Devil's Doom Row

Chapter 445 Heading North
Jill and the courtesan came back at just the right time. On the fourth day after Luo Ming took over the mission, they came to the territory of Poison Rose. Not only did they bring troops, but they also left Luo Ming a day to prepare.

As for the troops brought by the two, they also did not disappoint Luo Ming.

The troops Jill brought back reached the scale of eleven squads, including two squads of skeleton warriors, two squads of skeleton archers, and the remaining seven squads were all skeleton soldiers; There were relatively more troops. She brought a total of twelve squads, but only two squads of skeleton soldiers were among the twelve squads, and the remaining ten squads were all low-level skeleton soldiers.

The troops brought back by the two of them together amounted to 23 squads, which was not bad enough. When added to the troops in Luo Ming's hands, the total size of his troops was just over [-], which just met Forbeck's requirements. .

However, although the total size of the troop is sufficient, the quality has actually declined; no way, the troop quantity brought by Jill and the courtesan may not be small, but the quality is too low. This is mainly due to the fact that the lowest-level skeleton soldiers account for The ratio is too large, reaching as many as seventeen squads, and these seventeen squads are nearly a thousand low-level soldiers!Therefore, although the overall size of the troops has been expanded, the quality of the troops has also been lowered a lot.

But fortunately, this situation was already expected by Luo Ming, because the sources of these troops all came from the demons who signed the slavery contract with him. After the enslavement contract, all of them were sluggish, because most of their income was handed over to Luo Ming, and their own territory could hardly get any development. Even the troops handed over this time were all made before signing the contract. So Luo Ming didn't have any expectations for the quality of these troops at all, as long as the quantity was sufficient, his requirements would be met.

But Jill and the courtesan brought Luo Ming's troops in front of him, and brought another surprise, that is, they also brought three great demons!

Yes, this time Jill not only brought troops from the demons who signed a slavery contract with Luo Ming, but also brought three of those demons!

"You mean... she promised you that if she joins me in the war... I will release the bond of slavery on you?"

After counting the troops, Luo Ming had already returned to the Demon Palace, facing Zuo Jing, Gerry, and Warren, the three great demons who came back with Jill.

All three of them were demons conquered by Luo Ming during his last southern expedition. Among them, Valen was one of the first demons Luo Ming conquered, while Zuo Jing and Gerry turned against Luo Ming's coercion.

And after Luo Ming said a word, the three of them nodded repeatedly, and at the same time the only female demon among the three, Zuo Jing, also said: "Master Jill promised us that as long as we go out with him, he will touch the slavery on us." contract."

"Oh……"

Hearing Zuo Jing's words, Luo Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Jill.

Seeing Luo Ming looking at him, Jill shrugged directly, looking innocent and even a bit rascal.

Her slight behavior made Luo Ming quite helpless, because obviously, he did not say those words, and Jill's actions were "false transmission of the imperial decree", but Luo Ming could understand why she did this, Jill This approach is not helping Zuo Jing, Ge Li, and Valen escape from her clutches, but she is helping herself!

Because Zuo Jing, Gerry, and Warren are big demons after all, they may be difficult to develop because of the signing of the slave contract, but the foundation is there; before they were conquered by Luo Ming, the strength of the three They are not considered weak, so even if they are signed a slavery contract, but the foundation is still there, the strength of the big devil level is definitely not empty.

In this case, if they can go out with Luo Ming, they will definitely play an important role on the battlefield, because the strength of the great demon is obviously stronger than the soldiers in the Mowu hall. Using the most rough method to compare, Each of them can display a combat effectiveness equivalent to that of a squad of soldiers of the same level on the battlefield, or even higher!This is unmatched by any soldier, and even the special soldiers who have endured the baptism of the Misery Pool cannot be compared with real demons.

So after receiving Luo Ming's instructions and seeing these enslaved demons, Jill not only confiscated their troops, but also tried his best to persuade them to follow him to go out with Luo Ming!
Of course, Jill, who has been in hell with Luo Ming for a long time, knows very well that in hell, especially when negotiating terms with the devil, she must give enough benefits, so... she decided on her own He drew up the conditions for Luo Ming.

But even so, in the end, only Zuo Jing, Gerry, and Varun agreed to her conditions, and the other demons did not come.

And relying on Jill's understanding, Luo Ming can not only imagine these things, but even imagine how she looks like when she negotiates with these demons in front of her. This makes Luo Ming feel funny and warm at the same time, because this kind of Sometimes, only Jill can really think for herself, and can think of a really useful way to help herself.

