He also felt that he was not eliminated because he had hardly participated in the purge.
Let's just let this matter rest. If it really involves the Dragon Clan, not even the Marquis above, let alone the Demon Grand Duke, could protect him.
should say……
The Grand Duke wouldn't take him seriously either; he might even slap him to death in order to curry favor with the Dragon Clan.
His superiors treated him the same way they treated the viscounts.
Anyway, it's fine if the subordinates are replaced; just don't let it affect me.
As a result, a large number of viscounts in Water Demon City were killed, and the matter was left unresolved.
As the Saintess Squad had hoped, they accomplished great things without causing a huge sensation.
In contrast, the battle of Black Raven City in the Silvermoon Fortress war zone made the local count truly aware of the existence of humans.
From the very beginning, Viscount Black Raven gave a brief report to the Earl on the battle situation in his territory.
After all, the entire Baron City he managed had been razed to the ground by foreign creatures. √”Three「∴wu{°々@＿
This is not a minor skirmish within the demon race, but a real territorial war.
An external enemy has appeared for the demon race.
The count took this matter seriously, but not too seriously, because he felt that Viscount Black Crow should be able to handle it.
Paying attention means paying attention to intelligence coming from within human territory.
Because the demons know nothing about humans, they need to obtain more information.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Since there is an external threat, we should take it seriously.
The reason for not taking it seriously is that people think these external enemies aren't that strong.
After all, over the years, the foreign enemies he knew of had only been able to take beatings, while the barons on the border had been advancing triumphantly.
The fact that the opponent was able to launch a counterattack only shows that they had accumulated a certain amount of strength over the years.
But even if they defeat a bunch of baronies, they still can't threaten the viscount. What good is accumulating strength?
I learned this from spies in human territory;
First, humans are a hierarchical race.
Humans look down on the lower classes and may even treat them as slaves.
Then, based on the contributions of these slaves, they were gradually granted the rights of normal human beings.
The vast majority of humans are domesticated and even divided into upper, middle, and lower classes.
Those who keep these humans in captivity are another powerful group of humans.
This is very similar to the demon race, where the powerful dominate the weak.
After all, in the Demon Realm, it was the weaker Xianjiu who was sent to the front lines to die. [∧∨〓0←]
The weaker the force, the more it needs to guard the border.
If anyone's going to die, it'll be the weaker ones first.
But their situation is the same as that of the demons—
Killing the weak is completely useless.
Even if we send a large number of demons to slaughter all the slaves on the human border, or slaughter all the inferior humans, what would be the point?
The enemy has a group of warriors who never rest or sleep and never need to eat.
That is the real enemy that the demons should be wary of.
As for inferior humans, or even slaves who are not even human, their value to human territory is probably only in exploring potentially dangerous areas.
For example, if there's a place filled with highly toxic marsh gas, they might throw in some lowly human to see if they die.
In the eyes of the count above Viscount Black Raven, there exists a group of even more brutal top humans among humanity.
All these elite humans do with ordinary humans is dominate and exploit them.
As for whether they will protect these "citizens," it's likely that these top-tier humans are no different from the top-tier demons.
High-level demons don't care about the lives of low-level demons at all.
Advanced humans don't care at all about the life or death of lower-level humans.
And now, it's impossible to obtain any more information from the human world.
Because the scouts lost all contact after the battle of Black Raven City.
With the death of Viscount Black Crow, the spies also disappeared completely.
The local earl, who was also concerned about the matter, tried to have his subordinates contact the spy.
The result was a complete failure to connect the dots: Qun: 扒∮¨起¨◆溜陆￣'参￠？ 似∪×上，无功果返。
At this point, the Earl had no choice but to send his subordinates to guard Black Crow City.
As for the territories of those barons, it's really not that important whether they're defended or not.
Because early intelligence indicated that humans did not actually have the ability to occupy large territories.
The other side simply liked to attack as soon as they showed themselves, clearing out the demons from their territory. As a result, they didn't send any troops to occupy the territory, but instead treated this place as a battlefield.
