"Withdraw your terror riders. As long as your undead don't set foot on the bloody hills, I can give the front half of the courtyard to humans."
It was their first meeting in the sky, and there was no greeting or banter. They were a man and a demon, and they had never had any interaction before. At this moment, Philemon spoke first and brought up the topic of establishing diplomatic relations.
"Philimon, are you joking with me?" Facing the sudden arrival of the Lord of the Courtyard, Mu Hua was not too surprised by Philemon's words.
Give it to humans, but not specifically to him, Mu Hua.
Ever since the Star Patrol Conference, the demon Barus in front of them had been very stable. Until he led his troops to the Bloody Hills, there was not even any sign of a decent troop mobilization on Philemon's side.
As for what he said about giving the front half of the courtyard to humans, it can basically be ignored. These demons come to the human world to hang out in the courtyard. They can't be said to raise chickens and pigs, but their attitude towards humans is similar to raising wolves and taming tigers.
The devil wants to gain emotional energy from humans, but humans are difficult to send to hell safely. If they want more humans, they naturally have to give them enough living space in the courtyard.
Most courtyard masters don't mind giving humans some sweet treats to attract more humans to their courtyards.
The same was true for Philemon, so even when Mu Hua caught the Goblin General and the Ice Queen and tried to clean them up, Philemon did not react too much.
Even in the Bloody Hills, the demons who had never experienced too much high-intensity warfare in the courtyard probably still held the mentality that it was healthier to fight.
Anyway, they won't be completely disappointed, and fighting with naturally weak humans can not only vent their excitement, but also promote their own evolution.
Some things are of high value to humans, but not so rare in hell. The demons collect resources and wealth for the purpose of growth and evolution. Even if they have to sacrifice some sacrifices, it will not matter to those projection demons.
These are still the mentality of lower-level demons. If they were placed on demons like Philemon and Gamene, they would even have the tools to transform the Philosopher's Stone.
If you mess with your own monsters in hell, they will be dead if they die. If too many of your own soldiers die, you might be targeted by other powerful demons.
It is very difficult to collect emotional energy. Not to mention fighting other demon lords, even if there is an internal fight within one's own forces, the losses may be greater than the sacrifice of the projection.
The courtyard is so good. After eating humans, I can eat monsters. I can harm both the enemy and myself. Moreover, by making my subordinates lose some financial resources, I can also promote the stability of my own family.
After all, no matter whether it is a demon or a human being, as long as he has money in his pocket, he will be more confident. With more money in his pocket, he will naturally enjoy life more and pursue himself more. Then, naturally, he will not be so easy to use.
For high-level demons like Philemon, the courtyard is simply the best place for them to practice financial management and maintain stability. Making a magic tool and transforming it into a philosopher's stone is no less valuable than those miscellaneous sacrifices.
So Philemon didn't mind humans running to his doorstep and shouting at him to kill him. He might even be looking forward to it.
But when it came to Mu Hua, especially when Mu Hua climbed up the bloody hill, things started to go wrong.
What does the devil hate the most? What he hates the most is the elite troops strategy.
Not only do you have a small number of soldiers but also a lot of undead.
It's not very polite of you to do this, right?
A bunch of headless knights are hacking and hacking at the bloody hills. You have nothing you want, but our men's equipment and sacrifices are exploding in various ways. It hurts to see them exploding.
What is this called? This is called a premium! A serious premium! Philemon couldn’t sit still. He wasn’t dissatisfied with Mu Hua’s trouble. He didn’t like Mu Hua’s use of the skeletons and the undead to cause trouble. . .
"You can let me withdraw the Terror Riders, and you let Jamene come out from underground. As long as all the Spider Demons come to the surface, I can even give the blockade line to the Adventurer's Guild." Mu Hua said to Philemon half-truthfully and with contempt in his eyes.
"There are still too few humans in the courtyard. There is no need to cause too many casualties to the adventurers. Your invasion is progressing too fast." Philemon shook his head.
“…”Mu Hua was stunned.
Damn, what the hell is this focus? We are talking about spider demons, okay? Why does this sound a bit off? Why does it feel like this demon has more positive energy than us? "Haha, don't you humans like to talk about strategy and tactics the most?" The voice of Jiamene suddenly echoed in the void.
In the sky, silver threads were faintly visible. In the empty space, Jiamene was like a spider with hanging threads, hanging upside down in the air in a strange posture. When she interrupted, she hid far away from Mu Hua and Philemon.
"The Spider Demon is the darling of the earth. One day, I will even become the mother of the earth."
"It's normal for us to be underground. Otherwise, you let all humans abandon their airships, tanks and mechas, and we will go out on the earth and have a good fight. Hehehe." Jiamene's teasing voice came from afar.
Jiamenie has a cold and arrogant temperament. When she is being unrestrained in front of Mu Hua, a cold light flashes in her eyes from time to time that is difficult to conceal.
"Get out before I tear you apart." Glancing coldly at Jia Monie, Mu Hua scolded her and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
If she wasn't a projection, Mu Hua would have tried to scratch her with his claws at all costs the moment she appeared, but in her current condition, there was no point in killing her once or twice.
