Devil's Journey

Chapter 182 Fishing in troubled waters
"Okay, that's all, let that demon leave the land of Verrol as soon as possible, it was plundered." After hesitating for a while, Squire shook his head, then said nothing more, fell into the hands of the demon, and How could it be possible to spit it out.

"But these can't be given directly. The demon will be given as much as he retreats." Squire, who stood up, didn't look at Joseph, but turned around, turned his back to Joseph, and looked at the mural behind him.

Joseph nodded when he heard the words, then mustered up his courage, looked up at Squire's figure, and felt an impulse in his heart, wanting to call grandfather, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit them out.

"Go, you are no longer a human being, in the future... look at yourself"

Joseph nodded heavily, but when he turned his head, his mind was suddenly in a trance. For some reason, his grandfather's back made him feel strangely disgusted.
Afterwards, the magic army did not withdraw immediately, it seemed that Verrol's agreement was too easy, which aroused the greed of the magic army, and then they quarreled for several days.

On the grounds that his favorite cavalry was seriously injured and needed compensation, Julian asked for some more precious magic items and materials, even including a precious high-level storage ring, and then led the army to leave without further satisfaction.

It's just that the march is still slow, and at the same time, the detachments sent to help the young and strong men and women of Verrol to "move" have not stopped their operations. in the army.

However, this kind of behavior relieved the council members and nobles in the Golden City. Such procrastination and some rebellious behaviors are quite like the things that demons can do. The only thing that makes the Verrol people a little puzzled is that, It seems that apart from the hundreds of flying demons leading the army, the rest are demons and wild monsters.

However, these details are temporarily ignored by the gentlemen. The most important thing is to quickly recruit troops and build a line of defense in the west that has been ravaged by demons, so that the gentlemen can sleep well.

At this time, among the slowly retreating demon army, Julian's figure had disappeared, and at the same time, Leila's eight hundred demon cavalry also disappeared.

"Wow~" The screaming little devils rushed into a village with great excitement, and the village caught off guard soon fell into panic and despair.

The villagers who stood up to resist were quickly slaughtered, and then the houses were set ablaze. Before the ghosts could be raised, they were swallowed by the soul-absorbing magic weapon carried by the demon officer.

Killing people and setting fire to villages is done in one go, and the business is proficient, but a little bit chaotic, such as cannibalism, etc., are not uncommon.

Julian looked at the demon army he had recruited speechlessly, and when he got off the mountain, he showed his true colors. Fortunately, he has been training for so long, and he is still disorganized and undisciplined. Forget it, don't waste your efforts in the future.

Because of the looting and massacre along the way, the marching speed of the demon army was somewhat slower than Julian expected, and it has not yet reached the south side of the Maginot Line.

Annoyed, Julian had to behead a lot of dereliction of duty demon officers, and then beat up the leading maniac Bokasa and snake demon Andena, so as to clean up a little military discipline, and then sent tens of thousands of demon officers scattered Regrouped and accelerated towards the Maginot Line.

The hundreds of thousands of demons in the northern part of Maginot are still fighting internally at this time, and Julian is actually quite coveted. Now that he has achieved the legendary rank, he seems to be able to take advantage of the chaos to cut some of the hundreds of thousands of demons into his command.

There must be obedient demons, as well as unruly demons. After all, brave and brainless cannon fodder is quite easy to use, and they don't even need maintenance costs.

After eating humans and eating demons, Julian has become more and more comfortable doing this kind of thing, and he has no psychological pressure. It is best to bring the Mage Union in the south into the battlefield. The muddier the water, the better.

Julian likes to fish in troubled waters the most, but the Verol Plain is afraid that it will follow in the footsteps of the East Talia Plain, but now Julian doesn't care anymore.

Alice was a little depressed, not because Julian had a new favorite, um, maybe a little bit.

But Alice was mainly because she saw her mother, the mother who was always immersed in magic, and even she and her father didn't seem to be very important.

She didn't know if her mother had seen her too. The two sides were separated by the battlefield, and the mature and beautiful mother seemed to be even colder. Alice felt a little afraid from a distance because of her repulsive temperament.

But the problem is that her mother is now an enemy. No, she has become an enemy. Alice, who has not had any troubles in this regard for a long time, has this kind of entanglement again. It is a pity that Julian is really busy with official duties this time, blackmailing After passing the Verolians, Julian left in a hurry.

Alice had no choice but to lead the magic army back with longing and entanglement, perhaps because of the softness reawakened by family affection. During the return, Alice ordered the magic army to treat the newly 'joined' servants well.

Good military discipline does not mean benevolence and righteousness. Although the army composed of demons is also a victim of being kidnapped and plundered, after being demonized, their minds are gradually distorted, and they gradually lose their sense of identity as human beings, and there is no more empathy.

Slaughter and ravage the original kind without mercy. Compared with the demons, they are a little more rational. Knowing that the Lord Demon Lord needs more people, he restrained himself.

Therefore, the injuries of those servants who were escorted have not been low. A small part of the loss died of suicide or resistance, and most of them died of being bullied by demons or wild monsters.

Corpses thrown to the side of the road can be seen everywhere, and burned villages and towns are also everywhere. The servants are moved by the scene, and they often cry. Sometimes the demons in charge become irritable, and they will choose to kill one or two as a warning. .

In this way, most of the millions of people in the two counties in the west of Verrol were harmed. Hundreds of thousands of young and strong men and women were taken to the quiet forest and became neighbors with the persecuted half-elves.

The order issued by Alice, the temporary marshal, quickly spread throughout the tens of kilometers of the team. Senia carried out the order dispensably, and Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded those vicious demon officers .

At the same time, Tranquil Forest still hadn't recovered its serenity. After receiving Julian's order, Sharna also became ruthless and forcibly annexed those half-elf tribes who still wanted to maintain their independence.

With the help of Liya, the half-elven army holding the banner of destiny swept across the former compatriots from north to south.

The half-elves with poor organization didn't want it. Sharna, who was regarded as a savior, would point her bow and arrow at them, angrily denounced Sharna as a traitor, and wanted to contact other half-elves.

It's a pity that such resistance was futile. During the one or two months of Julian's Eastern Expedition, Sharna swept the northern and central parts of the Serene Forest. The half-elves under her command expanded to [-] to [-], and the number of soldiers reached tens of thousands.

But this was not enough. Sharna remembered that Julian's request was [-] half-elves and [-] half-elfs.
