Chapter 49: The Search for a Lumber Yard
Mental dynamics, that is, the ability to intervene in the movement of material systems through the mind, theoretically, both in the macrocosm and in the microcosm, can be intervened by telekinetics.
Although the air is invisible, it is a substance that does exist, and although Roy has not yet reached the point of controlling the various molecules of the air with telekinesis, he can use telekinesis to envelop the air in an area and then compress it, which is the principle of the air shield.
With such a buffer layer, there are many benefits to Roy in the melee, after all, he is now mainly hand-to-hand combat, and the number of frontal encounters is naturally more, when the enemy's attack is buffered even if it is buffered for 0.1 seconds, it can give Roy more reaction time.
Killing the enemy and sweeping away the scattered souls in the vicinity, Roy kept an eye on the situation on Serren's side as he fought.
Sure enough, Roy guessed it, this time he personally went down to participate in the battle, Serren was very excited, the demon's belligerence was vividly manifested in him, and the blood that kept splashing around made Seren's pair of demonic eyes turn red and terrifying, and he kept killing the enemy while still letting out a manic roar.
A soul floated out from the corpse of a Pegasus knight he killed next to him, Serren opened his mouth, and with a snort, he sucked the soul into his mouth, and the horror of Pegasus Knight's death in his soul turned into an incomparably wonderful taste lingering in Serren's mouth, making him gasp comfortably, and then pick up the scythe with both hands to harvest the enemy's life again.
Yes, as Roy had guessed, Serren was devouring the souls of the battlefield while killing enemies, in fact, it was not only a loophole in the demonic contract that prompted Serren to do so, but there was another reason, and that was the high-level demons that Ignatis was about to summon while remaining in Castlevania.
If you want to kill the Golden Dragon Queen, then Serren must have a high-level demon army as help, but summoning high-level demons also comes at a price, and the three of them must give up some of the souls they have obtained to these high-level demons, so the current situation is that Serren feels that his expected benefits have become less, so he plans to get it back on the battlefield by all means.
In fact, Serren now regrets a little, regretting that when he shouldn't have made a contract with Roy, he promised to give him the one percent dividend, at that time he thought that with a large number of low-level demons, he should be able to complete the task, so he felt that giving a little dividend would make Roy, an elite demon, use it for him, and it would be quite good, who knew that after Ignadis and they came, they actually brought the news of the existence of the Golden Dragon Queen.
In this way, compared to the other two high-ranking demons, Ryska and Ignadis, Serren is equivalent to having to share an extra share of the soul gain, and he will of course feel unhappy.
There is no doubt that he has to make up for the loss now, so naturally he has to make up for it on Roy's demon contract, so while he is fighting, he is desperately devouring his soul, and while the battle is not over, he can get one more.
However, what he didn't know was that Roy was not annoyed by watching him devour souls while fighting, but was a little happy.
Eat, eat, I don't believe that when you are desperately trying to reap the benefits, you can still remember how many souls you swallowed!
After all, the number of Pegasus knights is fixed, if they are all wiped out, then how many corpses there are, there should be as many souls, if only Roy is fishing for souls, then Serren can find out when he counts, but now Serren himself is also devouring, and when the battle is over, the number of corpses and the number of souls do not match, then he may not be able to detect it.
Now, Roy can safely take souls, he specially selects those places with more souls and runs over, while occasionally finding a Pegasus knight as an opponent, while still letting out angry roars and growls in his mouth, it seems to be fighting hard, but in fact it is just to collect nearby souls.
After collecting more than forty souls in succession, the battle on the battlefield was also coming to an end, and Roy stopped.
This Pegasus knight unit was almost slaughtered, since they did not choose to escape, then the demons naturally did not show mercy, more than 200 Pegasus knights, and finally all died here.
However, although they were all killed, they also caused a lot of losses to Seren's demon army, Pegasus Knight is also a mid-level soldier in the elven army, and the lethality is still quite strong, Serrin's demon army was killed in this attack, hundreds of little demons were killed, and more than a dozen Cerberus were killed.
But the biggest loss is still the siege equipment, the ten catapults that Serren brought this time were half smashed alive by the Pegasus knights, and three bed crossbows were also lost, so that after the battle, Serren looked at the scattered parts of these damaged siege equipment, and his anger couldn't stop rising.
He knew that his march would be delayed......
When the little demons collected all the souls floating on the battlefield and presented them to Serren, although Serren felt as if it was less, he really didn't care much, he really didn't count how many souls he had swallowed before.
In addition, because he felt that no one would be so bold as to dare to steal and devour the soul that belonged to him Sellen......
As a high-ranking demon, Serren was too confident, how would he know that not only did someone dare to steal his soul, but also the soul that was snatched was not one or two, but more than forty!
There are more than two hundred Pegasus knights, and in the end, there are only more than one hundred and sixty souls in the hands of Serren, and Serren has to divide about sixteen souls and reward them to Roy, which comes and goes, which means that there are more than fifty souls in Roy's hands in the end!
And this is just a skirmish, if the scale of the war is larger, Roy estimates that he can get more souls.
Taking the sixteen souls that Serren reluctantly handed over, Roy pretended to be greedy and stuffed them all into his mouth to devour, but in fact he used the system's storage function to save them first.
And after "eating", Roy still had a satisfied expression on his face, and said to Serren: "Thank you for your generosity, Lord Serren!" Your violence and bravery are a role model for the demons! ”
Being slapped by Roy, Serren finally felt better, this kind of words, in the mouths of other low-level demons, would never appear, so he laughed and said: "Okay, now I'll give you a mission, you also saw that these damn Aveli elves' reconnaissance troops destroyed our catapults, now we have to fix them, and then I will take the troops to stop here temporarily, you bring a little manpower to search around, see if there is a elven lumberyard, Go get some lumber back and fix these catapults! ”
"Yes, Serren-sama!" Roy bowed his head slightly, indicating that he had taken the order, and only after facing Serren to withdraw a little distance did he turn and leave to gather his men.
For the trivial matters of repairing siege equipment, Serren is actually very impatient, in the past, he could only do this kind of trivial matters himself, but now that there is such a smart demon as Roy, Serren is naturally lazy if he can be lazy.
Roy took the Fat Tiger, a dozen or so Cerberus and more than twenty little demons, and left the camp to find the lumberyard.
Selren was lazy to let him out to act, this was supposed to be a good opportunity to escape, but Roy didn't plan to do it, now that the demons have invaded the border of the Kingdom of Erathia, the humans and their allies have entered a state of war, at this time, what if they escape, and one accidentally encounters the army? A lone demon will only have one fate in front of a large number of enemies.
Moreover, in order to reverse activate the summoning array and go back, Roy must also have a large amount of mana, and his first task now is to mix in the demon army first and accumulate a sufficient number of souls to strengthen his own magic power.
Although he didn't plan to escape, this time he led the team out alone to find the lumber site, which was also a very good opportunity for Roy.
A very good, pit man's chance......