If it comes to a head-on battle now, Mu Hua doesn't take the demon generals seriously, even a stronger commander like Jiamie.
"Human, you should learn to be content. Death Canyon can be your pasture for the undead, and I can also set aside a safe zone for humans in the Bloody Hills."
"There are countless courtyards in your world. Give up the fight between you and me. You can just use this place as a place to recuperate." Mu Hua disliked Jiamene, and Philemon didn't care too much about Jiamene's appearance.
And this Barus demon, who should be overbearing and arrogant in Mu Hua's imagination, calmed down the situation. However, this good-sounding suggestion is obviously not as simple as it sounds.
"You want me to live surrounded by demons? Or do you want me to support another human force to fight against me?"
"Barus, as you said, there are many courtyards in the human world, and these routines have been used by too many demons."
"Let me? Then let me see what qualifications you have to let me." Without wanting to waste any more words, Mu Hua had always wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Philemon so that he could have a more accurate positioning of the Lord of Hell.
As he spoke, Mu Hua flashed and suddenly appeared next to Philemon, but Philemon's perception of space was also very strong. Almost at the same time when Mu Hua flashed, Philemon had already moved synchronously and distanced himself from Mu Hua.
"Qualifications? Your Terror Knights, your dragons, do you really think I can do nothing with them?"
"Human, don't discuss qualifications in front of a Hell Lord, even if yours is..."
Mu Hua attacked suddenly, and Philemon remained calm. However, before he could finish his words, Mu Hua, who had just flashed, shot out at a speed comparable to a flash, and approached Philemon with a sonic boom.
Compared to the flash, Mu Hua's sudden attack this time surprised Philemon more. There was no fluctuation in casting spells, and Mu Hua showed such a fast speed in the air without a fulcrum, which made Philemon a little surprised.
The power of the demon king? Impossible? Because Mu Hua often used the Touch of Jealousy, Philemon knew that Mu Hua's intelligence attribute was somewhat extraordinary, but unless the magic power was qualitatively transformed, no matter how high the intelligence attribute was, the necessary casting process could not be abandoned.
The speed increase of flying magic is somewhat lacking in explosiveness, so Mu Hua's aerial advance must rely on the assistance of some magic.
Philemon was suspicious, but he didn't care too much about Mu Hua's claws.
Retreat and move to avoid Mu Hua's attack. If in the air, even if he cannot keep up with the speed of Mu Hua's attack, Philemon can still perfectly unload the force.
Philemon was experienced in combat. While he was blocking Mu Hua's claw attack, his thunder claws filled with destructive power also swept towards Mu Hua.
At their respective levels, defensive magic is often useless in close combat, while sturdy and high-defense armor is more effective in protecting the body.
"Zheng~!" There was a sharp friction sound. Philemon's counterattack did not hit Mu Hua, but Mu Hua's arm suddenly grew longer, and his sharp claws reached his body, actually tearing open the armor under Philemon's robe.
"How dare you!" Philemon shouted angrily.
Purple lightning exploded all over his body, and Philemon forced Mu Hua back. The sudden growth of his arms should be the ability of Behemoth. Philemon was not surprised that Mu Hua had perfected the incarnation of Behemoth, after all, Mu Hua had become Behemoth and ridden on Leticia.
But his armor is all high-end. Not to mention the armor, the robe he wears outside the armor has strong defense. The armor-piercing ability of Behemoth's claws should not be that strong. Could it be...
"You..." After forcing Mu Hua back, Philemon seemed to have thought of something, and the flat, strange face of the Barus demon actually wrinkled.
"Ah~~!" Philemon, who was originally confronting Mu Hua, suddenly curled up his body while crying out in pain and trembling.
"Fenrir! Hmm~~~Hmm~~~Hmm~~~" Philemon, who curled up his body, suddenly let out a moan that made people's hair stand on end. The moan even scared Mu Hua.
Philemon had left the black dragon he was riding when Mu Hua attacked him.
However, Philemon was seen floating in the sky, his body rubbing and drifting in the void like a worm.
An arch, a groan, a rub, and a hum.
The previous temperament and style are completely gone, and the aura...well, it’s hard to describe.
"..." Mu Hua had a strange expression.
Wow, he is worthy of being Philemon. This is the first time that Mu Hua encounters a guy who cannot be killed by the world’s poison.
He pushed and rubbed, but it seemed that Mu Hua's world poison could not kill him. Probably to prevent Mu Hua from taking advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack, Philemon's body was covered with dense lightning to protect him.
Like... Well, okay, let's say like Thor, that's a bit off.
The power of destruction, the purple lightning containing the power of destruction, raged and exploded in the sky with Philemon as the center, and Mu Hua did not dare to touch it.
He fumbled around and manifested the Jam Sweetheart, loaded the bullets, and raised the gun with one hand. The muzzle was pointed at Philemon who seemed to be digesting the toxins in his body, but his eyes were looking at Jamene in the distance.
At this moment, the thread of fate that was originally spreading in the sky suddenly retreated, and Jiamene had a look of horror on his face, and his figure flashed and disappeared.
The poison of the world, she, Jiamenie, probably can't bear it for the time being... (End of this chapter)
