How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

Andromeda was right. Among all the maids in the castle, Andromeda was the only one that has not been with the demon lord more than five times before. The demon lord has called on all of us many times but he hasn't interacted with Andromeda that many times. Pyra wondered what could be the cause of this problem. Was it because Andromeda was a lamia? No. The demon lord never cared about things like that. Then what is it?

Pyra thought about it for a while and Andromeda just stayed silent and allowed Pyra to think.

Pyra gained a cute pout on her face as she thought deeply. After some time, Pyra finally concluded and she nodded as she gave Andromeda a serious look.

"How good are you at sex?"

Andromeda blushed crimson and she looked away in exasperation! She thought that Pyra was going to ask a good question or give her some great advice, but what kind of question is that!? Pyra knows that all the maids in the castle are good at sex since they all trained with Rosavellt to please the demon lord! When Andromeda said this to Pyra, Pyra's eyes widened as if she just remembered that they did that and she scratched her head sheepishly before she spoke again. They had their training a very long time ago and Pyra just forgot about it. How can Andromeda even remember it at all!? That was almost five hundred years ago!

"I suppose you're right, but it isn't enough. Our demon lord is a confident man and a confident man will also love a confident woman. I don't want to insult you, but your way of speaking and walking doesn't inspire confidence,"

Andromeda felt a bullet pierce into her with Pyra's words! What Pyra just said caused some critical damage because Andromeda could tell that Pyra was right! Was that really the reason why? The demon lord doesn't see me as a confident person!? Andromeda started to worry about what she should do. Pyra noticed the distress on Andromeda's face and Pura decided that it would be best to talk about this later. Andromeda needs to be at her best for this mission and it wouldn't be good if Andromeda was worried about her confidence while fighting.

"You can just get rid of your stuttering and I'm sure you'll see some improvement. Prove that you're willing to grow and change and that might be enough to impress the demon lord,"

Pyra finally said this and Andromeda looked at her in mild surprise. So Pyra was trying to tell me that I should stop stuttering! Andromeda sighed! When did I even start stuttering? Was it when my family was killed? Andromeda tried to remember when she started to stutter and she couldn't pinpoint the exact date at all. She only knows that she has been stuttering for as long as she could remember! She made a decision right there that she would try her best to stop stuttering! It doesn't matter how much work it took, she will stop it!

Pyra saw the fire burning in Andromeda and she pat Andromeda on the back. That's good. At least Andromeda wouldn't be worrying about pointless things while they are in the middle of their mission.

"But in the meantime, since you cannot stop your stuttering immediately. How good are your techniques in bed?"

Andromeda blushed again as she glared at Pyra and Pyra just smiled a little to show that she was kidding before turning back to the road. The two of them were already close to Gully and so Pyra told Andromeda that they would continue their conversation later. Andromeda said she would rather not continue at all since she knew Pyra would keep asking about her techniques in bed but Pyra was no longer listening so Andromeda could only sigh in annoyance.

The town of Gully was a medium-sized town that housed more than five hundred demons in it. The main occupants of the town were Ghouls, but there were other races like goblins and succubi there as well. Once Andromeda and Pyra entered the town, they realized that there was something wrong. They expected to see the town in chaos and they expected a lot of the houses to be broken or burning. But all they saw were a few broken houses and some dead demons that were being carried away. Pyra narrowed her eyes when she saw that there were even some humans among the dead people. Pyra immediately knew that this wasn't an attack from the hero. The demons here were able to defend against their attackers and Pyra knew that if the hero were part of the attackers then the demons would never be able to defend against her. What happened here?

The two of them started to make their way into the town and all the demons in the town bowed deeply once they saw the two maids! These were the direct servants of the demon lord and whenever they see them, it is almost the same as seeing the demon lord himself! All the demons had the highest respect for the members of the demon lord's household.

Pyra ignored all of them but Andromeda waved a little to some of the little kids that were also bowing.

Pyra was heading straight for the home of the town leader. In every town, there is always a demon that leads them! Pyra knew that the leader would be alive because the leader is usually the strongest person in the town. The demon that leads any town must be strong enough to fight its way to the top of the town and stay there! If a leader is weak then that leader could be killed off by someone stronger and the stronger person will take up the seat of the leader! That was the law in the demon world and the demon lord will not punish anyone that takes the leadership position through bloodshed. This method ensures that only the strongest person can be the leader of the town.

