After making a rough guess of César’s motive, Roy immediately understood why Demon Lord Rogeros had him continue carrying out the execution mission.

Logically speaking, even though he had sensed the Balotan Pillar, which had lost its functionality, had reactivated and came over to take a look out of curiosity, he actually did not have to expend a large amount of magic power to forcefully locate César’s position and open the Gate of the Abyss. Roy had thought that this might have been because Rogeros was vengeful and could not tolerate any betrayal, so he was determined to kill César.

But in fact, after hearing Roy’s story, he had probably realized what César wanted to do!

After all, the demon lord was a demon lord. These demon lords had lived in the Abyss for countless years and had seen many things. Any action was enough to make them think of the possible subsequent consequences.

César might have thought that he had hidden the truth from everyone, but he did not know that Rogeros had instantly guessed his intentions.

Roy could not help but wag his tail slightly and start thinking.

From the looks of it, I’m afraid that aside from punis.h.i.+ng the betrayal, the bigger reason why Rogeros wants me to continue hunting down César is to prevent this transformation!

Roy thought.

In other words, he doesn’t want to see César become a half-human half-demon. What is the reason?

This was what Roy did not understand the most.

Demons are cruel and bloodthirsty, and they often have destructive thoughts. If there’s a half-human half-demon that can be accommodated by another world and won’t be repulsed, then it might really be possible to destroy or dominate this world. Demons should be happy to see this, but why does Rogeros want to stop it?

Is he worried that César will threaten his position after he grows up? Or is it because he’s jealous of César and doesn’t want to see him wantonly plundering souls in this world?

Or perhaps there are other reasons?

Roy only felt that he could not understand. He currently knew too little information, and he had not reached the level of a demon lord. He had no way of knowing what the considerations of these demon rulers were.

However, it did not matter if he did not understand. Roy only needed to complete his mission and then see if he could obtain any benefits in this world. After all, he could not make a wasted trip here.

A few days later, just as Roy was feeling bored, the good news finally came. The intelligence personnel of the Allies had confirmed the location of the Thule Society’s headquarters!

It might be easy to say, but in reality, the Allies had sacrificed countless intelligence personnel for this piece of information. At a time when science was flouris.h.i.+ng, the upper echelons of the Allies were unwilling to believe in such ridiculous-sounding occultisms. But it was obvious that since Roy, a true demon, appeared, they could only believe it even if they did not want to!

Furthermore, they had already had enough of this d.a.m.ned war. Now that an opportunity that could turn them into victors had appeared, how could they not vigorously investigate?

After confirming the location of the Thule Society’s headquarters, the next step was the a.s.sault. Therefore, apart from Professor Broom, there was also a special force of about fifty people in front of Roy!

This special force was chosen from all the Allied troops. They were all smart, brave, and capable elite soldiers. As the German army had the advantage now, it was not easy for them to attack the Thule Society’s headquarters on a large scale, and they could only use this kind of special operations to infiltrate secretly.

This special force was led by a colonel. Before coming, they were unsure what the mission exactly was, so when they saw Roy, their jaws dropped.

A few frightened soldiers almost shot Roy, but at the crucial moment, Broom stopped them and introduced Roy to them.

When they heard that their mission actually involved taking action with a demon, everyone gasped.

They kept drawing crosses over their faces and chests. Some people even muttered, “d.a.m.n it, are the Allies planning to fight against G.o.d? Don’t tell me that the little mustached man is the righteous one!”

Of course, Roy heard this. He could not help but sneer and mock the soldiers. “Yes, when you are at war, cities collapsed, and your homes were destroyed, G.o.d sent a demon to save you!”

As a demon, Roy was used to the hostile att.i.tudes of the various races against him, but he still disliked these people who claimed to be righteous.

No one was on the righteous side of a war. They only had different positions. Even if there were no demons instigating them, humans were always at war. They would throw everything to justice and evil and dump everything on demons. As a demon, Roy did not want to take the blame…

These soldiers choked on their words, unable to say anything. They were extremely embarra.s.sed. Yes, many soldiers were pious, but why had no angels come to save the world in this darkest and cruelest era?

