Chapter 16: Annexation
When the 226th Regiment and the rest of the soldiers loyal to Achilles Moro left, there were still hundreds of demons in the square.
"Who else is leaving, you'd better make a choice sooner, and if you choose to stay, then I will definitely not tolerate betrayal. Shuzenar looked at the group of dwarf demons closest to him, these were Ganrga, low-ranking technicians who provided cheap services to the Legion.
"Allegiance to you, Captain, I'm the ship's Mechanic Captain Túrin, and a total of 37 Gangar Technicians provide you with maintenance and repair services for your ship. "These technicians are assigned to every ship by the Legion, and they are hard-working, and they are paid very little compared to their people named Morg.
"Come to me, Túrin, you know what to do. ”
The Ganger slowly walked up to Shuzenar and knelt down.
Shuzenar stretched out his hand, and he could feel that the creature's soul had no resistance in front of him. Shuzenar used a spell to plunder the one percent of this soul located in the core, and placed a means of control on his body, with this part of the soul in his hands, Shuzenar can hit this Ganergar's soul at any time, if he is willing to pay enough mana, Shuzenar can directly use a spell to curse this soul. But, there was no need, the soul was too fragile and had no intention of resisting Schüzenar.
"All the rest of the demons, come here. ”
The demons left here, the most are the demon guards, these warriors selected from the Morg group are physically selected at a young age, and the outstanding ones form a war group based on their hometown, and once they reach adulthood, they will serve the legion as soldiers, because they are easier to transform and reproduce, and they have become one of the important races that provide basic soldiers for the legion.
Two demon guards who were slightly stronger than ordinary demon guards, but couldn't reach the elite level, walked out.
"Lord Lord, we are the Demon Guardians from the Red Star Wave, we originally had 370 people, but we were partially affected by magic in the last battle, and more than a dozen warriors were picked up by the 225 warband, as you can see, we now have two squads, a total of 220 warriors, if you provide us with enough resources, we can call back the souls of our fallen comrades on the altar. ”
"Are you newbies, you look weak. "As the captain of the squad, these two demons don't even have the strength of an elite, and the other demon guards also look very weak, and they don't have much iron-blooded momentum.
"Yes, we only had the last battle, it was so tragic that we didn't even get much use out of it. We also feel our weakness - nevertheless, as long as you are willing to accept us, we will fight for you until the very end. ”
These two Demon Guardian Hundred-Man teams...... It's all defective products that have been picked up. At a glance, there is not a single character above the level, and the basic qualities of these demon guards are below the average of demon guards. Considering that it was close to free cannon fodder, Schüzenar still accepted the two demon guardian squads.
"Derek Red Hand, pledge your allegiance. We will strictly carry out your orders until the last moment of our existence. ”
"Kazakh Red Axe, allegiance to you. We will strictly carry out your orders until the last moment of our existence. ”
Demon Guardians knelt on one knee with their weapons in hand, and these demons fought for their honor. They are warriors by nature, and all they desire is to fight effectively and loyally to the Legion. Many times, the Demon Guardians were destroyed and forgotten before they could even leave their names. Only powerful demon guards are lucky enough to enter the resurrection sequence of the legion, and although the legion's resources are abundant, they will not be wasted. As cannon fodder, they are very qualified.
"As the captain, your strength is too weak. ”
"Yes, we understand. X2, the two Demon Guardian Leaders replied earnestly, their heads bowed.
"I'll allow you two to use the ship's resources to advance to the elite level, you calculate how many resources you'll need, and then come back to me. So—what about you? Silence from the beginning to now, there is nothing to say. ”
Shuzenar looked at the rest of the demons, excluding Ganrgar and the Demon Guardians, and there were only a few dozen demons left here who had not yet spoken.
They have a variety of forms, but the characteristics of demons are clearly visible from their appearance, their bodies smell of evil energy, most of them have demonic horns, and some have wings.
"What can you give us? Give us your price and we'll think about it." A tall, thin demon with a bow and arrows looked up at Shuzenar. It can be seen that he was once a race that resembles some kind of elf, and he still retains the body shape and face of his own race. Because the evolutionary trajectories of creatures in each world are generally different, the Burning Legion named those humanoid creatures with long ears after the word 'elf'.
His words were echoed by the other demons. Schüzenar discovers that these demons are transformed, or "degenerates" in the mouths of those who claim to be righteous. They were originally creatures that had nothing to do with evil powers, and were either used by someone for some purpose, or voluntarily or passively transformed into demons. The strength of these transformed demons is generally above that of ordinary demons, but it is not much exceeding, which is about equivalent to 1~3 demon guards. Compared to the demon races that have been ruled by the Legion for countless years, these transformed people do not have much loyalty, they seem to be very self-conscious, they almost live for themselves, and they join the Legion only for power.
Because of this, they became expendable to the legion. They have always been outside the main force of the Legion, and when the Legion and the hostile forces are locked in a war of attrition, these converted are released to perform a variety of missions in exchange for the Legion's rewards. The Legion uses them to consume the potential of the invaded world, and they are also using the Legion to strengthen themselves, and the two sides are trading fairly, and the children are not deceived.
"The price? "Shuzenar doesn't look down on the strength of these transformed, but the transformed have always been a very large group, and Shuzenar will use more of the power of the transformed in the future, so Shuzenar still has to deal with them. "I'll settle on a system for posting quests, and I'll send you quests when I need you, and the prize could be a Void Fragment or something else that will be useful to you. When there is no mission, you must stay where you are allowed to stay on this ship. If you add to the chaos without a mission, don't blame my men for being ruthless. ”
"Of course, my lord, we know the rules. ”
...... Now, Shuzenar has gathered the existing demons on this ship, but Ganerge is a technician who maintains the ship, and cannot be consumed as an ordinary soldier, the demon guardians are limited in strength and serve as cannon fodder, and those who fall are willing to give their all for the mission, but they can't be expected to be of a general role on the battlefield.
Schüzenar also needs some new blood. He set the ship to stable standby and picked up the key.
A portal slowly opened, and now, he had to return to the planet Nasresa to recruit some troops.
