At that ti, they were newcors too, even went to the new industrial zone outside Thunder City and set up an "Invincible Group", taking on the job of a foreman.
From then on, the Demon King was active in Thunder City under the identity of "Prince Colin".
[Village Headmaster Wang] and [Professional Submarine Repair] exchanged glances, eventually prostrating themselves and sighed, "Impressive!"
It was truly impressive, even Saint Sis's heroes were awed!
This ti it's about subduing the enemy without fighting...
...
After Erin finished her mobilization, Campbell's army imdiately struck camp, marching in grand fashion towards Twilight City.
In stark contrast to the high morale of the "Northern Relief Army", the Green Forest Army camp outside Twilight City was shrouded in a deadly silent ominous cloud.
The siege had lasted for over a month, with the blood of fallen soldiers even staining the moat, yet the walls of Twilight City remained unyielding.
Not only that, the battles around Twilight City were a dire ss, and every other day one could hear bad news coming from afar.
Everyone was whispering about how far Campbell's army was from them, with gloomy voices discussing like it's their death date.
Noon.
Chaotic sounds broke into the high-level military eting of the Green Forest Army.
"Sir! Bad news!"
A scout, covered in blood, rolled and crawled into the central tent of the military camp.
His expression was terrified, and his voice changed entirely due to fear.
"Lord Sloan's army... there's been a mishap!"
The high-level officials of the Green Forest Army were startled upon hearing the news while discussing the next phase of the siege plans at the map.
Except for Selas, whose expression didn't change much, everyone else's expression was of disbelief.
Rees grabbed the scout's shoulder, looking calmly into his eyes.
"Take your ti, what exactly happened!"
The scout panted heavily, eyes filled with lingering terror, as if the pursuers were still biting at his heels relentlessly.
"We... We were ambushed in the southern forest of Sparrow Wood Territory! A mysterious army appeared out of nowhere and attacked us!"
Rees urgently asked.
"Brennan's people? Or Campbell's people?"
The scout continued with a desperate look.
"Neither... Leading them was a woman like a demon, her movents were fast, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly! I heard from the brothers who ran out ahead that she killed Lord Sloan and his trusted aide in an instant!"
Everyone gasped upon hearing this.
To kill Sloan in an instant, that person must at least be Diamond level!
But in this deserted wilderness, where could a Diamond-level powerhouse co from?!
Moreover—
The one who ambushed Sloan clearly wasn't her alone.
The scout swallowed, continuing to speak with a trembling voice.
"It's not just that demon-like woman, they have countless undead and monsters! We didn't even see where their main force was, how many there were, and they shot us dead with an arrow storm from the sky..."
This heavy news was like a thousand-pound boulder, crushing every senior officer's heart in the Green Forest Army.
Yet it was only the beginning.
Before they could digest the calamity before them, another disaster was soon approaching from the direction of Griffin Cliff Territory...
"Alchemist" Jean died in battle!
Cause of death unknown!
Three scouts were sent to Griffin Cliff Territory to gather intel, only the last one who set off survived and brought back the news from there.
The scout claid in terror, he saw a great fire descending from the sky, seemingly forbidden curse magic cast by a Great Sage!
Upon hearing this, Selas was montarily stunned, but it was only for an instant before his expression returned to normal.
It couldn't be the Great Sage, that person wouldn't get involved in these matters.
It must be sothing else...
The tent fell into silent.
All the generals wore expressions of disbelief.
Especially "Green Turban" Kelan.
He couldn't believe that the twelve leaders he was so proud of had already been mostly lost in just a few months!
While Kelan was still imrsed in the sorrow of losing his right-hand n, "Longbowman" Rees was the first to react.
He walked to the sand table in the tent, looking at the flags representing various forces, his expression becoming increasingly grim.
To the south were Campbell Duchy's troops, Erin Campbell, under the support of dwarves, was advancing step by step towards Twilight City, it's hard to say how long Rolandar could hold on.
As for the north, the "Salvation Army" led by traitor Brennan was similarly closing in, having already captured Griffin Cliff Territory and the northwest gate of Twilight City.
These two forces were like tal pliers, clamping down hard on the Green Forest Army's most fragile molars, if not careful, they could find themselves in a completely losing position!
Especially chilling, Rees suddenly realized that these people had not yet revealed all their opponent's cards.
They were battling Campbell's people, fighting Salvation Army, clashing with the Kingdom's regular army, struggling with the mysterious force in the forest... yet it was like fighting against the sa person.
The forces besieging them seed independent but also as if there's an invisible hand manipulating everything from behind.
Who could it be?
Saint Sis?
Or perhaps... Demon God?!
But why!
Rees couldn't figure it out no matter what.
However, compared to figuring out who the mastermind is, clearly there are more pressing matters at hand right now.
