On the southernmost tip of the continent, the remaining troops of the old tribe had gathered here. Previously, they had listened to Li Huailin's commands and retreated while fighting the adventurers. Of course, they had been retreating to the south since the north was filled with the enemies. But the south was the sea, so they could only retreat to the end of the peninsula.
At this moment, the adventurers stopped their pursuit and both sides temporarily stopped fighting. Of course, there was no doubt that the other party had given up the pursuit. This Promenade Peninsula was originally a place with a dangerous terrain. The main battlefield of the previous God and Demon War was also here. The two sides had fought for so long because of this terrain, so it was very reasonable for the other party to give up the pursuit in this situation. Moreover, they had fought and retreated at the same time, killing a lot of the adventurers. The other party probably needed some time to recover. No one thought that this place was originally arranged by Li Huailin.
Of course, Li Huailin easily found the old tribe and discovered that Celston had actually returned to the troops. Upon seeing Li Huailin's return, Celston hurried over and asked, "What happened? What happened to Dalrocos?"
Judging from Celston's expression, Li Huailin guessed the situation. Celston must have just returned and probably arrived a short while before Li Huailin. Otherwise, he would have gone to look for Dalrocos. Celston should also know that Dalrocos was dead. Perhaps it was because the four kings had some special contact with each other.
Of course, Li Huailin was delighted to see this situation. Since Celston knew about it, Wiltic and Madot would definitely be aware of it as well. Perhaps, they were rushing back. Wasn't this the effect that he wanted?
Of course, Li Huailin had to continue acting, so he thought for a moment and said to Celston, "It's a pity that I couldn't save Dalrocos. His other Evil Demons were sacrificed and the reinforcements were all sacrificed. Even I died once."
"What?" Celston was astonished. He simply couldn't believe this news. Yes, he did sense that Dalrocos was in danger, and he also felt that something might have really happened to him. However, hearing Li Huailin admit it, he still couldn't accept it. Dalrocos was one of the Four Great Evil Demons. How could he be taken by some adventurers … This was impossible.
"These adventurers are not simple." Li Huailin, of course, saw through Celston's doubts and continued to bluff. "Their troops are very elite, and they even used stratagems. Furthermore … I discovered that they also possess mystical powers."
"Magical power?" Celstone was confused.
"Yeah, I don't know what kind of power it is, but it's very strong. Oh right, you guys met it too, right?" Li Huailin said as he pointed to a few injured people at the side. Yes, they were the troops of the Old Tribe called the Tranthro Tribe that had been beaten back by the Celestial Alliance. Of course, they had also escaped here.
After hearing Li Huailin's words, they naturally cooperated with him to prove that they were almost wiped out. They were only able to escape because they were lucky. The other party was too strong, and they couldn't beat them at all.
With the testimony of this group of Tranthro tribesmen, Li Huailin's words naturally made sense. It was obvious that this group of elite adventurers could beat the Old Tribe's troops, and they could even beat them until they fled. Therefore, it was understandable that they could kill Dalrocos. Of course, they still didn't know what kind of power the other party possessed, but that wasn't very important.
"Was Dalrocos killed by them?" Celston asked again. He didn't know if he believed it or if he didn't dare to believe it.
"Yes, by the time I arrived, it was already too late." Li Huailin continued to spout nonsense. "I had already ordered him to retreat, but Dalrocos didn't listen to my command at all and insisted on fighting the other party. I knew that the other party definitely had a trap."
In this regard, the other Old Tribe members could also testify for Li Huailin. Li Huailin had indeed ordered Dalrocos to retreat, and the other party really didn't listen to his command. Speaking up to this point, Celston felt a little guilty. If he hadn't been too confident and left directly, he would have been able to make Dalrocos listen to his command, and this situation wouldn't have happened.
