Only the little demon and Aenekos can handle it. As for Mava and the goblin mother, they are naturally responsible for guarding the valley and ensuring that the arrangement of the portal will not be disturbed.
This is the most critical wave, so no mistakes are allowed. Otherwise, it will cost a lot of trouble.
At the same time, in the Demon Realm... Livi was also making preparations.
"Well, Aenekos and Mava are done with their work. Uh, although there seem to be a lot of accidents..."
After Livi figured out the whole story, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but fortunately the result was good. In short, she now has to prepare the synchronous portal. Once it is done, she can go directly to the main continent.
On the other hand, of course, there is the manpower to plan the second transmission...
...Naturally, this time, they could teleport far more people than last time. Livy herself would definitely be the first priority. In addition to herself, she planned to teleport all the remaining goblins and lesser demons, and then also teleport the Direclaw Wolves that were captured and trained as mounts.
For the remaining spot, Livi originally wanted to teleport Dullahan as well, but the teleportation magic power was not enough to bring her along. Finally, Livi compromised and decided to take Meimei along.
"As for Star, you just stay at home and watch over the house..."
"Yes, thank you for your generosity, Your Highness Livi~"
Star was very satisfied with the job of looking after the house. Of course, she also had important things to do. For example, the tree and the sprouting seeds had already been planted and were now growing in the Demon King's City.
The water soaked with Livi's magic seemed to have a miraculous effect when used to water these plants. At least after Star tried a control group experiment, he found that the plants watered with this magic water grew much more vigorously than the control group.
Especially the tree at the beginning, just like it had eaten Jinkela, it has now grown to a thickness that can be hugged by three people, and its crown is open enough to accommodate more than a dozen people standing underneath.
The reason why this tree can thrive so well must be that it directly absorbed the magic power released by Livi at that time, that is to say, it was most deeply affected by Livi's magic.
Therefore, the final appearance of this tree is very likely to determine the final outcome of these plants, so it is natural to focus on observation.
Naturally, all the observation work was given to Star, and no one else could do this job.
What's even more surprising is that flower buds have already grown on this tree...
...First of all, this is a fruit tree. The seeds that Star brought back from the main continent must have been selected, and the priority must be crops with economic value.
Whether it is wheat as the staple food, or the fruit tree at this moment, the most coincidental thing for Livi is that this tree is an apple tree.
"Apples?"
According to legend, the Serpent of Eden tempted the Son of God to eat the Fruit of Wisdom, which is said to be the prototype of the Apple.
At this moment, Livi used the incarnation of the Serpent of Eden to catalyze a fruit tree, which happened to be an apple tree.
It was probably a coincidence, but Livi was really curious about what this apple, created by her magic, would look like.
Since it can bloom, there is a probability that it can bear fruit. Once it is confirmed that it can bear fruit, it is equivalent to breaking the curse of the Demon Realm so far!
"It will definitely change, whether it's the Demon Realm... or the main continent!"
Chapter 141: The Three Pillars Ministers Visit
The hatred between humans and demons has been an almost unsolvable deadlock until now.
No, actually it cannot be said that there is no solution at all. As mentioned before, as long as either side dies and becomes an endangered species, then there is an imperfect solution to the problem.
After all, if we can't solve the problem, we can solve the people who raise the problem.
But if we really want to solve the problem, it is not completely unsolvable. The first thing is to deal with the core of the conflict.
The most critical issue is the competition for survival resources. This is a zero-sum game where you have and I don't. After all, if the resources are only enough for five people to survive, but there are ten people on the scene, then this is an unsolvable dead end, and five people will inevitably starve to death before the problem can be resolved.
But if there is a way to expand the survival resources to ten people, then everyone can survive.
Therefore, the correct way to solve the problem is to turn the Demon Realm into a land suitable for survival.
Of course, this is too troublesome, but if we can complete the land transformation in the Demon Realm and use it to feed the demons, we can definitely use this experience to improve the productivity of human society.
After all, the problem that humans are facing now is that productivity limits development.
These two problems can essentially be solved together, and now Livi has finally seen a little bit of possibility.
This trend has just emerged, and it is impossible to say how it will develop in the future, nor is it possible to say whether there will really be a solution.
In other words, the two troubles facing Livi are to deal with the cannibalistic system left by the empire, and then to liberate productivity and, on this basis, to implement a new system that will allow everyone to live a good life.
There is no doubt that any of these two problems is very troublesome. Fortunately, we are now more or less moving towards our goal. Although there may still be a long way to go, someone has to do it...
If no one makes an effort, can we expect change to happen on its own?
Therefore, the troops are now divided into two groups. Livi will deal with the problems of the empire, and Star will stay to do the research. Of course, relying solely on Star is definitely not enough. Livi will definitely have to find a way to get more technical personnel here later.
