Chapter 261 Belch Orders Troops
[Fellows and folks, folks and folks~ I have an announcement! 】
"..."
Belsi completely ignored the mad mage girl. He stood on the high platform of the castle and looked at the citizens gathered below.
In the entire territory, all professionals below level five are gathered here... and there are even many non-professionals.
By the way, can't you just live in peace?
Belsi was very sure that these people were not just coming to watch the show, but also wanted to participate in the war... It was really impossible to participate in the war at level 0.
Absolutely not.
"Everyone, first of all, thank you very much for coming...Thank you for being able to stand here at this moment."
Belch said, scanning everyone below, whether they were demons, lizardmen, or humans...
Before I knew it, so many people had gathered in the Northern Territory.
Different races have gathered here now, as if they have been on good terms from the beginning, putting aside the constraints of ordinary thinking.
It becomes like a big, big [home].
Like a tribe... or something.
"I believe everyone already knows...the devil who has occupied Yaoyi City has signed a war contract with the kingdom."
"However, I am not affiliated with the Kingdom... Maybe the Northern Territory is part of the Kingdom, but I personally feel that I am not."
"..."
Belsi's words were actually quite shocking. The underlying meaning of these words was that... he was not loyal to the kingdom.
A [Marquis] said such words.
The severity of this situation is actually no less serious than what the devil did... or even more serious.
After all, if a [Marquis] raises his voice, many people who also want to rebel may gather.
But at this moment, all residents of the Northern Territory are very quiet.
What should I say?
Many residents are not particularly interested in the [Kingdom]. Although they cannot be said to be disgusted, it is obviously impossible to be very loyal.
Only a small number of human knights made slight movements, but they reminded me of the beauty of the Northern Territory and the handsome and beautiful boss Belsi.
They still chose to listen quietly.
To the people of the Northern Territory, Belsi and several leaders were so high up in the kingdom that they didn't know where they were.
It can be said that when Belsi needs them to sacrifice their lives, many of them will do it without hesitation...the other part will first ask what happened and then do it.
The current atmosphere in the Northern Territory is actually quite strange. There seems to be a kind of extreme respect and fanaticism, but the degree is very mild and it will probably not continue to get serious.
Much better than the fanatical clergy of the White Dove Holy Kingdom.
However, from what Boss Belsi said, it seems that he doesn’t want to fight a war? Are you caring about our lives?
In the thinking of the citizens...
"But I think it's time."
Bel Xi said this, causing everyone to look at him... The light of the morning sun shone, making his entire dragon shine brightly.
But the red and black scales did not make him look more righteous, but against the light, he looked even more [evil].
But rather than the evil of [evil] or the evil of [evil nature], it is more appropriate to say the evil of [evil charm].
"It's time to highlight the existence of the Northern Territory, it's time to make [our] reputation prominent, and it's time to openly admit our specialness."
Bel Xi said this without any particular emotion in his tone, but the people below were visibly excited.
However, Belsey didn't think there was anything to get excited about - excitement would have to wait at least until the celebration, and it wasn't time to get excited yet.
Now it is just the simplest pre-war mobilization. If we are too excited, we will look down on the [battlefield].
Again, people will die on the battlefield.
Belsi felt that he needed to correct this trend, so he simply said: "However, I don't want to see your excitement."
"Your passion and excitement will be unnecessary in the future battlefield... I need you to be calm and obedient."
Belsi's words were no less than a bucket of cold water, instantly dousing the newly ignited atmosphere and making the entire venue quiet.
But what is very interesting is that after the flame is extinguished, what remains is not unburnable ashes.
But cold coal.
Only a flame that is ignited at the most appropriate moment can be called a meaningful flame... Belsch is very satisfied with this kind of silence.
Hiding the edge in the sheath is like this.
"Very good, great. I'm so lucky to be your boss... Then, the next step is to recruit troops."
