Diris, the most rational general in the Annihilation Legion.
"General Diris, are we going to go there in this outfit?"
"Not only do you have to wear this outfit, but you are also not allowed to carry weapons."
Before entering the plane where the holy spirits were, Diris gave instructions to his subordinates.
"This... General! The descendants of the God-Eating God will skin us alive!"
Diris only brought four guards with him on this trip, and there were only five of them including him... In the past, whenever the Annihilation Legion descended on any plane, the number of soldiers that descended would be more than fifty, and only then would it be qualified to be called a legion.
At best they can now be considered an elite annihilation squad, or a small group
But this time, Diris went to the Holy Spirit's plane not to go to war with the Holy Spirit, but to recruit them.
"Our battlefield is on Black Tide Island. Our enemies are Spellthieves, Abyss Followers, Planar Pirates, and Blood Rage Followers... How many times do I have to tell you? The Holy Spirit is not our enemy but our potential ally. The Annihilation Legion used to be the most steadfast ally of the God Devourer lineage."
Diris repeated to his subordinates...something he had repeated thousands of times.
“But they are the descendants of the God of Devouring Gods.” When the subordinate of the Annihilation Legion mentioned the Holy Spirit, there was a hint of fear in his voice.
"Before this operation, I contacted my mentor. Those holy spirits are very kind but greedy. Moreover, they do not have any stance. At most, they belong to an organization called a guild."
Diris patiently taught the four guards under his command. They were now wearing proper aristocratic robes and had no weapons in their hands.
This does not look like the attire of a soldier of the Annihilation Legion who has conquered countless worlds. Instead, it looks more like the attire of a good-for-nothing noble who is going to a cocktail party and spend a lot of money.
They are not useless... they are the best warriors around Diris, and these cotton clothes will only make them feel very uneasy.
"Your mentor? The immortal Eternal One?" the soldier asked.
"Yes... My mentor has already asked several guilds in the Holy Spirit for me. The elites among them have expressed great interest in the power of our Annihilation Legion and are willing to work for us in the form of our 'mission commission'."
Diris came here this time with full confidence, and the confidence came from his mentor, the Eternal Thorne.
According to the information from the Eternal Thorn, the Holy Spirit is a group of very contradictory creatures. They are cunning and ruthless, but they will abide by some promises called "missions", and they will stand up to protect the weak, but when facing powerful enemies, even if the opponent stands on the side of justice, they will ruthlessly wield their butcher knives to kill them.
Diris believes that this group of capricious holy spirits are candidates for recruitment, because they will do their best to complete something called a "mission", and as long as the reward given to them by this mission is good enough... they will complete it in the most efficient way.
Moreover, Diris heard from his mentor that the power of the Annihilation Legion can raise the upper limit of the Holy Spirit called level, which is something that the Holy Spirit absolutely cannot refuse.
Thorne told Diris many things that the holy spirits desired, and Diris could provide them all and even brought a lot.
The premise is that he... must never let the Holy Spirits feel that they are hostile!
Therefore, all emblems related to the Annihilation Legion were hidden in Diris's attire, and he even did not allow his subordinates to carry weapons. If there was any danger, it would be enough for them to just flee into the other world.
"The Spell Thieves have joined forces with the Abyss. Those Spell Thieves have even tracked down the second Chaos. Our first goal here is to capture the 'Mark of the Abyss' released by those Spell Thieves. The second is that we need the power of the God of Devouring Gods to defeat them. After we descend to the plane of the Holy Spirit, we are absolutely not allowed to attack those Holy Spirits, even if those Holy Spirits attack you! Do you understand? All we can do is escape!" Diris gave a final death order.
The Annihilation Soldier who had raised the objection earlier broke out in a cold sweat, but finally nodded reluctantly.
"Very good, let's meet up with my mentor first. He has been with the Holy Spirit for dozens of days and knows better how to move the Holy Spirit."
Diris used the power of the Annihilation Legion to shatter the barrier between the two worlds, and the scene of the Flower Square appeared before his eyes.
