Can you withstand the power of this sword strike, which has been used twice in the game?

The number of humans who regard him as "King" corresponds to the number of his strengthened army.

In short, this is yet another warrior specializing in large-scale warfare.

And this "world's" largest country...

This was precisely the stage where he could shine.

……

The Hero Alliance was busy with its own affairs, while the other two members of the Saintess Squad had already arrived in the abandoned city on the border of the Hope Empire before the Hero Alliance even moved in.

Leighton and Milu have already led a group of heroes there.

But the Empire of Hope did not discover it.

If the hero deliberately avoids humans, then with the current level of human technology, there is really no way to track their movements.

Most of the time, the heroes of the Hope Empire are either in the core of the Empire or in other places outside the Empire to "gain experience".

Only by residing in the heart of the empire can they prove their status.

They can "learn from others' experiences" while ensuring their safety.

They didn't even glance at the demon city opposite the empire.

The city did not show any signs of expansion, so they did not choose to provoke it.

However, the situation is different now. It has been discovered that the threat level of the demon border cities is not high, and the heroes within the empire are now capable of launching a campaign against them.

With the Saintess Squad leading the way, taking over a city shouldn't be difficult...

"First of all, we will not attack or occupy cities on the borders of the demon race."

Layton addressed the other adventurers who had secretly ventured beyond the borders of the Empire of Hope.

He continued;

"Our main objective this time is to gather intelligence and carry out a decapitation strike."

Leading the world's bravest warriors to level up the fastest and find the enemy who has sent demons to the borders of humanity.

Our actions aim to ensure only one thing.

That means from beginning to end, the enemy will never know who we are, nor will they know the purpose of our decapitation strike.

Since Annie and Lycorina were both absent, the task of holding the meeting was assigned to Layton.

As for Miluco...

It's fine to let her attend the meeting; she can dedicate her life to delivering a speech that only requires reading from a prepared script.

However, with Layton present, it's best to let her stay quietly in the corner.

She won't make a fuss or pick up things from the ground to eat; she'll just sit there obediently.

Among those present were elite warriors from different regions, who all nodded silently after hearing Layton's words.

In the conference room, a huge map was placed where everyone could see it.

Layton pointed to the map;

"After half a year of fighting, everyone should already know the distribution pattern of the demon race."

The closer they get to human territory, the weaker the demons become.

The deeper one delves into the demon realm, the stronger the demons become.

"This isn't just empty talk. What I'm trying to say is that our target is the demons deeper inside, and we don't need to waste any more time dealing with low-level demons."

It's not that we have the ability but don't want to eliminate the lower-level demons; rather, there are more suitable heroes to eliminate these lower-level demons.

We must use our time to fight stronger demons, to venture deeper into demon territory, and to bring humanity more intelligence about the demons.

Layton glanced at the speech notes on the table.

If he were allowed to perform on his own, the atmosphere might become even more lively.

I'm here today to talk business, not to just gossip and cheer everyone on, so there's no need for such a heated discussion.

Layton continued reading from his prepared speech;

"Then, it concerns matters within the Demon Realm."

I believe most of you here haven't actually entered a demon city yet, have you?

At this stage, only a minority of heroes can enter the demon city.

Let's take goblins as an example again. Goblins, a type of demon, come in levels one through eight, and there are very detailed guides and instructions for dealing with them.

For heroes, they are actually a type of demon with a very smooth leveling-up path.

After defeating level one, move on to level two; after level two, move on to level three; after level three, move on to level four; then everyone team up and attack the goblin's capital.

Even if some heroes die at the hands of goblins, this kind of demon race is still suitable for most novice heroes.

But the demon cities are different.

Putting aside the fact that the residents of the demon city are at least level three demons, it is not suitable for novice adventurers to explore.

Even the highest-ranking demon baron in the border city, 岜甒□簱liu>△硫‖≤泤QＵn:, is only a level six or seven demon.

This means that even if the heroes go to great lengths to enter the city and assassinate their way up, they will only end up fighting a small demon city lord who is on par with the Goblin Champion.

Moreover, in the demon territory, if the younger ones are defeated, the older ones will inevitably follow. Above the baron is the viscount, and above the viscount is the earl.

The fact that lords of other territories do not help does not mean that their superiors will not send troops to support them.

Before the other side could provide support, the heroes had to go through the trouble of leaving the city, and soon the other side replaced the nobles of the small town with their own.

It means that after all that fuss, only the level has increased, and the fact that it alerted the enemy has made it difficult to further penetrate the demon city.

Well... you can level up by fighting goblins!

So why spend so much time killing a minor lord?

It's all so confusing.

On the other hand, the harm caused by goblins is indeed greater than the harm caused by these demon border cities, and their extermination is a much higher priority than that of the demon border cities.

In summary, this explains why most heroes have never entered demon cities.

Low returns, poor results, and low priority.

However, it's different now.

What they need to go is deeper into the demon realm, not just to subdue a small lord.

Compared to fighting unknown wild demons in the forest, venturing into the city deep within the demon realm offers far greater rewards.

Whether it's the intelligence or experience points that can be obtained, the safety of the forest is definitely greater in the demon city than in the wilderness.

7. "When you enter a demon city, your first task is not to assassinate demons, nor to find a good hiding place."

Instead, they used the system to learn the language of the demons.

"Yes, everyone needs to learn the demon language before we can proceed to the next step," Layton said.

"I want to learn," said Rox, the Demon Warrior who participated in the operation, earnestly.

Although she really wanted to learn, she was actually a "plant" in this speech.

Layton shook his head; "I also want to teach everyone, but learning the language of the demons can only be done by having the system analyze it within a demon environment."

7. I can only teach you a few common phrases, not how to understand the language of the demons.

Only after Pa understood the demon language could he proceed with the next step of his plan.

"Only by understanding the words of the demons can we gather intelligence."

As for how to find a safe base, that's up to everyone to decide.

The safest places vary from city to city. For example, in areas with many fire demons, they don't like places with low fire element, so they would be safer underground.

Conversely, areas with a large number of Earth Demons are actually less safe underground.

Even our Saintess Squad is not familiar with the situation within the demon territory.

Therefore, after the demons split up to carry out their own operations, in most cases everyone needs to make judgments based on their own situation and environment.

"Those of you here are the most outstanding warriors in our human territory, so I don't need to teach you one by one here."

So, are you all confident about our operation to infiltrate the Demon Realm?!

As if he had been holding back for a long time, Layton suddenly became excited.

"Have!"

The heroes responded confidently.

Chapter 138 Guess Who I Am? (4k)

crazy!

Absolutely crazy!

The Goblin King shouted in his heart.

Inside its royal palace, goblins of all sizes gathered together, stiffly raising their hands and cheering with blank expressions.

It looks like they're showing their support, but there's an indescribable sense of unease about the scene.

In the arena surrounded by goblins, the Goblin King stood in the middle, holding a weapon.

In six different locations on the field, six identical goblin kings? Or humans? circled the field, their pupil-less eyes staring straight at it.

Judging from the taste, it is indeed the Goblin King.

However, they all have the appearance of female humans.

That sense of disharmony filled the Goblin King's mind, like the stench of a rotting corpse emanating from a seemingly cheerful living person.

Hit a ghost!

Here, everyone is its subordinate, yet none of them obey its commands.

Like walking corpses, they emitted emotionless cheers.

fear……!
