"Prepare thyself for the artillery plows the fields, bullets plant the grounds and the infantry reap the harvest, oh great king."

Demon Lord: Hahaha I have hundreds of thousands of troops to deploy! The nations of Earth: Aww that's adorable! Did anyone else get the idea that the world response was "measured" for lack of a better description?

Story 1: I am a Demon, hear me roar! Earth: Ah so its another tuesday. Story 2: Humans are cute. Until they arent.

Story 1: I choose to believe that this being was only role playing as the devil and not actually the devil. As in "Why would God need a starship?" - Capt Kirk

Humans have an excessive amount of firepower per individual... the dark lords mistake was getting all that excess firepower aimed at him. Humanity with a common enemy is a lot of daka and boom just itching to go off.

Story 1: Humanity would like to remind you that reconnaissance and intelligence gathering are key to any conquest strategy, and that no matter how seemingly unbelievable the reports are, it is wise to double check them before committing to offensive action on any undeniable scale. Story 2: A fine example of why Empaths can be far from friendly, kind and nice. After all, not recognizing others methods of communication is a key issue with new and first contacts. Thank you Agro Squirrel and to our fine authors.

Devils have a law forbidding them from going to Earth. When the devil king was asked the purpose of the law, why was Earth the one and only place completely off-limits, the devil king, the undisputed master of deviousness, pain, and machinations, answered "The residents there taught me all I know, and yet remain masters beyond all I could ever hope to be."

Damn they did even need to call the Canadian troops to fight the demon lord of darkness

Ngl attacking the planet that has a bunch of homicidal apes on it that 100% would build a BFG literally the microsecond someone finds out how to weaponize plasma because some 30 something year old scientist is feeling nostalgic may be a small oversight on the demon lord's part.

I once wondered how Souron would respond to a nuclear attack on Mordor. Now I know! 🤣

So if we take the demons out, where do the souls of the evil dead go? And doesn't that mean he has to kill us not once but twice? This assumes the dead of there don't just return for yet another swing.

Those poor demons have no idea what kind of Hornets nest is headed their way. All of the armies of Earth combined are dangerous enough, let alone when the nukes start flying.

Story 1. The humans just nuked hell

In DAKKA we trust. All others eat nukes.

For the Authors, for The Bard and for the almighty Algorithm.

It's all fun and games, until the nukes start flying.

Oh, so that's why Demon Lords avoid Earth.

First story reminds me of Gate anime, it's always lots of fun when overwhelming forces is used against helpless "kings".

Greetings Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo Story 1: Clearly the Sauron ripoff hasn't met the Doom Slayer. Well, we have an entire army's worth of Doom Slayers! Story 2: A little confusing as told from the alien perspective, but nonetheless satisfying.

For the Algorithm, for the Author(s), for the Disembodied Voice!

2033? You’re a decade ahead of us?

Sauran Rip Off 😂🤣👌 6:52 Ambassador got balls 💪😎👌

The writer totally missed the chance to have the ambassador say not today Satan

"You will pay with your soul!" - Joke is on him, our politicians don't have one.

Omg, super excited for this thank you agro! Your the best!

In WW2 the major combatants Armies, Navies, Air Forces were, Allied powers; the Soviet Union had 34 million men and women, the U.S 16 million, and Great Britain 6 million. The Axis powers: Germany 18 million, Japan 9 million, Italy 4 million. Worldwide in 2020, there are 30,277,850 million people serving in the armed forces The total number of armed forces personnel including reserve military and paramilitary units is 75,543,487.

Thank you for the reading

#2 is quite an esoteric one

Holy cow this is a really good story

I'm confused abiut the first story. The dark lord says he has control of planets, why would he only have numbers in the thousands? Is it that he has raided the worlds that he owns to ruins?

Sabotan intensifies

What kind of world did the "demon" conquer up to that story? "My little pony" land?

