How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

Others also started to complain, looking like they were pouring out their grievances.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness Sophielina." Even Anna, who seemed intelligent, steady, and very reliable, was helpless. "Isabella has always been like this. We were planning to discuss the action plan before, but we hadn't come to any conclusion yet, and it just so happened that Your Highness came over."

Even though she was exposed by everyone, Isabella did not seem to be ashamed at all. "Being upright is the knight's fighting principle. Anyway, we are strong enough to defeat the monsters hiding in the ruins. There is no need for any plan. Strength is the only way. Lady Claire thinks so, right?"

As he spoke, he looked towards Claire expectantly, as if waiting for her approval.

Facing Isabella's gaze, Claire could not help but remain silent for a moment, and instead poured a bucket of cold water on her. "Miss Isabella, I hope you can understand that even if the enemy is weak, it is not a reason for you to relax your vigilance. It is necessary to make a perfect plan before any action."

"It's fine if you are a hero, but you are a leader, and leaders can never act on impulse, because you are not only responsible for yourself, but also for every soldier and every member."

This profound and concise truth made everyone around look at Claire with admiration. Several girls from the White Rose Group looked even more admiring. Anna and Peggy seemed to agree very much. The accompanying officers couldn't help but show respect.

Isabella showed a guilty look, "I'm sorry, Master Claire, I made a slip of the tongue. I will definitely think of a plan before taking action."

Seeing that their usually heartless commander admitted his mistake, Anna and the others couldn't help but sigh, but they also comforted him without blaming him too much.

I guess we can finally discuss your plans this time.

I also breathed a sigh of relief, felt relieved, and picked up the cup of water in front of me to take a sip.

"But we don't have any experience in large-scale combat. Oh!" Isabella seemed to have thought of something and looked at me. "How about Princess Sophielina give us a general plan?"

puff……

I almost spit out the water I had just drunk.

Chapter 62: A qualified demon king should give advice to the opponent

"Sister Isabella, you are kidding..."

I wiped my mouth and my eye twitched.

After all, just from the look of Claire silently raising her hand to support her forehead and Kai looking up at the sky behind her, you can probably see how outrageous Isabella's behavior is.

Yes, it's okay that you didn't have a plan at the beginning. We could always come up with something by discussing it together. But now you have to rely on the saints of other countries to give you advice. Isn't that too much? So what's the point of building this meeting hall?

However, I didn't expect that others also agreed with Isabella's idea.

"It sounds like a good idea. After all, we don't have any experience."

"To be honest, I don't have any ideas right now."

"Your Highness is the candidate saint trained by Bishop White Lion, there will definitely be no problem!"

Even Anna nodded, revealing a look of approval, and glanced back and forth between me and Claire. "Since Lady Claire has approved of us, I believe that Her Highness Sophielina must have excellent knowledge in this area. We believe in Her Highness's ability."

Anna seemed to think that it was a bit too much to leave such a big thing to me alone, so she added, "Please rest assured, Your Highness only needs to come up with a rough plan framework. Isabella and the others will complete the details."

"That's right. My subordinates and I will help you perfect these things. Please don't be stingy with your advice at this time, Your Highness Sophielina!"

Isabella clenched her fists as if to cheer me up, and several other girls from the White Rose Group followed suit, as if they were having a unique fan meeting.

I really want to tell these guys that the so-called saint in front of them is actually the current devil lord of the dark camp. This time she entered the front-line base in disguise to inquire about your specific action plan, not to propose a plan to you!

But it was obvious that if he did so, what would greet him would only be a screen full of holy light, and Claire and Kai would be dragged into the water as well.

I sighed and thought about it.

The reason why these people didn't approach Claire was purely because of exceeding their authority. As a candidate for saint, I have no real power, so I don't have to worry about this problem. Besides, I guess in their thinking, approaching me is actually equivalent to approaching Claire.

After all, Claire's entourage and protection show how much she values ​​me. Even if a saint like me can't think of any solution, Claire will definitely be there to assist me.

Anna and the others considered more than just this.

Because planning an action plan does not mean putting the life and death of the army in one's own hands, and these people cannot be stupid. They will definitely consider the framework I proposed carefully. If there are obvious loopholes anywhere, their identities will most likely be suspected.

But in a way, this seems to be an opportunity that I can take advantage of -

Since it is impossible to make up a plan, then just make a "perfect" plan based on the actual situation, a plan so perfect that these people will have nothing to say.

Thinking of this, I had an idea. I reached out and pulled Claire's arm next to me, motioning her to come over.

"If Your Highness doesn't have any ideas for the time being, I have a preliminary idea here." Claire seemed to misunderstand my actions and said in a low voice.

...How come you really consider them seriously?

Seeing that my expression was a little strange, Claire thought I was worried about something, and explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this plan has loopholes and will not arouse any suspicion."

"No, I've already thought of a way."

