Although demons hadn't brought any harm to mankind in the past ten thousand years, but from the few times that Warlocks had accidentally summoned abyssal demons, it was clear that demons were the mortal enemy of mankind.
Devils were also very dangerous, but at least they were much better than demons.
The difference between the two sides could be described as follows:
Demon: You're going to fall ~ Grandpa ~ Why don't you fall for me ~ Aiyaya ~ Why are you being so serious ~ Can you give me your soul? Today is the five thousandth anniversary of my opening, and there will be special treatment for signing the contract ~
Demon: Ha (kill), ha (kill), ha (kill), all ha (kill) …
Yep, that's right. Compared to devils, demons are mentally retarded beings who only know how to kill and destroy.
According to the records left behind by Prandal, there were at least three major disasters in human history that were caused by accidentally summoned demons.
The three disasters, or rather, the three world wars, affected the entire Prandal. Each time, the population of the surface races in the world was reduced by a third, and it would take hundreds of years for them to recover.
The cause of the three disasters was simple. It was simply because the demons were summoned and wanted to satisfy their desire to kill.
And this was only the recorded ones. There were many more unrecorded disasters, so as soon as he heard the news of the demons appearing, Pope Jesolini XXIII immediately took action.
"Did they suddenly appear because there was a Warlock deliberately summoning them?"
Tang En was having a headache dealing with this kind of * * * * * enemy because there was nothing to communicate with them.
"No, in fact, there are no traces of a summoning array there."
The Pope shook his head and said in a low voice, "Due to the division of the gods, there is a special barrier between Inferno and the surface to prevent devils and demons from passing through there. Normal power cannot pass through directly. Only certain summoning spells or the power of the gods can pass through that barrier."
"But what's strange is that the mercenaries found a bottomless rift valley nearby."
The pope looked at Tang En meaningfully. "You must know that half a year ago, there was nothing there. How could a rift suddenly appear?"
A thought flashed through Tang En's mind, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
F * ck, it can't be that coincidental, right?
The Pope looked straight at him. "There was some interesting news from the surrendered troops of Alinx. For example, the Lord of Ellington, Tang En, stabbed him with his sword, and then the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked …"
F * ck, it's really my fault?!
Tang En was confused. He couldn't pretend to be a fool even if he wanted to.
How could I have thought that the stab I used to show off would end up in such a mess?
Originally, the Gods had already divided the territories of the various races. Inferno belonged to the devils (the devils had other reasons, which will be explained later). In order to prevent the devils from interfering with each other, they had even specially set up a special protective layer in the earth's crust. The power of mortals was unable to break through it.
But as luck would have it, the weapon Tang En used that day was the super bugged "World Will".
The power of the World Will might have torn apart that layer of barrier. Then, nothing happened at first, but as time passed, some devils accidentally found a passage and drilled their way to the surface.
It was foreseeable that the longer the rift existed, the more devils and devils would find this passage, and the more dangerous the surroundings would be.
"His Holiness the Pope asked me to send troops to seal off the surroundings of the rift valley and search for traces of the devils. But you know, the current strength of the Irus Empire's soldiers is simply not enough."
Aurelia sighed and said, "When they encountered the devils, it was just a one-sided massacre. As for sealing off the rift valley, it's also very troublesome. According to incomplete measurements, the rift valley is 100 meters wide and more than 600 kilometers long. It's bottomless. Now, the bridges used for trade still rely on the power of rogue mages to build. With our current strength, it's impossible to seal off the rift valley of more than 600 kilometers."
Tang En certainly knew that Aurelia was not lying. Although there were many soldiers in the Irus Empire, their combined combat power was not as strong as the Ellington Guard. In other words, there was no army in Prandal that could compare to the Ellington Guard.
"Therefore, after our discussion, we came to a conclusion," His Holiness said.
"The Knights Templar will be scattered to patrol and provide mobile support. The Empire will send several troops to be stationed at fixed locations to seal off the surrounding roads. The Ellington Guard will be the core of the main force to eliminate the devils that appear!"
"What do you think of this plan?"
"I have no objections."
Tang En said, "If there's a need, they can set off at any time."
The opportunity to deal with the Chaos Army was not always available. Of course, it was also excellent to have the opportunity to train the troops during normal times. It just so happened that they had been resting for a while recently, so it was completely possible to let them train with the devils.
"Although the Ellington Guard's combat power is strong, most of that strength is based on the assistance of special equipment. Their own strength is not strong, so they can't be allowed to engage in close combat with the devils."
After several consecutive battles, with Tang En sparing no effort to cultivate them, and with the powerful effect of Ellington's mana source, the overall strength of the Ellington Guard had steadily increased. The newly recruited members had taken the Magic Awakening Potion and received a long period of systematic training. They had all been promoted to the Bronze level.
