With a sword shot out, the horned demon in front of him was directly scrapped, leaving only the hardest demon horn on the top of his head, which made Hudson, who wanted to capture the captive, very distressed.

The power of the artifact is too great, and the Holy Light's restraint on evil creatures is very obvious, and a single blow can wipe a high-level demon.

For the strong, demons are also excellent magical materials. A lot of magic equipment on the continent is made from parts of demons.

Hudson was not a master alchemist, nor was he interested in making magical equipment, but that didn't stop him from captivating and selling.

A living high-level horned demon can sell for at least tens of thousands of gold coins, and if it is in good condition, it is possible to sell it for hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Scarcity is expensive.

These ectopic creatures are rarely seen in normal times. If you want to capture it alive, it is even more difficult.

Hudson, who was a thrifty housekeeper, would not miss any opportunity to make a fortune. The creatures of the heterotopic plane have all been sent to the door, so naturally there is no reason to let it go.

Having learned from the previous experience, Hudson retracted a few of his strength and prepared to strike again, only to find that his prey was already lying down.

was robbed by his own mount, and Hudson was also very helpless. If you can't grab it, then simply lie down and don't shoot again.

The battle soon came to an end, and without being led by a demon king at the level of the Holy Domain, the combat effectiveness of the chaotic demon legion was just like that.

Once again, Hudson's judgment became more and more certain about himself.

The number of demons pouring into the continent was limited, obviously not prepared in advance, but more like the space portal suddenly opened, attracting nearby demons to come over.

How much you can come depends on luck.

Even if no one destroys it, the space portal that no one maintains will quickly collapse.

The maximum accommodating limit of this level of spatial passage is the first order of the Holy Domain.

The traces of manipulation are very obvious.

Confirming the conjecture, Hudson didn't say much. For this kind of thing without evidence, it's better not to speak nonsense.

The major forces are not stupid, and they will definitely investigate in secret. Once the mastermind behind the scenes is discovered, it is essential to settle accounts after the autumn.

……

"Your Majesty, something is wrong!

The demonic plague has intensified in various places, many allies can no longer hold on, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has received many requests for help.

If the kingdom is unable to support it, they will have to withdraw their troops from the Papal States. ”

As soon as the words of the Foreign Secretary, Count Midofort, landed, Bordeaux VIII replied angrily:

"Let them go, and the army will be withdrawn!

Lao Tzu is not their nanny! ”

In recent days, the life of the Kingdom of Ibya-Libby has not been easy. Demonic disasters have emerged one after another in various places, and among the three major powers, they have suffered the most losses.

This is to pay for the previous policy!

Like the Alpha Kingdom and the Frankish Empire, countries that are extremely anti-papal, the power of the Holy See in the local area has long been eradicated.

The Kingdom of Ibiris has only recently participated in the partition of the Holy See, and although the property of the Holy See has been confiscated, it is far less powerful than the two heretical leaders in terms of anti-Holy See.

One thought laid a hidden danger for the current outbreak of the demonic disaster.

Because of geopolitics, the Holy See's power in the Southern Continent is much stronger than in the Northern Continent.

The local aristocracy merged with the Holy See early on, and on the issue of anti-the Holy See, the position was not so absolute.

Collusion with the Holy See in the Alpha Kingdom is a felony comparable to collusion with foreign races, and once it is discovered, it will be a catastrophe of raiding the family.

In the Frankish Empire, if you have a relationship with the Holy See, you will also lose your official position and be removed from the aristocratic circle.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Ibiris had just begun to cut off from the Holy See, and things could not be done so desperately, so that some forces close to the Holy See lurked.

At this moment, the disaster broke out, and they naturally became the biggest victims.

Up to now, many cities in the kingdom have fallen, and the losses are completely incalculable.

There are even two big nobles who have been taken to their lair by the demon disaster.

I have a lot of troubles in my own house, where can I take care of my little brother!

"Your Majesty, the situation in various places is constantly deteriorating, and we are all struggling, and it is normal for some small countries to not be able to hold on.

Even if you don't withdraw the troops now, you still have to withdraw the troops in a few days, so it's better to be a favor.

Judging from the news from all over the world, although this demonic disaster is all over the continent, it is the Southern Continent that is most seriously damaged, which happens to be the sphere of influence of the human race.

If it can't be pacified quickly, let the aliens think that there is an opportunity, it will trigger a new round of continental war! ”

The Prime Minister, Marquis Olmos, said worriedly.

It's okay for everyone to suffer together, but the human race has the greatest loss. What's worse is that among the three major kingdoms of the Terrans, they have the greatest losses.

Originally, they were at a disadvantage in the competition with the Frankish Empire, and after this happened, the gap between the two sides would further widen.

Once the situation gets out of hand, no one can predict what will happen next.

Deep down, he was vaguely aware of the smell of conspiracy.

"Prime Minister, are you suspecting that someone is deliberately manipulating all this?

Could it be the Holy See?

But they also suffered a demonic plague!

Or is it interracial? ”

Bordeaux VIII asked uncertainly.