Those numbers are actually a vast underestimation of even Earths current mostly peaceful time army sizes, let alone reservists or what could be expected from a mobilisation. Take Germany for example, they mention 20k soldiers, but even just the currently standing active combat units of the military are 182k, alongside 81k that serve in a mostly civilian role supporting those, and 56k reservists with regular training, but it is only that small, because Germany is entirely surrounded by best friends and allies. Countries with any kind of beligerant on their borders have way more troops, especially in reservists. Take Finland as an example. Despite being much smaller than Germany in population, they have 870k reservists alone, because they border Russia and until recently due to neutrality would have been expected to defend themselves alone. And these are the individual European countries with high standards of living, small-ish populations and a long era of peace, and as such little drive to go into service. The best estimate I could find on worldwide sum of all armies, as would be used in an outside invasion, at least in large parts, is 27 million standing active soldiers, not counting reservists, paramilitaries, civilian support, mobilisable population, etc., and that number is from before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. I haven't been able to find a number on how many reservists there are, but just to paint a picture going from the biggest, Vietnam has 2.5 million of those, Taiwan 1.5 million, Brazil 1.3 million, etc. so I'd be surprised if we couldn't field at least 40 million soldiers litterally within a day or two in case of a demonic invasion as portrait here, and many more than that again should a generall mobilisation be called. And what ever quality some of those may be, a guy with a rifle and not much else would still fuck up any group armed only with melee weapons, let alone the heavy weapons we have of all kinds. Not like it's going to matter if some of the tanks are 60s era then instead of brand new, if their enemy are cavallery at best. It would pretty much go, as it did in the anime Gate, total slaughter with even a small force armed with mid 20th century weapons.

Well, someone fecked around and found out on Story number 1

That entrance animation is crazy cool

100,000 Let's get to it

When all of earth decides it's time for a "Proportional Response." You are not violating human rights if they are not human, now are you?

THE THUMBNAIL!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂💀

Thanks for the story 🙂☺️😊

For the Algorithm11!

Story 1 reminds me of that novel, "Salvation" IIRC.

I thought they would have been Boy Scouts

dude he got hit with the power of the fkin sun! welcome to earth! poblation, not you!

Hundreds of thousands. (giggles) We have almost a million volunteers from West Africa alone most bringing their own AKM derived rifles with interchangeable ammunition and magazines all combat veterans. Russia has already shipped 500,000 AKMs and over 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition that they found in a dark corner of a T-62 storage garage. It will probably be a few days before third world crews are assembled the Brigade worth of Tanks. And even the remnents of the Khmer Rouge are appalled what the Muslim countries are going to bring to bear.

neat

For the Algorithm the story and the voice

keeper going

Oh and up to 73,000 tanks too.

i love being a doom fan-

Back from the future

Yes, I'm a "mental-gent".

I am so confused by the second one

just 50 milion, WE GOT 8 BILLION HUMANS

For the algorithm

for the algorithm

cant the demon just summon more?

How many of those souls were human? And special forces trained? And infiltrated hell ahead of the main force?

Mmm... so the collective human race just read what Jesus said to his followers, "and the Gates of Hell shall not prevail against you"... and decided to test it out. "Hey! It's true! .... daka-daka-daka..."

Those numbers from China are kinda off...

Rule number one, never mention better authors and stories in your own story.

THe problem with story number one is the idea that just because you can destroy 1000 times or a hundred times more deaon't mean you would win a war or that it is worth it. IF they have billions to fight with, you would end up witha costly conflict, where before you were barganing to reduce cost on the enemy and have them back off, now you are begging to reduce casualties or maybe not be whiped out or that you tired of fighting, which a pissed off enemy that may not have the same fighting habbits as a race like humans now might not be able to be asked to stop. So where before you may have been abel to end colnflict, now you have to destroy them and they will always send stuff,. it's kind of dumb. And what if they respawn? Then good job. You now have to fight forever. and if they don't surrender the more you piss them off and aren't like humans, well good job. You don't know if some alliens or demons would fight out of spite for all of eternity.

I hate when authors mix scifi and fantasy

You know they should not forget about the laser gun that the Navy has they could shoot the speed of light and cut a hole through the Moon in 30 seconds and contribute up to 200,000 pinpoint precision invented in 2004 perfected in 2012 and you're saying is still perfecting it to be even better hotter than the face of the Sun and as of 2022 they shot a boat out of the water with it the shot a hole through an aircraft carrier as well as cruisers jet planes drones and other things including missiles destroying everything within seconds. And that was all the tests the Navy also shared it with the Air Force and and now they can admit 250 Target at the exact same time and shoot them all with one laser weapon.

Came for sci fi got fantasy 👎

First story just didn’t hit Too vague, too uninspired

You scream too much

Just a bad story 👎
