How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!-Chapter 140 How To Carry Out An Infiltration.

Travy arrived at the demon palace and he was led into the demon lord's office. He bowed respectfully while staring intensely at the floor. Floid asked Travy if his message about Uta was genuine and Travy confirmed that he was telling the truth. Priscilla was really asking for some resources for her kingdom and she would open the border soon.

Floid gave Travy permission to give Priscila what she wanted and Travy was shocked. He thought that the demon lord would try to starve the kingdom of Uta as he did for Aquinas. Why was he giving them the food!? Floid didn't give any other order to Travy except that Travy will have one passenger on the ship when he is going to Uta. Travy wanted to ask who the passenger would be, but he didn't even dare. His orders have already been given so he would obey. Travy bowed and turned to leave the office.

And so, that was how Travy found himself on the ship heading towards Uta. Travy had four other shops behind his ship and he would be arriving at the coast of Uta in a few minutes. He looked to the side and he looked at the beautiful woman standing there curiously. Travy knew exactly who that woman was. There wasn't any demon that didn't know the daughter of the former demon lord. Ophis had a strange image in the demon world. Most of the demons in the demon world hated her for what she did after her father died. They only saw her as a power-hungry woman that tried to steal the throne from the real demon lord, but a few demons were grateful that she tried to help them and defeat the humans. Travy didn't care either way and he didn't even have an opinion about her because he wasn't part of her army when she was pretending to be the demon lord.

But why did the demon lord send her with him?

Ophis has been standing silently and she hasn't said a single word to Travy since she boarded the ship. She has just been staring out into the horizon with a glare that could rival any monster. Right now, Ophis was annoyed! She still remembers the way Floid summoned her and ordered her to infiltrate Uta using this convoy of ships. It turns out that Floid still didn't have any plans of invading Uta for the time being. Floid was more focused on Trad and he wasn't ready to make his army march on Uta. But Floid was someone that planned very far ahead. Floid was sending Ophis into Uta as a joker card that he could use later.

Since Priscilla opened the border now, it was unlikely that she would open the border again when Floid is ready to attack Uta. But if Floid has someone on the inside of Uta already then it would be easy for him to make his way through the borders with her help. That was Ophis' job. Floid already cast illusion magic on Ophis which was very similar to the one that Travy had on himself. Everyone that looked at Ophis would see a normal girl with fair skin and purple hair. Her horns were no longer visible and they would think that she was just a normal human. Ophis will leave the convoy of ships once she lands in Uta and sneak into the city. She will mingle with the humans for as long as she needs to and she will wait for Floid orders.

This was why Ophis was so angry. Ophis didn't want to mingle with humans anymore. Ophis knew that Floid chose her because she is one of the only demons that has lived among humans for hundreds of years. Ophis knew what to do and what not to do in human society and it will be easy for her to gain a strong foothold in any place she finds herself. But Ophis just hated humans and she would not have done this if Floid didn't order her to do it. The only reason why Floid sent her was because she was disposable to him and if she was found out then he will not lose anything even if she dies. Ophis has no magic since her magic core was broken and Floid has still not helped her repair it. She cannot even fight back if she is discovered. But Floid didn't care and he sent me anyway. I hate that bastard!

But even though Ophis was angry about how Floid was treating her like disposable trash, she was still interested in carrying out the mission. If the mission works, then it will lead to the death of millions of humans. This is the sort of thing Ophis has always wanted to be a part of! She always hated humans and she wants all of them to be killed and eradicated! If I have to pretend to be one of them to carry out my role, then I will do it to perfection. It doesn't matter what the demon lord sees me as, I will play my part to destroy the humans.

"We are two leagues away from the coast. We will make port soon. Are you ready?"

Travy said this to Ophis calmly and Ophis nodded to him to tell him she was ready. She saw the coast coming closer from the horizon and she calmed herself down. She lost her frown as she gained a stoic look. The soldiers there were all men, and from experience, Ophis learned that human men liked women that were mellow and silent a lot. Ophis would use this against them and she will make sure she gets into Uta without being asked too many questions. Ophis has to do her best here. The demon lord would kill her if she doesn't do it so she doesn't really have a choice.

As the ship got closer to the coast, there was a long line of men standing guard on the pier and they were led by a single man wearing bulky armor. This man was a grand Commander for Uta and he was put in charge of receiving the goods. The ship was docked and Travy lowered the ramp for them to come down.

Travy first made his way out to the ramp to meet with the grand Commander. Travy spoke with the grand Commander for a second and Ophis just stayed on the ship silently. It wasn't until Travy gave her the signal that she could come down that Ophis made her way down the ramp. The effect was instantaneous.

The one thing that demon women would always have that human women can never have is their sexual superiority. All demon women were extraordinarily sexy. Each of them had an allure and appeal that would make any man go crazy once they laid eyes on them. Once Ophis started to come down the ramp, all the soldiers looked at her in awe. She was extremely beautiful and there wasn't a single straight man that could deny that! The Grand Commander was also staring in surprise.

