Chapter 122: The Changing Winds

After the order was given, Doyle could not personally go to all the legions in such an urgent situation. The messenger team made up of Little Devils, the key members of the Little Devil Guild, and Doyle’s clan all quickly set out.

In no time, outside the Demon King Castle, the bustling Little Devils took out various acceleration scrolls and flying magical devices, rushing toward the front lines, catching the attention of many demon races inside Demon King Castle.

Soon, within a day or two, the various legions of the Demon Army that received the information also sprang into action.

Behind the Holy Alliance’s front lines, many legions of the Holy Alliance, secretly preparing and moving, also noticed the movements of the Demon Army.

However, because the eastern and central battlefields were too far from the Demon Army’s base, the Holy Alliance was unable to know exactly where the Demon Army was heading, only that the Demon Army was making significant moves.

Especially the central legions seemed to be heading west!

In response, several factions, including the United Kingdom of South Sotua and some Orc and Dwarf tribes, who were the main planners of this operation, reached a simple conclusion.

"Surely, our setup on the West Line worked!"

"The plan of ‘Qiong’ was a success!"

"No wonder they are from the top intelligence agency of South Sotua… Now our plan can go ahead as usual."

"This time, we must take back the Dragonspine Mountain range!"

After reaching a simple conclusion, these three forces also continued to carry out their own plans and arrangements.

The Holy Alliance’s army increased their actions, preparing for the raid and attack in a few days.

As the greatest hero, the legendary former mercenary of the United Kingdom of South Sotua, Qiong was very calm at this moment.

In the camp of the Holy Alliance, in the most inconspicuous small building of the United Kingdom of South Sotua, lies the country’s top intelligence agency, known as "The Eye of Satua," the branch of the "Royal Intelligence Investigation and Analysis Office."

Within the borders of South Sotua, monsters are numerous and the terrain is complex, with many swamps, dense forests, and mountains. Towns are mostly relatively independent, making Sneaker the most common profession among rangers in this land.

Assassins, thieves, and mercenaries are everywhere in this land, even many half-orcs and humans live together.

Several royal "guilds" and "royal institutions" often have legendary mercenaries among them – this is what many mercenaries hope for when they come to South Sotua.

Because of the friendly attitude towards strong mercenaries and adventurers, along with the long-term need for many hands in the monster-filled environment, South Sotua remains a paradise for mercenaries and adventurers today.

Qiong is one such person, active in this country as an individual; after gaining fame, she joined the famous mercenary group "Fishbone." When the whole Fishbone team was recruited, she continued to shine, and her outstanding abilities caught the attention of the United Kingdom of South Sotua, bringing her into the royal institution. She has now become one of the "ace" members of the intelligence agency The Eye of Satua.

However, many people within The Eye of Satua do not know where this quiet yet incredibly strong young girl comes from or what she looks like beneath her robe and veil.

Even the name she claims, "Qiong," has never been verified for its truth.

This is the United Kingdom of South Sotua – as long as you are strong enough, you will get everything you want in this country!

Just like Qiong at this moment, who is sitting on a chair in her room, polishing her dagger, while a respectful officer from the Royal Glory Legion of the United Kingdom of South Sotua stands beside her.

"Master Qiong, the Demon Army has started to move towards the western front… Thanks to you, the plan can proceed smoothly."

"I understand."

Qiong replied in a neutral tone.

The officer was clearly used to not getting a response to his flattery and felt no embarrassment, so he continued speaking.

"Master Qiong, there are some matters that may need your assistance…"

Qiong did not speak, but slightly paused the motion of wiping the dark red dagger in her hand and placed it on her lap, as if signaling the other person to continue.

"Recently, the higher-ups have received news that the Church of Light and the Golden Peacock Kingdom seem to be plotting something on the western front and have refused to cooperate with us, so… if they take any action, the higher-ups hope Master Qiong can keep an eye on the people from the Golden Peacock and the Church of Light."

The officer said in a lowered voice.

Although it is a well-known fact that the Holy Alliance is a superficial alliance, it is still not appropriate to openly "spy on allies."

But for Qiong, she still did not care.

"Understood."

After saying these two words, the officer nodded and left the room.

In the heart of the Holy Lieto Empire, the Lady of Light, sitting in the meeting room, received news about the movements of some factions in the Holy Alliance through the communication from the Golden Peacock.

"The South Sotua has joined forces with the Orcs and Dwarves to take back the Vera Plain," upon hearing this news, the Lady of Light smiled softly, "what a truly… naive idea."

"It seems that Her Holiness is not worried at all."

From the other end of the communication, Maria’s lazy voice came through.

"Of course, they have no idea what kind of power lies hidden in the Vera Plain. Those without faith lack the guidance of the divine, and thus end up in such a situation," the Lady of Light said lightly, "even the sanctuary is not prepared for an all-out war with the demon race… even we only dare to feint and hold back, not understanding where their confidence comes from."

"Wow, it looks like the waters are quite deep, but will their efforts really be in vain?"

The Golden Peacock and the United Kingdom of South Sotua are also sworn enemies, so Maria Diana couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

"Of course… but it is not all in vain. Their attacks will certainly make the demon race more alert in the frontline. At that time, it will instead draw more attention from the demon race to the front, and your chances of success with stealth will increase."

"Then I really should thank those guys," Maria Diana said with a smile. "In any case… I have already decided on my candidates, just waiting for Her Holiness’s news."

"I won’t make you wait long. After that group of unbelievers acts, the Sanctuary Knights will arrive at the new western line."

The Lady of Light said this and ended the communication.

She looked out the window of the conference room.

Rarely, outside Eden Palace, on the clear blue sky that is almost sunny all year round, a few clouds floated by.

It seemed like… the weather was about to change.
