Chapter 196: The King's Generosity
The abyss is on the opposite side of the main plane. The Demon King's City and the Lords of Darkness live in the depths of the dark side. There are also countless demons. The power of the abyss will continuously penetrate into the main plane and spawn monsters. These monsters and the monsters that enter the main plane from the abyss from time to time constitute waves of demonic disasters.

Although the demons have a relatively small population, they implement an elite strategy. Every demon has extremely strong talents. Coupled with the monsters derived from the abyss, the human wave tactics of the demon disaster and the elite leaders of the demons, all the races in the main plane cannot raise their heads.

However, the upper demons have unparalleled dominance over the middle and lower demons, and the Demon King is the carrier of the power of the abyss. If they don't want to have the power of the various races in the main plane consumed by endless demonic disasters, they can only step into the abyss and kill the Demon King. This will greatly weaken the power of the lower demons and monsters, and replace them with incomparable danger.

There are twelve seats under the Demon King, all of whom are upper demons with powerful magic and extraordinary powers, holding the authority granted by the Demon King. More than a hundred years ago, a team led by Zoya and the first brave man stepped into the abyss and killed three of them at a tragic price, severely damaging the Demon King, but Zoya's team had also suffered more than half of casualties, and only the brave man and Zoya survived.

The human race took this opportunity to launch a counterattack, regained a lot of lost territories occupied by the demons, and gained more than a hundred years of stability. However, the good times did not last long. With the death of the first hero, Zoya, the fifth-level transcendent, was seriously injured and unable to exert her strength, so she had to live in seclusion. After more than a hundred years of accumulating strength, the demons began to stir again.

"Is there any unusual movement at the Wall of Sighs again?" Mo Xiu asked.

The Wall of Sighs was jointly built by the strongest country and the brave, with most of the national strength invested. It is known as the "fortress that will never fall". It stands at the teleportation entrance connecting the abyss and the main plane, resisting waves of attacks from demons and monsters.

Adam shook his head. "It's still the same as before. I once led a small team of knights to clear out the monsters. Only a small group of monsters appeared. But after more than a hundred years, I'm afraid the situation will get worse and worse. I don't know when a monster tide will break out."

He didn't believe in the Wall of Sighs. Any fortress with unlucky names like "Sighs" or "Never Fall" would never have a good ending.

“Moreover, a hundred years have passed, and the human race has gone through several generations. Those who have experienced the last demon tide and know how powerful the demons are are gradually getting old. Now the remaining new generations are mostly optimistic because of the existence of the Wall of Sighs, which is not good.” Adam said.

"I once met a demon warrior. I can only say that he was very strong, stronger than most of the people I knew in the Knights. And he was stronger in faith, skills, and strategies."

Adam shook his head. "Although the Glorious Knights are the number one corps on the continent, only the top leaders have dealt with the demons and fought against them. The new recruits below are just dreaming of being powerful and relying on the reputation of the number one corps."

"I didn't expect that even the Glorious Knights are like this now. It was not like this when I took over. It seems that this is the real reason why you left the Knights!" Mo Xiu sighed.

Adam nodded. "It's not their fault. Usually, the Knights clear out small groups of monsters scattered across the continent. Those monsters have already tried their best just to survive. How can they compare to the real elite monsters? If they don't experience blood, fire, and death, it will be difficult for them to become the real first-class army."

He sighed, "After all, it is difficult for them to recognize things they have never seen. This is not their fault. The only lesson humans have learned in history is that they do not learn any lessons. They will only feel pain when a knife cuts their body. They still have a long way to go."

"Also, the bureaucracy in the empire is very serious. I have visited various places. The Glorious Knights have not withheld military pay because of the Knight Commander's connections. However, the remaining legions and militias are reselling military rations, withholding military pay, and eating empty pay. The sword of the empire has begun to rust by its own people. This huge empire cannot escape its ultimate fate and is slowly decaying."

"The only lesson humans have learned from history is that they never learn from any lessons," Mo Xiu repeated, "It seems that the next demonic tide will cause countless people to be torn apart and killed." Adam's resolute eyes did not waver, "But only through repeated tempering can steel be made, and the most resilient soul can be forged. The huge empire is slowly decaying, and only on the ruins can a new empire be built."

"You...what do you want?" Mo Xiu looked at Adam in surprise.

Adam looked at the setting sun and said, "The sun will eventually set, but after the silent darkness comes the glorious dawn. The struggle between humans and demons cannot continue forever. It will inevitably end with one side being enslaved. Granny Zoya should have mentioned my identity to you, right? But I am also a human. Zoya and the teacher are very good to me. I don't want to see what you love destroyed."

"I came, I saw, I conquered. I will stand at the top of the world and overlook the entire world. I will overthrow this gradually decaying empire and build my own country. I will use my power to temper it into the sharpest sword. As the King of Noraz, I will kill the King of the Demons and completely eliminate the Demons."

Mo Xiu looked at Adam and moved his lips: "But this will kill many people."

"Teacher, as a warrior, you should understand the current situation. I'm afraid that we don't have much time left. More people will die by then." Adam looked at his hands. "Even if I have to use cruel means and be called a tyrant, I don't want to see the darkest moment of the human race. All the sins, hatred, and blood will be borne by me."

Adam looked up at Mo Xiu. The fierce and iron-blooded aura made Mo Xiu's hair stand on end. He heard Adam say:

"To bear the misfortune of the country, to be the king of the world; to bear the disgrace of the country, to be the master of the country, let me see if those lords of empires and kingdoms still have the tolerance of a king."

"Ah, I get it. Just do as you think. You are my disciple. If I don't support you, who else can I support? I have long been annoyed by those old guys who were arguing about the legion's pay every day when I was in power." Mo Xiu said with a smile, but his solemn eyes showed that he was not as relaxed as he said.

Adam smiled and said, "Teacher, I will use my own strength to find reliable partners. You should just enjoy your old age. I told you these just because of the thoughts in my heart. I can't help but speak them out. I don't want to drag you to rebel."

The sun finally lost all its light and night fell.

"I still need to go and see if the Demon King is really that powerful, and see if this corrupt empire can be saved. After all, I don't want to destroy everything!" Adam looked into the distance and walked towards the manor. "Let's go, teacher, it's time to eat."

Mo Xiu was left standing there alone, thinking silently, "Is this the hero from another world? Let's measure the king's bearing..."
