Chapter 211 Demonic Strategy
On the other side, the demon king Antipas also received a request for support from Noam.
"After preparing for so long, Noam still can't take down those humans?"
Antipas sat on a throne covered with the fur of some unknown animal, tapping the armrests with his fingers, his face as dead as water.
"We were about to break through the human camp, but a saint suddenly appeared behind the enemy. Since the saint entered the field, the mental shock commanded by Noam seemed to have lost its effect."
The soldier knelt on the ground and introduced the current battle situation to Noam.
"And humans seem to have discovered that the descendants of the demon god and humans corrupted by the blood of the gods cannot leave too far away from Noam's command, so they are constantly shrinking the front line and concentrating their forces to defend the camp. Now relying on the firepower of their artillery, they have already reached a stalemate in the Golden Spike Plain. Commander Noam wants to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the resistance of the gray-collared people, so he refused to retreat and ordered me to ask His Majesty for help."
Antipas nodded, stood up and looked out the window at the howling north wind.
In order to study the flesh and blood of these demons, Antipas even gave up enjoying life in the Surd mining area and returned to this bitter and cold place to take charge of the rear.
There was nothing wrong with Noam's decision. Doug had been asking the population to concentrate in the Golden Ear Plains in order to maximize the combat power and defeat the gray-collar workers in one fell swoop.
As long as the Gray Collar is defeated, Antipas can rely on the flesh and blood of the demon in his hands to ensure that the demons can occupy a large area of the north in a short period of time. At that time, the demons will be able to be completely liberated from the shackles of the eternal permafrost.
The rise of the Gray-Collar was too rapid, completely disrupting the original plan of the demon clan. Antipas was also very concerned about the Gray-Collar's technology. The magic train alone made Antipas feel very uneasy.
To be honest, the blood magic of the demons has both advantages and disadvantages. Although Antipas has always claimed that the demons are a magical race like the elves, the difference is that because of the blood magic, the demons' magic technology has always been not very good, and they are very short of talents like alchemists and rune masters.
After all, it is extremely difficult to ask demons who are born knowing only one kind of magic to understand and master the operating principles of magic. Most demons only know one kind of magic until they die, and the proportion of demons who can learn other magics is much smaller than that of professional humans.
But Antipas didn't care at first. He thought that demons who could use blood magic were nobler than humans. Antipas really thought so at first.
This is the inherent arrogance and ignorance of the demons, but it is also the inherent inferiority of the demons. It is precisely because they never defeated humans in the past that they can only use this kind of spiritual victory to comfort themselves, force themselves, and emphasize that they are nobler than humans.
Antipas originally looked down on magic technicians such as alchemists and rune masters. Even if the demons only knew blood magic, so what? Would they still beat humans? If they were high-level, Antipas might have taken a closer look.
But the emergence of gray-collar workers completely changed Antipas's view. When Antipas came to his senses and planned to win over technical professionals among humans, he found that the real technical masters looked down on the demons, and the first choice of scattered technical professionals was also gray-collar workers.
So Antipas changed his strategy. Since the demons couldn't figure out the technology themselves, why not just steal it from others? In any case, the demons in history had always done this. When humans declined or they were no longer able to defeat them, they would steal their things.
As long as they defeat the gray and white-collar workers, they can use public opinion offensives and a large amount of money and assets obtained through exploitation to attract those technical professionals from the human race and keep them as their dogs. They can also directly snatch the ready-made technology of the gray and white-collar workers. After all, it will become theirs in two generations.
With the flesh and blood of the demon god, these ideas may not be impossible to achieve.
But before that, the main force of the Gray Collar must be defeated. Only by defeating the main force and making the Gray Collar weak can they take advantage of the opportunity. Therefore, Antipas's initial instruction to Noam was to defeat and weaken the Gray Collar's army.
As long as we can defeat the main force of the gray-collar army head-on, we can start looting directly, and it would be best if we can seize the technology of the magic train.
There was nothing wrong with Noam's decision, and he had been carrying out Antipas' instructions.
At this time, the soldier kneeling on the ground continued to report: "Your Majesty, not only that, there seems to be a strange potion in the human army. After the Devil's descendants come into contact with it, they will pause for a short time and lose connection with Noam's command for a short time."
"But the reserves of these potions don't seem to be very large."
The subsequent soldiers reported some situations on the battlefield, allowing Antipas to fully understand the current situation.
"Since there aren't many potions, there's no need to worry. Although our research on the flesh and blood of the demon god is very limited, it's impossible to mass-produce potions that can fight against the offspring of the demon god."
"I already know the situation. Tell Governor Doug to be ready. Don't kill him accidentally. He is still useful. After we win, we will need a puppet to help us rule the area where humans are. Now let him continue to help us open the support route. I will arrange for troops to support him."
Orders were issued one after another from the luxurious palace built by Antipas. It was crucial for the demons to truly defeat the main force of the gray-collar army. Even some demons who retreated from the battlefield for various reasons were pulled over, including Daniel.
Daniel is now heading towards the battlefield of Golden Spike Plains via a road that he is extremely familiar with.
Most of the demons on the road were relatively optimistic. After all, they had received the battle report that the gray-collar human army had been defeated and had entered a stage of desperate resistance. All they needed to do was to get to the front line and give the fragile humans the final blow.
The leading demon commander even excitedly promised the soldiers when they set out that the battle would be over before winter, and then everyone could spend the winter in the comfortable human territory.
This made the demons extremely excited, and they were talking and laughing all the way.
The same goes for Daniel. Although he is always ridiculed by the demons around him and is called Daniel with a broken brain, Daniel no longer minds it and even takes the initiative to play the clown to entertain his comrades.
Although Daniel was only responsible for some miscellaneous tasks such as logistics and battlefield communications, and was not qualified to swallow the flesh and blood of the Demon Lord, it was a good thing for Daniel to be able to return to the battlefield. There was never a shortage of opportunities to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.
To be honest, Daniel was a little surprised how those humans stopped the great descendants of the demon, but never mind, Daniel knew the power of the descendants of the demon, and even the terrifying group of nuns he had imagined might not be able to defeat the descendants of the demon.
Daniel was even somewhat grateful to those humans who fought desperately and gave him a chance to make a contribution. As long as he made a contribution, he could completely get rid of the fantasy of that terrifying group of nuns.
