At night, the Lord's mansion in the city of Yuleis was brightly lit. After a day of battle, rumors among the demon race in Yuleis City spread that we had defeated the human race with over a million troops. While I thought a loss of 100,000 soldiers was a heavy blow, in their eyes it was only a minor loss and a great victory. Perception is truly different. In previous wars, casualties had never exceeded 10,000. However, this time I had already done my best, and yet so many demon soldiers still died.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door next to mine. I quickly straightened myself in front of the dressing table and ran to the master's room. The door was open, and she was sitting by the dining table. Her expression was not unusual, but she seemed more amiable in front of me than she was during the day outside.

Without showing any worry, I sat across from her and leaned on the table, asking her, "What does the master think about this war?"

The master only gave a sideways glance with her hand against her chin, deep in thought. "It is a small victory for our demon race. The humans chose to retreat this time. Setting aside their heavy losses, their morale will definitely be greatly affected. With continuous failures and retreats, a heavy gloom will shroud over the human race. On the other hand, our demon race became even more morale-pumped after this battle. If the humans continue like this, it will be an easy task for us to take over their country."

"So, we have achieved a great victory..." Watching the hopeful glint in the master's red eyes, I felt relieved as the demon race still had a high chance of winning. I did not want a day to come where the humans would catch us off guard or use some sort of trick against us. I could protect myself, but I could not guarantee the master's safety. Therefore, I hoped that the demon race would become more and more stable.

"Well, as for the loss of troops, the human race also suffered a loss of nearly half their troops, so you don't need to worry about that."

In this world, so many people die in every war, both human and demon alike. Our demon race only has a population of over one million, while humans have a population of nearly twenty million. If tens of thousands of people continue to die in every war, I am worried that one day the demon race will not be able to withstand it. After all, the demon race's birth rate is lower than that of humans.

"Oh, by the way, master, I have captured two humans. I want to ask them about the human hot air balloons. If the demon race can use them on the battlefield, it will be more of a challenge for the humans."

"Mm, I will think about it."

There were not many humans left in Yuleis City. Initially, we did not have time to capture them and enslave them, and they had always been in rebellion, so we had to kill all of them. If only I could use the knowledge from my previous life on Earth about war, such as tanks and airplanes, but I do not understand the principles behind them. I was not that great in my past life, so how could I understand how to make airplanes. Lost in thought for a while, I finally realized that the master had already closed her eyes and was resting.

"Well, then, I will take a bath first and come back to play with you later."

I felt that the current atmosphere was too serious for hugs and such. After taking a bath, I would feel more comfortable, and my hand would feel nice when hugged by the master. "Mm, go ahead."

As I stood up to leave, I saw a person standing in front of my door. "Hey, Yiluodiya."