I shook my head. “Just pretend to discuss it with me and act.”

Hearing this, Claire immediately understood my plan and moved her lips, but no sound came out.

I also nodded from time to time and responded, and in the eyes of people around me, it seemed as if Claire was giving me instructions.

Soon, this "discussion" was over.

Facing the gazes of the people opposite me, I thought about it and first gave a general introduction to the environment and terrain within the Undercity ruins.

"I also went into the ruins to investigate a few days ago, and the situation inside was roughly the same."

As soon as the voice fell, Anna nodded and said, "The information reported by the advance team I sent out before is similar to what Your Highness said, and Your Highness's report is obviously more detailed."

Just as I thought, if I had deliberately lied just now, I would have been suspected by now.

However, what they could never have imagined was that they were planning to use the intelligence that was "beneficial" to them to achieve the purpose of guiding the direction of the plan.

Seeing that everyone on the opposite side had become more convinced after Anna's explanation and were listening attentively, I smiled slightly and told her all my thoughts.

"Although there are no major threats on the left and right sides of the first floor of the ruins, that is the result of my observations in the past few days. It is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents. Moreover, it is a waste of time. We can't spend the night in the ruins. If we do that, we will definitely be attacked by surprise."

"So the best option is to go through the swamp in the middle, but from what I understand, most of the monsters in the swamp are very difficult to deal with, especially the monster called the Exploding Rock Tree."

"This kind of monster will trigger a self-destruction effect when it is on the verge of death, and as long as the mother tree is not dead, the child trees will continue to grow. The most important thing is that this swamp has a special effect. It has a large increase in fire damage and will also trigger an explosion. Combined with the characteristics of the Exploding Rock Mother and Child Tree, it will cause a series of explosions, which will pose a great threat to the army."

Hearing this, everyone around fell into deep thought. Isabella was also thinking, which was rare. She put forward her own idea, "I can ask the craftsmen in the city to forge standard fire-resistant equipment."

"This is only the first half of the first level of the ruins. There is no need to spend so much military money. If new situations arise in the second half, it will be a waste. Of course, the most important thing is the issue of time."

I shook my head and rejected it, intentionally leaving a hint in my words.

As expected, Anna suddenly thought of something. "According to your Highness, can we use fire resistance potion?"

"Yes, I thought of this too. After all, potions are cheaper than equipment and can increase resistance a lot in a short period of time." I nodded, hiding the smirk on the corner of my mouth.

Therefore, faced with this plan framework that had no problems at all, no one had any objection. Isabella and several subordinates were responsible for perfecting the details, while Anna and Peggy started to purchase fire resistance agents.

I believe that even if they don't need to replenish themselves, they will definitely find a potion that increases fire resistance the most and lasts the longest.

A certain pink-haired creature who walked out of the meeting room couldn't help but laugh secretly.

However, although Claire next to her learned about the effects of the redstone potion from Kai, she still raised her own doubts.

Chapter 63: Helping to Purchase Pharmacy

"Your Highness, the soldiers of the legion are no better than ordinary town guards. Their physical fitness has a high foundation due to the effect of long-term training, and they have excellent combat capabilities under the leadership of the commander. If we only consider the speed at which the redstone potion takes effect, please forgive me for being frank, but this plan is not reliable." As a member of the church legion, Claire naturally has rich experience and put forward her opinion directly.

"Lord Claire is right. Once the legion breaks through the swamp area, your highness's arrangements will be completely useless, and Miss Isabella and the others will definitely want to pass through the swamp as soon as possible." Kai also nodded.

But even though Claire and Kai were worried, as the mastermind, I was not worried at all.

"Don't worry, I've thought about what you've thought about." I winked at the two of them. "In that case, isn't it enough to just force them to slow down?"

Yes, I have always liked to consider detailed preparations before taking action, whether it is a habit developed in the previous life, or it is even more so when acting as a demon king after rebirth. After all, if there is no such plan, how can I talk about developing the dark camp?

"As for the speed at which the negative effects of the redstone potion take effect, there might be a little trouble."

"trouble?"

"Let's make some arrangements in advance." I smiled and brought Claire and Kai to the camp where Anna and Peggy were.

The two were previously responsible for purchasing potions and other supplies. When we visited, Peggy was leading several teams of paladins and priests and seemed to be planning to leave the camp.

"Princess Sophia, why are you here?" Peggy stopped and was curious about my sudden visit.

Anna in the camp also looked over after hearing the voice, "Your Highness Sophielina, what can I do for you?"

"After all, this is a plan proposed by others, and I thought I could provide some help to the best of my ability. However, I don't know much about marching, so I wanted to come and see if there is anything I can do to help with Sister Anna and Sister Peggy."

The bright smile on her lovely face instantly melted the hearts of everyone around her.

"Her Highness Sophielina is so kind."

"Is this an angel..."

