"Oh my, is this the Demon World? These enemies are terrifyingly strong!"
Borsalino, dressed in a yellow suit and a new model of the Justice cloak, stepped out of the Dimensional Gate.
"Kizaru, this time the enemies are not ordinary people; take them seriously."
Aokiji, also an Admiral of the Navy, walked over afterwards.
"This… this… what a… what a perverted guy!!!"
Rias and the others looked at Kizaru walking over and shouted in shock.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it a bit too rude to say that to someone you're meeting for the first time?"
Before Kizaru could say anything more, Rias and the others' shocked voices reached him.
"It's true! I think Rias and the others are right!"
Rimuru looked at Kizaru and nodded in agreement.
"His Majesty Rimuru, whose side are you on anyway!"
Kizaru looked at Rimuru, who was speaking up for the enemy, with a speechless expression.
"Rias and the others aren't enemies."
"Uh… then who are the enemies?"
Hearing that these beautiful girls in front of him were not enemies, Kizaru asked with a puzzled expression.
"It's this old geezer, and those guys trying to stop us."
Zhong Chen heard this and pointed at the Phoenix Clan Leader and many high-ranking demons.
"I see. It seems this old man can finally contribute to the Monster Country Federation this time."
Issho, also known as Fujitora, whose eyes had been healed and who held a cane sword, said with a smile.
"The Army's First Legion has all arrived! Legion Commander Giyu Tomioka reporting!"
"The Army's Second Legion has all arrived! Legion Commander Sanemi Shinazugawa reporting!"
"The Army's Third Legion has all arrived! Legion Commander Gion reporting!"
"The Army's Fifth Legion has all arrived…!"
"Navy…"
As numerous legions continued to arrive, the tens of thousands of troops made many high-ranking demons break out in a cold sweat.
Every single one of them possessed the strength of an Intermediate Devil or higher; there wasn't a single one with the strength of a Low-Class Devil.
Among them, the auras of Devil King-level beings could be felt, numbering no less than two hundred.
As for those above the Devil King level, they were not few either.
"Lord Chen, all legions have arrived. Please give your orders!"
Benimaru, dressed in a magnificent Supreme Commander uniform, came before Zhong Chen, saluted, and shouted.
"Haha, alright, put it down. Before we start fighting, I'll ask if the other side has any intention of surrendering."
"A Chen, you're having a good time over here. Lord Rimuru said you're flirting again?"
Just as Zhong Chen was about to go and talk to the other side, a slightly resentful voice reached his ears.
"Oh my, look who it is. Isn't it my dear Secretary-General, Miss Kanae?"
Turning his head to see the owner of the voice, Zhong Chen immediately changed his expression and went over to flatter her.
There was nothing he could do; Zhong Chen actually felt indebted to Kanae Kocho. Sakuya and Rimuru had always been able to stay by his side.
Only Kanae Kocho, as his Secretary-General, had to handle many things for him, the hands-off boss.
This led to the two of them spending much less time together compared to others.
"Oh my, so the great Prince still remembers he has a secretary?"
Kanae Kocho looked at Zhong Chen, who was flattering her. Although she was very happy inside, she continued to tease him with her words.
"Hehe, I know I was wrong. You should stay here tonight and not go back! Our short separation is better than a newlywed reunion…"
Seeing that Kanae still didn't intend to forgive him, Zhong Chen directly resorted to his trump card.
"You… you, keep your voice down, everyone can hear you!"
When Kanae heard Zhong Chen's words, as if she thought of something, her face instantly flushed. She gently patted Zhong Chen and said in a low, embarrassed voice.
"Hehe, no one will hear. Did you hear anything?"
Zhong Chen asked loudly to his surroundings.
"No… no…"
"Right, we didn't hear anything!"
"Ah, what was I going to do just now… why did I forget…"
The high-ranking military officials of the Monster Country Federation instantly began looking around, all claiming they hadn't heard anything.
Who doesn't know you're petty? That guy who shouted 'Long live Lord Rimuru' last time was sent to the Imperial Guard for retirement under some excuse you found.
They even suspected that the reason the Imperial Guard wasn't brought this time was partly because of that guy.
"Ahem… getting back to the point, Sirzechs, these are all the troops I have. I'll give you time to gather your Army, so you don't say I won unfairly!"
Seeing that he had appeased Kanae, Zhong Chen's expression gradually became serious, and he spoke to Sirzechs with a hint of coldness in his tone.
"Mr. Zhong Chen, is there no possibility of peace?"
Sirzechs looked at the countless strong individuals on the other side and asked with a solemn expression.
"If you surrender and announce your incorporation into the Monster Country Federation, this war can end!"
Upon hearing Zhong Chen's words, Sirzechs, who wanted to say more, was stopped by Ajuka Beelzebub, who was beside him.
"Alright, Sirzechs, don't you see? The other party clearly planned this for a long time. The Phoenix Family incident was just a pretext."
"Even without this incident, the other party would have found another reason to declare war on us. Gather the Army!"
"Hmph, Lord Devil Kings, I told you long ago that this guy is no good. If we had acted against them earlier… Ah ah ah… Uh… Uh…!"
Before the Phoenix Clan Leader could finish speaking, Testarossa, dressed in a white gown, appeared before him.
She directly threw black flames containing curses onto him.
The Phoenix Clan Leader, upon contact with the flames, immediately began bleeding from all seven orifices.
His hands uncontrollably clasped his own neck, trying to say something, but unable to.
He could only watch his own hands with immense fear as they twisted his neck.
"Hmph, disrespecting my master. Letting you die like this is already lenient!"
Testarossa took out a white silk handkerchief to wipe her delicate hands, then threw it to the ground with a look of disgust.
"Ajuka, notify all devil families to gather their troops. We are probably going to fight a war of extinction!"
Sirzechs stared intently at Testarossa. The flames just now had given him a feeling of trepidation.
It was as if if he touched them, he would suffer the same fate as the Phoenix Clan Leader.
Zhong Chen and the others watched as the other side gathered their troops, showing no intention of stopping them.
As time continued to pass, the various families who received the order also began to frantically summon their armies.
The Astarte Family, Glasya-Labolas Family, Bael Family, Belial Family, and other prominent devil noble families all dispatched their highest combat forces.
"Holy cow, are there really so many devils? Didn't they say there weren't many pure-blooded devils? This is 'not many'!"
"As expected of cunning devils, always deceiving the world!"
Zhong Chen looked at the Army of over two million in front of him, and the devils still continuously gathering, and shouted in surprise.
Rimuru looked at the other side, then looked back at his own side, feeling that they seemed to be losing in terms of momentum. He turned to Zhong Chen and asked:
"A Chen, there are so many people on the other side, shouldn't we call for more people?"
Zhong Chen, however, waved his hand indifferently, revealing an expression similar to a principal's, and shouted:
"No need! No matter what, the battle forces are 130,000 against 2 million. The advantage is mine!"
