Chapter 155 The Princess's Past
"It seems that such an 'awesome' ability must have taken you a lot of effort, right?" The poor Taoist replied sincerely: "I won't bother Your Highness!"
"What? You don't even care about eternal life?" The princess said in surprise! However, afterwards she seemed to understand a bit and said: "You're still young now, you don't know the preciousness of life, when you grow up you'll know! Alright then! Whatever you want, I can give it to you, as long as you help me with a little favour!"
"You really have such great abilities?" Poor Dao asked doubtfully!
"Hmph! You dare to underestimate me - Princess Yulia!" The princess said in anger.
"Heavens! It's really you?!" Keli exclaimed in shock!
I find it strange, how can this old guy Kuri be an old demon who has lived for thousands of years? How come he's so out of character today? Is this Yurieya princess someone with a big background or something?
"Who is she?" Poor Tao frowned and said: "Keli, you'd better finish quickly!"
"Yu Lianya was a princess of the demon tribe that invaded the Holy Light Continent thousands of years ago!" Keli said with lingering fear: "At that time, her reputation even surpassed that of the God King and the Demon King!"
"Oh? Can't tell you're a big shot after all?" The poor Taoist said with indifference.
"Ah! I didn't think this guy had any sense, after all these thousands of years, he still knows my name!" Princess Yulia said with a hint of desolation: "So are you going to help me or not? Or do you plan on handing me over to the church in exchange for gold, military merit and glory?"
"I want to know your story first, Princess!" The poor Taoist said with a smile: "However, there is one thing I can guarantee you! Although I am now known as the 'Paladin of Light', it's a title I got under duress! In fact, I have no good feelings towards those winged humanoids in the sky! So, I can guarantee that no matter what, you will not be handed over to them!"
Princess Yulia and I stared at each other for a while, then suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and smiled: "I believe you, your eyes are very clear, absolutely a good person! Fortunately, this time she didn't fall into the hands of a bad person!" It has to be said that this little guy is beautiful, her cute appearance always makes people feel pitiful and loving.
"Hehe! Would Your Highness Princess be willing to tell me your story?" The poor Taoist asked with a smile.
"Hey! You're like that!" Princess Yuliyah said discontentedly, pouting her small mouth: "You speak to others like this? You're not a good person either!"
"Sorry!" I just remembered that she was still naked! I had forgotten about it for a moment, and could only awkwardly say: "I apologize, it's my fault. Please follow me, Your Highness, I'll arrange for you to take a bath and change into some clothes, then we can eat and talk while we walk!"
"This is just about right! But don't call me 'princess' anymore, just call me by my name!" She followed me, walking and laughing happily.
"Are you going to change your name! This name seems quite sensitive!" The poor Taoist looked at Keli and thought, "If Keli can know her name, others might also know it. What if her identity is exposed?"
"Ah! You're absolutely right, you can call me... Mei Er!" She suddenly said with a hint of sadness: "This is my nickname, only Father Emperor and Mother Empress used to call me that! Now I don't even know how they are doing!"
"Don't be sad, you may still have a chance to meet again!" I comforted.
We walked out of the secret room and found that it was already early in the second day. We had actually been inside for an entire afternoon plus a night! This egg is really hard to hatch, isn't it?
"Who is this?" Mr. Wang, who had been waiting for a long time, was anxiously pacing back and forth in front of the secret room door! From his bloodshot eyes, it could be seen that he had waited for me for an entire night! Finally seeing me come out, but discovering there was one more person! Had an assassin broken in? His heart felt a chill! He hastily asked.
"It's my guest!" The poor Taoist knew he had misunderstood, and hastily explained, then moved to say: "You haven't slept all night, have you? You've worked hard, sir. Please go rest first! Things here are over, I'll explain the rest to you later!"
"Ah! Alright!" Mr. Wang was indeed exhausted, and seeing that I was safe and sound, he too put his mind at ease and went to rest.
"Come on!" The poor Taoist shouted out loud!
"Yes, milord!" Two maidservants hastily replied!
"Take this young lady to bathe and change! The best one!" I pointed at Mei'er and said: "After you're done, bring her to see me!"
"Yes!" They said to Mei, "Please come this way!" Although they were surprised by the girl's uniqueness, they didn't show much surprise. After all, in my territory, there are many strange and exotic tribes, so they gradually became accustomed to it!
"Alright!" Mei'er smiled mischievously at me and then went off with them!
I then brought Keli to the study, sat down and asked: "Her background, tell me everything you know!"
"Ah! Yes, sir!" Krie replied, slowly closing his eyes to recall: "This continent has believed in the Church of Light since recorded history began! Almost all ethnic groups believe in it and coexist relatively peacefully! However, about 5,000 years ago, a mysterious spatial rift suddenly appeared on an uninhabited island at the southernmost tip of the continent! A spatial rift connected to the demon realm! The island was vast, roughly six times the size of our Borazil Province! The island was covered in dense forests, and the rift was located at its center! At first, demons from the demon realm emerged from the rift. They quickly established themselves with their powerful strength and began to replace the original demons, gradually surviving there!"
"The Devil's Forest of the three major forests on the mainland!" The poor Taoist had long heard of this notorious place that was isolated overseas!
