The Great Expedition is the first large-scale, long-distance expedition of mankind with the goal of the Old King.

However, as early as a hundred years ago, the 'expedition' was already going on with the main purpose of obtaining information about alien demons, seizing the secret treasures of chaos, and the tablet of alien demons.

The Knights have also launched several attacks on "title deed realms".

But......

He had never met the "messenger" of the Alien Cube, and even asked to negotiate with the human side before the war.

Squeak squeak ~ rat squeak

The messenger located at the bottom of the mountain in Perugia City mixed his spirit body into the sound of the flute by playing the bamboo flute, and then directly threw the spirit body into the Demon King's castle through the perception center of the "Expeditionary Eye".

The siege knights gathered in the hall all put on earplugs and goggles for the first time and quickly dispersed.

"Mature Body-Alien"

The aura emitted was a little weaker than that of the Scarlet Earl, but it was not less dangerous.

【World Rules】

Such an emissary must not be killed, and breaking the rules will most likely lead to the arrival of the "Old King...... The Holy City is not ready for a decisive battle with the "Old King".

The Grand Demon Master has summoned the 'Interpreter' from the Knights of the Secret Language.

Who knows.

As soon as the flute stopped, the messenger lifted his hood.

A 'handsome' human face is revealed, with a group of black abstract rat portraits carved on the face.

With one hand on the flute on his chest,

The left foot rests behind the right foot,

Bow ceremoniously to the Great Demon Master on the throne,

Immediately after, what came out of the mouth of the messenger turned out to be quite standard Italian:

"I'm [Truman. Zorro] On behalf of the lord, welcome to you.

I know that you have come to Perugia with the idea of 'besieging the city'.

We are also willing to accept reasonable siege battles.

But...... Before signing the siege, I have a better proposal here.

I wonder if this powerful human general would like to hear it? ”

Form, speech, mannerisms.

The characteristics conveyed from this demon are almost indistinguishable from those of 'humans'.

Most of the knights present also showed surprised expressions, this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

In the minds of most knights, the Aliens regarded humans as an inferior race, disdainful of learning human language, and disdaining to preserve human culture.

"Tell me about your proposal."

"During this time, an annual art festival is being held in the center of the city of Perugia.

He has a strong interest in human art and culture, and has always wanted to have in-depth academic discussions with human beings with artistic knowledge.

If there are some of you here who are highly accomplished in the 'arts', please follow me to the heart of the city, and the lord will entertain you in the highest order.

If he can satisfy the lord's demand for art, he is willing to make some concessions on the signing of the "Siege Campaign". ”

With that, Zorro took out a piece of parchment with the rat's seal from between his coat pockets.

The Alien Script, written on parchment, clearly states:

As long as the expeditionary force is willing to send humans with artistic knowledge to participate in the art festival in Perugia, the human side is allowed to add an additional 'general rule' when signing the "Siege Battle Book" in the future.

And.

The festival organizers will ensure the safety of human participants.

On the face of it, such a proposal is acceptable.

It can not only improve the chances of winning the "siege battle", but also allow a group of personnel to enter the city of Perugia in advance to obtain information about the city's interior.

When I heard this.

The earl in Han Dong's body had already begun his crazy words.

"Exactly the same routine!

When Count Ben went to Perugia, they said something similar.

Don't promise that these guys will use all kinds of artwork to sow madness in your brains...... Count Ben can't withstand the spiritual invasion, and not many of you knights can resist it. ”

"Don't get excited...... I think the festival is pretty good. ”

When Han Dong heard the content of the agreement on the parchment, he immediately became interested.

If the rules of the world exist.

Then, this group of demons will also follow the rules to do things, as long as they can ensure that the participants do not die, Han Dong can also participate boldly with confidence.

"Don't ...... Don't! Didn't you say that you want to be a salted fish in siege warfare? Count Ben did not want to go alone to the madman's castle again. ”

"Don't panic, even if you really want to go, it's not you alone, Earl, but also me and Brother Demps.

Let's take a look at what the Great Demon Leader means.

If the Great Demon Leader refuses this proposal and goes to war directly, it will be fine...... I really just want to be a salted fish. ”

……

Just as the Grand Demon Leader examined the parchment in his hand.

The messenger Zorro continued:

"Please think about it, I will be waiting for you at the bottom of the hill in the city of Perugia.

If you refuse to participate in the festival and go straight to the siege, the lord will agree...... However, I hope you will cherish this opportunity.

It is really uncommon for a high-ranking existence like a lord to respect humans.

It may also be able to provide you with 'information' for your subsequent journey. ”

Let's talk about it.

With the sound of an elegant flute, the spiritual entity of the messenger slowly dispersed.

"Such a cunning style is really in line with the image of a mouse...... In the name of art, they try to lure our people into their territory, and thoroughly corrupt the individual through the means of spiritual erosion.

Sowing influence on the minds of individuals, disrupting our legions from within, and at the same time obtaining internal intelligence about our army.

Even if they lose the siege war, they will only lose a "medium-sized land deed", but they will gain the information of the great expedition that we humans have prepared for hundreds of years.

Prepare to go straight to the siege...... Well? Temples, do you have anything to say? ”

Just then, Demps stepped forward:

"Leader of the Great Demon Leader, I think we can try to accept the other party's proposal...... If handled correctly, it will minimize casualties in siege warfare and will also allow for some critical intelligence. ”

If other knights said such things, they would be criticized by the Great Demon on the spot.

But Temples is different.

In the year since joining the Knights of Doom, Demps has been conducting secret training under the command of the Great Demon...... The Great Devil's trust in Demps is even comparable to that of his commanders.

"Oh, are you 100% sure that you won't be eroded by the spirit from the [atavistic body] when you go deep into the land deed realm?"

"I can't guarantee it...... But my friend can. ”

Speaking of which.

Demps smiled, reached out and patted Han Dong, who just wanted to be a salted fish.