Since that's the case, let's just leave it for now. Anyway, there are plenty of low-level demons. As long as humans don't have the ability to occupy it, they will eventually give up this place.
It's just a few baronies, which are like a few small, barren lands in the vast territory of an earl.
It's like having a few dollars slip through your pocket even if you're incredibly wealthy. You might feel bad, but since it happened for no reason, you won't be upset for long over such a small amount.
The death of a viscount is not insignificant, but it's not a big deal either. A new viscount will soon take over. Just consider it as the Black Raven Viscount being killed by some rising local organization.
Currently, the two earls whose viscounts were killed have both chosen to handle the matter conservatively.
In fact, in their previous lives, the demons often dealt with things conservatively and did not consider the hero to be a great threat.
But when they came to their senses, the hero was already an existence that most demons could not defeat.
Of course, there are conservative approaches and radical approaches.
At the borders of human territory, many demon nobles have found that their territories cannot be further expanded, and they are slowly deploying higher-level low-level demons.
They weren't in a rush to expand their territory; a gradual approach was sufficient because...
As long as we gradually deploy lower-level demons to fill the battle lines, we will definitely be able to weaken the power of those foreign races.
Not only low-level demons will die, but enemies will also die.
The deaths of lower-level demons have the least impact on them.
However, their gradual approach presents a disaster that humanity urgently needs to address.
If we cannot eliminate disasters from the borders, ordinary people will one day suffer irreparable consequences as a result.
The Holy Hero was born on the first day of the second week of the first month of the second year.
Based on the Saintess Squad's strategy, specific action plans have now been developed.
First, in the previously formulated strategy, the heroes will be divided into two or more groups to act simultaneously.
One group focused on attacking the demons and leveling up, while the other group concentrated on intelligence gathering and resource acquisition.
Since the general direction has indicated that the heroes need to establish organizations among the demons, the heroes who were originally temporarily responsible for providing support will have to return to the lower-ranking baron's city to "dominate the region".
They adopted the same slogan and first established a small organization in every baron's city where heroes were active.
An organization that has at least some influence in Baron City.
This is just the beginning. 7
In different demon cities, even small ones like Baron's City, different small demon organizations grow and expand every day.
You're the tavern deliveryman.
I work as a stir-fry cook at a restaurant. (Lu)
He ate nothing but garbage.
They sat together, slapped their thighs, formed a team, and vowed to do something big!
Although these small teams can basically only do petty theft and robbing children.
But just like drawing cards, thousands of these inconspicuous teams appear, and one of them will eventually become an SSR, start to accumulate fame, build power, and eventually become a force to be reckoned with in the city.
Once the heroes established a small but renowned organization, they swiftly suppressed other smaller organizations.
Because the heroes are now basically in a state of overwhelming level, they can simply slaughter everyone in some level six or seven demon cities.
Therefore, once these small groups are suppressed and the local lords are made aware of their existence, pressure can be immediately applied to the lords.
The goal wasn't to kill the local lords, but to let them know that the heroes were dangerous enough to threaten their lives.
The lord couldn't do anything about them!
At that time, the whole city will know that there is an organization in the city that even the lords cannot do anything about.
Isn't it the best form of publicity if the whole city knows?
The news spread from one city to another, and eventually the entire demon border region would know that the same organization existed in different baron cities around the area.
Equally powerful, equally helpless even when the lord arrived, equally feared by the entire city.
Of course, this is the most ideal situation.
In reality, these organizations are still small circles among the many demon civilians.
The power struggles and infighting have nothing to do with the demons who receive a fixed salary.
Even if the lords are suppressed, it is still difficult to make it so that "everyone in the underworld knows about it".
Just like in [Water Demon City], so what if the Water Demon Viscount dies?
Most demons still go to work, eat, and sleep as usual.
They would only say "Oh" when they heard that Viscount Water Demon was dead; they had no access to such high-ranking nobles at all.
The heroes' goal is to quickly establish a "demon organization" that the demons will know about.
Therefore, the role of the succubi becomes apparent at this point.
