The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

Soon, all the territories behind the Golden Harvest Plain were taken over by Linde. Linde even transferred Colin over there, specifically to lead a team to keep a close eye on these nobles.

Upon hearing the name of this god of war who had wiped out the entire Tongshan Territory, many nobles, even those with disloyal intentions, obediently went into hiding.

The railway was quickly resumed, but faster than the one Sean had overseen. The equipment along the way was basically functional, with no longer any consideration for long-term use. Charging stations were no longer needed; the railway was charged while it was being transported, with the battle taking precedence over everything else.

After quickly arranging everything, Linde led his army to the Golden Harvest Plain without stopping. Unfortunately, the railway had not yet been built there, so they had to travel the rest of the way on foot. Fortunately, the distance was not too far.

Meanwhile, in the Grey-White Collar army's defensive camp, Darcy was roaring, "Isn't it fixed yet?"

The soldier in charge of the magic cannon shouted, "We don't have a captain yet! If we force it to start, this cannon will probably be destroyed!"

At that moment, a muffled thud suddenly came from the barrel of the magic cannon in the adjacent artillery position, which had also exploded due to prolonged high-load operation.

Seeing this, Darcy shouted, "I don't care if this cannon is scrapped or not, at least fire it now!"

Upon hearing this, the artilleryman stroked the cannon with a touch of heartache, but still inserted the triangular prism-shaped charging bar. The magic cannon, which had only recently been rested, began to operate again, and fireballs once more hurt the battlefield not far away.

It has to be said that the quality of the products produced by the gray-collar military industry is quite outrageous. They have been operating under overload for so long, and only now have the phenomenon of cannons exploding has started to appear.

Almost everyone in the camp was wounded. Many people, after their adrenaline subsided from the battlefield, began to scream in pain and even cried uncontrollably.

The accompanying military doctors were already overwhelmed with work. Most of them, including the doctors, hadn't slept for days. Although there was still holy water, most of it was needed for defending the camp, and even the holy water for defending the camp was almost gone.

Even now, many soldiers are unwilling to leave the battlefield, because seeing those who have left might be more painful to live than to die.

Fortunately, after these days of fierce fighting, the number of those flesh-and-blood monsters on the other side has been greatly reduced, and the impact is now negligible compared to before.

The situation wasn't much better for the demons. Although Noam had anticipated that the humans would resist for so long, he still underestimated their will to resist. Almost all of the demon army he brought with him had been converted into the offspring of the demon god.

Even so, with the demon god's offspring nearly wiped out, they still failed to conquer the last human stronghold.

Noam was somewhat relieved that seeking help from the Demon King in advance was such a wise choice.

The good news is that Noam can also clearly feel that the enemy's reserves of the potion that can weaken the Demon God's offspring are running low. Previously, due to those potions, the Demon God's offspring showed obvious signs of losing control and disconnecting, but now, this phenomenon is gradually decreasing. The enemy will only use this potion to retaliate when they break through the enemy's defenses and get close to the enemy's camp.

It was also because Doug had sent almost everyone he could find in the territory to the battlefield in advance that the demon god's offspring had enough sacrifices to maintain and evolve. Even now, when the demon god's offspring are almost wiped out, there are still a large number of humans on the battlefield who are possessed by divine blood.

If it weren't for these humans possessed by divine blood, the so-called mud monsters, as an energy source, the remaining descendants of the demon god might not have survived until now.

How long until our reinforcements arrive?

Noam continued to speak one-on-one with the demon on his back.

At this moment, the demon on Noam's back was looking down at the entire battlefield with some fear. It had seen the surging waves of demon god offspring and sacrifices, and such a fierce offensive had actually been blocked by humans.

It was truly unbelievable to the devil.

After hearing Noam's question in his mind, the demon on his back said, "Governor Doug has opened a special passage to allow our compatriots to come quickly. We have already asked him to contribute all of his horses' transport capacity, and we believe they will arrive soon."

The demons were already closer to Doug's territory, so once Doug granted them access, they would be able to travel freely within Doug's territory.

Of course, in the current situation, Doug no longer has the final say on things like granting permissions.

At this moment, Doug was diligently leading the demon army with his servants.

Upon seeing the monster, Doug's first thought was to escape. So, taking advantage of the chaos, Doug disregarded everything and, with some of the center's servants, planned to pack up his valuables and flee.

Unfortunately, the demons had planned this all along, and they captured Doug and took him into custody.

Doug had also realized that the demons intended to keep him around so that they could control most of the northern region through him in the future.

In any case, having an agent makes it easier to negotiate with other humans, and Doug is somewhat relieved that he's not completely useless.

As for becoming a traitor? At first, Doug thought of using one wolf to devour another, but it was clear that he no longer had the strength to do so. In any case, he was now inextricably linked to the demons, so he might as well go all the way down the dark path. During the time he was under guard, Doug had already prepared himself to be a dog for the demons.

After all, judging from the terrifying monsters he saw on the battlefield, Doug didn't think any human army could stop them. Even the Gray Collars couldn't. He figured he might as well join the demons and get a better position.

However, as the war progressed, Doug never expected that he would be miraculously released ahead of schedule and asked to personally guide the demon reinforcements.

From the demon guards, Doug was surprised to learn that the Gray Collar's army had actually withstood the attack of those terrifying monsters.

Having realized that he only had one path to take, Doug immediately began to fawn over his enemies. He regrouped the army he could still control and notified the nobles who were unaware of what had happened or who had already received the news, declaring that they were now the people of the demon race and should guide their lord.

Not only that, Doug also found his two younger brothers who were also being controlled and began to mentally prepare them. After all, falling into the hands of his nephew-in-law meant certain death, but following the Demon Lord might turn them into some kind of founding hero.

Isn't this another way of rebuilding the Lars family's glory?
