The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

Delta had already imagined that scene, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

This is definitely a strange thing, isn't it?

However, it must be admitted that serving Lord Demon Shadow every day is indeed quite tempting.

"I... need to think about it..."

Kappa nodded, smiled charmingly, and waved: "Think it over carefully, Gana~ (Goodbye)"

Delta was left alone, lost in thought.

Kappa didn't expect Delta to agree immediately. She knew that this blonde, mature vampire wasn't that open-minded yet; she was just mentioning it to get some groundwork done.

The main problem is that Lord Shadow doesn't want to play multiplayer games; otherwise, it wouldn't be so complicated.

If Lord Shadow has such a wish, the others will not even hesitate, they would never go against Lord Shadow's wishes.

The problem is that Gray didn't mean it that way, and was even resistant, so Capa had to work on other people.

If the sisters all ask Lord Shadow for permission together, he would accept it even if he was unwilling, right?

Capa is no longer content with simply building a harem; he is now striving to have everyone sleep together.

I look forward to the day when I can "question Capa, understand Capa, become Capa, and surpass Capa"!

Until then, let's just be patient for a bit.

……

The next day, after making preparations, the group decided to split up and stagger their routes and times of arrival at Westperwin Territory.

The cultists driven by greed and avarice have prepared for war in Westperwin Territory and are certainly keeping an eye on those who have recently entered and left the territory.

The number of attendants involved in the operation was close to half of the Shadow Court's total, totaling 291 people including Gray and the Ten Shadow Attendants.

There are almost three hundred people; of course, they can't all enter Westperwin territory at the same time.

Are you trying to make sure all these cult members don't know you're here?

Therefore, they chose to split up, disguise themselves and enter Westperwin territory, and finally reunite within Westperwin territory.

When it comes to disguising one's identity, the identities of caravan members and adventurers are indeed more effective.

More than thirty groups of people were assigned to enter Westperwin territory via different routes and at different times.

Gray and the Ten Shadow Attendants were among the first to arrive in Westperwin Territory. As high-ranking members of the Shadow Court, they needed to first meet with the local attendants at the Gran Merchant Guild branch in Westperwin Territory to learn more and decide on the battle strategy.

In the conference room, Alpha was the first to learn the general information about the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild, and now it is being made public during the meeting.

"The commercial street of the Golden Weasel Chamber of Commerce has been closed, and it is said that the entire street is under maintenance."

"According to the investigation, there were no signs of maintenance in the commercial street, and the cultists had hired a large number of mercenaries to guard it," Alpha announced.

"They're trying to draw attention and prolong their battle lines, intending to fight us in urban warfare," Gray analyzed. "It seems they also want to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention."

That's true. Cult members don't act too openly, otherwise they'll get into trouble.

They were making as much noise as possible within the normal scope of the Chamber of Commerce. Others might not see anything, but for the Shadow Court, it was already a big commotion.

This suited their wishes as well; Gray didn't want to be too conspicuous or known to everyone, and the Shadow Court didn't need to appear in the open.

Now, they are discussing strategy in the meeting.

Alpha added, "The cultists have hired a considerable number of mercenaries to guard the area. We need to break through their defenses before we can enter the center and fight the cultists."

The faction driven by greed and avarice, which controls the world's largest business association, has no shortage of money.

It's normal to spend a lot of money to hire mercenaries for this battle, and it's estimated that a lot of money was also spent on equipping them.

“The equipment will definitely be top-notch, but we also need to be careful of disposable items like potions and magic scrolls,” Gamma said.

Gamma, one of the Ten Kage, is not a combatant, but she still came to join in the fun.

While they claimed to be just joining in the fun, this operation was not unrelated to Gamma. They were now tasked with eradicating the cultists driven by greed and avarice, and also with crushing the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild.

The Golden Weasel Merchant Guild is a senior member and the biggest competitor of the Grand Merchant Guild. Once the cultists who secretly maintain the operation of the guild are eliminated, the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild will be nothing but an empty shell.

Although it can continue to operate for a while, the empty shell of the Golden Weasel Merchant Guild will no longer pose a threat and will be crushed by the Grand Merchant Guild sooner or later. At that time, the Grand Merchant Guild will rise to become the largest merchant guild in the Olmec Kingdom, control the commercial lifeline of the Olmec Kingdom, and provide more convenience for the future activities of the Shadow Court.

Potions are the creations of alchemists. There are many types of potions, such as those that restore mana and temporarily increase attribute affinity (reducing the cost and increasing the power of specific attribute magic, etc.).

Magic scrolls are the creations of magicians. By using magic to inscribe spells on special parchment, magic can be stored inside the parchment to create magic scrolls. Depending on the type of magic stored inside the parchment, magic scrolls have different methods of use.

Offensive magic scrolls can be used as grenades in modern warfare, and there is a wider variety of types available to suit various situations.

Among magicians, there are those who are good at making magic scrolls and those who are not, and these two types of magicians will have different career paths.

In a war, soldiers and professionals are important, but potions and magic scrolls can also turn the tide of battle.

The battle against cultists cannot compare to wars between nations, but it can still be considered a large-scale war.

Gamma added, "The Grand Merchant Guild can provide 500 potions and 100 magic scrolls, but that's all we can do. We can't bring any more in; their strategic resources are far greater than ours."

In terms of personnel and strategic resources alone, the cultists driven by greed and avarice far surpass them, but the Shadow Court has an even greater advantage.

White Scales and Gray.

The ten shadow servants faced the bishop, one of White Scale and Gray faced the archbishop, and the remaining person was free to clean up the small fry.

Potions and magic scrolls are powerful tools for ordinary soldiers and low-level professionals, but they are nothing in the face of high-level professionals.

The buffs provided by the potion are simply insufficient against high-level professionals, and the parchment cannot withstand high-level magic.

The current limit of magic scrolls is eighth-tier magic, which is equivalent to a normal attack from an eighth-tier class.

“There’s one more thing I must mention.” Alpha looked at Gray: “What should we do with those mercenaries?”

Gray understood Alpha's meaning and replied, "Don't worry about it. Mercenaries live a life of danger and are generally less ethical than adventurers. They are not innocent, so there's no need to hesitate. Just kill them."

The strategic meeting lasted for more than an hour. The strategy has been determined. Once all the servants have arrived and we have rested and recharged, it will be time to start the war!
