Chapter 402: Change and Counterattack
Alice rushed back to the Demon King City overnight, intending to report to the Demon King.
However, when Alice walked into the Demon King's office, she immediately felt the magic in the air. It was the power of the Demon King, and the chaotic magic that spread from the Demon King wafted into the air, filling the room with an alluring smell - for the Demon Race, the fragrance of this magic power was simply more enticing than the most mellow wine.
The moment she smelled the fragrance of this magical power, Alice fell into a craving!
It was an indescribable feeling, as if every cell was thirsting, like a hungry beast in the desert seeing an oasis.
"My lord~" Alice's hand slipped the papers, and her eyes were confused as she walked towards Green.
Looking at Alice's abnormal expression, a trace of vigilance appeared on Green's face: "Stop!" ”
Without hesitation, Green used the Demon King's authority and forcibly ordered Alice to stand in place and unable to move.
"My lord~" Alice shuddered. Although she was unable to move due to the suppression of the Demon King, Alice's eyes were unusually hot when she looked at Green.
"What's wrong with you?" Green looked at the woman in front of him with some confusion.
"My lord~" Alice completely lost her mind, looked at Green with confused eyes, and did not answer Green's question at all.
Green picked up a small magic crystal from a drawer and threw it into his mouth. While the chaos magic power had not completely dissipated, he activated his ability and conducted an appraisal of Alice.
Soon, Green understood Alice's situation.
————
Upgrades: Strengthen the connection between the Demon King and the world.
————
Originally, Green didn't take the effect of this upgrade seriously, and even had a feeling of being deceived. When I upgraded for the first time, I gave myself a "Demon King's Heart", and the second upgrade was good, but the consumption was terrible, but I didn't give any ability, which is just fraud!
But in fact, this effect is not mainly reflected in Grimm himself, but more in all the Demon King's dependents.
Among the demons, men become women, and women become beautiful. But not only that, in addition to the changes in appearance, the demons' physiology also seems to have undergone some subtle changes - such as becoming more prone to estrus.
Well, this statement seems to be very ambiguous. To be precise, the females in the demon race seem to have become very hungry for chaos magic, and once they feel the chaos magic, they will fall into a state similar to estrus.
Green's Chaos Magic didn't fall from the sky, and under normal circumstances, there would naturally be no "Chaos Magic Leakage", so Green didn't notice this at first. Until Green ate some mana crystals to replenish his mana......
Losing his heart, Green was unable to store Chaos Magic, and only a small part of what he ate could be converted into energy to repair his body, and most of the Chaos Magic was directly floating into the air, so that the study was filled with the fragrance of Chaos Magic. For the demons, the fragrance of this magic is an irresistible temptation!
Now that you know the reason, it's easy to do.
After opening the window and waiting for the chaos magic in the room to dissipate, Alice slowly regained her senses.
"My lord, I was just ......," a look of confusion appeared on Alice's face.
"It's just some sequelae, don't worry about it." Green looked calm, "I've read the report you handed in, and you've done a good job." ”
"Thank you, Lord Demon, for the compliment." Alice stopped dwelling on what had just happened and focused on the present.
"So do you have any suggestions for the next war?" Green asked, "I've seen the war plan you made earlier. By provoking the kingdom's internal strife, the kingdom's power is constantly consumed, making it impossible for the kingdom to concentrate on waging a war against the demons. It's a good plan, but it can only protect itself, and there is no way to truly defeat or even destroy the kingdom. ”
"This is the report I wrote about the current situation in the kingdom." Alice picked up the papers that had fallen on the ground and handed them to Green.
Green took the report from Alice and flipped through it.
Soon, Green finished reading the report that Alice handed over.
"Hmm...... Much more detailed than the previous report. To put it simply, the kingdom has been completely mired in infighting. When there is a lot of pressure from the outside world, it will barely unite, but once the external pressure is relieved, it will fall into a dog-eat-dog state again. At the same time, there are some minor nobles who are indeed willing to take refuge in us. "It's just that most of them come with some strings attached." ”
"Yes." Alice nodded, "At present, the occupied areas of both sides have basically returned to their pre-war state. Bounded by the Great Wall of Rui Aidi, the south belongs to the kingdom and the north belongs to us. However, unlike before, the Kingdom has now focused on strengthening the port protection at both ends of the Great Wall, and it is difficult for us to use Dragon Turtle Island to attack the hinterland of the Kingdom from the sea at both ends of the Great Wall. However, in terms of navy, we still have a great advantage, which allows our navy to attack and harass the coastal areas of the kingdom from any position, and can also make private contacts with the local nobles of the kingdom. ”
"Hmm...... So what's your opinion? Officially accept the refuge of these nobles? ”
"This is the fastest way to destroy the kingdom." Alice paused, "You weren't here before, so I didn't dare to agree to their conditions easily, so I could only delay." But now that you're back, Lord Demon, it's a different story. Because once those nobles become demons, they will no longer be able to resist your orders from the Demon King! When the time comes, no matter what promises are made, it will be meaningless. ”
"Hmm...... How to do it, write a report and hand it in. ”
"This is a war plan that I reformulated after learning that you have returned, Lord Demon." Alice submitted another document directly.
"Huh~" Green raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's quite efficient." ”
Green took the document from Alice and flipped through it.
In this document, there is a list of many nobles, with their territories and influences written on them. Once all the nobles on this form become demons, then the kingdom will basically fall apart.
Alice: "The table above is for the low-ranking nobles who are willing to come to the royal city to meet them. If you wish, my lordship, I can arrange for them to be sent to the royal city at any time to meet them. The latter ones are the more powerful nobles, and we are only in a cooperative relationship, if you want to convert them into demons, you may need to go there yourself. ”
"What a beautiful draw!" Green sighed, "Let's deal with these nobles who are willing to come to the royal city to meet first." When I'm better, we'll deal with the wallgrass. ”
"Okay, my lord, I'll arrange for people as soon as I get back."
"Hmm~"
Alice hesitated for a moment: "My lord, there is one more thing. ”
"Say."
"Aren't there a group of male demons under my command?"
"Oh, I heard." Green had a subtle look on his face, "All of them have become women, right?" ”
"Yes. They want to be able to get the boy back up. ”
"Well......," Green hesitated for a moment, "as you wrote in your report, wait until the war is over and when you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." ”
Hearing Green's words, Alice finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, my lord! ”
