The Plain of Corpses was vast. Before being taken over by the demons, it had been the largest border region of the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. After the demons’ invasion, the Kingdom had launched multiple battles and only regained a tiny portion of the territory.

The Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had suffered heavy losses in all those battles. Regardless of how many soldiers they sent, they could not make even the slightest dent in the demons’ hold. During the wars, the demons came and went at will, and were completely impossible to track. The Kingdom had put in huge amounts of resources all those years just to locate the demons’ nests, but to no avail.

Zhan Fei had initially a.s.signed the Blaze Army to search for the demons’ lair purely as an excuse to sow discord between them and the Wolf Smoke Regiment. In reality, he was well aware that being able to locate the demons’ nests within such a short span of time was impossible.

Ji Fengyan could not find anything even if she had half a year, not to mention just half a month.

Moreover, apart from that trip to Ping City, Ji Fengyan had not stepped out of the camp these past 15 days. Zhan Fei was sure Ji Fengyan could not extricate herself this time!

And this was exactly what he wanted.

Ji Fengyan had voluntarily issued the military pledge. Even if His Majesty investigated the matter hereafter, there would not be anything remiss.

Ji Fengyan watched Zhan Fei’s victorious reaction with a smile. She didn’t answer his question but asked, “Does Lord Zhan know how many demons are in the Plain of Corpses?”

Zhan Fei was astounded. He felt that Ji Fengyan was just stalling for time, but… he didn’t mind watching her struggle for just a while longer.

“There is a huge number of demons in the Plain of Corpses—so many that n.o.body really knows the true figure. At least… around 100,000.”

Ji Fengyan chuckled.

“Lord Zhan is wrong.”

Zhan Fei narrowed his eyes.

Ji Fengyan cast a sweeping glance across the three generals before focusing her gaze on Zhan Fei.
