The gluttonous dragon starts from the plane of hell

Chapter 282 The Power of Branding
"What? Discovered?! Huge losses?"

The demon who shouted like this was currently sitting in the main hall of Beigang City, and he was angrily cursing another demon who was reporting on the ground.

"You trash! You went to attack a human territory, and you came back to tell me that the volcanic rocks were also lost there?!"

This scolding in Abyssal Language made the leader of the demon very angry.

If it were these ordinary demons, he wouldn't care how much they lost, but the loss of elite units... really made him feel distressed.

"Captain, they have... very powerful ballistae."

A demon defended and explained to the captain: "And they seem to be very rich, and the arrows are like free money."

The other demons nodded in agreement with his statement...

The overwhelming rain of arrows was like falling meteorites, bombarding them indiscriminately.

However, the Demon Captain would not accept their defeat because of this.

"Haha, what a joke, just find some excuses!"

With such scolding, the demon captain did not believe what they said... Heavy crossbows may exist, but the so-called "free arrows" are just a fantasy.

"It's not a mana cannon or a catapult. How can it be possible for a mere noble territory, a noble territory on the main plane, to use so extravagantly heavy crossbows?"

In this regard, other demons can only hesitate, but they still want to curse people... They just use it, what can they do.

After a while, the demon captain seemed to have had enough scolding and showed a sighing expression:
"We are the vanguard of the Demon King, and we want to gain a firm foothold for the Demon King's layout in the main plane... When the Demon King's annexed city melts in, we find that we have suffered heavy losses. Is it ridiculous?"

In response, the demons lowered their heads, indicating that they knew they were wrong.

"..."

But the Demon Captain's words undoubtedly revealed their true identity...the Demon King's advance troops.

Maybe I should have thought of it earlier, after all, these demons are not weak.

Even in the abyss where strong men are everywhere, it is still a well-trained army, and most of the demons are fourth level.

There are even ten or even nine fifth-level demons.

Unfortunately, one of the three volcanic rock demons had just been lost in the battle... Logically speaking, they should be able to melt the flying arrows.

Wooden crossbows will burn as they fly, and even steel will drip molten iron, reducing their power.

I can only say that it is really a pity.

However, the demon captain's confession was not considered a revelation because there were no informants around him.

It will take some time for the Northern Territory to know their true identity...right?
"The captain is so verbose..."'

"That's right."

"But the enemy is really strong."

"That's right."

"The captain also said that he would go there in person, as he felt that he would be beaten back in despair."

"That's right……"

"..."

A demon who was chatting with a fellow demon next to him was speechless: "Brother, can you say anything else besides [that's right]?"

In response, the demon who kept saying "That's right" nodded, and he looked at the lava lake flowing under the volcanic rock demon.

I really want to fish.

Then, I immediately realized that it was time to get down to business.

"Haha, I will definitely say something else."

The demon laughed twice and looked at the noble camp not far away from Beigang City... You could clearly see the flag of the Archduke of Beasts on their camp.

But there is no doubt that they are not the troops of the Dukedom of Beasts.

He now directly asks, "Brother, do you know the true identities of these people?" This is definitely not possible.

What if all the demons knew it from the beginning?

Then he would be exposed.

"If those humans had fought with us today, maybe our losses wouldn't have been so great. It's really hateful."

In his voice, another demon nodded in agreement: "That is to say, every time it is us who work desperately, and then they come to take over the territory and then promote their doctrines."

"But who calls them followers of His Highness the Demon King? I heard that some of them can be blessed by His Highness the Demon King's brand."

To what he said, the [yes] demon did not respond, but silently wrote down the information verbatim.

"What's wrong, brother? Why don't you speak?"

"Haha, it's nothing."

----------

"Here comes the news. It's the advance team of the [Fallen Heaven Demon King] who is trying to start the layout in the main plane... and the Fallen Heaven affiliated city will be melted after cooperation."

