An-I's assessment of this is:
It's so obvious!
Although Milai was given a job similar to a bodyguard in [Nightmare], she didn't actually have to act like a real bodyguard.
But this identity became an obsession for Mi Lai, making her subconsciously think of herself as An Yi's subordinate.
Following An Yi's rhythm, one might even wonder if there was an extra person in the Saintess Squad.
From initially not understanding it, I've now even gotten used to it.
It was because of this that one day An Yi discovered that Milai would no longer secretly take out her notebook to write those silly little essays.
"Haven't you been writing in your diary lately?"
"That's what Annie asked at the time."
Hearing An Yi's question, Mi Lai was also taken aback. She used her ability to manipulate blood to suppress her blushing face before answering.
"I discovered that it can also be recorded in the system."
So they burned the notebook that recorded the story of the "Sword Hero".
She wondered, if the Sword Hero found out the contents of that notebook, he would definitely find her disgusting.
Several months have passed since then. She has spent several months with the swordsman she admires most and has successfully gained his trust, joining his secret organization.
Sometimes, Milai would think that in this brutal war against the demons, she had obtained a kind of "happiness" that other heroes could hardly obtain through a very cunning method.
But she quickly put all of that behind her.
Now is not the time for happiness!
She was just fighting alongside the Sword Hero, nothing more.
Moreover, she had also decided to part ways with the Sword Hero.
The Blood Warriors Squad is the leader squad of one of the war zones.
Even if she had a thousand reasons to stay here, at this stage she had to go back to her own war zone.
I can't stay in this completely stable city. It's time to take on my original responsibilities and lead my own war zone.
Soon after, the Saintess Squad and the Blood Warrior Squad bid farewell to the warriors remaining in Nightmare Earl's City.
The Blood Warriors Squad returned to the [Sand Eye City War Zone].
The Saintess Squad, on the other hand, returned directly to human territory.
On the way, An Yi thought to herself—
"I wonder how Master is doing lately."
It seems like he hasn't seen Irene for almost a year.
Volume 3: Chapter 641, Section 127: The Marquis's Order to Expand Territory (4k)
The warriors who remained in Nightmare Earl's City had reached the most stable period of their conquest careers.
There were no other demons causing trouble in the city, all demon organizations had been wiped out, and there was no need to continue attacking the Marquis's City.
However, just a few days after the Saintess Squad left, an uninvited guest visited the Earl's mansion.
That was an envoy from the Marquis above.
The person they met was none other than Lana, the Dragon Warrior.
In the meeting room, Lana maintained a low level of dragonification, just enough to cover her bare hands and cheeks with dragon scales, as she met the other party.
She asked An Yi why she could demonstrate her [Dragon Transformation] ability when her strength was far from sufficient.
Before entering the city of Earl Ba, Wu had already promised to protect Liu's secret for the rest of his life. (4℃◇”∽2°「)
And An's answer was—
Demons who have reached the Marquis level are no longer foolish enough to provoke dragons.
Lana only has the strength to kill level 20 demons, but as long as she sits down and reveals her dragon scales, the envoy opposite her, who is five levels above her, is so nervous that his palms are sweating.
Lana knew that her attributes were inferior to her opponent's.
But the other person thought that Lana could tear him apart!
"Speak, what is it?" Lana didn't stand on ceremony; she couldn't afford to lose in terms of presence.
"Then I'll get straight to the point."
Even though the envoy was drenched in sweat, he pretended to be calm and showed the seriousness that an envoy should have.
"According to our investigation, at least 80% of Marquis Griffith's Marquisate is controlled by [Chaos Demons]."
Under the rule of [Chaos Demon], the Marquis's Domain gradually became more stable after a period of turmoil.
What the Marquis wants to know now is when the [Chaotic Demons] will begin their territorial expansion.
What does it mean that 80% of the Marquis's Domains are controlled by the [Chaos Demon]?
In other words, apart from the Marquis City and the two Earl Cities that have not yet been conquered, almost all the Viscount and Baron Domains below have been breached by the Chaotic Demons.
In reality, the heroes did not govern the city at all, nor did they know how to govern it; they simply conquered and occupied it.
The one secretly managing the entire city is actually [Nightmare].
The marquis didn't care who ruled these lower-level territories, because a count's domain was controlled by the count himself.
In other words, the viscounts and barons below were essentially subordinates who had to obey the earl's orders; they were simply managing the earl's territory for him.