It's just... Jill is obviously not good at this kind of thing, because in Luo Ming's opinion, if he really wants these demons in front of him to join the battle, he doesn't need to put any conditions on them at all, as long as he says a word, they must come, don't forget But they signed a contract with the 'Alliance'!
The contract that Luo Ming signed with these demons clearly stipulated: After the contract takes effect, these demons must fulfill their alliance obligations when Luo Ming needs them, and fully meet all of Luo Ming's requirements, including but not limited to providing support at any time, and handing over full authority to the command of the troops. Coordinated attacks, providing needed supplies, requisitioning territories, etc. There is such a rule that as long as Luo Ming speaks, the demons that have signed a contract with him must be at his disposal at any time, including participating in this battle.

It was precisely because of this that Luo Ming was able to forcibly recruit troops from them, whether the demons were willing or not.

But if this is the case, why didn't Luo Ming send all the demons who signed the contract directly?But only recruited their troops?

It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but in Luo Ming's view, these demons are very important to him, at least to himself at this stage. Their existence can not only provide him with continuous and substantial income, but their The territory can also become a barrier to protect yourself. If you call them all over this time, if there is an accident during the journey and these people die, then even if you can finally return to the territory, you will be seriously injured. Some losses outweigh the gains.

But having said that, since Jill has already brought the other party, Luo Ming will not cool Jill's heart. At the same time, he also feels that it seems a good choice to take the three people in front of him, because even if the three of them die in the During the journey, Luo Ming would not be affected by injuries. In addition, the troops brought by Ming Yun did not meet expectations, and these three people could just make up for the lack in this respect.

It's just that Luo Ming absolutely cannot agree to the conditions that Jill told them!Lift the slavery contract?no kidding!

So after glancing at Jill, Luo Ming turned to Zuo Jing, Gerry, and Warren, and said at the same time:

"I think you misunderstood what I said."

Although he will not agree to Jill's conditions, it is impossible for Luo Ming to say that he has not agreed. He said with a smile:

"What I mean is, if the three of you are willing to go out with me and do your best along the way, I can consider changing the terms of the contract with you as appropriate, for example... After each mission is over, you can keep more Use a little soul for yourself."

In just one sentence, Luo Ming changed the conditions Jill said, from directly terminating the contract to changing the terms of the contract. The difference between the two is obviously far away, and it is not very reliable.

Sure enough, after Luo Ming finished speaking, the three people on the opposite side were taken aback for a moment, and then frowned.

The three of them also have a more or less understanding of the current situation, knowing that they have been inevitably involved in the lord's war, and as outsiders, they must choose sides in this war, otherwise they will die. It will become the target of both sides to eliminate; and for these three people, they have no choice after signing the contract with Luo Ming, they must follow Luo Ming and stand on Mary's side.

Under such circumstances, Jill's arrival did not surprise them, and they obediently handed over their troops without resistance. However, what surprised them was that Jill actually proposed conditions to them, and it was still a contact contract. Conditions for the price!This made the three of them overjoyed. After all, no one wants to be the slave of others and hand over their hard-earned souls, so the three of them agreed immediately!
Anyway, it is inevitable for them to join this war. It is expected that they will be half dead as slaves, so it is better to fight on the battlefield!
It's a pity that although they had a good idea, when they arrived at Luo Ming's place, it was completely different from what they had imagined. This inevitably disappointed the three of them.

So after being slightly taken aback, the three of them looked at each other, and Zuo Jing said again:
"But my lord, Jill said you meant it..."

"That's why you misunderstood!"

Before Zuo Jing could finish speaking, Luo Ming's expression changed directly, and he interrupted her saying: "What you understand is different from what I mean, that's your problem, or do you want me to reflect on you?" Come and listen to what you have to say?!"

Eyes widened in an instant, Luo Ming said with an unfriendly expression and tone: "Did you forget that you still have a contract with you? Or do you need me to remind you of the contract!"

"I tell you, Lady Mary has given a clear order that if you don't join the war, you are the enemy. I can kill you now and get rewards! So letting you follow me to fight is to give you a way to survive, and to change your life." The opportunity of the contract is my kindness, don't give your face any more and don't push yourself!"

Looking angrily at Zuo Jing, Gerry, and Valen, Luo Ming said to them without showing any sympathy, and then waved his hand without giving them a chance to speak: "Go down, go down!" Think carefully about where you are in this war and what you should do, and I hope you can all think clearly when you set off tomorrow!"

