Chapter 160 Good news sent to the rear
"Magic City Daily"
[Headline title: The storm at the Gate of Chaos subsided, and the Demon King's army played a triumphal song to declare victory! 】
【Recently, the "Chaos Gate" incident that shocked the entire hell has finally settled! As the culprit, the notorious ogre Carson Skullbreaker, was beheaded by the Demon King's minions on the battlefield, the good news from the front line arrived in the Demon City. Our reporter learned from an interview with the Demon King's Management Department that the necropolis has finally returned to its long-lost peace!
《The Beginning of Erosion! A conspiracy was uncovered and a duel triggered a war! 》
According to the report sent to the rear from the necropolis, the cause of the entire incident was that Carson Skullbreaker used a forbidden ritual to open the legendary Gate of Chaos in the maze. As a result, he did not want an accident to happen in the middle of the ritual - Xino Dragon, the second son of the Dragon family, challenged the Demon King to a duel over the ownership of the territory!
In this duel incident that attracted the attention of the entire Magic City, the evil ritual of Summoning Chaos by the Skullbreaker clan was accidentally broken by Xino Dragon. As a result, Carson Skullbreaker had to resort to tricks and hastily launched a rebellion in an attempt to silence Xino to cover up the evil ritual of summoning the Chaos Gate. This caused fluctuations in the subspace, causing the live broadcast of the arena to be interrupted.
Kasen·Skull Crushing’s behavior is undoubtedly a deception. No breath of chaos can escape the eyes of the priests of the Ministry of Truth!
Following the revelation of Carson Skullshatter's conspiracy, the Demon King Management Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs attached great importance to the matter, activated the teleportation array in Calamity Castle, and dispatched the Demon King and reinforcements to the Shattered Rock Peak area.
After a week of long journey, the Demon King who rushed back to the front line from the Magic City finally joined forces with the defense force of the Necropolis and took the initiative to attack the Gate of Chaos. He successfully controlled the corruption of Chaos on the fifth floor of the maze and at the same time rescued the second son of the Dragon family from the siege of Chaos!
《The flames of destruction are coming, and the battlefield is full of dangers! 》
Facing the Demon King who returned to the front line from the Demon City, Carson Skullbreaker, who was afraid of punishment, did not surrender, but chose to go further and further down the wrong path! Under the bewitchment of Kalmandes and his servants, he used evil rituals to call for the arrival of the Flame of Destruction clone and the Chosen God of Destruction, trying to introduce the destructive power of the outside world to overthrow the rule of the Demon King!
It was a burning sun, emitting endless light of destruction. According to eyewitness descriptions, its temperature was enough to melt rocks into magma!
With the completion of the evil ritual, the entire fifth floor of the labyrinth was shrouded in the destructive power of the flames. The scorching flames instantly engulfed everything on the battlefield, killing countless warriors in a sea of fire, and even the air was filled with despair.
Just when everyone thought that everything would be irreversible, the Demon King of the Necropolis stepped forward and, with the blessing given by the Demon God, single-handedly turned the tide of the war!
At his call, endless roots spread downward from the dome, like a giant hand holding Kalmandes's clone tightly! This feat shocked the entire audience and boosted the morale of the Demon King's army. At the same time, it also caused the Chaos army to completely lose the courage to resist and fled in fear!
"The culprit was killed, and the Demon King's army won a complete victory! 》
After suppressing Kalmandes, the Demon King's army took advantage of the victory to pursue the remnants of Carson Skullbreaker, and the Shadow Demon General Thanos trapped them in the cracks of the dungeon. In the end, this traitor was beheaded by Thanos along with the Chaos God Chosen, and his soul was imprisoned by necromancy and imprisoned in the soul cage of the necropolis. What awaits them will be the most severe "soul crushing" punishment!
