Originally, he was just here to ask for directions. He wanted to talk to the Demon King here and visit his treasure house. I believe that even the Demon King would not reject a kind-hearted traveler like him.
But after seeing how weak the Demon King was, Jiang Li changed his mind.
What are you talking about?
Just sit on it!
If you become the Demon King, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you want?
You can visit any treasure house you want to visit, you can spend the night wherever you want, you can rob the princess by force... ahem, delete the last one, he is not such an impudent person.
In the Demon King's Palace.
As soon as Jiang Li said these words, the whole room fell into dead silence.
Everyone was stunned, with dumbfounded expressions of "What is this guy talking about?"
What about the reaction?
Give me some reaction!
If you don’t give me some reaction, how can I continue acting?
It was the first time Jiang Li had done something like this, so he felt a little nervous, looking forward to someone following him to answer the question.
"...Aren't you human?"
In the end, Mr. Headless Horseman, the only one who did something practical, spoke up.
He tilted his head in his hands to show his confusion.
"Is there a rule that humans can't be demon kings?"
Jiang Li asked rhetorically.
"That's true, but..."
The Headless Horseman turned his head and looked at the woman in priest uniform next to him.
"You obviously could kill His Majesty but you didn't do it. We would like to express our gratitude for this. However, not everyone can be the Demon King. Especially if you want to become the Demon King as a human, the resistance will be surprisingly great. !”
The woman in priestly uniform took the place of several other cadres and took the initiative to come up and start negotiations.
The corpses of the dark knights on the ground were still warm.
Under the protection of His Majesty the Demon King, they were all killed in just a few minutes. Their strength was comparable to that of the cadres. This shows that this human being is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Who are you?"
"Celestina, I am the staff officer of the Demon King's army."
The woman in priestly uniform bowed slightly to Jiang Li and introduced herself briefly.
She is also a very beautiful woman. Her shoulder-length short hair looks very clean and tidy. Her priestly uniform, which is mainly black, looks a bit like a fallen angel. The tear mole under the corner of her left eye gives her a very clear look. Add a touch of charm.
The most important thing is that the figure is also very good, not too prominent, but very well-proportioned.
"What are the requirements for becoming a demon king?"
Jiang Li restrained his sitting posture and looked like he was listening carefully.
"Is this human really asking this kind of question?"
"He doesn't really want to be the Demon King, does he?"
The whispers of monsters came from behind the officers.
The masked man rubbed his chin and looked at Jiang Li with interest.
"Not too bad in combat effectiveness, and a certain amount of resourcefulness."
Celestina gave him a strange look.
As a human being, she really didn't expect that someone was planning to become the Demon King.
"The most important thing is to have strong leadership ability to make the Demon King's Army cadres with outstanding personalities obey!"
Wait a moment.
Intelligence only needs to be understood to a certain extent, and the Demon King only needs to know how to use people.
What if the combat effectiveness is not too bad? Can this really convince the public? What should I do if the people below rebel?
Leadership is actually the most important thing. How difficult is it for you Demon King Army cadres to reconcile?
"I'm strong, aren't I?"
"The idea that the demons must be absolutely supreme in strength and that the demon king must be the strongest is just a stereotype of the demons. In fact, that kind of selection method has long been outdated."
Celestina casually revealed the information that left Jiang Li speechless.
no.
Don’t you demons actually follow the principle of supremacy of strength?
If you don't follow the principle that strength is supreme, the strong cannot do whatever they want. What kind of demons are you like this!
"It seems I made an empiricist mistake."
Jiang Li sighed.
It is always said in anime that villains such as demons and demons are absolute mercenaries. The strong ones in this group can do whatever they want, so he plans to become the Demon King... No, that's why he thinks he can be the Demon King. .
He stood up from the throne and walked down the steps.
"What if I say, I must be this devil?"
As soon as the words came out.
The atmosphere in the field suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The expressions of the monsters became nervous.
"Hmm~"
The masked man Barnier groaned noncommittally.
"……Your Mightiness."
"My name is Kurogane Ikki."
"Lord Kurogane!"
The Headless Horseman's tone was filled with anger.
"Do you want to ascend to the position of Demon King through force?"
Huh?
Why do these words make me seem like a villain?
Please clarify your position, demons!
"If you don't agree, speak with your sword."
Jiang Li raised the knife in his hand with a stern expression.
"I think you look like a knight. You should know the rules of dueling, right?"
Let’s leave aside things like leadership or strategy.
Jiang Li plans to use his strength to defeat these people first!
"I thank you for showing mercy to His Majesty the Demon King, but it's a matter of course. I will accept this duel!"
The Headless Horseman shouted loudly and forcefully.
He held a large black sword in his hand, put his head under his arm, and took the initiative to get out of the crowd.
"If I win, please take back your plan to become the Demon King!"
"What if I win?"
"This...then I won't hinder this matter any more!"
The Headless Horseman was a bit embarrassed.
"It is indeed a bit difficult for a knight to change his allegiance on the spot."
Jiang Li nodded understandingly.
"In that case, then this is enough."
"Thank you for your understanding!"
The Headless Horseman breathed a sigh of relief.
He could not betray His Majesty the Demon King and could only make this lowest concession.
It was absolutely impossible for him to support Jiang Li on the spot.
"bring it on."
Jiang Li stretched out his hand and waved to him.
That was obviously a comfortable attitude, and it could even be said that he didn't take his opponent seriously.
But the Headless Horseman didn't have any dissatisfaction, and was even grateful.
Because he knew that Jiang Li was very strong, and given the huge difference in strength, having the opportunity to fight was already a sign of kindness from the strong.
"My name is Beldia, and I am the Headless Horseman, one of the eight cadres of the Demon King's Army! A high-ranking species among the undead, a person who serves the Demon King. Lord Kurogane, please give me your advice!"
Beldia raised his giant sword and charged forward without hesitation.
"Oops, did it turn into a fight?"
Barnier scratched the black and white mask on his face and retreated to Sylvia, the beauty in the dress, and Celestina, the beautiful priestess.
"Can you see through the direction of the battle with your clairvoyance, Lord Barnier?"
Sylvia was looking at Jiang Li with an infatuated look on her face. Seeing that happy look, she had obviously turned into a pretty girl, so she almost picked up the cheering stick.
Celestina took the initiative to come over and asked Barnier quietly.
