*****In the combat research room on the 3rd floor underground of Huierna Labyrinth and the 4th floor of the castle****
The time came to around 10:20 pm. Zhang Youji, who was a little exhausted due to the farce caused by the three brave men, took a rest among the lords who ordered him to come out of the throne room and returned to the fifth floor alone. After the meeting, Leterica and Belika came to the lords, conveyed to Zhang Youji that they were ready to hold a combat meeting, and took Zhang Youji to the combat research room on the fourth floor.
The layout of the combat research room is very similar to that of the conference room. There are crystal seats decorated with many luxurious accessories and a large round table made of platinum. Although it is smaller than the round table in the conference room that can accommodate a hundred people, it can still accommodate dozens of people. There is still room for meetings in front of the table, and some of the tea sets and other things on the table are still precious and make people speechless.
But the difference is that there are many more unknown magic props in the combat research room than in the conference room. The most conspicuous one is a projector in the middle of the round table that can project various necessary information. The method used is , just put the information that has been written on paper into the fixed box on the table in front of each seat, put your hand on a transparent crystal in front of the box, and you can control it at will, even if necessary. Sometimes, you can also use MP to add some content to the projected things at will.
Before Zhang Youji could take a closer look at the other things, he was pulled into a specially vacated seat by Letlili. On the right side of this seat were the guardians of the maze, Ling and Valkyrie, and on the left was the person who had just sat down. Laetlica, Alf, Miller, Miyi, and Belette, as well as Liya and the king, are also sitting here. The head maid, Belecka, and Lingya are sitting here respectively. Standing behind Zhang Youji and Liya's seats, they are always ready to perform their duties as maids.
[Now that the summoner has arrived, let’s start the countermeasures meeting about the demon king’s attack. Of course, if the summoner has anything to say before the meeting starts, you can just say it without paying attention to us. 】
[Well, let me briefly explain. In short, I am just an ordinary person and don’t understand things like war at all. Therefore, I will leave all the detailed matters to you. After all, compared to me, who doesn’t understand anything at all. It’s better for laymen to give random orders to experts like you. 】
[I understand, please leave it to us and call on the Lord. 】
When Valkyrie saw Zhang Youji sitting in his seat, she immediately stood up from her seat. After briefly talking to Zhang Youji and confirming certain things, Valkyrie took the lead. In this meeting about the countermeasures against the Demon King, the information that had been sorted out clearly began to be used on the projector.
Information about the enemy, as well as their numbers and power, were all reported to Ifrut by her subordinates outside the labyrinth in a short period of time using the method of "Conveying Thoughts".
First of all, the forces on the human side. The combat power of the royal capital and surrounding towns has already poured out and is gradually gathering towards the maze.
Among them, there are now more than 50,000 infantry, more than 30,000 knights, more than 40,000 magicians, more than 20,000 dragon knights, and more than 10,000 magic knights, totaling more than 150,000, and still increasing.
Then, there is the force on the Demon King's side. Because the opponent has a certain level of strength, Ifrut did not let her subordinates investigate too deeply. Currently, they only know their location and a few types.
These are outside the royal capital, in the direction of the lost forest that Zhang Youji once entered by mistake. There are two different groups of enemies, more and less. One group is like an observation group in the front and is composed of 500 demons. The group in the rear is It is a force of about 7,000, a mixture of various magical beasts and undead. Then, the capital is now filled with the Demon King's forces, including some humans who have taken refuge with the Demon King. The total combat strength is unknown. It is speculated that the threatening enemies should at least be There are more than 10,000.
Just when Valkyrie finished saying these things and was about to continue, Zhang Youji suddenly knocked on the table, stood up from his seat, and yelled out what he wanted to say in a panic.
【Wait! Isn't there too many on the Demon King's side? ! If we remember correctly the number here, it seems to be only a little over 5,000 in total, right? ! How can we keep up with hundreds of thousands of enemies? ! By the way, this is impossible to fight, right? ! 】
[Summoner Lord, please don’t worry. Our main enemies are only the demon king’s forces. I think we don’t have to worry about the human forces. Although the number of enemies is greater than ours, the quality is overwhelmingly advantageous to us. 】
[Uh, Valkyrie, to put it simply, we also have a chance of winning, right? 】
[Please rest assured and call upon the Lord, we have a good chance of winning. 】
[Oh, then I can rest assured, maybe? Sorry for interrupting, please continue. 】
When Valkyrie heard Zhang Yuji's question loudly and answered him calmly with a smile, Zhang Yuji, although he did not accept it from the bottom of his heart, but reluctantly agreed, apologized and sat down again. From their seats, they continued to listen to the battle meeting between Valkyrie and the others.
