The Demons couldn't handle the news that came in the past few days. The ups and downs were just too fast. They were still preparing to celebrate their victory, but they didn't expect to receive a piece of shocking news immediately. The undead had actually crossed the Haigalo River unknowingly, and it took them an entire afternoon. This really made the demons completely unable to imagine what was going on.
"Are you sure the Undead have crossed the river?" Bayzera couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Your Highness. The scouts have just sent back news that the Undead have successfully crossed the Hailgaro River and are now camping on the north bank," a soldier immediately replied.
As planned, the Undead didn't hide their whereabouts at all. Instead, they deliberately made it very obvious, which allowed the Demon Race's scouts to easily discover their whereabouts. Although they symbolically dispatched some anti-reconnaissance troops to block the news, it was only for show. The news of the Undead's successful crossing of the river spread very smoothly.
"How did they do it?" Bayzera couldn't figure it out for a long time. He thought that they had achieved a stage victory and successfully blocked the Undead troops on the south bank of the Hailgaro River. He didn't expect the Undead to arrive so quickly, and with a large number of troops. According to the intelligence, there were at least 30,000 of them.
"Your Highness, it doesn't matter how they did it. What's important is what we should do now that they are here," Prime Minister Zoro said with a frown.
"I thought the Undead would choose to retreat after suffering a huge loss this time. I didn't expect their reinforcements to arrive in time, and they actually chose to cross the Hailgaro River with only 30,000 troops. It seems like they won't stop until the Demons are completely wiped out," Bayzera said angrily. Baizera said angrily, "Despicable Undead. I thought they were allies, but they're just a bunch of ingrates."
"The Undead have decided to continue attacking us. If we hear that the Undead have already crossed the Hailgaro River, the stalled human troops should take the initiative to continue attacking," Zoro said. Sauron said, "Although we destroyed more than 30,000 Undead troops, our current situation is still very dangerous."
After thinking for a while, Sauron continued to analyze, "Originally, the enemy's troops on both sides added up to 100,000 people. We also have 100,000 people, and we're also defending the city, so we shouldn't be much of a threat. But now, there's a variable, and that is the divine sword in the hands of the Undead leader …"
"Indeed, the power of this divine sword is too great. Damn it, the humans are really short-sighted. Why can't they see that after the Demons perish, they will be next? They are simply helping the evildoers!" Bezerra roared. "The most despicable thing is that they attacked Marshal Gordon's troops and held a captive offering ceremony. This is a blatant humiliation to us Demons!"
"The war is still not in our favor. We need to think of a way to deal with it," Zoro said.
"Prime Minister, do you have any ideas?" Bezera asked.
"Now …" Sauron thought for a moment. "I haven't thought of a way yet. The leader of the Undead has a divine sword, which is too big a threat to us."
"None of you have any ideas?" Bezera looked at the remaining ministers and said, "Now that the Demons are in danger, none of you are saying anything. Are you just going to watch the Demons be destroyed?"
"Reporting! Urgent military news! "Just as they were speaking, a soldier's report suddenly came from the beautiful button.
They had seen this kind of voice many times in the past few days. Now that the Demons were in an all-out war, any news was directly reported to the palace. The reporting soldiers had been busy these few days.
"Speak! Is there any bad news? "Bezera said angrily.
"Reporting, Your Highness. We just received news from the Undead City. The Undead have announced that they will hold a coronation ceremony in three days. The new Emperor Wotcha is preparing to ascend the throne," the soldier reported.
"Emperor Wotcha?" Bezera was stunned. "Who is that?"
"It's probably the name of the current mysterious leader of the Undead," Sauron's eyes lit up.
"Is that guy's name Wotcha?" It was Bezera's first time hearing this name. Finally, he didn't have to refer to this guy as the mysterious man in black anymore. However, after thinking about it, Bezera became a little angry. "The Undead are actually choosing to hold a coronation ceremony at this time?"
