◎You made a meal of dumplings just for this jealous feeling.◎
In the next few days, the Demon King's army's training plan went smoothly.
Although the demon soldiers who had never received any training were not used to the teamwork fighting method at first, such blank experience made them quite malleable. After only three or two days of training, several teams were initially formed. When the captain shouted "formation", they could quickly drop what they were doing and line up in an orderly manner.
Although there is still a long way to go before we can build a truly disciplined army, it is at least a good start.
In addition to the enhancement of teamwork and tacit understanding, the individual strength of the magic soldiers has also been greatly improved.
After that competition, Warren summoned the magic soldiers who performed well in the battle as instructors, and mobilized all the magic soldiers to brainstorm and summarize many effective combat skills.
Having participated in countless battles and hunts, the demon soldiers possessed ample practical experience. What they lacked was this kind of systematic induction and summary. After several discussions and teaching sessions, everyone benefited a lot and could not wait to fight a few battles and try out their current abilities.
Therefore, when the Demon King, after inspecting the training results of the demon soldiers, finally announced, "Starting from tomorrow, the eight-day hunting competition will officially begin," all the demon soldiers couldn't wait to cheer.
Warren stretched out his right hand, palm facing the ground, and pressed down slightly, and the noisy military camp fell silent instantly. The demon soldiers, who were extremely convinced of the Demon King, looked at him with shining eyes, and pricked up their ears waiting for his orders.
Warren, who was sitting on the stone, cleared his throat and looked at the large group of demon soldiers with piercing eyes in front of him. He had the inexplicable illusion that he was a sheep among wolves and felt a huge pressure.
...
...
——It’s not that he didn’t want to stand up and chat with the demon soldiers, but the average height of the demon soldiers was close to two meters and five. Standing together, he, the demon king, seemed much shorter, which was not conducive to the establishment of prestige. Moreover, talking with his head tilted back was too unfriendly to his cervical spine.
I don't know when I can get the chance to fly.
Playing cards, he really wants to fly...
After sighing in his heart and imagining the joy of getting a flying card, Warren sorted out his thoughts and spoke calmly:
"The purpose of this hunting competition is not just hunting, but also a test for everyone."
"The Legion is currently divided into eight teams. The result of this hunting competition will be used to rank the eight teams. The results of each demon hunt will determine whether your team will be the first or eighth team of the Legion."
"Starting tomorrow, we will send out a team to hunt every day, each led by a team leader. I will follow the team, but I will not take action easily. All difficulties encountered during the hunting process will be solved by each team on their own, unless there is a risk of annihilation."
"After the hunt, the team that successfully obtains the title of the Legion's First Squad will be awarded a gold medal, the right to be the first to be equipped with new magic weapons, the right to order food from the kitchen, and a special reward of one piece of chocolate for each magic."
A piece of chocolate for each demon!
The demon soldiers who had tasted the chocolate given by the Demon King at the dinner party, or heard their companions talk about how delicious the chocolate was, all couldn't help swallowing hard.
After looking around, Warren was shocked to realize that among the rewards he had just mentioned, the chocolate that he thought was just a bonus was actually the most attractive to the magic soldiers.
It is indeed the most delicious chocolate in the world!
He lowered his eyes and smiled, then continued, "Becoming the eighth team also has its own punishments. You will be responsible for cleaning the legion's base in the coming time until the next hunting competition when the rankings are re-ranked."
The demon soldiers discussed quietly, surprised at the lightness of the punishment, which was in stark contrast to the previous demon king's operation of peeling skin and pulling tendons at any time - but this made them more motivated - the demon king was so good to them, how could they lose face in front of the demon king! They must become the best team!
"You've been training hard these past few days. Let's go back and rest for a while and recharge our batteries," Warren clapped his hands and said happily, "Starting tomorrow, the hunting competition will officially begin!"
The demon soldiers responded in unison.
Living in the barren Demon Realm full of dangers, they are not flowers that came out of a greenhouse. Whether it is powerful monsters, mysterious swamps or other demons, they will die without a burial place if they are not careful. Competition and pressure are not a huge stone in their hearts, but a burning flame that makes their blood boil and their fighting spirit high.
Moreover, even the most honest demon soldiers understood that the powerful demon king did not need to create complicated competitions and strict training procedures, and even personally showed up to guide them many times. The previous demon king violently oppressed them and beat and killed them at will, so they could only fight for the demon king without complaint and become the skeletons stepping on the demon king's throne.
However, these training and competitions that are useless to the Demon King can rescue them from their difficulties and confusion and significantly improve their strength. In the Demon Realm where the strong prey on the weak, this is even equivalent to giving them a second life.
