All the members of the Devil Realm team gathered in a room in the Hearthstone Tavern.
"Why did you summon us here?"
The Venerated Skeleton sat on a chair impatiently. Today, his body was covered in a golden robe.
This robe could completely hide the undead aura on his body. It was a creation of the High Elves. For humans, it was equivalent to a precious relic.
The owner of the robe was, of course, the Blood Duke standing next to Josiah.
"Today, your opponent is the Axeman. En … a team with a strange name, but I checked the Heaven Ladder score of their team members is not high."
Josiah finally did what the team's coach and manager should do, which was to inform other team members about the next round's opponent.
"I watched their previous qualifiers. They are just a group of lucky guys."
The Venerated Skeleton had no patience at all today. He was still thinking about the game where he was killed by the Iron Forger at the beginning.
Therefore, the Venerated Skeleton couldn't wait to find those guys to repay the blood debt in the Noland Open.
As for the other opponents … the Venerated Skeleton really didn't consider it.
"Well, I'm not here to analyze tactics with you today. I'm here to emphasize the purpose of Devil Realm's participation in the Noland Open."
"Let those humans worship your sister?" The Venerated Skeleton also knew the original intention of this team. "Then, what you should do now is to let her go on the field and kill the enemies. Let those humans surrender with absolute strength!"
"My original idea is actually the same, but now there is a problem. The Noland Holy Spirit Open … has now developed into a competition based on countries."
Josiah turned his head guiltily as he said this, but the Venerated Skeleton, the Blood Duke, and other members present did not understand Josiah's meaning.
"Although many teams are mixed with players from various countries, judging from the current strength of the teams, the teams established by the national officials are more likely to enter the top eight."
"What are you trying to say?" The Venerated Skeleton interrupted Josiah directly.
"In short, it is the best choice for Fuya to join the Iron Forger now."
Josiah finally made a proposal that might get beaten up by the Venerated Skeleton.
"Josiah, the stories you told in the past were quite interesting, but this time …"
The Venerated Skeleton lifted the hood covering his head. The pleasant frequency of the soul fire in his pupils told Josiah that he was not happy now.
"I agree."
The Blood Duke, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up.
"Father."
Pestle, a member of the squad, couldn't help but stand up.
Fuya could be said to be the core of this team and also their strongest combat strength. If she were to be given to another team just like that …
"Our goal in participating in this competition is to gain the faith of the humans, not to win the championship." Master Fresh Blood gestured for Pester to sit down.
"The Holy Ghost Open is already equivalent to a war."
The Blood Duke recalled the situation he had encountered in a tavern last night.
Mercenaries from two different countries almost fought each other because of a dispute over which team from their own country would win the competition.
From this point alone, Josiah's purpose of holding this competition had been achieved. The contestants of each country had gambled on the honor of their country to participate.
"In this case, no matter how strong the enemy country's general is, will you worship him?" asked the Blood Duke.
The Blood Duke had explained Josiah's thoughts very clearly. In this case, the Holy Ghost players supported the contestants with their country as a unit.
If Fuya participated in the war as a representative of the Demon Realm, it would be difficult to collect more worshippers because there were not many Holy Ghost players in the Demon Realm.
But if Fuya joined the Iron Forger, she would participate in the war as a representative of the Iron Nation. Fuya's performance on the field would be watched by all the citizens of the Iron Nation. She could become the hero of the Iron Nation.
"Humans are a race that will always admire the strong. As long as we crush other humans on the battlefield …"
The Venerated Skeleton also recovered from the anger of being defeated by the Iron Forger. But judging from her wishes, she hoped to defeat the Iron Forger with Fuya.
"In fact, with Fuya's charm, she has already gathered a group of admirers. The problem is that if she fights with other countries, she can gather a bunch of die-hard fans faster. That's why I gathered you all here to discuss."
Josiah took out a whiteboard and placed it in front of everyone. Then, he wrote Iron Nation on the whiteboard with a fluorescent magic marker.
"The Iron Nation is currently the most populous country in the world. According to statistics, the Iron Nation citizens who visit Noland are also the majority. So, if Fuya joins the Iron Forger, she can collect a large number of Iron Nation believers at once."
After Josiah wrote this, he glanced at the Venerated Skeleton. Although there was no flesh on the Venerated Skeleton's face, Josiah could subtly see her dissatisfaction from the pulsation of her soul fire.
"The second is the Land of Frost. The queen is only hostile to the Silverfrost Fox Family of the Land of Frost. So, there is no problem for our team to participate in the war under the title of the Land of Frost."
When Josiah made the second proposal, he really wanted to add, "I'm super familiar with the current king of the Land of Frost."
"The third is to be absolutely neutral and participate in the war as a pure player … But this will lead to a situation where no one will be pleased. After all, the Holy Ghost players of various countries still hope that their country can win," said Josiah.
"Your Highness Josiah, what do you think?"
The Blood Duke didn't dare to express his opinion on this choice. In this regard, Josiah was far more professional than him.
"My idea … is that we simply participate in the war in the name of the Kingdom of Saint."
Josiah wrote the fourth possibility. This possibility made the team members who were still thinking fall into a sluggish state.
In order for Fuya to collect believers faster, they had to participate in the war with the identity of other countries. The Venerated Skeleton also acknowledged Josiah's proposal, but Josiah's third suggestion was even more excessive.
"Isn't this directly helping the enemy?"
The Venerated Skeleton's voice was no longer angry. It became serious and cold.
"Helping the enemy?" When Josiah heard the Venerated Skeleton's question, he coughed slightly to cover up his smile in this way.
"In the case that Fuya's true identity is a secret, I am confident that I can mold Fuya into a hero of the Kingdom of Saint. Their people will regard a demon as a hero. With Fuya as a breakthrough point, I can use the magic net to gradually change the views of their country's people. But even without Fuya, I am still trying."
When Josiah first faced the Kingdom of Saint, he also considered trying to completely overthrow their religious system. If the magic net covered the entire territory of the Kingdom of Saint, it would be easy for Josiah to do this.
It was just that after Heroria came to power recently, the Holy Maiden had realized the power of the demon Josiah, so she chose to cooperate with Josiah instead of treating the demons as enemies like the previous regime.
"Since you appeared in Noland, the reputation of the Kingdom of Saint in Noland has been mostly negative. This will affect the existing group of admirers of Princess Freya."
The dark elf, who had transformed into a crow, appeared at the edge of the window at this time. She had already heard the things Josiah discussed.
"Your Highness Josiah, your proposal is just … interesting." The dark elf saw through Josiah's thoughts at a glance.
