The group advanced at full speed in combat formation. Although Chen Lina and Fan Li were young and had little practical experience, they both received regular and complete sets of witch hunters training, including team operations. Therefore, they were familiar with the team and advanced to the temporary base of the Expeditionary Force as everyone joined the team.

Midway through, Jing Yuanming and the team he led separated from the others and turned to another direction.

Fan Li noticed that the players behind Jing Yuanming were extremely agile and agile. After the two teams separated, they saw that they had sprinted and changed directions and disappeared within a short hundred meters, disappearing from the sight and even perception of others! If it weren't for knowing that such a group of people existed in advance, Fan Li and the others wouldn't have even noticed any abnormality.

These team members are the main demon hunters in the Forest of Thorns, as well as the top assassin talents from several other large studios. At this moment, they are all concentrated under the "Assassin King" Jing Yuanming, who is going to the nearby demon city to investigate and find targets.

The rest continued to move forward and finally returned to the base two hours later.

"What is this? It feels familiar." Vanley looked at the grand building complex in front of him... or the city, and the fortress is more suitable. "This is the base camp of the Expeditionary Force?"

"How is it, isn't it?" asked someone in the team. "It's all our territory, so don't worry."

"It's not just good? It's crazy and unimaginable!" Vanley did not hide his surprise because he knew the complex of such styles and specifications.

Just over ten days ago, after they and Woz came out of the Tort Gate, when they looked back, a similar scene came into view!

"Gate of Dawn..." Fan Li spitted out a few words. He had known for a long time that the expeditionary force came to the Constant Yang Realm from the Golden Gate where the Dawn Knights were in charge of guarding. "This is the military camp on the side of the Constant Yang Realm outside the Dawn Gate!"

"Where is the demon army stationed here?" Van Lizhi couldn't help asking.

"Run!" The Axe King spit out two words.

"Running?" Fan Li looked incredible, "What a joke!"

"It's true. When we rushed into the Settling Sun Realm, we organized a suicide squad, which was specifically responsible for opening up the situation and stabilizing a landing space... It turned out that it was useless because there was no resistance at all. The entire fortress was empty!"

"Have you found out the reason?" Vanley couldn't help asking. After all, such an inexplicable and unprepared fortress can easily remind people of traps and strategies such as empty city schemes.

The Axe King patiently explained: "No abnormality was found... except that there were no demons stationed here! Jing Yuanming and his men searched the entire fortress, but the final result was that the demon army originally stationed here was evacuated in an orderly manner."

"Does there be any emergency situation that they need to be dispatched?" Fan Li speculated, "The gatekeeper said that the Constant Yang Realm has not been peaceful recently because the demon king army that attacked our human world..."

Such speculation is not without reason. After all, they already know that the legions guarding the Golden Gate have basically forgotten their original responsibilities - no one has really entered the demon world through the gate behind them for hundreds of years. Who would care about such a "legend"?

If there is really an emergency, it is reasonable to mobilize the legions here to attack.

"Maybe, we have similar speculations, but we are not sure yet." The Axe King did not comment.

Because even if the entire army attacks, it is impossible for them to really not even want their own nests, right? Logistics personnel, new recruits and others will still stay behind, right?

However, in the face of overwhelming facts, the senior executives of the Expeditionary Force also let go of these meaningless random speculations. Since the great opportunity is in front of us, why do you want to do so much?

Let’s talk about occupying this bridgehead quickly! At worst, arrange more people to patrol and set up large-scale ceremonies to eliminate all threats.

Originally, the Expeditionary Force had the awareness of sacrificing at least one-quarter of its personnel first, and had to attack and seize this vanguard position to open a passage for subsequent troops to enter the Demon Realm.

Now you can complete the first step of the plan without a single soldier, or even pick up a complete military base for nothing. What else can you complain about?

The current situation is extremely beneficial to the Expeditionary Force, so the senior management adjusted their strategies in time, chose to take advantage of the opportunity when the demons did not discover it, seize the time to transport more materials, make sufficient strategic reserves, and even prepare to rely on the fortress to fight a protracted war, and completely incorporate this fortress and the Gate of Dawn into the control of the human world!

If possible, the king and the top leaders of the alliance do not even want to attack rashly. As long as they firmly occupy this base, the results they have achieved can completely compensate for the losses of the destruction of the Torrent Knights.

but……

"We have reached the point where we have to fight." The Axe King changed his face and said solemnly, "Even if we are willing to expose our own existence, we must take the initiative to fight and launch a decisive battle with the demons!"

"Why?" Chen Lina couldn't help but question, "Why do you have to risk going out of the city and take the initiative to attack?"

The Axe King and other witch hunters could only give him a helpless and bitter smile.

Because the domestic society is already in turmoil - the Knights, one of the pillars that have protected mankind for generations, have been destroyed, and for ordinary people, it is no less than a corner of the sky falling!

Even if the Star Alliance is still there, the Kingdom is still there, and the Knights of the Dawn and the Banners are still there, as a whole, the human world is far from being hurt!

But for ordinary people, they do not think so... In their concept, the Knights are the patron saints who protect the entire human world. Not to mention sacred and inviolable, but labels such as "invincible in battle" and "invincible" have always been firmly attached to them.

It was such an existence that was suddenly defeated by the demon and blocked the house and destroyed the whole family! The impact of the massacre of Torch Huo even exceeded that of the massacre of ten other cities!

The feeling that people give the world is that "the sky is about to collapse"!

Speaking of which, the Kingdom and the Alliance also felt a bit of a bitter fruit. In the dark age, in order to stabilize social order and enhance people's morale, they gave special meanings to the only two remaining knights, making them have the majesty and connotation that the ordinary witcher studio should have.

The effect is naturally good, but the side effects that follow also occur.

Once the existence of this kind of "divine nature" fails, the consequences will be far beyond normal standards.

For example, if the "Night Watcher" in the league's number one studio is destroyed, they will cause earthquakes far beyond the destruction of the Torrent Knights in the witchcraft circle, but in the eyes of ordinary humans, the shake will be even lighter!

In short, because the news of the demise of the Torrent Knights has gradually spread. Even though the Kingdom and the Alliance have tried to block the information, the Torrent Knights is the largest witch hunter armed force after all. How could it not attract people's attention after all?

It is already the limit to be able to delay the outbreak of public opinion by nearly twenty days.

In addition, the traitors of the Dark Star Alliance were secretly fueling the fire, and the atmosphere of panic and despair swept across the kingdom like a typhoon. The heavy haze was pressing on people's heads.

The stability of the kingdom is an absolutely important factor in the dark age of two hundred years.

At that time, humans were so desperate that they forgot their fear. They struggled almost instinctively, but they unknowingly survived the dark age and ushered in the dawn again.

The top leaders of the kingdom know that this is the last darkness before dawn, and it will be extremely difficult, but then there will be bright and brilliant sunshine!

Those who travel a hundred miles apart are half ninety. Any negligence at this critical moment may lead to a tragic ending that fails.

So no matter what, it cannot collapse! This is the consensus of all high-level and wise men in humanity.

That's why this "extremely unwise" expedition was a gamble that could be done with the stability of the human world in the next fifty years!
Chapter completed!
