"The situation is very bad, Your Excellency. I'm afraid we're really in big trouble this time."
Perdys' words made Tang En nervous. After sitting down and preparing the recording tools, Perdys began to talk about her investigation.
"Your Majesty, you should also know that a long time ago, there were other continents in Prandal. Although that continent has sunk because of the prehistoric civilization, the existence of that continent is not a secret to us luminous scales nagas and nutao sahagins. We have explored there many times.
"But due to the power of the sea, there are almost no traces of civilization left on that continent, leaving only large areas of building ruins. The seawater covered the continent, causing it to disappear from the world. "
"But this time, I ran for thousands of miles at the bottom of the sea. After rushing there, I was surprised to find that those demons were using a super-large magic formation to try to pull up the sunken continent from the bottom of the sea!
"This is incredible! I secretly observed around the archipelago for a while, and then I confirmed one thing: the islands that have emerged from the water are the core of the giant magic formation. The entire continent will rise from the bottom of the sea with that as the center and become a continent again. "
Perdys said with a look of disbelief. "To be honest, I was very surprised that the demons would do such a thing because this is not something that demons would do."
I'm also very surprised.
Tang En sighed. "Continue."
"Although I wanted to investigate carefully, I found that with the corrupted archipelago as the center, the surrounding islands and under the water were full of traces of demons. They had completely occupied that place, and I had no way to break through their defense network. I could only scout from afar.
"Because I did not see any critical information, I waited there patiently for a few days. But after waiting for a few days, I saw an amazing scene … Your Excellency, guess what I saw?"
Tang En frowned. After pondering for a moment, he asked tentatively, "The commander who made the demons work?"
Perldis nodded: "As expected of Sir Messenger, how did you guess it?"
Tang En said very calmly, "Demons are chaotic and disorderly. They are crazy creatures. It's impossible for them to have such behavior, so the answer is obvious. There's a relatively rational 'commander' commanding all of this behind the scenes … It's even possible that this was planned by that commander."
"Perhaps … but you won't be able to guess who the commander is."
"Who is it?"
Tang En's mind raced, but he couldn't think of an answer.
"It was a human … a human king named Stanley Grace."
"It's him!?"
Tang En exclaimed. How could it be Stanley!? Because of the contract, even his soul had been devoured (See Chapter 1134) … Wait!? His soul was being devoured!?
Tang En originally thought that Stanley had fulfilled the contract and his soul had been taken away by the Kamala Bloodthirsty Demon, becoming its nourishment.
But now, it seemed that not only was Stanley not dead, but he was also thriving in the Purgatory Abyss and could even command the demons to a certain extent!
Isn't this too ridiculous!?
"Are you sure it's him!?"
"Of course, we also saw the propaganda you guys used on Grace. Stanley Grace, I remember it very clearly. It can't be wrong," Perldis said with certainty.
"I saw him order those demons to set up a magic formation, and at the same time, he summoned more demons from the portal to join the construction army," Perdys said with certainty.
This is f * cking … illogical!
"After I found Stanley, I wanted to go deeper and observe the situation further, but I didn't expect to be discovered by the demons at this time."
Perldis sighed. "I underestimated the keen sense of smell of those demons. I was surrounded almost instantly. The average strength of those demons almost reached the Extraordinary level, and some even reached the Supreme level. In addition, I also found a few Legendary-level demons."
Perldis seemed to recall what had happened before, and her expression was extremely ugly. "Due to the protection of the gods, there has never been a record of a Legendary-level demon descending in history. Even Supreme level demons are quite rare … But now, I actually saw Legendary-level demons. To be honest, I was scared."
"This shouldn't have happened. Legendary-level demons shouldn't have appeared in Prandal."
"But this really happened."
Damn it …
Tang En suddenly realized that his unintentional slash back then seemed to have caused a terrible consequence, and it was almost irreversible.
"After I was discovered, I was surrounded by demons, and then I immediately launched a counterattack. I fought back while escaping, but I still underestimated those demons. They almost left me there forever."
