Chapter 373: Helpless
Although he was despised by Roger, after listening to Roger's words, the demon god Mephistopheles quickly understood Roger's subtext: the coalition forces actually didn't have much hope for solidifying all the gates of hell!
This is a frustrating fact.
The heroes and generals of the major forces, including the Holy Maiden Sarana, all agreed with Roger's idea and really came to hell to solidify the gates of hell. In reality, however, there is no perception that this action will be very fruitful.
After all, in the beginning, the coalition might be able to easily solidify one or two hell gates. But as the Gates of Hell are solidified more and more, the Demon Gods and Demon Lords will inevitably gradually pay attention to the Gates of Hell, and it will become more and more difficult for the coalition to solidify the Gates of Hell.
In addition, the Demon Gods and Demon Lords may also try to destroy the gates of hell that have been solidified, so the members of the Dragon Knights, including the Holy Maiden Sarana, are not very optimistic about the prospects of this operation.
If you can't solidify the six hell gates, or all seven hell gates, then the action of the coalition to solidify the hell gates can actually only make the route of the demon invasion easier to judge, after all, the number of hell gates that can make the demon invasion on a large scale become smaller.
Although this has a certain effect on preventing the invasion of demons, the effect is actually not great, and it can only be said that it is better than nothing.
According to the estimation of Roger and others, the coalition forces will be able to solidify three or four hell gates at most. At that time, the remaining Gates of Hell will definitely become extremely tightly guarded, and the success rate of coalition operations will become very low.
That's why Roger wants to fight for the right to speak, so that the hell gate in the elven realm can be solidified in the third position.
However, although the risk of solidifying the gates of hell is quite high, if you can solidify the gates of hell that directly lead to the arrival of demons, the territory where the solidified gates of hell are located can not only turn the danger into safety, but also produce a steady stream of various precious magical materials from hell.
Compared with this benefit, although the risk of solidifying the gates of hell is great, it is still bearable for the major forces.
Therefore, although the major forces behind the coalition did not have much confidence in this action of the coalition army, they still gave all kinds of support, so that the coalition army could successfully counterattack to hell.
As it turned out, the spellcasters, including Ian Archmagister of the Tower of the Nine Rings, underestimated the difficulty of solidifying the gates of hell. If it weren't for the intervention of the demon god Mephistopheles, it is really difficult to say whether the coalition would have succeeded in solidifying the gates of hell.
Of course, with this experience, the coalition forces will definitely be much more sure of the solidification of the next hell gate.
Even so, the coalition's solidification of the gates of hell can only be described as "doing their best". If they really encounter an enemy that the coalition can't resist, such as a strong enemy like the demon god Mephistopheles, the coalition will definitely give up the operation quite simply.
In other words, the coalition's attitude towards solidifying the gates of hell is: if it can be solidified, it will be solidified, and if it can't, it will be just abandoned.
This made Mephistopheles, the demon god who understood it, suddenly anxious.
Compared with the dispensability of the coalition forces for the action of "solidifying the gates of hell", Mephistopheles, the demon god who wants to obtain the qualification to invade the continent of Elia again, must let the coalition successfully solidify more hell gates.
In this way, the positions of the two sides are reversed. Mephistopheles, the demon god, originally thought that "the coalition needs it to help solidify the gates of hell" to "it needs the coalition forces to continue to work hard to solidify the gates of hell".
If the Demon God Mephistopheles still has a strength advantage over the coalition forces, then even if its position is reversed, it can still rely on force to force a contract with the upper echelons of the coalition forces.
But now, the demon god Mephistopheles has become Roger's prisoner, and this change of position is a big deal for the demon god Mephistopheles.
Barely thinking about it, the demon god Mephistopheles decisively confessed.
Looking at the smiling Roger in front of him, the demon god Mephistopheles repeated his words again with a little resentment: "Say it! What more could you want! As long as I have it, I will definitely give it! ”
Man is a sword, I am a fish and meat, and Mephistopheles, the demon god who has recognized reality, has given up the idea of resisting.
"Excellent! That's what it is! The smiling Roger immediately beckoned to the Holy Maiden Sarana and the others, "Everyone! Come on! Tell me what else you need! ”
Although the various collections in the castle of the demon god Mephistopheles are quite rich and precious. However, in many cases, magic materials and the like are not always as precious as possible.
For example, the heart of the Demon Lord is indeed precious, but just purifying the demonic energy attached to it is enough to make the people of the Church of the Gods work hard. And although the demon heart after the demonic qi has been purified, it is still very valuable, but it is not cost-effective, and it is not widely used.
On the contrary, it is the heart of ordinary demons, because the amount of demonic energy attached is small, so sometimes it can be used directly without even coming to purify. Such materials are the most cost-effective and more versatile.
However, as a demon god, the collection in Mephistopheles' castle is unlikely to contain any "inferior" magical materials such as ordinary demon hearts, even if they are not all top-notch materials such as the heart of the demon lord.
Therefore, although the castle of the demon god Mephistopheles has been emptied, in fact, the heroic generals of the coalition army have not harvested many useful precious materials.
And now, Roger plans to ask Ian Archmage and others to make a list, and let the demon god Mephistopheles collect the "Hell Specialties" that everyone needs.
Hearing Roger's greeting, a group of heroic generals led by the Holy Maiden Sarana gathered. However, everyone showed a somewhat overly respectful attitude towards the current Roger.
No way, after all, Roger defeated the powerful demon god Mephistopheles alone in front of their eyes, and after such a shocking performance, Roger's status in the coalition army has naturally been improved to a considerable extent.
After all, in the martial continent of Elia, the most respected are the strong. And Roger, who was able to defeat the Demon God, was undoubtedly the top group of all the strong people, so it was not surprising that the attitude of the Holy Maiden Sarana and the others had changed.
However, as Roger's eldest brother, Prince Robin's attitude towards Roger has not changed much, and his face is more joyful.
When everyone was writing about the "hell specialty" that their forces needed, Roger also took out a roll of parchment to the demon god Mephistopheles with a smile, and then wrote on it for a while, and then showed it to the demon god Mephistopheles: "Now, how about taking a look at this contract?" ”
The demon god Mephistopheles glanced at the parchment in Roger's hand, and was stunned: "What the hell is this, this is ......" (to be continued.) )
