The Warrior of Love

In fact, Jiang Liu had only seen nine Rakshasa Kings at most, and the "ten" in "Ten-headed Demon King" was said by the Rakshasa Kings themselves.

Perhaps, the appearance of ten Rakshasa Kings together would have some special effect, and the Demon King kept them as a trump card.

"Don't worry about me, this little injury will heal after a good night's sleep."

Jiang Liu slapped the black parchment on the table, attracting everyone's attention.

"Rather than that, let's talk about how to win."

The parchment contained the game terms of King Rakshasa. Everyone had read it many times, but had not solved the mystery.

"Well, this game is difficult for both sides to win."

Miss Asuka thought about it and said, "Among the three conditions for the organizer's victory, except for the last one which is meaningless, the first two are basically impossible to achieve now that the coalition has been formed, right? Not to mention killing Bai Yasha and Jiang Liu, even occupying half of the small garden... is unimaginably difficult."

"But correspondingly, it is also very difficult for us to win."

Kasukabe frowned as he looked at the clauses: "The last clause is still meaningless, and the first three clauses... one and two are essentially the same thing, which would require unimaginable resources and a long time to complete.

There’s only one last one… but it also sets up a puzzle.”

“依次占领5210、5610、6010、6410、7210，并占领「罗刹国」的心脏……但问题在于罗刹的心脏在什么地方？”

Sarah frowned, "From the requirements of the 'occupation', we have no room for error. If we are not careful, we will suffer huge losses. We must not try rashly."

"Heart... From this perspective, the only clues should be these five designated outer gates."

Bai Yasha also used his brain for a rare moment: "Is there some connection between these five numbers?"

"This is easy. The difference between every two numbers is 400, except for the last two numbers, which have a difference of 800. According to this pattern, there should be another 6810 between the fourth and fifth numbers."

Izayoi spread his hands: "But it can't be that simple, right?"

“Maybe it’s that simple.”

Black Rabbit raised his hand and said, "Didn't Lord Jiang Liu say before that one of the Demon King's targets is him? Perhaps this victory condition is designed to lure Lord Jiang Liu."

"That makes sense... Jiang Liu?" Shizaye suddenly noticed that Jiang Liu was staring at the parchment in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu came back to his senses and gave a confident smile to everyone who was looking at him with concern.

“That answer is correct, but the solution is not “the difference is 400.”

"What do you mean?"

"We divide each number into two parts, for example, the first 5210 can be divided into "52" and "10", and then reverse the order."

"10, 52...10, 56...ah, so that's what's going on!" Izayoi suddenly realized, but then his expression became strange.

"Hey? What are you talking about?" The eldest lady was not very familiar with the relevant knowledge and was a little confused.

Izayoi explained: "If 10 is considered as the base and the numbers after it as exponents, it will correspond to the mathematical concepts of ancient India.

In their numerical system, there are a total of 19 levels of units, among which units above level 3 can basically only appear in astronomy and mythology.

10 to the 52nd power corresponds to the 10th level unit "Ganges sand", followed by "asamkhyeya", "nayuta", "inconceivable", "immeasurable", and "large number". The missing number in this series is "68 to the 6810th power", which corresponds to "immeasurable", that is, ."

"But even without this method, if we only look at the simple numerical pattern, we can get the number 400 from the difference of 6810."

Jiang Liu said seriously: "So the location of the capital should not be 6810, but 1068."

"I see." Black Rabbit nodded excitedly, but soon hesitated again.

"But could this also be a trap set by the enemy, deliberately misleading us, and the correct answer is still 6810?"

"Well, it's normal for you to have this concern, but you see..."

Jiang Liu motioned for everyone to look at the map on the table. Because the structure of the Box City was very special and this war was too unconventional, there was no topographic map in the usual sense. It was a map that roughly marked the structure of the Box City and the locations of various outer gates.

"Before, the Rakshasa King started to invade the surrounding areas from a certain outer gate in the six digits. He did not have any offensive tendencies. He basically attacked the surrounding areas indiscriminately, just like ink spreading on the water.