Perldis clutched her chest, where there was a faint pink mark. The wound should have just healed. "A Legendary-level balor and a Legendary-level Nazula slayer joined forces and almost killed me. Fortunately, I carried the Return Crystal. The Return Crystal that could be activated instantly saved my life."
Perldis pointed to the transparent crystal on the table, then looked at Tang En and asked, "So, Sir Messenger, how do you plan to deal with these demons? If we continue to let them summon their compatriots, that place will soon completely become a demon kingdom. There will be more and more powerful demons, and we won't be able to fight them head-on. "
After a moment of silence, Tang En said coldly, "No, we won't continue to wait. We have to take the initiative to attack."
Sitting back and waiting for death was indeed not a good idea, especially since there was the ambitious Stanley on the demons' side. Under his control, the strong and powerful demons were equivalent to having an extra brain, and the danger level rose sharply.
If they did not organize their expansion now, it would not be long before they took the initiative to eliminate the humans here.
Perldis knelt on one knee in front of Tang En and said, "If you need it, the bright-scaled nagas will completely obey your orders and are willing to sacrifice everything for this world."
"Get up. There should be no need for you to sacrifice yourselves for the time being."
Tang En sneered. "To put it bluntly, demons are just some powerful brutes. So what if I have Stanley's help? In the human countries, Stanley is just an idiot whose muscles have grown into his brain. He's just a little smarter than demons. "
In fact, there were only two difficulties that Tang En was facing now. First, the number of demons was huge and endless, and it was impossible to use numbers to fight a war of attrition. Second, as the creations of the gods' strengthened power in ancient times, the average strength of demons was very powerful, far exceeding the average level of humans. The average combat strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all.
The solution was very simple. If the numbers could not compare, and the average strength could not compare, then he would not compete with them and directly organize a top elite team to engage in guerrilla warfare and destroy!
Yes, the answer was that simple!
If it were in the Purgatory Abyss, Tang En would not be able to do anything to these demons if they could not fight and run away. But here, since they had to maintain the magic formation, it was equivalent to having a weakness. As long as he organized an elite team and acted with the purpose of destruction, these demons would not be able to keep them.
If the enemy advances, I retreat; if the enemy stays, I harass; if the enemy is tired, I attack; if the enemy retreats, I chase. The great leader had already explained the combat policy in the face of strong enemies a long time ago. Now, Tang En needed to find an opportunity to display it.
Tang En let Perdys go back to rest and recuperate, and then he took action himself.
First, it was to integrate all the information obtained so far, especially the satellite surveillance images. They could infer how much time they had left from the speed of expansion and the sunken terrain of the old continent.
Secondly, it was to integrate all the forces that could be used at the moment. In addition to the legendary masters beside him, there was also the necessary combat platform that had to be mobilized.
For example, the Helicarrier that had undergone a second transformation and innovation.
When necessary, they even needed to teleport the City of Silver directly to the frontline as a supply station and transit station.
Considering the situation of the City of Silver, Tang En decided not to think about this for the time being. Maybe …
His gaze fell on the other floating islands in the sky.
These floating islands were stable, efficient, and had a solid foundation. As long as they were modified from the original foundation and added thrusters and weapon systems, they would immediately become "Helicarriers" that could be used.
Even if their mobility and defensive capabilities were not as good as the real Helicarriers, these floating islands were cheap to build, and the construction period was short!
Thinking of this, Tang En immediately put away the satellite photos and ran to find Angus.
"What!? You want to modify those floating islands? "
Tang En's words stunned Angus. "Aren't we already able to produce airships now? Why do we have to go through so much trouble to modify the floating islands? "
"That's because we need a large number of cheap, efficient, and mobile aerial combat platforms, as well as logistics and supply bases."
Tang En said slowly, "Perdys, who went to the Corrupted Islands to investigate, has returned. The area is expanding, and the number of demons is increasing. So this time, we need to take the initiative to attack."
"I understand!"
Angus clapped his hands. "You want to use the natural characteristics of the floating islands to build combat platforms similar to the Helicarriers, and then surround the Corrupted Islands and annihilate the demons!"
"This is very obvious. Saying it out loud will only make you look stupid."
Angus frowned. "Technically, of course there's no problem, but …"
