Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

After finishing his notes, the green-robed villager closed the notebook with a heavy heart.

Then, he turned to the villager soldiers inside the hall and asked, "What were the attack methods of that werewolf and dragon? Did any of you see clearly?"

Inside the hall, two villager soldiers in diamond armor exchanged glances before recalling and saying, "The werewolf seemed to wield the power of lava…"

"The dragon's scales were abnormally tough—enchanted arrows couldn't even break its defense. It mostly attacked by breathing dragon fire…"

Two villagers wearing diamond armor, after saying this, still looked somewhat fearful.

That battle, the ones sent out were all elites of the villager army. Their actual combat experience was very rich; previously, when fighting against players, they had never lost.

But this time, after encountering that werewolf and that dragon, they were basically completely wiped out.

Only the two of them managed to survive.

The strength of that werewolf and that dragon was completely on a different level from those players.

Facing them, even the battle-experienced villager soldiers had only the fate of being completely crushed one-sidedly.

It was also the first time the villager soldiers had encountered such beings. To the villagers, they were absolutely a huge threat.

"King, their strength is far above ours. This time we suffered heavy losses... If we encounter them again next time, I'm afraid..."

After hearing the two men's words, the Villager King also had a worried expression.

"Our development is still too slow!"

Ever since the Villager King discovered that he could exchange dirt for diamonds, he began to build his own army.

After discovering that villagers could reproduce quickly, the Villager King also reproduced many offspring himself.

Some of these offspring inherited the Villager King's intelligence, while others inherited his ability to exchange high-level items.

Then, through generations of reproduction, more villagers with consciousness or exchange abilities emerged.

The villagers with more practical exchange abilities were all protected by the Villager King.

Those without exchange abilities but with consciousness, the King trained them for combat.

Those with impractical exchange abilities, the King assigned them as scouts.

They were stationed near the players' bases, studying the players' behaviors and combat styles.

Although the early days were quite difficult, fortunately, the King's ability to exchange dirt for diamonds was incredibly powerful.

With enough equipment to support them, they finally managed to get through the tough early days.

The Villager King also gradually began to establish his own kingdom and various systems.

After finally making it this far, the villagers' strength was already enough to fight against the players.

But they hadn't enjoyed their good days for long before they encountered new enemies.

A powerful werewolf and a dragon.

Moreover, the villager soldiers also learned from the players that these two were underlings of someone called HIM.

Which meant that HIM's strength was even greater than theirs.

The werewolf and the dragon were already at a level that the villager soldiers couldn't match.

Let alone HIM, who was behind them.

Thinking of this, the Villager King couldn't help but feel a headache. He had already worked so hard, but he hadn't expected that there would always be someone stronger out there.

The Villager King looked at the two villager soldiers and said, "You may leave now."

After the two left, the Villager King was about to think carefully about the next plan. But then he noticed that an Enderman had somehow appeared behind him.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing this Enderman, the Villager King wasn't too surprised.

He had known this Enderman for quite some time. Even before he started building his army, he had already met this Enderman.

The main reason was that this Enderman was different from other Endermen—he could communicate with him.

Back when the Villager King hadn't yet begun reproducing offspring, his companions couldn't communicate with him.

Whatever was on his mind, he basically shared it with this Enderman.

The Enderman saw the Villager King's troubled expression and asked, "Did you… en… encounter something?"

Although this Enderman could communicate, his speech was still not very fluent.

But that was already an improvement. When the Villager King first met him, he couldn't even pronounce words correctly.

Now he was just a little stuttery, which was already a big step forward.

Hearing the Enderman's question, the Villager King told him about the current situation.

"This is how things are. Our current combat strength and HIM, as well as those under him, are completely on different levels."

"If we encounter them again, I'm afraid the entire Villager Kingdom will cease to exist..."

The Enderman, after hearing the Villager King's words, thought for a moment. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said, "I… I know… a way to make you stronger!"

Hearing the Enderman's words, the Villager King asked in surprise, "What way?"

The Enderman recalled as he spoke, "I… I heard… my companions say… that in the Void… there… there are very powerful beings. Their abilities are unmatched."

"I heard that their power is above… that… that HIM you mentioned!"

"Their… their enemy… seems to be HIM as well!"

"If… if they can… help you, then… then you won't have to fear him anymore!"

"..."

Hearing the Enderman's words, the Villager King couldn't help but be shocked.

"Really?"

The Enderman firmly nodded. "Tru… truly!"

Hearing the Enderman's answer, the Villager King was somewhat happy, but he was still a bit worried.

"Although I do have a common enemy with those beings in the Void. But how can we be sure that they will help me?"

"The strength of us villagers is not strong; we can't even handle HIM's underlings…"

"Why would the Void help me for no reason?..."

The Villager King's thinking was still very clear.

Although he believed the Enderman wouldn't lie to him, he still didn't know the identity of those in the Void.

Even if they shared a common enemy in HIM, the Villager King had no way to guarantee that the Void wouldn't see the villagers as enemies too.

Besides, the Villager Kingdom was still very weak. In situations like this, cooperation was usually based on mutual benefit. The Villager King couldn't figure out what he could offer the Void in return.

Although the Enderman had provided a plan, the chances of it working seemed slim.

After hearing the Villager King's words, the Enderman shook his head and said, "Aren't you able to exchange dirt for diamonds?"

"The beings in the Void… seem to need diamonds."

"My companions… they are often ordered to come to the Overworld to collect diamonds and throw them into the Void."

"They should be willing to cooperate with you!"

"They need diamonds?" Hearing the Enderman's words, the Villager King was surprised.

According to the Enderman, those beings in the Void must be extremely powerful. The Villager King hadn't expected that they would need something like diamonds.

The Enderman nodded firmly. "Yes, they need them."

Hearing the Enderman's definite answer, the Villager King was somewhat delighted.

He thought for a moment. 'Given the current situation, encountering that werewolf and that dragon was an accident. But they had indeed wiped out our army.'

'Although there didn't seem to be any direct conflict of interest for now, the stronger side wouldn't care about such things. They would just kill without hesitation upon encounter.'

'So in the end, it all came down to strength.'

No matter what, HIM's subordinates had nearly wiped out the villager army. So, the two sides were already enemies.

The Villager King naturally wouldn't sit back and wait to be destroyed.

In this world, the strong always prey on the weak.

Only with enough strength could one avoid being bullied.

Thinking of this, the Villager King finally made up his mind and asked the Enderman, "How can I make contact with the Void?"

Seeing that the Villager King had made his decision, the Enderman nodded and said, "I… I can… have my companions… take you there."

The Enderman beside the Villager King was born in the Overworld. He had never been to the End, nor did he want to go.

He had interacted with some companions who had come from the End to the Overworld.

From their descriptions, the End was not a pleasant place. Compared to the End, he preferred the Overworld.

The scenery here was much better than what his companions described about the End.

So, he had no interest in knowing how to get to the End.
