The three of them found a narrow part of the road, which they thought was a good place, with steel plates on both sides. Salian and Lindemann lay in ambush on one side, and Sebastian, who had the strongest mind control, on the other.

The demons with strict military discipline really appeared at the specified time and place. They are tall, with dark red skin, broad upper bodies, and disproportionately thin legs, with calves as slender as the front legs of goats. The head has no hair, instead it is covered with irregular protrusions, and the eyes are the same as those of humans, and probably have similar visual abilities.

The demons wore standard steel cuirasses, and the rest of their bodies had no protection, which only protected their torsos from fatal injuries. The fact that Salian thought of giving such a minimal means of defense showed that their leaders didn't care much about the lives of their soldiers.

The leader of the Captain (his breastplate is wider on the side and has an extra blunt spike on it), wielding a long-pole weapon similar to a human's long-range magic gun, and a greatsword behind him, all three of whom are holding maces and towers and shields hanging diagonally from their backs. The solid arms and powerful armaments of these demons in the upper body are really disproportionate to the thin lower body.

Salian and Sebastian confirmed the tactics with a psychic sound. As the four demons walked through the narrow passage with their backs to them, the three suddenly leaped out of the ambush point, Lindemann controlled the two soldiers with divine imprisonment, Salian used the "Horror Burn" to restrain the other soldier, and Sebastian used the restrained horror secret technique against the captain.

Things went very well, but in a matter of seconds, the demons were all restrained without saying a word.

"Okay! Escort them back first! I think as long as they don't die, the other demons will think that these companions have just discovered something and are searching, right?!"

At that time, when there was no long-range communication equipment, commanders generally considered this. The alarm device carried by the demon will only be effective when it detects that the carrier has lost life.

Back in the big jar where he was hiding, he asked his companion to tie up the three soldiers securely, and then they were ready to work on the captain.

"Brother, this is a demon, it's really big, but it's not very scary. ”

"Yulia, there are many subspecies of demons, and these are just the materials for the most ordinary Sindaro clan and miscellaneous soldiers among the demons. ”

As a hard-working dark mage, Teresa also knows a lot about evil creatures. Those powerful mages are able to connect to the abyssal plane and summon demons to help in battle. However, demons are all intelligent creatures, completely different from necromancy, not only are they difficult to summon, but even if they are successfully brought to the main material plane, demons are difficult to tame, so summoners mainly manipulate the necromantic plane creatures under their autonomy. This is one of the reasons why they are often referred to as necromantic summoners.

"Baz, please take care of the three soldiers, we're going to take action on the captain. ”

Captain Wood, Princess Devia, Lindeman, and Sebastian and Salian were talking.

"It was really thrilling just now, my strength could only be used seventy percent, and I almost couldn't control him. Sebasti said with a sigh of relief.

"Well, so am I, it's just that dealing with the weakest junior officers and soldiers, it seems that the next road is not easy!"

"Then let me try it first, if I don't have enough strength alone, I'll go up together. ”

"No problem. ”

When the two of them were together, Princess Devia on the side felt that she could also help.

"Both, I can help you with the secret art of the royal family of Franthos. One of the sacred secret techniques passed down from generation to generation by the Valois family is to reduce the demon's resistance to psychic attacks. ”

Hearing this, Salian said happily, "Aha! I have long heard that the Valois family has many secrets that have not been taught, and it is a great honor to see them today. ”

After a dazzling chant of magic and a myriad of intricate spell movements, the Captain's size shrank at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye. The Sindaro clan is already in size to distinguish strength, which means that his strength has degraded below that of ordinary soldiers.

Salian and Sebastian, who saw all this, couldn't help but be amazed.

"What a magical power! Your Highness the Princess, it has opened our eyes. The Valois family was able to easily dissipate the demon's original strength with divine secret techniques. ”

The smug Princess Devia replied modestly.

"It's a pity that I can only deal with the demons under the centurion here, if it were my brother Louis de Valois, Prince of Erlian, or even the chief centurion. ”

The well-read Salian followed her words.

"Your brother, is it Louis, Prince of Erliang, a cousin of His Majesty the present King François Fried. I've heard that he's a powerful lightwing Radiant Knight. It turns out that he also has extraordinary attainments in the sacred secret arts?!"

"Yes, among the royal family, perhaps the little prince De Angli has the strongest martial arts, but when it comes to the royal family's sacred secret arts, it must be my brother. ”

Here we can't help but mention another long-awaited Senna Four, the artifact holder of Valois, the Knight de Henry, who is the cousin of King Feli and Louis de Valois. We briefly introduced it before, I don't know if you still remember? Because the knight's mother was only a lady-in-waiting beside the Queen Mother Marie de Medio, and her status was too low, so she did not have the title of prince, nor could she use the surname of Valois, and could only be called the Knight of Henry with her own small fief.