Belsi commented with praise without hesitation, and then announced with a smile: "Except for the leader who stays, the citizens below the fourth level and below the fourth level... please come back."
As soon as these words came out, many professionals who had originally expected to participate in the battle were immediately disappointed and left the venue one after another.
Nesta was leaning against the corner, holding Cat Druid in her hands. She looked at the venue and raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Meow~ Do you see it, meow?"
Regarding the words of the Cat Druid in her arms, Nesta looked at the fourth-level professionals left on the field, and she nodded lightly.
"Execution...terrible."
Nesta was evaluating, looking at all the third-level and below professionals who had left, and sighed: "I originally thought there would be some who wanted to keep them."
"Yes, meow~ As a result... they neither complained nor asked anything, they all obeyed me, meow~"
The Cat Druid's eyes shone a little, and then he felt something again and looked in the direction of the woods nearby.
Over there, there seemed to be a dryad and a fire elemental listening.
Who is that?
"Those are the Lord of the Black Stone and her brother... they should just listen to what Bel Xi said and don't need to pay attention."
Nesta said this and shifted her gaze in the direction of Bel Xi again.
"..."
"..."
"First of all, not all of you here will participate in the war, and some races will not adapt to the battlefield environment... I will ask the leaders of each race about this."
Belsi made a statement in advance, and then suddenly spoke:
"I! Nananoshima Semu! Third sister! Da Zhuang! Sebubelia! Herilinde will definitely lead their respective subordinates to join the battle."
This is what was agreed in advance. The mage girl will lead the team of non-human elite spell casters, Da Zhuang will lead the priests, Sebu Belia will lead the human spell casters, and Herilinde will lead all the human knights.
Logically speaking, Helilind should lead the demons, but none of the demons she brought to the main plane before were at the fourth level.
During this time, Herilinde has taken over the mantle of the original knight captain and led the knights.
As for the former captain of the Northern Knights, he is not dead, but he is old and his strength is slowly declining as time goes by.
After asking Belsi to take him for a flight, he happily told Belsi about his retirement and retired to the Northern Territory.
It can be considered that he was transferred from a front-line staff to a logistics officer... and became an instructor in the Northern Territory, responsible for setting up the daily training plans for the combatants.
Herilinde is not very skilled in this area yet.
"Besides that, Ex-Machina...huh?"
Belsi looked at the Ex-Machina leader and members who were dressed in gray robes and for some reason gave him a familiar feeling. They were dressed exactly the same.
There are eleven in number.
Why does it feel like the Ex-Machina assassin that attacked me before?
But...it just looks like it, right? These mechas don't look like assassins.
Belch looked hesitantly at the Ex-Machina who were holding big swords and long swords with metal limbs, and said, "The Ex-Machina is participating in the battle... Do you have any questions?"
In response, the Ex-Machina leader nodded and responded with a mechanical voice that Belsi couldn't tell who was who: "We! We will definitely join the battle! Eleven Ex-Machina warriors, at your command."
It seems like there's nothing wrong... warrior?
[Brother, the loyalty of these machines is not very high... but it is not very low either, almost at the level of ordinary respect. 】
[But I haven’t seen too many Ex-Machina. Maybe Ex-Machina are just like that, they don’t have any emotions. 】
In Nanajima Semu's words, Belsi felt that she could rest assured... because this was enough.
If the food is delicious, it is enough to praise it. There is no need to know the cook.
"Little flower demon!"
Bel Xi said, looking at the excited little flower demons, and said mercilessly: "Keep them all in my territory... You are the same as the fourth and first level!"
In response, those little flower demons immediately showed their crotch-stretching expressions.
Although Bel Xi said it unpleasantly, it was the fact... As the little flower demons improved in class, their ability to grow flowers had made a qualitative leap.
But even so, they are really just flowers.
On the battlefield, planting flowers on other people's graves?
Although at the fifth level, the gap between races will gradually begin to level off, it is [gradually] after all, and it takes the fifth level.