He led his soldiers and jumped into the space-time rift...
"This plane is made of steel and machinery. Doesn't the God of Devouring Gods completely control this plane? Or has she already established her religion in this plane, so there are so many followers who are holy spirits?"
Diris looked around at the empty streets of the Flower Square. He was wearing a very decent dress. From the player's perspective...
Judging from his appearance alone, he is definitely a merchant who sells some hidden equipment, provided that one ignores the large scarlet mark and name on his head.
That is 'Captain of the Annihilation Legion, Diris, Level: 64, Lord-level creature, Annihilation Body.'
There is a big skull in front of the name, which means it is very difficult for players to fight against him.
Di Ruis glanced at the empty streets of the Flower Square. From his impression, there should be many civilians stopping on such a flowery street.
But he couldn't see a single civilian, and the world was filled with the breath of the God-Eating God.
"As expected, the God of Devouring Gods has devoured the useless people in this world?" Diris murmured.
"Isn't this something our great Lord of Annihilation would do?" The Annihilation soldier looked around for the Holy Spirit. He didn't want to be ambushed by someone when he walked into the street.
"We are all the same. This commonality makes it possible for us to form an alliance."
Di Ruis suddenly heard the sound of swords colliding in the Flower Square. He thought about it and walked towards the Flower Square. When he walked into the Flower Square, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
Dozens of powerful Holy Spirits gathered around a ring, cheering for the duel between two figures on the ring.
One is his revered mentor, Thorn the Eternal, and the other is the Holy Spirit holding a green lightsaber.
The attack granted by the godhood of the God Eater was raging on the battlefield. Thorne was unable to dodge and was cut on the cheek by the sword. When Diris saw this scene, his face was replaced by excitement.
The Holy Spirit, who can be completely destroyed even by the laws of the Eternal, and this group of guys who have mastered the godhead of the God Eater are the most terrifying destroyers on the star map!
What made Diris even more excited was... the fighting skills of the Holy Spirit Warrior far exceeded his expectations. At least he was able to injure his mentor, which was a record enough to brag about on the star map.
"Damn it! Why is there a red-named monster here?!"
"Ah? Don't scare me, big brother. It's already past eight o'clock. There are no monsters in the back world. Could this brother be a red name? There have been a lot of PKs in the back world recently."
"We are in the Great God Field here, who dares to PK here?"
"This is really a red-named monster! There's a skull next to it! And it's a monster that we can't defeat at our level!"
The arrival of Diris gradually attracted the attention of the players who were originally watching the fight between Thorne and Caramel. In an instant, the players watching beside the ring focused their attention on Diris and the group of guards behind him.
The three soldiers of the Annihilation Legion had already prepared to fight the Holy Spirit, but Diris raised his hand to signal them not to act rashly.
"Great Holy Spirits, I am Diris Kenseni... a businessman from afar." He began to narrate to the Holy Spirits an identity he and his mentor had created, which was more useful in hiring these Holy Spirits.
"What kind of businessman is this? Such a big prefix of the Annihilation Legion. Is there a bug in the system?"
"What kind of bug is there with the red-named monster? Just chop it up, bro."
"Wait! Wait until he finishes speaking before you cut him."
The showdown in Fanhua Square has become lively again since Juan Canyun won four consecutive victories and dominated the world. The players watching and challenging Thorn are all high-level players from the eight major guilds.
These high-level players still have quite a bit of self-control.
"I hope to be your guard. Of course, I will not let you down in terms of reward." After briefly introducing his background, Diris took out a bunch of items from his backpack... items that flashed orange light in the player's perspective. "These are rare treasures from various planes. If the great saints are willing to accept my employment, these will be given to you as rewards."
The players near the Flower Square looked at each other... everyone was wondering what kind of hidden mission or hidden reward this was.
At this time, Jia Nai Wu Jia, who was dressed in a nun's uniform, walked past all the players and came to Di Ruisi.
"Lost travelers from afar, you have forgotten one thing." Add milk without extra charge said in a voice full of holiness.
"Even if we kill you, these things will still belong to us!"
