To be honest, Yilisi really couldn’t understand why humanity would mobilize the entire empire’s army at this point in time to launch a massive war.
And they also set the rescue of the Shield Hero Fei’ouna as an important strategic objective.
Although the Holmurd Empire, with humans as its main race, was indeed stronger overall than the demon race, the timing was very delicate.
Because before the war had even started, the Holmurd Empire experienced a upheaval: the old emperor died, and a new empress was crowned.
Even though the power transition appeared smooth, it was undeniable that the ascension of the young Empress Kalian Holmurd had already touched the interests of some nobles and high-level officials.
Normally, this wasn’t strange, since there were as many as nine candidates for the crown prince this time, the most in history.
Moreover, the empire’s succession law had no distinction of seniority.
To obtain this supreme power, one had to satisfy two conditions.
First, pass the election vote of the church; second, obtain the sworn loyalty of the six heroes.
Usually, these two conditions didn’t conflict, because the heroes’ right to speak was not as critical as described in the law.
Basically, as long as the church gave approval, it was assumed the new emperor had the loyalty of all heroes.
However, this time, there seemed to be a small accident.
Empress Kalian’s coronation was officially declared as a normal succession fully compliant with the law.
But the inside information Yilisi received was that behind the calm surface, it was actually a bloody palace coup.
Therefore, it was only natural that internal instability would occur in the short term.
Of course, it must be acknowledged that this empress had some skills.
Not only did she stabilize such a dangerous situation, but she also struck immediately upon taking office, planning a war as a bombshell.
Even if she wasn’t the mastermind, she certainly supported it, otherwise it wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Originally, when Yilisi learned of this, he thought about taking advantage of the chaos to cause some trouble.
But unexpectedly, he himself was the prey being targeted (laugh).
Although the combat power gap was 8:6…
The advantage is mine!
Humanity will pay a heavy price for their reckless decision.
And more importantly, Yilisi also had the full support of his wife.
Regarding the exposure of identity information, he was thinking of comforting her, because even if the probability was extremely low, it was still a risk Fei’ouna had to face.
But before Yilisi could speak, she changed her earlier hesitation and with a firm gaze, instantly dispelled his unnecessary concern.
“Master! I take back what I just said!”
“Since I’ve decided to go to the battlefield, I shouldn’t overthink.”
“So, Demon Lord! Please believe in Fei’ouna! I will definitely complete the mission one hundred percent!”
Actually, Fei’ouna had already regretted it the moment she said those words.
The Demon Lord was so wise; if she could think of it, wouldn’t he?
Besides, what did it matter if her identity was exposed? It would just attract some enemies who wanted to kill her.
After regaining her strength, Fei’ouna couldn’t explain what was wrong with her, but the desire to fight was rapidly swelling in her heart.
Especially after receiving her master’s approval, the restrictions left in her cognition were completely lifted.
And this shift in mindset immediately elevated Fei’ouna’s spirit.
Even though she looked rather disheveled kneeling on the carpet, wearing underwear that resembled special play costume, with messy hair and inexplicable red marks and strawberry spots on her body, none of that affected Fei’ouna’s aura.
Good! Very spirited!
To this, Yilisi also curled his lips and clapped for his beloved wife with great satisfaction.
Clap clap clap~
“Well said, Fei’ouna. You really understand quickly. You don’t disappoint the careful cultivation I have given you over the years.”
However, thinking back to the dungeon taming period, our Demon Lord didn’t teach his wife anything about maintaining fighting spirit or overcoming difficulties.
At that time, Yilisi only did one thing: use inhumane methods to make Fei’ouna realize that she was a useless waste abandoned by her companions, whose only purpose was to serve the Demon Lord and bear offspring for her master.
In a way, it was like completely crushing her dignity as a former warrior.
It wasn’t until later, when Fei’ouna conceived the idea of pretending to obey and then escaping, that their feelings truly changed qualitatively.
Of course, in the end, Fei’ouna’s plan failed.
Who would have thought that she, who was once a boy, would be seduced by a dragon! And even got pregnant!
But to be fair, the sweetness was real.
The days with Yilisi were the happiest times for Fei’ouna.
So her ability to “understand quickly” was not due to careful cultivation, but to the bond between them.
To protect her daughter and her beloved partner, Fei’ouna now would never allow herself to escape!
Now that the mission details were clear, the next step was implementation.
Although Fei’ouna needed to play two roles in the old demon city, the only one that truly needed to appear under the eyes of humans and her own race was her identity as the Demon Queen.
And this appearance was not casual. Since her wedding with Yilisi, every important occasion that required Fei’ouna’s attendance, she wore a purple veil to cover her face.
Its name was [Banshee Mask], a cursed magical relic.
When worn, her external image would be completely blurred.
Also, Yilisi had never publicly revealed Fei’ouna’s real name, so even among their own race, everyone only knew that the Demon Lord had a mysterious queen.
As for who she was, no one knew.
Since Yilisi’s plan was to arrange for Fei’ouna to go to the old demon city as governor immediately and as quickly as possible, with a light tap of his fingertip releasing a purple magic spell, Fei’ouna, who was only wearing a bone-chain lingerie, was dressed in formal queen attire the next second.
And the veil, thin as a cicada’s wing, perfectly shielded her youthful face.
“Time is of the essence, Fei’ouna.”
“The enemy’s actions may be faster than we expected, so you need to set out today.”
