Chapter 221: Hero Party, the Strongest External Help of Grand Tonitas Fortress (Part 1)

Translator: The Light

Editor: Kenny

Clyde used an evil summoning ritual magic array of the Dark Church to create a teleportation magic array to teleport to the Ancient Demon King Castle, followed by his younger sister Lucifer, Ancient Demon King Andrisno, and Tinas in formal wear.

Among these three beautiful entourages of Clyde, Lucifer wore a dark red goth loli outfit with a blood bat’s outline drawn on it, which seemed to indicate her bloodkin Lolita status. She was also holding a small black parasol and had a relaxed expression on her face. She didn’t have any worries. This Lolita was fearless. In terms of combat power, she was only second to Clyde. She basically didn’t need to worry about any enemy threatening her.

Ancient Demon King Andrisno and Tinas wore pitch-black and grey demon king exclusive armors, respectively, which were thick and conservative types. Although the female Demon Kings were quite open in nature, these two female Demon Kings subconsciously thought that their entire being belonged to their new master, Clyde. Moreover, they also knew about the strange hobbies of their colleague, Ancient Demon King Philip. So, to not give him any advantage, they selected this type of armor that completely covered their bodies.

“Bo... Boss, why are you here? It’s not a big problem, just give me a few days to resolve it perfectly!”

“Not a big problem? Then, what’s up with your injuries?”

“This... I fell and injured myself when I was sleeping yesterday. It’s not a big deal, believe me. I’ll immediately capture Tonister City.”

“Oh, since it’s not a big deal, then I won’t pester it anymore. But you must capture Tonister City by today. It must not be delayed. If you fail to capture it, then you can only offer yourself as an apology.”

“Boss, wait... wait a minute, I remembered it wrong, it’s a big problem.”

When Clyde saw Ancient Demon King Philip in the castle located deep in Hamilton Swamp, Clyde almost couldn’t endure his laughter. The Ancient Demon King’s appearance was simply too funny. His right hand was wrapped in bandages, while his left leg seemed to have gone limp. Now, he was walking with the help of a crutch. Moreover, his originally handsome face was swollen as his forehead was also wrapped in bandages. Even after getting beaten like this by the other party, he still insisted on saying that there was no big problem. He simply was lying through his teeth. Unlike Clyde, Ancient Demon King Andrisno and Tinas weren’t polite. They covered their mouths and laughed.

Philip looked very embarrassed as he explained the reason for his defeat to Clyde. In the past, he had thought that defeating Earl Royle’s 30,000 human troops army with his 50,000 monster troops army was an easy matter. But who would have thought that he would be blocked outside of the city gate by the defense of the other side? He couldn’t even cross the boundary. The monster army was stopped some distance away from the Grand Tonitas Fortress. Moreover, he lost over 10,000 troops in vain without making any progress.

The Earl Royle’s troops stationed in the Grand Tonitas Fortress were miscellaneous soldiers. In terms of combat power, these troops couldn’t even compare to Earl Winissa’s troops, let alone Marquis Charles’ troops that Clyde had just defeated. Clyde couldn’t understand how Philip lost at the very beginning. He should have easily won this war; how was he beaten to this state?

After Philip’s explanation, it became clear. As it turned out that there was a mysterious external help in Grand Tonitas Fortress. Several heroes of the Human Race carrying holy and divine artifacts had taken the command of that place. Under their command, the originally chaotic and disorderly defending troops without any tactics had reborn as if rising from the ashes. All attacks of Philip’s troops were reflected back, and the troops were even injured by the hero party. This Ancient Demon King couldn’t stay still in the end. If he failed this mission, not only would he be unable to explain it to his boss, but he would also lose his face and dignity as an Ancient Demon King. Therefore, he attacked in person only to return crestfallen like his subordinates. And before he could finish treating his injuries, Clyde came to inspect the battle situation of the frontlines and had to witness this awkward scene.

The Human Race always had the Hero Clan. Allegedly, these heroes were the existences that received God Race’s blessing or Valkyries’ blessing, and some even got holy enlightenment. They would only be dispatched when evil would appear. Their stronghold was hidden in a secret location on the Ximengsi Continent. As for the specific location, even a valkyrie like Cynthia didn’t know. She was not the valkyrie in charge of this matter. Moreover, she didn’t care about it and had never blessed any hero. Mostly, these heroes were dispatched by the Light Church to deal with undead calamities, and the Hero Clan must show consideration for the Light Church’s face and prestige. Therefore, they wouldn’t rashly make a move. Generally, they would only deal with the calamities that the Light Church had no time to intervene.

