The village held a secret meeting to understand what exactly happened.
"The armies came and our families cursed them because of the damage to our crops!"
"The armies just walked in and upon hearing shouts of cursing began to slaughter innocents!"
"We need to show the armies that even we are not to be taken lightly!"
The families who had their loved ones killed shouted to their ruler. He had seen the crops not damaged. He had heard the cursing of those who cursed. He had already decided to punish the families before the family member's death.
"My judgment on this matter is, we will wait." The ruler announced.
This sudden announcement caused even more hatred to the people. Loved ones could not be avenged with passiveness. Several of them decided to follow the bandits way.
"Sir, if they join we will not survive!" A man told the ruler.
"So be it." The ruler decided.
The man waited to see the results of this decision. It would be a decision that even he would not think of.
Poseidon had already sent a letter to Lilith's mansion asking for help. He had already done something he should not have but he would not allow anyone who cursed Rex to live.
Once the people of the village joined the bandits, the giant demon thought that maybe they could use the village itself to destroy the armies. A mistake that he would regret for a few seconds.
"Prepare for battle! Use all available Qi that we all have in order to destroy the armies and the village!" The giant demon announced.
As the bandits all started to slowly change the bottom of the village. Poseidon already noticed the change within minutes. He used his Water Qi to create a massive long net to protect the town.
The next morning came and Strom God and Rex both appeared in the town. Rex in his Demon King of Annihilation form. His steps echoing the sheer volume of destruction.
Once Rex appeared next to Poseidon, Poseidon bowed and begged for forgiveness due to killing the innocents and causing this mess.
"Explain it better." Rex spoke.
As the explanation began when they entered the village. People began cursing them and Rex for even trying to bother with the bandits.
Some of those people were directly involved with the bandits, while others were not. The fact is that the people who cursed were directly cursing Rex.
Rex did not care about people cursing him. He found it funny how well others took it. He decided to let the village know who was truly in charge.
"Armies belonging to Diablo and Lilith, MARCH FORWARD!" Rex roared.
He led the armies to their next spot. The ruler of the village stopped and greeted the Demon King and asked to spare his villagers who joined the bandits.
Rex gently reassured the ruler that everything would be fine.
"Thank you." The simple reply sent shivers down the villagers spines.
They never knew how he could willingly prostate himself while being a ruler himself. He might have been a village ruler but he is nothing before the mighty Demon King.
"Continue to MARCH FORWARD!" Rex commanded.
The armies did just that. Poseidon stayed behind in the back. He needed to be close to the village. He was protecting it.
Several bandits began to charge towards the army. Most of them the villagers upset with their family's death. Rex commanded his army only to subdue the villagers and not harm them.
Before the might of the army, the villagers could not stop this. Some did get slight injuries just from the forceful ground slam.
While others did receive broken arms due to the strength of the soldiers by accident.
The ones who fought desperately, they received the worst injuries from broken legs and ribs to two deaths.
Rex knew that the two did not need to die but their unwillingness to just accept defeat caused their deaths.
"That is too much." Rex thought.
The death toll could have been higher but he was already glad that only two deaths were here and felt it was not acceptable but hoped the ruler would understand.
If Poseidon had been there beside Rex, no deaths would have been recorded. This made Rex wonder why Poseidon was not there. He did not have the time to worry about it because the main force of the bandit was in front.
Both parties stared at each other, the villagers who did were already a part of the bandits began feeling immense fear from Rex. Their instincts telling them to bow.
As for the other bandits, their instincts to charge away with all of their might was at the forefront. Their bladders almost emptied themselves completely several times.
Before the order to charge was ever given, the bandits began taunting Rex. The armies not wanting Rex to listen was ready to charge themselves.
Rex did not care. These small taunts would have messed with him in the past. However, he has gathered enough mental stability and resistance to those taunts. What Rex did not expect was that the bolder demons would use figures of himself to make themselves feel good.
To that not a single member of the army dared to stopped the carnage that was coming. Those demons laughed and even showed how well the little figures did a good job in pleasing themselves.
The bandit leader was waiting for the perfect time to allow not only the village but the surrounding area to collapse.
The only thing that needed to happen was for Rex to take one step. That step would spill doom for the village.
As he smiled, something warned him to watch from the sky. Has he looked up, a boulder came crashing down. He activated the traps too early and Rex immediately crushed the leader under his foot.
As the other bandits witnessed the death of the leader, they began to charge into the armies who only needed to slaughter the bandits.
