AWB Chapter 454 Brave, Demon King
Chapter 454 Brave, Demon King
In the city of Rezewitt, Miss rearranged the anti-magic barrier on behalf of Cocoxi.
Back inside the World Tree, the captains of the Holy Knights reported the casualties of this battle.
After listening to only the first half, Miss felt as if someone was cutting his flesh with a knife.
Even though the Paladins won a complete victory in this battle by annihilating the Demon King's army, their own casualties were not optimistic.
Not only that, the next war will only be more difficult than this one.
"It seems that I have to ask Xilai to help the paladins update their equipment."
Miss muttered to himself in a low voice, and was heard by Celes and other captains.
They were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.
"What's wrong?" asked Miss.
Serles stood up and said, "Commander, that... the equipment update thing, is this a joke?"
"Huh?" Missy was stunned.
Serles explained: "Commander, the cost of updating the equipment of nearly 300,000 people is not a small amount even if it is based on the lowest standard."
Mis waved his hand and said, "How is that possible? You think too much."
Hearing this, all the captains breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me tell you, it's obvious that we heard it wrong."
"That's right. How can we replace the equipment of nearly 300,000 people just like that?"
"Without strong national strength, it would be impossible to do it."
Mis listened to their discussion and scratched his head.
"You may have misunderstood what I meant. I was talking about how it is possible to update equipment according to the minimum standards."
The captains were stunned, "Huh?"
Serles laughed out loud, "Are you kidding me again, Commander?"
Mis blinked his eyes. "Since we are going to fight against the Demon King coalition, we must treat them with high standards."
The current equipment standard of the Holy Knights Corps is already very good, far exceeding that of the knights of ordinary kingdoms.
But when it comes to fighting against the demons, it is still not enough.
Equipment updates need to be at least two levels higher than the current level, with an emphasis on increasing magic resistance.
The reason why Miss wanted to do this was entirely because of what Avervanxon said not long ago.
Both people at the table have revealed their cards.
Although Avervanxen has not explicitly stated that he will join forces with the demons, the current situation seems to be no different from a partnership.
There is no shortcut for Miss to defeat this godlike senior.
The Demon King's coalition must be repelled first, and they must be crushed with absolute superiority.
Only in this way would he be able to fight back when attacked by Avervanxen.
Miss knew that he couldn't defeat the Demon King's coalition alone.
He needs help and he needs an army.
"Not only do you need to update your equipment, you also need to adjust your team configuration."
"Dealing with the demons is different from dealing with the humans. The current personnel configuration may be the strongest, but not necessarily the most suitable."
"I will teach you personally after this."
Miss said a lot of things, but the captains seemed not to listen at all.
Their thoughts are still stuck in the previous quagmire and they haven't been able to extricate themselves yet.
"Master, updating equipment requires a huge amount of gold coins. We may not have that much money..."
Mis was stunned for a moment, "Why are you still thinking about equipment? Don't worry, I have money."
Even after saying this, the captains remained calm.
"Commander, that is really not a small amount..."
Seeing this, Miss had no choice but to take out a small piece of black stone from the package and put it on the table.
"Don't worry about the money. I still have a large amount of black crystal magic ore, which can be used for your new equipment."
Amid the astonished gazes of the captains, he sighed and decided to explain it to them.
"First of all, you may think that we are fighting against the Demon King Alliance for the sake of the human race and for justice."
"I want to apologize to you first, this is not the case."
After hearing what Miss said, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
In their view, fighting against the demons is for what else but for the human race.
"This battle with the Demon King's coalition is actually for my own sake, so I must be responsible for you."
Miss glanced at each of the paladin captains one by one, his eyes full of sincerity.
"You may not know this yet, but I am not the [hero] like Guild Master Laelina that you imagine. I do not have the courage to fight against the entire demon race for the sake of the human race."
"My biggest characteristic is selfishness."
"Avervanxon is right. I only think about myself."
"I'm sorry to ask you to die for my own business."
"If you want to leave now, I won't stop you."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
After a long time, Serles, representing the captain, spoke.
"Master, our opponent is the Demon King Alliance, right?"
Miss nodded, "That's right, I won't bother you with the other enemies."
Serus exhaled, his eyes full of determination.
"Then there will be no problem, Commander. As long as you sacrifice in the fight against the demons, you are sacrificing for the future of the human race."
The other captains chimed in, "Thurles is right!"
"Commander, at this moment, there is no need to be so clear about the differences."
"That's right, Commander. You may really want to fight for yourself, but in our opinion, what you are doing is what only a true [brave] would do."
Faced with the crowd's calls, Miss hesitated to speak.
He didn't want to pour a bucket of cold water on them when they were all so excited.
He is now a genuine Demon King, and can never become the kind of "hero" that the Paladins talk about.
Meese himself was well aware of this.
What he is doing now is not standing on the human race's perspective to fight against the invasion of the demons.
Instead, he stood from the perspective of one demon king, fighting against another demon king.
