"The Demon Expeditionary Force is very dangerous! Their appearance means that the Demon King City is launching a war!" This is an important statement at the beginning of "Introduction to the Demonic Expeditionary Force", a statement from a human perspective.
Li has read the entire book and discovered that the Demon Expeditionary Army... is an important part of the existence of Demon King City on the continent of Kaios.
Monsters can be born in the Demon King's City, but on the other hand, there are still many resources and souls that need to be plundered - such as slave scholars in the library, prisoners in the vegetable fields, magic stones, monsters, magic materials... Therefore, the Demon Expeditionary Army is the claws used to plunder the Demon King's City, and the sharp blade used to attack the city - they come from the abyss, and their footprints are all over the cities, villages, and even the royal capital of Kaios continent!
Wherever they go, the Demonic Expeditionary Army will slaughter human warriors and plunder all "valuable" things.
Most of the plundered prisoners will die in the Demon King's City, and only a small number of nobles will become prisoners of war and be redeemed through the communication of some human negotiators - of course, this will cost a huge price... in terms of money.
The price, the price of blood, even the price of the entire family’s fall.
Therefore, the church strictly prohibits the nobles of the continent of Kaios from making peace and communicating with the Demon King City. Unfortunately, the Holy See cannot completely eliminate the product of chaos such as the Demon King City. Therefore, demon transactions are repeatedly prohibited and have become an inconvenient secret among the nobles.
However, plundering humans is only a small part of the evil deeds of the Demon Expeditionary Army - more often, the Demonic Expeditionary Army does not even spare the city and land, turning them into "fiefdoms" of the Demon King's City through black magic, and expanding the Demon King's City.
The scope of rule...
The fiefdom will not be directly absorbed into the Demon King's City. From the eyes of ordinary humans, it may even be the same as before. But whenever the passage from the Demon King's City to the outside world is opened, some connections will be created between the fiefdom and the Demon King's City, becoming the entrance and exit of the Demon King's City.
The entrance to the city has also become a huge mouth that swallows the souls of mortals.
Li Yue even suspected that... the small town of Death, Desler, had become one of the fiefdoms of Demon King City, assuming a similar role as a gate to the two realms.
Therefore...the Demon Expeditionary Army's expansion into the Demon King's territory is essentially a territorial dispute, but between humans and demons.
Li Yue thought silently, and then he had some questions - if the contradiction between humans and monsters is irreconcilable, then why has one side not eliminated the other for thousands or even tens of thousands of years?
No matter whether it is the Archmage, the Holy Knight, or the Demon King himself, have you never thought about ending this war completely?
Or is this situation... also the result of the push and pull between the two parties?
Some kind of tacit understanding?
Li Yue kept this doubt in his mind and continued reading - as a book written by the War Minister of the Tas Empire, "Introduction to the Demon Expeditionary Force" did not mention the brain spirit in any sentence. At best, it only mentioned the composition of the Demon Expeditionary Force.
Complex, covering a variety of monsters, and the types of monsters in the team will also change depending on the mission...
Then there is the response mechanism that the human army should adopt for the different characteristics of the demon expeditionary force, including encounters, annihilation battles, retreat rules, etc...
These are of little help to Li Yue at present. They only help him understand that in the long war between humans and the demon expeditionary force, due to the demons' powerful combat power and their elusive combat methods, the human army has always been at a disadvantage and had to
Seek help from the church.
However, this situation changed after humans mastered muskets and artillery. Until the demon counterattack in 237 Kaili and the demon annihilation war in 244 Kaili, the demon expeditionary force did not appear in large numbers for several years.
There hasn't been a large-scale battle for a long time.
However, "Introduction to the Demonic Expeditionary Force" was written in the year 265 of the Kaili calendar. Li Yue could not judge whether the war situation between the two sides had changed between 265 and the current year 299.
Taken together, the Demon Expeditionary Army is the main threat to mankind facing the Demon King's City, in addition to scattered monsters causing chaos. This has also given rise to humans who are constantly getting stronger in order to thirst for power.
It's just that there are still a small number of humans who can be called "brave". When facing the demon expeditionary force composed of high-level demons, high-level monsters and even quasi-demon king-level demons, it is difficult for them to play a decisive role.
The battle was over before the braves arrived on the battlefield.
On the contrary, a large number of artillery and a well-arranged musket array... can help them eliminate their disadvantages when facing the Demon Expeditionary Force - so the end of the book "Introduction to the Demonic Expeditionary Force", in addition to summarizing the expeditionary force's
After several core strategies, the most important thing is to call on the kingdom to vigorously develop arsenals and mechanical military industries, and strive to improve the bottom-level combat effectiveness of the army.
Of course, whether it was due to limited vision or a problem with the position of the buttocks, the Minister of War of the Tas Empire still emphasized the importance of the chivalry system. Emphasizing chivalry and strong individual combat power can often produce miraculous effects and open up the war situation.
Provide more possibilities.
What Li Yue didn't know was that the Minister of War was obsessed with demonology at the end of his career. In order to enhance the individual combat power of the soldiers, he used the captured blood of the Demon King's Expeditionary Force to carry out a series of demon soldier transformation plans...
But in the end, before he could see the plan take shape, he was burned to death by the Holy See in the holy city of Sindelami.
After reading two books, Li Yue's consciousness was a little tired, but at the same time he felt a bit of excitement from the instinct of his brain - maybe for the monsters, the Demon Expeditionary Army is the sharp blade of the Demon King's City, bringing back the loot.
God, then some pride is understandable.
Suppressing the last instinct of his body, Li Yue couldn't stop trying to find an answer in his mind. This answer only related to his future - the Demon Expeditionary Army... What does it have to do with the brain spirit of the library?
How will the mission assigned to the brain spirits by Budiberg affect the Demonic Expeditionary Force?
Will there be any accidents tomorrow? Can we develop safely?
Li Yue's thoughts were confused.
The red sand of time has already passed halfway, and now less than one-third is left. Li Yue closed the book and found that the library hall was quiet. The four corpses at the door had been taken away by the body collectors at some point. Li Yue closed the book and found that the library hall was quiet.
Yue didn’t even notice!
The Minnies have already fallen asleep, and a new day of work will arrive in a few hours.
The place beside the desk has already changed - the originally messy pile of books is now neatly arranged, like a fortress made of stacked books, which is the culmination of Minnie Minnie's hard work all night.
The two small sweet potato desks were used as beds, and their arms were used as quilts. They hugged each other and slept together. A series of drool dripped, which seemed to indicate some sweet dream.
Li Yue had an inexplicable urge to cover them with quilts.
Tsk, tsk, it’s time to play.
Li Yue made a slight movement in this room, and Minnie, who was pressed underneath, suddenly opened her eyes.
"Brother...why don't you take a rest? If you don't take a rest, you will be tired when you work tomorrow..." Minnie learned the importance of "rest" from the story of the female textile worker.
"Well, it's time to rest." Li Yue didn't bother to go back to the fifth library and was going to lie down on the desk and take a nap - anyway, Naoling is just a lonely brain, and there is no worry about whether to sleep lying down or sideways. As a result, the confused Minnie said something that completely made Li Yue sleepless tonight.
"Stop the noise and go to bed quickly..." Minnie pushed Minnie, "Brother only needs to translate here. After the translation is completed, maybe we will go to deliver books to the Demon Expeditionary Army and serve them..." "Yes... Expeditionary Force combat training... We are coming to the library again..." Minnie muttered, feeling a little depressed.
"Wait a minute." Li Yue was excited, "If you want to say that, then I won't be sleepy anymore..."
