Chapter 1562: Whetstone (It’s great that I don’t have to spend money recently)
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be so smooth."

The old general looked at the documents in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

"The Brave Army is now approaching 8,000 people. I didn't expect that His Majesty the King would be so supportive..."

After Duanmu Huai published his "Hero's Declaration", many people signed up to join the army. The king also cooperated and recruited all the troops willing to join the Hero's Army. Together with the adventurers and guards from all over the country who signed up, there were almost 8,000 people.

"It's no use looking at it now. I estimate that only about 3,000 people will be left in the end... an optimistic estimate."

Duanmu Huai was not as optimistic as the old general.

"Also, don't call them the Brave Army anymore. It would be better to change their name."

"why?"

"Because if we call ourselves the Hero Army, shouldn't we act like the heroes that people imagine us to be? Otherwise, they'll say 'This isn't the hero I imagined' or 'You don't deserve to be called a hero'... I don't want to waste time arguing over these boring things. Besides, I don't want to limit my actions just because of such an ugly name."

"So...what name are you going to give it?"

"Um……………"

Duanmu Huai stared at the document in front of him and thought for a moment.

"Let's just call it the Death Corps of Krieg."

"That name is a bit... Well, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, we'll do as you say."

Because Duanmu Huai didn't like being called a hero, everyone resorted to calling him the Judge, which was also the name Duanmu Huai was more accustomed to.

"But, Your Excellency, what do you mean by the reduction to 3,000 people?"

"It's simple. What I need are cold-blooded killers. No matter if they are men, women, old people or children, anyone who stands in front of us is an enemy and is to be killed. If they can't even do these things and only participate out of passion and the desire to save others, then they will definitely quit."

"That's true... But Your Excellency the Inquisitor, are you really going to do this?"

"You know very well that this is the best way, but you just don't want to admit it."

Duanmu Huai glanced at the old general, who smiled bitterly and said nothing.

"You may think this is cruel, but I call it efficient... Well, now that the organization of the army has come to an end, it's time to give them a little shock of the Inquisition... Let them enter the next trial."

"The next trial?"

"Yes, they must learn to adapt to the Inquisition's combat style... um... "

Duanmu Huai stared at the battle map, and then his eyes lit up.

"Let's choose White Wing City as the target of attack."

"White Wing City? Are you planning to attack the White Wing Clan?"

"Yes, according to what I know, the White Wings are a subhuman race that is die-hard supporters of the Demon King. Using them as a target can show the determination of our Inquisition, hone the will of our soldiers, and allow the world to clearly see the style of the Inquisition. It's a three-in-one deal, and I think it's great."

Duanmu Huai did not choose Baiyi City casually. He made the decision after learning about the information of this world.

The White Wings are a sub-human race. They look no different from humans, except that they have a pair of white wings, just like angels. However, there are no such things as angels in this world, so they are called the White Wings.

Well, it’s a good thing we didn’t call them angels, because these guys have never done anything human.

In the first war between the Demon King and humans, the White Wings were enslaved by the Demons as a subhuman race. Later, the Hero defeated the Demon King and rescued the White Wings from slavery. At that time, the White Wings were very grateful to the Hero and said a lot of words about their loyalty.

As a result, when the second war began, facing the aggressive Demon King's army, the White Wings slid to their knees and became part of the Demon King's army. Since the White Wings could fly and had good eyesight, they were very suitable to be scouts and messengers. In addition, humans at that time had no defense against the White Wings. Therefore, after the White Wings joined the Demon King's army, the human side was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

It was from then on that humans would no longer trust any subhuman races and would classify them all as potential enemies.

After the failure of the second war, the White Wings knew that humans would not let them go, so they decisively joined the ranks of the Demons. Moreover, they were very narcissistic and made up a set of reasons for their actions, claiming that they were God's people, and that the Demon King's extermination of humans was God's will. As God's people, they naturally had to carry out God's will. So it was not their fault to betray humans, but that humans were destined to be exterminated by the Demon King, so it was humans who were wrong.

Humans naturally want to deal with the White Wings, but these bastards have wings, can fly, and run fast, so it is difficult to catch them even on the battlefield. Moreover, the White Wings are also very popular among the demons. The position of the Wind King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, has always been controlled by the White Wings.

