Sacred River Selma was situated in the Beastmen territory that was in the center of the Priestly Continent. The river happened to split the Beastmen’s grassland continent into the north and south regions. The north region that was closer to the Human race was where the four tribes of the Beastmen, Wolfmen, Lionmen, Leopardmen, and Tigermen, were residing.
The southern shores of the Sacred River Selma were considered as the outback regions of the Beastmen where the four tribes of the Winged Men, Centaurs, Minotaurs and Bearmen, were residing. Different from the northern tribes that were always in the chaos of war, the southern tribes were much stronger. As they didn’t need to confront humans constantly, their military strength wasn’t as exhausted.
Bella was now situated at the southern shores of the Sacred River Selma, at the construction area where the coalition of the Dark Humans and Beastmen were defending. The Dark Princess Erica was still knocking on the door as she couldn’t understand why her younger sister Elsa had closed the door.
“Elsa, you damned girl, if you still don’t open the door, I will break the door down!”
“Big sister, please wait for a moment; just a moment longer will do.”
“You have been dilly dallying for too long. I will… Are, aren’t you… Lord Demon King!”
Just as Princess Erica was about to force open the door, Bella walked out from the palace and immediately shut the doors with her hand behind her back. Her movements were so fast that Princess Erica didn’t have enough time to see the situation inside the palace clearly!
“What… what is wrong with your clothes…”
“Eh… Lord Demon King, this is an accident, I am truly ashamed! Will Lord Demon King please give way? Erica has the key to my room. Without the key, I cannot return to my room to change.”
Princess Erica’s mage clothes looked like they had gone through some suffering as there were multiple damaged and torn areas. Bella could nearly see Erica’s entire body through those holes. The girls in this Other World were rather conservative with their undergarments, apart from Bella’s besties.
Erica was also rather conservative, but her undergarments were all exposed right now. From the looks of it, she had just experienced an intense battle. The unconcealed lust in Bella’s eyes made Princess Erica a little embarrassed as she thought that this Demon King was a woman, but why were her eyes even stranger than male Demon Kings?
Princess Erica subconsciously covered her breasts with her hands while Bella had the intention to pry open her hands. What was there to be embarrassed about? Since Erica had only reacted after getting seen entirely, why couldn’t she allow Bella to finish watching?!
“That… Lord Demon King, can you give way?! You are blocking my way.”
“No… Aren’t you looking for the key? I will go and take it for you. Elsa and I have some private matters to discuss. As the elder sister, you need to understand.”
Erica’s clothes weren’t in the best of shape, and she couldn’t barge through. Moreover, she would be going against the Demon King. As such, she had no choice but to agree to Bella’s suggestion helplessly. After Bella handed over the key, Elsa took the opportunity when Bella left with her elder sister to quickly free the Black-Robed Witches under her command.
Since the Demon King Brewster was already dead, the black tentacles that it left behind would quickly wither without any energy support. Elsa didn’t have to waste too much effort to rescue her subordinates.
“What a close call. Finally, I don’t have to be scolded by my big sister. About the summoning ritual today, no one is to say a thing. Otherwise, I will make that person…”
“Princess Elsa, these subordinates understand.”
On the other side, Bella was shamelessly following Princess Erica. She had kept her Demon King’s wings and changed into an ordinary black armor. Right now, she looked just like Princess Erica’s guard.
“Lord Demon King… what are you doing? I am going to change my clothes!”
“It’s fine. I also have to change my clothes, let’s do it together! Also, you should address me as Bella. Demon King is too generic.”
Princess Erica was very helpless. Among all the Demon Kings she had interacted with, most of them were aloof and cold. This was the first time she met with a Demon King that was like Bella, who didn’t care about the difference in status. Erica didn’t know how to deal with Bella at this moment and had no choice but to allow Bella to continue following her.
As guided by Princess Erica while in disguise as her guard, Bella took the opportunity to observe the entire Sacred River Selma’s defense line. At the southern shores of the Sacred River Selma, there were large quantities of defense constructions. Blockhouses and catapults could be seen everywhere.
