Chapter 49: Looking for lumberyard

Mind power, that is, the ability to intervene in the movement of the material system through thoughts. In theory, whether it is matter in the macro world or in the micro world, it can be interfered by the power of mind.
Although air is invisible, it is a substance that does exist. Although Roy has not yet reached the point where he can manipulate various molecules of air with mind power, he can use mind power to cover a region of air, and then Compress it, this is the principle of the air shield.
With such a buffer layer, there are many benefits to Roy in the melee. After all, he now focuses on close hand-to-hand combat. There are naturally more times to face the enemy. When the enemy's attack is buffered by 0.1 Seconds can give Roy more reaction time.
Killing the enemy, swept away the scattered souls nearby, Roy fought while paying attention to the situation on Selron's side.
Sure enough, Roy had guessed it. This time he personally ended up participating in the fight. Sellen was very excited. The demon's belligerence was shown vividly on him. The blood that was constantly splashing around made Selren a pair of demons. His eyes became scary and scary, and while he kept killing the enemy, he kept making a manic roar.
A soul floated out from the corpse of a Pegasus rider who was killed by him. Sellen opened his mouth and screamed, and then sucked the soul into his mouth. The Pegasus rider in the soul The horror of death turned into an incomparably beautiful taste lingering in Sellen's mouth, letting him breathe out comfortably, and then picked up the sickle in both hands to harvest the enemy's life again.
Yes, Sellen, as Roy guessed, was devouring the souls on the battlefield while killing the enemy. In fact, it was not only the loopholes in the demon contract that prompted Sellen to do so, but also another reason. , That is the high-level demons that Ignatis who stayed in Castlevania will summon.
If you want to kill the Golden Dragon Queen, Selron must have an army of high-level demons as help, but there is a price to summon high-level demons. Selron and the three of them must divide the souls they have obtained and give them some more. High-level demon, so the current situation is that Selron feels that his expected return has become less, so he tries his best to get it back on the battlefield.
In fact, Sellen is a little regretful now. When he regretted that he shouldn't contract with Roy, he promised to give him a 10% dividend. At that time, he thought that relying on a large number of low-level demons, he should be able to complete the task, so he felt It would be pretty good to give Roy this elite demon to him by giving a little dividend. How could I know that after Ignatis and the others came, they actually brought news of the existence of the Golden Dragon Queen.
In this way, compared to the other two high-ranking demons, Reska and Ignatis, Sellen would have to give out an extra share of soul gain, and he would certainly feel uncomfortable.
There is no doubt that he has to make up for the loss now, so naturally he has to make up for Roy's demon contract, so while he fights, he desperately devours his soul, and while the battle is not over, he can make one more.
However, what he didn't know was that Roy was not annoyed at seeing him devouring his soul while fighting, but he was a little pleased.
Eat, eat, I don’t believe you can remember how many souls you have swallowed when you are desperately trying to profit from it!
After all, the number of Pegasus knights is fixed. If they are completely wiped out, there should be as many souls as there are corpses. If only Roy is fishing for souls, Selron will be able to find out by counting them. , But now Sellen himself is also devouring it. When the battle is over, the number of corpses and the number of souls do not match, so he will not be able to detect it.
Now, Roy can take the soul with confidence. He specifically selects those places with more souls and ran over. While occasionally finding a Pegasus knight as his opponent, he still roared and roared in his mouth, seeming to fight hard. , But in fact it is to collect souls nearby.
After collecting more than forty souls one after another, the battle on the battlefield was nearing its end, and Roy stopped now.
This Pegasus knight army was almost completely slaughtered. Since they did not choose to escape, the demons would naturally not show mercy. More than two hundred Pegasus knights were finally buried here.
However, although they all died in the battle, they also caused considerable losses to Sellen’s demon army. The Pegasus knights are considered to be mid-level troops among the Elf tribe, and their lethality is still quite strong. In this attack, Sellin's demon force killed hundreds of little demons, and dozens of hellhounds were also killed.
But the biggest loss was the siege equipment. The ten catapults Sellen carried this time were actually destroyed by the Pegasus knights. Three crossbows were lost. After the battle, the Erlen looked at the scattered parts of these destroyed siege equipment, and his anger couldn't stop rising.
He knew that his march might be delayed...
When the little demons collected all the souls floating on the battlefield and dedicated them to Sellen, Sellen felt that there was less, but he did not care much. He did not count how many souls he had swallowed before. soul.
In addition, it is because he felt that no one would have the courage to steal and swallow the soul that belongs to his Selron...
As a high-ranking demon, Sellen was too confident. How would he know that not only did someone dare to steal his soul, but the souls stolen were not one or two, but more than forty!
There were more than two hundred Pegasus knights, and only one hundred and sixty souls fell into Sellen's hands. Sellen had to separate out about sixteen souls and award them to Roy. Go, there are more than fifty souls equivalent to Roy's last hand!
And this is just a small-scale battle. If the scale of the war is larger, Roy estimates that he can get more souls.
After receiving the sixteen souls that Selron handed over unwillingly, Roy pretended to greedily stuff them all into his mouth and swallow them, but in fact he used the system's storage function to store them first.
And after "eating", Roy still had a contented expression and said to Selren: "Thank you for your generosity, Selren! Your violence and bravery are a model for the demons!"
After being slapped by Roy, Sellen finally felt better. This kind of words would never appear in the mouths of other low-level demons, so he laughed and said: "Okay, now give You have seen a mission. These Avery elves’ reconnaissance units have destroyed our catapults. Now we have to repair them. Then I will take the troops to stop here temporarily. Bring a little manpower and look around to see if there is a lumber yard of the Elves, get some wood back, and repair these trebuchets!"
"Yes, Lord Sellen!" Roy lowered his head slightly, indicating that he took his orders. After facing Sellen back a little distance, he turned and left to gather the manpower.
Sellen is actually very impatient with the trivial things of repairing siege equipment. In the past, he could only do it by himself when he encountered such trivial matters. But now that there is such a clever demon as Roy, Sellen is naturally able to To be lazy is to be lazy.
Roy took the Fat Tiger, a dozen or so hellhounds and more than twenty little demons, and left the camp to look for the lumber yard.
Sellen was lazily letting him out. This was a good chance to escape, but Roy didn’t plan to do so. Now that the demons have invaded the border of the Kingdom of Elasia, the humans and their allies and elves have entered a state of war. What if one accidentally ran into the army when he escaped? A single demon will only have one end in front of a large number of enemies.
Moreover, in order to reversely activate the Summoning Array and go back, Roy must have a lot of magic power. His most important task now is to mix in the demon army first, and accumulate a sufficient number of souls to strengthen his magic power.
Although he does not intend to escape, it is also a very good opportunity for Roy to lead the team alone to find the logging ground.
A very good, cheating opportunity...
