Chapter 284: Battle of Rube Household
New chapter of The Demon King is out! (1/2 chapters)
Neufer looked like a wide, flat plain with a low-rimmed tray plopped down in the middle. Even from the air, it had a near-perfect circular wall, inside of which was the city. Thanks to the expansion of the city walls five years ago, there was plenty of land available, and military tents were lined up on the vacant lots. Farmland spread around the outer walls, and the irrigation canals built for this farmland also connected to Neufer.
At first glance, it was a magnificent view, but the rain was so strong I couldn’t keep my eyes open. This region is supposed to have low rainfall. I lowered the Eagle to the landing spot, as I was completely soaked.
“I am Yuri Hou, head of the Hou Household and regent. I wish to meet with Kien-dono.” (Yuri)
As soon as I landed, I removed my restraints and spoke. A dry cloth was handed to me, so I wiped my wet head.
“I will inform them at once.” (Soldier)
The soldier from the Rube Household seemed a little tense, but he ran off quickly. Looking around, perhaps because of the rain, something felt off. There was a peculiar murderous feeling that you get when you enter a military camp shortly after a battle. The tension, the somewhat excited atmosphere. But here, everything seemed quiet and sunken, as if everyone was dejected.
Before even a minute passed after I got off the Eagle, the soldier returned.
“The strategist will explain the situation. This way, please.” (Soldier)
