[Time left until the demons descend: 7 hours, 27 minutes, 18 seconds]
Hektor's massive figure stood tall and straight, his serious face devoid of any jest.
He was different from the other apostles.
The Great Demon, who revered martial strength, was conquered by Reji's absolute power and was willing to believe everything Reji said, no matter how absurd it seemed.
After all, in the face of absolute power, nothing is impossible.
Hektor believed that the new Demon King's devastating strength could clear any obstacles for them.
The Great Demon's vote of approval not only infuriated Eileen but also angered the Wicked Demon Lordan, feeling that Hektor had stolen his role.
The second to cast a vote of approval for Reji's "absurd" decision was the Decay Demon, Eris.
"War. Hee hee, the war is about to start."
"This way there will be... corpses. Eris's favorite corpses. Lots and lots of corpses.
Endless corpses."
"Like. Love it. Eris loves his majesty, and Eris too... can't wait.
Hee hee."
The Decay Demon, sitting there, swung her blood-stained butcher knife.
It was probably her way of expressing joy for Reji.
Her belly, built up of rotten flesh and corpses, trembled with her excited movements.
Her face, patched and stitched together from various pieces of flesh, grinned at Reji, looking as innocently delightful as a little girl told by her parents that they were going to the amusement park tonight.
A little girl weighing several hundred kilograms.
"Eris, shut up! This is not the place for your whims!" Eileen immediately scolded the Decay Demon below.
Dian has always been pragmatic.
After Lordan spoke, he pondered briefly as if calculating, and soon nodded affirmatively, saying, "If we use the essence of the wicked demons as an aid... hmm, it should indeed be possible to complete the reinforcement tonight, reducing the army's traversal loss rate to below 3%, only..."
The essence is produced only after the death of a wicked demon, and the yield is very low.
Lordan understood the meaning of the sorcery demon and bit his teeth, loudly saying, "It would be our honor as the Wicked Demon clan to pave the way for our king's plan!"
This solved the last problem.
After tonight, a million demon troops would descend upon the world, returning to the continent from the banished chaos rift, seemingly a done deal.
Seeing this, Sword Demon Pierre no longer remained silent and stood up to express his stance:
"My King, if your decision is made, please allow me to lead the team, bringing the last seven high-ranking Sword Demons of our clan as our vanguard, to assassinate the strong, political leaders, and military officers among humans in advance.
This can greatly avoid our clan's casualties and lay the foundation for the victory of the king and our clan."
The Sword Demon squad.
Reji is very familiar with it.
In the first playthrough of the game, the Sword Demon clan had illustrious military achievements, with countless human commanders, prodigies, and even kings ultimately falling to the blade of the Sword Demons.
Reji did not expect that, after a thousand years, there would still be seven high-ranking Sword Demons left.
You should know, a high-ranking Sword Demon is equivalent to at least a human with "five moldings" lit in their life track, around level 70, roughly equivalent to a sect master, college dean, or a high-ranking commander of a legion-level force.
And it doesn't stop there.
After the Sword Demon spoke, Hektor shook his head.
The Great Demon, with his massive stature, stood up and voiced out to Reji in a deep tone.
"My King, let the vanguard duties be entrusted to our clan. Although only three high-ranking Great Demons remain in the Great Demon legion, we still have over fifty mid-ranking Great Demons."
"In a surprise attack, the Great Demon legion can help our race to capture the most cities before humans can react, securing the most victories for the king."
