Chapter 147: A Traitor Among Us!

In the peaceful and quiet Hillenbrand Town, where the construction was going smoothly, seven legendary warriors on Dragonspine Mountain had taken a break from their fierce battle.

But a winner was not yet decided.

The Holy Alliance, with the help of a Divine Artifact and a Legend Level warrior present, gradually gained the upper hand even while outnumbered four to three and ambushed in enemy territory.

Finally, the several Abyssal Sovereigns from the Demon Army, struggling to hold their ground, seemed to receive a request for retreat and left the battlefield.

Nevertheless, the Demon Army’s Fourth and Ninth Legions managed to delay for a long time on Dragonspine Mountain, exhausting much of the physical and magical strength of several legendary warriors from the Holy Alliance.

After emerging from the shadow realm, the commander of South Sotua looked at the orderly retreating demon race, feeling a bit lost.

"What should we do now?"

However, in terms of strategy and tactics, the dwarves and orcs were clearly not as skilled as the human legend who came from a large mercenary group, so everyone looked toward their commander.

After some thought, the legendary commander of South Sotua reached a conclusion.

"Continue towards the West Line Anti-Demon Great Wall!"

"Right now, the legions in the West Line are still at Vera Plain; even though they have delayed for so long, they cannot reach the Anti-Demon Great Wall immediately…"

"The retreating direction of the Demon Legion from the Middle Line is also the Middle Line."

"This means that there are still no defending troops in the current Anti-Demon Great Wall—this is a critical moment!"

"As long as we can restart the Anti-Demon Great Wall faster than the Western legions, there is still hope, and we have not failed."

"All troops, march quickly—there are no demon races ahead, and we are just a short distance from the easternmost part of the Anti-Demon Great Wall and Molten Iron Fortress!"

Saying this, he encouraged everyone.

Seeing the supreme commander’s confidence, the officers and soldiers of each legion reignited their fighting spirit.

Yes, it was just a temporary obstacle; everything has not failed yet!

The army did not suffer much loss, and not much time was wasted. So far, they have not experienced any serious setbacks, except for a slight drop in morale.

"Keep charging!"

With the roar of the Orc Chief rallying the troops, the legion moved forward again towards the western front.

And on Dragonspine Mountain, they indeed did not encounter any more ambushes.

The caves and settlements where the Dwarf tribe once lived seemed to have migrated to an unknown place.

There were no demon race and no dwarf captives—this made several Dwarf Kings and generals secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It is actually best not to see any dwarves now.

The mountain outposts set up by the Holy Alliance, which corresponded with the Anti-demon Great Wall on the western front, were all abandoned, further boosting the confidence of the Holy Alliance’s troops.

"Indeed, there were no demon race blocking us!"

"Moreover, they really did not use these watchtowers, so it seems the Anti-demon Great Wall is indeed abandoned…"

"Great! Does that mean we are finally going to succeed!"

The shadows of the recent ambush vanished, and it was precisely because of the ambush that the current members of the Holy Alliance felt even more joyful.

After all, during the recent ambush, they had personally driven back the demon race’s surprise attack.

The South Sotua commander, who had been too afraid to speak in case of another sudden change, finally smiled with relief upon seeing the thick, towering walls of the Anti-demon Great Wall and the completely empty watchtowers and camps.

"Hahaha! Sure enough, although the demon race is cunning and treacherous, their strategies are limited, and so are their forces—right now, we are all hurriedly moving through the mountains, and after just experiencing an ambush, if there were another surprise attack here, as long as there is one fully-formed legion… I’m afraid we would be defeated!"

While he was laughing and directing the whole army to settle in the original camp of the Anti-demon Great Wall, preparing to assign mages and warlocks to restart the various magic circles, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

"Buzz…"

A deep, yet piercing long sound echoed in the sky.

It was as if someone was blowing a great horn high in the clouds, and like a mountain of insects buzzing their wings.

The once bright sky suddenly turned dark and gloomy, with heavy gray clouds spreading from the north, faintly glowing red.

Then, dark purple magic symbols appeared in the air without any medium, creating an invisible field that made everyone feel a sudden unease.

All the spellcasters sensed a serious chaos in the surrounding magic, making their own casting much more difficult.

The Fighters were not doing much better; the extraordinary power within them stirred, and many Orc Berserkers began to gag and their skin turned red, almost losing control and entering a frenzy.

In the sky, figures wrapped in purple robes appeared, floating and supporting the operation of the magic circle.

"Abyss Warlock… but how can there be so many?"

Just one glimpse, the commander of South Sotua confirmed that this was a brand-new legion!

The Demon Army still had enough forces to lie in ambush here—rather, it seemed that the Demon Army had been hiding at least a whole well-equipped legion for the past two years!

Within the Anti-demon Great Wall, there appeared demon creatures, their bodies swirling with dark power, driving away the faster and bloodthirsty magical beasts under the chaos of this magical domain, launching an attack on the Holy Alliance.

"Damn it… Another ambush!"

"But there is only one legion, let’s scatter them! Take the Anti-demon Great Wall!"

The commander of South Sotua shouted hoarsely, but just as he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed a huge wave of magical power coming from behind.

Several powerful abyssal presences appeared again, and when he looked back, he saw the Illusionary Mage, Shadow Fiend, and troll standing on Dragonspine Mountain.

The fourth and ninth legions of the Demon Army had actually returned!

"We walked into a trap!"

The commander of South Sotua turned pale.

From beginning to end, everything was within the expectations of the Abyssal Demon!

Now, the plan cannot succeed anymore. We can only fight with all our strength and see if we can carve out a path.

There is definitely a traitor within the Holy Alliance…

No, since all of this was not shared with other forces, the traitor’s scope has narrowed down to the inside of the United Kingdom of South Sotua!

"We must survive and inform His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister about the traitor among us!"

He thought this and gritted his teeth.

"Brothers, let’s fight… There is no way to retreat now!"
