The demons seem to have the ability to "corrupt" or "assimilate". It is not known whether the assimilation ability is useful for golems, and it is not known how long the "healing period" will last after the demons are assimilated. In short, this battle cannot be separated from the help of a large number of elf wizards.
Besides, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Yang Hao needs to understand the current military situation of the Bayerzas Empire, and he needs to understand the ecology of the demons.
Only by knowing the demon's weaknesses could he develop weapons and equipment specifically targeting the demon during a tight preparation period.
What's more important is that after the demons were annihilated, the restoration of the country was declared.
According to Theresa, each "Purple Royal Family" has the power to raise or lower the city -
But the problem is that the former territory of the Bayerjans Empire has either become an important town of the Roman Empire or a woodland completely covered by the Monster Forest.
The rise of the city is bound to seriously affect the change of terrain, but more importantly, the food, drink, defecation and urination of these millions of people is a serious problem.
Millions of people, millions living deep underground, have made almost no preparations for the winter, and at most have some food reserves. Moreover, those underground mushroom farms may quickly wither due to the strong light brought by the rising sun, so that the population will lose the ability to be self-sufficient in a short period of time.
This is the most serious problem... After all, no matter how much food the elves store, it takes time to transport it.
If there is less transportation at one time, the people of Bayerjans may not be able to eat enough and may even suffer from famine. If there is more transportation at one time, the elves' current manpower will be under great pressure...
This problem requires existing data to prepare... In addition to food, there are winter coats, firewood, and reconstruction work on the surface after the restoration of the country...
Yang Hao felt a headache: How can this be called "restoring the country"? This is actually just rebuilding an empire...
The difficulty was extremely high, and the pressure was also extremely high. He was glad that he took the initiative to take it, because he knew Theresa couldn't bear such pressure, and he realized that if Theresa said, "all cities will rise"...
Doesn't that mean that all the cities in the Roman Empire will rise at least several meters, not to mention causing damage to the structure of the portal
This would not only allow Gasson to get a lot of trouble in the Roman Empire, but also allow him to take the opportunity to rescue the little queen and the chief judge from the chaotic capital... Thinking about it carefully, with the Elf Kingdom and Bayerjans, his plan could indeed be advanced.
Although he couldn't retire even after rescuing the little queen and the president of the court, it was better than Theresa regretting her whole life and being haunted by nightmares.
"Qina, I also need data on the current food reserves of Gaparia and other aspects - send them to my office and classify them according to the elves' method. By the way, Finn is comforting Theresa, so don't disturb them now."
"I see."
Qinna nodded, then turned and left.
Yang Hao was looking at the door of the conference room in front of him. He knew that it would be another tough battle. Perhaps the Bayerjans would not hide anything from him, but the demons might be more powerful than he could imagine.
(After all, it took tens of thousands of demons to reduce the population of Bayerjans from 20 million to less than 1 million monsters... and this is even after accounting for the loss made up for by the normal growth of newborns.)
I hope that the Golems, the elves, and the demons can fight against those monsters.
With this thought in mind, Yang Hao pushed open the door of the conference room, where the old Eagle Flag Officer of Bayer Zhans was sitting solemnly waiting for his arrival.
…
On the other side, in the lounge.
Finn and Theresa looked at each other in silence.
"Should I congratulate you?" Fen muttered, "You've already been recognized as married? I thought it would take a few more years... But now, not only can the country be revived, but my life event has also been happily settled. I really don't know what to say."
"I won't let him swear to love only me at the wedding."
"ha?"
Watching Theresa muttering such words under her breath.
Finn, on the other hand, didn't know whether he should do something with the loophole he promised at that time...
But this is also good news - after all, Caparia and Bayerjans are brother countries. If the two countries can rule together, it will definitely be stronger than fighting alone again.
But in this case, the core bond between the two countries becomes that man...
She patted Theresa on the shoulder and thought this should work.
Chapter 5: Rebellion in the Roman Empire8K
In the reception room, Yang Hao sat in front of the flag-bearing officer, carefully looking at the weathered old soldier in front of him.
The standard-bearing officer was also examining this man who had a very close relationship with their purple princess.
The experienced old soldier thought that this man was probably the Purple Princess's guardian when she was away.
She looked a little older, but she was well-dressed, and wearing gorgeous elf clothes. In terms of status and etiquette, she was indeed a good match for their princess.
But then again, you should actually be the husband of Finn from the Elf Kingdom, right? The old soldier thought, if he was Finn's husband, then it would make sense for this man to stand on the same level of steps with them in the audience hall.