Just now, Valkyrie has finished talking about the current configuration of the enemy's combat power. Next, she talked about its countermeasures and the distribution of personnel. First, the human army outside the maze, and the Demon King's army secretly observing the situation here. .
On the human army side, although Ifrut's subordinates reported that they seemed to be suffering from some mental disturbance, it was decided that the king and Liya would come forward first to see if they could be persuaded. If not, let Nas , Fei Que, Deguna, these three maze guardians, with their respective dependents, forcibly dispersed the human army. After completion, Nas and her dependents immediately returned to defend the maze, while the other dependents directly Head to the royal capital for reinforcements.
The Demon King's response was to those entities that were secretly observing in the direction of the Lost Forest, so they sent Ifrut and Shinran, along with their respective retinues, to attack them. Ifrut was responsible for the small number of those beings. Fang and Zhenlan are the ones with more numbers, and they will act according to the situation after solving the problem.
The corresponding response for the royal capital occupied by the Demon King is to have Hyouka and Zim in one group with all Zim's bodies, Valkyrie and their subordinates in one group, a total of 2 groups, Hyouka and Zim's group, It is to attack some important places, attract the attention of the demon king, and at the same time occupy a safe stronghold for the friends and backup. The Valkyrie team goes to rescue some important people, and immediately reunites with the friends after the end, and begins Be prepared to launch a general attack on the Demon King.
As for the defense of the maze, it is completed by Huilna, Birch, and the alien dragons in the maze. In addition, Nas and her family members who returned to defend the maze on the way can provide support even if something bad happens. The best thing to do is to wait until the war on Ifrut and Shinran's side is over, and then wait for their reinforcements.
In the end, Ling and Qing, Iroha, and their respective families, plus Boreka who ignored the atmosphere and forced herself to recommend herself, are all Zhang Yuji's guards, following and protecting Zhang Yuji's safety at the critical moment. , and there is no need to cooperate with Valkyrie and the others in their battles. Zhang Youji's safety is completely the top priority.
[Summon Master, the above is the rough battle plan. Do you think this is okay? If you are dissatisfied with anything, please tell us and we will modify it immediately. After all, plans can never keep up with changes. 】
【······, ah, well, if you insist on being dissatisfied, what about my allocation? Although I am very grateful for assigning a guard to me, but what should I do myself? 】
[If possible, I would like to ask you to wait for the matter to end in the maze with Leterica, Alf and the others, but the summoner, if it is you, you must not want to do this, right? 】
When Zhang Youji heard that the rough battle plan was over and Valkyrie didn't mention what he should do, he followed Valkyrie's words. Although he expressed his doubts again, this time he was interrupted by Valkyrie. She asked back with a helpless smile, but Zhang Youji, who already had the answer in his mind, immediately answered her question without hesitation.
[Of course, although the Demon King will take action here sooner or later, I brought up the idea of rescuing people and saving the royal capital by the way. It’s strange that I can agree to it as long as you work hard and let me sit here. 】
[Please understand that this is not deliberately ignoring you. Summoning Lord, you are our master and we do not have the authority to order you. Therefore, we let Suzu and Kiyoshi, as well as Berleka and Iroha serve as your guards, and This is also an opportunity for you who have no battlefield experience to experience the battlefield, so please act as you wish, but please remember to never separate from them and do dangerous things alone. 】
【···Well, don’t worry, I’ve written it down. 】
[Summoning Lord, thank you for your understanding... Then, let’s talk about the detailed question next. 】
After Valkyrie heard Zhang Yuji's answer, she first bowed her head and apologized to Zhang Yuji with a very serious expression, and then gave some advice to Zhang Yuji with a serious expression. When Valkyrie After looking at Zhang Youji's serious expression and confirming that he had kept the advice in mind, Valkyrie once again led the meeting and discussed other issues.