"Those who hang the banner of the Lord of Beasts are followers of the Fallen Demon King... and they seem to be highly valued by the Fallen Demon King."

Belsi said simply, holding his chin: "It seems that the main plane is not colluding with the abyss demon... nor is it specifically targeting me."

To be precise, the other party just wants to grab territory and occupy cities and territories with a large population, in order to...

[Believer...Does the Demon King actually care about face so much? 】

Semu Nananoshima complained, and she also imitated Belsi's movements and supported her chin: [I don't know if there are any benefits, like the "power of faith" or something like that. 】

"The power of faith... feels like a good vulgar setting."

As he said this, Belsi yawned. As a result, his words made the knowledgeable people present bewildered, and they were all stunned.

Whether it was Nesta, Cat Druid, Kailin or other people at level [-] or above, they were all dumbfounded.

Why are Bersi and Nananoshima Semu, who are supposed to be still [sleeping (not knowing the truth)], saying such things so naturally.

Say words like [Power of Faith] naturally,
Did he wake up for some reason?Or... did you simply rely on your own reasoning ability to guess it?

But there is no such precedent in this world.

"correct."

Belxi seemed to have thought of something and said: "Classmate Huyou's demigod pet seems to have said that there are three systems of power in this world."

"Conventional power, demigod power, snake scale powder power."

In Belshe's words, Nananoshima Semu guessed: [Conventional power refers to magic power, level A attack power, etc., right? 】

[Snake Scale Powder is also easy to understand. Nesta immediately cheats as soon as she presses the Snake Scale Powder. The powerful Dark Sky Wave Sword is also Snake Scale Powder. 】

[Although it is called Yuangui. 】

However, Semu Nananoshima is not sure how the power of demigods is distinguished from regular power... Is it the power of the legendary rules?

"The fox said that the power of demigods has something in common with the class of gods. It is probably the power of faith, so the devil wants more believers."

Bel Xi said, then shook his head and stopped thinking about this topic.

At this time, Nesta and other high-level professionals were already shocked by the association ability of Belsi and Semu Nananashima.In fact, this is normal.

Just like it is difficult for modern people to guess that there is a power system called [Starting Power].

In this world, faith is just a simple act, just like turning on the game console in Belshe's world.

Faith is the act of asking gods for strength and protection.

But no one can imagine that gods can gain power by being believed in. No one can guess.

However, as time travellers, Belsi and Semu Nananoshima, similar concepts have been seen in countless online novels and comics and animations.

"..."

"Well, our people also said that there will be an attack tonight, right? It may be a tough battle. Let's buy more heavy crossbows."

Bel Xi, who said this, nodded to everyone here: "Everyone, let's go have a rest and refresh ourselves. Let's stay up late together at night, prepare to fight, prepare to fight!"

Under Bel Xi's arrangement, everyone dispersed.

However, Kailin and Nesta obviously got together: "Hey, are Belsi and Slime's speculations normal?"

Nesta didn't want to answer this question because she knew that Kailin already had the answer in her heart.

"..."

"Even if a demigod casually said something or complained about something, and Belxi and the others took it to heart, they wouldn't have guessed that... belief would bring strength, right? Ah? What do you think?"

Nesta still did not answer the question directly, and the reason was the same as before... Kailin had an answer in her own mind to the question she asked.

"maybe……"

Therefore, Nesta just said this. She was not very interested in whether Belsi and Nanajima Semu should know this.

She was thinking about something else.

"But is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

Saying this, Nesta sighed a little. She sighed: "The Demon King and the Hero should have the belief that [this is the Demon King] and [this is the Hero], but now the belief is obviously biased."

The beliefs gathered now are definitely not "This is the Demon King" or "This is the Hero", but "This is our boss", "This is our second child (referring to Nananashima Semu)" and the like.

It can only be said that Belsi and Nanajima Semu look more like themselves in their faith.

This requires much lower anchor points.

Probably... a good thing.

