Chapter 1244: 553: The Great War’s Ultimate Killer Move! Female Version of Suo Lun!

"Mirror Demon King, if you absorb the spirits of enough people, can you restore your energy?" Lanling asked.

The Mirror Demon King was silent for a moment and said, "Master, it’s a form of nourishment, perhaps it’s not quite devouring."

Then, the Mirror Demon King began to explain that its energy source originates from the figure of the Demon God Monarch and a glimpse from the Demon King.

However, after countless years of consumption, this energy gradually diminished, so it began absorbing spiritual power from mental slaves.

To be precise, it’s about pulling the souls entering the mental slaves into the world inside its mirror, allowing their souls to nourish it.

This nourishment is continuous, rather than a sudden devouring.

"Master, I understand what you want to say. You’re thinking of letting me absorb the souls of countless soldiers from Constantine and Alfonso’s army to nourish my energy, to sustain this energy shield." said the Mirror Demon King.

"Yes, that’s exactly what I mean," Lanling replied.

The Mirror Demon King said, "That’s impossible. First, once they enter the Ghost Realm World, they will enter the Illusion Realm. During this process, I need to expend spiritual energy, not gain it, because I have to create various illusions to attract them to the front of the mirror and then let their souls enter my mirror world to obtain soul nourishment."

In other words, for the Mirror Demon King to obtain soul nourishment, he needs to lure people to the mirror to capture their souls.

The Mirror Demon King continued, "Many years ago, I could simultaneously capture hundreds or thousands of people, but now... My energy has been greatly depleted, especially after your lethal strike, I can no longer capture so many at once, unless..."

Its words were unfinished, but Lanling already understood.

Unless Lanling used the people of the Flame Demon Tribe as the Mirror Demon King’s mental slaves, allowing their souls to nourish him.

The Mirror Demon King said, "Don’t you have more than three hundred old and frail people in your hand? They don’t hold value for you anymore. Better let them enter my mirror world and become my soul slaves."

"Impossible..." Lanling declared firmly.

He has struggled hard all this time, finally establishing his own tribe and liberating the former Foreign Tribe Army from slavery and oppression.

Would he have to enslave them after establishing the tribe?

Of course, Lanling doesn’t have a moral obsession. If he can achieve his highest goals, he doesn’t mind using evil methods.

But if he does, the Flame Demon Tribe will lose its spirit.

The Flame Demon Tribe is still very weak now, the strongest aspect is the spirit and mental strength, once lost, the tribe will become like mindless zombies.

One just needs to look at the current construction fervor to know how precious this spirit is.

For two full months, the brothers of the Flame Demon Tribe have been sleeping less and working longer.

Eventually, even Suo Mo and Lanling had to drive them to sleep before they were willing to leave their camp.

And those old and frail who cannot do heavy work are working day and night, either sewing clothes or struggling to gather resources.

What delighted Lanling the most is that some older members have even started researching how to cultivate wild grains.

This step is the most crucial for Lanling’s future.

His tribe cannot rely solely on hunting and gathering, they need to cultivate grains and vegetables and raise livestock.

Only then will there be a continuous supply of food and meat.

Not only this, but they also need to vigorously develop handicrafts, military industries, and so on.

Only in this way can the Flame Demon Tribe truly become strong and truly establish its empire.

Nowadays in the entire tribe, there’s not a trace of selfishness, everyone is working hard, striving to build their home.

The whole tribe is like a perfect machine, every part functioning to its fullest.

Lanling can imagine that when the tribe expands, it definitely won’t be this perfect anymore.

Because the current one-thousand-plus brothers have grown through years, even more than a decade, of nurturing.

But these one-thousand-plus people are precious sparks, they can influence newcomers and carry out fairness, justice, dedication, and sacrifice to the end.

Therefore, this precious spirit is the foundation for the strength of the future Flame Demon Empire.

In Lanling’s eyes, the spirit of the tribe brothers is more precious than gold, and it must never be destroyed.

"Alright then," the Mirror Demon King sighed, "I must inform you, the enemy has a total of thirty thousand soldiers. Once they enter my energy range, with my energy, it’s impossible to simultaneously create illusions for so many people. Because to create illusions, I must first understand what they think, fear, and desire."

"I understand," Lanling said, "Can you then create an illusion that simultaneously leads all thirty thousand to one location?"

The Mirror Demon King responded, "Yes, for example, if there are steep cliffs on both sides and only a path in the middle, everyone will instinctively take that path."

Lanling said, "That’s enough. I’ll dig an incredibly huge death pit in the ground, and then all these soldiers will fall into it. This pit filled with water will be enough to drown thirty thousand people, so they’ll walk themselves into death."

The Mirror Demon King commented, "Then this pit must be extremely, extremely large."