It was relatively hard to defeat a Demon King even if the heroes had divine and holy artifacts, especially an Ancient Demon King. It was a great test of the hero party’s team cooperation. Most of the time, they could just barely repel a Demon King. Since Philip was beaten so badly, it only showed that he was a true waste. Clyde didn’t want to open his mouth to say it out bluntly. He picked up Philip and assigned him this mission to test him. But it seemed like a bigger problem now.

“Philip, did you make a battle plan for this battle?”

“Yes, boss. This is the general battle plan commonly used among the Demon Kings. What’s wrong? Could it be that there is a problem?”

“You... are you stupid? How can you give little monsters to the other party to level up?”

Clyde had a resentful expression on his face for Philip for not meeting his expectations. Philip’s battle plan was to dispatch low-leveled monsters first, then the high-leveled monsters. The other party could easily defeat low-leveled monsters to gain experience and level up. By the time high-leveled monsters would be dispatched, the hero party would have gained sufficient level to deal with high-leveled monsters. If this had continued, Philip would not be so far from death.

This battle tactic was described euphemistically as the ‘cannon fodder tactic.’ But to Clyde, this tactic was just sending experience to the opponents, like adding oil to the fire. Many Demon Kings used this brainless tactic. No wonder that they were beaten by the hero party in the end. It was obvious that they were confident in defeating the hero party. With blind confidence, they arranged low-leveled monsters to deliver experience and equipment. It would be strange if they won.

“Boss, I... this subordinate is stupid, please teach me.”

“Forget it, it’s not impossible to teach you how to become a qualified Demon King. Give me the commanding power, and dispatch the highest-leveled monsters first tomorrow. Your colleagues will also bring their subordinates to support you. At that time, directly blow off Grand Tonitas Fortress in one wave.”

“Boss, isn’t that too disgraceful? Dispatching Demon Kings together...”

“Why does it matter if you can win like this? Is losing not disgraceful? As long as you win, it’s fine. Everything else is irrelevant. Could it be that the other side can form a group but we can’t form our own group?”

Under Clyde’s teaching, Philip woke up as if awakening from a dream, and he seemed to have understood the key issue. Ancient Demon King Andrisno and Tinas behind Clyde also seemed lost in thought. In the past, they also used this tactic like Philip. If they were in charge of attacking Grand Tonitas Fortress instead of Philip, they would also have adopted this same military tactic without a doubt. The only difference was that their strength was far superior to Philip, so they wouldn’t easily suffer under the siege of the hero party. Clyde’s teaching also made them realize as they seemed to understand that his words were true.

The number of heroes stationed in Grand Tonitas Fortress was unknown. Their abilities and the equipment they used were also different. According to Ancient Demon King Philip’s personal experience, the hero party had at least one divine artifact and several holy artifacts. It was quite tricky to deal with them. So, when forming a group to prepare for the war, not only Ancient Demon King Andrisno and Tinas, even Undead Queen Lafania and her younger sister Cursed Queen Mephis were summoned to participate in the war. In addition, Lucifer and Clyde themselves also stepped forward as the final lineup to guard against the opponent’s trump card. If the Demon Kings in the frontline were to meet with an accident, they could immediately provide timely support.

After the arrangements were complete, Clyde used the dark energy to heal Philip’s injuries, which moved this Ancient Demon King. He took advantage of the moment when Andrisno and Tinas weren’t paying attention to quickly report a secret intelligence to Clyde. He was quite skillful in this. Those who didn’t know Philip would think that he was a spy when he was conducting a secret intelligence deal with Clyde.

“Boss, there are women among those heroes, and their figures are excellent. I’m absolutely certain that they are top-notch products. I can guarantee it.”

“Cough, cough, why are you paying attention to this kind of useless information? Did you forget that you were sealed by a female hero in the past?”

“That... that was an accident. Boss, believe me, I’m quite confident in this type of matter.”

“Fine, tell me your plan in detail.”

Although Ancient Demon King Philip was useless in combat power, he was still very good in some aspects, such as he was not inferior to Clyde in the study of gentleman’s path. Clyde happened to share a similar interest with him. Therefore, Clyde temporarily decided to listen to this Ancient Demon King.

After the secret conversation between Clyde and Philip was over, he made Andrisno and Tinas remain here on standby and prepare to meet Undead Queen Lafania and Cursed Queen Mephis. As for himself, he grabbed the little hand of his younger sister Lucifer and disappeared into the night. The war would resume tomorrow. So, tonight, he wanted to personally visit Tonister City to determine the main opponents for tomorrow and get detailed information on the hero party.
