Lin Rui waved his hand: "Never make a deal with demons, it's like asking a tiger for its skin. How do you know they won't purposely set a trap to harm us? What if they're lying and the Demon Army directly appears in Kesilina City, we'll be dood."
"Moreover, even if it truly is demons. Even if we don't attack Kesilina City, they will find ways to stir up big trouble."
"So, we will continue advancing!"
The human alliance was still blocking the Golden Pansy Army, but because Lin Rui had so many Epic-level units under his command, each capable of becoming a legendary Epic-level powerhouse on the Red River Plain, the blocking results were not ideal.
The Golden Pansy Domain's army crushed one blocking force after another, rapidly advancing hundreds of miles forward.
Seeing the Golden Pansy Domain about to leave Kesilina City behind, other Explorers finally couldn't sit still.
Chu Wudi contacted Lin Rui again, saying: "Alright, we'll be honest with you. The reinforcents are indeed the Demon Army. Do you rember Qin Mo?"
"The Lord of Sin City?" Lin Rui asked, rembering the top three Explorers on the leaderboard.
Chu Wudi: "Yes, that's him. He contacted the demons of our world and set up a teleportation gate."
"Demons from the Azure Realm?" Lin Rui was startled; he thought it was the Hell Demons of this world: "Can the demons from the Azure Realm descend directly to this world?"
"The principle is quite complex. Demons all reside in the Demon Realm, but you know there are many layers in the Demon Realm, right?"
"I've vaguely heard there are billions of demons on each layer." Billions, not just a few billion, but tens of trillions. Even if most are Tier One small demons, it's an extrely terrifying military strength.
And the reason why despite having so many demons, demons haven't dominated the Heavens and Myriads of Realms is mainly because they belong to the chaotic evil faction.
Chaotic ans completely unruly; with no one controlling them, they start killing each other, with billions of demons on one layer able to slaughter half their own kind.
The world is fair; it's impossible to grant them extraordinarily powerful individual strength and also give them strong discipline.
Chu Wudi: "Demons can't directly invade all the worlds, but they can attack each other's Demon Realm. When they're not attacking the order worlds, most of the fun is from demons fighting each other, you know?"
"Common knowledge." Lin Rui didn't understand at first, asking, "What's the relevance of this?"
Chu Wudi: "We can trigger a bloodshed concentration and Demon Power surge in Orandu Fortress to temporarily reach the level of this world's Demon Hell, depending on a contract to summon many demons of this world. In such a case, a few hundred miles around Orandu Fortress can temporarily mimic this world's Hell."
Lin Rui imdiately grasped it: "Then you open the teleportation gate, relying on the rule that allows attacking among the demon realms, to summon a large number of Azure Realm demons?"
"Exactly. You've always been sharp," Chu Wudi said: "But there's a crucial point, that is, there can't be too many human experts near Orandu Fortress. If they swiftly purify the area, the plan will fail. So, we need you to attack Kesilina City to draw away the human main force."
Having listened to this plan, Lin Rui pondered for a mont. Everything was interconnected, and missing any link would make it hard to execute.
With such a sophisticated plan, at most, Lin Rui could be considered an insignificant catalyst; whether it's the demon main force or the human alliance, it's difficult to notice this peripheral onlooker imdiately.
Lin Rui calculated from start to finish and found it challenging to discover any traps in attacking Kesilina City. At least, demons suddenly appearing was impossible.
So after weighing it, Lin Rui responded to Chu Wudi: "Alright. I will attack Kesilina City to draw so of the fire. I also hope that if your plan succeeds, you can help fend off the encirclent from the humans and Emperor Setra."
"Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Closing the panel, Lin Rui decisively ordered: "Change direction, attack Autos City to the southwest."
Audrey was astonished and asked: "Aren't we attacking Kesilina City?"
Lin Rui patted her head, saying: "Even if we are to attack Kesilina City, we can't just directly march—it's too straightforwardly related to the demons. We should at least attack a few nearby cities, disguising it to look like Kesilina City happens to be on our route."
"Father, you're even craftier than a fox!" Audrey giggled: "Then I'll start an attack on this small town to the southwest."
Her Sea of the Dead might not suffice against a main human army group, but attacking a small town was a breeze.
This small town had only a little over forty thousand people and more than a thousand defensive troops.
These defensive troops mainly consisted of low-tier Tier One and Two units, with a core of several dozen Church Guard Knights, but facing the overwhelming Sea of the Dead, they couldn't even last fifteen minutes.
Especially with over a dozen Giant Dragons hovering above the city, the vast Dragon's aura completely sapped the will to resist among the low-tier units. One dragon breath, and heaps of soldiers scattered and fled along the streets.
The system's notification sound followed promptly.
[System Notification: The Explorer's army has successfully captured a town. You can choose to pillage, occupy, or destroy.]
Lin Rui decisively chose to pillage.
In the civilization war system, the pillage option always existed, but Lin Rui had never used it before.
[By choosing to pillage, you'll obtain all the wealth stored by the territory's lord, warehouse, soldiers, and civilians.]
As the Dragon Fla blazed, the pillage was swiftly completed, and the system notification sounded.
[System Notification: The Explorer has pillaged a town. Wealth settlent complete: obtained Spirit Crystal Coins *2,800,000, Enhanced-level Equipnt (green) *56,000, Fine-level Equipnt (blue) *8,700, Rare Level Equipnt (red) *3]
Lin Rui's eyes widened instantly, did a recount, confirming he acquired 2.8 million Spirit Crystal Coins!
It was a swift path to fortune.
Plane War truly was the best opportunity to make a fortune.
Lin Rui advanced swiftly, sweeping through several nearby cities, acquiring not just a mass of armory equipnt and nearly ten million in wealth, but also a Strategic Treasure.
[Vibrant Garland · Strategic Treasure: Shines with the colors of life, guiding with the dance of elves. Elf units in the army have Life Recovery Speed 100%, Attack Speed 30%; after a Critical Strike, they can shoot three consecutive arrows, with each arrow reducing damage by 15%.]
A very quality elf treasure, particularly enhancing elf archers' output ability significantly.
Lin Rui directly pocketed it, considering if he could exchange it for so treasure in the vault back in the forest.
Even if it's non-exchangeable, it could be a gift for Rose in return for the [Imperial Military Decree] she gave.
As Lin Rui, like a greedy Giant Dragon, swept through several surrounding cities, his forces aid directly at Kesilina City, quickly causing a stir within the human world.
Especially the nearby Lords, who could no longer sit idly and sent troops to support.
Soon Audrey dispatched a Heavy Armored Crimson Dragon Rider to report to Lin Rui: "Lord, a human heavy cavalry corps has been spotted ahead."
Lin Rui imdiately asked: "How large is their scale?"
"The cavalry's scale discovered so far is at least four cavalry divisions, plus there are more than ten divisions of main infantry regints."
"With just this many, do they dare to intercept us?" Lin Rui was slightly surprised.
Although the Golden Pansy human scale was less than a division, the main Necromancers numbered three, and with the Skeleton Fear Demon, the troops exceeded ten divisions.
Plus, with nurous heroes and Strategic Treasures bolstering them, they were not sothing that rely a dozen or so divisions of humans could stop.
This interception was rather odd.