After deciding what to do next, the next step is naturally to wait for Mava and Aenekos to finish their arrangements.
All Livi can do now is to wait. Of course, she also has another thing to study, which is the mark of the Demon King on Equio's body.
After the seal was changed into that of the Fire Thief, Equio had been used as firewood for so long, and his magic power was now continuously being drained away to be provided to the Demon King's City for reserve use. His contribution would also be indispensable in completing the portal later.
Although she had been using the magic power extracted from him, Livi still hadn't found a way to transfer the Demon King's Mark, and her research on the Demon King's Mark and the Stigmata remained at the same level as before.
Livi herself also tried to gradually release the power of the imprint and try to guide out the true power in it, but the progress was still slow.
The main reason was that Livi didn't dare to let go and take a gamble, completely releasing the restrictions of the outer layer of divine arts and releasing all the power of the internal stigmata in one breath. God knew what was inside and whether releasing all of it would lead to some unpredictable consequences.
Even Equio and Livi didn't dare to let him go completely. What if he did let go and a big guy who couldn't be defeated was released? Wouldn't that make him a big idiot?
This kind of shit has been seen at least 8,000 times in various works, and Livi herself would certainly not do such a stupid thing.
Also, regarding the bones that were dug out in the East Territory before, Livi had thought about whether she should go to the East Territory again to see if she could find more clues, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
After all, the East Territory is too big, and it’s unknown how long it will take to go around it in a circle, not to mention digging things from below.
This is a huge project and cannot be completed in a short period of time.
Livi currently does not have enough manpower, and speaking of the problem of insufficient manpower, Livi is thinking about how to face her former acquaintances after arriving at the main continent.
There is no need to talk about the Empire, as long as they take action, the matter will be settled. The key is Jessica's news, which made Livi realize that many of her former partners may still be active.
So how do we face these people?
Especially when she thought about how to face Jessica, Livi felt a headache. If she became like this, and then told that she was Levi, would she believe it?
Oh, it’s not a big problem whether to believe it or not. After all, Livi knows a lot of secrets that only she knows, which is enough to add some persuasiveness to her words.
But even if Jessica really believed it, how she was going to get along with her in this state was a real headache for Livi.
She was confident that in Jessica's heart, she should be a very reliable big brother. But when she turned around, hey, the big brother turned into a loli. Are you surprised?
Anyway, the happy part is yet to be determined, but the shocking part is definitely enough, which made Livi not know what to do. She even had the self-destructive idea of simply not recognizing each other.
Of course, this is indeed a form of self-abandonment. Livi must still reunite with her former partners. After all, these partners are a force that cannot be underestimated. Moreover, through them, she may be able to contact the resistance forces in the five kingdoms that are dissatisfied with the empire.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Livi must be present at the scene. After all, it is impossible for Mava and Aenekos to convince the other party that they are their own people. Their own little inferior demon was almost sliced as sashimi by the opponent. If they had not escaped quickly, they would have been wiped out in minutes if they had rushed forward.
Livi felt a headache when she thought about such a mistake, but she couldn't say anything because it was impossible to blame Jessica for such a thing. It was understandable that she would have any extreme reaction when she saw the demons.
"Well, then it depends on how the Empire will act..."
The empire was naturally not idle either. As soon as the news was received, General Lei An, who was known as one of the three pillars of the empire and was called "Six Lights", had already set off.
Of course, he couldn't go out alone, so he also brought his troops known as the "Six Lights". As some of the most elite troops in the empire, they were certainly not comparable to the previous border fortress garrisons of the Abyss Kingdom.
In short, if Aenekos and Mava collided head-on at this moment, they would definitely be taken away in one wave.
Just when the atmosphere was brewing, Lei An and his six lights came to the territory of the Kingdom of Abyss...
Chapter 142 The Political Correctness of the Empire
The empire has a permanent troop strength of about 300,000. However, the so-called elite troops, that is, the special forces directly commanded by the Three Pillar Ministers, naturally do not have such an exaggerated number.
The Liuguang Army led by Lei An has a full strength of only three thousand people. Of course, under normal circumstances, three thousand people can never be described as "only", but it is the result obtained after comparing with the total military strength of the empire.
This elite force called the Six Lights was unusual in appearance alone. Although they were clearly an "elite force", each of them wore bright yellow cloth armor with densely packed runes painted on the armor, covering it in three layers inside and outside.
On their heads, there were curtains covering their faces, and on that curtain was painted a lifelike single eye with bright red strokes.
For such an army of 3,000 people, every step they took on the road seemed to be measured with precision, and every step seemed to maintain an absolute distance. The entire army was unusually quiet, as if they could not even feel the breath, just like 3,000 unconscious clay dolls.
