Central City.

The morning sun also rises in the east, and the crowds on the commercial streets are still flowing, and the Central City today is no different from what it used to be.

However, there seems to be some subtle differences. In addition to laughter and melancholy, there is also a sense of anxiety and hope on people's faces.

Because, the southern expedition officially began.

A few days ago, the brave Emisha Xia took the lead and rushed to the southern front with the large army, and then the students who won the championship from Hoag House also followed.

War is inevitable!

The last time I went south, the vitality of the demon race was greatly damaged, and the demon king was seriously injured, and he was hit into the depths of the Endless Forest by the wings of sin and did not dare to show his head, although the human race also paid the same painful price, but ...... The strength and tenacity of the human race are something that those stupid demons will never be able to match.

The knight selection competition not only selected such outstanding juniors as the Exorcist Salvation Society, but also Emitsha Sha, the daughter of Vilvit, accepted the blessing of Sheila and was chosen by the God of Light, and became a new brave man.

The tenacity of the demon clan cannot be compared to the human race, in just one year, they must not have come out of the shadow of failure, this southern expedition, the human race will definitely be able to give the demon a hard blow.

However, the world is unpredictable, there is no 100% victory in war, and any little mistake will bury the good situation in vain, in addition to hard power, luck, and mentality, all three are indispensable.

As the saying goes, an arrogant soldier will be defeated.

While everyone had absolute hope for Lance, the supreme commander of the exorcist army, there was one man who was drinking sullen wine in a worried state.

Hoag House.

Stacks of papers were scattered on the floor, unattended, and a large wine barrel sat in the center, a golden liquid dripping on the papers, soaking the paper full of words.

No matter how lazy Rem is, if he changes his usual life, he has to obediently cheer up and deal with Chengshan's documents, because this is not just cold words, but also information about the students themselves, and he dare not be careless.

But today, he completely ignored it, holding a big wine glass alone, crossed Erlang's legs, sat by the window, and drank the contents of the cup while looking at the vibrant spring scenery outside the window in a daze.

Bang dang.

The door opened.

"Haha, old man Kane, I didn't expect you to come, do it quickly, I got a barrel of good wine, let's drink some of it?"

Seeing the guests enter the house, Rem immediately turned out a wine glass, poured it full of wine and handed it over.

"Hmph, what, I can't come?" Kane was half killed by the smell of alcohol as he entered the room, "uh...... You're drinking? You're not working in broad daylight, what are you drinking?"

"Haha, don't be in a hurry, it's rare to have time, I'll rest too. Gollum ......" said Rem as he raised his glass and drank the rest of the wine, "Ah...... Haha, come on, old man Kane, you can do it too. ”

", I'm not drinking. Kane pushed away the glass Rem had handed him away, found his way through the sea of papers, and sat down on a stool.

Rem can have a good rest today.

A few days ago, Kane lost the entire academy to him, and in addition to managing the affairs of the world, Rem also had to take care of the Exorcist Salvation Society's bear children.

Now, Lance's stinky boy is on the battlefield, no one bothers him anymore, and the bear kids of the Exorcism Salvation Society are gone, and he is the only one left.

No, there's one more person, Kane.

Grunt......

Rem drank another big glass, but he still didn't feel like it was enjoyable, and drank several more glasses in a row, which made Kane feel terrified.

In Kane's impression, the person who drank so unwanted was Emilia besides him.

Rem came from a humble background, stole rice when he was a child, killed people when he grew up, and was a ruffian and a scumbag before he became a marshal, and he was a drunkard, but when it came to drinking, he was far less calm than Emilia.

I wonder how Emilia is now......

Thinking of this, Kane was inexplicably sad, and couldn't help but pick up his wine glass and take a shallow taste.

"Hiss......"

He hadn't drunk for a long time, and the hot and spicy taste made Kane a little uncomfortable, but gradually, the mellow aroma of the wine echoed in his mouth, making him want to stop.

"Yes, good wine. ”

"Speaking of Kane, aren't you really going to go with them?" the big fat face turned red, and Rem asked as he gasped, "If you are here, the odds of winning this southern expedition are at least one percent higher." ”

"Hehe, Rem, you're exalting me too much. ”

"No, no, no...... It's not lifting...... Old man Kane, you—you have the ability. Rem said, shaking his head.

