The text not only described the frozen soil, but also specified which heroes from the Sandy Eye City war zone were needed to provide assistance.
She checked several times and found that it didn't say "Blood Warrior" at all, but eventually gave up.
However... she also wondered if she was being too greedy.
She had been with the Saintess Squad for a long time and had spent a lot of time with the Sword Hero.
Now that it's time to return to our own battle zone, to still hope to stay by the Sword Hero's side is truly...
Too greedy!
Even dreams eventually come to an end, and she can't stay away from her war zone forever.
"What does it say?" the Bone Hero asked.
"The dwarves recommended to the humans a demonic territory with very few demons, containing a large amount of metal that could be used to create powerful weapons, enough to kill even the most powerful demons."
We must develop this area before the demons do.
However, this area is very dangerous; any warrior with less than 100 resilience will freeze to death very quickly.
Because of this, it is difficult to produce much food here, so many demons cannot survive here.
"The Saintess Squad is currently working with the dwarves to develop equipment that will help them enter this frozen land, and they need the assistance of some of our warriors in the war zone," Milai explained.
"Well... although, we can still obtain weapons and equipment by defeating the demons, right?"
"If a warrior with less than 100 resilience were to be in mortal danger in this environment, I don't think there's any need to take the risk," said Hornu, the Bone Warrior.
The other two nodded in agreement.
As a leader-level squad, the first thing they could sense was that the heroes' raiding process was now quite mature.
In other words, whether they are going to fight marquises or dukes, they only need to follow this process to successfully reach the top level of strength among the demons.
They numbered only ten thousand, a tiny fraction of the entire demon race.
Even some large demon organizations or noble armies have more than ten thousand demons.
That's why they define themselves as "assassins".
A group of assassins whose motives and when they will strike are unknown.
Be flexible and adaptable. If you can kill elites, then kill elites. If elites are hard to kill, then kill ordinary high-level demons. In short, the warriors have already figured out how to level up very well.
In the past, heroes lacked strength and were afraid of being kicked to death by demons wherever they went.
The heroes of today have already reached the middle ranks of the entire Demon Clan, and some have even reached the threshold of the upper ranks.
With accumulated combat experience and special skills, it is not impossible to kill a demon even if one or two levels higher.
Following this model, there's no need to spend time developing permafrost, right?
It's not that developing unknown areas is a bad thing, but to them, the benefits of developing this area seem less than directly defeating the demons.
"Given the many possibilities that may arise in the future, it is reasonable to make further preparations."
Miley said;
"The Saintess Squad won't do anything useless."
This undeveloped ice field has been named the [White Sea].
The project will be called—
Project White Sea.
……
Deep within the demon realm, a gray-white stone building floats beneath a cloudless starry sky.
The massive building doesn't look like any traditional house, but rather like...
A giant hourglass.
Silver energy flowed slowly around the entire hourglass, like a veil floating on a giant hourglass.
Inside the building, an elderly man dressed in a scholar's robe hunched over, holding a scroll in his hand behind his back, pacing back and forth on the gray floor.
The body shape is that of an old man, but the head is like an inverted skull, with dark eye sockets extending to the jaw, and no mouth on the forehead, which is not the structure of a human skull.
One of the Demon King's seventy-two servants;
The third royal servant, Vasak.
During this period, he always felt a sense of unease for no reason.
For this reason, he dreamed for several days, hoping to delve into the dream world and glimpse some of the future.
Unlike the original setting where he could know the future, his ability to foresee the future is not strong; he can only make predictions through some abstract fragments.
However, it is precisely this slight ability to glimpse the future that gives him a certain premonition.
It seems like a disaster is about to happen.
He stopped and unrolled the scroll in his hand.
It contains symbols and images that were magically copied from dreams.
Once unfolded, you'll see a dense array of symbols and images, like an anthill that's been disturbed.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a large number of "fragments".
In his dreams, he cannot control what he sees, but he can instinctively find useful information from it and automatically record it outside of the dream.
However, this time the amount of information is terrifying.
Among the vast amount of information, the only thing he could know was—
The demon race is about to face a great calamity.
This must be a catastrophe that threatens the entire demon race.
Because he realized from the symbols and images that this disaster was not just targeting him.
It could even be a major disaster that one cannot stop.
They came with overwhelming force and momentum; it would probably take the entire power of the demon race to stop them.
What Vasak is worried about now is...
Where did this crisis come from?
Swords, shields, blades, spears, bows and arrows—these naturally represent various weapons.
The symbols for the elements—fire, water, metal, wind, thunder, light, and darkness—are prominently displayed within.
What Vasak saw was a war.
This is bound to be a war.
He stared at the sword symbol on the scroll, as if the sword were about to pierce through his eyes and into his soul.
His intuition told him that this sharp sword represented a most dangerous enemy.
Perhaps the opponent is not the strongest adversary, perhaps the threat posed by the opponent is limited, and perhaps the opponent's strategic significance is not the most important, but...
The other side must be at the heart of this war.
Before Vasak's eyes, the symbols and images on the scroll seemed to float up and spiral to form a high mountain.
Symbols and images pieced together to form the trees and soil of a mountain, but the sharp sword remained unplaced for a long time.
Finally, the entire mountain was formed under his gaze, and the sharp sword quietly fell to the top of the mountain.
It became the most prominent tree at the very top of the mountain, growing at the highest point.
The more Vasak looked, the more uneasy he became.
A sword can represent a swordsman, a demon, or an attack.
What Vasak couldn't tell was whether it was an enemy wielding a sword, or an attack powerful enough to shake the entire demon race.
For example, this attack injured the Demon King, thus affecting the entire territory covering the Demon race, which can be considered a terrible disaster.
If it is a powerful swordsman, then an investigation should be launched immediately.
First and foremost... is the lineage of the [Sword Demon].
When he came to his senses, the symbols returned to the scroll; everything that had just happened was a figment of his imagination.
Looking at the scroll again, if you look away from the sword, you'll find that there's more than just one sword on the scroll.
The sword is merely the most dazzling star, while the entire scroll is a constellation of stars, and beneath that most dazzling star, there are many other lights that cannot be ignored.
That's why this is such a great disaster.
Extinguishing these lights is no easy task.
Moreover, because the cause of this great calamity is unknown, and it is also unknown whether it is a rebellion;
He did not intend to tell any of the dukes or royal attendants about this.
Vasak can only contact two adults at the moment—
"go."
With a wave of his hand, two runes floated out of his hand, pierced through the wall, and disappeared into the night sky like shooting stars.
These two runes are visible only to him, and they are not magical communications, but a kind of soul connection.
Only those two adults knew about this.
Lord Demon King!
And the Little Demon King!
Then he looked at the scroll in his hand.
Even if it's just to alleviate his unease, he's going to start investigating.
……
At the dining table, two little girls were waiting for the housekeepers to bring up the delicious food.
This is the restaurant of a certain human noble family. They were just passing by and decided to have a meal here.
Suddenly, a rune flashed in one of the Demon King's eyes.
