"What!?..."
The three apostles were both surprised and delighted.
No wonder the Demon King could still remain so calm. It turned out he had long discovered the weakness of these faceless people.
Hektor: "Your majesty So the weakness of these faceless people are plants?"
"No, it has nothing to do with plants. They were injected with the knowledge of the Hero from a thousand years ago by that Emperor. At the cost of losing their sense of self, they gained the Hero's techniques. But everything has another side. In other words, as long as we bring out new power, these faceless soldiers are no different from puppets."
After hearing Reji's explanation, the apostles finally realized. The previously wary and tense hearts could finally relax a little.
After all, when it came to "new power" different from a thousand years ago...
In fact, they still had quite a bit.
After letting Vielsia test it just now, Reji had already sent orders to the Demon Tower.
Calculating the time, it should be about right.
Just as Reji was thinking, several "rumbling" thunderclaps came from afar.
Thunder clouds began to fill the sky, and one after another purple giant birds soared from the mist at the top of the Demon Tower amidst the lightning and thunder.
As a demon race apostle, Vielsia was not alone.
The entire elf race was now an apostle race of the demon race.
And this was something the demon race did not have a thousand years ago.
Flocks of chimeras arrived at the battlefield from the air. Scorching fireballs, frigid breaths, and surging lightning condensed from their three heads and shot towards the faceless spiritual people below.
One after another, the spiritual warriors under the chimeras' air raid were like wooden targets. They had no idea how to defend at all. They all stood in place in a daze, stupidly being devoured by flames, frozen into ice sculptures by cold currents, and shattered into pieces by thunderstorms.
This was not the end.
At the same time, the earth trembled. The ground troops from the elf race, one after another forest treants wielding long spears, roaring druids with sharp claws, and even mountain giants as tall as small hills carrying ancient giant trees, also surged from the direction of the Demon Tower to the battlefield to provide support.
If one looked carefully, they could find quite a few beastmen figures mixed among them.
Because only in this way could all those faceless spiritual people be attracted away by the retreating demons, moving the battlefield out of the cities.
Otherwise, even though the faceless people only targeted the demon race, just the aftermath of the battle was enough to turn the cities into ruins and cause countless innocent people to lose their lives.
Thinking of this, Reji clenched his fists a little tighter.
He had thought of Sweep and thought that the Emperor would use this ability to create such a group of troops specifically to restrain the demon race. But he didn't expect the Emperor to be so ruthless to this extent. It was not just a small team or a legion, but applying Sweep to all humans.
Doing this was equivalent to instantly causing millions and millions of humans to directly lose their lives and become faceless puppets called Heroes.
However... Most of these faceless people were originally just ordinary people.
Even if they were instilled with the Hero's combat techniques, having techniques without power was useless.
So there must be a huge power source in the distance supplying them, allowing them to become pseudo-Hero warriors that greatly restrained the demon race.
And this energy source was obviously the only one left in the world.
Reji took the projection image urgently sent by Dian.
It was the anomaly of the Empire observed by the Sorcery Demon from afar.
From the projection, one could see that the entire territory of the Empire was now enveloped in a dazzling light.
This light was exactly the same as the one on those faceless people.
In other words...
That Emperor had used the entire Empire as fuel, burning everything of the Imperial citizens to supply these transformed faceless soldiers within the demon race now.
Reji closed the projection.
This was not some case of hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred yourself.
Reji opened another panel of his.
The Demon King's Fate Track.
Previously, by relying on the blitzkrieg to quickly conquer three-fifths of the world, the human civilization, which he tried his best to protect, still only had a 25% [Destruction Degree]. Now the value had soared to...
[The "Destruction Degree" of the world's civilization (humans) has currently reached: 63%]