Obviously, this well-behaved look has extraordinary lethality. It can be clearly seen from the way a lolita control leader behind him pretends to cover his chest inadvertently and Kai's starry eyes.

Anna and Peggy couldn't help but fall into it, but fortunately they reacted quickly.

"I understand Her Highness Sophielina's intentions. We just happened to be facing some difficulties."

Anna didn't act pretentiously and directly stated the problem, "We found that most of the fire resistance potions on the market are not effective enough, and the number of useful potions is very small. In addition, those adventurers seem to be buying them up in large quantities, resulting in the potions we have purchased now not being enough for the army to cope with this operation."

"So Sister Anna asked me to take people to other towns to see if there are any suitable medicines that can be purchased." Peggy said at the side, and also explained her previous plan to take people away.

"I see. Then I'll go to other areas with Sister Claire and the others to help with the purchases." I nodded, looking like I understood.

But having said that, I had no intention of going on a long journey with them. I pretended to be innocent and asked, as if I remembered something, "By the way, I don't know which potions are better. Sister Anna, can you tell me?"

"After all, it would be bad if we accidentally acquired the wrong one~"

When he said this he stuck out his tongue.

Is this His Highness's little devil mode?

Claire and Kai thought silently.

Regardless of what the two people behind me thought, Anna did not have any doubts at all in the face of my subtle questioning. "If Your Highness hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. Your Highness should just pay attention to these potions. They are all quite effective."

After naming seven or eight potions, Anna added, "There is also a redstone potion. I hope Your Highness will pay attention to this potion as much as possible, because it is the best among these potions in terms of both effect and duration."

Huh, here it comes.

I deliberately showed a slightly surprised look, "Hey, redstone potion?"

"Your Highness, have you ever heard of this potion?"

"I happen to know a pharmacist sister. She and her friends stockpiled a batch of these medicines because the Barena Bunker was opened some time ago."

It seemed that my excellent acting skills made Anna and Peggy unable to detect anything unusual. Anna quickly asked, "Your Highness, can you help us purchase this batch of medicine from them? We can buy it at the market price."

But when he spoke, his face looked a little depressed. After all, there was nothing wrong in purchasing at the market price in the past. But now, whether it is the opening of the Baren Bunker on the side of the Orwin Empire, or the urgent need to conquer the ruins on the side of Nalton, there is no reason for those pharmacists not to raise the price.

So when she saw me shaking my head, Anna hesitated for a moment and said, "Sorry, I overstepped my authority. We can have more..."

But before she could finish her words, I interrupted her and said, "Sister Anna, you just need to pay the cost price. We can make up the difference. After all, you must have a lot of military expenses, and we also said that you should do your best!"

"But……"

Anna subconsciously wanted to say something, but I had already anticipated her reaction.

"Don't worry, Miss Anna. Our Holy Light Monastery will also provide some financial support so Your Highness won't spend too much." Claire spoke at the right time.

If it was just simple admiration before, now these words made Anna and others feel completely grateful.

"Your Highness Sophia, please accept our tribute. Your kindness and beauty make you absolutely the most suitable candidate for a saint in our hearts." Anna and Peggy expressed their feelings from the bottom of their hearts, and others followed suit to express their respects.

It was obvious that my series of actions had completely confirmed my identity in their eyes, so even if there was anything unusual, they would not suspect me.

After saying goodbye to Anna and the others, I took Claire and Kai back to the town of Nalton and took out a large amount of redstone potions that Sister Chang'an and the others had sent to me from the mailbox.

"Your Highness, what is your intention in controlling the source of redstone potion in your own hands?" Claire more or less saw the intention of my previous action, but she knew nothing about the deeper considerations.

After all, to be honest, even if a player could be considered an expert in my previous life, he probably wouldn’t have been able to predict my next move.

"Just follow me and you'll find out."

Chapter 64: Lolita from Zaun

To solve the problem of the speed at which the negative effects of redstone potions take effect, one naturally has to start with the potion itself. Even for those potions that have already been manufactured, the effects will not remain unchanged. Highly skilled pharmacists can make in-depth modifications to the potions based on their own understanding.

By adding materials with different properties to strengthen or weaken the effect of a medicine, both have advantages and disadvantages. For example, strengthening a medicine may cause side effects, while weakening the effect of a medicine is generally to reduce the conditions for use, etc.

But this modification is very obvious. If I use this method to modify the redstone potion to produce side effects, it will be easy for Anna and others to discover the abnormality, and then I will not be able to explain it even with my identity.

So what is needed at this time is something that can aggravate the side effects of the medicine without anyone noticing.

However, no pharmacist would be willing to face such a situation, let alone be bothered to study the relevant pharmaceutical knowledge. Therefore, there are very few pharmacists who possess this ability, and even in the previous life, there are only a few such people.

However, in his memory, there just happened to be such an indigenous person, and he was in the town of Nalton.