As for the reserve members, most of them had reached the Iron-Level after continuous training. Some of them had even reached the peak of the Iron-Level. The main force of the guards had broken through the Iron-Level Rank-9 and entered the Silver-Level. A small number of the elite members had even broken through the Gold level.
This had only happened in a year.
It had been said a long time ago that the cultivation aptitude of humans was not considered bad among the various races in the Prandal. Instead, it was extremely outstanding. It was precisely because of the excellent overall talent that they could rise from zero to the legendary level in just a few decades, reaching a level that other races could only reach after hundreds or thousands of years.
What about Ellington?
Within a year, many ordinary people who didn't know how to cultivate had become Gold rank Apocalyptics. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to use exaggerated words to describe their talents, because they were true geniuses. All they lacked was an opportunity.
And Tang En had given them this opportunity.
"Of course we know."
The Pope smiled and said, "If you feel sorry for those warriors, why don't you provide us with some of the equipment?"
If the Paladins could obtain the equipment of the Ellington Guard, their combat power would be improved by more than just a little. It would be a qualitative change!
Unfortunately, the Pope had gotten the news from Eluri. He knew very well how valuable the equipment was.
"Let's talk about it later."
Tang En smiled and did not say anything definite. If a war really broke out in the future, the equipment would definitely be provided freely, but not now. Publicly providing it now would only lead to the expansion of some people's power and desire. In the end, there would only be one result: war.
The Pope spread his hands and did not continue to insist. "If you agree to send troops, we need to make a relatively complete plan now."
Tang En knocked on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "Olga, don't mobilize the garrison for the time being. It will attract a lot of attention. Leave the matter of the demons to us."
Aurelia was startled. "You?"
"Yes, the Ellington Guard. They need a lot of rich combat experience, and the Paladins can provide combat assistance and protection. Their strength has a restraining effect on the demons and can greatly improve their safety."
At this point, Tang En slammed the table and said, "Yes, this is an excellent opportunity to train the troops."
Train, train the troops?
The muscles on the Pope's face twitched. The demons were notorious and many people avoided them. He actually wanted to use the demons as sparring partners to train the troops?
In the whole Prandal, which king would dare to do this?
Except for him, no one.
After finalizing the details of cooperation with the Pope, Tang En hurried back to Ellington.
"You're back? What did the Radiant Church want to talk to you about? "
"Something big."
Tang En said a little awkwardly, "The demons have appeared … and it may have something to do with me."
He was really embarrassed to say that it was because of his pretentious behavior that the demons appeared unexpectedly.
Fiona raised her eyebrows. "So?"
"I'm going to inform the Ellington Guard to go to the rift valley between Taris and Alinx."
"In such a hurry? Set off directly? "
"Yes, the Knights Templar have already set off. Our people will go to Taris through the teleportation portal, and then ride motorcycles from Taris to the rift valley to meet with the Knights Templar."
As Tang En spoke, he walked towards the window. "Pay more attention to the matters of the Research Institute, especially Eustisa's needs. If she has any requests, try your best to settle them — except for especially unreasonable requests."
As soon as his voice fell, Tang En had already passed through the window and landed on the street outside.
"…"
Fiona sighed. "There's a door, but you don't want to go through the window. That's not how the demeanor of a master comes about."
Elsa, who was practicing sword swinging on the training ground, was suddenly startled. Tang En's voice rang in her ears. "Elsa, immediately lead all the main force members to gather in the central square. There's a mission."
A mission!
Elsa's spirit was lifted. She was so excited that she crushed the heavy stone sword in her hand.
"Ouch! It hurts! "
"Damn! Big Sis is excited again! "
"That's why I said to stay away from Big Sis during training!"
"Hey! Cut the crap! "
Elsa shouted. With a wave of her hand, she took out her chainsword and stabbed it into the ground. She shouted energetically, "Just now Big Brother … Well, it was His Majesty who told me that I have a mission!"
"Did you hear that …"
"Well … Where's' Big Brother '…"
"I didn't expect to see him in my face during training …"
"What's even more unexpected is that Big Sis is actually feeding him dog food …"
Elsa heard their whispers and suddenly blushed. She pulled a long face and said, "Are you guys itching for a beating?"
"No!"
"That's good. Now everyone gather immediately and head to the central square!"
"Understood!"
The soldiers immediately lined up neatly and headed to the central square.
When Danny passed by Elsa, he could not help but glance at her. "That, Big Sis …"
"Hmm?"
Danny pointed at the cracked ground under her feet. "You'll have your salary deducted for damaging public property …"
Elsa: "…"
