Chapter 136: I Laugh at the Foolish Demon Race and the Foolishness of the Demon King!

Inside the tent, Lolth was deep in thought, wondering why there was no movement at all from the new western front.

"Could it be that I arrived too early, or is the secrecy of this operation too high?"

While she was struggling to understand, the forces on the central and eastern fronts, miles away, had already begun to move.

Under the night sky, several legions from the United Kingdom of South Sotua, Dwarf tribe, and Orc tribe within the eastern and central defensive lines quietly left their fortresses and camps, gradually approaching the Demon Army’s base and lines while other forces remained still.

"Soldiers, the king and the chancellor have agreed, if we achieve victory, everyone will receive gold coins as a reward!"

"For the tribe!"

"Dwarfs, raise the cannons!"

"Send those demon races back to their hometowns!"

Several legions, when they were still hundreds of meters away from the Demon Army, lit their torches and set off the signal of attack with magical flames bursting in the sky, causing great chaos along the entire eastern front from the southeast to the central part.

The Orc chieftain and shaman, along with the tribal king of the Dwarfs, who rarely appeared on the front lines before, also showed up to launch a full attack on the Demon Army.

Soon, within the defense line of the Holy Alliance, the legions of the Elf Tribe, Ryman Empire, Golden Peacock Dynasty, Eastern Seven Kingdoms, and Holy Lieto Empire, along with some of the Dwarf tribe, were all stunned by the maneuvers of the legions led by the United Kingdom of South Sotua.

In fact, the overall command of the three defense lines had never been fully held by any one force, especially since each force had stationed at least one legion along the central defense line, with each legion fighting their own battles.

However, even if there was no command over other legions, typically such actions would still be communicated to the other legions.

The United Kingdom of South Sotua had indeed been planning something with several tribes recently, but everyone thought this plan was still in the preparation stage…

At least the high-ranking officials of all other forces in the Holy Alliance felt that they would be informed a day or two before an attack.

Who would have thought… that this group of guys would go so far?

The eastern and central defenses of the Holy Alliance became lively even before the Demon Army did.

In the battle command center, after an emergency meeting was called, the leaders and commanders of various factions began to blame the people left behind in South Sotua.

"What is going on here?"

"Why wasn’t the battle plan reported to the alliance…?"

"You bunch of fools, what on earth are you doing?"

Several factions, who usually have a conflict with the United Kingdom of South Sotua, slammed their hands on the table and started shouting.

However, the people from the United Kingdom of South Sotua were unusually strong and firm this time.

"This is our king’s decision!"

"The loss on the western front showed your incompetence… And why was the secret mine of Dragonspine Mountain discovered?"

"Ryman’s representative, do you really think these guys can be trusted?!"

"Or are you… trustworthy yourselves?"

"The parliament on Seychelles has already started to talk about negotiations… What a bunch of nonsense! Those negotiation folks are just a group of soft-hearted surrenderers!"

"As for the Church of Light and the Golden Peacock, haven’t you been plotting something recently? I’m not interested in knowing, but don’t criticize others when you’re just as bad!"

The intelligence and mercenary system of Sotua, built on recruiting mercenaries and adventurers from everywhere, is showing its true purpose at this moment.

On the central and eastern fronts, the commanders of the United Kingdom of South Sotua successfully defeated a large number of angry individuals from other factions, thanks to the loud support of the Orcs and Dwarves saying "Yes!" and "Exactly!"

After the arguing and blaming, they returned to the normal process.

Although unhappy with the actions of these legions, since the war has started, after considering the pros and cons, everyone decided to send reinforcements.

Especially after the people from the United Kingdom of South Sotua provided the key information.

"Now, the demon race has weak defenses in the eastern and central lines, and the western line is completely unguarded—because our intelligence operations misled the demon race, their main forces are all gathered at the new western line. We can take this opportunity to reclaim Vera Plain."

After this statement, the nature of the United Kingdom of South Sotua’s actions changed.

What was once a reckless attack that seemed almost suicidal transformed into a certain victory for whoever could keep up and claim their share of the rewards!

All forces temporarily set aside their disputes with South Sotua and returned to mobilize their troops for the front lines.

Soon, they discovered that what the United Kingdom of South Sotua said was true.

The number of troops here had indeed decreased significantly—under the fierce attacks from multiple legions, the Holy Alliance finally experienced the thrill of facing the Demon Army while being the stronger side.

However, they soon realized that the battle was still somewhat deadlocked.

"We may have underestimated the quality of the Demon Army!"

"I didn’t expect to handle a surprise attack so well…"

"It’s as if they were already prepared…"

As more and more armies joined the Central Line and Western Front, some troops from South Sotua’s Central Line pulled out from the standoff and quickly marched to the foot of Dragonspine Mountain, where they met up with the South Sotua mercenaries and the Orc tribe forces that were already on standby. Together with the familiar dwarves, they began marching up Dragonspine Mountain!

After all, it is best if the Central Line and Eastern Line can achieve great results. A standoff is also an acceptable situation that we anticipated.

Anyway, the main goal this time is still to restart the Anti-Demon Great Wall on the Western Front and take back the Vera Plain!

At the same time, the team has grown stronger than before — due to political interests, the United Kingdom of South Sotua ultimately could not claim all the credit alone; Seychelles and the elves also contributed some troops.

However, the commander of South Sotua was surprised that the Church of Light, which always liked to get involved in everything, seemed to stop asking questions after receiving some special instructions, continuing to take it easy along with the Golden Peacock and Cloud City.

But now, there is no time for the commander of South Sotua to think too much.

Under the leadership of the dwarves, although they didn’t take any secret paths this time, their speed remained very fast.

By tomorrow at the earliest, we can reach the Demon Army’s controlled area on Dragonspine Mountain and fight against the Troll Legion stationed there!

Looking at the steep terrain of Dragonspine Mountain, the commander of South Sotua couldn’t help but laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

"Why did the general suddenly laugh?"

A nearby Dwarf King couldn’t help but ask.

"I’m laughing at the simple-minded demon race. With such a complex and steep terrain on Dragonspine Mountain, filled with huge rocks for cover, if we set up a few legions in advance, it would definitely cause great trouble for our march!"