After that, the time came to around 11:30, after discussing the detailed deployment, attack time, and other details, and after referring to the words of the king and Liya, and learning the approximate locations of some people who needed to be rescued, Everyone who thought it was time to end the meeting and prepare for battle disbanded on the spot and went about their own business.
The king, Liya, and Lingya were taken to a room on the fourth floor of the castle that was better than the second floor of the castle and was only used when receiving dignitaries or very good friends. Rested.
As for Zhang Youji, he was thinking about various things that would happen tomorrow. Accompanied by Ling and Qing, he returned to the lord room. Later, he looked at 2 who said some good night and some words of comfort. When the people left, Zhang Youji took off the clothes and shoes that matched the royal attire, fell on the bed and continued to feel uneasy, thinking about tomorrow's war.
By the way, when Zhang Youji was dueling with the three brave men, the coat of the King's Ceremony that he took off had long been taken away by several vampire maids, and after being quickly sorted again, it was put back between the lords. A certain clothes rack was on it, but Zhang Youji, who was thinking about something, probably hadn't noticed it yet.
*****Somewhere near the Huerna Labyrinth*****
The time came to 11:35, and the perspective shifted to Uncle Tenjin and Majin-chan, who were running around after eating fertilizer and ran out of the maze in one breath.
Because they ate a slime in the shape of a young girl, and the fertilizer they brought with a kind face, and then learned that they had eaten something that must not be eaten, they immediately broke down and went berserk, and started running around. Jiang, these two people have been running until now and have calmed down a little. They are kneeling on the ground dejectedly somewhere outside the maze owned by Zhang Youji, crying to each other about the highest god and the highest demon. Dignity issue.
But on the way, there was a god wearing casual clothes, blond hair and golden eyes, who looked like an uncle in his 55s, and a girl wearing gothic lolita clothes, with black hair and red eyes, who looked like she was only about 12 years old. Demon God, these two people suddenly became serious because of a certain aura they suddenly felt.
[Hey, Demon God-chan, if I feel right, this unclean aura seems to be one of your demon kings, right? 】
[Alas, the child who was chosen recently is a demon named Malvis. That child is real! He has only been the Demon King for about 50 years, but he still dares to declare war on that abnormal kid! Is there something wrong with the kid's head? ! Remember when she wasn't such a reckless child? ! 】
[Haha, yes, yes, it seems that there will be one less demon king in this world. I look forward to good news about that abnormal boy. 】
After Demon God Jiang listened to what Uncle Tian Shen said, he immediately squatted down and held his head, and with a headache, he told the information about the Demon King who was fighting Zhang Youji this time. Uncle Tian God, who was looking at this scene, had a look on his face. With a smile on his face, he said what was in his heart easily, causing Demon-chan to stand up immediately, with a face that looked like he was about to cry, and prepare to go to the royal capital to report the news.
【Ugh? ! This can't go on like this! It is absolutely impossible for a demon king who has only been a demon king for about 50 years to fight against such heretical forces! We must warn that child and stay away from that abnormal kid! 】
【oh? Do you think I will let you go? Just like when the abnormal boy resurrected the goblin, I wanted to interfere then, but you didn't agree. If you want to interfere this time, of course I won't agree either, so let's just watch on the sidelines this time. 】
【Ah~! Got it! Really! ·········Tsk! Please kid! Then at least let the child live! ···Also, that child too! It’s not good to offend anyone, but he must offend that extremely abnormal kid! 】
When Demon-chan was about to run away immediately, he was stopped by Uncle Tenjin and heard what he said. Demon-chan immediately grabbed his head with his own hands and frantically, unwillingly gave up the idea of reporting to the Demon King and remained silent. After a while, he turned his gaze to Zhang Youji's labyrinth, looked at the labyrinth in a tone similar to prayer, and said words that could not be conveyed. Then he looked in the direction of the royal capital, and in a complaining voice, After shouting out the words in my heart.
Demon Sauce hid with Uncle Celestial God and these two people, and began to silently observe the conflict between Zhang Youji and the Demon King in the dark. This matter will definitely affect the entire human continent.
