Han Dong had also spent a long time considering the ‘meeting issue.’

He had been separated from the main force for nearly two years.

Using his unique abilities, relationships, opportunities, and efforts, he had established an identity and authority in London City only second to the Priest, including direct authorization from his biological mother.

Part of this was for his own convenience and that of his estate, but a larger part was for the Expeditionary Army and the human cause.

How to meet with everyone again?

If he were to reveal his identity to the Knight Regiment in a grand manner, it might feel exhilarating momentarily, but it would definitely trigger a series of chain reactions.

It could even affect the credibility of the captains and shake the core beliefs of all the knights.

The knights, having been exposed to the Eternal Night environment for a long time, were not as mentally steadfast as they were in the Holy City, and one could even say that a ‘Seed of Fall’ had been quietly planted within them–a seed that, once sprouted, could change their worldview and outlook on life.

Han Dong’s rash meeting could accidentally ignite these seeds, causing the knights to lose their fundamental spirit and degenerate into the human beings of ancient times–a race accustomed to serving demons.

Therefore,

Han Dong chose this location for the meeting, revealing his identity only in front of the captains.

Guiding humanity in such a monumental duty was never Han Dong’s responsibility; he never considered it as such, and it was not suitable for his status.

All Han Dong wanted to do was to operate in the shadows like Mr. Black White, simply making connections and building bridges.

“Captain Marlon, Great Demon Leader, Captain Shaia, and Captain Olivia, long time no see!

I am truly sorry to meet you in this manner.

A lot has happened recently, and I have been very busy, almost without any spare time… The comprehensive modification of the Eastern City District was also hastily carried out a week ago.

Also, considering the fundamental issues of the Knight Regiment, I did not greet you outside the city gates immediately.”

As Captain Marlon and Captain Shaia both had a lot to say,

the composure of the Great Demon Leader’s expression broke through the white gelatinous skin of his face, opening up into a large demon mouth, uttering words of acknowledgment and affirmation:

“Indeed, well done.

Hugo had a private talk with me before setting off on the expedition, suggesting that you might play a certain ‘role’ during the expedition, but the extent of it was uncertain.

Now it seems, we have our answer.

Thank you for everything you have done for the Expeditionary Army and for all of humanity, and congratulations on successfully opening the gate.

Please join us later to return to the Eastern City District; the coronation ceremony for the ‘Elite Knight’ is also essential, where you will be introduced to a brand new circle.”

“Of course.

Let me explain the details of the ‘London Game’ to all the captains next.”

Under his mother’s permission, Han Dong lit a unique Corpse Oil Candle at the center of the conference table, restoring everyone’s vision to make the subsequent explanations more impactful and specific.

Firstly,

Han Dong constructed a scaled model of London using Yellow Sand,

then simulated the interdimensional portals using the dark smoke from the burning Corpse Oil Candle above,

placing his left arm on the tabletop, drawing upon his understanding of Truth to unleash a very delicate Death magic that used black sand grains to craft figures of the Dark Denizens, game participants, and foreign invaders moving through London City.

In a dynamic form, he recounted the London Game that happened a year ago.

“In this game, we successfully repelled the first wave of invaders from the Holy Level World, and also completely executed a Mythic Body.

Such an overwhelming victory caused the Organization behind Fate to completely revise their plans for the next large-scale invasion, with even a considerable possibility of convening multiple worlds for a joint invasion.

At that time,

the demons from the London area, along with our Human Expeditionary Army, will work together to fight against the invaders from other worlds.”

Meanwhile, at least ten “Upper Position” members will be monitoring the entire battle situation closely.

If we can satisfy the following two conditions, we will be granted certain “permissions”:

1. Secure a comprehensive victory in the continuation of the London Game.

2. The “value assessment” of the Human Expeditionary Army during the campaign must exceed that of the Demon Coalition Army for the same period.

I have confirmed with my biological mother that as long as the above conditions are met,

Individuals with exceptional performance during the campaign and meeting King-level standards will receive the “Sharp Corner Conference” entry ticket, granting them eligibility for “Kingly Qualification.”

Holy City will also be awarded a “King-level Land Deed (Lower).”

This land deed will be jointly controlled by the humans who become kings, marking an important turning point in human history.

There will also be a series of cooperative matters between humans and demons to be discussed in detail at the “Sharp Corner Conference”… This is the greatest interest I can fight for at present.”

When Han Dong said these words,

“Well done… Very good!”

The Great Demon Leader actually had a lot to say, but due to being overly excited, most of his mental energy was used to suppress such emotional fluctuations to avoid any misbehavior during the meeting.

What Han Dong proposed was exactly the ultimate goal of the “Big Expedition.”

The Big Expedition is not about leaving the city to execute demons and declare so-called independence.

Instead, it is to prove the value of humanity to demons in this manner.

From the very beginning, humanity was not the master of the world and even made grave mistakes in ancient times that nearly resulted in world destruction.

When the Secret Language Knight Order deciphered the ancient stele and understood the whole truth,

The “Supreme Council” had already started discussing this important topic – “On How to Regain Human Position and Sovereignty.”

The idea of trying to catch up to demons merely by relying on the power of fate and closing off the nation is impossible in the short term… and may never be possible.

And.

The truth revealed on the stele also made the high-ups very aware that the “Door of Fate” is a double-edged sword.

Should one day a world invasion, equivalent to that of ancient times, be launched using the portal within Holy City as a node, the undeveloped humanity, not even having attained a kingship, would be enslaved or even extinct in an instant.

If we were to obsequiously rely on fate, it would contradict the spirit of knighthood and the fundamental principles of being born in this world.

Since the sleeping demons are awakening and granting humans an opportunity by preserving three major cities from invasion,

There must be someone who can stand up and prove the value of humanity with the courage of the present-day humans, to repay the ancient mistakes made by humanity and reclaim the world permissions that belong to them.

Therefore, despite the opposition of another major city, Holy City has brought the Big Expedition to the agenda, ready to take a significant step in human history.

Unexpectedly,

The ultimate negotiation goal of the Big Expedition for “world permissions,” that is, “kingships” and “land deeds,” was brought forward as a reward condition by a ‘common knight’ at the conference table.

A lot of concerns were alleviated in advance.

What the Expeditionary Army needs to do next is just one thing – respond to the impending invasion war.

“As for the living arrangements in London City and certain behavior restrictions, I have prearranged them in this document.

After all, we are still living on our mother’s land deed, and although many restrictions have been lifted, some fundamental rules still need to be followed. I hope the Expeditionary Army can experience a comfortable state similar to living in Holy City during the four months in London City, recovering the spirit and body as before the start of the expedition.

Moreover, I have already communicated well with Father Lysos.

Humans and demons can engage in various ‘friendly’ activities – including banquets, martial arts exchanges, and more. Everyone can even try to gradually accept the dark environment of London City, visit other areas of London, and live with the Dark Denizens for some private social activities.

I also have a detailed proposal prepared.

Such interactive activities are highly meaningful for our upcoming united combat.

That’s all I have to say; leaders, if you have any questions, just ask. Father Lysos is very approachable, and he is also the main person in charge of the London surface.”