There were also magic-guided cannons being deployed. Under the special modifications of the Dark Humans, behind the defense line of the Sacred River Selma’s southern shores, there was a vast city zone that looked like a human city. Ancient Todd City in the south of the Sacred River Selma was the largest stronghold for the Dark Humans coalition on the Beastmen’s continent.
The land taken up by the Ancient Todd City was even more extensive than the capital city of Bella’s Sarnia Duchy, Sarni City. The six-million strong garrison of the Dark Coalition wasn’t a joke. Apart from the Dark Coalition, there were barely any Beastmen soldiers. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that this was the Dark Humans’ colony.
According to the information harnessed from the Silver Fox Princess Vanessa and others, the Beastmen had been conquered by the Dark Humans, who came from the sea over a thousand years ago. The Dark Humans came from the mysterious Darkness Continent, and they worshipped the Ex-Twelve Demon Kings, who bestowed the Dark Humans with the power of the Ex-Twelve Demon Kings.
The circle of life restricted the Dark Humans, and they had eternal life. When attacked by the powerful forces of the Dark Humans, the Beastmen Emperor surrendered. To prevent being exterminated, the Beastmen chose to cooperate with the Dark Humans.
With the support of the Dark Humans, the Beastmen constructed cities that were similar to human cities, and there were also Magical Armies. But not all Beastmen Kings enjoyed being restricted by the Dark Humans. The four northern tribes of the Sacred River Selma, the Wolfmen, Lionmen, Leopardmen, and the Tigermen, were discontented with the Dark Humans meddling in the Beastmen’s affairs.
Due to the different ideologies, over a thousand years, the seeming harmony between the Beastmen Tribes was belied with underlying disagreement. As such, they were separated into two factions with the Sacred River Selma as their border. Northern tribes belonged to the “Native Faction” while the southern tribes belonged to the “Puppet Faction.” The Beastmen that Bella had beaten up violently at the Sacred River Selma were from the “Native Faction.”
It was no wonder the Beastmen Emperor didn’t provide any assistance to the Wolf King and others. It seemed like he wished to get someone else to do his dirty work and to use the opportunity to weaken the Native Faction’s Beastmen Tribes further. The failure of the Battle of Harvey Plains was closely related to the conflicts of the factions within the Beastmen Tribes.
The Dark Humans were very powerful because of the Twelve Demon Kings backing them. The Native Faction might be discontented with the tyranny of the Dark Humans, but they didn’t dare to resist against the Dark Humans openly. The Dark Humans also wanted to make use of the Beastmen Tribes; as such, neither side would turn downright hostile and start a war.
The afternoon sunlight illuminated the limpid and sky blue water of the Sacred River Selma. This peaceful Sacred River had been flowing quietly on this continent for close to 10,000 years. Over 10,000 years, the Sacred River Selma had witnessed the glorious lives of over a hundred Beastmen Emperors.
In legends, the Sacred River Selma was formed 10,000 years ago by the tears of Water Goddess Selma, who was the younger sister of one of the God World’s Twelve Gods, Poseidon. This High-Level God had perished in the war when the Twelve Demon Kings invaded the God World. There was no longer any way for Bella to verify if this legend were true or false.
Those beings who knew the truth were already no longer in this world. Even Death God Maureen, who was one of the Twelve Gods, didn’t know the conclusion for Water Goddess Selma. Bella didn’t feel the presence of a God Race at the Sacred River Selma; therefore, the authenticity of this legend would never be known.
Bella was overwhelmed with feelings as the two shores of the Sacred River Selma was going to become the place of a fierce battle for the dark forces. If the Water Goddess Selma were to know of this in her grave, would she be speechless?
Ancient Todd City was the Dark Coalition’s stronghold and also one of the strongholds under the control of the Ex-Twelve Demong Kings. Bella didn’t intend to enter the city as at least one Demon King was overseeing that place. It was still better and safer to investigate from the Dark Human’s stronghold at the defense line of the Sacred River Selma’s southern shores.
“Mistress Bella, what are you… Stop, I am not worthy of this!”
“Erica, stop talking and stay still quietly! This is the order of a Demon King. Why? Are you going to defy the orders from a Demon King!?”
