In the days that followed, although the Whisperers or Polluters continued to attack the defenses frequently, the decrease in their numbers alerted Angelica and Lucifer.
At first, this seemed like a positive sign, but experience taught them that calm often foreshadows an impending storm.
Lucifer decided to personally venture into the front lines to uncover the truth behind this anomaly. He transformed into a shadowy figure, traversing the edge of the contaminated zone, carefully avoiding the lurking dangers by utilizing his profound understanding of the abyss.
During a deep reconnaissance mission, he discovered a chilling scene: in a vast underground cavern, a massive number of Whisperers and Infected were gathered together, far exceeding any previous encounter.
These creatures seem to share a strange understanding; they lurk in the shadows, as if waiting for a certain moment to arrive.
Even more unsettling, at the other end of the cave, the mist of the abyss was slowly spreading, like an invisible hand, gently covering these creatures, seemingly providing them with some kind of protection while also concealing their movements.
Lucifer immediately understood that the mist of the Abyss could not only seal the corrupting power of the whispers and the unspeakable things, but also conceal their whereabouts to some extent, allowing them to gather unnoticed.
With this weighty information in mind, Lucifer quickly returned to the defensive line and reported his findings to Angelica.
At the emergency operational meeting, Lucifer described in detail everything he had witnessed during his reconnaissance, and the atmosphere in the meeting room immediately became tense.
“It seems we don’t have much time left.” Lucifer reported the findings to Angelica in detail. “They are not decreasing, but gathering, preparing to launch an unprecedented large-scale offensive under the cover of the Dark Abyss Mist.”
Angelica frowned, her fingers tapping lightly on the table as she pondered a solution. "We can't just sit here and wait to be defeated; we must take the initiative."
She stated decisively, "We need to devise a plan to distract them while weakening their power."
“We also need to notify the other uninfected Abyss Lords,” Angelica added. “Although they usually have their own agendas, I believe they will be willing to unite and fight this crisis together in the face of such a threat.”
Of course, this number of polluters and whisperers was nothing to Lucifer and Angelica.
However, as the Lord of the Abyss, Angelica needs to reorganize the Abyss. After all, the Abyss has not had a Lord of the Abyss for a long time, and her appearance has, to some extent, hindered those lords.
The shelter she built had already aroused the dissatisfaction of many abyss lords; if it weren't for her great strength, the shelter would never have been built.
The appearance of the Whisperers and the Corruptors is a good opportunity to make those arrogant Abyss Lords realize that the Abyss is not safe either!
......
Angelica and Lucifer acted swiftly, their division of labor clear and efficient.
Angelica, by virtue of her status as the Lord of the Abyss, began issuing urgent summons to the lords of the various layers of the Abyss.
She did not choose to send a message, but went in person, because she knew that only face-to-face communication could make those proud lords truly feel the urgency.
Wherever she went, she would show evidence collected from the contaminated areas, talk about the threat posed by the Whisperers and the Infected, and the impending crisis.
Initially, some lords dismissed this as an exaggeration, but as Angelica presented her calm and powerful arguments, and as she displayed the majesty of the Lord of the Abyss, more and more lords began to take the issue seriously and agreed to join the fight against this threat.
Meanwhile, Lucifer led an elite squad, equipped with the latest technology, deep into the front lines to closely monitor the movements of the Whisperers and the Contaminated army.
Using stealth technology and remote monitoring equipment, they cleverly reported the other party's movements in real time without being detected.
Lucifer knew that even the slightest oversight could lead to the collapse of the defensive line, so he was extremely strict with every action to ensure that the defensive line could be held before the arrival of the lords.
As time went on, Angelica invited abyss lords from various levels to the front lines one after another.
When they saw with their own eyes the area shrouded in the mists of the Dark Abyss, and the enormous hordes of creatures that appeared and disappeared within the mists, even the most arrogant lords couldn't help but feel fear.
The army of Whisperers and Polluters has nearly doubled in number, and they wait silently, as if gathering strength to deliver a fatal blow to the abyss.
At this moment, all the lords realized the necessity of unprecedented unity.
They sat around in the makeshift wartime conference room, their faces still showing some reluctance, but their eyes revealing a shared determination.
"See this? This is our common enemy."
Angelica's voice broke the silence, sounding particularly heavy: "They not only threaten our territory, but are also the key to the survival of the Abyss."
We cannot fight this alone; only by uniting can we protect the abyss and preserve our own authority.
Faced with the irrefutable facts, the lords, who had initially harbored their own agendas, began to reassess the situation, their eyes gradually shifting from initial doubt to unwavering resolve.
......
The atmosphere inside the meeting room was heavy and solemn. Angelica looked around, her gaze falling on the face of each lord.
Her words were clear and firm: "Now, we must put aside our differences and discuss countermeasures together. I propose that, first, we need to build a stronger defensive line and set up traps and defensive magic around it to slow down the enemy's offensive."
A lord from the third level of the abyss responded with a cunning look: "Defenses are important, but we should take the initiative and disrupt their assembly plans. My abyssal beast horde can be the vanguard to tear apart their lines."
Upon hearing this, Lucifer chuckled and said, "Abyssal beasts? Heh, are you handing them a gift? Or did you not hear what we just said? The Whisperers and the Corruptors can easily assimilate your beasts."
"Heh, I don't know if the enemy will be fewer or fewer by then, but there will definitely be tens of thousands more beast-type corrupted beings."
Upon hearing this, the lord of the third level glared angrily at Lucifer and roared, "Boy, who are you? This is a discussion among us spirit plants; who are you to presume to discuss this with, you nobody?!"
