Chapter 802 Royalty in Retaliation

"Well, technically…I am ONE of the leaders of Pandapolis. \'True\' is not wrong since the demons do not know that the core can choose more than one… erm ruler." Moloch agreed and tried to run through various scenarios in his head. However, he did not know whether it was resurrection fatigue, but the Minotaur Lord\'s mind got cut off after a short while.

"Anyway, I can vouch that Rex here will make an outstanding lawmaker and a respectable \'Demon\' to rule this land," Kraft said, and the rest unanimously supported their Panda Remnant.

"If you cannot trust anyone, you can at least trust me." Pei stepped forward and grabbed the Minotaur Lord away from Kraft\'s embrace and placed it on Rex\'s head. "I can already hear some footsteps coming our way, so we should hurry the process a little."

"I can punch them away if you want." Itori offered, and Rex laughed.

"There is no need to. So, what are these options here, little Minotaur?" Rex asked.

"I guess you must be as old as Kraft so stop calling me little. Despite my current form, I am way older than any of you. I am in my golden age as a demon, though!" Moloch mumbled a little before releasing out a heavy sigh. "They are the same options given to Master and me when he first conquered the Dungeon Fortress."

"Then, I am assuming we are going to preserve the integrity of the city?" Rex questioned, and the cotton toy nodded his head.

"Just for your information, most conquerors do not like this option since it gives the least amount of reward. Mainly because the Dungeon Core will usually destroy the entire city and kicks everyone out, giving the conqueror the ultimate right to the place. Raiders also prefer the \'raze it to the ground option\' since it will give them the most resources."

"Then what rewards do we have if we preserve the Demon Metropolis?" Tsu asked.

"Not much really. Aside from some extra cash and resources, we get an entire city. Although it will be exactly in the condition as the previous ruler has left it. Well, triple the rewards since we won the defence game against them too." Moloch added, and suddenly he heard a weird whistling sound. Rex did not waste any time and selected the preserve option, and they were officially crowned the new rulers of Demon Metropolis by the dungeon core.

The whistling sound screeched with each second and Kiyu stood at the front and stopped a projectile. The rest of the foxes walked out and noticed a group of beautifully armoured demons waiting at the middle of the Circle of Treachery.

"Since you are the new rulers, we might as well challenge you now. I am Prince Agares of the -" Without any warning, Kraft cut them off by shooting near their foot, missing by merely a centimetre. The rest of the group immediately picked up arms, but Rex came forward and tried to calm them down.

"Can they really challenge the new rulers this quickly? Don\'t the Dungeon Cores have some cooldown period or something?" Pei asked, and Moloch nodded his head as he tried to slide down from Rex\'s head, but the Panda Remnant kept him up.

"Something like that… the defeated side still has the option to take back their Dungeon Core within 24 hours kind of thing. That is why most winners would usually take the plunder or conquer everything route." Moloch explained in the System Channel so as to not let the royalty suspect that they are amateurs to this.

"Doesn\'t that mean all we have to do is to kill anyone who comes at us within that period?" Ixa came forward as she was displeased at how Itori had grabbed the Boss of Greed away from her despite her younger sister\'s insistence that it was an accident.

"Look, I am sorry that my little brother has offended you all. Please allow me to explain the current situation." Rex continued to try calming the royal family down even though someone decided to throw a seemingly high-level fireball at Rex.

"Like hell, we will! We have battalions of troops waiting outside for you if you try to escape!" One of them shouted from the group.

Unfortunately, the fireball bounced off from Rex because of his barrier, and the rest got cautious immediately. "Look, if I want my guys to finish you off, it won\'t take more than a few seconds. A minute tops, so let\'s be rational for a moment. You saw that hole that just one of us made to jump in here. We killed each and every one of your guard supervisors as well as fending off the invasion you all initiated." Rex tried to be civil.

"Oh, shucks. I left that prince\'s Pailmon at Pandapolis." Kraft blurted out \'accidentally\' as he felt like bragging, but one of the group members started to be angsty.

"You are the one who beheaded my husband?!" A middle-aged demon lady shouted, but a few of the guards were restraining her since they knew how strong Paimon was.

For someone to behead Paimon without any resistance as indicated from his cleanly dismembered body showed that the monsters in front of them were leagues above their pay grade. "My husband\'s name it PAIMON not PAILMON!" The lady shouted despite being pushed back by the guards.

Even Prince Agares, the eldest of all the royalty, started to have a sense of fear welling up in him. He finally grasped their aura and realised the difference between him and them was too huge. It\'s akin to heaven and earth. Yet, he still had to maintain a strong front.

"Give us back our Dungeon Core, and we will give you a hefty reward in return. Considering that you have yet to destroy the city means you had intentions of using it." Agares reasoned, and Rex nodded his head.

"Yes, but I like hefty rewards in the long run too and I see potential in this Demon Metropolis. Which is why I have yet to destroy it. So, how about trusting me as your new lord and ruler?"

"NEVER!!" The group shouted unanimously, and Kraft shrugged his shoulders.

"I think your communication skills seem to have gotten a bit rusty. You\'ve spent too much in the System." Evon tried to defend Rex who gave him a resigned look.

"No problem that should all come back in due time. As for those before us. You haven\'t forgotten how to quell a rebellion, right? Besides, the demons only answer to true strength. How about we show them that since seeing is beliving." Kraft commented, and Rex reluctantly nodded his head as he asked the Grizzly Bears to clear the lines.

"With pleasure!" The siblings cried out with joy simultaneously rushing forth.