In the Dark Princess Erica’s bathroom, Bella still didn’t stop after making use of Erica’s bath, she went behind Erica and reached her hands out to press on Erica’s shoulders and gave her a massage.
It was apparent that Bella didn’t have any good intentions. After she followed Princess Erica to this place, she used the title of the Demon King to take advantage of Princess Erica. Erica had no choice but to sit by the side of the bath while she had the special privilege to enjoy a massage personally done by a Demon King that she couldn’t refuse.
But Bella was truly naughty as her hands would constantly explore Princess Erica’s snow-white body. Didn’t Bella say it was just a shoulder massage?! Why did it suddenly turn into a full body massage? This “extra service” was something that Princess Erica had never requested.
Bella pressed firmly to Princess Erica’s back from behind while she sniffed Princess Erica’s beautiful blood-red hair. Bella stuck out her tongue like a pervert and licked Princess Erica’s gorgeous cheeks. Erica’s profession was a Blood Mage and was still considered a mage profession in a strict context. Hence, her physical strength couldn’t be compared to Bella, who had a Knight profession.
If Bella were to use strength right now, Princess Erica would never be able to resist as their strength difference was just too vast. Furthermore, resisting would only make Bella even more excited. Princess Erica’s looked at the ceiling of the bathroom with a face that was blushing slightly, while Bella’s professional violation was causing her thoughts to go into complete disarray.
“Mistress Bella, stop doing this… Please spare me… I am already…”
“Erica, show some compassion in the Demon Kings! Isn’t tributing yourselves to the Demon Kings your race’s greatest honor? Stop thinking that I am going to take you in as my servant.”
“The kind of tribute I am speaking about isn’t this kind of tribute! It is…”
The Dark Princess Erica’s final resistance was futile as Bella seized Erica into her embrace. Subsequently, Bella didn’t hold back and kissed Erica. Erica’s lips were immediately surrendered. She lost her authority to speak and had quickly fallen into Bella’s hands.
The steam was filling the air of the bathroom, and before many of the Dark Humans could react, their princess had been “taken over” by Bella. The day before the two armies battled, Bella had “overthrown” the opposition’s commander. This was the first time Bella had achieved such a magnificent feat.
Seeing how Princess Erica was allowing Bella to ravage as she pleased, Bella felt a little regretful. If she had known that the Darkness Empire was so easy to overthrow, she wouldn’t have released Princess Elsa. She would have taken both the sister as her “captives.”
While Bella was still having an affair at the southern shores of the Sacred River Selma, the northern shores were already covered with conflagration. The near ten million-strong Demon King Coalition was gathering at the northern shores of Sacred River Selma. When Bella wasn’t around, the Demonic Dragon Emperor Alisha was commanding the Demon King Coalition to continue marching, and they were approaching the northern shores of the Sacred River Selma.
The Dark Coalition had noticed the abnormal state at the northern shores at the first moment. Before the Demon King Coalition could stand firm, the various magic-guided cannons and catapults were already firing frenziedly at the opposite shore.
As the Demon King Coalition had yet to stand firm, they were stupefied by this wave of attack. But there were plenty of god class “bosses” overseeing the coalition, and they had reacted very swiftly. Alisha and Elaine worked together to give rise to a giant black screen barrier at the northern shores of the Sacred River Selma.
The ranged attacks from the Dark Coalition were isolated by this black screen barrier, causing them to lose the advantage of attacking first instantly. With the cover of the black screen barrier, the Demon King Coalition started to dig the northern shores and arrange a new front.
The width of the Sacred River Selma was over a hundred meters wide, and it was somewhat challenging to cross the river forcefully. The Dark Humans had been operating in this place for over a thousand years, and the defense line of the Sacred River Selma was also known as a wall that would “never fall.” The Demon King Coalition didn’t recklessly cross the river. They intended to wait for Commander Bella’s return and to plan again.
As the outside was enveloped in the flames of war, Bella couldn’t continue playing more. She was currently helping Princess Erica to dress up while feeling reluctant to part with her. Princess Erica’s face was blushing slightly, just like a little girl who was very shy and lowering her head, allowing Bella to dress herself up as Bella pleased.