Just as the old soldier was thinking about something important, he heard the man say:
"Anyway, let me introduce myself - I am Yang Hao, the current regent of Caparia, and also the lover of your Purple Princess Theresa Justinian II."
"Ah, hello, I'm- eh?!"
What did you just say
The flag bearer's eyes widened suddenly: Princess Purple's... lover?!
At this moment, a formula was drawn in Lucas' mind.
Yang Hao = Regent of Caparia.
Yang Hao = Princess Purple’s lover = future regent of Bayerjans.
To sum up, Yang Hao, who serves as the regent of both Caparia and Bayerjans at the same time, will not only lead them to revival in the future, but more importantly, will make the two countries, which were originally brotherly countries, even closer.
When he thought of this, he immediately jumped up from the sofa. He hurriedly sorted out his clothes that he had already sorted out and had nowhere to sort out, then knelt on one knee and solemnly held up Yang Hao's boots with both hands:
"Forgive me for my lack of vision! Your Majesty, the Regent, please allow me to express my highest regards to you!"
"Let's skip this formality now." Yang Hao stretched out his hands to help the excited old soldier up. "Let me make one thing clear to you first - Theresa wants to restore the country. So you don't need to worry now. But we need to understand the situation underground. I mean, everything."
Lucas was so excited that his whole body was shaking, and at one point his eyes almost rolled back.
But in the end, he used his will as a veteran to resist the ecstasy in his heart, and after repeatedly rejecting Yang Hao's advice on the grounds that "as a subject, one should stand in front of the master instead of sitting", he stood in front of Yang Hao and tried his best to report all the information about Bayer Zhans to Yang Hao with all the knowledge he knew.
Where should I start? With the devil.
According to Lucas, in the existing records of Bayezid, the demons of the devil are intelligent creatures from another world that emerged from the "Great Rift".
They are bloodthirsty by nature but also have a sense of honor that belongs to the devil. Among the demons, they are roughly divided into three categories.
The most powerful and rarest "higher demons" who possess a large number of special abilities or specialize in a certain ability are what the Bayezids call "demons".
A demon larva that evolves from a larva.
and the larvae themselves.
Among them, "larvae" are like babies in the demon class. Unless it is the most desperate moment, the demons will properly protect their babies to prevent them from being harmed by humans.
The demon larvae are the product of the larvae's evolution after a period of feeding - at this stage, the demon larvae will display many unique abilities.
Their size varies according to the species, ranging from the smallest being the size of a child to the largest being the size of a yak.
At this stage, the average strength of the demon larvae is already stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. The smaller they are, the more agile they are. The larger they are, the slower they are and their impact force will be multiplied.
In terms of physical strength alone, the "young" is already a formidable enemy that Bayer's army must line up to fight. Moreover, the strongest part of the demons is often not their physical strength, but their "special abilities".
In the larval stage, the special abilities of most demons are enough to pose a fatal threat to the warriors of Bayerzas.
Whether it's the fireball spewing from the mouth, the poisonous needle with corrupting effect shot from the tail, or the summoning of the cone rising from the ground, or even the purple meteorite falling from the sky.
The demons' innate special abilities made the Bayerjans take great pains to deal with them, causing them to face a certain degree of casualties - but that was all.
If the demon army only consisted of young demons, the Bayerzas Empire would have risen from the ground long ago. The real killer is the "higher demons" at the highest level.
"Higher demons are the most powerful and threatening enemies this continent has ever faced. All higher demons have terrifying innate abilities—
Everything the Petrifying Demon gazes at will slowly turn to petrification, the Ice Demon can turn an area into an extremely cold place just by lying in one place to rest, the Fire-Breathing Demon can even ignite all flammable materials around it with a single breath, and its full-strength attack can temporarily transform the ground into aggressive magma.
Every time we conquer high-level demons, we lose a large number of elite soldiers. Fortunately, the number of high-level demons is not that large, at least if we calculate it by their population, it is really not that large."
“Can you give a simple analogy?”
Lucas pondered for a while and pointed to the snacks on the table in the reception room:
"If the whole house is a demon population, the number of young ones is the backbone, "the walls and the ground". The number of larvae is determined by the production efficiency of the "mother", which is "the furniture in the house". The high-level demons are the only snacks in this house."
Yang Hao looked in the direction of his finger and came to a rough conclusion: in the world of demons, powerful "high-level demons" are, in a sense, geniuses like the Night Witch or the Saint among ordinary humans.
In other words, the number of high-level demons is extremely small... But even so, there are still thirty of them below
Doesn’t this mean that…
“And outside of Constantinople, from what we’ve observed, the demon’s larvae and young have been reduced to less than 300,000 thanks to our efforts.
