Chapter 67: The Eve

The front legion battle line was opened, and the council guard legion and Xue Hua in the rainforest were not idle.

Xue Hua arrived at Jikur before the Demon Slayer Legion's plan could be implemented, and when he arrived, Omarth was discussing information with a group of legendary powerhouses about General Hodge's return.

Hodge asks them how much more reinforcements they can take, and he says he has a plan to inflict heavy losses on the demon legions in Kurip or even defeat them in one fell swoop.

But this plan requires their cooperation, and it must be determined how many reinforcements they can withstand from the demon legion before General Hodge dares to take the medicine.

If the tolerance limit is too low, General Hodge will not dare to take this risk, after all, the parliamentary guards in the rear are the center of gravity of the entire strategic plan, and he cannot put the entire battle situation in danger in order to achieve a tactical victory on the front.

So General Hodge sent Commander Okaso, the Commander of the Parliamentary Guard, two plans, one of the more dangerous ones just mentioned, and the other a delaying plan to shift the strategic focus.

According to this plan, the Demon Slayer Legion will drag most of the Demon Legion with the main force in the front, and then send the elite Legendary Professionals team to infiltrate the downstream tributary of the Zuraka River that passes through the ruins of Kurip, and cooperate with the legendary Amazon Sarah to frantically ambush the Demon Legion returning from the ruins of Kurip to the rear rainforest to support, forcing the Hell side to send the same elite team to break the attack with them.

In this way, the two sides shifted their strategic focus from frontal siege warfare to seize the communication lanes of the tributaries of the Zuraka River, and to minimize the geographical advantage of the demon side in occupying the ruins of the city of Kulrip.

However, this tactic also has a considerable drawback, that is, the reception and support required by the elite team of legendary professionals sent into the jungle.

With an entire Kurip ruin between the Demon Slayer's camp and the rainforest, it is impossible for them to deliver supplies to the elite team on time every time, and without supplies and response, even the Legendary Mighty will only deteriorate.

On top of that, the opponent of the Demon Slayer Legion is the Fox Wolf, a very good Legendary Evil Pact Commander.

There's no way he'd let the elite squad of the Demon Slayer Legion attack their reinforcements in the rainforest so comfortably.

Therefore, in order to support the battle of this elite team, in addition to the Demon Slayer Legion will change the method to send supplies to them, the survivors of the Council Guard Legion and Kurast must also play a part in it.

These two plans immediately stumped the commander of the Legion of the Council Guard, Okaso, and even the Legion's brains Marion did not dare to make up his mind easily.

They had to gather all the legendary powerhouses in Jikur together to discuss the contents of the two plans, and see if they could brainstorm the best one among the two plans.

And it just so happened that at this time, Xue Hua arrived at Jikur through the magic barrier, and a group of legendary powerhouses who knew his strength immediately invited him to the discussion.

Xue Hua immediately chose the first plan without hesitation after reading the contents of the two plans, because the strategic layout of the insect swarm in the entire rainforest had entered the initial stage of maturity, and the layout of the tunnel insect network had also crossed the Zuraka River to the banks of that tributary, and he could dispatch a large army to the banks of that tributary at any time to ambush the second wave of demon reinforcements that had been released.

With such a backing as a guarantee, Xue Hua was sure enough to completely annihilate a reinforcement force of the Demon Legion with no more than 100,000 troops on the turbulent river.

However, due to the importance of the matter, even with Xue Hua's assurance, several legendary powerhouses among the council guard legions and the survivors of Kurast still did not dare to make up their minds easily.

At this time, Nataya, who had gone out on a reconnaissance mission, returned, and the information she brought prompted a group of legendary powerhouses to make up their minds.

Although Nataya was unable to infiltrate the harbor of Kurast, she still brought back a piece of information that was very important to the Legion of the Parliamentary Guard.

According to her observations, the number of demon clones in the Kurast Harbor is increasing dramatically, and the hell portals in the city are running around the clock, providing a large number of reinforcements and an increasingly strong hellish aura for the demon legions in the Kurast Harbor.

Moreover, the information of the "Sacrificial Eye" she mentioned also attracted the attention of Okasso and Omas, who realized that the reconquest of the seaport of Kurast must begin as soon as possible, otherwise the Legion of Hell would continue to operate like this, and soon the seaport of Kurast would become an impregnable fortress of war.

The longer the time drags on, the more detrimental it is to them.

Before the Council Guardians launch a general attack on the Kurast Harbor, they must ensure that the main force of the Demon Legion is firmly nailed to the rainforest border by the Demon Slayer Legion, which means that the Demon Slayer Legion must recapture the ruins of Kurip, which controls the tributary channel, otherwise the main force of the Demon Legion can go down the river through the waterway at any time and directly reinforce the demon defenders in the Kurast Seaport.

As soon as the plan was finalized, everyone began to split up on their tasks.

As Okasso and Marion and the legendary powerhouses of the Council Guard and the Parliamentary Investigation Team begin to assemble for battle, Xue Hua mobilizes an army of biters from the mind of the main nest and orders them to begin converging along the banks of the Zuraka River tributary in the northern part of the rainforest.

He himself will also go to the ambush site with the team, so that such a wave of experience packages for killing demon clones can at least get him more than two levels up, right?

Before leaving, Xue Hua handed over to Omars the jade statues he had collected that were used by the dwarf wizards to summon primordial gods, and the riddle monks who saw these statues instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't expect that the Hell Legion would actually control the totem summoning rituals of the dwarf tribe, and even wanted to use these rituals to enslave those primordial gods for their use.

If this is done by the Evil Pact, then by the time they begin their assault on the seaport of Kurast, these primordial gods with legendary powers will inflict great losses on the Professionals' side.

Omars solemnly expressed his gratitude to Xue Hua, and promised that if the seaport of Kurast was finally captured, the "Avatar of Tagio" real body set used by Mephisto to maintain the portal to Hell would definitely be handed over to Xue Hua.

In addition, Omars also selected a set of projections from his private collection called "The Folly of Sander" series of projections to reward him for his contribution to the people of the seaport of Kurast during the war.

Xue Hua accepted the reward of this set, and it happened that his level was about to reach level 25, and there would be replacement equipment to use at that time... Although the gloves can't be worn yet~

Before leaving, Xue Hua also did one last thing with Farah, Drogenam, and Omarth - they interrogated the legendary Evil Covenant Amazon, who Farah had taken all the way to Jikur.

Plagued by the inpatients' powerful nerve parasites, the Amazon finally revealed everything it knew.

From her mouth, Xue Hua and the others learned that the strategic center of gravity of the Demon Legion had already shifted from the Kurast Seaport to Cui Fanke in the middle of the rainforest, where there were more than ten Legendary Evil Covenants and a total of nine thousand high-level Evil Covenant Cultivators in three brigades to guard them.

The number of demon clones in the city has reached more than one million, and the huge underground temple system of Cui Vank City has become the best hiding hole for these demon legions.

In the end, Xue Hua, Farah and the others also confirmed a piece of news that was quite bad for them from the mouth of this legendary cultivator.

The doppelganger of Mephisto, the King of Hatred, has descended into the prison of hatred under Trivank.

Moreover, it has activated the protection of the Divine Celestial Sphere.