Luo Ming is so strong, no, it should be said that Zuo Jing, Gerry, and Valen were all fooled by his tough attitude. They really didn't expect Luo Ming to say the above words, because they thought Luo Ming really needs help from people like himself. After all, in the lord war, he is just a small character who is stronger than people like himself. But he didn't expect Luo Ming to be so tough, and he directly put on a fundamental I don't care about them, and I even want to kill them if I don't like it!

In this way, the three of them didn't know what to say, and they forgot all what they planned to say, and finally they could only obediently go out without saying a word.

"I... Did I cause trouble for you?"

And after the three of them left, Jill looked at Luo Ming like a little girl who made a mistake for the first time, and said apologetically.

Because when Luo Ming said the last words, Jill suddenly realized her mistake, there was absolutely no need for her to negotiate any conditions with these demons!Luo Ming could actually use the contract to force them to follow his expedition, and Luo Ming must know this, so since he didn't do so, there must be a reason.

So after thinking about this, Jill knew that he might have done something wrong with good intentions. Instead of helping Luo Ming, his self-assessment seemed to have caused him a lot of trouble, such as making him agree to Zuo Ming for no reason. Jing, Gerry, and Warren changed the conditions of the contract together, which was not necessary in the first place.

"Of course not, and I want to thank you for bringing them."

But at this time, Luo Ming smiled slightly, without any intention of blaming Jill; this is Luo Ming, he will never be soft on outsiders, but he is not like this when he treats his own people.

After that, Luo Ming said to Ming Yun and Poison Rose:

"There is no need to discuss anything today, everyone has a good rest, and we will set off tomorrow!"

After saying this, Luo Ming left the hall first, and returned to the room Poison Rose had prepared for him. Looking at the back of his departure, everyone present knew that Luo Ming said he was letting everyone rest, but In fact, with his character, he will never really take a break. He wants to be alone and have a quiet time, and sort out everything that has been discussed and prepared these days, so as to make complete preparations. .

In this way, one day passed quickly, and when the next day came, it happened to be the last day of the five-day period set by Forbeck.

Early the next morning, a group of people including Luo Ming, Ming Yun, Poison Rose, Zuo Jing, Gerry, and Valen all appeared on Poison Rose's territory, and behind them was a mighty Five thousand troops!

At this time, Luo Ming had already made all the preparations for the expedition, and when everyone arrived, he set off directly, leading a large group of troops to leave the territory of Poison Rose and head north!

The size of the troops led by Luo Ming this time may not be large or even very small in terms of the entire lord war, but for him personally, this is the largest number of troops he has led in all previous expeditions!The largest expedition Luo Ming led before was the battle with Osona. At that time, the number of troops in Luo Ming's hands was close to three squadrons. The size of three squadrons was not small, but compared with this time, it was still far behind. Far.

This time Luo Ming's troops have reached 38. Among the 21 troops, there are [-] squads of skeleton soldiers, [-] squads of skeleton warriors, [-] squads of skeleton archers, and [-] squads The bone knights constituted the main force, and its scale reached more than [-]% of the total force of the army. In addition, the five thousand troops also included four teams of goat-headed mages, two teams of heavy armored skeletons, In addition, there are seven squads of mutated soldiers. The proportion of these troops is very small, only accounting for about [-]% of the total force, but their quality is quite high. They can be regarded as Luo Ming's trump card and elite troops.

It was the first time for Luo Ming to lead such an army on an expedition, and the danger of this expedition had long been in front of his eyes, so it is natural to imagine how great the pressure was on him.

This kind of pressure directly caused Luo Ming to become taciturn after leading the army out of the territory of the poisonous rose. He hardly spoke along the way.

Under such circumstances, Ming Yun, Poisonous Rose and the others did not dare to disturb him. Without mounts, they could only silently follow the army like Zuo Jing, Ge Li, and Varen, and kept going under the leadership of Luo Ming. Head north.

Just like that, two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the atmosphere during these two days had been extremely depressed, because Luo Ming not only did not return to his previous appearance, but became more silent, and he had not even opened his mouth for a whole day. Having said that, his performance not only made the atmosphere dead, but also put a lot of pressure on others invisibly!
Fortunately, on the third day after they left, Luo Ming finally spoke up!

In the evening of this day, Luo Ming stopped the entire army and planned to rest for the night, and it was also on this night that he summoned everyone to his side.

"Everyone."

Looking at the crowd in front of him, including Ming Yun, Poison Rose, Zuo Jing, Gerry, and Valen, Luo Ming said with a serious expression:

"Tomorrow is the first battle of our expedition. I hope you can prepare well. This battle is of great importance. We must not lose!"