The Chaos Gate was closed, and the underground city returned to tranquility. This epic victory once again proved the invincibility of the Demon King's army, and also shattered the unrealistic illusions of all rebels. After the war, the Demon King's Army quickly began post-war recovery work and completely sealed the remaining energy of the Chaos Gate to ensure that such an incident would never happen again.
For more details about this battle, please pay attention to the follow-up reports of "Modu Daily"!

The suburbs of the Magic City.
The manor of the Dragon family.
Kamu, who was sitting in the study at the top of the tower, looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face as gloomy as the deep lake water, making it difficult to tell the depth.
The image played by the Dragon family in the entire report is quite positive, and all the blame is placed on the head of an ogre named Carson Skullbreaker.
This is something to be happy about.
However, thinking of the high price, he couldn't be happy at all.
Looking at the master who was in a bad mood, the servant who walked into the room with a tea cup did not dare to take a breath. He placed the black tea on the table cautiously, and then hurriedly exited the room.
At almost the same time as he walked out of the room, he heard the sound of breaking cups coming from the room as he closed the door behind him.
His heart suddenly thumped, and he quickened his pace and left here.
And just as he passed the corner of the corridor, he happened to see several servants standing by the window, whispering with evasive expressions.
"Have you read the newspaper?"
"Yes, I have...but I don't understand, what does this have to do with the Dragon family?"
Hearing the interesting content from the whispering voice, the servant who had just exited the master's room couldn't help but slow down.
At the same time, the older servant standing by the window lowered his voice and continued.
"The reason is that it doesn't matter, it's not free... It is said that in order to clear the relationship between the Dragon family and the Chaos Gate, the master compensated the Black Wind Valley to the lord of the Necropolis, so that his brother appeared in a positive image in the report sent back to the Demon City!"
"The Demon King who compensated the Black Wind Valley to the Necropolis?!"
"I remember correctly...that was a barony, right?!"
"Really or false?"
"As for spending such a large amount of money?!"
"This is simply blackmail!!"
Some servants were stunned, while the rest were filled with indignation.
The slightly older servant sighed and said in a low tone.
"It can't be wrong! Early yesterday morning, the housekeeper arranged for someone to go there. I heard that all the things that could be moved were moved from Black Wind Valley... If the ownership of the land had not changed, there would be no need for the master to do this!"
He also felt that the price was too heavy.
Perhaps there are other exchanges of interests or hidden secrets behind this, but that is not something that a mere servant of his can know.
While everyone was shocked by Master Kamu's handiwork, they could not help but feel sorry for the loss of the Dragon family's property.
They are all servants who have been loyal to the Dragon family for generations, and their interests have long been tied to the name of the Dragon family. It can be said that they are both prosperous and disadvantaged.
Now that the Dragon family is in bad luck, they can't help but feel heavy.
One of the servants whispered, trying to comfort everyone.
"Isn't the castle there already smashed to pieces? Just give it to me, it's no big deal..."
The older servant shook his head and sighed.
"That's what I say, but it's still 100,000 acres of land, and it's right next to the Magic City!"
One hundred thousand acres of land!
The more he thought about it, the more heartache he felt!
Not only did the older servant think so, but the servant who was standing at the corner of the corridor and eavesdropped could not help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder the master is in a bad mood.
This time there was really heavy bleeding...
...
It was not just the servants in the Dragon family manor who were talking about it.
As the news of the Dragon family moving from Blackwind Valley spread like wildfire, the nobles in the entire Demon City heard about the embarrassing story of the Dragon family suffering at the hands of the Demon King in the Necropolis.
As the saying goes, a smile never disappears, it just moves from one person's face to another.
Just when Kamu Dragon was sulking, a laughter as sweet as wind chimes rang out in the garden in front of the dormitory building of the Demonic Academy of Demons.
In the dome pavilion in the center of the garden, a pleasant-looking vampire girl was sitting in front of a round stone table. A long light blue dress hangs elegantly on both sides of the gilded wooden chair. Under the long dark purple hair is a face as delicate and flawless as porcelain.
