Chapter 462: Least powerful province
Chapter 462: Least powerful province
The reason Rulf was shocked when he heard the reason behind the demons attacking the mercenary guild was that why do they care so much about his guild master.
‘Is it fear? Or is it hatred?’ Rulf seriously thought about it while continuously running behind the guild master.
“Haha…what do you think,”
To Rulf’s surprise, the old guild master smilingly replied to the questions he had thought in his mind.
“Don’t look surprised. I haven’t used any technique to know your inner thoughts. I just guessed it based on your character. That’s it,”
Looking at the confused expression on Rulf’s face, the old guild master clarified his confusion with a slight smile on his face.
“Hmm,” Rulf bitterly shook his head in reply to the guild master’s words as he knew that he could not hide anything from this old man.
Nevertheless, he replied to the old guild master’s earlier question, “I think it’s both. They not only hate you to death but they are also fearing you.”
“Don’t think all the demon kings are fearing me. Due to some differences in their thoughts, they always do their invasions separately. If two or three demon kings come at me at the same time, I can’t stand a chance against them,” The old guild master shook his head while explaining that the fear was in them only when they acted alone.
What would happen if multiple demon kings attack him at once?
Just thinking about these made Rulf worried about the demon invasions.
“Luckily those demon kings don’t co-operate with one another,” However, Rulf’s worry didn’t last for much longer as he recalled the old guild master’s words.
That’s right!
Every demon king hated each other and continuously tried to assassinate one another to devour their demonic essence that could increase their strength to some extent.
“That’s lucky. But that luck doesn’t stand much longer as I retrieve some data from an elite demon general in the last invasion that was a decade ago,” The old guild master poured cold water on Rulf’s thoughts about luck and continued, “According to it, one of the six demon kings became powerful all of a sudden for some unknown reason and became the leader of the other five demon king.”
“What? All the demon kings are now under the control of another demon king?” Rulf didn’t expect something like that to happen and hurriedly asked, “Then, it will be a problem to us, right?”
When all the demon kings were not under someone, all of them thought they were superior to one another and that was also a reason for continuous fights amongst themselves; however, now they were all under a single demon king, they should put aways their grudges and work together to invade the other worlds.
So, Rulf thought that this demon invasion was already under the collaboration of multiple demon kings.
Multiple demon kings means multiple demon armies.
Multiple demon armies means more destruction that would lead to thousands of deaths.
“No need to worry about that. According to my thinking and the different types of information that I have retrieved from various demon generals, it is not possible for all the demon king to invade together,” the old guild master smiled and calmed down Rulf before continuing, “Even the demon king that rules them doesn’t dare to force them to work together.”
“Really? Then we can be safe for a few more decades,” Rulf heaved a sigh of relief as there won’t be any huge invasion from the demons’ side for another couple of decades or so.
While heaving the sigh of relief, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, “So, you are saying that after few years or decades, all the demon kings will co-operate with one another in their invasions?”
So what if they were safe for a few more years. In the end, the demon kings co-operate together and would become very powerful that no even the Royal family of the Zrochester province would not save the Zrochester province.
“Yes and before that our province needed a King realm expert to oppose the demon world’s invasion at that time,” the old guild master seriously replied to Rulf and continued, “Anyway, let’s just focus on the present demon invasion and we will bother about that powerful demon army in the future.”
The old guild master didn’t want to think much about the future as they were already under a demon army’s invasion. So, he asked Rulf to focus on the current situation.
“Oaky, guild master,” Rulf also knew that thinking about the future when they were already facing some predicament was not good and nodded his head before following the old guild master without talking.
However, Rulf always had a problem of thinking about every single thing that was happening around him.
So, it didn’t take him much time before he once again thought about something and he felt it was very important to inform the old guild master.
��Should I inform the guild master about it? But, I am not 100 percent sure about it and I might be not correct with my thinking,’
However, seeing the angry expression on the guild master’s face, Rulf fell into a dilemma as he still didn’t know whether what he had thought was right or wrong.
If it was wrong, the old guild master would definitely punish him.
‘No, if it is right, then the demons would become even more powerful and the destruction of the Zrochester province will come sooner than we thought,’
Finally, Rulf steeled his heart and decided to inform him about something he had thought just now.
Among the three known provinces, Zrochester province, Ylercester province and Xacaster province; the Zrochester province had the least purity of the essence of nature in the nature compared to Ylercester province and Xacaster province had the very rich and pure essence of nature compared to the other two provinces.
Due to the purity of the essence of nature in the surroundings, the Zrochester province was the least powerful province whereas Xacaster province was known to be very powerful.
Since the Zrochester province was the least powerful and it was separated from the other two provinces, it was constantly invaded by demons and other powerful races from other worlds as it was very easy for them to invade the Zrochster province.
Even the bloodthirsty demons attacked this least powerful Zrochester province more than 10 times in the last 10 years.
Every time the demons attacked them, there would be huge losses of the Zrochester province.
Many deaths of innocent residents along with the powerful experts, who tried to save them from the clutches of the demon army.
‘Sigh…I should not let the demons become even more powerful than their present strength. Even if there is only one percent chance of my assumption to be right, then I will try my best to stop them,’ Rulf swore that he would not let anything happen to the innocent residents of the Zrochester province.
“Guild master, I have thought of a possibility to one of your previous questions,” Rulf tried to slow down the speed of the guild master and he had successfully made him slow down.
“Huh?” The old guild master looked at Rulf while raising his brows and waited for him to continue.
