Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

Hicks fights in the normal human way, with 100,000 soldiers and rations for thousands of miles, and daily expenses of thousands of gold. Supply lines, logistics baggage, logistics supply troops, wounded casualties, and severance costs. Resistance in occupied areas, opinions of local nobles, distribution of mercenary loot, etc., etc. are all problems that come with it.

Then he saw an army of demons appearing on the opposite side.

This demon army started with a thousand people, then suddenly grew to more than two thousand! Then another fifteen thousand suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

This is what I know, and what I don’t know has no idea what happened.

To be honest, Hicks had already planned to drain the pond and take away every last bit of fish, slaves, treasures, and so on.

Hicks was puzzled, and then his puzzlement turned into fear from the bottom of his heart: Could it be that the other side really summoned a demon lord? This posture looks like it?

“…What what?”

So when Hicks received the letter in the former Reitz King City, he looked confused. It was called a king city, but in fact it was just a large stone stronghold. Its scale was not as large as the Juyi Hall of Chief Song, because the Juyi Hall was built by the 800-li Liangshan Lake in the novel + highway robbery, and its productivity was much stronger than that of the small Reitz territory.

But this is a hentai world after all, so it looks like a place where people live. Hicks was looking worried at the moment. But at this moment, he received a letter from Taimanin.

"Did the Taimanin bring a letter?"

"Yes."

66

The mercenary guard looked at the boss in front of him who was ready to run away at any time, and his mentality was actually very impatient: "Do you want to see him?"

"Of course."

"Oh." The guard had no rules at all and turned around and shouted to the door, "Okay, come in."

Then a woman with a slim figure - but hidden in a heavy cloak - walked in.

White cape, white hood, handsome, it doesn't look like summer clothes. Especially the Breton people are more "enthusiastic", they will never wear more than they can wear. This Taimanin looks a bit wrong when he walks in. Yes, this is the Taimanin cosplaying Assassin's Creed.

"I have brought you a letter on behalf of our new master." The woman said, handing over a letter. "If possible, please reply immediately - my master does not have much patience."

"...I really didn't know that an organization like yours could be trusted. Are we of the same ilk?" Even though I was engaged in arson, murder and looting, I despised demons and spies, so I was still a good boy: "Why, are you working for that demon now?"

"Yes, our new master is the demon lord - Levi." These words were spoken very forcefully, without any intention of concealing anything - because Levi said there was no need to conceal anything, and he sent out invitations to heroes and recruitment ads.

Hicks curled his lips. As a local noble, he could read. If he was an ordinary noble, he would be more likely to be illiterate. But who can blame the world of hentai for being so much better than the real world? Hicks opened Levi's letter, and the string of foreign farts on it made him feel uncomfortable:

[Demon Lord, I have recently received the king's order to punish the evil. The black beasts surrendered when the banner pointed south; Brittany surrendered. I now command a million soldiers and a thousand generals, and I want to hunt with you in Brittany. Together we will conquer the seven kingdoms, share the land, and form an eternal alliance. Please do not wait and see, and give me a reply as soon as possible.]

“?” He suffered from his lack of education.

I understand it, but what does it mean?

"...What does your demon lord mean?" I thought he wanted me to kneel down and surrender, but...what's the meaning of writing this?

"My master said," the Taimanin replied arrogantly, "If you surrender, I will guarantee you wealth and glory, and lots of gold coins! - I believe you also know that my master is the Void Demon Lord of the Warp! He has an endless army of demons in the Warp, and as long as the time is right, he will summon all his troops to descend on this world. The Dark Portal has been built in the former Dark Queen's capital, Renn, and more gold coins and workers are needed. Once the Dark Portal is successfully built, the whole world will surrender to the master. Now, tens of thousands of demons have gathered outside the city of Retz, ready to rush into the city and tear you into pieces at any time."

"...Heh, who are you kidding?" Hicks sneered and said, "Tens of thousands? If you had tens of thousands of demons, would you still come to negotiate with me? If you had tens of thousands of demons, I would stand upside down right now..."