But as long as we fail to kill the core of the demon, which is called the "mother" demon, then the larvae and young can still be born continuously."
300,000? Yang Hao thinks the ratio of 300,000 to 30 is acceptable, considering that it is a constant "increase and decrease".
But what is this "matrix" demon
Faced with confusion, Lucas simply said that this was a record of the Bayezid Empire long ago.
During the Great Demonic Disaster, the demons will advance with the "matrix" as the core. The "matrix" is an extremely fragile but highly fertile demon that will give birth to demon offspring all the time, and there will be more than ten high-level demons around to protect it.
"Only one 'mother' will appear in each demonic disaster, and the 'mother' will only come out from large cracks instead of small cracks - after all, its size is said to be too huge.
From a distance, it looks like a moving hill. After being dragged underground by our ancestors, we roughly know where it is -
But it was stuck at the place where Constantine XII had a decisive battle with the ruling demon, and that was exactly where the core control console that controlled the rise of Constantinople was located... "
"What this means is that we have to deal with the demon now before we can raise Constantinople, right?"
"Yes. Great Regent, we must deal with the demons. If the demons appear on the surface, the consequences will be disastrous."
"So we have to add another condition - we must completely annihilate the demons underground before we can raise the city? Then how are the elves going to get down?"
"The core control console not only has a mechanism to control the city's ascent, but also a giant elevator that can land an entire army on the ground.
But that place must be extremely desolate now, it has not been maintained for thousands of years, and the roots of the demons have taken root... I can't guarantee whether the elves can withstand the shaking when the elevator platform descends."
"I think I know what to do. So, do you have any experience regarding the weaknesses of demons? And where will you meet us when the time comes?"
Yang Hao probably came to a conclusion.
This war will be centered around elven mages and golems, who will cooperate with elven riflemen in long-range combat.
The demons cannot intervene in this war. After all, judging from the demon abilities that Lucas mentioned, if the demons rashly intervene in the war, they will probably be defeated within two minutes of entering the battlefield - it would be more practical for them to carry out logistical work in the rear.
At that time, the Elf Rifleman can find a way to shoot specifically at the demon's "eyes" or weak points -
The petrifying demon seems to be able to petrify the surrounding area by "looking at" it, and other demons also have their own weaknesses...
Elf mages can use elven magic to annihilate the surrounding demon armies on a large scale, and they can also provide treatment to corrupted friendly forces as quickly as possible.
Golems will once again become the core of this war: Petrified Demons have too much effect on Golems, which are originally made of inorganic matter. Golems themselves are not flammable. Combined with the properties of Golem siege monsters, they will surely cause great damage to the "matrix"...
In addition, the half-elves in the Elf Kingdom can also be mobilized under the influence of their sense of identification with the Bayerzans Empire and become temporary archer troops to strengthen the military strength.
And after the experience of fighting side by side, they won’t face too many obstacles when integrating into the Bayerjans Empire or returning to the life in the Elf Kingdom…
Now all that was left was to find the demon's weakness? And how would Bayerjans fight alongside the elves
Facing Yang Hao's questioning look, Lucas said that Bayer Zhans would mobilize the entire country to forcibly break through the elevator surrounded by demons at the agreed time and forcibly create a safe position around it.
“If you let your army go down first, they will be surrounded by demons in the next moment and die miserably.
But if our warriors break through the position first, and then use magic to send a signal, you can sit back and relax on the platform when you come down, without having to worry about being surrounded as soon as you land."
"But in this case, what will happen to your casualties?"
"The Bayerjans are not afraid of casualties, Your Majesty. As long as we can win and as long as there is hope for our country, then we can tolerate the death of as many soldiers as possible when facing the demonic disaster."
Hearing this, Yang Hao was silent for a long time.
After knowing that this was the best tactic and realizing that this was indeed the truth and sincerity of what Lucas said, he nodded:
"I see. So, what is the demon's weakness?"
A respectable warrior. But now that the tactical plan is solved, what about the demon's weakness
"If I must say, it's the devil himself - to be more precise, it's a weapon made of the raw materials of the devil."
In response to Yang Hao's question, the flag-bearing officer of Bayer Zhans gave his answer without hesitation.
"ha?"
Yang Hao was stunned for a moment.
For a moment, I almost thought it was an unsolvable vicious cycle problem like the chicken or the egg.
…
Yang Hao and Lucas were confirming the underground intelligence, while on the other side, Black Dragonia was also confirming the situation in Ishugard with her presidential friend.
