Chapter 373 (2/2)

”From the moment when the search team was killed and the sentry tower was destroyed, his highness connord noticed that the invasion was approaching, and probably beyond our imagination - but the problem was that he didn't have enough evidence to prove this, and he didn't know what happened in the blood skeleton valley.”

Lucian was stunned.

”What's more, even if we go back now, it won't help - first, no one will believe the three of us; second, if we really say so, telling them that an army of demons is moving east will probably have the opposite effect!”

The grey pupil boy frowned slightly, obviously understood.

Even if they really believe their words, I'm afraid most people will think that the goal of this demon army is not the Empire, but somewhere else. The final result is absolutely unimaginable

One side of Loren gave him a meaningful look, and a trace of worry flashed through his pupils.

Now it seems that the prince of sakran may have expected that this invasion is likely to be different from any previous one, so he asked Brandon to go north to find clues.

More importantly, if Brandon dies in the north, since there is no demon invasion, Connaught also has a good reason to ”revenge” and gather the strength of the whole Saxophone Empire to launch a massive ”expedition”.

If Brandon is hard enough and finds the clue, Prince saklan, as the commander of the fortress on the broken boundary mountain, can also have enough reason to concentrate the power of the whole empire in his hands.

In other words, no matter what the outcome, it is an absolutely favorable outcome for Connor de sallion - whether Brandon and even the whole team going north can come back alive or not, it doesn't matter to him from the beginning.

Since there is nothing to gain, there is no loss to him. This is a ”business” that can make a steady profit without losing!

”Wait, if that's true... It doesn't make sense!”

Isaac frowned and suddenly ”interrupted” and said, ”I've seen the records of the wizard tower. From the first generation of the Empire to now, there have been nine demon invasions - of course, this should be the tenth time.”

”All the nine invasions, without exception, took place near Xuegu Valley and duanjie mountain, and all before the beginning of severe winter - if it were the same as before, these large-scale popsicles would have gone to attack the fortress of duanjie mountain!”

”What do you mean?” the grey pupil boy reflected alertly.

”Isaac means that this' invasion 'is different from any previous one - if the demons in the north have really completed the assembly, they should have invaded the fortress of duanjie mountain before the severe winter!” Loren continued:

”As a result, in addition to winning more preparation time for duanjieshan fortress and making the fortress more difficult to bite, it is impossible to have any advantage over them!”

Feeling the bitter cold of the north wind, the dignified black haired wizard slightly clenched his palm.

Yes, if their goal is really duanjieshan fortress, they and Brandon don't have to do anything at all, because the demons who haven't marched to the South can't easily capture the fortress.

But what if their goal is not duanjieshan fortress?

What if an evil god Apostle who assembled this army of demons from the beginning actually had another intention?

”Lucian, I have a question.”

”Please say.” aware of the dignified expression of the black haired wizard, the grey pupil boy didn't dare to neglect.

”I need you to judge.” Loren slowly raised his right hand and pointed to the end of the disappearance of the demons: ”according to the 'march route' of those rotten demons, where is their most likely destination?”

”The most likely... Destination?” Lucian was stunned and lost in thought; The next second, the silver gray pupil was shrinking in fear:

”Ned... Hogg --?!”
