The content of the information brought back by Sun Xiaoyu and the others is too bizarre, if everyone didn't understand Sun Xiaoyu's character and knew that she wouldn't joke about such things again, this news would really be regarded as a prank by them.

However, the news that the members of the Templar organization were actually alchemical creatures still caused enough shock to the traversers. But what kind of secret is in it, it is destined to be unanswered. The Templars have been in the eyes of the world for more than a hundred years, and it is not that no one has tried to find out their origins during this period, but the other party has never been active in other time periods and borders except for the borderless lands that appeared between the borders of various countries in the year of Darkness. Therefore, for so many years, the natives of the world of Yber did not know anything about the details of the Templar.

This is where the traversers are more entangled, although they found that the armed forces under the command of the Templar are all a group of alchemical creatures and weapons, but this news cannot be shared with the outside world, and they cannot be verified by the Templar. Because you can't always take the initiative to come to the door and ask each other, 'Hey, why do you have alchemical biological weapons?' What the? How do we know? Of course it's because we have it too, right?

Therefore, how to solve the mystery can only wait for further contact with this templar organization in the future, and then try to find out.

Let's talk about this Templar in the world of Iber, which can be called the head of the dragon without seeing the end - although the world knows nothing about the details of the Templar and is even more afraid of the huge armed force it possesses, but what can reassure the various forces is that this Templar organization seems to care about anything other than defending against the demon invasion, and almost never interferes with the change of power in the human world (directly speaking, the war between human countries).

The reason why I say "almost" is because if any of the unsightly forces launched an act of war against other forces during the Demon War, they would be bloodily suppressed by the Templar Organization, and this is a bloody precedent - it is said that during the Fourth Demon War against the Demon Invasion, a certain principality in the northwest of the continent took advantage of the fact that the neighboring principalities sent elite troops to participate in the Demon War, and took advantage of the fact that they launched a war against them, and captured the entire territory of the country. However, when the War of the Demons ended, the Templar did not go into hiding again, but returned with the expeditionary force of the destroyed principalities, helping the destroyed principalities to regain the lost territory and successfully restore the country, not to mention the country that had robbed its neighbors during the War of the Demons.

Since then, the nations of humanity have known that while the Templars do not interfere in the conflict between humans, such a thing must not happen during the War of the Demons. So far, large-scale full-scale wars between human countries have rarely broken out, and most of the disputes between them have begun to be resolved by non-violent means such as negotiation and discussion.

This matter was also inadvertently learned by Sun Xiaoyu and the others when they heard those insiders talk about the Templar, but it was also this news that made the travelers understand why the Bilgard family chose to fight with the Leopold family for territory when the year of Darkness was approaching.

Obviously, the other party's wishful thinking is to use this window of time to bite a piece of meat on the Leopolds, and then ask the Doge to mediate without waiting for the Leopolds to fight back (which explains why the Doge's mediator appears so quickly as soon as the battle between the two sides ends). At that time, because the year of darkness was approaching, the demon invasion was coming, in order to avoid conflicts during that period, the governor of the county on behalf of the royal family would definitely come forward to mediate a truce between the two sides, and then the Leopold family would not be able to regain the territory occupied by the Bilgard family as soon as possible, but if the war of the demons ended, at least more than a year had passed, and the Bilgard family could use this time to digest and absorb the occupied territory and consolidate its rule, When the time comes, it will be very troublesome for the Leopold family to regain the lost territory - this is also one of the most common patterns of wars between countries and between lords after the war of the demons.

If it weren't for the appearance of the cross-cutting crowd, which made the Leopold family get unexpected 'foreign aid', this wishful thinking of the Bilgaard family might really be able to start.

But on the other hand, this unwritten rule also saved the life of the Bilgard family, otherwise the Bilgard family, which had lost most of its armed forces because of stealing chickens and rice, would have been wiped out by the Leopold family's counterattack.

Three days later, the forces of the human coalition dispersed and began to deploy on various paths leading into the mountains.

"Why are we stationed here?" Li Xiang watched as the sergeants around him built parapets, set up barricades, erected arrow towers, dug traps, and assembled trebuchets as he asked a knight of the Rogge Knights who was traveling with him.

The knight looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered: "It is said that this time the Earl's luck is not very good, and the various units of the expeditionary force have drawn lots to allocate defense areas to this position. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and come up. ”

The combined number of troops of the Human Kingdom Expeditionary Force participating in the Battle of the Demons this time exceeded 1.5 million. Among them, the number of troops sent by the four kingdoms is basically more than 200,000 people, and the number of troops sent by the other 20 or so principalities varies - the majority is close to 100,000, and the number of widows is more than 10,000.

Of course, with such a large number of troops, coupled with the fact that they come from all over the world and have their own subordinates, how to coordinate and coordinate is naturally a very complicated problem.

Although in the previous wars against demons, the Templar organization certainly did not allow it to be the main force to resist the invasion of demons, but this does not mean that the human alliance has nothing to do. Their main task is to cooperate with the Templars in the battle to pinnate, hinder or annihilate the non-main forces of the demons. However, although it is said to be a 'non-main force', its actual strength is not water at all. By inquiring with insiders who participated in the previous Demon Fighting Battles, I learned that the so-called 'non-main force' in the demon army refers to "a team with no more than 10,000 demons above the middle level", and the number of demons with inferior blood is uncertain. Therefore, it is often encountered that there are only one hundred and eighty middle-class and upper-grade demons in the non-main forces of the demon race, but they control the situation of low-level demons ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands. Fortunately, the inferior demons are also frightening, and their individual strength is much worse than that of ordinary human soldiers, even the smallest principality force in the human alliance can win against such a demon division ten times their number - of course, casualties are inevitable.