"It's also my fault." Li Huailin took the initiative to admit his mistake. "If I hadn't misanalyzed the other party's strength, Dalrocos wouldn't have …"
"No, I also underestimated the other party." Hearing Li Huailin's words, Celston also took the blame. "Damn it, these adventurers actually …"
"Yes, I also didn't think that these adventurers could actually wield such powerful strength. I did ask around for this information. Do you know about the war with the Undead a hundred years ago? "Li Huailin asked.
"I've heard of it, but I didn't participate at that time." Celston nodded.
"At that time, the Undead Emperor also used a power that could threaten the Divine Race. After that, the Divine Race used the same power to suppress the other party," Li Huailin said.
"You're talking about … the Divine Sword?" Celston had obviously heard about the Divine Sword.
"Yes, I suspect that the other party has a Divine Sword wielder in their camp, so they …"
"Yes, that's right." Celston seemed to have suddenly understood something and shouted, "So that's how it is. No wonder they dared to challenge us …"
"It seems like we've encountered a crisis." Li Huailin said, "Although I don't know what the other party's goal is, their goal should be to eliminate us …"
"What should we do?" Celston asked.
"Of course, we must first gather our forces. With the current situation, we need to be serious," Li Huailin said. "We must find Eopham. I know where she is. What about Willantis and Madort's men? "
"They should have received the news and are rushing back now," Celston said. "Willantis should be able to return soon, but Madort will probably need a day. After all, he left yesterday, and we don't know where he went. He should be back tomorrow at the earliest. "
"Tomorrow." Li Huailin nodded. "The two of them should be back."
"They will definitely rush back as soon as possible." Celston nodded.
"Alright then. In that case, we'll set the time for our counterattack to be tomorrow, after everyone returns." Li Huailin said, "For now, don't attack carelessly. The other party isn't ordinary. Before we gather all our forces, don't act recklessly. Understand?"
Of course, all the Old Clan members agreed with Li Huailin's plan. They really thought that the other party was very strong, so they didn't dare to send themselves to their deaths.
"Of course, the other party might also send out a scouting force. When that time comes, we can't be afraid. Otherwise, the other party might see through our flaws. If it's a scouting force, we will defeat them, but don't pursue them. We won't take the initiative to attack either. Wait until our people are all here, "Li Huailin added after some thought. He was worried that the other guilds would make a move, but they wouldn't be able to beat the Old Clan's troops. Li Huailin was now telling the Old Clan that they couldn't beat them and that it was all because of the 'scouts'.
It was obvious that the Old Clan members had been fooled by Li Huailin and believed everything he said.
"I'll go look for Eofam." Li Huailin said to Celston. "When Madort returns tomorrow, tell them not to wander around. Wait until I bring Eofam back, then we'll launch our counterattack."
"Okay." Of course, Celston didn't find anything wrong with Li Huailin's words. He still trusted Li Huailin and didn't think that Li Huailin was the murderer of Dalrocos.
After fooling the Old Clan members, Li Huailin didn't look for Eofam. He left his position slightly and went offline. Of course, he didn't intend to tell Eofam about this matter. When Madort returned tomorrow, he would deal with this matter. There was no need to drag Eofam into it. It would be better to let her help him research that mysterious unknown item.
Li Huailin went offline because he had something to do. That's right, it was already night time. Liu Heyun had told him about the time he would return, and Liu Heyun should have returned to the moon base by now. Therefore, according to the agreement, he would send the information to Li Huailin after he returned. Li Huailin also went offline to take note. If the four countries continued to obstruct her, she would have to be busy for a while.
However, it was obvious that the other party didn't want to confront him directly. As soon as Li Huailin went offline, he received Liu Heyun's call. Of course, there was signal on the moon base now, but there was a 1.3 second delay. The call was slightly affected, but it didn't matter much. As for what those guys said about not being able to contact him, it was complete nonsense.
"Have you arrived?" Li Huailin asked Liu Heyun directly.
"What did you do?" Liu Heyun asked excitedly.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was taken aback. He didn't understand what Liu Heyun meant.
"Did you trigger something in the game just now? A new code appeared on my side, and it was exactly at the same time as when you triggered it, "Liu Heyun said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was shocked.