However, his second expansion, which was when the South District was attacked last time, seemed to be aimed at striking and defeating the "Dragon Horned Eagle Lion" to monopolize the South District. In the end, with the intervention of reinforcements, he did not fully achieve his goal, and the tug-of-war with us formed the current battle line.

But in fact, his way of aggression has changed. In the past, he attacked the surroundings indiscriminately, but this time he chose several breakthrough directions in a targeted manner... Among them were three outer gates specified as victory conditions.

As for this capital city... 6810 is one of the territories he has just conquered, but 1068 has already been in his hands."

"Was his last attack just to conceal the actual location of the capital?" Black Rabbit suddenly realized.

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he is playing psychological tactics with us, anticipating our reactions and then doing the opposite... but we are being too cautious to consider this much.

Although the conditions for "occupation" are harsh and there is no room for error, at least we can have one more try. 6810 and 1068 outer gates..."

Jiang Liu stood up and threw a knife on the table, hitting the outer gate 1068.

"Let's operate on it first!"

"Okay, the combat objective has been determined."

Although it is still unclear which of the two outer sects is the real leader, since Jiang Liu has made the decision, no one is inclined to oppose him.

"Then the next thing to consider is what to do specifically."

Izayoi crossed his hands on the table, his thoughtful look made him look inexplicably mature.

"There are two ways to "occupy". One is to wipe out the enemy and maintain it for more than one day, and the other is to form an encirclement... The latter is not suitable for us, but is extremely easy for the Rakshasa army.

We are the attacking side, and there are outer gates occupied by the enemy everywhere. The Rakshasa army can easily surround us. Once we fall into that situation, we will be regarded as "heresy" and our spiritual power will be weakened by two-thirds. The occupying side will be "mankind" and our spiritual power will be increased by two-thirds.

——Basically, they are at the mercy of others.”

Judging from the textual description, the rule of "occupation" is extremely favorable to the Rakshasa army.

Not to mention that the first one requires a lot of manpower and time, the second one is completely prepared by King Rakshasa for himself.

"Moreover, if we intend to capture a specific outer gate and then attack the Rakshasa capital, we will have to march straight in... The Rakshasa army only needs to cut off our retreat and occupy the outer gate behind us, and then they can easily surround and kill us."

Leticia shook her head. "That means we must deploy troops to guard each outer gate along the way, and make sure they are not breached by the enemy."

"It can basically be concluded that it is a trap."

Bai Yacha turned to Jiang Liu and said, "Boy, the enemy will definitely retreat from you in the early stage. As long as you go deep enough, the enemy will immediately surround you. By then, it is not impossible for the entire army to be wiped out.

But if you don't enter the interior of the "Rakshasa Kingdom", you will have to work hard and "peel" from the outside bit by bit to win. Well, what are you going to do?"

"It's really difficult, but we have no choice."

Jiang Liu tapped the table with his fingers and thought seriously for a moment.

"Our disadvantage is that we can't use the Realm Gate, but the Rakshasa King can send troops through the Light Belt. If the mobility of both sides is the same, the possibility of us being surrounded will be greatly reduced."

"But even Vera can't move the army. Isn't it too late to ask the Queen of Halloween now?"

"It is not necessary to invite the Queen here. Even if the mobility is not as good as expected, it will be fine as long as we can ensure that there are enough forces stationed at each outer gate."

Jiang Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned to Bai Yasha and asked, "How many helpers can you find?"

"Me?" The white-haired Loli scratched her head. "Ordinary guys are useless, but many of my old friends don't care whether humans and the world will be destroyed, so they probably can't help you."

"How could that be? As long as you are sincere enough, I believe they will be moved."

Jiang Liu asked sincerely, "Do you know someone who is very good at fighting and was originally a demon king, and who doesn't need to feel sorry even if he is accidentally killed?"

Bai Yasha: “…”

Chapter 1037: The Demon Kings Moved (Happy New Year!)

"Even the Heavenly Army doesn't dare to attack me, so how dare a mere human come and cause trouble?"

