Gacha Sovereign

70 To The Battlefield

Alex with the Fox went to the Sagur Forest. A forest beside Wilow Plain, the plain which the war takes place.

Since he comes with Sherry, the journey took about 2 days running from the Celestial forest.

He chose Sagur Forest since the forest was close enough for him to observed the Wilow plain. He can watch the war there. Alex had never seen any real war before, so he was really curious about it.

This was the reason Alex wanted to go to the battlefield.

Alex reached the forest perimeter. He chose one of the big trees to sat on it. He can see there are two big camps, on his left side, he saw a big tent in white surrounded by many smaller tents. He saw two flags, one flag has golden-colored four pairs of wing pattern. And the other was a big Z covered with five pairs of claws.

"That must be the human camp, The flag with wings pattern must be the holy kingdom and the one with a big Z on it must be Zircodina kingdom."

He tried to speculate the number of human soldiers there. He speculated there will be around two hundred thousand soldiers there. Well, this was the first time he saw a war, let alone speculating the number of troops.

After He saw five big catapults, he contemplated. "Will there any use for them?"

Alex shrugged his shoulder. Whatever the case, he will get the answer once the war started.

He then turned to his right. There was also a big tent surrounded by many smaller tents. But the tent\'s color was red and yellow. On top of the tents, there are flags with a black dragon head in it. but on this site, there is no big weapon that Alex can spot from here.

But suddenly Alex was in serious thought. "I might need to go a bit farther, I was almost outside of the forest. It will be bad if either side discovered me. Though it will be a bit harder to see the battlefield, it will be safer. After all, there are many high ranking people in there."

Alex nodded, then he got a bit more inside in the forest. With this, the forest will camouflage him.

The fox was sat beside him without much interest on the battlefield. The fox eventually falls asleep. Alex can only shake his head because of this.

Since they had arrived in the evening. Night soon come, so there weren\'t any activities in the plain. Alex went to sleep and wait for tomorrow. Since he and his fox weren\'t bothered with the cold, they didn\'t make any campfire. So they didn\'t make any suspicion from the forest.

The next day, Alex woke up. He waited until noon but the war never started. He was bored, he then goes deeper into the forest to kill some monsters to release his boredom.

When the night comes, he came back to the previous tree. The fox didn\'t follow him when he hunts some monsters. When Alex came back, the fox immediately approached him. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，

"Wuu" With a gesture that she wanted to eat.

Alex flicked the fox head. "Glutton"

Alex shook his head, this fox was really lazy. Her activities were only sleeping and eating.

"Wuu" The fox felt wronged.

Alex sighed and giving him his fire to eat.

The next day was the same. He waited until noon but the war never started. When he about to leave to search some monsters like yesterday. He heard some voice inside the woods.

"YOU BASTARD!"

Alex immediately turned to the voice. "Should I go there?"

After pondering for a moment, Alex decided to go there.

The source of the voice wasn\'t that far. Alex arrived there in no time. Alex saw two humans seem to want to kill someone.

"You Bastard! Die!"

He saw the one who was attacked. He had brownish skin, his face was so-so, the remarkable was his temperament, he looked a gallant person. He was covered with many wounds and bleeding all over. But what shock Alex the most, was this person has two big horns on his head.

"Demon?" Alex muttered.

When the humans arrived in front of him, they swung their sword.

"HellFlame!" a big tyrannical purple flame appeared in front of the demon.

The swords never reach the demon, because the sword was melted including the one who launched the attack.

After that attack, Alex saw the two humans died and the demon was panting.

Alex frowned because he soon saw the demon collapsed to the ground.

"Should I go there?" Alex was in thought. If there are any more people there, he might be exposed if he goes there now.

He searched the surroundings first. After confirming there are no more human or demon in the perimeter. He then arrived in front of the fallen demon. He checked the demon. This demon seems still alive but was badly injured, he seems fighting for a few hours non-stop.

Looking at his capability, this demon was around rank 5, the same as him.

"..." Alex looked at the demon in thought.

"Should I save him? This guy was likely a spy"

Alex hesitated. Soon he heard the fox sound.

"Wuu"

Alex looked at the fox, she seems to ask Alex to save this demon. Alex hesitated once again. After a moment, he decided to save him.

