"Puff~Puff~Puff~..." The sharp blade flew past, and the demons waiting to be reborn were grabbed by the demon horns on their necks by the Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
In the town square, after Mu Hua's passionate speech, nearly a hundred people signed servant contracts with the devil and gained psychic powers. In order to create an atmosphere and to prevent the gathering of ghosts from making the scene look too evil, Mu Hua specially moved the Eye of True Vision away.
When these people who had acquired psychic powers reunited with their family members who had turned into ghosts, they had already heard about how difficult it was to deal with demons, and they were secretly afraid of the demons that had become their servants.
A team of skeleton undead stabbed their sharp blades into the bodies of the demons, and the demons' screams and curses aroused the crowd's suspicion.
The next moment, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers were seen pulling the demons, dragging them to the fountain in the square amid the demons' screams and curses. Even the stronger Horned Demon Marshals among them could only twist their bodies weakly in the hands of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
Amid the sounds of leather being cut and blood splashing, the demons' throat arteries were cut by the sharp blade, and the blood flowed into the fountain pool. Tricia, a wandering witch who was already well known to the residents of the town, stepped forward and threw some magic materials into the fountain, activating the magic circle carved with the fountain as the center.
The strong smell of blood was replaced by a strange fragrance, and the fountain with the statue of the Faceless Man standing in the pool turned into a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.
"Now, your master is completely safe." Mu Hua muttered. After a moment of silence, under the deliberate guidance of some people, cheers of humans rang out in the square.
Surprise turned into understanding, understanding turned into relief, and relief finally turned into excited cheers.
A group of demons that have lost their usefulness in front of them are undergoing brutal bloodletting, and the humans watching this scene seem to have reached the climax of the celebration.
Human beings, sometimes, are really a crazy race.
Some people, when it comes to their own interests, or when they think their own interests are involved, many of their usual behavioral norms will be selectively forgotten temporarily.
"You are free. The ghosts can sense things from you. If they feel uncomfortable, the door of the Aqua sect will still be open to them. And you will no longer be threatened by the devil's servants." Mu Hua said to everyone amid cheers, receiving their thanks.
Of course, whether it was cheering or thanking, it was inevitable that there were people in the crowd who were deliberately guiding the group.
Incitement is an important part of popular support, and it always has been.
Among the first group of people who signed a contract with the devil, there were members of the Dandelion Team.
"From now on, you can continue your previous life, practice and study, and try to hunt demons in the courtyard."
"If you obtain the corpse of a demon, you can apply to use this blood pool to refine the corpse demon. They will be good carriers of ghosts."
"The city of Caines is your home, a home that needs your management and protection. I hope you won't forget this." As the voices faded away, Mu Hua raised his arms and shouted, again eliciting shouts of approval from the crowd.
Stuck in the crowd, looking at these people who were in strange emotions, several vampires in the academy frowned and looked at each other. They didn't like this atmosphere, and they didn't want to stay here anymore.
"Haha, very nice picture. How about the title of Demon Slayer Begins? If he goes to attack Caines Courtyard, he can use this as the beginning of the legend. He only needs to modify some voice acting, right?"
Odysseus cheered like crazy with the crowd, but his focus was a little problematic. When he spoke to Ingrid beside him, Ingrid's eyes twitched slightly.
Only a part of the people from the city of Cairns gathered here, and this event was not officially announced to the outside world.
After finishing what he needed to do, Muhua walked down from the podium, and then a group of Knicks officials came on stage to talk about the resumption of work plan and local special regulations that the city of Cairns would officially promulgate in the near future.
After having the skeleton warriors throw all the dead demons into the fountain-like pool of blood, Mu Hua quietly left the scene.
It's okay to show up occasionally, but Mu Hua is not prepared to do the job of a politician.
The development of Caines City will be taken care of by others in the future. No matter whether the northern nobles are in power or not, he is still an honorary noble who does not participate in the administration.
The city of Cairns is so big that he cannot even keep up with all the trivial reports from all parties, let alone control and management. For a period of time, Mu Hua may just build up his own power around Bear Pig Town.
A group of people who were directly related to Mu Hua scattered around the square, observed people's reactions to various events, and then quietly returned to the Deman Hotel.
Taibetha reported some of the situations in the square to Mu Hua, and then led the members of the Dandelion Demon Hunters away.
They also have to go to the Pangard Crater to hunt demons. Taibetha is trying her best to acquire the key to the Pangard Courtyard. For a period of time, they may have to stay in that courtyard.
Odysseus was very concerned about Taibetha's brave proposal, and he even wanted to make a fuss about Taibetha going to Pangard to hunt imps.
The girl led a team to hunt demons in a place hated by humans and ghosts for the sake of her belief. She experienced a difficult growth and finally met Mu Hua. Together, they challenged the demon king of the Courtyard of Caines. Tuo was so upset when he heard this. "Odysseus, it's fine for the strategy team to follow the brigade and make strategy videos, but I don't need to cooperate with other brigades."