Although the number of White Wings is small, due to their characteristics, they pose a great threat to humans, and they are backed by the Demons, so humans can't do anything about them. Just like this White Wing City, it is located on the other side of the Summoning Kingdom, but the Summoning Kingdom can't do anything about it because it is the Demon's territory. If the Summoning Kingdom sends troops, it is like going deep into the tiger's den... And fighting the Demons in the Demon's territory is not a good choice no matter how you look at it.

However, Duanmu Huai didn't care about that. He just wanted to kill the chicken and let those monkeys know how powerful the Tribunal was.

As for the demons?

I'll kill as many as you want! If you don't come, I'll do the same thing if I go over there!

"So, how do we attack White Wing City? This city is located deep in the forest, and the White Wings patrol everywhere on weekdays. They have a good vision and can clearly see things in the distance. Although we can send troops to hide in the woods, it is not easy to defeat them in such a place, and marching in the forest..."

"These are just minor obstacles."

Duanmuhuai waved his hand.

"We don't need any strategy, we can just attack directly. But if I have to say, I do have a small request."

"what's up?"

"Get me a bunch of guys who are good at shooting."

"Shooting... you mean archery?"

"Yes."

Duanmu Huai nodded, and the old general was a little surprised.

"But even if we have good archers, it's impossible for us to shoot arrows high into the sky where the White Wings are."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Duanmu Huai obviously had no intention of explaining this question.

"Just leave the rest to me."

White Wing City.

This is a city deep in the forest, located on a high mountain cliff. From here, you can even see the fortress of the Summoning Kingdom in the distance. However, for the White Wings, this distance is not a threat at all. They are very confident that even if they are here, those humans can't do anything to them.

On the one hand, the White Wing City was surrounded by towering cliffs, with no access at all. Unless one was a flying demon or the White Wings, it was impossible to enter the city from the ground. On the other hand, even if humans could use flying magic, the White Wings' eyesight and archery skills were not good enough.

So they can sit here leisurely and watch the mortals below struggling to survive in the world.

Of course, the White Wings are not without weaknesses. That is, at night, their vision will be greatly reduced. Although it is still better than that of humans, they cannot clearly lock onto enemies on the ground from high altitudes like they can during the day. But even so, the White Wings are not too worried.

Anyway, as long as it is daytime, they can patrol in the sky. Even above the clouds, they can easily see every move on the ground. Nothing can hide from the eyes of the White Wing Tribe.

That is why they were so surprised when they saw this strange thing that was completely contrary to common sense.

"What the hell is that?"

Holding a bow and arrow, flapping its wings, the White Wings, floating in the air, stared with wide eyes, looking ahead. In the distance, an extremely huge monster was marching forward in the forest. It looked like an extremely huge, metal golem, and on the back of this golem was a magnificent church. Under the sunlight, this golden giant shone brightly, full of a strange beauty.

"Is this the Demon King's army's new weapon?"

It is no wonder that the White Wing Tribe would make such a judgment. After all, the huge metal monster in front of them looks ferocious, and its face is a huge skull. No matter how you look at it, it looks like something that only the demons would use.

"But that's the direction of the human kingdom, right? Did the Demon King's army attack humans? But there's no sign of an attack at all."

Another White Wing Clan member put his hand on his forehead and looked into the distance, then…

"Whoosh!"

With a slight sound, the White Wing Clan lowered his head and saw that his chest and lower abdomen had disappeared, leaving only a huge semicircular hole. Before he could react to what happened, the next moment the White Wing Clan's head and upper body were also shattered.

"Huh...huh..."

Lillian took a deep breath, gripped the handle tightly with her right hand, and stared at the enemy in front of her through the scope.

According to the brave man, as long as you aim at the enemy with the cross in this circle, you can lock the opponent, and then...

Lillian pulled the trigger again.

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Accompanied by huge recoil, the anti-aircraft machine gun spewed out countless bullets, which turned into a rainstorm and enveloped the White Wing Tribe in front of them.

At the same time, the Iron Titan quickened its pace, cleared a path through the forest, and rushed towards the nearby White Wing City.

The battle has begun.