"How dare you! I don't think you take me seriously at all. You dare to show off your skills in front of an expert—"

"You think you can challenge us just by defeating a few losers? How naive!"

……

"Brother, save me!"

"Don't come over here!"

"Wait a moment!"

boom--

The overwhelming force of the impact distorted the space and knocked down the mountain-like giant.

And it wasn't just one, but three giants who were nearly a thousand meters tall were knocked to the ground at the same time!

"Ahem... Damn, what's wrong with this guy?"

"I have never seen such a powerful monster..."

"I could tell at once that he was not a human being!"

These are three guys with extremely weird looks. Not to mention their clothes and facial features, the most eye-catching thing is their arms... At first glance, you can't even count how many hands there are. They just look so densely packed and disgusting.

Jiang Liu fell to the ground and looked speechlessly at the three giant brothers who were knocked to the ground but still talking. He was too lazy to count their hands to see if they were as numerous as in the myth, with hundreds of hands.

That’s right, these three guys are the famous “Hecatonchus” in Greek mythology. There are three brothers in total, and they are the children of Uranus and Gaia.

In the little garden, they are natural gods born from the earth. As the strongest kind of demon king, they were once rampant and were the backbone of the "Abyss (Tartarus)".

However, they are not natural demon kings like the three-headed dragon, and they do not have any unwashable malice. So when the "Abyss" was destroyed, these three guys turned against it when they saw the bad times and defected to a main god among the Greek gods. They can be said to be quite "heroes".

In fact, the Greek gods did not really consider these three as their own people. They just asked them to promise not to cause trouble again, and then banished them to a remote corner and left them alone.

In other words, the Greek gods would not kill them all in many cases, and these three hundred-armed giants, because they saw the opportunity quickly, had a much better end than their descendants, Atlas, who is still holding up the sky at the end of the world...

But their carefree days have come to an end today!

"Do you want to fight again?"

Jiang Liu drew out the scarlet magic sword from the dark void and looked at the three-headed giant with a hundred arms with a smile on his face.

"As long as you agree, I can not let you sign the contract, and I will set you free after the matter is over."

The three brothers looked at each other and exchanged glances at a very fast speed. Finally, Gugus, the youngest brother, grinned and clenched his teeth.

"You must be joking, you lowly person—"

Zheng!

The red sword pressure slashed across the giant's face, easily cutting through the flesh that was protected by the earth and had a strength comparable to that of the continental shelf, revealing the metallic bones... The severe pain made him swallow the second half of his sentence.

The two brothers looked at each other, and suddenly stood up and punched Gugus.

"You idiot!"

"How do you speak to Lord Jiang Liu?!"

The two men were ruthless and each of them smashed Gugus's head into the ground with one punch.

"I am so glad to be Master Jiang Liu's comrade-in-arms!"

“That is our greatest honor!”

Gugus, who was smashed into the ground, had the urge to cry: How could he not be "honored"? The three of them were best at strength and defense, but combined they were no match for this little guy, who was beaten to death with bare hands.

Now he has taken out the magic sword!

If we don’t feel “honored”, what else can we feel?

Besides, it was said that this human killed Apophis and Tartarus? So it wouldn't be shameful to lose to him.

The three demon kings, who had survived the dawn period by changing with the times, swore allegiance to Jiang Liu with almost no psychological pressure.

Anyway, you are just pretending to be a coward temporarily. You can come back after the war. It is not worth risking your life for it.

In this way, the three demon kings, whose spiritual powers were still in four digits even though they were weakened and whose power was enough to promote the operation of the stars, were recruited by Jiang Liu.

"That's three more..."

Jiang Liu took out a list and crossed out the name of the hundred-armed giant.

When the eldest of the three brothers saw this scene, his eyes flickered and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Jiang Liu... Sir, are you gathering companions?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Liu raised his head, with a premonition in his heart, "What do you want to say?"

"I can help with this."

The boss opened his mouth and showed a seemingly honest smile.

"The evil dragon Campe is nearby."