"If I start to attack everywhere in the courtyard, you need to convince those brigades first. Not to mention the conflict with us, if they withdraw from this courtyard, we will not be able to deal with the monsters in the Caines courtyard."
Back at the Deman Hotel, Odysseus, Ingrid and Mu Hua gathered in the suite on the third floor. They didn't pay any attention to Melinda who came to join in the fun. Mu Hua said to the passionate Odysseus.
"Damn it, I'm old and I'm fed up with the strategy team. I want to do something big. Maybe we can cooperate with the Kingdom of Galaposo?" Odysseus said irritably.
The reason why the Caines Raiders Group was formed was because Odysseus thought he was dying and wanted to do a favor for Webster.
He has been running the strategy team for half his life, and now that he has "escaped", it is hard to say whether he is old or not. He has somewhat let himself go and does not want to do the work of connecting various parties anymore.
If he forms a strategy team with Mu Hua, he will be fighting monsters with real swords and guns. This guy has wild ideas and wants to elevate his career to become a real brave mentor.
Well, that’s right. If Mu Hua is willing to do it, he is also ready to become a member of the strategy team and play himself. He is a dragon knight...
"Garaposo can't take over the Cains Courtyard. Have you forgotten that Tennyson's nickname is Hoard Rat? That guy occupies the front half of the courtyard at most. He definitely won't attack the Bloody Hill." Ingrid poured cold water on the side.
"Why are you getting involved in this?" Mu Hua didn't know much about Tennyson, but was curious about why Ingrid was so enthusiastic.
"If you really want to be a hero, count me in as one. Even if I become a princess, the empire can at most give me a fiefdom in a certain courtyard. It's better for me to fight for it on my own." Ingrid said seriously.
"..." Mu Hua looked at Odysseus in surprise. Odysseus spread his hands, indicating that this had nothing to do with him.
Ingrid is now a princess, and if she wants to become a prince's daughter, even if she cannot give birth to a child with extraordinary talents, she must hook up with a powerful adventurer.
This may sound harsh, but in the upper class, this kind of thing is not a difficult topic at all. The term "socialite" is appropriate but may still be controversial, while the word "marriage arrangement" has infinitely beautified everything.
As for those girls who have no background and still think they can compete with others for "resources", haha...
Mu Hua couldn't figure out Ingrid's true mentality, but if it was the strategy team that Odysseus had predicted, there was no need to figure out Ingrid's mentality. They just formed a team to colonize, and life and death were left to fate.
"We can slow down the process and select an area first," said Odysseus.
"How many cities can you build with your wealth? Don't make a fuss. One area is at least equivalent to a province. We don't have that many people to guard it for the time being."
"Unless you give all the land to other adventurers, if you are willing, I will help you find an area to plow the front half of the courtyard even if I have to spit out three liters of blood." Mu Hua rolled his eyes and said to Odysseus.
Mu Hua is now quite confident in his ability to cause destruction, but he cannot take construction and development for granted.
It is not difficult to understand that the projected monsters can still descend upon the courtyard after death and will seek revenge on those who killed them.
Occupying a courtyard is not something that can be done overnight. Even if you have overwhelming strength, it is often easy to end up in a tug-of-war.
Even if Mu Hua really killed all the Goblin Kingdom from beginning to end, and then waited for the Goblin King to return to Hell to catch his breath, either monsters would appear everywhere, or the Goblin army would move south from the Bloody Hills.
Conquering a certain area usually requires a long and protracted war, until you have bankrupted the monsters in the area and made them unable to afford even the projection sacrifices. Then you can probably just occupy the area and develop with peace of mind.
Building a few human cities for joint defense, developing a few farms to supply daily necessities, and setting up a few arsenals can also be considered as a guarantee for continuous combat, right?
Who will do these things?
"Okay, you should just lead your raiders first and be a good princess of the empire. Wait a minute, I've also been spawning high-level undead recently. Once the situation in Caines City stabilizes, you can consider giving it a try."
"Let's go quickly. I'm going to the Warcraft Courtyard to catch a few flying dragons and raise them." Mu Hua said to Odysseus and Ingrid.
Odysseus curled his lips, quite disappointed with Mu Hua's attitude, but Ingrid didn't care, she was not obsessed with this matter.
After driving away Odysseus and Ingrid, Mu Hua opened the portal to the Warcraft Courtyard. He really intended to go to the Warcraft Courtyard to take a look.
He signaled to Melinda beside him whether she should follow him, but Melinda made a gesture of please go ahead with an inexplicable taboo and left the suite in a flash.
The Witch of the Temple said that she is now allergic to the word "dragon". (End of this chapter)
