Just as Han Dong and the others stepped into the rat's nest.
The "fake" personally made by the old king had been sent back to the expeditionary force by the Magic Flute Messenger.
Even the "Eye of the Expedition" that gathered dozens of spiritual knights couldn't find any clues.
The fake came to the Demon King's Hall and directly reported the results of their investigation of Perugia to the Demon King's Captain, describing the details of the "outer city."
Let the siege forces focus on the "outer city" as much as possible.
Since "Han Dong and the others" returned safely and brought back information about the city, the expeditionary force's first siege officially sounded.
The Demon King personally signed the "Siege Book".
All the members of the siege army would leave their blood imprints on the siege book, and in this way, they would "sign in" to the war.
According to the initial agreement, the Lord of Perugia also made some concessions to ensure that all streets were completely open during the siege.
Finally, the "Military Index" of both sides was verified through the [World Rules].
When it was determined that the siege forces were less than or equal to the defending Hybrid Demons, the "Siege Book" was established.
If people who had nothing to do with the "Siege Book" intervened in this battle, they would be punished by the higher-ups (except for Han Dong and the others who were already in Perugia and recognized by the Lord).
That was it.
With the Knights of Misfortune – Third Captain [Arthur Demonized] as the commander, the expeditionary force's first battle sounded in Perugia.
The humans who had accumulated power for hundreds of years, equipped with "Power Armors" that matched their personalities, forced their way into Perugia.
Swords and guns.
Magic and technology.
The knights' various missions and skills honed for many years in the Destiny Realm were all used on the Hybrid Demons entrenched in the streets of the city.
The first large-scale conflict broke out in the mountainside area and ended with Arthur killing the butterfly rat artists entrenched in the depths of the streets.
However, the siege forces also suffered losses.
Although the selected siege troops all had excellent resistance on the 'spiritual level', they were still very weak.
There were still 11 knights who had problems.
The knights' eyes flashed with panic and they would murmur that their bodies were full of rats, and at the same time, they were gnawing on their brains.
Commander Arthur handed this group of knights over to the support troops for spiritual purification.
Considering the current momentum, the siege forces didn't stop at all and continued to head to the top of the mountain … Under the power of [Endless Energy], the siege efficiency was higher than expected.
However …
Some of the knights in the army smelled a weird aura in the streets and alleys of the ancient city.
The demonic creatures and even the Mantis Demons that they killed were behaving strangely. They didn't seem like they were fighting a war.
When the siege began, a large portion of the Hybrid Demons were not prepared at all. They were still on the streets or completing their works of art in their homes.
His attitude towards battle was rather 'passive'.
Compared to battle, he was more inclined to present his work to the expeditionary army.
A few of the Mantis Demons were even more obvious. Even when their heads were chopped off, they still had strange smiles on their faces. Long tongues protruded from their mouths as they used their last bit of life force to mutter, "You're right.
"Please enjoy my work!"
These murmurs carried with them the cries of rats, and they would often appear in his mind. At the same time, he would also recall the drawings of the Hybrid Demons.
For now, it was just simple sounds and images. There was neither mental pressure nor pollution.
If this were to continue for a long time, who knew what would happen …
…
In the inner layer, in the depths of the Rat Nest Ruins.
Innumerable rats with brains crawled here.
They're either individual entities.
Or a whole entity.
Or a living organ of an entity.
Or an external manifestation of the Overlord.
Accompanied by the sound of a flute, the Overlord's trusted follower, the Magical Flute Envoy [Truman Zorro], arrived.
"Overlord, the human siege army has broken through the streets of the middle layer in a short period of time. Even the Butterfly Rats that were hiding were killed.
It seems that the [World Rule]'s estimation of their strength is a little too low. Perhaps the technology that these humans control is not included in the rules.
The 'armor' on their bodies is a great threat to us.
If this continues, they will break into the [Main Street] at the top of the mountain one day earlier than expected. It will interfere with the Overlord's feeding plan. "
An ethereal sound was emitted from the mouths of these rats.
"The [World Rule]'s estimation can't be wrong. The faster they go in the early stages, the slower they will go in the later stages.
Squeak squeak …
The armor on their bodies can help them kill our people quickly. It can also help them get infected with the 'plague'.
Don't worry, when they get close to the top of the mountain, they will naturally slow down.
I have set up all the works of art on the Main Street. When the time comes, there will be 'experts' with rat brains to show them to the siege army one by one.
Those 'rats' buried in their brains in advance will completely explode at that moment.
Isn't this also a kind of 'screening'? Those humans who can resist and survive will have a 'rather noble' artistic brain. When the time comes, they will become the perfect food for me to touch the Mythical realm.
I can't wait to eat their brains. Squeak ~ "
"Yes, I will sacrifice everything to pave the road to the Mythical realm for the Overlord."
At this moment.
The rats crawling on the ground became slightly impatient. A voice in the form of a command came from their mouths.
"However, the four fellows who came to the [Inner City] are outside of my original plan. They are completely unaffected by any form of mental corruption.
I originally planned to swallow the brains of these four high-level humans in advance to increase my strength to deal with the human siege army.
Now, these four people have become a little troublesome.
Zorro, there is something I need your help with. "
"Overlord, please give your orders."
"These four fellows are going deep into my territory. I need you to use all means to delay one of them."
After saying that.
The rats crawling here used their tails and tongues to connect with each other. They formed a portrait on the ground — [Knight Charlie].
Envoy Zorro stared at the portrait and could not help but mutter, "This person … is very dangerous."
As a mature Hybrid Demon, Envoy Magic Flute had already noticed the difference in Charlie.
It was not just the difference in level.
There was a 'strange' aura emitting from Charlie's body. It was a dangerous aura that could make the Hybrid Demons tremble.
"That is why I need you to delay him for a while.
After I swallow the other three, I will deal with this special human knight alone. For this, I will grant you the control of the [Rat Nest]. "
After saying that.
A rat the size of an arm with a black brain directly entered Envoy Magic Flute's body and granted him control.
In an instant, the strength of this envoy's aura was higher than Scarlet Count.