"Don't be in a hurry to swear." The guard who came in reminded Hicks and muttered in Hicks' ear in a low voice for a long time.

"...Really?" Hicks was stunned, a little bit unbelieving.

"Yes." The guard nodded seriously, indicating: "Merchants may not be trustworthy, but the goods of the caravans will not lie."

"I..." Hicks felt a little suffocated, and then began to negotiate the salary issue: "Taimanin - what kind of contract does your master want to sign? Let me tell you, a soul contract is impossible, it's going to be..."

"No, my master has no intention of signing a soul contract with the mercenaries - he said he doesn't value the souls of mercenaries."

“?!?!” You look down on me?!

"He only provides gold coins." As he said that, the Taimanin took out... a small bag from his body.

There were 20 two-pound gold bars neatly placed inside - this pair of demon ninjas were really strong.

"Oh?" This surprised Hicks. What does this mean? I have been dealing with people who are human and not human all my life, just for the golden gold. Now you suddenly put the gold in front of me, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. It's like paying first when having sex. The prostitute is not used to it: Are you a newbie?

So Hicks is a little uncomfortable now - if the other party is just a novice, then the problem is easy to solve. But the problem is that the other party is not only a novice, but also the boss of the underworld... The chicken has to think twice before collecting the money.

"Of course it's easier to get things done if you have money - as a mercenary group, we accept that. But... what exactly do you want us to do?"

"You have already obtained these two plots of land, Retz and Nantes. The owner means that you can take the money, but you must leave the people and the land behind."

"...?"

"Also, your next target of attack is the Kingdom of Waner."

"...?!?!"

"Your people will have one day to prepare to leave for Vannes." Taimanin continued in a commanding tone: "In the wild, you will encounter the master's 3 void demon army - these demon armies will not attack you, and will be 12 leagues ( kilometers) or more away from you. They will follow you all the way to the border of the Kingdom of Vannes. Once you get there, the void demon army will leave, otherwise, they will attack you."

"...Time is too tight." He looked at the gold bars in front of him and said, "Also, you can let me go, but you can also let me attack - these gold bars are not enough."

"Take down

67

Vannes, and three hundred pounds of gold coins as a reward. My master will not pay attention to you if you recruit soldiers locally, and plunder is fine. But if you kill someone, the master will charge you for every head you kill. "

"...I don't know what your master is thinking as a demon, but I'll take this job." Trading with demons? It doesn't matter, demons are not a completely rare species. As a fantasy continent, there are countless races: "But there is one thing I don't understand: why doesn't your master let me kill people?"

"If you don't kill one, the master will lose one soul." Scare you! "Besides war, blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice and skull sitting! Even if one living soul is lost, the master will ask you for it!"

"……!!!??……I see."

————————————————————

"Do you... want to buy Retz and... Nantes?" Olica didn't quite understand the orders Levi gave during the day.

"Why rob when you can buy? Why fight when you can have peace? After all, I am a devil." Levi said that he was a devil, patted the other's back affectionately and said: "The world is a beautiful place, and it would be better if there was less killing."

"But... is this possible? Let these adventurers serve as mercenary vanguards... and attack Vane?"

"Nothing is impossible. Gold is more useful than soul contracts. As for attacking Vana... I am a devil after all." Levi said that he is a devil.

Then he gently stroked the other's smooth back and put him down from his body. It seemed that the other person was out of breath and had no strength to do anything else, even though he had rested for ten minutes. Sigh... there was no way, he had been crawling on me for so long, it was time to get up.

"Bo!——"

"what……"

With a cry, Olika was pulled out and placed flat on the side.

"Want some water?"

"...I just drank." Olika said no, he was full.

"I didn't ask you." Levi was unhappy. How could he say that? "I asked Ashaji."

