The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 46: PREPARATION FOR WAR

Xeron, that's great. I didn't expect you to cause a volcano to erupt and build a city that fast! “

In the hall, one of the high-level demons said to Xeron, “King Kreegan is very happy with your appearance and has instructed me to give you a gift!”

“No matter what the prize is, nothing can make me happier than the upcoming war!” Xeron answered. Did Your Majesty say when we could start marching?

“Yes, we can get ready to leave!” said a high-level demon. “But there is a problem now. We might not be able to attack the capital of Erathia with our allies, the Overlords Dungeon. According to reports from our spies, someone has blocked the road to Steadwick, the capital of Erathia! ”

“WHO?” Xeron asked unhappily.

The AvLee elf! the high-level demon responded with great annoyance. “They have always been allies of Erathia. Not long ago, an AvLee Elf ruler brought an army and rushed in support of Erathia. Now, they not only blocked our path but also seemed to have known of our existence. According to reports of spies, they have been stationed on the main road and built a fort, preparing to stop our troops at the border of Erathia.

“Then kill them!” Xeron kicked the table. “That weak girl, they can't stop us. With the iron hooves of our Inferno army, all obstacles will turn to ashes! “

Another high-level demon, who had remained silent all this time, spoke in a coveting manner, “I have the same idea, Xeron. The souls of the elves were very favourable. “.

“Unfortunately, I'm afraid it won't be that easy! We have discovered that among this army of AvLee elves is the Golden Dragon Queen. He led a large number of golden dragons to help the elven army. Rashka, Xeron, that golden dragon is hard to deal with! ”

There was silence in the hall for a while before Xeron said, “You were right, Ignatius. We need a stronger army! “

The high-level demon known as Ignatius nodded. “Call some high level demons. Only these high-level demons can help us fight the golden dragon! “

Rashka another high-level demon was unhappy. “But if we call a high-level demon to help, we should share some of the souls we harvest ..”

Xeron said, “Share it. With the dragons around, it would be difficult to win just by relying on a few low-level demons. Our first task now is to work with our allies and surround Steadwick. In the history of Erathia, it never fell into the hands of the enemy. Now, we have to make history! ”

“Good. We have reached a consensus! ” Says Ignatius. “So, who lives here to summon that high-level demon?”

“I won't stay here!” Rashka immediately said. “Staying living in the demon city means I can't go out to fight and harvest souls. This is unbearable for me! ”

Ignatius said to Xeron, “Then, Xeron, do you want to stay here?”

Why me? Xeron said with great displeasure, “I've lived here long enough this month just to build this damn city, and you still want me to stay here ?! I want blood, I want to kill, I want soul! Who can give this if I stay here ?! ”

“Alright!” Ignatius. “Then I will stay. You can leave with the first troops and get rid of the small scout troop on the way. After I summon a sizeable demon army, I will catch up. ”

“Ha ha ha! Ignatius, you're an amazing friend! ” Rashka laughed out loud after hearing that Ignatius was willing to stay. “Do not worry. I'll leave some beautiful elf ladies for you! “

In the Inferno faction, other than pure demons like Xeron, Rashka, and Ignatius, there were some nobles who believed in demons and could also lead demons in war. These leaders were humans who were ostracized by the human kingdom because of their belief in demons, and they were often referred to as heretics. Ignatius refers to these gentlemen.

As Roy stood guard outside the door and listened to the conversation of the three high-level demons, he was immersed in deep thought.

He knew that this was the world of the Hero of Strength and Magic. But since this is the real world, the situation is very different from the original in the game.

Here, the Inferno faction leader hero was actually a high-level demon. They did not recruit their troops using gold coins but summoned him from the Abyss. To be honest, what could demons do with gold coins? They buy nothing and have no concept of money. Soldiers from other factions could have been recruited and possibly trained.

The hero who led the army was a high-level demon, and high-level soldiers were also great demons who were high-level demons. At best, their difference is between top and bottom. And this creates problems. Xeron and the others had to change contracts when they decided to fight against a powerful enemy, but high-level demons could not enslave other high-ranking ones, so they could only transact.

Low-level demons were enslaved, while middle-level demons were treated as mounts. Only the same high-level demons could transact equally. From this, it can be seen that the caste system among demons is very clearly divided. Only strength, bloodline, and rank were important in determining the status of demons.

In fact, from another point of view, Roy profited by staying in this world. In the Abyss, he had no chance to come into contact with high-level demons, so he did not understand the class division between them. But in this world of Strength and Magic Heroes, he had not only seen medium-level demons but high-level demons as well. With further observation, he would likely be able to understand the difference between the rankings, which proved useful as a reference for his future promotions.

What Roy is finding now is another big difference.

In the game, the heroes lead the troops and use all kinds of magic and their own unique traits to provide aid and bonuses to the soldiers. And even the enemy can't attack them. Now in this real world, since the heroes are leading the army, then they must participate in the war. This is a huge difference!

Since they participated in the war, it meant that the heroes could die, especially the warring races like demons. Roy does not believe that Xeron and the others will hide behind the army and use magic. He knew from their enthusiastic talk of battle.

Since heroes can die on the battlefield, then Roy has room to maneuver …

The World of Heroes of Power and Magic is one that centers around war, and it is not a bad idea for Roy to stay here. After all, he could gather many souls to strengthen himself. However, even if he wanted to plunder souls, he did not want to do so under duress. If possible, Roy would have preferred to wait until he was stronger before entering this world to fight as a hero. This way, he would not pick up the rest of the others but keep all the crops.

Had it been Roy, he would have also wanted to enslave other demons to fight for him and harvest those souls on his behalf.

Although Roy seemed obedient all along, causing Xeron to let his guard down, Roy never wavered in his desire to get rid of the demon's contract.

Since Xeron was using a demonic way to take care of her, he could also use a demonic way to treat Xeron. And the best way to get out of the devil's contract the devil's way is to make his contractor die!

If the scale of the war wasn't large enough, Roy would have trouble doing it. But now, Roy heard the best news for him.

The enemy that this group of demons wanted to face was actually a dragon. Not only that, but there was also a golden dragon queen!

Roy had initially been mentally prepared to work under Xeron for a long time, but little did he expect that the opportunity would come so soon. Roy may not be able to kill Xeron alone, but he can do it with the help of the dragons! As long as Xeron dies in battle with the Golden Dragon Queen, Roy will be free…
