Chapter 492: To Surrender or Not to Surrender?

Dead.

All dead…

More than five hundred enchanted monsters were defeated in less than ten minutes.

Since they were enchanted using the “Unique Skill — Demon King,” I could clearly sense their condition.

However, the power I had worked so hard to build over the past few years… was destroyed in just a few minutes?

Although I had already overestimated the fighting strength of the human race brought by that hero, it seemed that I still underestimated them greatly.

Chen Ke sat slumped on the skeletal throne, shocked and unable to close his mouth for a long time.

It is important to know that even if my three hundred demon race soldiers faced those five hundred enchanted monsters, while they could win, after defeating the enchanted monsters, the demon race would still suffer heavy casualties.

If such a terrifying enemy could easily deal with five hundred enchanted monsters, even if more than three hundred demon race members went to fight, the result would likely be the same.

Right now… it seemed that surrender was the only option left.

But if I surrendered, would that hero, who was a reincarnator, let me go? After all, since ancient times, heroes and Demon Kings had fought until one side was dead.

What should I do…

“Sigh…”

Chen Ke couldn’t sit still. He got up from the skeleton throne and began to walk back and forth on the platform, deep in thought.

The skeleton throne was already in this Conference Hall; it wasn’t made from the bones he collected by sending his demon race underlings to slaughter in the subhuman country.

He didn’t have that kind of courage. When he made the wish to “become the Demon King” under the gods, it wasn’t because he was a great evil person, but because he had been influenced by many light novels and anime he had seen in his past life.

He originally thought that after being reborn, he could have a harem like in those novels and anime, but that wasn’t the case.

There were indeed some beautiful girls in the demon race, but Chen Ke couldn’t act on them.

The reason was simple: these demon race beauties had watched him grow up, and when he was a baby, they had taken care of all his needs.

If he were to act on them, it wouldn’t just be shameless; it could even be called unethical!

Moreover, with his appearance as a small boy of six or seven years old, even if he wanted to do something, he would have the will but no power.

“Lord of the Demon King, please tell us what to do! Even if it means that we, who are used to hiding, must give our lives to fight our way through for you, we will not complain!”

Below, members of the demon race shouted loudly from time to time.

“I do not doubt your determination, but based on the strength shown by the people the hero has brought, having you protect me while we rush out would lead to our demise.”

The little boy let out a long, wise sigh and then waved his small hand.

“Surrender; perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope.”

“Lord of the Demon King…”

“I have made my decision. Alright, the hero is already outside the door. Do you hear? From the sound of footsteps outside, it seems there are more of them than us.”

Chen Ke waved his hand again, and then two elders of the demon race sighed deeply and stepped forward, almost as if they were ready to face death as they tilted their heads and opened the big door.

Outside the door were countless humans.

Numerous cold eyes stared at the two demon elders who opened the door, making them break out in a cold sweat.

Among the many humans before them, each one of them felt a great deal of pressure.

“Excuse me, which one of you is the brave hero?”

Although they understood that the hero could very likely be a child, just like their Lord of the Demon King, who was about six or seven years old, among the human army… or rather the army of women, they could see several young girls who appeared to be only six or seven years old.

“It’s me.”

He Qiwen stepped forward and said.

Through her assessment, she also saw the levels of the two elders who opened the door.

The two elders of the demon race were of Class A high rank.

In the past, He Qiwen would have certainly sighed in her heart.

After all, if it were the human race, a Class A high rank human was very rare.

“Brave Sir, what we want to know is, if the demon race surrenders, how do you plan to deal with us?”

One of the elders looked up, staring intently at the little girl while feeling anxious inside.

The two elders did not invite the “human race” outside into the Conference Hall to confront Chen Ke; instead, they thought that if the humans insisted on wiping them out, they would take the opportunity to strike back, capturing as many humans as they could while letting the other Class A demon race members and the Demon King escape from the dungeon amidst the chaos.

“How I deal with you is not for me to say.”

He Qiwen shook her head and looked toward the stone door; she could vaguely see a small figure standing on the high platform in the hall.

“You can’t decide?”

The two elders were clearly taken aback.

“You all might think that I am here with human forces to attack you, right? Actually, you are wrong. These beautiful women beside me are not human; they are from the ant tribe.”

“Ant tribe…?!”

“Oh, right, you are from the demon race that everyone on the continent wants to fight, so you must be very out of touch with the news.”

He Qiwen shook her head.

“Let your Demon King come out to talk. And don’t think about trying to fight your way out or escape in the chaos. Although we are opponents, at this moment, I can say that I and your Lord of the Demon King are like brothers in hardship. Believe me; otherwise, you will definitely face a terrible end.”

The little girl seemed completely unbothered by the presence of Lin Yu and the other members of the ant tribe; she just continued to speak to herself.

“These guys beside me are monsters. Once they have used me to capture all of you, they will imprison me forever in a secret room of some castle, using all kinds of tools—ah!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yu next to her finally couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her hand and lightly tapped her on the head, but this action seemed to have the opposite effect.

The two elder demons were initially scared while listening to He Qiwen’s story, but then they relaxed a bit when they saw the white-haired girl, who seemed to be the leader, speaking and teaching the young girl.

From the looks of it, they did not seem to intend to kill everyone?

“Would you all mind coming into our Conference Hall to talk?”

The two of them stepped aside and asked.

“Not at all, let’s talk in your great hall.”

So, except for the thousands of daughters following behind them, Lin Yu only took the leaders and another fifty strong daughters into the hall.
