Just capture the dwarven craftsman, that's enough. Books? What use are books?!
It's good that the fever has stopped!
It's important to know that not all demons study magic.
Only highly magical demons, who rely on magic, would engage in its research.
Those demons who are born with powerful bodies and only need to train their combat skills, through hard work and sweat, don't need to read books.
Even if they never learn to read, it won't have a significant impact on their lives.
They only need to hone their physical bodies throughout their lives, while high-magic-power demons need to study magic.
"Don't worry about how to find information."
"We have ten thousand brave warriors!" Lycorina replied with a smile. (Weeping)
They couldn't conjure large quantities of metal out of thin air, nor could they overcome various limitations to manufacture the equipment they needed, but... Lu
It's simply remotely accessing information; no materials are needed, and there are no insurmountable technological barriers. (Six)
All it takes is the combined abilities of various heroes!
This isn't the first time this has happened!
……
The last week of the first month of the third year since the birth of the Holy Hero.
The members of Nightmare who remained in Nightmare Earl City saw their master again after two months.
Those who remained here were not only some members of Nightmare, but also some elite warriors.
And Lana, the Dragon Warrior, has remained here and has not left.
As one of the heroes with the highest magic resistance, she is the most suitable person to stay here and suppress this group of high-magic-power demons.
After meeting with An Yi, she also went with her to the location where the Nightmare members were active.
This is one of the "studies" on the sacred mountain.
“What has happened lately?” Annie asked the succubus Kanna, sitting in what was essentially a makeshift office made of wood in her “study.”
The person who usually stays here to coordinate and manage is Kanna, who has communicated with Lana. She is also one of the more calm and rational succubi among An Yi's confidantes, making her very suitable to stay in this city of knowledge.
"Reporting to Master, firstly, the level 20 succubi of [Nightmare] have already gone to the various earldoms. Currently, there are still nearly a thousand level 13 succubi left here, waiting for Master to bestow more magic power upon them."
We have also dealt with the various lords' requests to expand their territories..."
"Is it a demand to occupy the territory outside Baron's City?" Annie asked.
“Yes, Master,” Kanna answered truthfully, then remained silent, waiting for Annie to continue.
The demon race expands outwards at a certain rate every year, something that humans can all observe.
Those responsible for expanding territory are only some of the lowest-ranking demons. Only when they find that they cannot expand further will they send out higher-ranking demons.
However, due to the appearance of the [Chaos Demon], the nobles are currently unable to focus on expanding their territories.
"Have you already investigated what methods the demon nobles used to expand their territory?" An Yi asked.
Lana, who was standing to the side, was also staring at An Yi. She had been here the whole time, so she knew more information than An Yi, who was in human territory.
She already knew about the demon nobles' methods of expanding their territory, but she hadn't told the other heroes yet.
After all, Lana learned about it from [Nightmare].
Nightmare's methods are beyond what other heroes can achieve, especially in investigating various intelligence; the succubus's mere presence is enough to draw the entire demon race's confession.
The heroes kill any demons they encounter, and the Chaotic Demons, as a clandestine organization, have not made contact with other demons.
On the contrary, Nightmare gradually obtained a lot of information that would be difficult to obtain under normal circumstances as its strength increased.
"Yes, Master, the current investigation results are..."
Different lords would use a variety of different methods, and basically each lord had to figure out their own solutions.
Some rely on space-type demons to teleport lower-level demons, while others drive lower-level demons out of their territory, or simply order lower-level demons to occupy human territory.
Another common method is to encroach on human territory through the natural growth of low-level demon clans. "Kanna replied solemnly.
No lord would typically personally go out and expand his territory.
If it weren't for the presence of lower-level demons, and they had to fight on their own, they might take pride in expanding their territory.
However, if there are low-level demons present, they won't lower themselves to fight on the border.
Let's not even talk about the fact that the outside world is just a bunch of weaklings that even the lowest-level demons could defeat. Why would they, as demon lords, do the work that low-level demons do?
When they discover a powerful enemy on the border, they become even less willing to face it.
Interestingly, the task of expanding territory was actually given to the marquises.
The role of marquises in the task of expanding territory was;
He ordered the demons under his command to expand their territory.
Then the count ordered the viscount, the viscount ordered the baron, and the baron sent out some low-level demons.
