Chapter 1: The Book of War

The vast and far-reaching hall is the throne of the Lord of Darkness, and below it sit Dick, Dimihera, Yarrow, and Beckis.

"Great Lord, what do you command when you summon us?" Dick stood up and saluted respectfully.

Instead of answering his question, the Lord of Darkness asked, "Dick Faun, let me ask you, how is the situation with the Terrans?"

Dick was a little puzzled, but after a little thought, he decided to answer honestly: "Thank you, Great Lord, for your grace, the human race has been revived and is thriving. The Hellraces have ceded the city to the Terrans, and the new city has been negotiated with McFarlane, Landas, and Gold as the lords. At the same time, almost all the gods of the human race have launched holy wars in the divine planes they have created, expelling foreign races, and some foreign gods have taken the initiative to tear apart the space and take away their own believers. ”

"Good. The Lord of Darkness said lightly, but the words suddenly changed, "But the revival of the human race has brought me great trouble. ”

"Lord, what do you mean?" Dick asked knowingly.

The Lord of Darkness snorted coldly: "Dick, Faun, and Demihera, the plane war is coming, you two actually killed so many true gods in front of me, if I hadn't made a move, even Titan would have died under your sword!"

Dick and Dimihera wanted to defend something, but Yarrow had already stood up first: "Great Lord, please be aware that this battle is a life-and-death battle, and the teacher must show all his strength, otherwise he will be the one who dies." Accidental injuries are inevitable, so please be considerate. ”

Beckis jumped up and chimed in, "Grandpa." Obviously, you promised the hundred clans to fight, how can you go back on it now?"

"Eat the stinky girl inside and out!" the Lord of Darkness sneered. Then he muttered for a while, and said to Dick and Dimihera, "I don't mean to blame you. But you also have to make some amends. ”

Demiohra laughed and said, "Please let the Lord God make it clear." ”

The Lord of Darkness raised his head and said slowly: "The first battle angel in heaven, the second in the heavenly list, Setanis, is extremely powerful, and the demon legions in the hell plane lack an existence that can match it. So I want you two to join the Plane War against Sitanise. ”

Dick thought about it carefully, then nodded, and said, "There is no problem, we are willing to obey the orders of the Lord God." It's just that I have a request, ask the Lord God to make me the commander of the demon legion. ”

"For what?" asked the Lord of Darkness.

Dick smiled. Looking at the Lord of Darkness, he said: "Lord God Mingjian, it's not that I am alarmist, although the human race is weak, but the art of war they have mastered is unmatched by any alien race. When I was in the mortal plane, I also served as the commander of the army, and I have been involved in all kinds of strategies and tactics, and the bravery of the demon race and the tactical command of the human race will definitely be able to exert amazing power!"

There is also a sentence that Dick did not say to the Lord of Darkness: Yarrow is too dangerous to participate in the plane war alone, and if he can become a commander, he will be able to help Yarrow to the greatest extent.

The Lord of Darkness said leisurely, "Demons are respected for their strength. Since you are able to defeat Titan, you are eligible to become a commander. ”

Dick rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Then, great Lord God." There are still nearly a hundred years left before the start of the Plane War, can I train the Demon Legion from now on?"

"That's good. The Lord of Darkness nodded, waving his hand. A black mist emerged, condensing into a pitch-black token. Slowly floated in front of Dick, "There you have this." You will be able to mobilize all the demon legions in the entire Demon Continent. ”

"Thank you, Lord God!" Dick took the token.

Yarrow's eyes flickered, as if he was hesitating about something, and after that, he stood up and said to the Lord God: "Great Lord God, you said that as the price of being with Beckis, I must accept the test of the plane war, may I ask what the plane war is like, and what is the test for me?"

The Lord of Darkness glanced at him and said calmly: "During the Plane War, the Lord of Light will use his divine power to tear apart the space, causing the communication between heaven and hell to overlap, and then send an army of angels to invade hell. The culmination of the war was my confrontation with the Lord of Light. As for the test of you, it's simple, you just have to kill a Seraphim. ”

"Grandpa, you can't do this!" Beckis pouted in dissatisfaction, "Seraphim is too powerful, why don't you let Yarrow kill the four-winged angel." ”

"Smelly girl, shut up!" the Lord of Darkness reprimanded, his tone slightly stern. Beckis stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

Arrow bowed respectfully and said, "By your command, Great Lord God, I will bring you the head of the Seraphim to prove my strength." ”

"Good!" the Lord of Darkness laughed, "I'm waiting for that day." ”

As he walked out of the dark lord's palace, Yarrow asked Dick, "Teacher, tell me, can I reach the true god realm before the plane war?"

Dick groaned and said, "You have already taken the Heavenly Elixir, your qualifications have been significantly improved, and you have all the materials of Night City as a backing, as long as you work hard in these hundred years, it is still possible." ”

"What about you, Mr. Dick, can you become a true god before the plane war?" asked Beckis casually.

Dimihera glanced at the little girl and said with a smile: "If everything goes well, Dick will be able to become a true god within ten years." ”

Yarrow and Beckis were all taken aback, and the little girl jumped up and ran in front of Dick, and said with a smile: "Teacher Dick, you are so good, will you be able to surpass grandpa if you continue like this?"

