《That Time I got reincarnated as… The Demon Lord’s butler?!》Ch 40. The Two Armies
Advertisement
The Demon Lord’s army kept on riding their horse towards the battle, and of course, I’m riding with them.
The Demon Lord is riding a nightmare by my side. Behind us, Kirwha and Fynx were talking about something with serious faces. I can hardly listen to them, not due to their low voices, but because of the noise that the hundred horses that are riding with us made.
But don't get me wrong, even if we have hundred horses running with us, that can hardly be called an army, right? But this is indeed an army, and not just because of the high power of every member. We have the numbers too, it's only that instead of horses, some of them are riding big wolves and others are flying, just like by my side.
But even if we counted them all, our army would easily be crushed if we just faced the army of 50.000 soldiers of the Kingdom that is marching to us.
But that would happen if wars were simply games of numbers. Luckily, there are other facts that can change the tides of war. That's where the Demon Lord’s plan comes into play.
“Are we going to fool them?!”
“That 's it! Smart, right? Whakaka~”
The Demon Lord laughed at the idea of her plan being put into action, she seems really confident about it. Of course, I'm not quite sure about her plan, even less if I’m the one playing the big role, so I couldn't help but question her choice.
“B-But why me?”
“Well, you are obviously one of our weakest warriors, so if we show you as powerful... Then they would wonder how powerful are the ones that do look as the powerful ones! They would be really scared. Whakaka~”
“This doesn't convince me…”

“Well, as I said before, I'm not trying to convince you. I'm just telling you how we are going to do this.”
She said while staring into my eyes with a deep glance. A smug smirk was drawn in her face, there was indeed no way of changing her mind.
I don't think the Demon Lord would go with a half baked so she is clearly not telling me everything about it. And if she isnt telling me everything, then there's a high chance of me being the one who messes up her plan.
“Dont worry about it, I'll explain the big picture so you don't get lost. But as I said, you'll be the one fooling them, so you should practice your acting skills for this week.”
“Y-Yes, my Lady!”
I answered her with doubt in my heart, but it is not like I have a choice, I can only kept on going along with her plan. And if in the end we can limit this war into a battle of a few…
But this isn't a perfect plan. I’ll be mixed up into the fight.
As if reading my mind, the Demon Lord added to her previous order the next words.
“Obviously, you should keep on training your dodge skills with Fynx during this week. As I said, our warriors would be protecting you, but since it'll be a hard fight, the one that would be in charge of your safety would be yourself…”
“That doesn't sound that good as before…”
“Well, if you can't trust yourself, you'll obviously have to train more. You can't always depend on others. Whakaka~”
Well, she is right. But as far as I know, I'm just a human being drawn into a fight of Demons and Heroes… I'll need a lot of help to survive this war.

As I was remembering that talk, we arrived at our destination.
The Demon Lord started giving orders to the ones around, and in a few minutes, the army was in formation, ready for a fight.
Since the Demon Lord is a busy demon*, she doesn't like to waste her time, and just as most of the ones here were expecting, as soon as we were ready and prepared to fight, we started to hear the marching steps of the army coming at us from behind the hill that was in front of us.
A big smile was drawn into the Demon Lord’s face and her eyes were gallantly glowing with a bright red. The Slime Sisters that were close (for medical purposes) were trembling, they looked really nervous. Kirwha looked really calm, just as she always tried to look. Fynx on the other hand looked really anxious, she clearly wants to fight as soon as possible.
Kaashi and Fluph were the last two of the warriors from the Demon Lord’s side. Kaashi was a dryad, and just as you could expect, she looked really bored, so she was talking with a bird that was on her hand. Her light green hair and clothes and emerald eyes were hard to imagine covered into the dust and blood that battles always carried with them. But she had some kind of aura with her, that made obvious that she was acquainted with this kind of situation.
Fluph was a faun. Her lower half resembled the one of a sheep's legs and a little tail included, along with two horns on her head that were coming out of her long chestnut hair that reached her elbows. She was carrying a bow and a carcaj with only four arrows, between them, one was of a bright red color that resembled a mixture of fire and blood. Clothes? As her lower half was the one of a sheep, she was only wearing a breastplate made of leather and a lot of bracelets on her right arm.
Finally, the army of the Kingdom was visible from the top of the hill. It was a shocking sight...

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter

The Many Blades of Wuxia
Hundreds of years after the Heretic wars ended, life has returned to its blissful ignorant state that only peace could bring. Whilst the never-ending war between Man, Beast and Mutant rages on, most are not even aware of a war that happened between men. Its prophecies shattered, their remnants surviving only in obscure bard tales. One is about to grow. On the cracked face of the world, Essence storms and Beast Waves keep the citizenry locked atop the Emperor city of Qaelang. Knowledge of the past is as rare as the metals that flow into the hands of Sacred Artists and at the root of it all are whispers of a malignant force, ancient and terrible. Holding humanity back from achieving greatness, but hiding too are secrets best left untouched. Balance, discipline and order have held Qaelang secure since time immemorial, the powers within claiming to adhere to them. None are more fearful of change than the ones with the most to lose, but change is coming. Blade of Wuxia is a long character-focused epic fantasy with progression and growth. It's about a boy's quest to become powerful enough to save those he cares most for and give them a better life. It's set in a world of hidden pasts and uncovering them will set him on a path that shakes the Empire. As this is a rewrite that took on a wildly different spin, reviews are most welcome and help me do better. What can the reader expect? A Wuxia society set in a High fantasy world. People are only doing what they know and may have mistaken beliefs. A clever resourceful protagonist with human flaws A far-reaching hidden fantasy world, rich in history. Multiple points of view are used to follow the story to its natural conclusions, not every NPC has all the answers, but there is one MC in this book. Progression will take time and sometimes even unknowingly. MC is not trained in the ways and knowledge must be tempered against experimentation. Release Schedule. 2 chapters a week, family and work permitting. Only if I'm happy with the chapter will I release it. That being said I am open to revision should an articulated critical response show merit. This story is not completed yet but I do have a general idea of what the end looks like for both MC's (yes both) Ultimately feedback will be most influential on the progression of release as it's you guys I'm looking to entertain. Expected Changes None really, I'm writing as I go and have a path planned for 6 books Chapter release rate might change if we take off and feedback starts flowing, but for now, it is just about making sure Arcs flow smoothly onto the next. Cover, yes absolutely! If there is enough interest I will open a Patreon account and use the first proceeds to commission an EPIC cover and hopefully a few scary artworks of our brave Cultivators and the foes they face.
