At that ti, this was undoubtedly a greater surprise for the demon race.
After all, the Son of destiny had not yet matured. He was just beginning to show his potential and could hardly be called a savior. anwhile, the Great Guardian was capable of rivaling Dian, being a pillar of strength among humans, and the pri enemy of the demons at that ti.
Every demon believed this was a hugely profitable strategy.
However, the final fact proved
"That battle of magic, I lost."
"I respect that Great Guardian; he truly is the top professor of the human magical academy, and he gave a lesson I still vividly rember."
Dian's gaze towards the distance retracted, and the Sorcery Demon shook his head at this mory from a thousand years ago.
Speaking of these "old friends" of humanity,
"Leo, aren't you the sa? Initially, you used treasures to lure the Chosen One. When he made a breakthrough after seizing the treasure, you led the long-ambushed demon army to surround the Chosen One's city. But in the end."
Following the Sorcery Demon's words, Leo also reminisced about that period from a thousand years ago.
It could be said, that was probably the closest they ever ca to killing the Chosen One.
The Chosen One couldn't resist the temptation and chose to break through using the treasure.
At that ti, he was completely unguarded. If the demon army could reach him, they would surely cause his downfall. Even if they couldn't kill him, the Chosen One being forcefully interrupted during his breakthrough would have been completely crippled, with no possibility of progressing further.
But,
"If I rember correctly, the human female commander accompanying the Chosen One at that ti, with rely fifty thousand soldiers, held off our two hundred thousand demon siege for three days and nights.
Even in the end, when there was only one soldier left, the female commander did not choose to flee but used herself as a shield to buy the Chosen One half a day."
The history beyond that, the Sorcery Demon did not continue.
After successfully breaking through, the Chosen One alone pushed back, no, rather chased down their three hundred thousand demon army for five days and nights, almost reaching their main camp. Only after slaying the Wisdom Demon who was the commander at that ti did he finally retreat.
It was after that battle, having lost the Wisdom Demon, that humanity officially sounded the counterattack. Under the leadership of the Chosen One who had already revealed his sharpness, they gradually drove the demon race towards defeat.
"Mr. Leo specifically chose this ti to co, it must not just be to reminisce with , right?"
The Sorcery Demon, who had long lived in seclusion to deeply study magic,
Compared to most of the demon race, Dian was actually more like a scholar.
Thus, he quickly sensed the intention behind the Wisdom Demon's visit at this departing mont.
Seeing this, Leo stopped beating around the bush.
The Wisdom Demon straightforwardly said, "Yes, I hope that for our descent a thousand years later, you, , and the other apostles, can all be in our true forms."
True forms
In their projected states, the apostles could only exert 70% of their strength.
After a projection is destroyed, although the true form would also be severely damaged, it could recover with ti and rest.
And if they were to descend in their true forms, they could indeed exert all their power, but the price is just like the previous generation's Succubus Apostle: once killed, it truly ans death.
Exchanging a re thirty percent increase in power for the huge risk of death,
"Leo, it seems you really do like our new king" Dian couldn't help but sigh.
And the Wisdom Demon did not deny it.
Leo's snake-like eyes remained calm, stating the facts: "Do you rember which king was the last to actively call for a Demon King conference?"
The Sorcery Demon knew the answer.
Part of his job was to record history.
Although it's called a Demon King conference, in reality, all were initiated and led by the Wisdom Demon. The king was only there to nod in agreent symbolically.
The demon race's strong military force never needed such conferences. The king would descend with a large army, sweeping away everything with overwhelming force, which is almost the portrayal of all the worlds previously conquered by the demon race.
Take the most recent examples:
In the year 176 of the Demon Lord calendar, the Infernal Legion descended on the insect world, taking 19 years from invasion to complete conquest.
In the year 896 of the Demon Lord calendar, the Black Beast Legion descended on the elf world, taking 31 years from invasion to complete conquest.
In the year 24 of the Demon Lord calendar, the Evil Spirit Legion descended on the dragon world, taking 57 years from invasion to complete conquest.
In the year 318 of the Demon Lord calendar, the Shadow Legion descended on the orc world, taking 8 years from invasion to complete conquest.
The Demon Lord calendar resets every thousand years, and with each new Demon King, the nas of the demon legions also change.
It's not hard to see, even the powerful dragon race could only hold out for 57 years against the demon legion.
So, it's no wonder that the kings of the past all perfunctorily dealt with conferences.
Dian could very well understand why the Wisdom Demon liked their new king so much this ti.
After all, this new king was the first in history to actively call for a Demon King conference so quickly, and even at the conference, it was the king who led, while the Wisdom Demon beca the one to translate the king's thoughts and strategies into actions.
Although Reji was a transmigrated Demon King, those human thoughts and habits deep inside him were hard to change. For instance, in Reji's view, it was very normal to convene a eting with subordinates before undertaking significant actions.
But not in the eyes of the demon race.
This is also why Dian gave Reji the "like a human" evaluation earlier.
"So, Mr. Leo, did Eileen send you to persuade ?" The Sorcery Demon didn't directly agree or refuse; he remained as ever, gentle in deanor.
Sensing the movent coming from the Shadow Demon's cavern, the sensitive Sorcery Demon had already noticed, guessing why Eileen went to find the Shadow Demon, hence his question to the Wisdom Demon.
However, what he received was Leo shaking his head.
"No, this is my own decision."
"Let's leave it at that. I still need to do so preparations for my king's descent, to ensure his majesty's safety."
"As for you Dian, you don't need to reply to now. There's still so ti before we traverse. You... think it over."
After saying this, the Wisdom Demon turned and left.
