Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Bartrem finished cooking the burger and Aldred had a great meal while chatting with everyone. They laughed and joked around and Mareona would hit him if he said anything dirty related.

She didn't hit as hard as she used to though.

They all had a great time. It was a good thing that they visited Maverick's home while waiting for the astrolabe to be activated. They used to hate the waiting part, but because of Bartrem's cooking, the soldiers' playing soccer, and Aldred spouting out dirty jokes the atmosphere became so much fun.

A few hours later, Maverick came back and said: "Great news, my father found the real culprit of this incident. But we also have a bad news."

"What is the bad news?" Aldred asked.

"The culprit is the neighboring noble."

…

Radonvilter county was a rich county neighboring right to the northeast of the Holy State of Montcresia. The peaceful relationship between the two of them and easy access to their cities allowed merchants to flock in and bring wealth all over the county.

With sufficient security and patrol running around the region, the merchants felt safe and comfortable when they entered the county. But despite its economic strength, Radonvilter was merely an ant hill compared to the gigantic Chanterre County.

Almost spanning the entire west region of Thignia, Chanterre was three times larger than Radonvilter.

With easy access to the sea, Montcresia, Ceraisian and the capital of Thignia, Chanterre county brought riches never before seen in the last hundred years. Such achievement naturally brought envy and resentment among the ambitious and arrogant nobles.

But with Lord Aleron as the trusted hand of the emperor, no one dared to mess with him. No one except the most daring and ambitious of them all—Armand Radonvilter.

Said to be the best house head of his time, Lord Armand brought signifcant wealth with his small territory.

With beautiful city planning and landscape designing, people of all background would praise the region for its beauty. And one could see this right after entering the region.

But that region was currently in danger as the sleeping beast had been awakened.

…

Standing atop his balcony, Lord Aleron was currently facing his army who stood in formation below. Numerous Diamond Rank led the attack, and they wouldn't hold back.

"Today, I found out our neighbor decided to mess with us. The neighbor that we have been at peace for generations. The neighbor that we thought of as friend is actually our enemy. I gather you today to show them the consequence of harming our region. We are here to protect Thignia without and within. For this is why the Emperor trusted me with his life, for I trusted my life in him. I am the royal servant of the emperor. I serve Thignia with my life, but the insignificant bugs that called himself Armand Radonvilter doesn't seem to have the same sentiment. I condone him as the traitor of our nation and shall be destroyed. I am the hand of the emperor. I have decided to send an all out war against the traitor!"

"HURRAA!"

The runes below their feet glowed, and the Diamond Rank magician that stood in the middle raised his staff before slamming the bottom onto the ground. The runes shone with brighter light that enveloped the army and then they vanished.

"Where did they go?" Aldred asked as he watched the scene unfold on the mirror.

Stella had activated her spell to show the army through a magical mirror. The view then changed into a prosperous city, and suddenly, the army that was in Monthiviers suddenly arrived within the center of the city.

Immediately after, they systematically charged and destroyed all military facilities, and killed all the soldiers there. They avoided killing the civilians, and even have a special unit specialized in saving, protecting, and even put these people into a safe place.

They worked so fast as if they knew the ins and out of the city. All the secret bases, secret weapons, and facilities were destroyed so quickly that the enemy couldn't even react.

The destruction was like a chain. One facility after another was destroyed and they hadn't even destroyed a single house. All the civilians were safe and sound too.

"It's like they already planned this operation for months! How is that possible? Lord Aleron only learned about it today," Aldred exclaimed.

Because the army was already inside, all the defence mechanisms that were prepared on the wall were rendered useless. That was a high-alert security breach because Lord Armand planned to devastate the enemy by half before they could enter the wall.

But Lord Aleron's army breached and destroyed all their defenses with ease.

After a few hours, the Diamond Ranks started appearing, and their battle was shocking. Both sides put a protective shield around an area to prevent the shockwave from destroying the infrastructures.

They clashed against each other. Powerful bright and dark energy blasted in all directions. The magicians threw numerous types of spells at the enemy. Lightning, rocks, sand storms, fire tornadoes, and even pseudo- time and space spell where they affected the time and space dimension to some extent.

It was such a chaotic battle. The warriors burst out with powerful blinding auras out of their body one by one as they transformed into their battle mode. They became faster, stronger, and their body structure was that of a giant.

The wind was constantly being slashed, but their body regeneration was too quick for that to affect them even slightly.

Some warriors even transformed into the likeness of a demon with horns covered with black and red armor. The sword in their hand glowed in amethyst-color mist. When they slashed out, an arc of powerful energy shot out, shaking the sky, and vibrating the transparent magic shield.

"Damn, all of them are so powerful. Look at their spell. That's not ordinary fireball. That fireball will enter from your pores and explode you from within," Aldred commented. He analyzed their spell with his godly eyes, but his brain couldn't comprehend them yet.

Compared to his parents, they were ants in comparison, but his parents were literal gods in some sense.

These guys were mortal. The mortals that pushed through their limit and achieved greatness. Aldred on the other hand got a diamond spoon right inside his anus.

But he wasn't complaining. In fact he was grateful to be born with this talent.