Travy told the grand Commander that he had a passenger that wanted entry into the kingdom and the grand Commander was already planning on telling the passenger to go back since the written didn't want anyone to enter. But isn't this woman too beautiful!? How in the world am I going to tell her to go back after she came all this way!? I am sure the Queen will not mind at all if only one person enters the kingdom!

The Grand Commander was already thinking of how he would woo Ophis. He was already married but he didn't care. As a Grand Commander, he had every right to take more than two wives. If he can woo Ophis and make her his own then no one will dare to say anything!

The Grand Commander couldn't feel any power coming from Ophis and this helped her to play her character. Since her magic core was destroyed she isn't able to gather any magic inside her and she seems like a regular human.

Ophis was carrying a bag and one of the soldiers standing on the line wanted to come forward to help her but the Grand Commander gave that soldier a glance that made him freeze in place! The soldier ran back to the line and the Grand Commander went forward to meet Ophis.

"If I heard that such a beautiful woman was making her way to the kingdom then I would have made better preparations. Welcome to Uta, lady Ophis,"

The Grand Commander said all this with a bow and Ophis had to stop the first reaction that she wanted to give. Ophis killed the grimace of disgust that was rising inside her and she gave the man a small smile of gratitude. Travy already lied to the Grand Commander that Ophis was a member of a lord's house in Trad and so the Grand commander decided to use the term 'lady' to address her so he could appeal to her. When the Grand Commander saw the smile, his heart skipped a beat and he had to clear his throat to get himself back in the zone. She was far too beautiful!

"My name is August. I am one of the six Grand Commanders of the Kingdom. If you have any problems then please come to me and I shall help you. No one in the kingdom can ignore my words,"

He was really trying to boast, wasn't he?

Ophis couldn't help but think this as she heard all the things that the Grand Commander was saying. She already knew who the Grand Commanders were from her time as the demon Queen and she knew that they were strong. But this man is trying too hard. Why would the demon lord make me suffer through something like this? I just want my magic back but this is too much!

Ophis forced a smile on her face. She was using both hands to hold her briefcase in front of her in a ladylike manner and she gave him a small curtsey.

"It's always a pleasure to meet a man of your caliber. I have heard a lot about your great exploits, Grand Commander August. I hope my stay is eventful with you looking out for me,"

A perfect tone and brilliant word usage. Ophis used enough familiarity to make the Grand Commander happy but she also used his title to make sure that the Grand Commander knew his place as a soldier. It was something that Ophis learned from her father and the way he would handle annoying guests that were trying to become too familiar with him. Make them remember their place and they will be careful around you.

The Grand Commander gained a small blush at the praise and he immediately comported himself properly to act as a proper knight should. He nodded his thanks and then commanded one of the soldiers at the side to come and aid Ophis with her bag. Once Ophis walked away from the pier, the grand Commander turned back to Travy. Travy gave the commander a cheeky smile.

"It seems you truly like what you see. I haven't seen any man that doesn't admire such beauty,"

The Grand Commander gave Travy a blank stare before looking away. He didn't have a close relationship with Travy and he didn't like the familiar way that Travy was speaking to him. But Travy was right, any man that doesn't appreciate such beauty would be a fool. The Grand Commander asked a simple question.

"This lady, is she betrothed to another?"

Travy blinked in shock and looked up at the Grand Commander! Did this man want to die? Travy didn't know much about Ophis, but he knew that the demon lord was the one that sent her here. If the Grand Commander tries to touch something that belongs to the demon lord then death would be the least of his concerns.

"I do not know since she isn't obligated to tell me such information. But the lord that oversees her is a ruthless man. Watch yourself when you are around her. One mistake can lead to a war between our two kingdoms,"

The Grand Commander scoffed. He thought Travy was talking about the kingdom of Trad and he found it hilarious! What can a kingdom of traders do in a war!? Sell you to death!?

The Grand Commander just ordered the soldiers standing around to make their way towards the ships and start bringing the food and food and resources. They need to finish this as quickly as possible. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

The entire operation was going smoothly and Ophis walked out of the pier alongside one of the soldiers. He guided her to the wagons near the pier and she was about to board one of the wagons when she saw someone from the side of her eyes. The person moved quickly and Ophis didn't get a good look at his face, but what she saw made her stop curiously. She recognized that face. Isn't that the boy that gave me bread in Aquinas? No... Maybe he is not the one. Aquinas was destroyed, so how would that boy have survived? Ophis shook her head and she just boarded the wagon and thanked the soldier before she drove off. She had more than enough money on her to rent a decent place and she just has to wait for the demon lord's signal for her real mission to begin.

Back at the pier, Dray grunted as he dropped a large crate of food on the ground and he wiped the sweat from his brow. It seems that Elias was right. Today was the perfect day to infiltrate the kingdom.freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