The reason why Bella had appeared in this place had been explained to Princess Erica by Bella during the bath they shared. Bella lied that it was Erica’s younger sister who summoned her, and it was done with a regular summoning ritual.
According to the agreement between Bella and Elsa, Bella didn’t tell Erica about the Princess Elsa’s failed summoning, which summoned the Black Tentacled Demonic King.
“Mistress Bella, Lord Griffin is also in Ancient Todd City, do you…”
“No, I have nothing to speak with them. This is an agreement between us. Don’t let any third party intervene, okay?”
“Eh, I understand. I will listen to your arrangements!”
Erica felt a little suspicious. She had always assumed that Demon Kings were allies, but after seeing Bella’s attitude, she didn’t seem to be interested in the Terror Demon King Griffin. It was fortunate that after Erica and Elsa accidentally summoned the new Demon Kings back, they didn’t spontaneously mention to the Terror Demon King Griffin about Bella.
Terror Demon King Griffin was one of the more conservative ones among the Ex-Twelve Demon Kings. As he wanted to preserve his authority as a Demon King, he didn’t question Elsa and Erica if it were a new Demon King or a demonic being that had been accidentally summoned. Both sides were somewhat cautious and didn’t mention the incident of the new Demon King. As such, the information about the truthful existence of Bella and the new Demon Kings wasn’t known by many.
“Big sister, what are the two of you…”
“It is nothing… Elsa, what kind of eyes are those. I am just discussing some private matters with Mistress Bella!”
Princess Elsa had changed into a blue gown and rushed over here to observe her elder sister Erica’s reaction. She was still worried that Bella might let her mouth slip in front of Erica and would reveal her dark secret.
When Elsa arrived at Erica’s room, she saw Bella helping Erica to dress up, and this had shocked Elsa. In Elsa’s impression, her elder sister Erica was a reserved and strong-minded person. Previously when the mysterious dark forces had defeated Erica at the quarry, she had been infuriated for quite some time.
Princess Erica was currently having a shy expression like a little girl, and this was the first time Elsa witnessed it for these recent years. This Demon King was truly toxic enough to make her elder sister so bashful. Elsa used probing eyes to seize up Bella, seemingly trying to find some secrets from her body.
“Enough, stop glancing randomly, you little lass. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. Otherwise, I am going to hit you!”
“Who is little… Lord Demon King, Big Sister Erica is being fierce to me! You have to help me. Big Sister is always bullying me.”
“Who has been bullying you? Mistress Bella, don’t listen to the nonsense from this lass. I will teach her a lesson right now.”
Bella was smiling and sitting on the chair while silently watched and appreciated the Dark Princess Sisters playing around in the room. Elsa was indeed not little as their cup sizes were the same, and Bella personally tested it. There wasn’t a problem of “whose is bigger” between Elsa and Erica as they were both the same.
The ones that contested with Bella at the quarry were the Dark Princess Sisters, Erica and Elsa. Bella had already taken an indirect approach to verify this information with Erica. This was destiny. Princess Erica still didn’t know that she had unknowingly lost to Bella twice. This time, she had lost her entire self to Bella.
After Bella finished playing, she started to consider the problem of the return trip. It wasn’t right to “have an affair” for too long. Otherwise, she would have a hard time explaining to Lisha, Kriss, and others. If she wanted to return now, the best way would be to use the Demon King’s transportation passage.
Swimming across Sacred River Selma was also a good choice, but it was the crucial period for the two opposing armies right now. As a Demon King, if she were to swim across the Sacred River Selma under the public eye, she would feel humiliated. After thinking through the consequences, Bella decided to use another method.
“Erica, how many Demon Kings are in Ancient Todd City now? Do you know?”
“There are two, and they have been both summoned by Master Kenneth. They are Lord Demon King Griffin and Lord Demon King Trollope. Why? Is Mistress Bella going to see…”
“No, are there any other Demon Kings?”
“Other… There is one more that I just recalled. But it is rather hard to see her. You will only have the chance to see her when the moon isn’t bright at night!”