Some marquises would also order some space-type demons to deploy lower-level demons, but this was limited to orders.
That's all I can do.
They would never go to those remote border territories in their entire lives, and even if they occupied them, they would only provide them for low-class trash to live in.
They didn't care at all whether the lower-level demons had a place to live, nor did they care whether the barons and viscounts of any place lived or died.
They found out at different times, even before the task of expanding their territory was completed.
Some of them could be notified directly by their subordinates, while others were reported up the chain of command.
The entire demon race is adhering to four words—
Flexible standards.
Just like how each place has its own unique characteristics and policies.
"Now, these marquises have handed the task over to [the Chaotic Demon]."
Our current approach is to use charm on most of the lower-level demons to spread false information.
Although the territory of the second rank has not expanded, it can mislead the nobles of the upper four ranks into believing that the [Chaos Demon] is expanding its territory outwards. "Kanna said.
“But this will expose us sooner or later,” Lana suddenly said from the side.
She had always been uneasy about this, because a little investigation by the demon nobles above would have revealed that the Chaotic Demons had never cared about territorial expansion at all.
Even the Chaotic Demon had no idea about this.
Aside from Nightmare Earl's City, the Chaotic Demon cannot be found anywhere else.
This is the only city that the "Chaos Demon" has truly declared conquered; the other cities were only conquered in practice, but without acknowledging the conquest.
In numerous viscount and baron cities, the Chaotic Demons are invincible; their mere existence is enough to suppress all local demon organizations and even lords.
However, the Chaos Demon did not admit to ruling these cities; he merely claimed to have been invincible throughout the entire city.
【Nightmare Earl City】 is the only earl city currently under the rule of 【Chaos Demons】.
While the previous nine viscount cities were also recognized as under his rule, when the Nightmare Viscount was promoted to Nightmare Earl, those territories became part of the Nightmare Earl Domain.
The Chaotic Demon can only be found in the Nightmare Earl's City.
But it was only Marquis Griffith who would approach them; as for the other nobles, they really didn't have the authority to manage the nobles under the other marquises.
But... because the reach of the Chaos Demon has extended too far, Marquis Griffith feels immense pressure.
Once he reached the rank of Marquis, he was directly backed by the Grand Duke, and the other demons could only condemn him.
Marquis Griffith had to adopt a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude and ignore these condemnations.
Even the Nightmare Earl can't control this!
He'd only met him once, and the other person wasn't afraid of him, so how could he possibly control them?
Should we just go down and slaughter the [Chaotic Demon] guarded by the giant dragon?
It's hard to say who will slaughter whom at that time!
The fact that the Nightmare Earl didn't retaliate by attacking his Marquis's city is already a great act of mercy; what can he do about it?
“Once exposed, these nobles will probably send even stronger demons to attack human territory,” An Yi said.
In his past lives, there had been instances of demon kings' servants destroying human cities.
First and foremost, it's important to understand that the royal servants were not nobles.
The seventy-two royal servants were all individual beings, without subordinates or families.
Therefore, they may not act according to the normal thinking of demons.
For example, although they can order any demon noble of marquis rank or below to carry out a mission, if the mission is slow, they will personally investigate the progress or simply do it themselves.
If they were to be tasked with expanding their territory, they would first issue orders to the nearby demon nobles, who would then carry out the orders.
However, if a long time passed and they went to find these demon nobles again, they would discover that the mission to expand their territory had made no progress.
The royal servants had varying temperaments, so whether or not they would anger the royal servants is another matter.
The top priority for the servants of the King of Souer would definitely be to find ways to speed up the completion of the mission.
This acceleration might be an urging;
q could also mean personally carrying it out.
They are a group of demon king's servants who are independent of the entire demon race system, and they do not follow the normal rules of the demon race at all.
The good thing is that, so far, no royal servants have received any missions to expand human territory.
Currently, no royal servants regard humans as enemies, and they don't even know what humans are.
but……
Considering that the lack of territorial expansion could easily expose the situation, this approach is not a sustainable solution.
In the previous era, humanity adopted a strategy of ceding territory, allowing humans to retreat to safer areas, exchanging territory for human safety.
Liu, and in this life, it has already been said that humanity will not give up an inch of territory!