She greeted me as I approached her. It was Nora, still with her red curly hair and a dumb expression. The grey and white casual clothes slightly outlined her feminine curves. "It's been a long time. Can we talk?"Nora is much more restrained when talking to me now, not as affectionate as she used to be, always hugging my shoulder before the incident with Vinales. If you think about it, Nora is actually quite generous. After I injured her favorite Vinales, or rather insulted Vinales in front of her and criticized what she did for the master, she was angry at first but later apologized to me. Now she wants to improve her relationship with me and I can't refuse, so I nodded. I pushed open the door in front of her and led her into the room. "How do you feel after battling for so long?" I looked around my room and couldn't find anything to offer her. "I feel great." Small talk. "I didn't expect to see each other so soon again. Has anything interesting happened over here?" "Nothing interesting, but there have been many bad things." But what I feel most sorry about is the gryphon named Clos. Since Clos died, the master has never mentioned it or even set a memorial day. Speaking of which, the master doesn't usually talk about her parents, the former demon king. "Don't talk about bad things, it will affect the mood. There are many interesting things on my side, do you want to hear?" Enthusiastic, with eyes shining with excitement, it's hard to refuse. Listening to Nora's chatter, it feels like I'm back in the old days when nothing happened. It's quite comfortable. After chatting with Nora for a while, I sent her away and opened the closet door to choose clothes to take a shower. The door was knocked again. I closed the closet, turned around and walked over to open the door. Outside the door was Linsi Daisy. "Lord Yiluodiya, that human said she wants to see you." "Which one?" "The female human named Sif." I hesitated and stared at Linsi Daisy for a moment before nodding. "Let's go." Linsi Daisy led the way for me. After the battle, I directly kept the two servants locked up in the servant dormitory of the city lord mansion. Since there were few of us demons and we cleared out the humans, there were many rooms left. They didn't resist stubbornly like Minnis did before, so I treated them slightly better. I hadn't visited them for several days because I focused all my energy on thinking about the consequences of the battle and paying attention to the logistics of the soldiers. Now that the master has recognized our victory, I have the mind to care about those two people. "Why did she want to see me?" "I don't know, when we delivered dinner to her, she kept saying she wanted to see you." Could there be any important information she wants to report to me? Sif, this human was very unusual when I caught her, as if she was deliberately trying to please me. I accelerated my pace and walked over, opening the room where she was held. The room was filled with warm yellow light, and Sif was chained to the bed by someone with a chain. She looked at me with excitement as soon as she saw me walk in, as if the chains on her hands and feet didn't exist. "Yiluodiya looks even more fascinating in casual clothes." My mouth twitched. I guessed right that it was my beauty that attracted her. No wonder Ferris shouted that he didn't expect the hero to be defeated by a woman. "Aren't you afraid of me?" "Why should I be afraid of you?" "I'm Yiluodiya, whom humans tremble at the mention of." "That was all in the past." Sif swayed her legs, and the ankle chains rattled. "And after seeing you in person, I find that your charisma is completely different from what is described in books."The first human who did not have prejudice against me, even though I was reluctant, my fondness for Sif grew uncontrollably.

"Why did you come to find me?" Sif asked.

"I've been envious," I replied.

"Envious of what?"

"I've been wanting to see you."

Sif looked at me, her face serious, as if confessing her love. I was taken aback, not knowing how to react, standing there dumbfounded.

Finally, I regained my senses and found Sif smiling sweetly at me. My heart was in a turmoil. Could it be that she was just smitten with me at first sight? But I am the devil described in human books, the mastermind behind destroying their peace.

"Don't you hate me?" I asked.

"Why would I hate you?" Sif replied.

"I am leading the demon army to invade your human race," I reminded her.

"Yes, but it is not something you wanted to do, right? If it weren't for the demon king's order to launch a total attack on humans, you wouldn't be fighting on the front lines, would you? It's not all your fault."

I was touched by Sif's unique perspective. I have always been a villain, but Sif didn't see me that way, especially considering she grew up under the hatred towards the demon race.

"Don't you worry about your country?" I asked.

Everyone has a national consciousness, and if their country is on the verge of collapse, they would not be able to smile. "Of course I worry, but we have done our best," Sif answered with calmness that shocked me. She successfully caught my attention.

"Do you not feel ashamed to surrender to me so easily?" I asked her.

"It is shameful, but if I die, everything is lost. Besides, the opponent is such a delicate and lovely girl... I feel even more beautiful seeing her up close. When I aimed through the crosshairs, I was amazed. Seeing her up close makes me even more fascinated."

"You are really..." I couldn't finish my sentence.

"Be careful, or I will kill you," Sif said, shaking her head with a smile.

"You won't kill me, because I am completely useless to your demon race now. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already. That's why I can talk to you like this," Sif explained.

Damn, her mind is so agile.

I wasn't even angry, and even wanted to continue talking to her.

"You are interesting," I said.

Sif blushed slightly, showing a happy expression. "If you find me interesting, why don't you sit next to me and talk to me about anything? I also like talking to you."

I thought that sitting down next to her might lead to me being molested, so I declined.