The leader of the town was a mature ghoul with extremely pale skin and white hair that was cut into a bob cut. She was standing outside her house and waiting for Pyra and Andromeda to come! Once she heard that the two of them were in the town, she immediately ran out of her house to wait for them. She has no right to stay inside her house when the demon lord's servants were here to speak to her. It would be disrespectful!

She saw the two of them coming down the town road and once they got to her she bowed deeply to them both. Pyra ignored her but Andromeda gave the woman a small nod.

Pyra just spoke while looking around with critical eyes. She asked the leader to explain exactly what happened and the leader nodded as she stood straight. The leader would have offered the two of them something but they don't look like they are in the mood for eating or drinking.

The leader explained that the attack on the town was different from what they expected. The people of the town were attacked unexpectedly and they thought that there would be a large wave of human soldiers along with the hero, but that was the case! The hero wasn't a part of the attacking force and the wave of soldiers that came around was less than a hundred soldiers! The people of the town were able to fight off the soldiers easily but the leader has no idea what this could mean. Why did the humans attack them with inky a hundred soldiers? That amount wasn't even enough to take over a demon village talk less of a town!

Pyra narrowed her eyes minutely and turned to the side to look at the horizon. She started to think and she wondered what the hero would be planning by doing this. Pyra couldn't underestimate the hero because even though the hero was just a foolish human, she was still the sister of the demon lord. The hero would be a smart woman and there will definitely be a reason for her to do this.

"Are there any other towns around here?"

Andromeda was the one that asked this question and once she asked it, Pyra looked at her in surprise! Of course! The other towns! It is possible that the attack on this town was just a distraction! Pyra turned to the leader and the leader nodded to tell them that there were other towns. There were three towns close to the town of Gully. One of them was a farming town that was filled with low-class demons as well as human slaves. Another one was a mining town that excavated Mana Stones from under the ground and the third one was a succubus town that was filled with brothels!

Once the two of them heard the options they both immediately knew which town the humans attacked! It would be much more sensible to attack the mining town! Any demon that knew the value of the mana stones would rather attack the mining town and ruin the business that the demons had there! But these weren't demons! These were humans! Foolish humans that allowed themselves to be blinded by sympathy and kindness. If it is a human, then the only place they will go to is the farming town. Those fools would rather give up on the mining town and save the slaves!

That means that the hero wasn't attacking this town to eradicate the demons! She was using this as a distraction! She was trying to make sure these demons couldn't stop them from saving the humans and she was just trying to ensure their mission was successful!

Pyra and Andromeda both came to this same conclusion at the same time and they immediately started making their way out of the town again. The town head bowed as she saw them leaving and she wished them luck with their hunt!

Pyra didn't have a link to the town they were going to so she couldn't open a portal directly to that town. But Andromeda had a link to the town because she was the one in charge of running all the farming operations in the kingdom. Every farming town in the kingdom had a direct link to Andromeda and it was easy for her to open a portal to any of them. This makes it easier for Andromeda to oversee all their operations without much stress.

So Andromeda opened a direct portal to the farming town and they walked through.

.....

Quinn sighed for the third time as she rode her horse through the forest. Beside her, Dray rolled his eyes as he heard her sigh. Dray could tell that Quinn was not happy even though this mission was going very well for the humans. Quinn recently made a plan that impressed Dray. She offered to attack a demon town that was sitting directly on a Mana stone mine so that they can take the mine for themselves and destroy the demon's business. It wouldn't be easy because there were three other demon towns around that mining town and the mining town would be able to call for reinforcements from those towns. But Quinn proposed to send small platoons of soldiers to the surrounding towns to distract them and prevent them from coming to help the mining town.

It was a plan that left some of the generals in shock because Quinn was planning on sacrificing soldiers like they were cattle. Everyone knew that all the soldiers that would serve as the distraction will not be coming back alive and Quinn was still trying to send them there! It was a good plan and Dray also supported it because he didn't see anything wrong with killing a few people to secure the mining town.

But just before they could finalize the plan, there was a suggestion from one of the old generals. He told them to change their target from the mining town to the farming town east of it. This farming town had a lot of slaves in it and these slaves were humans that were captured during the demon invasion. It would be great if they can save these slaves and bring them back to the kingdom and show people that they were doing a good job! It would boost morale and make the citizens trust them more!

Both Dray and Quinn sighed!

What a stupid plan!
