Demonic world.
Lord Brad of the Godfall Dynasty shook his head as he looked at the living room that was almost demolished by the lord next door.
The spy Daphne who was sent out earlier has almost lost contact. Only recently did we learn that the two spy-type beauties assigned to her actually followed the king of the Phoenix Kingdom.
In fact, Brad has done some research on the Phoenix Kingdom. It is a place of exile after all, and there is no need for spies as rare as the human-shaped enchantress. It is easy for ordinary wingless mid-level demons with roughly humanoid postures to sneak in.
Through the information he got back one after another, Brad basically knew the opponent's level, and even secretly got back some of the magic gems they exported.
There are two reasons why I haven't taken action yet.
First, the opponent's armed level is too high.
According to spy reports, although the people in the Phoenix Kingdom seem to be very comfortable, in fact all production and living areas can be directly targeted by the city defense forces and the army!
The power of the opponent's weapons has been experienced by more than one or two high-level demons, which means that if the destructive power of the six-ring limit cannot be suddenly erupted, the destructive action can only cover a community or factory area, and it will be difficult to spread outwards.
Don't look at the tens or millions of demons who send out troops. In fact, at the level of the fifth and sixth rings, it is not that easy to find dead soldiers. Moreover, the demons have few honest people, and there are no stronger ones to watch them. In a world that can rebel at any time, even if the overall strength of the action team can break through the first layer of blockade, there are too many uncertainties.
The second reason is that the Phoenix Kingdom has not shown a desperate attitude to push the demons back into the Demon Realm Gate. Since they can bypass them, Brad thinks there is no need to fight with them.
Something changed this time. The other party went crazy and suddenly attacked the team that had withdrawn from the main world, causing a lot of loot losses.
Brad himself didn't care, because he was mainly responsible for providing intelligence during the entire military activity, and the intermediate demons who followed him automatically were consumables in his eyes.
However, the two cooperating lords were very resentful and came to him to demand an explanation.
Brad's statement is "no explanation."
He has a lot of information and knows that in the floating island environment, the lords cannot be dispatched. Even if the three lords drain their wealth, they will at most cause a certain degree of heavy damage.
From a pure hatred point of view, it would be good to severely damage this mad dog blocking the way of the Phoenix Kingdom. The problem is that the demon world relies on strength to speak for itself. If all the wealth is emptied, it is not impossible for the remaining bare lord to die. There are many demons who want to I want this position.
The cooperating lords were dissatisfied and had no other choice. Brad reluctantly came up with an idea to let other lords do the work, and he could cultivate himself for a while.
Unfortunately, the collaborator was still not satisfied and wanted to give it a try.
Anyway, Brad doesn't send troops or spend money on casting materials, so just give it a try.
The result was just like the residual scene in front of him. The battle report came back, showing that before the portal was closed, not many demons broke in. The high-level demons "didn't have time" to move. The few informants who had come back in the past said they couldn't get out at all. At the factory, one of the cooperating lords failed to control his strength on the spot after hearing the report, and mutilated the living room of the Brad family.
Brad didn't embarrass him and asked him to promise to compensate him for something.
After recalling the last time it was damaged, he took a handful of crystal dust, cast a spell to repair the living room, and turned around and left the tower.
There is now a large village outside his tower, one-third of which are captured humans and their children, and the rest are guards bought through trade, who guard the plots and their own towers Together, they form a castle.
Brad had owned the castle a long time ago, but the demons were too promiscuous, and later it was abandoned and left alone.
As human craftsmen and farmers brought a certain amount of production capacity, he decided to sell his palace outside to rebuild the castle.
The number of humans is still too small now, and apart from filling their stomachs, there are not many extra jobs they can provide. In the past few years, Brad has only refurbished his own metal utensils and made some new toys.
"Dear Lord Brad, welcome."
In a few steps, Brad arrived at the tavern in the castle, where some dancers he didn't like worked here to provide services to his men.
Brad rarely comes here, but he came here today to send out a mission.
It was still a spy mission that he was good at, but this time he didn't want to use his own people, it was not cost-effective.
The mission is to sneak into the Phoenix Kingdom, contact Daphne's two sisters, and send back some detailed information through them.
The reward is "no need to go back to the demon world again", which is considered a no-cost transaction.
The task was posted and no one took it on the spot.
This is normal. Brad will not describe the situation in the Phoenix Kingdom to them. For humans who have never lived in the exile, it will not be better than the Demon Realm.
In short, if someone picks up, just find a few men to escort you there. If no one picks up, just hang here. It is impossible to give gold or silver, not even a copper plate.
After sending out the mission, Brad took a sip of the bitter and inferior wine in the tavern. He quickly lost interest in the dancer in rags and turned back to the tower.
Went upstairs to the laboratory. There were several demons in human form working here. When they saw him coming in, they all bowed and ignored the other half.
Brad walked to a table, on which were two magic rifles that had been dismantled into parts:
"Any idea?"
An enchantress stepped forward.
This is an independent category in the enchantress group. The secretary type has stronger brain power, but is not as physically strong as the spy type.
The Secretary-type Enchantress can only be produced by pairing an Enchantress and a Demon. The basic version of the Secretary-type will be covered with part of the scaly horn. The one in front of you has been debugged in the same way as the Spy-type.
Following Brad's aesthetics, her basic skin color and body texture are similar to humans. She also has long black hair and no wing-like assassination appendages. The difference from the spy type is that she retains the enchantress's tail and hoof-like feet. department.
"Master, we can't reproduce this export rifle from the Phoenix Kingdom. The steel they use is too special. After many experiments, we still haven't found a formula with similar strength. The material used for Fatel's gun is rougher, but still It is very precise, and if it is made by outside craftsmen, it would be difficult for a craftsman to make one in two days."
One day in the Demon Realm is equal to one month in the Exile. One can be made in two days. If one hundred people gather together, hundreds can be made in each temporary gate cycle. When the World Gate changes form again, it can also arm a large person. Troops.
But there is a big trap here, namely ammunition.
Although there is a gap in the craftsmanship between the two guns, the magic circuit on the steel bullet uses the aluminum filling method. This circuit is very simple, and its only function is to cooperate with the firearm magic array to save a little magic power.
Brad and his men neither had the ability to mass-produce aluminum, nor could they afford to directly let the spies in the penal colony purchase it. Craftsmen make bullets by hand. If they want a certain efficiency, they can only change them to have no circuit and use the pouring method to produce them. However, the results of such changes are unknown.
Then there is another problem, that is, training.
The Fatel Empire seems to have copied a rifleman training method from the Phoenix Kingdom. However, even this version is too difficult to copy in the Demon Realm.
The demon world is too poor and the demon clan is too wild, which is an obstacle to large-scale training.
It seems that it is better to leave the operations in the south to other lords. I have to find a way to let the spies earn some money in the exile to buy guns and ammunition.
Not to increase the intensity of the war, but to prevent the Phoenix Kingdom from attacking the demon world. This operation made Brad realize that the Phoenix Kingdom seems to be very interested in using demon ban methods. There will be no troops with the ability to resist demon ban on the future battlefield. Basically a lamb to the slaughter.
