Capítulo 1536: Chapter 277: Deceit and Ambush!
The Ice Fairy, using the Cross Star Wings, deftly dodged all the shockwaves and furious attacks from the Sorrow Bell. With a flip, he had already flickered several kiloters away.
Yet, Ian’s voice still echoed in the Sorrow Bell’s ears: “I originally thought that this series of stealth attacks could take you, this general, down and thus annihilate the Demon Legion in one fell swoop. I didn’t expect you to be so keen. It seems we must et on the battlefield after all.”
[You]
At this mont, the Sorrow Bell was extrely shocked. He had just detected a slight disharmony behind him—sothing so minuscule it could be easily ignored. Instinctively, in his excessive tension, he launched a counterattack.
If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to repel the concealed Ian. Attacked by Ian in his Fairy Body form, and without using his ‘hidden cards,’ he might not die on the spot, but it would take him at least ten days to a half-month to recover.
By that ti, losing such a strong ally, the Demon Legion would probably have to retreat from South Ridge without even fighting a single battle!
But if he used his hidden cards, they might not achieve their strategic goals… and the result would still be equally bad.
[Think you can run? It’s not that simple!]
So at this mont, the Sorrow Bell struck again. In the thunderous hell surrounding him, golden-red lightning shot out directly toward Ian’s previous direction — but the fairy had vanished again.
Like demons, fairies also have the ability to enter and exit the Domain of Void at will. Ian can suppress the demons’ speed of entering and exiting the Domain with the Silver Sun, but he himself is not hindered by the Cursed Soil.
With the strike missing, the Golden Plains once again burst with light, and a mushroom cloud slowly rose amidst the roar.
But as the smoke cleared, nothing remained but a scorched earth.
Ian had already left, and the Armored Squad had moved far away.
Under the illumination of the light, the Sorrow Bell’s expression was unpredictable. It took him several deep breaths to suppress the violence and madness from his demonic power and calm down.
[…The intelligence aspect has been completely suppressed] he murmured, with a tone of caution: [It seems the original strategy is entirely useless; this South Ridge… is completely different from the Western Territory]
[What technology does this Silver Peak Earl possess?]
At this mont, the Armor Troop had completely retreated, and Ian had obtained the intelligence he wanted and left.
All that remained was a Demonic Army, whose lair had been assaulted.
[General, although the altar was destroyed, we have eradicated all the Knight Lords on the Golden Plains. With the resentnt from their flesh and blood, we can completely rebuild the altar]
After reporting the losses, the Fusion Demon officer reported to the Sorrow Bell: [South Ridge seems to be delaying our actions. Our enemy’s reinforcents may arrive soon!]
[It’s not a delay]
Now cald down, the Sorrow Bell looked south, his lava-like eyes deep: [They’re forcing us into a decisive battle]
[Whether it’s those seemingly inexhaustible self-destruct Armors or today’s elite Armored Squad, they all indicate that the Empire’s army in South Ridge has completely overwheld us in terms of intelligence — all our spies and scouts have been captured and executed by so network of that Silver Peak Earl]
[Now, only Rongying, who obtained a legal identity early within the Silverpeak Domain, barely exists and can provide us with so crucial information]
[Sohow, they seem to have full knowledge of our moves… Those drones and potentially wide-area surveillance caras can bypass our ‘life detection’ and gather intelligence on us]
Before becoming a Fusion Demon, the Sorrow Bell was an elite commander of the Fiery Fla Land. Amidst the continuous assaults, he also saw through Ian’s true purpose: [The more we delay, the more we sink into the quagmire, for the enemy will gather more intelligence on us]
[But we don’t need to care about what the enemy thinks; our strength surpasses theirs, allowing us to launch an attack and crush them directly]
[But still,] upon hearing this, the Fusion Demon officer was confused: [General, if they want to force us into a decisive battle, and we just go for it, isn’t that playing into their hands?]
The Sorrow Bell did not speak, simply staring coldly at this subordinate. The officer, realizing his mistake, imdiately shut his mouth.
After the Demon officer finished reporting and hurriedly left, the Sorrow Bell narrowed his eyes, looking southward: [South Ridge is probing our intelligence, and am I not probing South Ridge’s?]
[It seems the entire South Ridge’s power has been consolidated by this Silver Peak’s Lord, even the Nineteenth Legion is in his hands, ard with new weapons… But re-arming the entire army takes ti, so he is stalling, waiting for the complete transformation. Of course, there may be reinforcents, but with other Demon Legions still wreaking havoc in the Western Territory, South Ridge’s reinforcents, even if existent, are few and not a cause for concern]
[But if I rashly launch a decisive battle, I will fall into their trap… That Giant of Light is just one example; if unprepared, launching an assault will only result in being severely hit by their hidden cards]
The Demon General muttered to himself. He had made up his mind: [So… I also need to unveil a hidden card]
He vanished. The Sorrow Bell entered the Domain of Void.
In the Domain of Void, the Sorrow Bell looked toward the northwest of the void, where a space entirely blackened and eroded by the Cursed Soil lay.
Sensing the imnse power within that space-ti, the Demon General smiled: [The Demon Army is rely a preliminary experint for the Immortal Legion]
[The true power of the ‘Abyssal Kingdom’ is beyond what they could ever imagine!]
