"Lord Mohe."

Vampire Lisidorwei suddenly found Mohe one morning: "Are you not planning to rebuild your Demon King's army? Not to mention high-level demon race, at least prepare something like a Gargoyle Legion, right? I heard the Mage Association has already joined the expedition coalition."

"You're well-informed," Mohe did not comment further.

Gargoyles, as described in many stories, are creatures unresponsive to "magic power." They possess a certain anti-magic attribute, and the Gargoyle Legion is typically the demon race's close combat legion used to counter the Mage Legion.

After all, the demon race's long-range legion also has its Mage Legion, in general... to counter the Mage Legion, the best is the Gargoyle Legion.

"I have some connections."

Mohe certainly knew Lisidorwei had some connections. In fact, among humans, there were many who became Lisidorwei's subordinate blood relatives seeking eternal life. When Mohe regained his left hand, a batch was sacrificed, but they were nobles from Butuo City, and outside of that, some weren't summoned by Lisidorwei but were still under her control, serving as her subordinates.

This information was likely obtained from them.

Mohe, with a slight smile, said, "Why prepare the Gargoyle Legion? Waiting to be betrayed like before?"

When it comes to the Gargoyle Legion, Mohe had much to say. Vampires are beings capable of using magic. Since the creation of this race, Mohe endowed them with a powerful "Dark Attribute Magic" talent, and Lisidorwei could use virtually all types of magic, highlighting her nobility as the Vampire Queen.

Thus, Lisidorwei's legion is actually a long-range one. Naturally, vampires have strong close combat abilities, so the vampire legion was also a powerful force within the former Demon King's army.

Of course, the Gargoyle Legion, on one hand, can negate magic, on the other, with their tough bodies, and strong close combat abilities, they were also a powerful legion in the Demon King's army - past betrayal by Lisidorwei led to nearly the entire Gargoyle Legion being wiped out. In this era, finding even two Gargoyles is extremely difficult.

"To Lord Mohe, those things are merely consumables, right?"

Naturally, Lisidorwei could say this. As a creation of the Demon King, Lisidorwei and the Gargoyles have fundamental differences, at least in the effort invested. She did not grant Gargoyles intelligent wisdom, turning them into thorough tools.

Thus, for Lisidorwei, she inherently had a feeling of superiority over Gargoyles. Viewing them as tools was normal.

"Creating Gargoyles is indeed simple, though with the materials currently available, forming a legion powerful enough for confrontation is difficult—if prepared now, using your people's high mobility and strength could barely gather a legion, but is it necessary?"

Lisidorwei inhaled deeply upon hearing Mohe's words: "Lord Mohe, if you're still blaming me for the past betrayal, you can punish me as you see fit, but you and Doro are bound together by fate now. If you are indifferent, while you possess eternal life and endless chances, Doro..."

"You're really all about Doro, huh~"

Lisidorwei understood her words had displeased the Demon King, but she still expressed her determination: "Lord Mohe..."

"If you think it's necessary to engage in legion warfare with the enemy, prepare it yourself, Lisidorwei." Mohe withdrew his casual demeanor, "You think I don't know you're creating 'minions'?"

The so-called minions can be seen as a division of Lisidorwei's power, able to create vampire "roots" without materials. Once these minions possess certain life forms, they automatically transform them into vampires—of course, this process is complex and weird—not as easy as Mohe turning others into demon race members. Lisidorwei's blood relatives mostly come this way.

Mohe gazed at Lisidorwei with disdain: "If you want Doro to know what you're doing, go ahead."

"Lord Mohe!"

"I have my will, what makes you think you can change my thoughts, my will? Lisidorwei! If you want to die now, I'll fulfill that!"

The lovely girl before her revealed the Demon King's dreadful side; she was never a mere girl—it once ruled the world, and the deaths of the first and second generations of vampires resurfaced in Lisidorwei's mind. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She thought she had mentally prepared for this, knowing Mohe's likely reaction...

But the trembling from the soul never ceased.

