"We have just over a thousand left, six hundred of which are the main force."
Lady Web spoke with a cold tone, offering no further explanation. However, Lancelot understood that the 'main force' the Demon Lord referred to meant Middle Rank Demons like the Berserk Demon and the Brezu Demon.

Therefore, even though a Demon Legion had more cannon fodder than main force, their strength determined their status in the eyes of commanders—similar to expendable items like arrows and javelins. It's best to use up all these expendables before deploying the main force troops.