So it’s really better for these little flower demons not to join the war.
"The same goes for the lizard people. Let's lead the clan members to work hard to become stronger first. Black Stone Pearl...it won't be too late to show your power later."
Regarding Bel Xi's words, the leader of the lizardmen named [Black Stone Pearl] responded innocently and in unskilled common language: "The guide from the nest."
Next up is…
"Tristolan, except for the wood elves, the rangers and archers are all left to you. I think you will not lack the experience of leading a team."
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
"..."
"Yeti Nigelron..."
Belsi called the leader of the drow elf by his name, and he fearfully avoided the opponent whose eyes were filled with love, and said: "Similarly, in addition to the drow participating in the war, the assassin profession is also left to you. "
"Yes~~~~"
Although Ye Ti Nigelron's voice in response was a little pink, Belsi pretended that nothing was wrong and completed the follow-up arrangements.
After screening out a large group of people, those who remained in front of Bel Xi were still a large group of people.
Looking around, they are all fourth-level professionals.
There are about six to seven hundred people... Although it doesn't sound like a lot, if you think about it, you will understand that these people are not just [people].
If you want to describe it in the same way that Belch used it before his time travel...
It's equivalent to six or seven hundred missile vehicles, or six or seven hundred tanks, or even six or seven hundred Gundams... No, it's probably not at the Gundam level yet.
Such strength is already quite outrageous.
It's a pity that in this world, when you encounter higher-level monsters, you are still like wheat being harvested.
And there is a very serious problem with such a unit.
That is logistics and supplies. Logistics here does not refer to food, because all six to seven hundred troops are elites. Normally...
For example, the number of troops on the princess' side far exceeds this number, although it is not just fourth-level professionals, but also many other professionals.
Moreover, the number of troops in the Northern Territory is really incomparable to that of the eldest princess, who is still a royal family no matter what.
Logistics here refers to supply lines.
Logistics requirements also include the need for healing potions. On the battlefield, the priest's treatment is [combat therapy], and the recovery is real-time, so the priest's magic power is quite precious.
For injured soldiers who have retired from the front line, the need for healing potions is a big problem. In addition, it may be difficult to carry the supplies well...
A considerable number of logistics troops are required, and they may be intercepted.
From the Northern Territory or the eldest princess's side, all the way to Yuanyicheng, this kind of front is actually a bit too long.
But... that's a normal army.
Belshi and Nananashima Semu, because Nananashima Semu cheated the same system, they also had the same cheating solution.
"All materials and logistics are carried by Nananoshima Semu on the march. They are piled up when stationed and can be used at any time."
Belsi said this, looking at Nananashima Semu who was greeting him with a tentacle hanging on his head... This is the solution.
Moreover, it is said to be [marching with them], but in fact it is directly drawn from the system warehouse, and food and other things are directly transferred here. You can take as much as you want.
"In addition, regarding the distribution plan of therapeutic potions..."
Belsi said, under everyone's gaze, when the Cat Druid raised his head, he calculated the number of potions in the territory.
"Meow~ Healing potion... By the way, the Northern Territory seems to produce its own healing potion, meow~"
Cat Druid commented like this, and said to Nesta: "Healing medicine is very effective on the battlefield, meow. You only need to ration one bottle per person to ensure continuous combat effectiveness for a long time..."
However, Cat Druid soon realized that she didn't need to explain this to Nesta... Nesta should be more familiar with her.
"No, meow, there's no need to say this..."
After all, when Nesta was a judge of the Holy See, she broke out several pagan nations on the battlefield...she should be very familiar with war.
"Potions...how many potions are there in our territory?"
Nesta asked, seemingly as a question, but actually she was just talking to herself... because she had seen it before.
I have seen the [sea] that looks like an endless mountain range and is made up of healing potions. It is a real red sea.
"Let's allocate ten or twenty bottles to each person first. If there are not enough, let's wait and see!"
"..."
"Meow?!!!"