The biggest beneficiary of the withdrawal of troops from the Pope was the Holy See, which meant that they had weathered the storm.

It just so happens that the Holy See has this strength, so it is natural that it has become the number one suspect, and the only suspicion is that the Holy See is also a victim.

Even if the impact is limited, once the countries decide to withdraw their troops, no one will pay attention to the demonic disasters in the Pope's territory.

In fact, the actions of all parties to encircle and suppress evil demons in the Papal States are not very strong.

Not to mention the omission of some remnant souls, there are often demons driven to the holy mountain, which makes the Holy See restless.

"Your Majesty, both the Holy See and the aliens are suspicious.

Not only do they have motivation, they also have enough strength.

The Holy See, as the oldest force of the Terrans, is normal for it to have these means.

The most vigilant among the alien races is the elven race, their inheritance is so ancient that only the dragon clan can match.

The number of top powerhouses in the clan is only slightly inferior to that of our human race. If it weren't for the scarcity of the clan, the battle for the hegemony of the continent would have continued.

In recent days, we've been able to catch a few special alien spies.

They are all half-bloods, and some parts have been removed through magical means, and their appearance is no different from that of a Terran, which is usually difficult to spot.

If the Terrans were to lurk on a large scale, it would be possible to plan this operation.

After all, the demonic calamities in the alien realm and the demonic calamities we encountered are not at the same level at all.

It is entirely possible to deceive us with bitter meat tricks! ”

Marquis Olmos said objectively.

It seems to be two suspects, but it is actually a group of suspects, because there are too many aliens.

To do this kind of thing, it must be done secretly, and it is impossible for all the aliens to get together and discuss.

If the plague gets out of control further, then the alien race is the biggest winner.

First, sit back and watch the Terrans and otherworldly creatures lose, and then jump out to clean up the mess and seize the hegemony of the continent.

Once the plan is successful, it is a proper conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!

I just received news that the demon plague of the Principality of Felik has expanded, and the undead army has surrounded their royal capital, and the situation is out of control! ”

The palace minister who hurriedly broke into brought bad news, and everyone's faces changed greatly.

The most important feature of the army of the undead is that as long as they continue to achieve victory, the troops will be able to fight more and more.

Since the outbreak of the demonic disaster, the most serious ones have lost a few provincial capitals, and there is no precedent for destroying the country.

After receiving this news, not only a number of small countries will withdraw their troops, but I am afraid that many kingdoms will also withdraw their troops.

If the neighboring Principality of Filik falls, the pressure on Libya, and no one can guarantee when this army of the undead will be killed.

"Your Majesty, send troops!

The army of the undead is unlike any other evil creature, and once they are allowed to grow bigger, the consequences will be unimaginable!

First, 80,000 elites were dispatched from the country to help the Duchy of Philik keep the royal capital, and then 200,000 troops were sent back from the battlefield of the Papal States.

For other questions, let's take care of them after the demon disaster is calmed down! ”

The Marquis de Franceco, Minister of War, immediately proposed.

Letters for help have been pouring out one after another, and the country's military strength has been stretched thin. Every day dragged on, the kingdom paid a terrible price.

Rather than delay, make a decision as soon as possible. Anyway, the military operation in the Papal States is only to make a fortune, and it is certainly not as important as the homeland.

Bordeaux VIII pondered that once 200,000 troops were sent home, the Kingdom of Iliba would withdraw from military operations against the Papal States.

The remaining tens of thousands of troops are purely to support the scene. After all, this operation was carried out under the banner of "liberation," and none of the results could be justified, and politically it could not be explained.

"What if we retreat and the Franks and Arpharians continue to do so?"

Bordeaux VIII's worries were not unfounded. The Kingdom of Iliba is seriously affected by the demonic plague, and the domestic military strength is tight, which does not mean that others are as miserable as them.

Withdrawing at this moment is equivalent to giving up the dominance. In the follow-up treatment of the Holy See, we can only follow the soy sauce.

"Your Majesty, I can't take care of so much now, the country is important!"

The words of the prime minister woke up Bordeaux VIII. After all, the Aslant continent is a place where strength speaks, and you can only ask for your own hardships if you want to save face.

If the foundation is damaged by the demonic plague, no matter how great the benefits in the Papal States are, they will not be able to make up for the losses.

"Withdraw!"

Gritting his teeth and spitting out these two words, Bordeaux VIII's heart was dripping blood.

After this battle, although the international prestige accumulated by the Kingdom of Ibbyam will not be lost, the name of the second most powerful country of the human race will inevitably be questioned.

If it's just a simple false name, it doesn't hurt to drop one place in the ranking, the problem is that there is also a great power game behind it.

The Kingdom of Ilibby and the Frankish Empire are located on the southern continent, which means that the two sides will be in constant rivalry.

Although there is a gap between the "second and the first", no one is sure how big the gap is without real swords and guns.

In terms of strength on paper, the Kingdom of Ibya-Libby is also a little behind, and it feels like a few younger brothers who can make up for the gap.

