Demon General Malgrion and his fifteen thousand troops are about to attack our camp!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone inside the tent was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demon General Malgrion? Damn… How did that demon get here so fast?\" Rei gritted his teeth, clenching both fists tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malgrion was one of the five demon generals of the Demon Empire. His strength was second only to the strongest, and he was known for his terrifying brutality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, a human army from one of the kingdoms on the Southern Continent had been defeated by him and his forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who were captured were turned into slaves, while the rest were brutally tortured. Their bodies were then fed to the demon monsters within the Demon Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei hadn't expected Malgrion to launch an attack now, while he was still wounded and unprepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I understand. Please assemble ten thousand troops. I'll go with them!\" Rei said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Hero!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the soldier left, Rei tried to stand up, but Roseline quickly stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing?\" she asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to go to the battlefield,\" he replied calmly. \"Malgrion is a nightmare for humanity. I have to kill him right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His duty as a hero weighed heavily on him, yet he felt no resentment or regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he was young, he had always dreamed of becoming a hero for others—and now, that dream had come true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You…\" Roseline was moved by his determination and sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, she felt sad and reluctant. If Rei insisted on going, it would be tantamount to suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was not in good condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor, what if I go to the battlefield instead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A calm voice came from behind them. Rei and Roseline were startled and turned to look at Evalyn in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You?\" Rei pointed at her, then shook his head. \"No, that's impossible. This isn't your responsibility, Evalyn. I don't want to involve you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn was from the future, and the chaos of the past wasn't her burden to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how are you going to handle this? You're injured yourself. It's hard enough just to move. You'll surely die if you go to the battlefield,\" Evalyn stated matter-of-factly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still, this is my responsibility,\" Rei insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the point of responsibility if it ends up hurting you and the people you care about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evalyn let out a long sigh and briefly glanced at Roseline, whose expression was clouded with sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, she realized her ancestor was both stubborn and kind-hearted. For some reason, Evalyn felt as though she was seeing a reflection of herself in Rei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—perhaps it was more accurate to say that she was the one who resembled her ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei was at a loss for words. He wanted to argue back, but he couldn't find anything to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Evalyn said, to be honest, made perfect sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his current condition, going to the battlefield would be no different from suicide. But what else could he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a hero. It was his duty to protect humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Rei was about to insist again, Nolan immediately stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, don't be so dramatic. Let Evalyn handle it. This is nothing more than a trivial matter for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The past, present, and future were indeed interconnected. However, Nolan wasn't the least bit afraid of affecting the timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the future—his and Evalyn's era—was an absolute result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much he and Evalyn tried to change the past, the outcome would remain the same. And even if it did change, it would simply branch into a different timeline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Nolan and Evalyn's urging, Rei finally gave in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a small sigh and said weakly, \"Alright, I understand. Please help us, Evalyn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He bowed his head toward her. Despite being her ancestor, there was no denying that he was now indebted to Evalyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay, Ancestor.\" Evalyn smiled and waved her left hand. \"Leave it to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She patted her chest proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Roseline took Evalyn away to prepare, leaving Nolan and Rei alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew awkward, but Nolan quickly broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hero Rei, may I speak with you privately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei was startled but quickly composed himself and gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. But before that, may I know your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan flinched, realizing he hadn't properly introduced himself yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Nolan Lorian. I am the Sixth Prince of the Great Velmora Empire in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sixth Prince?\" Rei was stunned. He was about to bow his head in respect, but an unseen force gently held him in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened, and his gaze toward Nolan filled with horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy is strong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the only thought that ran through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, tell me, Your Highness,\" he said respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan didn't immediately state his purpose. He took a chair from the corner of the tent, placed it near the bed, and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've heard from historical records that you come from another world. Is that true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded. \"Yes, I'm from another world. It's called Earth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan's heart pounded. He had suspected as much, but hearing it directly sent a strange thrill through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell me what that world is like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei looked slightly confused. This was the first time anyone other than Princess Roseline had asked him about his home world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, since Nolan had asked, he saw no reason to hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Rei nodded and began to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan listened intently. Fifteen minutes later, Rei finished, and Nolan finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is…\" Nolan narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last trace of doubt in his mind vanished. Rei truly came from the same world—and the same era—as him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold gaze softened a little as he asked, \"In that case, do you know the major families in Maple Leaf Country?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The major families in Maple Leaf Country?\" Rei blinked in surprise. He thought for a moment before shaking his head. \"Sorry, I don't know them. I'm from the East, so I'm not familiar with that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, his expression stiffened, and his heart began to race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You… what did you just say?! Maple Leaf Country? H-How could you possibly know there was a country like that in my previous world?\" he stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nolan grinned, his tone calm yet carrying a faint edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's because I come from the same place as you, Hero Rei Lionheart…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! We're going to win!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three kilometers away from the human army's encampment, a tall, burly demon with a bull-like face laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rode a horse that stood nearly two meters tall. The beast had two horns, each about fifty centimeters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its four powerful, muscular legs made the other horses behind it look insignificant in comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That demon was Malgrion—one of the Five Demon Generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was fixed on the distance, where Rei's army tents could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone,\" he shouted loudly. \"Today, victory will be ours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woaah!\" The roar of tens of thousands of soldiers erupted behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So…\" Malgrion grinned. \"Let's attack them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1195,"2026-05-30T06:57:33.623Z","2026-06-01T04:30:35.482Z",1,"novelbin.me","9e134f8ac7073e8d25516022fe3e7823dceadf54eec941a45f885bc21d6173e0","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-621","the-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-chapter-620",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-hidden-extra-the-lazy-prince-refuses-to-asce-cover.jpg"]