At this moment, a fresh copy of "Modu Daily" was spread out in front of her, and she was smiling happily while looking at the headlines of the newspaper, her fair face flushed.
"Hehehe... As expected of an elder brother, small characters like the Dragon family are no match for him!"
Muttering to herself, Vivian caressed the ink painting on the newspaper with an intoxicated expression. She gently fiddled with the majestic "paper man" in the frame with her green-white index finger, and giggled from time to time as she watched him frown and dodge.
It would be great if my brother in real life could be teased by me like this.
· Thinking of that person's angry look, her eyelashes couldn't help but twitch slightly, as if she was immersed in some unrealistic and impossible fantasy.
But the fantasy did not last long. Suddenly realizing something, she quickly frowned and woke up from her daydream.
· Wait——
· If I can play with my respected brother at will, shouldn’t others be able to do it too?
She froze when she thought of this. Her hand pressed harder on the newspaper, and her already pale index finger turned white and blue.
Feeling the terrifying power that could crush the paper into dust, the face of the paper man living in the frame changed slightly, and disappeared from the newspaper in a flash.
Looking at her "brother" escaping from the oil painting, Vivian felt a trace of jealousy deep in her heart.
Especially when she saw the name of a certain misbehaving succubus at the end of the report, a sadness that was enough to melt steel into molten iron surged out of her heart.
As expected, it is better to destroy this issue of the newspaper.
With the power of the Colin family, annihilating just one issue of the newspaper is not a problem at all!
The worst she can do is take it back for ten or a hundred times the price!
certainly.
That’s what she thought.
Even if her grandfather dotes on her so much, she can't really act like this...
Glancing at her sister who was looking silly at the photo, Nan Fu, who was sitting opposite, took a sip of black tea and used the tea cup to block the indescribable expression.
This guy seems to have completely forgotten which side he was on when the Dragon family and his brother fought against each other...
But having said that, the Dragon family did go too far in that matter, and they dared to take advantage of the heirs of the Colin family.
If Grandpa knew, he would definitely let them...
Nan Fu suddenly fell into silence.
Okay.
He was not sure what his grandfather would do if he found out. He might beat his own father before beating up the Dragon family.
Either situation is possible.
Placing the teacup in his hand back on the tray, Nan Fu coughed lightly, his voice full of infinite emotion.
"I didn't expect that the Dragon family would actually give in."
Vivian raised the corner of her mouth and said with an arrogant look.
"What if?"
Nan Fu shrugged his shoulders.
"I just think... with their energy, there are many ways to make a person disappear, right? Just like in the drama——"
Before Nan Fu could finish his words, a surging murderous aura enveloped his head, making him shiver involuntarily.
"They dare!"
Looking at his murderous sister, Nan Fu quickly waved his hands and leaned back, his thin body almost falling off the chair.
But everything seems to be too late——
"Wait, wait! I am assuming! Hypothesis! And of course I don't want this to happen... What's the use of beating me up!"
...
The Colin family's way of expressing friendship is always different from ordinary people, and the students of the High Demon Academy have long been accustomed to this.
He was repaired inexplicably, and Nan Fu looked aggrieved, but seeing that his sister was in a better mood again, he couldn't help but feel a little comforted.
It can be seen that his sister is really worried about her eldest brother's safety.
If his father knew, he would definitely be happy...
Nan Fu, who was still young, was worried about family affairs, although most of the time it was meaningless worry.
Humbling down, Vivian stopped talking to him. Instead, she hummed a light tune and started writing a letter on the open paper.
Putting aside the rumors about the Dragon family, her respected eldest brother defeated the invasion of Chaos on the battlefield!
How could such a proud thing be without her congratulations?
Unconsciously, the respect like a torrential river filled a whole page, but Vivian still had no intention of stopping.
It was not until the light emitted by the amethyst dome was shaking that she left a line of graceful signature at the end.
