It is no wonder that the elders of the Game God Sect have such grim expressions.
Previously, right after the conclusion of the Great Yu, the Demon Clan's Army used the excuse of needing to return immediately to assess the damage in the Demon’s Swamp and find a way to block the fleeing Dragon City Army, leading to a complete withdrawal of their forces!
But what was the outcome?
They let their enemies escape unscathed, taking away most of the Demon Clan's resources, leaving their foundation severely depleted.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Brahma Demon King still controlled many Ancient Beasts at that time, and that the Game God Sect was facing threats from all sides, it would have been better to stab the Demon Clan in the back then!
However, one benefit of this setback was that it made the entire Demon Clan realize the importance of their alliance. Not long after, the Brahma Demon King took the initiative to propose bringing his Army to assist in battle. At that time, they thought the Demon Clan had changed its ways.
Looking at it now... what a dream!
How could they have expected these demons to keep their word?
Now, as soon as there is any sign of trouble, they have thrown them aside once again.
Hearing Master of Victory's reminder, the Brahma Demon King sneered: "Master of Victory, I understand what you are trying to say. But have you considered that this time, the target chosen by the divine race is quite ruthless! We can no longer afford another loss at Demon’s Swamp. For thousands of years, it has been a psychological stronghold for our Demon Clan. We know that no matter how many defeats we suffer, as long as Demon’s Swamp remains intact, we haven't truly lost!"
"But last time, an infuriating Ancient Beast led those from Dragon City to familiarize themselves with the terrain there, allowing them to bypass countless death traps! Moreover, they took advantage of our weakened state and breached Demon’s Swamp, completely destroying its Defensive Array! If there are no heavy troops stationed there now, it would be like opening a door wide for the divine race to enter!"
"Master of Victory, it's not that we don't want to uphold our alliance; it's just that this move strikes at our last line of defense. We have no other choice!"
"Hmph!" Even though he understood the difficulties faced by the Demon Clan, it did not mean that Victory Over Heaven and those under Game God Sect would truly sympathize with them. "Then why don't you consider whether this might be a feint by the divine race? Even if breaching Demon’s Swamp is equally important, have you thought about how those disciples from Holy Divine Gate could possibly tolerate Divine Coalition disregarding their elders or even their sect leader? Brahma Demon King, if that's the case, our Game God Sect would be fighting on three fronts! Do you want them to exhaust our Game God Sect's strength?"
At this point, Master of Victory did not hesitate to lay out his final words.
The Brahma Demon King's face showed no signs of cracking: "Sigh~~~ Master of Victory, what are you saying? Don't forget that what you mentioned are all assumptions while they are currently advancing on Demon’s Swamp—that is reality! In fact, we need to send our elite forces from Demon Clan to confront the main force of the divine race! This would allow your Game God Sect to reap the benefits without any effort! Do you really think that Heaven's Binding along with the remnants of Evil Extermination Sect can compare with the main force of the divine race?"
The natural rift between their alliances finally erupted after the greatest enemy was severely weakened, just as Wang Long had predicted...
Dividing the world between two people could never compare to one person ruling it all.
What both sides did not reveal was that they had already detected that the number of people dispatched by the Divine Coalition was merely around eighteen thousand!
Although their strength had also been damaged previously, such power was not something one faction could handle alone, and it was not a terrifying force for their alliance.
Given this situation, the best choice was naturally to let the other side exhaust themselves first, and then descend in the guise of a savior!
Moreover, for the Demon Clan, there was no loss at all; even if the Divine Army acted unexpectedly and truly launched a strong attack on the Demon’s Swamp, it would indicate that their judgment had been prescient, allowing them to openly request reinforcements from the Game God Sect!
From the very beginning, they were in an unbeatable position!
And this!
Was also the bait that Wang Long had thrown to them!
The army desired movement, but intelligence came first.
Wang Long had always placed great importance on intelligence, far beyond any other aspect including strength or battle formations! Although he had now become the commander of the alliance and could no longer act as freely as before, he directly dispatched experts of the caliber of Evil and Malicious and Shunshen Song Shuping to personally conduct reconnaissance.
The skirmish began directly between the scouts of both sides.
The Demon Clan and Game God Sect were not fools; they understood that there was a significant gap in command compared to Wang Long and his group. Therefore, they worked hard to improve themselves. The scouts they sent out were clearly much stronger than before. However, unfortunately, compared to Evil and Malicious and Song Shuping, they still appeared weak.
In earlier times, the various races in the divine realm paid no attention to such skirmishes between scouts. However, in reality, these seemingly insignificant small victories accumulated over time. The results may have been limited, but their duration was long. When those stationed warriors remained unaware of their enemies and only heard about how their side had lost again and suffered casualties among several experts, how could morale remain high over a prolonged period?
