Chapter 40: Summon and Attack

It was a new day.

After eating his breakfast, Joey strolled to the special recruitment building in the territory, the demon blood pool.

There were at least two demon soldiers guarding this place. Although the loyalty of the residents in the territory was not low, they still needed to be prepared. Joey set this place as a level 1 forbidden area and forbade the residents from visiting.

The Demon Blood Pool had just been upgraded to level 3 yesterday. The summoned demon soldiers were still ordinary, and there was no special recruitment.

The pool table with a dark metallic texture was slightly higher than the ground. It could be used as a place to rest. A curved metal wall with complicated patterns was erected on the front. The image of the demon lord was also changing according to Joey’s own appearance.

.

The dark red blood pool was very calm. Walking forward, Joey’s face could still be reflected on it.

“Ten demons can be summoned today!”

“I hope I can summon a demon with a special talent!”

After nine consecutive summons, all of them were ordinary red-eyed demon soldiers at initial level four.

“The steady benefits of leveling up are still the initial level and the number of summons. I can’t feel anything about increasing the rare drop rate at all!”

Joey sensed the energy of the blood pool. It seemed that it would take a long time to accumulate a special summon and directly summon a high-level demon.

“Last draw!”

[ Start summoning demon ]

A red light enveloped the blood pool, like boiling blood bubbles protruding from the surface of the water. One by one, they exploded, and their auras were extraordinary.

Amidst the whistling wind, Joey widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.

“Finally, it’s about to appear! The Little Smart that I summoned before is a rare demon, and Liang is an outstanding demon. This time, the movement in the pool is at least on the same level as Liang!”

“Come out, my new warrior!”

The surging blood rose into the air, and a figure appeared in the middle of the blood pool, countless drops of blood splattering under his body.

Although the levels and ranks of the demon soldiers present were not as high as the newly appeared demon, they were all loyal to the future demon god Joey. Without Joey clearly assigning a commander.., they would definitely not waver in the slightest.

The demon in the blood pool looked like a young human, without any special features. However, its eyes were bright red, and it had long black hair. The red liquid on its body made its skin look very pale, and it was impossible to tell its gender. However.., if it did not have a gender, it could be said that it was a very legendary existence.

[ Special demon summoned successfully! ]

[ World Shredder Fragment ]

[ Level: 7]

[ A soul fragment from the great demons of the world. It sensed the heretic aura of this world and descended. ]

[ Epic-level unit ]

[ Has a chance to evolve into a complete World Shredder ]

[ Ability: the more you fight, the braver you become. Passive talent. Continuous battle and destruction can continuously increase your attack power ]

“Since you’re a world shredder, then I’ll call you Pinky!”

Joey gave this demon a name on the spot.

The demon did not have any expression or reaction. It only mechanically greeted Joey.

“You’ve reached level 7 from the start. Not bad. Work hard and level up to level 9!”

Joey led the ten newly summoned demons out of the blood pool area and appointed little pink as the captain of this small hunting party. They began their leveling career.

At this time, the news about the rat people was also transmitted over by Liang.

“Thousands of rats are sweeping towards the core of the forest, and we are in the direction of where they’re headed?”

Joey decided to take the initiative to attack.

“Even a level 9 behemoth boss has survived, let alone a mere rat vanguard!”

“We should take advantage of the moment when the rat vanguard and the main force are separated, and quickly destroy them one by one!”

The territory already had enough knowledge about rat-men. Slave rats were not worth mentioning, and the only ones that needed attention were the 1,000 warriors.

These 1,000 soldiers could not coordinate their attacks perfectly either. The core was to eliminate the level 8 general and the Great Engineer in the Rat Vanguard!

They definitely could not let them return to the main force. Their familiarity with the terrain became a big advantage in victory.

“These rat people are the source of my faith in becoming a god!”

The main battle plan was actually a sneak attack and decapitation operation. However, it was easier said than done.

The advance of the rat-man vanguard was very smooth.

In the beginning, the rat army was completely sweeping through the forest like a plow. The lush forest was gnawed into a mess of mud, and even the roots were eaten.

The closer they got to the inner part of the forest, the more confident the rat-man general became. He gave an order that everything here belonged to the leader. Any rat-man could not destroy the ecological environment at will. Soldiers could eat slave rats as they pleased, however, they could not harm the lives of the forest. Otherwise, they would also be sentenced to be slave rats. As for slave rats, if they committed a crime, of course, they would be directly executed.

In less than two days, the number of slave rats had dropped to more than 1,500, almost equal to the number of rat-man soldiers.

The rat in a long robe walked into the general’s mobile tent and stated his opinion.

“Sir General, the number of slave rats has declined a little too quickly. I think we should release the restriction properly! In any case, the forest here is full of trees and grass!”

The general was very unhappy. “Slave rats are nothing. We can replace them as we wish, but the forest and grass need years to grow! As an intellectual, don’t you know how to protect the environment?”

“Since when did the general start to believe in protecting the environment, a belief usually only held by elves?”

The long-robed rat was an engineer who followed the army. He was in charge of the ballista force and was directly under the command of the leader of the expedition force. Therefore, he thought that he was on the same level as the rat general.

“Protecting the environment is very important, and protecting the property of the Lords is even more important!”

The general added, “The forest is valuable property, while slave rats are low-level consumables that consume precious food. How can you not know the importance of this?”

At this time, the long-robed rat man also came to a realization and admitted his mistake.

“Look at all of you, engineers. You can’t even differentiate between the values of different things!”

Under the general’s disdainful gaze, the long-robed rat hid his disdain and anger and took his leave in embarrassment.

“What a fool, what’s the use of the forest! The rat-men have always wanted to sweep the world! How can they hang themselves on a tree! Slave rats are also important resources, but you fat pigs just don’t know how to use them!”

The long-robed rat secretly cursed the general’s incompetence and ignorance, but he also missed the hero in his heart.

That’s right, he was also a spy among the rat people, coming from a farther place.

The long-robed rat grumbled, but before he walked back to his tent, he smelled a burning smell.

“Who is so careless! What if there’s a big fire? If it’s the Fat Rat’s people, I must report it and see what he does!”

But soon he turned from doubt to fear.

There really was a big fire going up in the forest.
