Chapter 1284: Expeditionary Force
After the large-scale battle in Milan City ended.
The victorious Expeditionary Force received the recognition of a certain High-ranking Old King, along with a special invitation.
The invitation asked the Expeditionary Force to reach London City within a year and a half. (For details, readers may refer back to Chapter 1096—Demon Perception.)
With all commanders and Vice Commanders in agreement, the original expedition plan was streamlined and condensed into a route that could reach London City within one year.
Due to the High-ranking Old King's intervention, the rest of the expedition proceeded without obstruction.
Whenever they passed through Abyssal Demon territory, as long as the Knight Orders did not attack first, the Abyssal Demons—who had always regarded humans as prey and even harbored hatred toward them—would all take the initiative to avoid them.
A very small number of neutral Abyssal Demons were even willing to receive the passing Expeditionary Force, dispatching envoys to engage the commanders in friendly exchanges and offering basic food and lodging.
Naturally, the Expeditionary Force declined every friendly invitation from the Abyssal Demons.
If they truly spent the night in an Abyssal Demon's manor or town, then even if the other party meant well, the Knight Orders' contamination levels would inevitably rise rapidly.
Likewise.
Taking advantage of such opportunities, the Expeditionary Force would occasionally conduct extensive gold mining to ensure the normal operation of Endless Energy.
In addition, using the secret inscriptions on the stone tablets provided by the Whisper Knight Order, the Knight Orders acquired quite a few Chaos Materials from deep valleys, riverbeds, and ruined relics.
Once the materials were sent to the Mobile Sanctuary for purification, they could be used by the Knight Orders.
Speaking of purification, one had to mention the greatest problem of expeditions beyond the city—contamination.