"It's okay..." Ashaji lay on the side, looking even worse than Aolika. But... she seemed to have the time to care about others: "I want a glass of water... Thank you. Aolika, even if you are weak now, can you hold it tighter? - Tsk, when you slowly shrink to normal, the sheets will be completely wet."

You see, the days are more harmonious, and we can discuss daily trivialities together afterwards, just like friends...

"It's okay, it's okay." Levi quickly made the quarrel disappear, saying, "I'll just carry you to the other bed later. I've prepared everything in advance..."

"Hmph, another bed? Ah, that one is ready—but it's too close."

"? How can it be close on the other side of the room..."

"It got wet anyway."

"…That's because you have good physical strength."

"Don't blame me, it's Ashaji's fault!"

"But the friends 'outside' probably need a few more drinks." Taking the cup of water handed over by Levi, Ashaji gently rubbed her belly and said with a frown: "Your soundproofing is really poor!"

"......? No? Isn't it well soundproofed?" Levi was puzzled and asked, "Olica said that a soundproofing magic was used..."

"Yeah, you can't hear what's happening inside from the outside." Ashaji pointed to her ears and sneered, "I'm a ninja, I can hear the outside from the inside, and I can hear it very clearly - including the sound of the stumbling escape now, 1, 2, 3... Oh, that's quite a lot."

"...Don't delay the work." Levi said that he was a black-hearted owner of the means of production: "Tomorrow I still have to take over Reitz and monitor the movements of those mercenaries."

"Don't worry, I'm fine - and those girls won't be in any trouble either. Unless... they used strange props on each other."

Chapter 28 All the powerful countries miss me!

Why would a bicycle repairman hate a breakfast seller? Why would a pedicure man hate a barber? -- So, only between colleagues can there be naked hatred.

"What kind of devil is he! He is not allowed to kill, seduce, or ..."

Of course, people in the same industry are enemies. You are not the only demon in the world. It is good enough for one demon in ten thousand to be promoted. The probability is even lower than that of being a 25-year-old.

A few demons with bloody flags from the old hell gathered together to complain. As the ancients said: When a dragon walks, there is rain; when a tiger walks, there is wind. There are a few flies on the cesspool, a few vultures on the corpse, a few demons in hell, and a few Americans in Ukraine. Is this not too much? Why are you reacting so strongly?

In a suburban ruin, several demons were complaining to each other.

"That's right! Life is hard these days, with all kinds of different beliefs fighting each other. Demons also have to participate in wars to defend their beliefs. My brother just participated in a war against angels last year and died. Woohoo, let me tell you, my sister-in-law is so beautiful. My dad said that my son likes her very much now. When my dad dies one day, I will try to see if what he said is true."

Look at this conversation, it’s really hellish. Of course, hell must have a prototype: Bai Zhenhua’s family is like this.

"Ah? Is that so?" Several demons looked at the ethical joke of the demon in front of them and laughed out loud - they were not afraid of losing 20 years of merit for laughing, anyway, they were in hell now. Looking up is heaven, but they laughed and couldn't laugh anymore: "Where did you come from?

68

Why are there so many demons here?"

"Yeah - suddenly over 4000 demons showed up over there, and it seems the number is still growing. They keep replacing one after another, and they obey orders. Is this... the Lord of Hell coming?"

"The Lord of Hell has this much military power, why not fight in Hell? Why come to the human world? It's so dangerous."

"You don't understand. The hell rolls too hard. It's better to go abroad and have a better life."

"Hey, I can't stand hearing that. I'm here to earn extra money, and I have to send all the gold coins I earn to Hell. There are so many people in Hell, and every time I go back, I can see my wife giving birth to me several more times. How happy she is."

"No matter what, this is wrong. These days I have been waiting for news from my hometown - no lord of hell has been dispatched, let alone... He doesn't look like a demon at all, and everything he does is wrong."

"Could it be..." Suddenly, a demon shuddered and muttered something that no one present wanted to hear: "Could it be that a certain Lord of Hell secretly wants to start a bloody battle?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the demons fell silent and started to worry together.

bloody battle.