Before the great Demon King, as its creation, she had no room to resist—back when she betrayed the Demon King, she didn't dare face even a single meeting... though meeting eyes in the final battle, Mohe's gaze only held the Hero. It was a fight unknown to others, bizarre.

At that time, she wasn't in Mohe's focus.

Silence spread between the two.

After a long while, Mohe seemed to finally relent. She sighed, "Fine, I can give you a furnace. As long as you put the corresponding ratio of materials in, you can create a gargoyle. If you can persuade others to help gather the materials, let them, or you can handle it yourself. I won't interfere with how you use the gargoyle you create."

Lisidorwei lifted her head in surprise, "Demon King!"

Now she's willing to call me Demon King...

"Don't call me that. No matter what, I am human now. I can't always consider myself a Demon King. When I return to that position, I will reclaim the name, just like the name Ah.

"Yes!"

Mohe watched as Lisidorwei left her room, and she couldn't help but smile.

This was, of course, a conspiracy. In fact, Lisidorwei's actions were basically within Mohe's calculations. Without any preparation, Lisidorwei was bound to panic.

It would be better to say, if Lisidorwei didn't take the initiative to find her, she would figure out a way to provoke the other party.

Mohe was never a good person—she thought about Doro using her martial arts, which made her quite uneasy... Therefore, even if she faced some risks, she had to cause Doro to "break" defensively once. She must really see into this old hero's heart; how much did he truly learn in the previous battle? What real changes occurred in his heart over these years of decay...

Without knowing everything, she couldn't feel at ease.

So, Lisidorwei deserved death.

The agreement with Doro, of course, stands. If Doro really retrieves Mohe's right hand, then Mohe will help extend Lisidorwei's life. But again, what if Doro isn't as simple and pure as he appears? A person who learned her techniques after just one battle and was deceived like that would still believe in this world? It's possible such a person could become a conspirator.

Perhaps, it's not her using Doro; instead, Doro is using her.

From this angle, it was strange that Charlette managed to escape at that time—couldn't Doro actually take her down?

This situation might be what Doro is happy to see.

Among those who could be sacrificed, Mohe personally felt that Lisidorwei's sacrifice was the best. Firstly, Lisidorwei wasn't truly loyal to her... If she had to choose between life and Doro, Lisidorwei would undoubtedly choose Doro, which is terrible—that person had betrayed her in the past.

As for Rose and Ah Xion, neither of them is "pure." At the very least, they aren't purely aligned with Doro. If she were to break with Doro, Mohe felt more assured she could control these two.

Doro wasn't completely without feelings for these two either.

The war launched by the White Church in conjunction with the Human Central Empire against the former Demon King—in reality, it's a mutual "understanding" shared by Mohe, Charlette, and the Wise King, who are leaders in a certain sense.

Mohe knew very well this war would grow exaggerated, but it wouldn't truly kill the Demon King... At least not before the White Church and the Human Central Empire gained sufficient benefits. The war's launch. The Demon King and the old Hero are just excuses—

Everyone opposes the Demon King; everyone wants to become the Demon King.

When the Wise King feels his position is equivalent to the past Demon King's, that's when the Demon King should truly die. Now—a Demon King who has only regained an arm is a very good target. With the Wise King's superior political skills, he can do so much with this war.

But then again, even if it's pretend warfare, there can't be no victory at all, right?

Mohe naturally had to offer some victories to the other side. The former Vampire Queen, the human Bloody Queen, is a very good achievement.

During the war, this vampire, under the guidance of the Demon King, resisted frantically. Eventually, humans, unafraid of hardships, led a coalition to eliminate Lisidorwei. The Demon King and the Hero were severely injured, escaping in a panic, unable to stir up any trouble—sounds like a pretty good script. This way, the Demon King can still make a comeback again, as for when...

Depends on when the Church and the Human Central Empire need it.

So, Mohe, Charlette, the Wise King, they all know this very well.

In such a game, what kind of chips they can obtain, depends on everyone's skills.

If this opportunity could make Doro truly fall, then Mohe profits. At the worst, she must probe Doro's true thoughts.
