Chapter 49: The Devil's Move (1)
In a mountainous region of Germany, an ancient ruin had been temporarily chosen as a base by demons who had come from afar. However, instead of being inhabited by various demons, the place was filled with tall and sturdy human men and numerous black-robed Deep Abyss Mages.
After the last time the Fire Demon warriors raided the US military patrol team, they lost some warriors for the first time. Since then, the devil's army has not taken the initiative to attack again. Under the command of the Great Devil Sado, they all waited honestly in the underground ruins, waiting for another batch of reinforcements from the Deep Abyss Warriors.
A few days later, under the leadership of two other senior demons, hundreds of elite Deep Warriors and mages belonging to Sado's First Legion began to arrive in the underground ruins through the ancient altar's deep transmission portal.
According to the meticulous plan previously set by Trem, all the Deep Warriors in this ruin are now under the bizarre magic of the Deep Mages and have begun a large-scale disguise operation. After a day and night of uninterrupted casting, these originally robust Deep Warriors have transformed into ordinary-looking people, completely able to blend into crowds without being detected.
Looking at the thousands of humans transformed from the abyssal warriors on the square below the altar, Sadro, disguised as a blond handsome devil, turned to his side and asked Trem, who had transformed into an old human, "Master Trem, all our warriors have completed their disguises and are ready to act at any time."
The elderly-looking Trem spoke to Sado in his cold voice, "Sado, from this moment on, you will address me as Dr. Trem. My new identity is a Ph.D. in psychology, and your new identity will be my nephew. The senior manager of an American listed company, Manager Sado, and next...!"
Master Trem's words were cut off by a sudden loud voice. "Master Trem, brothers asked me to ask you, how did we become so weak and human-like? Our strong and beautiful bodies have become so small and thin, Master Trem, can you order the Deep Mages to make us strong like before?"
The giant over two meters tall who is now approaching Trem to make a request is Kam, the leader of the Salamander Warriors. He's currently in disguise and looks smaller than his true form.
Trem wrinkled his brow and said coldly to Kam, who had come before him with a request: "Kam, keep your subordinates in check. This time's mission cannot be messed up, or I will turn all of you into experimental materials. Your current disguises are already the tallest among humans on this plane, and there are no savages here that match your original bodies, so it is impossible to change your current body type!"
This group of Flame Lizard warriors, who were all over 2.6 meters tall, became humans around 2 meters tall after being transformed by the Deep Abyss Mage's spell. Although these big guys looked extremely tall and strong to humans, they were actually typical cases of malnutrition and poor development according to the standards of the Flame Lizard tribe. That's why Kamu made that request just now.
However, with Trem's cold warning, Kam immediately replied honestly: "Yes, yes, Master Trem, it's just that the brothers are not used to this weak state now. But we will absolutely not delay this mission."
After warning Kham, the restless guy, Trem turned to several nearby Deep Abyss Mages and commanded: "Alright, immediately gather all warriors who have used transformation techniques and bring them to the altar. I'll start arranging the next task now!"
As the amplification magic of several deep trench mages sounded, all the demon warriors and fire lizard warriors who had undergone transformation magic makeup quickly gathered together. Trem and Sado looked at the altar below, where the densely packed gathering of many warriors did not make any mixed noise, feeling very satisfied, these deep trench warriors from the First Legion still had the best discipline in the entire deep trench as before.
Master Trem looked down at the thousand Deep Abyss warriors, who now resembled humans, with his cold gaze. After a moment, he slowly spoke: "All Deep Abyss warriors, listen up! Now, I will brief you on this mission. I know some of you are not accustomed to your current form, but for the sake of our future plans, you must gradually adapt to this appearance. And as for this plan, no one is allowed to make even the slightest mistake. This concerns the entire army's conquest of this plane under Lord Trem's command."
"Now we will all start to divide into three teams, each going to one of the three major countries in this world. With the Abyssal Mages as the core, all Demon Warriors and Flame Lizards are responsible for protecting the safety of the mages. At the same time, after arriving at these main countries, the Abyssal Mages will immediately establish an Abyssal Portal at a secret location. The Wraiths are in charge of possessing high-ranking officials in those countries, while remembering not to expose their true identities as much as possible. If someone discovers their identity, kill them for me! No one can stop our conquest of this plane. Alright, now Sadou will be responsible for assigning you!"