10% odds...... It may sound like a trivial prospect, but for a war of magnitude, the impact of any one person is minimal.

Kane alone can increase the chances of winning a war between humans and demons by at least 10%, which is completely unreasonable.

However, as a former Imperial Marshal, Rem is well aware of Kane's strength, and this odds are not alarmist.

To judge the strength of a magician, the first thing people look at is often his age. The older you get, the more powerful your magic becomes, and the more delicate your ability to control the elements.

Kane is close to the age of sixties, with a pale face, whether it is the understanding of magic power or the control of the elements, he has reached the peak of the realm, not to mention the trouble, he is also a ninth-order all-system great mage, standing on the top of the continent, as far as the eye can see, no one can match.

To the Commanders, Kane's presence is perhaps more glamorous than their own wives. The terrifying power of magic can change the tide of battle in an instant, and Kane's true value lies not in his own strength, but in his deterrent!

To the enemy, he is equivalent to a magic crystal cannon with infinite energy, and he also has countless defensive forces around him. With him, the commander can play amazing and wonderful tactics, and even if he doesn't strike once, the enemy will make frequent mistakes because of his fear, and have to abandon the fighter again and again, which will eventually lead to defeat.

Unfortunately, eight years ago, Kane made up his mind not to participate in the Southern Expedition again, sealed his power, and chose An An to be a principal.

"Hey, if you're here, this southern expedition will be nine out of ten, hiccup...... I—We'll be able to kill a lot less!" the drunken Rem couldn't hold on, and had to use his hands on the table to keep his balance, "Hey, old man Kane, don't you think about it anymore?"

"Hmph, you guys care about the life and death of soldiers? I think, you're afraid that Lance kid will lose the battle, and you want me to help him. ”

Snorting disdainfully, Kane was not to be outdone, and drank a full glass in front of Rem.

"Haha, I really don't worry about that stinky boy. In case he loses this time, I'm afraid he ......"

"I'm afraid that he'll end up ruined like you?"

"Hey, my old bones have long been nothing to pursue. Rem squinted, drowsy, and forced himself to stay conscious, "I, even if I stay with you for the rest of my life, I'm happy, but he's different, he's still young......"

"Haha, forget it, you ruffian still know what to be young or not. Kane patted Rem on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Rem, Lance is different from you, although he is a bit rigid, but he is much more accurate than you." ”

"Huh, I—I'm worse than him?"

"Let me tell you this, this southern expedition, it will be difficult for Lance to lose if he wants to!" slammed the wine glass on the table, Kane wiped his mouth and said loudly.

"Why?"

"Because, he's there. Kane pretended to be mysterious and said with a smile, "You just said that if I go to the battlefield, I can improve my chances of winning at least 10%, but if it is him, at least increase ......."

"By how much?"

"Fifty percent!"

"Well, wait! I'll count, one, two, five," Rem counted with his fingers, "It turns out that humans and demons are five or five, and the chance ......of winning is almost fifty percent." Hiccup...... If you increase it by 50 percent, it's 10 percent......"

Rem burped, and her small squinted eyes suddenly widened.

"Ten percent, ten percent!?" Most of the wine woke up at once, Rem couldn't believe his ears, "Kane, you, you've drunk too much, ten percent? How is it possible, no matter how big the difference in strength is, you can't have a ten percent chance of winning, this is common sense!"

"Believe it or not. Hiccup...... Kane also burped, didn't want to say more, and got up to leave.

"Wait...... I only know one way to get to a 100% chance of winning. ”

"How?"

"That is, the enemy did not want to win from the beginning, they wanted to lose to us on purpose...... Only in this way can we achieve a 10% chance of winning. ”

That's right, it's the only way.

It's hard to win, but it's easy to lose. As long as the enemy wants to lose, no one can stop them, and no accident can happen.

"But...... Why? Why do the demons want to lose to us on purpose?" Rem tapped his head hard, trying to sober himself up.

"Haha, yes, why?"

Kane pursed his lips at the old disrespectful face, aroused Rem's curiosity, and slipped away quickly.

"Hey, who is he, you should tell me clearly!"

Rem tried to catch up, but he drank so much that his head was dizzy, and he fell to the ground as soon as he got up.

He saw that Kane seemed to have taken a vat with him as he left.

"Hey, dead old man, just go, don't snatch my wine!" (To be continued.) )
