Time passes by little by little.
When night falls completely.
All members of the expedition team stood in the center of the square.
"Time is up."
Several magicians holding short staffs, led by Grisha, exchanged glances with each other.
They each took a step away, each guarding a corner, forming a circle around the expedition team.
Under the silent night sky.
Wow wow wow...
The sound of Ika turning pages of a book was heard.
The ground in the center of the square was quickly covered by shadows.
Grisha and the others also raised their wands towards the sky at the same time.
A stream of black mist-like light was released from the tip of the magic wand. After gathering in the air, it formed a black curtain that slowly fell towards everyone.
"Meow~."
A black cat emerged from the shadows flowing on the ground. It gathered around Arthur's feet and rubbed against him affectionately.
"Sfinger, come here~."
A pair of small hands grabbed it and held it up gently.
The black cat raised its head and saw the girl's familiar pair of purple eyes, then it relaxed its guard and let the girl hold it in her arms and caress it gently.
Then, the shadows engulfed everyone.
Huh~!
A light breeze blew across the square.
In the blink of an eye, the flowing shadows and the hundreds of people who were originally standing there disappeared without a trace.
... ...
"What did you say? Those humans split up their forces?"
"Yes, Lord Sharpe, the demons who just returned from reconnaissance reported that the human army was divided into seven groups and was advancing in different directions."
A demon knelt on one knee in the center of the hall and reported.
Sharp thought for a moment.
He looked up and shouted:
"Bring me the map."
"yes!"
Soon, two demons brought a large map into the hall and unfolded it in front of Shap.
"you--"
He pointed at the demon who was reporting.
"Mark out the direction those humans are heading."
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
With the demon's busy work, the routes of the seven coalition legions were soon marked on the map.
Sharp looked carefully at the seven routes on the map.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed disdainfully:
"Haha, I see. That's not so stupid~."
"It seems that they are well aware that they are no match for us in a head-on confrontation, so they are starting to use tricks."
"Sir, you mean..."
The demons in the hall looked at each other, and someone couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph, the human race's intention is very clear. They want to avoid our main force and go straight to the Demon King's Castle."
"As long as the Demon King is defeated and the gate is closed, they will win the war."
"If I'm not mistaken, among these seven armies, only one is the real main force. The others are just bait to confuse our sight."
"I see, you are indeed Lord Sharpe!"
"The humans are surprisingly cunning, but Lord Sharpe is still one step ahead and saw through their plan at a glance!"
"Lord Sharpe, how should we respond now? Should we divide our forces?"
"No need."
Sharp said calmly:
"They want to confuse us and divert our main force. I won't do what they want. We only need to send some upper-level demons to conduct test attacks on each unit. Then we can find out which unit is the main force."
"We have the main force advantage now. The foolish humans still dare to split up their forces. As long as we find out where their main force is, we can launch a direct attack and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"
"Your Excellency's wise opinion!"
"As expected of Lord Sharpe!"
"With Shap leading us, victory is already secured for us."
"Yeah yeah... ..."
There was a burst of flattery in the hall again.
Even though he knew that there was not much sincerity in what he said, Shap couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride on his face.
"Alright~, stop talking nonsense and go execute the order."
"yes!!!"
... ...
Himlier's Army, Fifth Army.
"Xyler..."
"You don't have to stay with me like this. You still have a lot of things to do, right?"
Laqi ordered the blonde fox-eared girl who had been staying in her room to leave.
"It's okay, Master Laqi~."
Xiweier replied with a smile, as if she didn't notice the other party's hint.
"I've already done what I need to do, and since it's not convenient for you to go out right now, it's most appropriate for me to take care of you here."
"well... ..."
Laqi sighed helplessly.
My thoughts go back to the eve of the division of the seven legions...
"Listen up, everyone—"
Irus said very seriously.
"The demons have many tricks up their sleeves. We don't know if they can infiltrate our troops to obtain intelligence. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, please avoid showing up in front of the army."
"Why do you do this?"
"Nothing, just an extra layer of insurance to confuse the other party."
"If the corresponding legion commanders have not appeared, the enemy might become suspicious and suspect that our seven legions are just a deception and that all the legion commanders have actually gathered together."
"If we can get the enemy to test this, we can buy more time."
Although it's to buy time...
But I didn't expect that staying in a house like this would be so boring. When I was practicing before, I had no problem sitting on the snowy mountains for several months.