Fortunately, Broom, this good old man, came out to smooth things over. Although he did not have much combat power, as a supernatural consultant, he had to partic.i.p.ate in this operation and could also play the role of mediating.

Roy could have killed his way into the Thule Society’s headquarters and completed his execution mission alone. However, considering how César had been operating in this world for a long time, Roy was worried that he would use the German army’s power to create traps for him after he discovered him. Although most human artillery fire could no longer cause any harm to Roy at this stage, who could guarantee that the Thule Society’s headquarters would not have thousands of kilograms of explosives buried that would detonate as soon as he appeared?

Roy probably could not withstand such a powerful explosion…

Therefore, it was still beneficial for Roy to have these Allied soldiers following along, and he did not reject them.

The operation soon began. These Allied soldiers took a military transport plane and would then parachute down. Roy and Fat Tiger had wings, so they did not join in the fun. They only followed the plane in the sky. With Roy’s flying speed, he could keep up with the transport plane.

The Thule Society’s headquarters was in Poland, which the German army occupied. This raid was very risky, so the Allies even planned a large-scale counterattack in an attempt to attract the German army’s attention and prevent them from paying attention to this raid.

The operation was carried out at night. The transport plane flew across the Polish border and then dropped the Allied soldiers from the sky. The operation team would then march a distance into Poland on foot.

Along the way, there would be many German outposts. The operation team planned to avoid them as much as possible to reduce the number of battles. However, Roy shook his head when he heard this plan. “This is too slow!”

There were advantages and disadvantages to having these Allied soldiers. The disadvantage was that Roy had to wait for them, which was far less convenient than moving on his own, so he decided to change the operation team’s plan.

“Let’s go straight through!” Roy’s claws gently tapped the map, easily poking a hole in the rock under the map. “Leave the battles along the way to me. All you have to do is to keep up, and it doesn’t matter if we’re exposed. Before the German army and the Thule Society react, we just have to rush to our destination!”

The Allied soldiers of the operation team looked at each other. No one had communicated with Roy on the way here, so they had no idea how strong this demon was.

Roy did not give them a chance to question him. He flew into the air with Fat Tiger and rushed toward the first outpost along the way.

The operation team had no choice but to hurry and follow. Of course, their speed was much slower than Roy’s. Before they got close, they heard the sound of explosions and the terrified shouts of German soldiers.

When the operation team soldiers arrived at the outpost, they found that the battle had already ended!

The entire outpost was full of the corpses of German soldiers, and raging flames were ablaze on the buildings. The only one standing at the scene was this demon named Osiris!

When they saw this scene, they could not help but take a deep breath. This was a border outpost with more than a hundred soldiers. How was it slaughtered in just ten minutes?!

For the first time, these soldiers looked at the guns in their hands, and they were no longer so confident in the combat strength of humans!

After storing all the souls floating in this area, Roy pointed at the vehicles that he had deliberately left behind. “Those are for you! Get on them and follow me closely!”

Thus, less than half an hour after the battle ended, the operation team set off again under Roy’s leaders.h.i.+p. As Roy had said, he was not afraid of being exposed. Anyway, he just had to rush to the Thule Society’s headquarters and kill César before reinforcements from the German army arrived.

However, what he did not know was that Professor Broom, who had been following the operation team, was recording Roy’s battle situations along the way…

It could be said that the people of this world had truly come into contact with creatures such as Abyss demons. Thus, the necessary records were required.

After charging through in a straight line, their advancing speed was naturally much faster. However, they still encountered seven or eight outposts of various sizes along the way. Among these outposts, there were at least dozens of people to more than a hundred people. Roy felt that the closer he got to the Thule Society’s headquarters, the denser the outposts became! It seemed that these German troops were sent to protect the Thule Society.

However, although there were many outposts, there were no heavy weapons. With Roy’s combat strength, he could handle them all, and he obtained hundreds of souls from this!

At around four o’clock in the morning, Roy and the rest finally arrived at the Thule Society’s headquarters…