Moreover, hearing that the Divine Coalition could deploy such powerful experts just for reconnaissance, one could not help but compare it to their own Ancient Deities, whose top-tier members were overly proud. If they were to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's generals, they might barely manage to move, let alone act as scouts.
In any case, they had never expected much. It also seemed that the Brahma Demon King and Master of Victory did not take it too seriously.
From their perspective, the numerous Low-Level Demons were sufficient; as long as they could relay information back, other losses were never a consideration.
Even if some Ancient Deities occasionally wanted to give it a try, upon hearing that the Divine Coalition had dispatched these two powerful figures, they immediately dismissed the thought!
What a joke! Among their scouts, there were hardly any valuable targets. If they went themselves, they would be too conspicuous; it would be impossible to remain low-key. What if those two formidable beings set their sights on them?
Escape?
They did not know much about Evil and Malicious; they only heard that their strength was formidable. But how could they not know about Shunshen Song Shuping? No matter how fast one could run, could it match the Instant Flash Technique?
Even though there were already formations within the Demon Clan capable of countering the Instant Flash Technique, one had to understand the situation.
As scouts, they originally operated in small teams and dispersed. Once you discovered the enemy, they would certainly notice you as well. At that moment, where would you find the time to gather your warriors and set up formations?
That much time would be enough for them to crush you dozens of times over.
Conversely, after experiencing a significant defeat previously, the elders of various sects who had begun to fear the strength of the Demon Clan suddenly realized that it was not as terrifying as they had imagined! Although they certainly could not match Lord Shunshen's power, relying solely on these two experts had already caused them considerable suffering and losses. Moreover, there were many more powerful figures like Lord Shunshen in their camp!
"How is it? Can we confirm the current movements of the Demon Clan?"
In the Main Tent, Wang Long was discussing with Princess Liling, Jiang Xue, and others while looking at the newly created three-dimensional map. Having visited once before, he was already familiar with this area’s terrain and even some aspects of the Demon’s Swamp. Wang Long quickly produced a map so that other divine beings could have a general understanding of the terrain—seeing Evil and Malicious return alongside Shunshen Song Shuping, he hurriedly asked.
"Looks like part of the main force of the Demon Clan has already arrived!" Regardless of how much dissatisfaction and distrust there was from Holy Divine Gate regarding Wang Long's plans, Evil and Malicious and Song Shuping had absolute confidence in him. The situation was progressing in line with Wang Long's predictions, bringing them great joy. "Today we ventured forward nearly a hundred miles into enemy territory. Although we did not see the main army of the Demon Clan, the pressure we felt was several times greater than four days ago. Moreover, after they discovered us, they immediately signaled towards a new encampment. We can clearly sense that Ancient Demon Lord-level experts have emerged from there—and not just one!"
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, everyone was invigorated. At the very least, they had uncovered one of their main camps, allowing them to eliminate it before launching an attack in the future!
Of course, not everyone felt pleased. Several representatives from medium-sized factions expressed their doubts. "Why would they so easily expose their Ancient Demon Lord level experts? Could this be a trap or some kind of diversion?"
Wang Long confidently replied, "It seems that several elders are quite perceptive. Indeed, if I am not mistaken, they have intentionally revealed this camp and the experts within it to let us know that their main force has returned."
"Uh, could this really be their trap?"
"Hahaha, of course not! If they were truly setting a bait, two or three Ancient Demon Lords would hardly satisfy our appetite. This is merely the Brahma Demon King testing the waters."
Seeing Wang Long and Jiang Xue share a knowing smile, the Elders of the Divine Race could only smile wryly. They just couldn't grasp what it all meant.
"It seems that the Brahma Demon King has begun to suspect our true target this time. However, as I mentioned earlier, on one hand, they have no choice but to interfere; on the other hand, they are also willing to help us. They want us to engage with the Game God Sect first because they are confident they can stop us from defeating the Game God Sect and rescuing the Heavenly Binding Sect Master and others at the last moment. By doing this deliberately, they want to inform us that their army has gathered. If we still wish to launch a forced attack, they will accompany us to the end. On another note, it also indicates that there are no reinforcements for the Game God Sect now; if we plan to create a diversion, we can proceed with confidence."
"Really, it has succeeded!" The elders of the Holy Divine Gate thought carefully and found Wang Long's reasoning indeed valid. They finally felt relieved. "Then Dragon Lord, should we mobilize our troops immediately and crush the Game God Sect?"
"Not so fast," Wang Long said with assurance. "If we let the Demon Clan off so easily, wouldn't that be too generous? Moreover, we must confirm that this is not a feigned retreat on their part. Hehe, tomorrow I will personally lead an assault against them!"