Dick shook his head and said, "This is impossible, the gap between the true god and the main god is like a moat, and this is no longer a realm that can be achieved by talent or hard work. ”

Cultivation and promotion below the True God level, no matter how difficult it is, there are always traces to follow. The gap between the true God and the Supreme Lord God is like a chasm that is difficult to cross. There are more than two hundred true gods recorded in the heavenly list and the weighbridge, and there are countless true gods who are not on the list, but the existence of the main god level has only been one and a half since the beginning of history. The gap between the true God and the Lord God is like the distance between heaven and hell. The entire world realm is infinitely dimensional. Since the beginning of history, how many brilliant and talented heroes have emerged? How many have been almost crazy. An ascetic who forgets to sleep and eat? No one can tell.

Shura Demon God, Demon King. Demihera, Settanese, Transius...... They all belong to this category, but all of them have become top-notch true gods, not main gods!

The room was large and elegant, illuminated by the sunstone inlaid with the dome, and Dick sat at his desk, holding a snow-white quill in his hand. Pull out a sheet of paper from a stack of papers next to you, and write something.

His eyes shone brightly, sometimes he was struggling to write, sometimes frowning and thinking, and in the blink of an eye he had filled the whole page, and he pulled out another page.

With her arms folded over her chest, Dimihera stood behind Dick and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Dick's eyes were still fixed on pen and ink and white paper, and he said casually, "This is a military book." ”

"What?" Dimihera didn't understand.

Write down the last bit of inspiration that comes to your mind on a piece of paper. Dick looked up and explained with a smile, "In the face of absolute strength, any skill is a joke, but when there is not much difference in strength. Skill is enough to decide everything. ”

"The power of the gods is beyond the imagination of mortals, so the various tactics of the mortal world are completely unable to threaten the gods. As a result, wars between the gods disdain the use of tactics. It's like going back to the barbarian era, and the art of battlefield command is only hard fighting. ”

"What else else?" said Demichra pouting cutely.

Dick stood up from his chair. Shaking his head, he said: "War is not a group fight, and the art of command determines the result to a large extent. How to intersperse divisions, how to attack the weak with the strong, how to advance and retreat the enemy, how to deploy the battle front, and so on, and so on, and many, many more. ”

"You want to use the mortal set on the gods?" Demichra guessed something, her expression a little strange, "Is this possible?"

Dick suddenly grabbed Dimihera's slender waist and kissed her, and when he saw Dimihera's face blushing, he said with a smile: "Dimi, you are smart, I am now planning to sort out a set of combat art for the war between the gods, but it is a little troublesome."

The first problem to face is that the battlefield between the gods and spirits is three-dimensional, unlike the battlefield of the mortal world, which is a flat surface, because all the holy realms and gods can fly in the air. Also, the gods can release the sword and sword, and the attack distance far exceeds that of mortals, and there are also troops to cooperate, arrange troops, and encircle and annihilate...... There are a lot of things, it gives me a headache to think about, but it doesn't matter, I have a hundred years to think slowly, and there are demon legions in the entire Demon Continent for me to try. ”

The Hell Plane is endless, with seventy-two cities scattered and countless villages and towns occupying only a tiny fraction of the vast continent, and in those inaccessible places, scattered with primeval jungles, rivers and lakes, grasslands and deserts.

In the sky above the Gobi, which is difficult to see, there are countless figures floating densely, all of them are hideous-looking demon clans. The crowd of black pressure is grounded and empty.

"The right flank advances! The Chinese army retreats!" The clear shout suddenly sounded, clearly echoing in the ears of every demon, with the shout, the formation of the demon army changed rapidly, and the right flank moved forward, like a giant striking out his iron fist, and at the same time, the Chinese army immediately retreated, leaving a blank area hidden in danger.

Dick smiled with satisfaction, although the change of formation was still a little sluggish and sluggish, but it was already quite rudimentary, and it only took a period of practice, and he was sure that he could train the demon legion like an arm.

Dick glanced back, and behind him stood Dimihera and Yarrow, his gaze lingering on Yarrow's body for a moment: "Yarrow, shouldn't you cultivate hard, why did you suddenly come here?"

"Teacher, I want to learn from you about the art of war. Yarrow's eyes sparkled with a burning light.

Puzzled, Dimichra asked, "Yarrow, are you interested in this kind of thing?"

Yarrow shook his head: "No, I just like to fight neatly and neatly, and I don't like to play these games of strategy. ”

"Since you don't like it, why do you have to learn it? Dick asked, a little confused.

"Because I want to help Priss Grandpa win the Plane War. Ya Luo said slowly, his tone full of firmness, "It's not a big deal to have one more me or one less in the plane war, but you and your wife are different, with your strength is enough to decide the situation of a small-scale battle, it's a pity to lock you in the tent, so I want to command the war instead of you, teacher, so that you can crisscross the battlefield and come and go freely." ”

Dick looked at him in surprise, and after a while, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Good apprentice, the Lord of Darkness is really blessed to have a sensible grandson-in-law like you. Take a good look, and I'll teach you all the tactical knowledge. ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Yarrow immediately bent down and saluted.

Dick turned around and continued to issue tactical instructions to the Demon Legion. Later, he simply split the entire demon army into two, and he and Yarrow each led half of the demon simulation battle.

The strategy and tactics that apply to God are gradually taking shape...... (To be continued......)
