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 close to 8,000 people. I didn't expect His Majesty the King to be so supportive..."

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

"It's useless to look at it now. I estimate that only about 3,000 people can be left in the end... optimistic estimate."

Duanmu Huai is not as optimistic as the old general.

"Also, don't call it the Brave Army anymore. It's better to change the name."

"Why?"

"Because if we call it the Brave Army, don't we have to act like the heroes people imagine? Otherwise, they will say, 'The heroes I imagined are not like this' or 'You don't deserve to be called a hero'... I don't want to waste time and argue about these boring things. Besides, I don't want to restrict my actions for such an ugly name."

"Then...what name do you plan to give it?"

"Hmm..."

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

"Let's call it the Krieg Death Army."

"This name is a bit...Okay, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, let's do whatever you say."

Because Duanmu Huai didn't like others calling him a hero, everyone called him the Inquisitor as a second choice, which was also the name Duanmu Huai was more accustomed to.

"But, sir, what's the matter with you saying that it will be reduced to 3,000 people?"

"It's very simple. What I need is a cold-blooded killer. No matter 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 with passion and the feeling of saving something, then they will definitely withdraw."

"That's right... But sir, do you really want to do this?"

"You also know that this is the best way, but you 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, since the organization of the army has come to an end, then it's time to give them a little shock of the Tribunal... Let them enter the next trial."

"The next trial?"

"Yes, they must learn to adapt to the combat style of the Tribunal... Well... "

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 Wing Clan is a subhuman race that is loyal to the Demon King. Using it as a target can show the determination of our Tribunal, hone the will of the soldiers, and let the world clearly witness the style of the Tribunal. I think it's a good idea to kill three birds with one stone."

Duanmu Huai didn't choose White Wing City casually. He made the decision after understanding the intelligence of this world.

The White Wing Clan is a subhuman race. Their appearance is no different from that of humans, except that they have a pair of white wings, just like angels. However, there is no such thing as angels in this world, so they are called the White Wing Clan.

Well, it's a good thing that they are not called angels, because this group of people has never done anything human.

In the first war between the Demon King's army and humans, the White Wing Clan was enslaved by the Demon Clan as a subhuman race. Later, the brave defeated the Demon King and rescued the White Wing Clan 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. Because the White Wings can fly and have good eyesight, they are very suitable for 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.

That is, after that, humans would no longer trust any sub-human races and classify them all as potential enemies.

After the failure of the second war, the White Wings also 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 practice God's will. So it was not their fault to betray humans, but 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 territory of the demons. If the Summoning Kingdom sends troops, it is equivalent to going deep into the tiger's den... And fighting with the demons in the demons' territory is not a good choice.

However, Duanmu Huai doesn't care about this. He wants to kill this chicken well and let those monkeys know how powerful the Tribunal is.

As for the demons?

Kill as many as you come!

If you don't come, I will do the same when I go!

"So, how to attack White Wing City? This city is located deep in the forest, and the White Wings will patrol everywhere on weekdays. They have a good field of 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 not problems."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"We don't need any strategy, just go straight in, but I do have a small request."

"What is it?"

"Find me a group 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 to shoot arrows to the sky where the White Wings are."

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

Duanmu Huai obviously didn't intend to explain this problem.

"Leave the rest to me."

White Wing City.

This is a city deep in the forest, located on a high mountain cliff, from which 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 is surrounded by towering cliffs, and there is no way in or out. Unless it is the flying demons and the White Wings, it is impossible to enter this city from the ground. On the other hand, even if humans can use the magic of flying, the vision and archery of the White Wings are not useless.

So they can be here leisurely, watching the mortals struggling to survive in the mortal world below.

Of course, the White Wings are not without weaknesses. That is, at night, their vision will drop significantly. Although it is still better than that of humans, they can't clearly lock the enemies on the ground at high altitudes like during the day. But even so, the White Wings don't worry too much.

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 Wings.

It is precisely because of this that they are so surprised when they see this weird thing in front of them that is completely contrary to common sense.

"What is that?"

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

"Is it a new weapon of the Demon King's Army?"

It is no wonder that the White Wings have such a judgment. After all, the huge metal monster in front of them looks hideous, and the face is a huge skull. No matter how you look at it, it looks like something that only the demons will use.

"But that is the direction of the human kingdom, right? Did the Demon King's Army attack humans? But there is no sign of being attacked at all?"

Another White Wing stretched out his hand to his forehead and looked into the distance, and then...

"Swoosh!"

With a slight sound, the White Wing 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's head and upper body were also smashed to pieces.

"Huh...Huh..."

Lillian took a deep breath, held 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 enemy, and then...

Lillian pulled the trigger again.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Accompanied by huge recoil, the anti-aircraft machine gun spewed out countless bullets, turning into a rainstorm and covering the White Wings in front of them.

At the same time, the steel Titan giant quickened its pace, rushed out a road in the forest, and rushed to the White Wing City not far away.

The battle began.
