Chapter 165: I Knew That Group of Charlatans Couldn’t Be Trusted!

Hearing Achilles’s stubbornness, Doyle Candice wasn’t angry. She closed the book in her hands, looked at the Balrog, and smiled slightly.

“The Church of Light is indeed a clever and intelligent opponent, but their wisdom is still far behind Lord Lolth’s.”

She tapped the “Biography of Lady of Light” in her hands and looked at Achilles.

“When do you think Lord Lolth started investigating The Church of Light?”

“I don’t know, but didn’t Lord Lolth personally visit the New Western Front before?”

Despite her strange personality, stubborn temper, and stubborn ways, when it came to Lolth, Achilles’s tone still showed some respect.

Hearing Achilles’s words, Doyle sighed.

“You, my friend, are a classic ‘head like a pig, single-minded, and only thinking about fighting’ leader of the Demon King’s army,” Doyle said bluntly. “At this rate, you and those two foolish pigs from the Illusion Demon army will soon be sent back to the Abyss for some reflection.” She paused for a moment, then continued, “What a coincidence that Lord Lolth ran into The Church of Light’s army the moment she arrived at the New Western Front. She’d been planning for at least two months before that!”

After saying this, Doyle lifted the book in her hand.

“This is the book Lord Lolth bought from the Little Devil Guild a few months ago,” Doyle said, jumping off the chair and flying in front of Achilles. She poked the rosy tip of the Balrog girl’s nose with her finger. “I noticed when I went to the torture tower that she’s flipped through this book many times, and it’s pretty worn out. And if you were more observant when you visited the torture tower, you’d have realized that two years ago, Lord Lolth set up special interrogation rooms targeting The Church of Light and the Holy Lieto Empire in the first batch of rooms she created. She’s always seen this church as one of her biggest rivals!”

Achilles, feeling her nose being poked, was shocked by Doyle’s words.

“Lord Lolth is even more cunning than I imagined… She truly is the minister most valued by the Demon King.”

“Of course,” Doyle said, seeing that Achilles was completely convinced. With a flick of her wrist, the magic-binding rope that had bound the Balrog untied itself and returned to her hand. “You almost ruined Lord Lolth’s grand plan. Now, do you understand what you need to do?”

“I understand! I’ll assemble a patrol team immediately to get those brats moving and track down the scoundrel who dared to open a plane channel in our territory,” Achilles nodded, flashing her sharp, shark-like teeth. “Then we’ll roast them to a crisp— a perfect gift for Lord Lolth as a souvenir!”

After hearing this, Doyle immediately knocked Achilles on the head with the book titled “Biography of Lady of Light.”

“Bang!”

The thick, hardcover book with copper edges struck the Balrog Lord’s head, making a heavy sound like hitting solid wood.

“Idiot, stop joking around,” Doyle couldn’t help but scold. “What are you thinking? They want to capture the living. Lord Lolth prefers prisoners who can provide information, not charred corpses. Do you understand?”

“I got it, I got it,” Achilles, who had been tapped on the head, wasn’t angry. She just touched the spot and showed a bright smile, “Capture the living, let Lord Lolth torture them personally!”

“Lord Lolth is far too proud to use such lowly means of torture for questioning… Anyway, just remember, catching the living is what matters!”

As Doyle said this, she shook her head and flew outside.

After Doyle left, the Balrog army on Vera Plain began to move, quickly forming patrol teams.

Except for Zakavido’s ghost army, which was severely affected by the power of Holy Light, three of the four armies had already begun patrolling the Vera Plain from different directions.

Although the plain was vast, it quickly became a tightly woven net.

After all, this action was given the highest priority since it was ordered directly by the Demon King and intelligence was provided by Master Lolth. There could be no carelessness!

Even the usually carefree trolls made use of borrowed detection devices and telescopes from the Dragonspine Mountain dwarfs.

However, the size of the dwarf’s eyes cannot be compared to those trolls that stand at least three meters tall, some trolls are wearing binoculars… just like a new and interesting necklace.

But under such a close watch and serious patrol, these Demon Legion can be said to have not discovered anything unusual for the time being.

However… this is also to be expected.

Because the demon race did not anticipate… that the team from the Holy Alliance opening the plane channel would be so small, consisting of only Patricia and Dorothy.

Although this pair looks like one is a young girl and the other is a sickly person who could fall at any moment, in reality…

Neither of them is to be underestimated.

Not to mention Patricia, one of the three Great Sages of the Cloud City Wizard Association, whose strength is at least at the Legend Upper Level—Dorothy, with her initial Superlative Level strength and her status as the princess of the Golden Peacock Kingdom, is no simple character either.

Under the cover of night in Vera Plain, Dorothy and Patricia are currently sitting in a monster’s lair.

In a low cave beneath a hill, three formal-level and two elite-level small earth bears, more than half a human’s height, are sitting next to Dorothy and Patricia.

Two of them were honestly leaning against a small bonfire, cooking fresh fish they caught from a few rivers, while the other three were using hay to make a bed for the two people.

At this moment, to avoid being discovered by the demon race, Patricia completely contained her magical power, so these earth bears behaved well not because they were afraid of Patricia.

Even when faced with something legendary, they would choose to run away or lie still on the ground, absolutely not like now, obediently following the commands of the two people.

Watching the fluffy earth bears put away their sharp teeth and claws, clumsily busy with their tasks, Patricia herself was a bit surprised.

“You really have a talent for warlocks… Who taught you?”

“I learned by reading books myself,” Dorothy softly replied.

She clearly did not want to say more and changed the subject.

“I saw a demon dragon patrolling the sky outside just now… Didn’t the people from the Church of Light hold them back?”

“It seems like they didn’t hold them back completely… Who knows?” Patricia shrugged and said. “You’ll find out once you deal with them more; this group of charlatans is unreliable.”