【——My sister, Vivian Colin, who is looking forward to seeing you again. 】
Writing it this way, does it seem too deliberate?
Worried about gain and loss, she finally couldn't help but recite the incantation, and used extraordinary power to erase the line of inscription she had just written.
At the same time, on the other side, in the Demon King Academy next door, the sound of laughter also echoed in the principal's office.
"Hahahahaha! You are indeed my student! You really did not disappoint me!"
The swaying soul fire shimmered with admiration, and Principal Alvin Kruger, who was holding the newspaper in his hand, had a satisfied smile on his face, as if the good news was not delivered to the Demon King Management Department, but to his own desk.
In fact, there is no difference.
For him, who is full of talents, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is like a place where he takes a walk after dinner.
Just after Luo Yan's letter was sent back, he had already received the news from several students.
Looking at Principal Alvin who was laughing heartily, Vice Principal Doreen standing aside had a slightly sad face.
As a grief demon, every time she was worried, the temperature of the room would drop by more than ten degrees, so that the windows not far away were covered with frost.
"Have you heard about the Dragon family?"
Putting the newspaper in his hand aside, Principal Ivan said with a careless smile.
"I heard something, what happened?"
Vice Principal Doreen sighed quietly.
"Based on my understanding of the Dragon family... I always feel that those guys don't bow their heads so easily."
Seeing the worry in the vice-principal's eyes, Principal Ivan gave her a comforting look and said with a smile.
"If it's a matter about the Dragon family, I don't think you need to worry. This guy is smarter than we thought. He has already considered it... and even solved it."
"Oh?"
Vice Principal Doreen had a surprised expression on her face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then asked.
"What do you mean?"
Principal Ivan continued with a smile that did not change.
"Do you still remember the previous duel? Those twelve magic crystal cannons that shook the whole place."
"Of course I remember, in the next few days, that thing was broadcast in the cafeteria all day long...But I don't understand, does this have something to do with what I said?" Vice Principal Doreen looked at him in confusion, unable to figure out the logical relationship.
principal Ai Wen continued slowly.
"It's a big deal. When the cannon fired, Caesar Colin, who was standing next to me watching the battle, his eyes widened. He immediately bought them all in the name of the cabinet and sent them to the front line for testing through the Ministry of War overnight. The final test results were also quite shocking. People... The frontline generals were full of praise for this war machine, and within two days they wrote back to express their wish to purchase more to replace the sulfur cannons made by the hell dwarves deployed in the frontline fortresses. "
Doreen said blankly.
"...Then what?"
Aven continued.
"Then he wrote to Prince Colin, saying that the transportation resources of the teleportation array are limited and the cost is expensive... Therefore, he plans to open the factory near the magic city where the cost of raw materials and labor is lower."
Doreen's face immediately showed an expression of surprise, and she vaguely guessed something.
"You mean..."
Principal Irvine had an appreciative smile on his face and said with approval in his voice.
"I don't know what agreement he reached with the Dragon family, but shortly after the agreement was reached, the location of this war workshop was decided in Blackwind Valley, and the person responsible for the construction seemed to be someone from the Padridge family."
Doreen looked at him in surprise and said.
"Did he bring the Padrich family into it?"
"This is the smartest thing about this kid," Principal Ivan said with a smile. "Today's Black Wind Valley is no longer just a problem between him and the Dragon family, but also involves orders from the Ministry of War and the interests of partners. Even if the Dragon family wants to regret it, they have to weigh the consequences of offending two groups of people at the same time." Doreen was silent for a while and sighed softly.
"I have nothing to say... Maybe you are right, he is the most suitable graduate for the profession of Demon King among all the students who have graduated from our Demon King Academy in the past few decades."
Principal Ivan laughed proudly, his nose wanted to be raised to the sky, and he said without blushing at all.
"Hahahaha, that's natural! I've lived for so many years and I've never looked at anyone wrong!"