Bezera felt that he was being looked down upon. What's with this guy? If you conquered the Demons' city and then held a coronation ceremony, it would be fine. But now, the war hasn't even ended yet, and you're already ascending the throne? Are you sure that you can conquer us? You're not taking us seriously at all.
"Messenger, tell us in detail," Sauron suddenly said. "Is this news confirmed? What's the details? "
"Yes, this is the news we just received," the messenger replied. "Our spies in the Undead's city have received the news, and it's very public news. The Undead have already notified the Humans, Dwarves, and other races that they're welcome to send their emissaries to attend the coronation ceremony. Now, the new government is also organizing a warm-up event in the Undead's city. It seems like they're preparing to introduce the new emperor to the Undead."
"Wait, you're saying that the new government is holding a warm-up event in the Undead's city?" Sauron seemed to have grasped something important and immediately asked, "In other words, this Emperor Wotcha is currently in the Undead's city?"
"Yes, not only that, but the three Undead Lords have also appeared in the Undead's city, including Great Lord Sulfur, Great Lord Maxim, and the traitor Mattheon."
"Is that really the case?" Sauron's body suddenly trembled, and he said to Bezera, "Your Highness, this might be an opportunity for us."
"What?" Bezera asked, "What opportunity?"
"The Undead leader is in a hurry to hold a coronation ceremony to confirm his throne. This anxiety has also given us an opportunity," Sauron said. "Look at the current state of the Undead army. Although they've successfully crossed the Hailgaro River, they're also facing a problem. Their army is now facing the river, and there's no place for them to escape. This is a very fatal mistake."
"Huh?" Bezera still didn't understand what Sauron meant.
Sauron immediately said, "If our army dares to attack now, the other party will never think of it."
"Attack? Us? But … but … yes, I understand. " Bezera suddenly froze, then understood what Sauron meant. "That's right, the Undead leader isn't in the barracks."
"Yes, Your Highness. Not only that, but the other Undead Lords aren't in the barracks. Fiona has probably been punished because of her defeat. Other than Soudeis, the other three Lords have gone to the main city to participate in the coronation ceremony, which means that Soudeis is the only one left in the barracks," Sauron said.
"In other words, now is the time when the Undead are at their weakest. They definitely won't think that we would dare to take the initiative and attack their army at this time," Bezera immediately said.
"Yes." Sauron nodded. "If our troops set off now, we can barely reach the vicinity of the Haigalor River in three days. At that time, the Undead will hold their coronation ceremony. That is to say, we may be able to give them a fatal blow at the moment when their consciousness is at its weakest during the coronation ceremony."
"Yes!" Bezera immediately said, "The other party will never think of this. This is a good idea!"
"But …" At this time, Sauron suddenly hesitated.
"What's wrong, Prime Minister?" Bezera asked.
"I keep feeling that something isn't right. It's possible that the other party will hold their coronation ceremony at this time, but it's too strange … The timing is also a little …" Sauron said. "Could it be a plot by the Undead?"
"Huh?" Bezera was slightly stunned. "You're saying that they're deliberately luring us? This … this is a little too scary. But if it's really … "
"But I think we should still send out our army. Think about the current situation, we're already in a very dangerous situation. If we continue to develop, and the armies of the two races really advance into our main city, it's really uncertain who will win. If we lose, our entire race will be wiped out. Just like the Dwarves, we must seize every possible opportunity now." Sauron thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, we can first put our army in position, then continue to observe the situation. Isn't the coronation ceremony here in three days? Let's see what the Undead are up to. If the other party really holds the ceremony, we'll let our army attack. At that time, the other party's leader won't be able to make it back in time. If there's a problem, we'll let our army return immediately. This is safer. "
"Indeed." Bezera thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed the best idea."
After speaking, Bezera waved his hand and said, "Listen to my command. The army is to immediately set off. At the same time, pay attention to the situation in the main city of the Undead. I will receive any news immediately, especially the movements of the other party's leader."
"Yes, Your Highness," all the Demons replied in unison.