After finishing the task, Trem turned around and walked towards the altar. Sado looked at the group of large men with human appearance below, and couldn't help but admire the transformation techniques of these Deep Sea Mages. Although these were just simple changes to the caster's appearance, and there was still a very obvious magical fluctuation on the surface, using a detection spell or dispel magic could completely destroy the magical disguise on these warriors. However, this world happened to have no existence of mages or priests, so there was no risk of exposure.
Sa Do slowly began to speak after carefully scanning the elite warriors of the First Legion below: "Risuka, you are in charge of bringing 50 Deep Abyss Mages and 100 Wraiths, as well as 300 soldiers. Tomorrow night, head towards the northern country called Russia. Gather all information about that country and establish a Deep Abyss Transmission Gate as soon as possible, based on the environment there. Summon warriors you think are suitable to reinforce your strength. Remember, the country you are going to is the largest in terms of land area on this plane, but it has a relatively small population and an extremely cold climate. Many places are desolate and uninhabited, so try to establish as many Deep Abyss Transmission Gates as possible."
The white male demon, who now looked robust under the magical disguise, replied firmly: "Yes sir, after Sadou-sama arrives there, whether we infiltrate and destroy the area according to the situation."
Sa Do nodded solemnly at the proposal of this department: "Okay, no matter what method you use, where you are, or what you do, as long as you can weaken the strength of that country and make those areas unstable, without exposing our plan, everything is up to you!"
This senior demon immediately showed a knowing smile, indicating that Lord Sado and Master Trem would only ask for results, not the process. That way, he could carry out this action according to his personal expertise.
"Ada, the country you are going to this time is the most populous and ancient nation in this world. From what we have learned, this ancient country has many mysterious legends about this world. After you arrive there, not only do you need to infiltrate the country and establish a deep transmission gate, but also explore the various legendary places within that country. It's likely that place is as suitable for establishing a transmission gate as this ruin we are in now. This time, I'm assigning 50 Deep Abyss Mages, 200 Wraiths, and 500 Warriors to you. As before, all actions there will be decided by yourself according to the situation."
"This beautiful deviless, transformed by magic into a thousand enticements, smiled strongly and said: 'Aida will definitely complete the task you have arranged, Lord Sado, please be at ease.'"
Seeing the two subordinates full of confidence, Sado, as the commander of the vanguard of this large army, was very satisfied. He had absolute confidence in his subordinates' abilities. The military strength of the corps he commanded was not comparable to that of Kado's Deep Sea Knights Corps.
It is not the largest in number, but among the tens of thousands of demons under Trem's command, it is called the First Legion. This is because the legion consists of thoughtful subordinates, rather than just relying on brute force like other rough men.
Finally, Sado spoke up again: "As for the last country, which is also the first power of this plane, I will go with Master Trem personally. The other warriors who stayed behind and the Deep Abyss Mages will continue to summon the follow-up troops of the First Legion here, while remembering to closely observe the space crack in the mountains at all times, if anyone approaches, eliminate them for me."
At the same time, all of you must be careful, as some strange creatures from outside have appeared in this dimension. They are highly aggressive and good at parasitizing.
You must be careful to eliminate them as soon as you see them! As long as the warriors and mages who come to this plane reach a certain number, they will infiltrate other countries around this altar in all directions, while establishing a deep transmission gate. Rieska, Aida, it's the same with you, as long as the subsequent arriving legions reach a certain number, immediately spread to surrounding countries and regions! We want to use the fastest speed to fill the countries on this plane with deep transmission gates, in order to facilitate the attack actions of the large army later.
After Sado finished speaking, the Deep Sea Warriors of the First Legion immediately sprang into action. Everyone automatically followed the orders just given and quickly divided into three parts, waiting for the command to depart.
·········································
That night, the altar that was bustling with people during the day became very quiet, except for a few remaining Deep Abyss Mages and Warriors. It seemed that most of the others had already left.
At the same time, on the ground above the altar, three groups of people with different numbers were advancing in three different directions at an incredibly fast speed under the cover of night. Their goal was to head towards the cities that still had lights flashing in each direction.
The human world, starting from tonight, after a large number of parasitic beasts invaded the city, once again welcomed a batch of even more dangerous invaders.
