-sama!"

"Me, me too!"

“Me too!

"Ok!"

In the end, the six of them had no choice but to order the same dishes as Hinata.

After a while, all the dishes were served. The six "country bumpkins" from another world looked at the steaming and fragrant fried dumplings and steamed buns with an embarrassed look on their faces.

It smells nice, but I just can’t eat it!

I could only observe Hinata's way of eating and learn by copying her. The only flaw was that these things called "chopsticks" were not very easy to use.

"Oh my god! It's so hot!"

“Delicious~~”

"You must be kidding! How can there be something so delicious?!"

"I feel like the food I eat in France is just pig food compared to that!"

"Yes! I've never eaten anything so delicious!"

The taste buds of these six unsophisticated people were directly impacted by these unknown foods from the "food powerhouse" of another world, as if a new world had been opened up.

too delicious!

Looking at the six subordinates who were conquered by the delicacies of their hometown, Hinata couldn't help but smile slightly.

Just as everyone was savoring this 'rarely-seen' delicacy, a voice similar to a storyteller suddenly came from the side.

"It is said on the mainland! Although the Great Hela Forest is the territory of the Demon King Rimuru, the 'Nine Heavens Ruler', the Great Hela Forest is governed by two Demon Kings together."

"One of them is the rising star known to the continent, Demon King Rimuru, and the other is the other founder of the Demonic Federation, 'Emperor Rock' Morax."

"And this Demonic King is no simple person. In the recent past, he personally solved many crises that threatened the Great Qila Forest. Let me tell you one by one..."

"Legend has it that in the great forest of Nala..."

Although Rimuru and Morax are indeed demon kings, the people of the Kingdom of Bloomt are not afraid of them, because it is these two demon kings who dominate the continent that make their lives better.

At first they were also quite afraid of Demon King Rimuru, but after many people from Blumut went to Tempest, they realized that this was not a Demon King at all!

This is simply a living Buddha to them. In Tempest, as long as they put in some effort, they can get anything they want. This is a good opportunity that they cannot get in their own country or even in those big countries.

In addition, because the Demon Federation has two demon kings, some powerful monsters and humans dare not act recklessly in the Hela Forest. It can be said "without hesitation" that the Demon Federation is simply too safe.

If something happens, you can find the security team. If you are out of money, you can work in exchange for money. If you encounter a robbery, report it and your things will be returned soon.

The Demonic Federation is simply a paradise for them!

Now, many people from the Bloomt Kingdom have settled in the Demon Federation, found a job, and started their own wonderful life.

Listening to these humans praising and admiring Demon Lord Rimuru and Demon Lord Morax, the six paladins always felt uncomfortable in their hearts!

No, this seems a little wrong! When did humans stop believing in heroes and start believing in demons?

This, this, is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

However, with the idea of ​​"collecting" intelligence, the six paladins and Hinata still listened carefully to the "explanation" from the old man.

After a moment, not only the six paladins, but even Hinata showed an expression of 'incredibility'.

The legend of Rimuru was not so exaggerated, and it was within their expectations. But the legend of Morax was different.

In the mouth of this old man, the Demon King Morax, no, he should be called the 'Rock King' Morax, who is as supreme as a 'god'.

Even the information that Resim said was much worse than that of this old man.

How he suppressed an army of hundreds of thousands of pig-headed people with a single hand, led his army to conquer the entire Jila Forest, and a rock spear he casually threw down turned into a "Guoyun Pavilion" to suppress a strong man comparable to the demon king level, and so on.

It’s simply... even more exaggerated than “deification”.

"Hinata-sama, what this old man said, do you think... well, how much is true?"

At this time, Leonard, the Knight of Light, asked a question to Sakaguchi Hinata, who was still a little dazed.

"...I don't know, but what is certain is that Demon King Morax is definitely not someone we can handle!"

Hinata Sakaguchi shook her head. Regardless of whether the information was true or false, one thing was certain: if Morax took action, she, no, even with her subordinates, would not be Morax's opponent.

This time she might be dead for sure, hope her life can help Demon King Rimuru extinguish his anger!

"Okay, let's eat! We'll have to get going after we finish eating!"

Hinata said something to her six subordinates, and then started eating the remaining food. Perhaps this might be the last time she could taste the delicacies of her hometown!

"…Yes, Hinata-sama."

Leonard wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say. That's right! It seems that there is nothing to say. Do they really have a chance of winning this time? !

No, there is not the slightest chance of winning. Even Demon Lord Rimuru and his companions are not sure of winning, let alone [Storm Dragon] Veldora and 'Ground King' Morax.

Alas, it doesn't matter. Even if there is a 'zero chance of survival' ahead, it doesn't matter. Being able to die together with Lord Hinata, who is the 'strongest human', is also a kind of 'honor'!

Just like that, with their "worries" in mind, the six people finally finished their meal.

..............................

After resting for a night in the hotel, Hinata and the others finally set out on the journey to the Demon King's territory, the 'Great Forest of Uzumaki'.

After a short rest, their bodies have returned to their peak condition.

After entering the Jiula Forest, the seven people could not stop being surprised.

"The barrier, the streets, the water dispensers, the guards" everything left these powerful humans from the Holy French Empire dumbfounded.

After seeing Tempest's development, Hinata couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

At this moment, someone suddenly seemed to contact her using magic.

[The Hyuga people, ... three ... warrior ... knights ... went out to fight without permission!]

Hinata frowned when he heard these voice transmissions.

[Be careful, 'Seven Stars'.]

"problem occurs!"

Hinata had a bad feeling in her heart. She felt as if something she didn't know was happening quietly.

…………

"come yet?"

At this time, Rimuru, who was standing on a cliff somewhere, asked while looking at Souei who had just returned.

"Lord Rimuru, Hinata Sakaguchi has led six paladins to the Great Forest of Nyura. According to the time, they are expected to reach Tempest before noon."

"Noon?! That's fine."

"It's finally time to settle everything with her!"

Rimuru looked at the woods not far away, as if he wanted to see his 'enemy' through layers of obstacles.
