The Demon King Mode System

CHAPTER 54: THE PHASED PLOT CLEAR

Due to his greed for the soul, Xeron certainly did not want to let the enemy escape. However, this place was under the influence of elves, and Uland was much more familiar with the terrain. After he led his army into the forest, Xeron quickly lost track of them.

Druids are devotees and defenders of nature. They protect nature, and nature will protect them. So, as soon as Uland entered the forest, the entire forest helped him cover his tracks. The lush foliage of the tall trees shook its leaves, and the entire sky of the fallen leaves blocked the scene. The grass suddenly grew wildly and covered the traces of the elven army. Brambles spread in the forest, blocking all paths of the forest, blocking the demons from passing through.

Under these circumstances, the elves managed to escape, causing Xeron to roar furiously

Although he burned the forest in anger, not only did it not help, it instead blocked the path of the demon army. Although demons were not afraid of fire, it did not mean that they would not be injured by the fire. So, in the end, Xeron could only awkwardly stop the chase and return with his troops.

The demon army needs to reset as well. Before the forest fires subsided, they could not advance, so they could only clear the battlefield first.

While the elves had lost many of their soldiers in battle, the demons had not done better. Many demons were killed and cast out. If not for Xeron's magic being stronger than Uland's, the consequences of this battle would have been unthinkable.

The number of souls that Xeron had finally obtained was around six hundred, but Roy had secretly captured a hundred and forty souls on the battlefield, which was quite a number. Doing the math, it meant that the elves had lost at least eight hundred people. But since Uland had escaped, Xeron did not know how many troops there were so he did not doubt the figure at all.

The bigger the battle, the more souls Roy could suck. After all, since there was a loophole in the demon contract, why would he treat himself unfairly?

After Xeron surrendered Roy's share, Roy gained a total of two hundred souls in this battle. Moreover, with the soul he had before, he now had nearly three hundred souls.

This amount was unimaginable to him in the Abyss of the Demon World. In the Abyss, he had to fight alone, and it took him a month to reach this figure. But here, he had participated in several battles and gained this much. There seems to be a reason why the devil loves war.

Three hundred souls sounded overwhelming, but it wasn't enough for Roy's plan because the hundred or so souls Xeron gave him were small souls and had little soul power.

Fortunately, Xeron and his army could be predicted to battle more with the elves, and Roy still had plenty of opportunities to continue gathering souls.

Uland's appearance further confirmed that the elves were gathering towards their capital. As long as Xeron continued to advance, he would continue to meet them. Now, the only thing that worried Roy was that Xeron's army would be reduced as they fought more. Regardless of how powerful Xeron's magic was, there was no way there would be no loss in battle. The more casualties there were, the greater the danger Roy would face during the battle. It will not be easy to win souls again.

After thinking about it, Roy decides that he must persuade Xeron to find a way to replenish his army.

However, Roy had clearly underestimated the plan and the fight between these high-level demons. When Roy mentions that they have lost too many soldiers and are aggrieved for their next move, Xeron immediately makes a decision and asks for help nearby!

If he waited for Ignatius' reinforcements from the demon city, Xeron's army would have to stop and wait a long time. Xeron wanted to maintain his current speed in soul seizing, so he stared at Rashka's army. Although there was quite a distance between them, it was still closer than the demon city.

Xeron wanted to use the excuse of suffering a huge loss for going against the main force of the elf army to send someone to have Rashka move some troops!

Putting aside the fact that Rashka's forces had not received more reinforcements from Ignatius, even if he had, Xeron's trick would immediately turn Rashka's advantage into meaningless.

It's worth Roy's push to succeed. These things seemed to happen frequently among high-level demons …

In fact, come to think of it, having such a huge pool of energy in the Abyss meant that the demons could continue to summon more troops. But what about the other races? They relied on birth, cultivation, training to build up their military strength. Their differences with the demons were not only slight. Under these circumstances, the only reason why this world was not completely occupied by demons was because these top-notch high-level demons were often in conflict.

After realizing this, Roy soon learns that he is not the one who sent this letter to Rashka!

He was originally thinking of traveling to Rashka's side to compose a story that ‘affirms’ that Rashka and Ignatius conspired. But now that he knew there was a showdown between the three of them, he understood that he could not get involved.

Xeron can send someone to ask for reinforcements, but what if Rashka doesn't want to compromise her own interests and doesn't want to send anything?

Rejecting the request is still okay. What was alarming was that Rashka would instantly kill the messenger and pretend to receive the message. Then, after the confrontation, he could blame the elves, saying that the envoy was intercepted by the elves. If Roy were to send the letter, he might be an unlucky person …

No hesitation. In the Abyss, it was best to assume that the demons had the most evil intentions …

Xeron initially wants to send Roy, but Roy uses his identity as a low-level demon to resist. Xeron thought it made sense, so he sent an evil spirit to send the letter.

If Rashka agreed to send reinforcements, it was more suitable for mid-level demons to bring them back. With Roy, a mid-level demon would likely not obey his orders and return soon …

As soon as the evil spirit left, Roy carefully asked Xeron what he would do if Rashka did not provide reinforcements. However, this did not bother Xeron.

Roy guesses that he has a faster way to get — reinforcements drawing magic formations on the spot and summoning demons. The only downside is that it will consume a lot of Xeron's magic power. He could recover his magic slowly, but during the war, there might be severe consequences if he did not have any magic power left. So, this method was probably the last resort, and he would only use it if the losses were too great.

However, after reorganizing the troops, Roy follows Xeron's forces and continues the march.

Only, Roy did not expect that. It was as if heaven was helping him, and his guesses came true!

After two weeks, they saw no reinforcements from Rashka nor any evil spirits who went to deliver the letter …
