Chapter 16: The Real Plan part 1

[Time left until the demons descend: 7 hours, 27 minutes, 18 seconds]

Hektor's massive figure stood tall and straight, his serious face devoid of any jest.

He was different from the other apostles.

The Great Demon, who revered martial strength, was conquered by Reji's absolute power and was willing to believe everything Reji said, no matter how absurd it seemed.

After all, in the face of absolute power, nothing is impossible.

Hektor believed that the new Demon King's devastating strength could clear any obstacles for them.

The Great Demon's vote of approval not only infuriated Eileen but also angered the Wicked Demon Lordan, feeling that Hektor had stolen his role.

The second to cast a vote of approval for Reji's "absurd" decision was the Decay Demon, Eris.

"War. Hee hee, the war is about to start."

"This way there will be... corpses. Eris's favorite corpses. Lots and lots of corpses. Endless corpses."

"Like. Love it. Eris loves his majesty, and Eris too... can't wait. Hee hee."

The Decay Demon, sitting there, swung her blood-stained butcher knife.

It was probably her way of expressing joy for Reji.

Her belly, built up of rotten flesh and corpses, trembled with her excited movements.

Her face, patched and stitched together from various pieces of flesh, grinned at Reji, looking as innocently delightful as a little girl told by her parents that they were going to the amusement park tonight.

A little girl weighing several hundred kilograms.

"Eris, shut up! This is not the place for your whims!" Eileen immediately scolded the Decay Demon below.

The Succubus was considered the leader among the female apostles.

Especially after the Demon King's descent,

Eileen's status would rise along with the tide.

Therefore, the Decay Demon, included in the "female apostles," couldn't help but shrink back, muttering grievously, "Eileen is scary... frightening."

But that was limited to a few murmurs before she quieted down.

"My King, even if we have enough void passages, these new passages have not yet been reinforced by Dian. The risk of rashly traversing them is great, with the chaotic space streams inside causing a high casualty rate for our army. These losses are completely avoidable! Please, consider Ulala! It's not easy for the Breeding Demon to produce these armies!"

Seeing that there were already three votes in favor, Eileen became even more anxious.

She was different from the Wicked Demon Lordan.

Lordan flattered Reji blindly for self-preservation and to curry favor, but the Succubus genuinely cared for Reji, considering the whole demon race, so she must dissuade when necessary.

"My King, Eileen makes sense." The Sorcery Demon Dian spoke up, providing Reji with further detailed data.

"I estimate the casualty rate of traversing these native passages to fluctuate around 15%. If we let the army pass tonight, we will lose hundreds of thousands of troops before even clashing with humans."

"This number, in terms of time, is the number of demons that Ulala's breeding grounds would take decades to produce again."

After the Sorcery Demon's words, Ulala, also a member of the "female apostles," immediately waved her tentacles under the hint from the Succubus Eileen, emitting "Ulala...," "Ulala Ulala..." cries of lament to express her stance.

The Breeding Demon, the breeding ground of the demon race, is a producer type of troop.

So for Ulala, even low-ranking demons are like her children, losing hundreds of thousands of them for nothing, Ulala was very distressed and reluctant.

However, at this time, the Wicked Demon Lordan, who had not found the opportunity to speak, finally became spirited.

"My King, our Wicked Demon clan is willing to sacrifice ourselves to assist the Sorcery Demon, greatly speeding up the reinforcement of the passages!"

The proposal of the Wicked Demon brought a new turn of events.

Dian has always been pragmatic.

After Lordan spoke, he pondered briefly as if calculating, and soon nodded affirmatively, saying, "If we use the essence of the wicked demons as an aid... hmm, it should indeed be possible to complete the reinforcement tonight, reducing the army's traversal loss rate to below 3%, only..."

The essence is produced only after the death of a wicked demon, and the yield is very low.

Lordan understood the meaning of the sorcery demon and bit his teeth, loudly saying, "It would be our honor as the Wicked Demon clan to pave the way for our king's plan!"

This solved the last problem.

After tonight, a million demon troops would descend upon the world, returning to the continent from the banished chaos rift, seemingly a done deal.

Seeing this, Sword Demon Pierre no longer remained silent and stood up to express his stance:

"My King, if your decision is made, please allow me to lead the team, bringing the last seven high-ranking Sword Demons of our clan as our vanguard, to assassinate the strong, political leaders, and military officers among humans in advance. This can greatly avoid our clan's casualties and lay the foundation for the victory of the king and our clan."

The Sword Demon squad.

Reji is very familiar with it.

In the first playthrough of the game, the Sword Demon clan had illustrious military achievements, with countless human commanders, prodigies, and even kings ultimately falling to the blade of the Sword Demons.

Reji did not expect that, after a thousand years, there would still be seven high-ranking Sword Demons left.

You should know, a high-ranking Sword Demon is equivalent to at least a human with "five moldings" lit in their life track, around level 70, roughly equivalent to a sect master, college dean, or a high-ranking commander of a legion-level force.

And it doesn't stop there.

After the Sword Demon spoke, Hektor shook his head.

The Great Demon, with his massive stature, stood up and voiced out to Reji in a deep tone.

"My King, let the vanguard duties be entrusted to our clan. Although only three high-ranking Great Demons remain in the Great Demon legion, we still have over fifty mid-ranking Great Demons."

"In a surprise attack, the Great Demon legion can help our race to capture the most cities before humans can react, securing the most victories for the king."
