How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

As Floid was thinking of the humans, he decided to ask Rosavellt something.

"Do we have any protocols for attacks in the castle? If there is, then prepare them. Let's welcome the humans as best we can. We wouldn't want them to feel like we are bad hosts,"

Rosavellt bowed to Floid before she looked down at Rizi who was still smiling at Floid. Rizi gave Rosavellt a smirk when she saw her looking and Rosavellt huffed silently before turning and walking away. She should have been the one there instead! It's too bad that she has to work right now!

....

The next day, Floid asked Rosavellt if she was prepared for the human's arrival and she gladly told him that the humans would be properly welcomed. She asked Floid to just sit back and enjoy the show from the balcony of his room! He will surely be entertained!

Rosavellt made sure to take this mission that Floid gave her very seriously! It was the first time the demon lord was allowing them to carry out a mission on their own and they cannot fail him! she already told all the other maids that they will have to be at their very best for today! They must show their worth to the demon lord!

Floid could see a small smirk on Rosavellt's lips and that actually unnerved him a little! This woman does not smile! Floid has never seen Rosavellt smile when working so why in the world is she smiling while talking about this!? Floid didn't intend for Rosavellt to take this mission he gave her this seriously. He just thought that she would arrange for one or two maids to beat up the humans and send them back.

Floid would understand why Rosavellt was smiling when the army of humans finally started to arrive at the castle. The castle was located on a plateau, so the army had to climb up a hill for a while before they finally got there. They were a little tired but that didn't stop them! Such tiredness can easily be countered using Mana to strengthen the muscles again!

Aura and her army only took a minute to rest after their trek and they started to march towards the castle once again! Aura couldn't deny that this place was beautiful! Even if it is the castle of the demon. It looked nothing like what she expected! She expected dark clouds to hang in the sky and an eerie wind to be blowing left and right, but the clouds in the sky were a bright blue and the grass was greener than anything she had ever seen! Flowers were growing in large patches all around and even the air was cleaner than the one near human settlements! This is nothing like a demon lord's territory!!

It doesn't matter to her though. Aura was only here to kill any demons she sees and capture the castle! She put her sword up and commanded her army to march forward once again!

The humans that were working in the garden under the supervision of Andromeda were currently outside and applying fertilizer to the soil around the demon's lord's castle. The humans have never used this sort of fertilizer before and the ingredients for making it was kept a secret from them, but they cannot deny that it was better than anything they have ever used before!

All the humans were working quickly because of the intense glare that Andromeda was giving them. They were feeling irritated that a damn lamia was ordering them around but they couldn't say anything unless they wanted to die!

Andromeda has not yet used the fertilized soil to plant crops yet, but she can tell that the soil looked far healthier than ever before! It was so smooth and fresh to the touch! She couldn't believe that the demon lord was also this good at tending to land! He is really perfect!!

"Hey, look over there!"

"Is that an army!? It's the army! They're here to save us!!"

The humans that have been working all this time suddenly started to look up in shock as they saw the large army that was coming from the horizon. They saw that the army was made up of humans and they all started to shout in joy as they thought that the army was here to save them! The demons will finally get what they deserve!

Andromeda saw all of the humans shouting and rejoicing and she shouted at them to stay silent! No one listened to her and they even started to shout louder! Andromeda suddenly grew angry and she summoned a golem that went up to the man that was shouting the loudest and took him by the head!

"I said! Shut!! Up!!!"

Crack!

Squelch!!!!

The man's head was squeezed down on before the golem burst his head like a melon! The other people there immediately shut up as they saw this! They couldn't believe that Andromeda just killed someone like it was nothing! Throughout the time that she has been here, she hasn't even shouted at a single one of them, only Rosavellt has been commanding them forcefully! They didn't think Andromeda was the type of person that can kill without even thinking about it but it was obvious that they were wrong!! They had no intention of dying just before they were to be saved so everybody immediately went back to work!!

From the balcony overlooking everything, Floid was surprised. So Andromeda can actually shout like that? I had no idea that she could be so forceful. Is it because they are human? It has to be that! She never shouts when I or the other demons talk to her. She is always so mellow around me.

But these humans are truly amusing. To think that they will bring these many people here just to die. Floid waited to see what sort of measure Rosavellt said she put in place.

From the gate of the castle, a single person walked out. It was the Orc maid that Floid met when he came where for the first time. The tall one that had dark skin with horns on both sides of her head. She had a large mace in her hand. She carried it like it weighed nothing, but Floid could tell that the mace weight at least a ton!

The maid started to walk towards the army in the distance and she stopped right at the middle spot between the army and the castle. She placed her mace head first to the ground and put her hand on top of the handle before taking a breath to calm herself.

This Orc was named Pyra and she was the most physically gifted out of all the maids. She was the one in charge of the castle defense. Whenever there is an idiot that thinks he or she can come to the castle to either steal something or attack it then she is usually the one sent to get rid of them!

But today was special for her! Today, her lord is watching her! She had to impress him! No matter what happens, she cannot fail this task! Pyr wasn't very good at housework, so this is the only place where she can show her true worth to the demon lord! None of the humans here will escape! Not even one of them will see the light of tomorrow!!

But before Pyra does anything, they needed to cause enough commotion first. The humans were too organized. They were set up in a flanking position and it would be hard for Pyra to attack them when they are like this. If she rushes in right now it would lead to many of them going behind her and attacking the castle. She didn't want any of them to escape so she needs them to stop thinking clearly! And that is where Rizi comes in!

Rizi was a genius mechanic and a brilliant builder. And she was insane enough to create things that no one has ever thought of! The demons castle was large and it had many large towers surrounding it at many points! You might think that these towers were meant for prisoners, but you would only be partially right! Many of the towers were meant for keeping prisoners, but two of those towers belonged to Rizi, and that was where she built all of her mechanical devices. At the very top of those towers were mechanical doors that could open and close.

As the army came close enough, the doors opened and Floid felt his eyes widen when he saw a large cannon blaster rise out from the tower! It was taller than a car and longer than a freaking bus! The entire cannon was black and Floid could see that there was a large Mana stone embedded at the bottom of the cannon where the power source was supposed to be!

Floid's mouth split into a wide grin and he leaned forward over the balcony as he watched this! His heart was beating erratically and Floid recognized this feeling as excitement! How long has it been since he felt excitement!? He doesn't even remember!!

Rizi was sitting in a chair inside one of the towers. She flipped a switch and the cannons hummed as they began to power up. She had a joystick in her hand and she was calmly waiting for the cannons to power up fully before deploying. She turned to the side and she saw her master through the window of her tower. He was standing on his balcony and there was a huge grin on his face as he watched the show! Yes! This is what they wanted! They want to show their master that they have been preparing properly for his return! He is not going to be lacking in anything he needs for his fight against the humans!

The humans that were working on the farm were in disbelief! They couldn't fathom what they were seeing! Such a huge magic weapon! Is this sort of thing even possible!? They have never seen a magic weapon that was so huge before!
