"What did you say, Firefiend, he's dead?" With Mephistopheles' abilities, the Ice Demon possessed a rebel soldier. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Calm down. Mephistopheles himself possessed a thin man who was a staff officer of the rebels. The rebel army that occupied Francis City was formerly a bandit, after the magic disappeared, Mephistopheles thought that he could use them, so he attached himself to this thin man and went to the leader of the bandits to advise, let him quickly capture the central capital in the chaos after the magic disappeared and become the king, dissatisfied with the status quo The bandit leader Angelus thought that Mephistopheles was very reasonable, so he appointed him as his military advisor, all the way to the central capital, and quickly defeated the city of Francis near the central capital, after burning and looting in the city to obtain a large amount of supplies, the next step was to attack the central capitalγ
"It's your gaffe, it's your decision to let the Firedemon carry out that mission, and you must be held accountable for it anyway. The Ice Demon rebuked very harshly.
The goblin on the side finally spoke, "It's not Mephistopheles' fault, who would have thought that humans would have that kind of combat power." Unlike the two people present, the Earth Demon was possessed by a brown-haired cat, which was also to make it easier to move.
"What kind of combat power? What kind of combat power can humans have? Seeing these soldiers, do you still think that humans have the ability to fight with our demons?" "The Ice Demon is the same type as the Fire Demon, although his temper is slightly better than the Fire Demon, but after the death of the Fire Demon like his brother, he can no longer hold back his temper, and now he is angry at Mephistopheles.
Mephistopheles gestured to the goblins, who nodded, and picked up a mirror on the table with their claws.
"Is this the Magic Mirror?, the Demon King actually lent us such a treasure-level thing?" the Ice Demon was a little surprised.
"Yes, so I hope you can understand how seriously the Demon King values our actions. β
The Ice Demon took the magic mirror, "How do you do it?"
"The movement of waving your hands allows you to scroll the image freely, and pulling your hands outward enlarges the image, and bringing your hands together makes the image smaller. Mephistopheles taught the Ice Demon how to operate the mirror.
The ice demon fiddled for a long time, and finally adjusted the scene in the mirror to the right position, and the clear posture of the two girls appeared in the mirror.
"What do you mean by showing me?"
"When the fire demon died, only these two girls were present, I asked the earth demon to set up a magic, once the fire demon was killed, all the people around the place of the fire demon's death were pulled into the dungeon. β
"And then just the two of them?"
"Yes. β
"What are you kidding!? Are you saying that the Fire Demon was killed by these two little girls?"
"I'm not sure if that's the case, but these two girls must have something to do with the death of the Firefiend. β
"Then I'll go to the underground palace and interrogate them properly. With that, the Ice Demon left Mephistopheles' room.
"Is this really good?" the Earth Demon asked, "The next focus should be to attack the central capital, it is impossible for those two girls to escape from my dungeon, why don't you wait until you capture the central capital and then interrogate slowly?"
"Let him be, I don't need his strength for the time being, anyway. Mephistopheles didn't intend to stop the Ice Demon, "And your dungeon shouldn't be broken through by those two girls, depending on the situation, they may really be the ones who killed the Fire Demon." β
The Earth Demon shook his head, "Impossible, when I pulled them into the dungeon, I didn't feel any magic on the two of them, and there should be someone else who killed the Fire Demon." β
"That's good," Mephis nodded, "Your dungeon must not be destroyed, as it will serve as the headquarters of the Demon King's army to attack the human world." β
"Can I understand that you're questioning my abilities?" the demon finally expressed some displeasure.
"Where do you dare, I just don't want anything wrong. β
The conversation between the two was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Come in. β
After receiving permission, a herald walked in.
"Lord Fei, Lord Angelus, please come over. "Faye is a pseudonym used by Mephistopheles.
"Got it, I'll go over here. β
The mansion of Count Francis had now been turned into the headquarters of the rebel army, and the office of the chieftain Angelus was temporarily housed in the earl's study. Mephistopheles arrived immediately after being summoned.
Sitting at Earl Francis's former desk was a man in his thirties, with a sun-soaked face with obvious wrinkles, short black hair neatly built, and a pair of black eyes that shot a fierce look, and the sharp gaze immediately softened a little after Fei entered.
"Fei, now that we have Francis, when is it more appropriate to attack Yangdu next?" Can you tell us what you think?" Angelus looked like he was asking Mephistopheles when to attack, but Mephistopheles knew very well that he was signaling his proposal to attack Yangdu immediately.
"I'm sorry sir, the soldier hasn't been repaired yet, so I'll have to wait. β
"How many times have I said it! Don't call me your lord, call me your Excellency!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Anglaus. "Didn't he say he was going to call himself Lord yesterday, and change his name to Your Excellency today?" but Mephistopheles didn't say what he thought.
"And what about the exact time?"
"Three days, three more days to attack the central capital. β
"Three more days?" Angraus felt a little displeased, "Can it be shortened to one day?" You also said before that we should take advantage of the chaos in the central capital to capture it in one fell swoop, so wouldn't it be better to leave as soon as possible?"
"In fact, according to intelligence, the order in the central capital is very stable now. β
"What are you talking about!? Shouldn't we send troops immediately?"
"No, it's just that the chaos in the central capital hasn't broken out yet, so let's use this time to take a good rest, and when the chaos in the central capital breaks out, we will attack immediately. β
"Alright, just do what you say, and step down. β
"Yes. Mephistopheles left the Earl's Mansion after receiving the order to retreat.
I didn't expect him to be deceived so easily, it seems that it is not unreasonable for this guy to stop at the king of bandits, after the massacre of refugees, Angelus is destined to become a king. But that has nothing to do with Mephistopheles, Mephistopheles' purpose is just to test the reaction of humans in the face of enemies who will not hesitate to kill themselves, which is related to the countermeasures of the demons who invaded the human world in the future to deal with human troops, and the people of Central Capital are its test subjects, and the news of Angelus's massacre of Francis's refugees should be transmitted to Central Capital, so will the people of Central be united in the face of this rebel army? or will they fight among themselves? Or take refuge? How they react means how humans will react in the face of demon invasion in the future, and then the demon army will be able to formulate countermeasures more easily.