However, from this strange team, one could feel a terrifying oppressive force that made it difficult for people to breathe. When Lei An led the Six Lights to set foot in the Kingdom of Abyss, the diplomatic envoys who were responsible for the reception were immediately stunned by the scene.
Anyone who can serve as a diplomatic envoy must have seen the world, and his character and courage must be far superior to ordinary people. Otherwise, how could he be responsible for the communication between the two countries?
Moreover, this diplomatic work is not facing the other four equal countries, but the empire as the suzerain state.
Faced with the envoys from the empire, who would never leave the empire easily and were known as the Three Pillars of the Empire, the Abyss Kingdom must have sent out the person with the strongest psychological quality.
Even such a talented person who was picked from thousands of people felt his scalp tingling and his mouth bitter when facing Lei An and his Six Lights. He felt that the team of 3,000 people did not look like an army at all.
It is more like some kind of ferocious and vicious beast that is connected as one, a completely integrated whole.
(Battle formation?)
As a diplomatic envoy of the Kingdom of Abyss, he naturally knew a lot of things at this level. Of course, he also understood that this must be the power of the battle formation. After all, the empire also generously taught the training methods of the battle formation to the five kingdoms.
However, it is certain that the battle formation training method taught by the Empire to the five kingdoms must be different from the training method mastered by the Empire itself. In short, it must be a degraded version.
But this is understandable. After all, if the positions were reversed, King Abyss believed that he would never give up his most powerful trick.
On the other hand, the prerequisite for a battle formation to exert its power is "coordination". When every individual in the army no longer acts as an "individual" but transforms itself into an integrated whole, the battle formation can exert its greatest effect.
But under normal circumstances, the battle formation will only be activated after entering the battlefield. As for this scene at this moment, could it be that... the Six Lights of the Empire are able to keep the battle formation connected even in daily life, and have achieved the maximum efficiency of the battle formation anytime and anywhere?
If one can maintain a consistent pace at a specific time through training, then what kind of rigorous training would be required to completely erase the characteristics of the "individual" and form a complete whole if one wants to be completely consistent even in daily life?
The diplomatic envoy's throat couldn't help but move. After swallowing, he turned his gaze to the man.
The man standing two meters away, like an iron tower...
As a diplomatic envoy, personal image is of course very important. After all, he represents the face of a country, and it is definitely not acceptable to look too ugly.
Likewise, his height and figure were also one in a million, but even so, with his outstanding physique, he looked like a child when standing in front of the other person.
The man was not only tall but also strong. His shoulders were so broad that they seemed to be able to fit five heads of ordinary adults. His neck was almost invisible because of his strong structure. His face was square, and some kind of facial patterns were painted with bright red oil paint, making his face look like some kind of mask.
The overall feeling given by the person is that the four words "Awe without anger" are tattooed on the face...
He was only wearing half armor, and his back was equipped with a row of weapons like a peacock spreading its tail. He looked like an old general on the stage, with his back full of flags.
"Mr. Lei An..."
The diplomatic envoy bowed silently, and the other party looked at him sideways and nodded indifferently.
"...Where was the scum of the demon clan finally found?"
Lei An spoke, his voice was as low as thunder, and people's heartbeats unconsciously began to accelerate. The diplomatic envoy did not dare to be negligent and spoke quickly and carefully.
"It's in the border town of Jiamelica, and there's a border fortress next to it..."
"So, where was the last place where the remnants of the rebels were found?"
"Uh, it's also the border town of Jiamelika..."
"..." Lei An was silent for a few seconds, then his sharp eyes turned, "...It's just a small border town. It was invaded by the demons and then visited by the remnants of the anti-gods. How come the town is intact?"
"Yes, it is……"
"…Why wasn't this obvious abnormality dealt with?"
"what?"
The diplomatic envoy couldn't help but look up, probably because he didn't quite understand what the other party meant by "deal with it".
No, or rather, he actually understood it, but just found it hard to accept.
"You, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the people in this town are either colluding with the demons or the remnants of the rebels. Otherwise, why would there be such a result? Do you mean that the demons have changed their nature, or the remnants of the rebels have changed their nature?"
"..."
According to the Empire's propaganda, the demons are an unforgivable evil, and the rebels are a group of thugs who attempt to rebel against the Empire.
This fact was characterized by the emperor himself, so it doesn’t matter what the so-called “truth” is. The emperor’s characterization is “absolutely correct”. If there is a conflict between the emperor’s order and objective facts, then the objective facts are wrong!
This is the absolute "political correctness" of the empire, and Lei An, as one of the three pillars of the government, is the executor of this political correctness.
So, his meaning is very clear...
“…Why don’t we quickly take control of this town and conduct a thorough interrogation? Whether it’s about the demons or the remnants of the rebels, we must get to the bottom of it!”
