Archdemon

Huo Ling inspected the new foundry.

This workshop is outside the capital city, and a tall wall has been built outside by slave workers.

The guards here are strict. The demon army guarding this workshop is after the blood transformation. Now some of the best of these demons have broken through to the black iron level.

This consumed a lot of disaster coins, but for Augustine, it was all worth it, otherwise when the Ante Empire attacked, the wealth of this warehouse would fall into the hands of the enemy.

Today's demon army has changed a lot. They are no longer ordinary people. Their skin has slowly turned dark red, and there are some purgatory runes left over from the blood transformation.

Their teeth have become sharp, their eyes have turned red, and there is a pair of slightly raised horns on both sides of their heads.

The height of these soldiers has also become taller, and the general height has reached about two meters, with well-developed muscles. This is the price of rapid growth in strength.

These are soldiers transformed by the blood of the Legion Demon. They have accepted the character of the Legion Demon and prefer to use a complete military formation.

The opposite is the soldiers of the Mezo Insect Demon. The soldiers who have been transformed by the Mezo Insect Demon have a greater change in appearance and are shorter in height.

Some chitinous shells have grown on some of their vital parts, which can provide the soldiers with a certain degree of defense.

The strength of the soldiers transformed by the Mezo Insect Demon is relatively stronger, because their bloodline potion almost completely accepts the corpse of a whole demon, and the effect of the transformation is naturally stronger.

These soldiers cannot form a large-scale military formation, but the combat effectiveness of their small teams is good, which is also due to the nature of the Mezo Insect Demon.

Although the soldiers have been affected by the bloodline and become much more evil, they are far from being completely affected by the character of the bloodline.

The Mezo Insect Demon is a demon, and their nature is chaotic, but there is a reason for this. The constant killing and devouring in the abyss is the main reason for their chaotic souls.

These modified demon armies do not have the ability to devour souls, so naturally, these accompanying defects will not be acquired.

Huo Ling passed through the heavy guards of the soldiers and saw the blacksmiths busy inside.

There are now more than a thousand black iron-level blacksmiths in this blacksmith workshop. They are currently forging the magic armor that Huo Ling has deleted some manufacturing processes.

These armors can have a good matching effect with the modified demon army, and can be regarded as a weakened version of the silver-level armor.

Many runes and manufacturing methods can be used to manufacture silver-level armor.

Huo Ling stood on the high platform, slowly releasing his upper devil's breath, which made the blacksmiths under the stage look at Huo Ling with respectful eyes.

These blacksmiths are all products that Huo Ling is very optimistic about. Now they are placed here with Augustine for him to raise. When the right time comes, Huo Ling will take these blacksmiths back to Purgatory.

Although there are only more than a thousand blacksmiths after the transformation, this number is still increasing.

At the same time, the number of transformed demon soldiers was also increasing, and the strength of the Kingdom of Alto was increasing at a visible speed.

This was not without consequences. In Purgatory, almost all the demons under Huo Ling had their blood drawn, and they had no energy to work every day.

...

After a period of effort by the messenger, the news that Augustine was going to gather an army was finally spread to many nobles across the country.

Some nobles began to recruit their own serfs and brought their private soldiers to gather at the army assembly point set up by Augustine.

Some great nobles sneered at the news of the recruitment. They also knew that it would not be long before the army of the Ant Empire would come to kill.

Instead of following Augustine to resist stubbornly now, it would be better to surrender to the Ant Empire at that time, which would also ensure the family's future wealth.

If you look down from the sky above the plane, in the Kingdom of Alto, groups of soldiers are moving like ants moving, and the direction they move is Augustine's position.

This time Augustine recruited professional soldiers, which were elite private soldiers for each noble family.

In the big tent of the military camp, Augustine was already dressed in military uniform and sat on his throne.

On the left and right were Huo Ling and the court mage Xili.

Augustine's calm face showed a trace of regret: "It seems that they will not come..."

The envoys sent to several noble families who had long been rebellious returned, and they brought back some bad news. These nobles had various reasons and chose to refuse this call-up.

Some said that the head of the family was seriously ill, and some said that there were many people in the territory.The serfs of the riot, and some said they would come later.

"Your Majesty, you have guessed it a long time ago, right? Okay, give me the list, and you are ready to take the potion." Huo Ling was not surprised by the choices made by these nobles.

In this world, the rights of the nobles are inseparable from the strength of their families. If the Ant Empire invades and destroys the Kingdom of Alto, then the royal family will definitely die.

However, these nobles in the country may not be severely punished. Even if they surrender early, the territory of the family can be expanded.

The family and the kingdom are not bound together. In the Terry plane, there is no kingdom that has always existed, but there are nobles who have always existed.

The Ant Empire won, and it also needs nobles to govern the country and manage the serfs for them.

"Give it to him, Teacher Xili..." Augustine sighed long, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

The old wizard Xili silently handed a list and specific coordinates to Huo Ling.

"Just get rid of those with high strength. I will send the court warriors to go with you. They will get rid of some disobedient ones and leave some obedient ones to continue to serve me." Augustine said slowly.

"No problem, you have the final say." Huo Ling raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

But some people must be left behind. The ordinary people in this world are not like the people of Daxia on the blue star. The ordinary people here are almost all serfs.

Serfs have not received education, nor do they have high management ability and wisdom. If Huo Ling casts a powerful spell, he will directly kill all the people in these families.

This is cool, but it also makes this territory lose its manager in a short time. It will take some time for this territory to resume production.

And time is what Augustine lacks most now, and he will not allow such a thing to happen.

Huo Ling looked at the coordinates provided by Xili. These coordinates were calculated very accurately, saving Huo Ling the time he would waste flying on the road.

He began to cast teleportation spells in Augustine's tent and walked into the portal with big strides.
