Demon King Castle Raid Update: 90% of Seized Items Were "Unopened School Backpacks." Hero Party Faces Robbery Charges

The Royal Capital Peacekeeping Bureau publicly displayed approximately 30,000 items seized during the house raid (commonly known as a “bust”) on the Demon King’s castle on the 22nd. In a gymnasium-sized space covered with blue tarps, what was laid out was neither legendary armaments nor forbidden grimoires. When the heavy seal on the “blood-stained treasure chest” was broken, what emerged were approximately 20,000 unopened school backpacks in vivid reds and blacks, along with massive quantities of infant formula.

Analysis of the seized internal documents of the Demon Army revealed even more astonishing facts. The thick leather-bound file previously thought to be a secret ledger turned out to be a donation register for orphanages and single-mother support organizations across the entire realm. It was the moment that proved the mysterious philanthropist “Demon King Scholarship Fund,” who had been quietly supporting the capital’s welfare for years, was none other than the Demon King himself. “The Demon Army’s CSR activities are more generous than our national budget,” lamented the capital’s leading intellectuals.

In the backlash of this heartwarming story, the hero party’s social standing has been deteriorating rapidly. Under the pretext of “saving the world,” they kicked through the castle’s priceless stained-glass windows to break in and indiscriminately knocked out the orc guards. Furthermore, they physically smashed open and ransacked the treasure chests containing backpacks waiting to be donated, solidifying charges of trespassing and robbery with bodily harm.

That same afternoon, the Peacekeeping Bureau designated the hero party as a “Specially Designated Dangerous Hero Group.” The hero’s account, which had been live-streaming on official social media with hashtags like “#DemonKingRaidNow” and “#TreasureChestJackpot” to feed their need for validation, was permanently frozen by the platform operator as “propaganda by an antisocial organization.” The downfall of the hero with 2 million followers has sparked a firestorm online, with critics flooding in saying “They’re just a burglary gang” and “Didn’t their parents teach them not to open other people’s drawers?”

One of the Four Heavenly Kings, serving as the Demon Army’s spokesperson, tearfully appealed at a press conference: “We had adopted the slogan ‘Sustainable World Conquest’ and started by supporting childcare for the next generation. How do those barbarians plan to take responsibility for the school backpacks that will no longer reach the children starting school?” The audience erupted in sympathetic applause at the spokesperson’s heartfelt plea.

In an era where the definitions of justice and evil are cleaved in two by the sharp blade called “compliance,” as past offenses of smashing people’s pots for spare change are being dug up one after another, before receiving half the world, the hero party faces the ultimate-difficulty quest: “Find a competent lawyer.”

Stakeholder Comments

• Royal Capital Peacekeeping Bureau Spokesperson: “Not a single magic sword or poison was found. The inventory of seized items looks like a baby goods catalog, and we’re baffled.”
• Demon Army PR Department (Four Heavenly Kings, Water General): “The Demon King worked late every night adding handwritten message cards for the children. It’s unforgivable that they trampled on that.”
• Director of the Royal Capital First Orphanage: “Without the anonymous donations from the ‘Demon King Scholarship Fund,’ we wouldn’t have survived the winter. The Demon King is far more reliable than the hero.”
• Ordinary Citizen (Villager A): “Heroes have always been opening our drawers and smashing our pots without permission. I always knew they’d get caught eventually.”
• Pro-Hero Intellectual: “There may have been procedural flaws, but the Demon King’s donations could just be a cover for tax evasion!”
• SNS Platform Spokesperson: “Accounts belonging to designated antisocial groups are immediately frozen. No matter how legendary your sword is, it can’t beat the Terms of Service.”
• Lawyer (Monster Rights Advocacy Committee): “An unannounced forced entry combined with one-sided violence. We fully support the Demon King’s claim for damages.”
• The Destroyed Stained Glass: “I adorned this castle for centuries, only to be shattered by a dropkick. Zero aesthetic sensibility.”
• The Opened Treasure Chest: “Compared to the Demon King’s gentle hands that go ‘click’ when opening me, that hero pried me open with a crowbar-like object and it hurt.”
• The Unopened School Backpack: “I didn’t care if my owner was an orc child or a human child, but now I’m just sitting on a blue tarp gathering dust.”
