"That is, the demons have found a way other than diversion and suppression to overcome the forbidden area."
Hearing this, many people began to think.
Indeed, if that were the case, it would explain why an entire army of demons landed, and the leader was a king-level demon!
"If that's the case, the situation will be very bad for us..."
Laqi said solemnly.
"The heroes haven't grown up yet, and we don't have the power to rival the Heavenly King-level demons right now."
"Also, even if we join forces to deal with that Heavenly King-level demon, what if the Demon King can also leave the Demon Continent in advance?"
"Yeah yeah... ..."
“That’s too bad.”
Everyone in the conference room was growing increasingly uneasy.
Irus glanced at Hulim without leaving a trace.
The other party didn't say a word, and the expression on his face didn't change at all from beginning to end.
“… …”
"...By the way, Irus, you just said there were two explanations. What's the second one?"
Laqi asked.
"Um... ..."
Irus retracted her gaze, thought for a moment, and said:
"The second one is a very bad situation."
“… …”
The conference room fell silent for a moment.
After a while.
"... ...ha--???"
Voices of doubt and shock rang out one after another.
Isn't that a better situation?
But bad news and worse news??!
"Irus! Are you kidding me?!"
Facing Laqi's suspicious look, Irus shook her head slightly.
"I don't joke at a time like this."
"Because the second possibility is that the Demon King's army has no other method other than transferring the cost."
"Hmm? What does that mean?"
"The meaning is very simple—"
Ilus' lips moved slightly, and she slowly said something that made most people gasp.
"The Demon King's army simply used their massive population to forcefully build up this advance force."
Inside the conference room.
It was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.
Almost everyone was frozen in place like a statue.
What is...
Use a huge population base to force it out?
"Hey... Irus, you—"
"I'm serious."
Irus answered first.
The expression on her face was indeed very serious, not at all like her usual joking self.
Emerald green eyes slowly looked around at everyone in the conference room.
"If the second scenario is true..."
"Then unfortunately, we will face the most terrifying and vicious demon invasion in history. Their high-level combat power—"
"We are far outnumbered."
... ...
Outside the city.
The dwarven army is gathering.
As the commander of the army, Analond stood on the city wall and watched all this.
“I thought there was still time…”
He raised his head and looked at the gray sky.
"I didn't expect it to come so soon."
Although the eruption of Red Mist Volcano was suppressed.
However, the eruption in the early period still caused considerable impact, and the earthquake caused damage to many towns.
The toxic gases mixed with the volcanic ash have forced many residents in nearby areas to temporarily leave their homes and can only return after the ash fog dissipates.
But these are not the main impacts.
The monster army left behind by the remnants of Gross, plus the monsters that already existed in various places, all became restless because of the shock of the volcanic eruption.
They posed a great threat to the residents of the North.
The Dwarf Legion is currently the only force capable of dealing with these threats.
Unfortunately, they had to leave before the North was completely settled...
Click, click.
Footsteps sounded behind me.
"No need to act like that, Analond."
"Teacher?" Analond turned around and saw Vlamir walking towards him.
The other party walked straight to his side, looking straight at the army in front.
“The situation is much better than we expected.”
"Although this year's winter will be longer due in part to the volcanic ash, at least it will be temporary."
"Believe in the strength of the people of the North. Even without us, they won't be in big trouble. On the contrary, it's the front lines where the lives of countless people depend."
“… …”
"You're right."
"My real battlefield is not here."
"Yes, that's more like it. You're quick to recognize your current situation, and that hasn't changed at all."
"Your words don't cheer me up."
Analond touched the shield in his hand and sighed.
"It's precisely because I recognize the reality that I'm worried about whether we can win now..."
A king-level demon.
Because he had experienced the power of a hero at his peak, Analond could clearly understand how terrifying a being at the same level of power was.
And how big the gap is between me now and him.
"We have to try to know for sure. Since the front line has stabilized, it means the situation isn't as bad as we thought, and..."