----------

While Nesta and Kailin were talking about this, Belxi and Nanajima Semu were patrolling the city wall.

Spend some wood resources from time to time to build a few more heavy ballistae at key defense points.

[I thought it was a loss at first, but now it seems to be quite a bargain. Hum~ This is foresight, foresight. 】

Semu Nananoshima was very happy, spending the wood resources in the territory: [Unfortunately, there is not enough wood, otherwise it would have been a saturation fire strike. 】

The saturation firepower coverage is fierce.

Although the number of ranger troops in many territories in this world also supports arrow rain coverage, their gold coins do not support it.

Although arrows are not expensive, they cannot be said to be cheap.

Moreover, the saturation firepower of Arrow Rain and the saturation firepower of extremely huge super heavy crossbows are not at the same level.

[When the lord's castle is upgraded to another level, I can research the technology of the continuous-fire ballista. After that, I can shoot two arrows in a row with one string. 】

Semu Nananoshima has already begun to imagine that after he has mastered technology, he has begun to focus on territorial development ideas that promote urbanization.

When the time comes, the super airship will be launched directly to conquer the world.

"..."

[Brother, what are you thinking about? 】

Regarding Nananoshima Semu's words, Belsi, who had always remained silent, blinked and waved his tail hesitantly: "I was thinking about [Brand Blessing]."

The devil informant sent before said that those who believe in the devil have a chance to receive the blessing of the brand... This term seems familiar.

[Is the imprint fused? 】

Semu Nananoshima also thought of something, extended his tentacles long, and patted Belxi's dragon butt: [I don't know how big brother and I can be fused. 】

Whatever you melt is melted into nothing.

Belsi rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't there something called [Brand of Holy Light] among my abilities?"

Belsch has been using it recently.

To be honest, Belsi seems to have a lot of abilities, but when it comes to fighting, he only has three axes - bite, dragon's breath, and holy light.

Other abilities are not very useful, so you need to find an opportunity to integrate them.

Even the claw attack was no longer used, because among the melee combat methods, Belsi found that his teeth did the most damage.

[Yes, the Brand of Holy Light... Although this is also a brand, it is an ability of the good side of order, right? 】

Semu Nanajima knew what Belxi was thinking, and she complained: [The Demon King's blessing brand feels like the kind of thing that will turn evil into a magical girl if given to it. 】

Is this the curse of ruin you are talking about?

"I always feel that my [Brand of Holy Light] is somehow related to the Demon King's blessing brand. If I have a chance to eat the Demon King, I might find out."

Bel Xi said this, and then shook his head: "But I got the brand by myself, not a blessing given to me by the God of Light or something... It's not necessarily true."

"When Manares gave me the feather, he said it contained [the seed of holy light]. I wonder if this [seed of holy light] could be the [brand blessing] given to all angels by the God of Light. After I ate it, it became my ability.”

Belch's inference is very bold, but the logic in it is very reasonable.

[So... is branding a special power? 】

Semu Nananoshima hesitated: [According to the previous classification, what is the blessing of the brand?Routine or divine power? 】

First of all, we must exclude snake scale powder.

So, is it conventional power or the power of faith (tentative name)?

Belsi thought for a moment, and thought of the huge cross he had released, which exploded from the enemy's body, and the huge cross released by Nesta.

That is the power of God... Yes, Nesta said that that day in the Northland Church!

Belsey remembered.

"That day at the Northland Church, when Nesta took us out of the church that was about to be blasted, did she say..."

[Well, "The Holy Inquisitor's brand has been engraved... Now let's run quickly, this is the power from God, and the relatives will not recognize it!", right? 】

【Eh?The brand of the Holy Judgment?Why is this a brand? 】

When Nananashima Semu suddenly realized something and seemed to understand something, Belxi also understood it.

"The so-called [Brand] is actually the power category of gods and demigods. Is it a plan to use the power of faith?"

"perhaps?"
