6/9
"Breaking news! Breaking news! The fourth apostle, the Decay Demon apostle, has been defeated by the Hero! Kris City, Dandelion Peak, and Tina Plains have all been recaptured by the Alliance Army and returned to human territory!"
The running newsboy loudly announced the good news on the street.
People on both sides scrambled to buy newspapers, most of their faces beaming with joy and pride.
"Lord Hero is so amazing. This is already the fifth apostle to be exterminated, right?"
"Yes, if this momentum continues, we humans will soon be victorious!"
"But I see in the report that Lord Hero only captured these apostles. Why? Wouldn't it be better to kill them directly?"
"Oh, have you forgotten? Hero-sama said that the demon race currently invading and descending upon our world has been deceived by their false king. As long as that false Demon King is killed, the human-demon war can end."
