BXBX NOVEL Chapter 98 Perspective Sure Is Nice
He wasn\'t evil or sadistic at all.
Everything he did was for the sake of his people, and he didn\'t even relegate only the Demons to harsh labor.
The humans worked hard too, making it so that everyone had their fair share of activities cut out for them.
Everything he did had a reason, and he was able to transform the somewhat passable settlement she invaded into an amazing place.
Not just anyone could achieve that.
Lilith\'s grin grew wider as she thought more about her master. He was indeed the epitome of perfection!
\'Hero different. Hero nice... Hero good.\'
The vehicle she sat on, the one he called the Legendary Black Beast was hard and glossy, and she simply enjoyed the ride more.
Despite the fun she was currently having, Lilith realized the danger they were all heading toward.
WAR!
Demons were cruel, unforgiving creatures. She knew that much, as she belonged to the same race.
Their cruel nature earned them their rightful place as the most dominant race in the world. As such, Lilith was already aware of the harm that would befall her if she was to engage in battle with fellow members of her race.
Facing an army so huge was basically suicide. Even though they had quite a considerable number of force on their side, it was still very dangerous—almost impossible to expect victory.
\'But... I believe...\' The Demon Girl\'s mind trailed to the Hero.
Even though the odds were against him when she invaded, he single-handedly struck down everyone in his way.
He was the epitome of power and unpredictability, wasn\'t he?
That was why she chose to believe in him.
\'Me? Believe in someone...?\'
Lilith smiled to herself. So much had changed since she first arrived here. She had changed.
\'Slave Contract still here. Me can run if life in danger. But...\'
Her eyes were alit with passion, and her heart raced as she imagined the danger ahead.
She could always escape if anything endangered her life, but Lilith was already determined.
\'Me will fight... even if I die!\'
That was her resolve.
*************
Okay, so the ride was a bit awkward, considering the fact that I was running a bunch of simulations in my head.
Unlike before, we were heading toward war. Clearly, no one would be in a cheerful mood.
Initially, there was awe and stuff for the Legendary Black Beast, but as we got closer to the battlefield, I felt the heaviness within the car.
No laughter whatsoever.
In fact, most of the passengers were staring at me with full attention—either that, or they just looked at the passing landscape.
It made me realize just how grim the situation was. I really couldn\'t mess up now.
\'Alright... in thirty more minutes, we should reach the destination.\'
So far, I had taken a few things into account. Hopefully, they all worked as intended.
\'There\'s no way we can win a full-blown battle. Our numbers and resources aren\'t enough.\'
It was no secret that the Demons outstripped us in both the number of their soldiers, as well as their quality.
The best I could do was create a scenario—like with Lilith—where they would surrender.
If things went well, we could absorb them into our forces, thereby making our influence bigger.
\'Yeah... that would be nice.\' A smile formed on my face.
I simply hoped they could all misunderstand my power and submit—the same way my event with Lilith and her Demons played out.
\'Alright... shall we begin?\'

\'Ah, shit... this is worse than I thought.\'
My body shuddered as I watched the massive amount of Demons all standing on the battlefield.
Sure, I maintained my distance, but this was hardcore!
"Haa... this is too much." A soft laugh of fear escaped my lips.
Everyone else was in the car, and I was using my binoculars to see what was going on from my distance. Lying flat on my belly, I brought my eyes closer to the lens to confirm the despairing number of Demons that appeared through the binoculars.
\'Ah, shit...\'
I had thought I knew what war meant, thanks to movies and that little skirmish with Lilith, but this was intense—too intense!
\'Now I understand why they were so desperate. This is crazy!\'
I was currently on the last hill one could see before arriving at the Adventurer\'s City, and from what I could see, the Demons had surrounded the whole place.
Since they had way more numbers than the Adventurers, they could afford such tactics. Ultimately, their strategy would also make it extremely difficult for us to enter the city.
\'They must have increased their security after Asa and co left. This is bad...\'
If we couldn\'t get into the city, how were we to create a united front against the Demons? The question bugged me, but it was unwise to dwell too deeply on matters while neglecting the people I was leading.
\'It\'s noon right now. We have time to create a plan. I can\'t feel stuck. Hmm...\'
Looking at things from different perspectives was something I could do. I just had to apply myself in bothersome ways.
\'No matter the route I choose, though... it seems extremely dangerous.\'
Still, I had to try.
With those worries and thoughts in my mind, I returned to the car.

The Adventurers, Sarah, and Byron were waiting for me at the position where I packed, same as the hundred Golems that knelt in standby mode.
Lucy was within the Jason, and the other soldiers had their respective positions within their assigned Golems.
Since they weren\'t supposed to come out until the time was right, I imagined their impatient and anxious states.
I mean, they couldn\'t even see anything going on outside.
"I have made my decision." My voice contained authority, the complete opposite of what I was feeling at the moment.
Still, the act had to continue.
"After observing the Demon Army laid out before us... I know what must be done."

[A/N]
I tried replacing the chapters, but the Webnovel format rejected them because the new chapters I wanted to replace in the cloned ones were more than 100 words different.
Because of that, and Word Count, it wouldn\'t let me.
So, I\'ll just publish everything as new chapters and not replace the old ones.
Thanks for being patient.