When countries stand in line, they don't have much scruples in their hearts. The strength of the two sides is equal, and there is a threat of alien races, so it is definitely impossible to fight, and the occurrence of contradictions is also a political game.

If you fall to third, it will be fatal. The paper data of the Alpha Kingdom is much worse than the previous two.

With an additional comparative reference, the impact on people's hearts is far-reaching, and it will even directly affect the subsequent international game.

After quelling the demonic disaster, how to maintain its current international status will be the biggest test that the Kingdom of Ibya-Libya needs to face.

……

As soon as the head of the withdrawal was opened, it could no longer be stopped. Especially after the accession of the Kingdom of Illia, the concerns of various countries were also dispelled, and troops were transferred from the Papal States to help.

The sudden emergence of a troop vacuum always needs to be filled. Although the countries withdrew their troops suddenly, they still spoke morally.

Not only did he notify the governments before the withdrawal of the army, but he also handed over the area under his current control to nearby allies.

As for whether the allies have the ability to control so much territory, it is not in their consideration.

Sometimes the cake is too big and it can be worrying.

It's just a normal time, and at the juncture of the demonic plague, it is not a good thing to add a large number of jurisdictions.

Everyone is now holding high the banner of liberation, and naturally there is no reason to throw civilians to the devil. Even if he knew that it was trouble, he had to mobilize troops to suppress it.

For a while, the pressure is constantly shifting to countries that have not yet withdrawn their troops.

"Duke Beckett, the countries have withdrawn their troops, the situation in the Papal States is already precarious, and many areas have even fallen into the hands of otherworldly creatures.

The position of our allies has also changed, and if the situation continues to deteriorate, I am afraid that they will also withdraw! ”

Earl Pierce said worriedly.

He personally led troops to help his allies suppress the rebels, and he knew very well the reality of the three countries in the Middle Continent. Once the demonic plague expands, they will definitely not be able to withstand it.

The three countries of the Central Continent can't stand it, and the Principality of Moxi will most likely follow. They are just getting better, and the local area can't afford to toss.

Without the help of allies, the Alpha Kingdom alone will have to bear a lot of pressure.

"Report our situation, and your thoughts, to the country!

The demon plague is raging on the continent, and the kingdom has Marshal Hudson presiding over the great cause of swindling demons, so there is nothing to worry about.

Judging by the information fed back from the country, everything is developing in a good way. Optimistically, it is estimated that the disaster will be quelled by the end of the month. Even if the troops are not withdrawn from the Papal States, it will not have any effect.

As for the jurisdictions left by the allies, they can take over as much as they can, and they really can't manage it.

Don't have a psychological burden, there are so many countries involved, and the Holy See can't scold it! ”

Listening to Duke Beckett's answer, everyone also became hesitant. It was not easy to catch up with a chance to make a fortune, and no one was willing to give up like this.

In the current situation, all countries of the Terran race have a share, and international public opinion is a joke. Everyone endorsed each other, and in the end, the crime of swindling demons will definitely not fall on the alliance side.

The big aristocrats present were all playing politics. There is a bottom line, but it's certainly not too high.

"Beckett is right, there is no need to dwell on it. Instead of worrying so much, it is better to seize the time to rush the loot.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the small and medium-sized nobles below. Many people have worked hard until now, and they have earned back a ferry ticket.

Everyone is not rich, so if you can make up for it from here, try your best to make up for it! If you miss this opportunity, you won't have a chance in the future. ”

Duke Richard's addition completely dispelled everyone's thoughts of leaving.

If you don't work hard, you can't do it, everyone came to rob this time, but they all spent a lot of money to buy "ferry tickets".

If you don't grab a few more things and go back, you'll be working for nothing.

Greed is one thing, but the main thing is that the degree of the Papal States' demonic calamity has not exceeded the limit of what everyone can bear.

Perhaps the Holy See is worried about the aftermath, afraid that the summoned "heretical creatures" are too powerful and will not be able to quell the evil disasters on their own territory in the future.

Although there are many places where demonic plagues have broken out in the Papal States, the overall strength of the alien creatures that have descended is not very good.

This directly creates an illusion for everyone - the demon plague is nothing more than that!

After glancing at everyone, Duke Beckett said with a smile: "If everyone has no other different opinions, then let's vote directly!" ”

This time, they came out to rob, and the private armies of each family were dispatched, and the management mode was naturally different from the regular dispatch of troops.

Boss, there is definitely none.

On the one hand, the interests involved are too large, and it is difficult to take into account all parties, and it is easy to produce contradictions if they are forcibly pulled together; On the other hand, no one wants to do it!

The Royal Government has directly granted everyone the right to act freely, and in normal times they do their own thing, and only when there is a major problem, it is necessary to convene a high-level meeting.

Such a coach is a typical "high position and light power, heavy responsibility"!

No matter how much you grab, it will go into your personal pocket, and you won't take it out to share the benefits of the coach. If something happens, the manager will be 100% liable.

Military merits, don't even think about it.
