Chapter 55: Only Evil Can Fight Evil
Chapter 55: Only Evil Can Fight Evil
Owen intends to give this series of viper equipment to Maya to enhance her strength, as for the problem of demonic contamination caused by ordinary people using the Demon King’s armament, Maya herself has fused with the Snake-haired Banshee who is a high-level demonic creature, so how could she possibly care about this point of demonic contamination.
However, when he thought of this, Owen suddenly realized that he had previously overlooked a problem, or safety hazard.
The first Northland Pioneering Corps was made up of a bunch of garbage, although a few grains of sands were finally plucked out, it still couldn’t change the nature of the garbage, which meant that the quality was too poor to be of any threat.
In fact, if not for the several strikes of the Imperial Border Army, killing a large number of Northland barbarians and forcing the other side to move north, there is no Northland Pioneering Corps what happened next.
I really think that the Northland barbarians are vegetarians, even if the weapons and equipment do not occupy any advantage, just rely on the fists will be able to blow up a bunch of garbage composed of the Northland pioneering regiment.
Of course, for this reason, the Northland pioneering regiment was also used as a bait by the imperial frontier army, otherwise the barbarian tribes scattered in the form of tribes in the vast Northland will not easily gather together, not to mention the imperial frontier army took the opportunity to hit a surprise.
Although this led to the heavy losses of the Northland Exploitation Corps, it was because of these several victories that the Northland barbarians were forced to choose to retreat further north, allowing the Northland Exploitation Corps to gain a foothold in the Northland, so it is difficult to say who utilized who.
Without mentioning the old events of the past, the dilemma that the second Northland Pioneering Corps had to face was obviously much smaller than the first, and in its place was the fight for future benefits.
Anyone with eyes can see that the next few decades will be a period of rapid development for the Northland border, and if all goes well, becoming a new province of the empire will not be a problem, and the benefits contained herein are staggeringly large.
But the cycle is too long, at least three or four generations before there is hope, so the great nobles of the empire are not in a hurry to intervene at all.
But this is a rare opportunity for others, because when it comes to development, there will be nothing for them, so in addition to small and medium-sized noble forces, it is likely to attract adventurers and hidden dark forces in the empire.
Adventurers are a group of people who are not willing to be ordinary, they wander around to seek power, wealth and glory, as small as the village bullying Slime, to crusade against the evil dragon to save the princess, there is no mission that they do not do.
According to Maya, most of the adventurers are weaklings who like to brag, but there is no shortage of professionals who have mastered extraordinary abilities, and their strength cannot be ignored.
In addition, although the adventurers would help solve many problems in the local area, they would also create a lot of trouble, and the most important thing was that they were always restless.
Restless to what extent, wherever they go, they want to lift the ground to see if there are any relics underneath, picking up a vase, they all think that there is a demon sealed inside, and they all think that they are the cadres of the hidden demon king army.
This has caused a lot of trouble to the local residents and lords, so the adventurers are not very popular, at least not when there is nothing to do.
As for the dark forces, it was too normal to have them in this world.
Followers of the Evil God of Chaos, vicious and wanted criminals, assassins with bloody hands, infamous black wizards, and notorious demonic warlocks, compared to the obnoxious adventurers, these were the truly dangerous elements.
Originally, the Northland was barren and worthless, even the dark forces would not set their eyes on this poor countryside.
However, the Empire’s move to form the Second Northland Exploitation Corps would likely attract these unstable factors and dangerous elements over, which was definitely a bad thing.
The adventurers were fine, and it was expected that not too many of them would come, but the dark forces would be in trouble. The army was only a threat to them, but it was difficult to truly eliminate them, because they had strange movements, were not weak, were ruthless, and were especially good at creating chaos and death, once the other side was annoyed, it was difficult to estimate how much damage they could cause.
In addition, the dark forces are not like the adventurers which are full of fear to the lord, in fact, they fall to the end of everyone shouting, many times because they have no fear of the nobles.
Thinking of the crises that need to be faced in the near future, strengthening the self-protection ability of oneself and one’s subordinates, and strengthening the precautionary measures of the territory, these alone are not enough, Owen decisively believes that only the evil can fight against the evil, and only the darkness can devour the darkness.
And who is he, he is Hydra III, the future Demon King, not only owns a dungeon (unbuilt), but also has a large group of demons under his command, killing without blinking an eye, eating people without salt, who can be more like a dark force than him!
Even if he agrees, Hydra doesn’t!
Hail Hydra!
Let the name of Hydra resonate throughout the Dark World!
After a bit of middle school, Owen continued to busy himself with the matter at hand, after all, regardless of his physical or mental age, he had long since graduated from middle school.
After the Demon Goat and the Viper, Owen set his eyes on the Slime, and immediately felt a bit of a headache, because the Slime didn’t blend well with all the Guts equipment, after all, the Slime’s characteristic was a pectin-like body, and this characteristic was a disaster for weapons and armor.
Owen tried to fuse Slimes with staffs and talismans to get an Acid Staff and an Acid Talisman, but the effect was better than nothing, so it’s better to save it for synthesizing Slime maids to work in the castle.
Now only Goblins were left out of the four major magical creatures, but whether it was synthesizing the green Goblin equipment line or the obscene version of the Goblin Maid, Owen couldn’t convince himself to accept it.
Even if the kobold maid might become beautiful, but thinking about the original form, and that hawkish nose and mouth full of fangs, all the distractions were gone, the kobolds should continue to go to the Magic Horn Forest to work as a fighter.
The same is a magic creature, just because of the difference in face value, is completely two treatments, which can see the importance of face value, said it is not too much to say that the fate of the decision.
The synthesis of the primary Demon King’s Armament is almost complete, although there are more combinations, there is no need to continue, Owen needs to accumulate more progress value to try a more advanced synthesis.
The intermediate Demon King Armament required two pieces of Brave Equipment to be synthesized before it could be used as the main material, and it also required an advanced demonic creature, the consumption was instantly doubled.
Out of practicality, Owen chose the most cost-effective Brave Armor with the Demon Goat Advancement Demon Goatman as the fusion material.
The strengthened version of the Brave Armor needs no introduction, mainly looking at the Demon Sheep’s Advancement, with the bipedal walking half-sheepman.
Demon goat man half man half goat, has the head of a goat, human upper body, and anti-jointed goat lower body, as in the mythological story of the cunning demon.
But the Demon Goatman was not as powerful as a demon, although its strength and agility exceeded that of a normal human, it relied more on instinct to fight, like a boxer sprinting to the enemy for a crazy beating, so it was worth at most three progress values in Owen’s evaluation.
However, the Demon Goatman was just a lead-in for the demonic armor, and the fighting style didn’t matter.