The Demon King took great pains to consider them, valued and cultivated them, and even reduced the efficiency of hunting just to improve their combat effectiveness. He was as selfless as a god!
"We have encountered the greatest demon king in the Demon Realm."
The demon soldiers were all in tears as they thought about this. When the team leaders encouraged their team members, they also praised the Demon King from the bottom of their hearts: "The King could have recruited more powerful demon soldiers to fight for him, but he did not abandon us. Instead, he spent time and effort to improve our strength and waited patiently for us to catch up with him. With such a great demon king, how can we retreat? I swear on my life that I will always serve the King, risking my life and never regret it!"
The demon soldiers in the squad shouted excitedly in unison: "We swear on our lives!"
…
The demon soldiers who were moved to the point of being completely loyal to the Demon King did not know that Warren, who had left the barracks and returned to the Demon King's palace, walked to an empty corner, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief loudly.
"I finally fooled them," he tapped the Demon King's Crown and chatted with the system in his mind with emotion, "It's not easy to find a legitimate reason not to take action during a hunt. Fortunately, the demon soldiers don't seem to have any doubts."
He asked the Dark Iron Dwarves to make a scoreboard, let the magic soldiers get familiar with the team competition mode during training, and finally proposed a hunting competition to divert the magic soldiers' attention from hunting itself to the competition. He put in a lot of effort, but in the end it was just to be able to say with a clear mind, "I will follow you, but I will never take action."
[So you made dumplings just to be jealous.]
I can't help but complain about the card drawing system.
Warren was stunned: "What is vinegar? What are dumplings?"
[……]
The card drawing system is back to cool.
[For details, please draw the card first.]
Warren shook his head helplessly and shook the Demon King's Crown. Seeing that the card drawing system had no intention of continuing to chat with him, he had to give up. He found Lill to instruct him on the work of the Demon King's Palace in the next few days, and then returned to the bedroom to prepare for bed.
He needs to get enough rest to cope with the hunting starting tomorrow. He is not as strong as the magic soldiers and has no magic support. Even if he doesn't have to fight, he will probably be exhausted just by walking.
…
Warren's worries were put to rest when he arrived at the barracks the next day.
He stared at the huge chair in front of him, which was supported by two sticks over five meters high. "What is this?"
"This is your throne," the two demon soldiers who had fought several battles with their colleagues to win the honor of carrying the throne for the Demon King answered excitedly, "It was four meters high before, but we discussed it and decided that it was not worthy of you, so we raised it by one meter."
The previous Demon King would sit on this kind of throne when he went out hunting or attacking disobedient demons. It not only reflected his status, but also allowed other demons to see him from afar, which was quite oppressive.
Warren twitched his lips. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like a wedding sedan chair. He didn't see any pressure at all. He silently held his forehead and paused for a moment, but still couldn't convince himself to sit on this chair.
——More importantly, this throne is ridiculously high. He can neither fly nor has strong jumping ability, so he can't climb up at all!
You can't let the demon soldiers lift you up!
"No need to do this," he said helplessly, "You are going to have a hunting competition. How can you hunt seriously if I occupy two of your team members like this?"
Feeling the care of the demon king, the demon soldiers were moved to tears: "My king! We are not afraid! Your comfort is the most important!"
Warren choked, not understanding why the burly man in front of him suddenly started wiping his tears, so he could only pat his head comfortingly: "Alright, I'm the Demon King, listen to my arrangements. Just go find a hell horse or earth dragon beast for me to ride on."
Still feeling that this was an injustice to the king, the demon soldier wanted to retort, but seeing the demon king's unquestionable gaze, he could only sob and nod, then ran to the place where the Demon Riding Corps raised demon beasts, trying hard to pick out the strongest one to give to the demon king.
Finally, he chose a strong hell horse that was more than three meters tall and led it to the devil. Warren hesitated for a moment, not because he thought the horse was bad, but mainly because he was thinking about how to get on the horse. Fortunately, the horse was very smart and lowered its head obediently, allowing Warren to grab its mane and jump onto its back.
Warren clamped his legs against the horse's back and bounced up and down gently. He didn't feel any discomfort. He was very satisfied. He turned to look at Adela, the captain of the hunting team today.
At the Demon King's attention, Adela proudly straightened her back and raised the sword in her hand with great enthusiasm: "First team, let's go!"
The demon soldiers in the squad shouted together: "First squad, move out!"
Under the gaze of the rest of the demon soldiers, the team of hundreds of people left the barracks, raising a cloud of dust. The remaining demon soldiers looked at each other, envious of those demon soldiers who could follow the demon king to hunt, and excited that they would also have the opportunity to follow the demon king in the next few days. After a few quiet discussions, they actively started today's training under the organization of their respective captains.