"Not bad, it's just as famous as the Elf Forest and the Beast Forest - the Devil Forest!" Kuri continued: "After some time, the shadows of the demon tribe began to appear there! They saw that the living environment was much stronger than in the Demon Realm, so they started migrating on a large scale and expanded the rift, using it to establish the Demon Realm Gate!"
"What's this 'Gates of the Devil Realm'? It sounds like it has something to do with the Heavenly Gates on the Sacred Mountain of the Church?" asked the poor monk.
"They're all the same space gates, used to stabilize the spatial fissures, just leading to different places and given different names!" Krid exclaimed!
"What happened after that?" Poor Way asked!
Later, the flying reconnaissance troops they sent out brought them a shocking message. It turned out that just hundreds of miles away from them was a mysterious continent! After reconnaissance, they found that the people on this continent were weak and pitiful, but their wealth was astonishing, and they also believed in their arch-nemesis - the God tribe! Keli smiled helplessly: "What else can be the result?"
"What else can be the outcome? It's just a fight! The poor Taoist said disdainfully: "Let's talk about how to fight instead?"
"5 million demon troops poured in like a tide, regardless of beastmen, dwarves, elves or us humans, they would kill and plunder first, and then capture as slaves! How tragic!" Kuri exclaimed.
"What is the strength of the Demon Clan?" asked Poor Dao!
"The power and the divine are similar, with a complex array of troops composed of hundreds of different demon tribes. The strongest Demon Emperor tribe is on par with the angelic hosts of the Divine! Both the Demon Emperor and the Divine Emperor are super-powerful beings capable of casting 16th-level forbidden spells! Our Mei'er was the youngest daughter of the Demon Emperor back then, said to be the most doted upon by the Demon Emperor couple!" Keli sighed: "At that time, she was equivalent to a human thirteen or fourteen years old, yet her strength had already reached the realm of a Law God! Even within the Demon Emperor tribe, she was an unparalleled genius!"
"Is this all you're concerned about? It doesn't seem worth losing your composure over, does it?" the poor Daoist asked.
"Of course not!" Krie said: "At that time, the war lasted for over a hundred years, with the gods taking the lead and various races forming an alliance. The number of this unprecedented powerful army on the mainland reached as high as 30 million at its peak! In the century-long war, the shortcomings of the demon tribe were revealed, which was the replenishment of troops. The strength of the demon tribe is directly related to their strong physique and long lifespan! In a hundred years, humans can give birth to five or six generations, or even more, as long as they reach 15 years old, men can go to the battlefield, at least as cannon fodder! But in comparison, this hundred years is equivalent to Princess Mei growing from 13 to 14 years old!"
"They're still alive? But if that's the case, I'm afraid the Demon Clan is doomed!" The poor Daoist laughed and said.
"Not bad! Under the Allied Forces' sea of people tactics, the powerful demon tribe was consumed bit by bit, and in the end, less than a million troops were tightly besieged!" Krie said: "At that time, they had no internal supplies or external reinforcements, and were surrounded by ten times as many enemies. If nothing unexpected happened, all of these last elite demons, including the Demon Emperor couple, would have been wiped out here!"
"Could it be that something unexpected has happened and it's related to this princess?" I've caught on to some clues!
"Not bad!" Ke Li surprisingly said with a face full of reverence: "Princess Youliya was a legend back then! At that time, she had the Phoenix Corps in her hands, only 100,000 people, all of whom were extraordinary individuals recruited by herself from various places in the Demon Realm. They were extremely strong in battle! It's even said that they were stronger than the Magic Emperor's Imperial Guard!"
"Is it really that arrogant?" Poor Dao asked curiously!
"The most formidable thing is her unpredictable military tactics! At the beginning of the war, the gods had sent out hundreds of millions of reinforcements, planning to confront the demon tribe head-on! But they soon paid a painful price for their arrogance! Princess Yulia persuaded the Demon Emperor to adopt her plan, using herself and the Phoenix Corps as bait, luring the main force of over 2 million people led by the God Emperor into the demon tribe's ambush circle! Then, they launched a surprise attack!" Kri exclaimed, his emotions running high. The two sides then clashed in a fierce battle of rescue and annihilation! That war was fought with unprecedented ferocity, and within just one month, the gods, who were completely on the defensive, lost nearly half of their forces, with almost 3 million casualties! The demon tribe, on the other hand, lost only over 1 million!"
"What a pig! Still calling himself an emperor? Is he worthy of it? He's just a Pig Emperor!" The poor Daoist laughed and scolded: "Is that pig dead yet?"
"No! His strength was too overwhelming, he abandoned his subordinates and escaped alone, no one could stop him! However, he was still injured by the sneak attack of the Demon Emperor and couldn't command the army for a long time! Adding to that the loss of 200,000 elite troops and 3 million ordinary troops, it can be said that the Divine Tribe was almost completely defeated!" Klie sighed: "If it wasn't for this, they wouldn't have lowered themselves to form an alliance with other tribes either!"
"What happened next? What legendary deeds did this princess do to make even you, a scoundrel like Kuri, both love and hate her?" The poor monk asked expectantly!
Monthly pass! A monthly pass is like gasoline, it can keep me energized and motivated to work 9,000 hours a day, how hard is that?!