"Well, we can gather some information from him too. His rank was the same as me, so he can\'t defeat me(?). Well, he injured now. So I\'m sure he can\'t defeat me in that condition"

He looked at Sherry, he muttered in low voice"Sometimes, a human was more dangerous than other creatures, can this fox look at the person\'s nature? Whatever I\'m a human too so we are equally dangerous"

He then carried the demon to some cave in a deeper zone. It will be bad if they were founded out.

Alex used his restoration pill on him. The bleeding was stopped and the wound started to close.

After Alex saw he was stabilized, he then ordered the fox to watched the demon. After that Alex went out from the cave and kill some more monsters.

...

The next day,

The demon slowly opened his eyes.

"Ugh... Where am I?"

He noticed that he was in some cave. But he doesn\'t know his exact location.

He checked his wound that was already closed up. He was shocked. Because he himself knows what kind of wounds he received. The wound he received yesterday was enough to make him laid on the bed for at least a month, he also already prepared to die in that place yesterday. But now, not only he can somehow move his body, but the wounds also already closed.

"Who was the one that healed me?" He was too shocked by his own recovery.

He then searched his surroundings. There he saw a fox who asleep now, slowly opened its eyes. He immediately put his guard up. Yup, the fox was sherry keeping watch to the demon.

"Are you the one who healed me?" The demon asked

"Wuu" The fox shook her head. "Wuu Wuu"

It seems telling that her master was the one who healed him.

The demon somehow understood the fox. "So your master was the one who healed me. I am thankful to him. Where is your master? I wanted to thank him"

He secretly thought, \'It might be good if I can make a relationship with this fox\'s master. After all, he/she can heal that kind of wounds in no time\'

"Though my mana still not recovered. But my physical wound was already fine. If I can bear the pain, I can move like usual."

The demon sighed, "This master was special. Does he/she come from the demi-human? The demon didn\'t have any conflict with the demi-human at the moment. If we can be friends that will be good"

Of course, never in his mind. The one who saved him was Alex, a human. The reason was simple, they are currently at war with each other. If he was spotted by a human. They will kill him immediately considering his wound, they won\'t torture him for information since he will die before they had any chance to do that, let alone helping him.

So He immediately thought that he was a demi-human that help to heal his wound.

"Wuu"

"Alright, I won\'t move too much. Thank you"

The demon leaned toward the wall. He sighed. He looked at the fox

"Haiz... You know, That damned father. He just gave me the throne, like he never cares about it. He gives me the position of a demon lord just because he didn\'t care about it. He said, "It was too much problem and he was too lazy to care about it. since you are my son, I will let you inherit it immediately" and then he has gone and passed me the throne just like that"

Turned out the demon that Alex had saved wasn\'t some ordinary/common demon or spies. He was the current demon lord.

If Alex here, he won\'t believe it. the demon lord was the king of the demons, they have the biggest authority in the demon territories. This weak and pitiful rank 5 demon was the current demon lord? Don\'t joke with me.

And the reason he became a demon lord was that his father was too lazy to care about it?. heck with that. Are his father was someone like \'I want a holiday for six months... Twice a year"? is he really a demon lord?

Is he really a demon lord? That will be the question.

The demon laughed bitterly.

"The demon was infuriated with my father. My father was a genius, but he somehow fed up with the fighting so he becomes like that. Sigh... If not for my grandfather and his loyal retainer backing me up. The demon would lose control."

The demon was talkative. Well, since he talking with a fox, the fox can\'t even speak so there won\'t be any information they will lose.

"Wuu" The fox consoled him.

Even though he didn\'t know what the fox says. He knows that the fox seems consoling him, he stroke the fox "Thank you"

But suddenly the fox looked at the cave entrance. "Wuu"

Yes, Soon enough a figure appeared from the outside and walking toward them.

The demon was shocked by the figure he saw, "Human?"

He immediately went hostile. He poured all the mana he had at this moment. He then launched his fist, hoping the human die with his surprise attack.

"Die!" The demon approached the figure.

"What?" The human was surprised that he suddenly got attacked.

His instinct takes over, he dodges the strike easily. And kicked the demon abdomen.

"Gah!"

The demon spurted blood and blown away. He crashed to the cave wall and knock out again.

"Oops, It was not intentional. My instinct takes over just now"

He then looked at the knocked out demon on the wall. He then healed him again.