The siblings, Louis and Devia, on the other hand, were very different from the knights, and although their father and the knight's father were the brothers of the previous king, their mother was a much more noble one, the daughter of the Duke of Cantal, the largest feudal lord in central François. This ancient and large family owned hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, and had complete territorial jurisdiction and jurisdiction over it, without anyone's control, just like Miss Lola's Duke of Porandi's family, except that it was not as rich as that family. In order to win over the Cantal family, the previous king let his son take their heiress and hoped to make them fall to the royal family by means of in-laws.

In the generation of King Feli, he named his cousin, Louis, the current leader of the Cantar family, as the prince, and crowned Louis's sister Devia as a princess as a show of favor.

"His Royal Highness Louis is also very good at swordsmanship, I have competed with him several times in the court of the Cité, and there are many unique points. "The Count de Castellmo also had a great admiration for Louis, which made Princess Devoa very useful.

"Earl, you are recognized as the number one swordsman in the court, and my brother is still a little behind you. Haha!"

You know, now King Feli has no children, and he is not in good health, and there is gossip that he suffers from epilepsy. Unlike de Henley, the tenth in line, Louis de Valois was a candidate for the throne in first order, and the clever Count de Castellmo certainly did not miss any opportunity to befriend his family.

While everyone was chatting, Sebastian got to work in earnest, and he penetrated deep into the demon's brain with an irresistible power of mysticism. Until now, apart from Ranzakura, the most reliable subordinate, even Miss Justice Emma von Passau did not know that he had become a control-type Knight of the Terror King.

Although the Sindaro demons are far stronger in strength, speed, and agility than the humanoids of the main material plane, their brains are no different, and the same substances that make up the cortex and cerebral marrow. What's more, after Princess Divea's divine secret art, the spiritual resistance has dropped sharply, and it is vulnerable.

Sebastian's terrifying secret art is running wild in the demon's brain, but unfortunately he only knows a little about the demon's language, and it will take a lot of effort to grasp the information.

Taking this opportunity, Salian picked up the magic-like weapon that Wu Chang had just held in his hand and looked at it, and he found that although it looked similar, the structure was very different, especially the notches on the threads inside the gun tube surprised him.

As the demon faded away, Sebastian opened his eyes.

"Salian, I didn't think I would really meet demons in my life, so I only took demon language as a hobby, and now it's not enough. Haha!"

"Heck, you're the only one here who shares some demonic language with Teresa, and there's nothing anyone else can do about it. I don't even have the desire to learn this obscure language. ”

"Your Excellency, do you have any useful information?" The only person Lindemann knew in the team was Sebastian, who felt that he could develop the Imperial Count into a church reformer. I didn't know that he was only participating in the promotion meeting to explore the secrets.

"This demon is just a captain, his level is still too low, and his knowledge is limited. What I can grasp is that he belongs to the first brigade of the garrison legion, and now there are two brigades in the entire levy fortress and a double hundred-man squad under the direct command of the legion commander, almost twelve hundred soldiers. ”

In the demonic legions, each infantry brigade has about 500 people, and the commander is the first centurion, while the double centurion is the most elite team of a legion, a total of 160 people, led by the chief centurion. The chief centurion was arguably the most capable soldier in a legion.

"Our opponent is not weak, dear Sebastian. ”

"Yes, it is the Abyss's 'Greed' Legion that is guarding this fortress, and the three powerful demons in the information obtained from the Seven Towers Academy of Magic should refer to the legion's Legion Leader Hekia Muse, a giant broodmother spider, her lieutenant Fallen Banshee Jolia Path, and Chief Centurion 'Bloodclaw' Ox. ”

"Heck, knowing more about this doesn't help us much, neither their strengths nor their weaknesses. Salian shook his head helplessly.

"Hehe, you might be a little interested in what they're here for. And Your Highness the Princess, your current merit is enough for King Fei Li to reward you with another county. ”

"What is it?" "Oh?"

"Beneath this fortress is actually a large iron mine! It was discovered by the spies of the demons who had been staying in the main material plane for a long time, so they would teleport here to recruit the fortress, in addition to the elite soldiers guarding it, this place is full of laborers and technicians, and it is easy to use local materials to make war tools. ”

"I see! This is their logistics base, and destroying the demons here can greatly deal a blow to those main forces of the Abyss in the rest of the region, and help the Guardians resist. Salian immediately understood what it meant.

Princess Devia smiled coquettishly.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to thank you well, Your Excellency the Imperial Count von Ridlingen. ”

The princess also knew that the discovery of iron ore would allow her to make a lot of political capital.
