Looking down from the sky, there were many bun-like tents lined up in the mountains ahead. And I couldn't help but think that if there were humans flying in the sky like us to scout, wouldn't the location of the Demon's camp be completely exposed? In case the human army surrounded the camp of the demons wouldn’t the situation be reversed?
"It doesn't matter if our camp is exposed, they found out and don't dare to go deeper, because the most important thing for the humans now is to defend the city."
Because there were too much wind on the back of Cross, the master uttered the words in a very low voice. However, I heard every word, after all, I am not a human now.
As a military idiot, I should not ask such a retarded question in my mind.
The master landed at the foot of a hill far from the camp. It was clear that he could fly directly into the camp.
"We will be attacked by the enemies."
I didn't expect the master to answer me again. I followed the master and jumped down Cross with a little embarrassed, Cross still lowered his head, and the master still lovingly touched the feathers on Cross's neck. Then Cross spread his wings and flew high.
"Let's go."
The master put away her rare expression of tenderness and walked ahead without looking back.
Suddenly I felt a bit unpleasant that my status in my master's heart was still lower than an animal. At the same time, I also began to wonder about the past of the master and Cross. If there is no contract like the one imposed on me, then the relationship between Cross and the master should be equal. So are Cross and the master friends?
However, the master will not say to me, after all, I have asked in my heart.
Walking into the mountain, about five minutes, there was a small group of demon soldiers running out of the woods.
"Lord Demon, Lord Ilotia."
They bowed down on one knee towards the master and me.
"Well, get up."
After the soldiers thanked and stood up, the one standing at the front advanced a step.
"Please let us lead the way for Lord Demon King."
The master nodded then followed the soldiers.
It was a beautiful day. Even if it was already afternoon, the shade of the forest could not stop the fierce daylight, and the heat was spreading.
I've only had a few rainy days in this world. Even if it rained, I still had to go out and train.
Just thinking about it, I don't know if I should be moved or complain that my master was too strict, despite of rain or sun, she came out to train with me.
But the master is also really powerful, because she could put up with my nonsense in my heart every day, at the same time, she will not be affected by me, her expression as usual.
--------
When we arrived at the main camp, the soldiers led the master into a tent which was larger than all the surrounding tents. Although some of the people inside the tent were familiar to me, I didn’t know anyone except Solz because those days I did not go with the master to discuss about tactics. After all, I didn’t understand these tactics at all. Even if I went there, it would be a waste of time, so I did what I was interested in.
"Lord Demon King, I order someone to prepare a rest room for you."
The master nodded then those soldiers left.
This large tent is actually a conference room which the arrangement is similar to the conference room I had seen before.
I was tired of seeing the complicated rituals, but I never had to ask the subordinates to stand up together.
"How's it going?"
After everyone had come bach to their seat, the master asked the question directly
"The humans have added reinforcements over the past week or so, so it will be more difficult to attack."
The small dark-haired officer standing at the long table reported to his master.
The master nodded and his gaze turned to Solz, "Solz, what is the situation with Nora and Vinales?"
"The messenger sent word that they are on their way."
Then they gathered again to analyze the battle situation. With my understanding, what I probably understand was as follows.
The city of Lahs is actually at the border between the human Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom. And there is a river called Earl next to the city of Lahs. And that section of the river area has been controlled by humans because the city of Lahs was occupied by humans. Therefore, humans can always provide supplies and reinforcements to the city of Lahs through the waterway.
If the troops are scattered to surround the city, it is likely that the humans will seize the opportunity to raid from different directions and then attack each other.
Yesterday the troop of the Demons launched a siege battle but was defeated by humans, so now the troop is waiting for Nora and Vinales to provide reinforcements.
After the discussion, Solz swept a few eyes towards me, and then looked at the master. Solz wanted to ask questions, but seemed to consider for a long time.
"Lord Demon King, I have a matter to ask."
"Speak."
"Why don't we let Ilotia go into battle? If we had Ilotia, there would be no need for Nora and Vinales to bring reinforcements from Zdis. Do you think so?"
"Are you guys useless without Ilotia?"
The master reprimanded them with a cold expression.
"This ......"
Officers all showed their embarrassed look.
"We just want to minimize the number of casualties."
"These don't matter, after all, we don't lack soldiers."
The officers at the conference table all lowered their heads, which seemed that they didn't dare to refute their master.
"Remember, Ilotia is just our help towards victory, not the key. It’s not that we can't win without Ilotia. We can't rely too much on Ilotia. We can’t make our killer in the first battle. And this city is still taken by humans. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Yes."
They replied in unison, but except for Solz, the faces of the others showed some shame.
"Alright, let's go over and rest."
"Demon Lord, goodbye."
