Chapter 5: Nothing Is More Important Than Having a Meal

Due to the consistent combat style of the Demon Army, this group of demons only cared about two things before going into battle:

First, how many people were on the other side?

Second, what was the strength of the people on the other side?

Other than that, they didn’t care at all.

So, when Lolth was about to casually fill something out, she discovered a very important problem…

The parchment map of the western front line was a bit hard to understand.

Even though the artistry was pretty good, Lolth, who had never been to the front lines, could still see many problems at a glance.

The terrain near the defense line was drawn randomly!

As a master of slacking off, Lolth occasionally read travelogues about the customs and cultures of this world that were seized by the Demon Army – those things were always stored in the loot room, with nobody else showing any interest except her.

After all, as a time traveler, she was still very interested in seeing the sights of other worlds.

Besides, the minstrels’ writing skills were quite good.

Although the travelogues and books may not directly record it, through their descriptions, Lolth could still make basic judgments about what kind of terrain certain places had.

“There are no mountains here, this is a plain…”

“The direction of this river is completely wrong, unbelievable!”

“Hey, why isn’t this large forest area even drawn here!”

Even though Lolth was known for being a slacker, her motto had always been to do as little work as possible.

But this map was just too ridiculous, seriously interfering with her fabrications.

So, Lolth decided to redraw one herself.

She spread out a piece of parchment, dipped a feather pen in ink, and began drawing the map from scratch.

Despite knowing that the map she was drawing might not be very accurate, it was still better than the high-precision maps the demon generals had given her.

Anything was better than a map with the terrain marked completely wrong!

Soon, in about ten minutes, Lolth had finished drawing a beautifully crafted map.

“Done! Now let’s start fabricating some intelligence!”

Saying that she began observing the terrain of the western part of the “Holy Alliance defense line.”

The defensive line wound like a snake, with Dragonspine Mountain and Moon Rising Mountains serving as natural barriers where elves, dwarves, and other tribes lived. Between these two mountains lay a plain, protected by the “Anti-demon Great Wall” and three allied fortresses. Beyond the plain flowed the well-known “Larech River,” which led south to the Ryman Empire, where the Church of Light and the empire could send reinforcements by water at any time.

The western front was where the fighting was fiercest, having already seen four major battles. The Demon Army had established two fortresses in the west and was led by two Devil Overlords.

The chaotic and relentless warfare had led to Princess Tina, a Moon Elf Princess, being captured.

In more stable times—without demons breaching fortresses or cities, and with the frontline in a stalemate—a highly respected princess like Tina would never have fallen into enemy hands.

The Demon King’s intention in interrogating the princess was to bring an end to the chaos on the western front.

Next, the entire Demon Army planned to launch a full-scale attack on the western defense line of the Holy Alliance.

Lolth had learned from reports that the Demon Army intended to directly attack the three fortresses and the middle section of the Anti-demon Great Wall. Her intelligence work now focused on gathering details about the wall and the fortresses.

Pondering the alignment of the fortresses, Lolth began drafting her plans.

“The White Moon Fortress sounds like an elven name, situated closest to the Moon Rising Mountains… I’ll say the main troops consist of archers and mages, with one legendary and two epic warriors leading them….”

“The Molten Iron Fortress? That’s pure dwarf style, but the dwarf tribe kings are not unified. If I say there’s a legendary warrior, it won’t sound believable… Let’s just claim there’s a secret weapon here, as dwarves are fond of Divine Artifacts.”

“The Central Fortress? What a strange name… Well, the middle fortress must be the strongest since it’s near the hub of the Anti-demon Great Wall. I’ll say a Sage is leading it, as that sounds credible.”

“The defensive layout of the Anti-demon Great Wall… Well, do we even need detailed intel for this? Let’s say there’s a lookout post every fifty meters, along with three barracks staggered to align with the three fortresses.!”

“Oh, right, beneath the Dragonspine Mountain, there’s a large abandoned mine. I’ll mark it as a potential ambush site to make it seem more convincing!”

After some writing and drawing, the map instantly looked much richer.

The positioning of forces, power distribution, and strategic deployment—everything was there, complete with plausible troop numbers and types.

Well, the Demon Army didn’t have a habit of cross-checking intelligence anyway!

Lolth clapped her hands in satisfaction.

“Alright, knew making up things would be so simple, wouldn’t have wasted time arguing with that elven girl!”

After redrawing the map, Lolth clapped her hands, put down her pen, and stood up.

“It’s time for lunch, let’s go eat!”
