Chapter 71: Thank Goodness I Found It in Time, or Else I Would Have Guessed It Right!

Lolth came to Hillenbrand Town for a simple reason.

Because when she was planning to go back and slack off while having tea, she finally discovered the traces left by Qiong when they sneaked into the town yesterday!

"The magic essence residue of stealth-type skills…"

Lolth furrowed her brow.

One of the air-entry magic arrays was broken, and she had purposely woken up early this morning to fix it. Yet, someone still managed to sneak in so coincidentally?

Moreover, the opponent’s stealth skills were very skilled and cunning.

She almost didn’t notice these traces herself!

Following the residues of these magic essences all the way, she eventually arrived at the corner of the central square where Isabella and Qiong had met yesterday!

At the same time, she also sensed that some magical objects seemed to have been destroyed here!

And the destroyed magical objects also left behind new magic essence residue, extending all the way to the west side.

Lolth followed the trail and eventually arrived at the side of a tributary of the Larech River.

The residue of magic essence ended here.

In its place, Lolth could sense that there were some magical "fragments" in the river.

"Could it be that someone is poisoning the river, trying to kill all the fish?" Lolth muttered.

Lolth muttered to herself.

Of course, she also knew that this was impossible.

Would a member of the Holy Alliance, at least a highly skilled Sneaker, come all the way here just to throw harmful magical garbage into the river?

That Holy Alliance seems really idle!

But Lolth wasn’t quite sure what the other side was planning to do.

The only thing to do was to salvage all those "fragments" first.

Since those fragments were all magical, it was quite simple for Lolth to quickly locate and extract them all using a magical pulling spell.

And then…

To Lolth’s surprise, it turned out to be a pile of paper scraps.

"It looks like a letter… with waterproof and fireproof magic attached to the paper…"

These letter fragments just salvaged from the water showed no sign of being wet at all!

Nevertheless, it wouldn’t matter even if they were wet.

"Let’s put it back together again —"

Lolth said this and placed the fragments of the letter in the "air," and more than ten pieces of shredded paper all floated up one by one.

Then, Lolth’s index fingers intertwined, and a faint light appeared on the pieces of paper.

She wasn’t in the mood to play a jigsaw puzzle now, so she used magic to restore the letter to its original state.

It relied on the structure of the "magic enhancement" on the restoration.

Soon, a complete secret letter appeared in front of Lolth.

She took a quick look and understood right away…

This was the plan for the Holy Alliance’s counterattack mission one month later!

The recipient was Isabella, and the Holy Alliance hoped she could seize the opportunity to escape and cooperate from inside and outside!

After reading it, Lolth was very scared.

"I thought my big mouth had already caused enough trouble, how come someone really sent a letter to Isabella!"

It seems that Sneaker from yesterday was targeting Isabella.

However, the two of them didn’t coordinate well. The letter from the other party was protected by a very high level of magic to prevent damage, but Isabella didn’t realize that the letter was waterproof. She tore it up and threw it in the river, but it didn’t completely destroy the letter.

Of course, if it was just a coincidence, Lolth wouldn’t be so scared.

But the problem is…

She seemed to be really jinxed!

Not only did someone really send a letter to Isabella, but the contents of the letter also made Lolth very nervous.

Although she hadn’t started fabricating intelligence yet, Lolth already had a rough idea and framework in her mind.

She thought that since it was a "counterattack" action, it must mean that the credibility of the enemy’s main attack being on the western front is quite high.

So, she decided to make up some false information about the western front to mislead the Demon Army.

But she didn’t expect…

Her idea was surprisingly similar to the commanding officer of the Holy Alliance!

Those made-up stories based on common sense were completely in line with the plan described in this secret letter.

It’s not completely identical, but very close!

If she were to submit it according to her original plan…

The consequences would be unimaginable!

The Demon Army would not only achieve a great victory, but also capture a large number of prisoners!

And because I did a great job by extracting information through interrogation, the demon king will definitely pay more attention to me and send more prisoners.

Even if I make mistakes in the future, the demon king probably won’t lose trust in me!

It will definitely spiral into a vicious cycle.

Thinking about this, Lolth felt a shiver down her spine.

But fortunately… I found this secret letter!

It’s not too late to come up with a plan for fake information now!

Firstly, the battlefield will definitely be set at Vera Plain and the fallen western front.

However, the secret letter shows that the Holy Alliance plans to deploy troops from the central and eastern fronts, launching a coordinated attack from the front of the new western front and the south side of the eastern front, intersecting at the Loess Plateau on the new western front.

Collaborate with the remaining forces in the territory to defeat the demon race on the front line!

Lolth thought for a moment and decided to do the opposite.

Since the main attack direction is from the south and southeast…

Then she will pretend it is from the north!

The army from the east will directly attack Demon King Castle from the east, while the original western army and central army will take the opportunity to move through Dragonspine Mountain from the central line to reclaim the original western defense line.

The Anti-demon Great Wall and fortresses still exist, but the demon race has not utilized them effectively.

By reclaiming the western line, they will cut off the connection between Demon King Castle and the demon race on Vera Plain!

Hmm… it sounds very cunning and feasible indeed!

Moreover, most importantly, if the garrison troops from the eastern and central defense lines take the initiative to attack, according to Lolth’s knowledge, the army responsible for the counterattack by the Demon Army will definitely be the ones originally stationed in the eastern, central, and Demon King Castle areas.

They will not divert the few armies currently on Vera Plain to defend in the wrong direction, so there will be no gaps in defense.

At most, they might be caught off guard, and the defense line was pushed back a small part.

This kind of mistake was just right to make the Demon King aware of the limitations of the intelligence, without putting oneself in danger!

"Let’s just make it up as we go!"

After thinking through both sides in her mind, Lolth felt that the idea she had just come up with had no logical loopholes and was indeed feasible.

So she casually waved her hand, causing the magical energy on the letter to be completely destroyed, ensuring thorough destruction.

In this aspect, Lolth was much stronger than Isabella.

After all, destroying evidence was not part of a knight’s training.

But Lolth knew that this kind of thing absolutely could not be left behind – if anyone from the Demon Army saw it, her plan would be completely ruined!