Similar to the Christian holy war and Islamic jihad, it is a kind of race + religious war. Of course, because of the addition of racial war, its destruction often means complete genocide, so the rationality of bloody war is a level higher than that of simple holy war and jihad, similar to the rice field republic in the pit and the rice field republic with urination and defecation everywhere.

This kind of bloody battle is initiated by the evil camp, generally speaking, including but not limited to a hot-headed act. Today, the Lord of Hell is in a good mood, so he started a bloody battle for fun. I watched a dog-food show and posted a comment saying [Kill me to cheer up the two protagonists] It's the same principle.

But for ordinary demons, it's another story. All frontline demons are cannon fodder, but because of the bloodthirstiness and madness of their race, it's hard to control themselves once they are infected by the battlefield - to put it simply: simply addicted, the ultimate enjoyment. Similar to the excuses you make when playing games, "A high", "I got addicted", "I was careless", "I overestimated the opponent", "My".

But the game can be resurrected, but the real world cannot.

"Is it really a bloody battle?"

"4000 demons are out in force. My informant told me yesterday." A demon stroked his fangs worriedly. "The enemy has taken control of the entire Dark Elf Kingdom, and all the elves inside have become blood sacrifices. These 4000 demons are just the beginning. They will continue to summon demons. The reason they don't let us kill them is because they want to keep every soul for their own sacrifice."

Everything I say is the truth.

This was used to fool the adventurer army yesterday, but the demons took these lies seriously.

"Ah? Is there such a devil? The one above is doing this, so why doesn't he give some soup to the one below? He keeps all the benefits for himself. No, I want to report him!" A little devil exploded instantly! "Women are not allowed to do it, men are not allowed to have sex, and people are not allowed to kill. What kind of life is this? No, I want to report him! The devil has two mouths. After feeding the one above, he should also feed the one below, right?"

"It's useless to report it. Who should I report it to? I heard that—" another demon said mysteriously: "This Lord of Hell wants to sacrifice the entire Brittany to build something called the "Dark Gate". It will open a direct passage to hell, and then..."

"?! How can this be possible? Only when hell is sealed off can we, the traders, have a future! The hell passage has been opened directly, what should we do? - No! We must stop this!... Otherwise, let's report it to the angels! Lead the angels here, and this hell passage will not be opened!"

"That makes sense. Let's retreat first, then write a letter to report it to the angels! Let the angels take care of it."

"Okay, okay, I'll make one last buck."

"We've made an agreement, so don't be a thief."

A group of demons are very happy. If the hell passage cannot be opened, it is the business of you, the Lord of Hell and the army of hell. What does it have to do with us ordinary little demons? Besides, even if the angels come, they can't find anything on me.

--------------------------

Levi was very happy because he had established two more tribes. At this rate, his tribal guards could reach an astonishing 3000 people - 4500 people including mercenaries.

What does 4500 people mean? I'm not exaggerating, this is the total number of teachers and students in Levi's original school. If you compare a city's education system to hell, and compare the principals of various schools to the monarchs of hell, then Levi is already the best among the high school hell demons, and he is directly vying for the title of university hell monarch.

Of course, none of this matters.

Every time Levi arrived at a regional administrative unit, he would establish a tribe there to house his demons. These tribes basically had no value in existence. They were just a tribe that built a Tuyuan Mountain Fort similar to a summoning altar (P company altar?). A mountain fort provided about 4 teams of 150 guards (subspace demons?). Now Levi has built four similar altars (Tuyuan Mountain Forts).

Each one costs money, so there won't be much point in building more.

so nice.

A group of tribal buildings have been added to the feudal system. The main income of the feudal lord is agriculture, and the main income of the tribal lord is plunder. The feudal lord needs to call the tribal leader "Master".

By Tribe

69

The leader directly leads the feudal lord. The tribe leader is a minority race, but he rules the local people with high pressure, changes the local culture and traditions, and uses military force as his method of ruling.
