Chapter 667 - Things Are Starting to Look a Little Bad (2/2)
“All right.” Roland agreed after some thought.
Andonara’s strength had improved greatly again. After getting his Fire Element Enhancement specialty, she was quite a bit stronger. Now that she had received the Phoenix’s essence, her strength had increased even more.
In the entire main plane, of all the mortals, probably no one could defeat her.
It was not a problem for her to protect Stephanie. Besides, the two of them were friends, and it was good to get together occasionally.
Roland immediately teleported back to Delpon, and after giving some instructions to Vivian and the vampire Christina, he took Andonara and teleported back to the First Princess’s manor.
The two friends hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and when they did, they were both bouncing around, happy as could be.
On the other hand, Roland went to the basement below the manor to experiment with magic using the facilities left behind by the First Princess’s ex-husband.
At the same time, he took the time to look at the news on the forum.
On the Realm of Devils side, Roland didn’t want to care about it much for now.
The players joined forces with the Guardians of Light and instead of going straight to attack Paimon’s main city, they began to divide their forces and sweep around.
Any demon that was not a succubus was killed when encountered.
When they encountered breeding cities, they directly broke through to save the humans. And when they encountered succubi, they captured them and took them away regardless of whether they were willing to follow the players or not.
If any resisted quite hard, they were beaten to tears until they submitted and then taken away.
Now, this whole expedition to the Realm of Devils had changed in nature a bit.
Previously, it was a battle for humanity to fight back, a battle of faith for Guardians of Light.
Now… it had turned into a battle of interests.
As the players caught more and more succubi and as more Mages learned the magic contract, two-thirds of the players had gotten their beloved partners.
Then many succubi were also sent over to the Guardians of Light.
These succubi would be brought back to the Holy Realm by the Guardians of Light and then sold to the nobles of the capital at a high price. This way, instead of losing money, the expeditionary force would make a ton of money.
The dead and wounded soldiers would also get more compensation.
This was Schuck’s strategic decision.
Although there was a slight conflict with the Light doctrine, Roland believed that there was no conflict with the goddess’s philosophy. The so-called doctrine was just human speculation about the gods, and not all of them were completely correct. This decision was well received by the Guardians of Light.
At this moment, Paimon, sitting in his palace, listening to the information gathered by the devils, was also speechless.
He had thought that he would soon have to watch the Golden Sons and the Guardians of Light join forces to attack his city.
But he waited and waited, and he received information that the Golden Sons and the Guardians of Light were running around catching succubi.
Then his three views were shattered.
Succubi were a lower-middle-class race in the Realm of Devils.
They had average strength.
There were quite a number of them.
They were the third most populous race.
The first was the fiery imp, and the second was the bone devil.
The demons in the Realm of Devils had always treated the succubi as a tool for venting, and no one from the higher races had ever wanted to marry a succubus.
Never!
Even the philandering male version of Phoenix had never laid a hand on a succubus.
He would rather have a quickie with a multi-armed Naga than a succubus.
And then such succubi became a treasure for humans who were desperately trying to capture them and convince them to submit.
Didn’t the humans know that the succubi had an inferior bloodline?
Didn’t they know that succubi only gave birth to succubi, and it was almost impossible to have a mixed child?
They still wanted them?
Even as a Demon God, having lived for hundreds, almost thousands of years, Paimon was a bit confused.
As he wondered, the voice of Sidi came from the mental channel. “Damn, more and more succubi are outside of my mental perception. Paimon, give an order to stop the succubi from going out, from contacting the humans. They have to stay in the city or I’ll lose a lot of strength.” Paimon was not in a good mood and finally got a little upset when he heard the semi-commanding tone. “Sidi, are you telling me what to do?”
“You’re dead heartless. Who do you think I’ve suffered so much for?”
“All right,” Paimon said, taking a deep breath. “I’ll give the order in case you start bickering.”
“You…” Sidi got rather upset and decided to withdraw all the succubi under her command immediately.
At this time, another voice appeared in the mental channel. “Paimon, Sidi, is your plan not going too well?”
“Is there any good news on your end?” Paimon frowned.
“It’s good indeed.” Judas smiled happily. “I took advantage of the fact that the human army was attacking the city here. I secretly sent a few Heartless Demons who are good at hiding through the portal, and they made a trip to the capital of Fareins.”
“What’s the situation on the human side?” Paimon asked.
Judas laughed. “The Golden Sons’ troops are almost all in the Realm of Devils, then the Church of Light is rather lax right now. These heartless demons have done something big, guess what?”
“Assassinated the Pope of Light or the Holy Lady?”
“They corrupted a Saint Samurai. Can you believe it?”
“How’s that possible!”
Paimon and Sidi exclaimed at the same time, with a look of disbelief.
And at the same time, Stephanie got the information that the king had sent over, and after a glance at it, she also exclaimed in this manner.
“How’s that possible!”
Andonara, who was sipping her afternoon tea, looked up at Stephanie with a slightly puzzled expression.
And Lady Bluebird, who was sitting next to her, jumped up in shock at Stephanie’s reaction.
A pair of chest plates bounced up and wobbled slightly.
Quite bouncy and elastic!