Take Earl Elwin as an example. If he wanted, he could even replace all the lords of the viscount and baron cities with the White Demon.
All viscount domains and baron cities included in the count domain are count domains and are considered territories to be managed by the count.
The Marquisate contains three Earlates, and the three Earls essentially manage all the Marquis's territories except for the Marquisate City.
The current situation of the [Chaos Demons] is that they have not only taken over the Earl's Domain that originally belonged to Earl Elwin, but also annexed all the territories of the other two Earls, except for Earl's City.
Apart from the two earl cities, all the viscount and baron cities below were taken over by the [Chaos Demon].
One of the counts felt a great sense of crisis, while the other was a count who had given the [Chaos Demon] nine viscount cities.
The other party had no interest in the cities, after all, he was the first to give away the cities below, and he originally intended to leave them to the [Chaos Demon] and be a hands-off manager.
Earl Peterson never expected this...
This Nightmare Viscount is so powerful!
As the Chaotic Demon spread like a virus, the Nightmare Viscount also transformed into the Nightmare Earl!
Of course, what he didn't expect was that if he hadn't given these nine viscount cities as a breeding ground for the heroes, they really wouldn't have been able to develop so quickly.
If he had sent some of his men to guard the city and maintain order, the warriors would not have been able to break through the city so easily.
It was Earl Peterson's inaction, his willingness to watch the show and secretly rejoice, that allowed the "Chaos Demon" to begin its rampant growth.
"Territorial expansion? Haven't we expanded enough?" Lana frowned slightly.
Seeing the other party frown, the envoy's heart trembled, but he still pretended to be calm and continued: "This..."
It is not aimed at territorial expansion within the demon race, but rather at territorial expansion in undeveloped areas.
Please see the map.
The messenger pointed, and a map flew out of his sleeve and unfolded on the table in the reception room.
At this moment, a map of the entire demon territory, more detailed than any map humanity had ever obtained before, was placed before Lana.
Lana was also secretly surprised, but the other party didn't dare to look her in the eye at all. Instead, he stretched out a withered finger with sharp nails and pointed to a corner of the map.
"This is the area that was originally planned to be completely occupied within ten years, but there has been no progress in the last two years."
Originally, they were sending some low-level demons to occupy the area, but it seems they encountered resistance from the local native races.
The members of [Chaos Demon] caused a slight hiccup to this plan.
Now that the [Chaos Demons] have achieved a complete victory, the Marquis is thinking that it's time to let the [Chaos Demons] advance further and conquer more territory for our demon race.
"Although further expansion would only increase the habitat of lower-level creatures."
But expanding these territories is equivalent to expanding the territory of our duchy, and equivalent to expanding the territory of the entire demon race.
As far as I know, most of the border areas are now under the control of the [Chaos Demons], right?
This isn't just needed here; please also inform all other [Chaos Demon] members in the border regions.
It's time to advance our territory downwards.
As the messenger spoke, he circled the small corner representing human territory with his withered finger.
"Didn't you say ten years? What's the rush?" Lana said impatiently, her face practically screaming, "Don't point fingers at us [Chaos Demons]!"
"Yes, yes, there's nothing we can do. This is a task assigned from above. Every marquis has a certain quota to complete each year."
Rather than calling it His Excellency the Duke's mission, it's more accurate to say...
"It's a mission given by the Demon King." The messenger answered respectfully, afraid of angering the dragon lord.
Lana didn't answer, but just looked down at the map for a long time;
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "I will convey to my master that you may return."
"Thank you very much," the messenger replied with a smile.
This was originally meant to be discussed with Count Nightmare, but...
This living father is elusive and impossible to find, unlike other lords who only stay in the lord's manor.
When the other party was a viscount, Xiao↑Shuoｑun：∮）∩〉⊥♂⊥「′，it was just that we only saw [Chaos Demon] and not [Nightmare Viscount].
No matter how they investigated, they couldn't find any useful information about the other party; all they knew was that he was the master of the [Chaos Demon].
Therefore, even if it was a marquis's messenger, he could only try his luck at the earl's mansion.
He should also be thankful for his good fortune in being able to meet the Nightmare Earl's confidant!
And then there's the lord, the lord. What kind of lord doesn't stay in his own territory all day long?
A lord's territory is his home turf, and the Nightmare Earl has only just acquired the powers of a lord. Shouldn't he be building his own earldom in his territory?
The Earl's mansion in "Nightmare Earl" is awesome.
