Chapter 398 (1/2)
”Don't bet on it” Agatha shook her head, ”Based on e experienced during the second Battle of the Divine Will, if they wanted to investigate a human town, they wouldn't act this carelessly”
”What does that mean?” asked Prince Roland
”To make sure information makes it back to Red Mist tower, this type of reconnaissance would be conducted by two or even three platoons Quite often the soldiers rode demonic beasts and acted as a unit, under the protection of Spear-wielding Deative platoons, the Union would often send out flying witches to block their rear and they would send out twice as many Blessed Warriors as there were deative platoons just kept growing in nu Demons joined the recon It would be odd for theate Not to mention they were unprotected and really poorly equipped”
”Maybe they don't think it is necessary to send large platoons to investigate Border Town and that only two ordinary deested
”That doesn'tAshes' theory ”During the time of the Union, every town near the border, no matter how small it ould be protected by witches Since the dees that have happened in the human world over the past 400 years, they would have been ated like they had done previously”
”So you think they were not here deliberately but found the town by accident?” Roland couldn't help but relax at the thought
”Very likely” she frowned and see ”The demons probably had no idea the toas even here, but it'stheir ca more than a few demonic beasts That would explain why they only carried Stones of Lightning for protection, instead of Stones of Unifying Strength which manifest spears that can not be used continuously”
”Wait ” Roland was startled, ”You think there are demon camps near by?”
”Of course What other reason would cause theatha stated siholds on the Fertile Plains and froot it is now called the Four Kingdo problem! If the enemies establish themselves under my nose, hoill the town survive?' The prince worried to himself He then asked aloud, eyebrows raised, ”Are they like the camps behind the snow-cappedthe war, there were several storage towers to store the Red Mist at each outpost Each toas guarded by 100 to 200 de the bloody Moon hasn't arrived yet it is not likely that they have built a neering Stronghold on the Fertile Plains Since it isn't easy to transport Red Mist the ca to do?” Tilly asked, looking at Roland with concern
”First, we find the camp—see if it really exists,” he paused and said, ”then ipe it out”
”A decisive choice,” said Ashes, s ”That's indeed a lord's decision, and don't worry, we'll help too”
'If Agatha is right, before the third Battle of the Divine Will officially starts, demons are unable to spread their influences to the whole Fertile Plains Given that, once the caion is eli which demons won't have the ability to strike back even if they wanted to
However, this plan could be risky due to the fact it would inform the demons that there are humans who live to the east of the Misty Forest and reveal that they have the ability to take the initiative and attack the demons
If I leave the caer trouble First, they'll probably send out more demons here after they realize those two Scout De, and after that, it is just a matter of tier camp, the demons will just increase in number and attack the tohenever they desire Even after the Months of Deerous How can I expect the First Ar plan of attack if they are trapped in the town, busy constantly fighting demons?'
When Roland returned to his office, he iave them a task,
”Please remember that you are never to act without authorization Once you find the cae the de beasts on hand Your first priority is to keep yourselves safe”
”Yes!”
”Coo!”
