Capítulo 1538: Chapter 278: The Souls of My Enemies Are Also My Currency (Part 2)
So, in order to deal with the characteristics of the Demon Legion, Ian evacuated everyone from the Golden Plains who could be evacuated.
But there were still so people unwilling to leave. If it weren’t for the fact that demons could use the grudges of those not killed by themselves, Ian would have been tempted to kill this bunch of idiots himself. But there was no way around it; he could only make so last use of them before launching one final sneak attack, hoping to severely wound the Sorrow Bell.
But the Sorrow Bell didn’t give them the chance.
“Recently, the Supre Spirit Sect has been publicizing nonstop.”
At this mont, Marquis Barton spoke. This old man seed much more relaxed after putting down the burden, and at least Ian didn’t see much worry on his face: “They say the Prophet has long prophesied all of this and declared it a holy war…”
“A kind of strategy.”
Ian snapped back to the present, smiling as he said, “As long as you tell everyone that this war is a divine war destined to be won, they won’t feel any fear even if the opponents are demons.”
“I understand.”
Marquis Barton seed to perceive more, but he didn’t say much. He changed the topic: “Even if we can resist the Demon Legion, what about the Sorrow Bell? Without relying on sneak attacks, do you have a way to defeat a Fourth Level directly?”
“Or is it…”
The elderly man slowly raised his head to look at the sky, seemingly implying: “Can you call upon so force that can intervene in this battle?”
Neither Fae nor Dragons, nor the Four Great Orthodox Churches, would intervene in this war. They would only help protect the ‘civilians’ of the Silver Peak Domain, which is why there are still so cities surviving in the Western Territory—because those cities have the main church temples of the Four Great Orthodox Churches in them.
But clearly, Marquis Barton wasn’t referring to those forces.
“If necessary, I will definitely call upon them.”
Ian nodded slightly, aningfully saying: “But I am an Imperial noble, the Earl of Silver Peak. How could I summon so exiled powers?”
“Moreover, although the Sorrow Bell is Fourth Level, it’s a Fourth Level demon, a Fusion Demon. I have ways to deal with him.”
“I didn’t know you were a demon expert.”
Marquis Barton raised an eyebrow but didn’t press further, turning instead to discuss issues about cooperation with the Southern Ridge Comrce Guild with Ian—the upcoming war was an all-out war against the Fiery Fla Land, and guild supplies were essential. The compensation process after the war needed discussion, and Ian was willing to owe so debt to the guild, letting them collect it in goods from the Silver Peak Domain.
Although Marquis Barton wasn’t wrong, Ian certainly wasn’t a demon expert… but there were plenty in his domain.
Not to ntion Adalbert, wasn’t Sio the Dragon of the Illusionary Realm herself? She’s been plagued by the Void Demon’s Poison for a century and is undoubtedly an expert in this field!
“Huh? When it cos to demons, just eat the weak ones directly.”
In the Silver Peak Domain, the questioned Sio looked bewildered: “As for the strong ones, just fight them head-on, destroy their soul structures, use Spirit Energy to dispel any lingering grudges, collect the fragnts, and burn them with the Spirit World Fla, and you’re all set.”
“Besides, Ian, can’t you even beat that Fourth Level demon?”
Sio was really doubtful about Ian coming to her for advice on dealing with the Sorrow Bell. She thought that since Ian could take down the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon and even pilot its body to withstand attacks of the Fifth Energy Level, defeating a re Fourth Level Great Demon should be easy.
Moreover, wasn’t Ian just clashing head-on with the Sorrow Bell today? He didn’t even co out at a disadvantage, so why worry so much?
“If I summon my Unyielding Fortress Body down to rge and reshape the Pioneer of Iron, paired with the Heart of Terra, I really could defeat him outright, at most for a price.”
Ian shook his head: “But if I only use the Fairy Body, there truly is a tier gap between my power and his… my Fairy Body, apart from the core constructed by the Sky Ladder Life Tree, isn’t made of materials as extravagant as my own body.”
“As for the head-on clash, I tapped into the resources of the Heart of Terra—if I continuously use the computational power of the Heart of Terra, I really can confront the Sorrow Bell directly, but the Heart of Terra also needs to compute for the chanical Information Troops. Without the Heart of Terra’s boost, these troops would crumble before the Demon Army at the slightest touch.”
And this creates a dilemma: In a single combat scenario, Ian truly isn’t afraid of the Sorrow Bell, but the Sorrow Bell also commands a large Demon Army, and whether it’s Adalbert’s Giant of Light or the chanized troops, they need the Heart of Terra’s assistance to perform at full potential.
But there’s only one Heart of Terra.
“So…”
Seeing Sio knit her brows understanding the difficulties of the domain, Ian smiled as he reached the crux: “Sio, will you help out?”
“What help?” The red-haired Dragon Maiden widened her eyes, feeling a bit uneasy: “I’ll help you fight and deal with those demon officers, but what else do you need for?”
“Lend your Dragon Soul!” Ian straightforwardly replied: “I will use you as the center to create a calculation matrix. When I tap into the power of the Heart of Terra, your soul will handle the military computations!”
Sio looked puzzled: “Huh?”
And Ian continued eagerly: “Sio, your Dragon Soul has enormous potential, especially your Dragon Crystal Mind Organ, each one is comparable to a true biological quantum computer—oh, you can just think of it as a Source Quality Calculating Chip.”
