Bai Xiaowen now understood how Meng Chuan of Heavenly Prefecture Territory had gained control of a demon army.
Meng Chuan must have befriended and courted demon forces, obtained a Contract Tablet, then used it to sign a Primordial Covenant with some demons.
And the demon he had courted was the Calamity King.
As for the Silver King, Meng Chuan probably had no way to contact him directly. The Silver King might not even know about Meng Chuan or Heavenly Prefecture Territory.
Otherwise, Heavenly Prefecture Territory could simply have notified the Silver King. The rules might prevent them from revealing Bai Xiaowen's true origins, but a few carefully placed hints would still have been enough to get the Silver King to attack Utu Town.
This showed that the Calamity King had plans of his own and was not wholly loyal to the Silver King. A demon warlord who had risen through his own efforts was bound to have his own agenda. He might even be thinking of taking the Silver King's place.
Bai Xiaowen then signed a Primordial Covenant with all two thousand militia soldiers of the Human Allied Army, taking their Spirit Force Marks into the Contract Tablet.
About half the militia were Elite Tier, while the rest were Common Tier. The gap between their power and Bai Xiaowen's was too great. Once their Spirit Force Marks entered the Contract Tablet, their names did not appear on it or take up any space.
Notably, even a Boss Tier fighter like Herbart could not leave his name on the tablet with his Spirit Force Mark. Kelowen found that surprising.
As Kelowen saw it, "Hristos" was a Lord Tier powerhouse. Herbart was only one tier below him, so his Spirit Force Mark should have been strong enough to make his name appear
