Back in the chamber, Wendy recounted her newfound information from beginning to end, and when it came to safe distancing, Eldy unceremoniously interrupted her.

"There is no real safe distance in front of the devil - Tachira has learned this only after paying a heavy price, and it is extremely dangerous to demarcate the area of engagement with the consumption of red mist. For example, a dreadbeast can carry multiple gas canisters to greatly increase the range of a raid, or it can plant a batch of gas canisters in advance and replace them on the march. Of course, the most direct way is to establish outposts, and use these stations as a springboard to gain a longer attack range, and fighting around the outpost battle is the main tone of the entire battle of the Divine Will, but unfortunately it is difficult to find all the secretly built outposts on the vast plains. Don't forget, the devil is more cunning than you think. 」

Wendy couldn't help but imagine the scene depicted by the other party: an overwhelming army of demons launching a frontal assault and erecting outposts that could store red mist, once completed, the area would soon be overrun by a steady stream of demons, and the Federation would lose the corresponding intelligence and resources, causing the surrounding area to be in danger as well. In the end, it snowballed, and the more land you lost, the harder it became to move until you were no longer able to resist the devil's attack.

"And what do you think are the odds that they'll attack Neverwinter?" Tilly asked calmly.

"I'd say you're lucky—or we're all lucky," Elfis muttered as he spread his tentacles, "While Red Mist can't tell the enemy's limits, it can at least judge their intentions. In a short period of time, I don't think it's very likely that the devil will launch a large-scale attack on Neverwinter. 」

"Can you elaborate?"

"It's still red mist. The Ancient Witch nodded her sarcoma head, "All the actions of the devil depend on the delivery of red mist, and sinking into the ground means that the supplies they can use are not abundant, leaving only patrols instead of building camps, which also proves this from the side. Even if there were demons attacking the border, it would be only a sporadic force. Of course, whether there will be any changes in the follow-up situation depends on the situation on site. 」

Tilly shifted her gaze to Pasha.

"Elb's judgment is credible," the latter bowed his beard, "In the era of the Federation, the Saint Blessed Army team she led won many victories in surprise attacks on the devil's camp...... It's just that the temper is not very good. 」

"My patience is only for things that deserve attention," Elti said angrily, "I'm more worried about the new war machines than the long-range raids of the dinosaurs. 」

"I'd like to ask...... How did the devil transport the red mist before?" Barov finally found an opportunity to speak.

"Pretty much like us," Pasha sighed, "Lesser devils, trailers, enslaved hybrids, or modified siege beasts. The time for them to plan a war is also close to ours, and whenever a big war is coming, more than a dozen red lines can always be seen on the fertile plains. 」

"In order to intercept the red mist in transport, whether it is the Holy Blessing Army, ordinary battle witches, or even mortal armies, they must go all out. If we encounter a well-guarded convoy, our blood will often stain the entire road, so those red lines are not only the blood of the devil, but also the line of life and death. Elfis added.

The last sentence made the atmosphere of the scene a little frozen for a while.

Although they had not officially fought the devil's army, everyone felt the pressure that this powerful alien race had inflicted on humanity more than four hundred years ago.

Under the influence of His Majesty Roland, even Wendy knows the importance of logistics, and the means of transportation are undoubtedly the standard by which to measure their level. If the Devil is capable of crafting such a large apparatus to deliver the Red Mist, it means that they can use fewer troops to supply the front line in large quantities. The reduction of the blood line will make each convoy more tightly guarded, and perhaps what Loga sees will become the norm for the devil in the future.

If it weren't for Roland Wimbledon, she really didn't know how the Fourth War of Divine Will would have been fought—the devil had probably changed dramatically in the past few hundred years, as evidenced by the high-level devils acting alone and the gigantic skeleton monsters, but apart from Neverwinter, the power of the other human kingdoms seemed to be much weaker than in the Confederation era, and she couldn't imagine that those noble knights would rush to the devil's army without fear of death.

"All in all, the current situation is very close to what we had previously inferred—except that the timing was not right. Probably realizing that overemphasizing the hardships of war would damage one's morale, Elchic coughed twice and changed the subject, "The blackstone minaret that can produce red mist on its own needs to be built on the veins of the Divine Stone, and it is not uncommon for the enemy to choose to seize the ruins of the Holy City, after all, Taqira is already the easternmost gathering place of the Divine Stone in the Fertile Plain. Once the minaret is erected, the area covered by the red mist can directly envelop the desperate mountains, and at that point, all resistance will be meaningless. 」

No one objected, the lack of movement restrictions meant that the devil could attack from all directions, and the flying dinosaur was far more mobile than a hydrogen balloon, and could be attacked as long as it left the city limits...... In this situation, humanity simply cannot hold out for a few years, and it will collapse completely.

Although Wendy is not very good at marching and fighting, she has participated in many meetings, and she knows that both His Majesty Roland and the Church of Hermes have made a plan to never let the devil take the ruins of Tachira.

It seems that all three parties have thought of the same thing.

"Thankfully, the Devil has revealed their intentions ahead of time, and with at least three to five years left before the Red Moon falls, we can be fully prepared and unleash a thunderous blow. Elti continued, "It doesn't matter if it fails, the closest blackstone minarets to the Fertile Plains are hundreds of miles north of the Dragon's Back Mountains, and it doesn't have an advantage to consume them. But one thing is certain, and that is that war has arrived. 」

Wendy suddenly felt a lot heavier on her shoulders.

"Wait, wait......" Barov suddenly shouted, "I don't care how you want to fight me, but you can't keep the gates closed, right?" Now that you know that Neverwinter is still far away in the devil's army, and it won't be attacked for the time being, can you first lift the guard and let those cattle farms be operational?"

"I also think that Neverwinter needs a more reliable way of warning," the head of the garrison said in a rare manner, "Your Majesty once said that being able to build a deeper defense line means that the defender has a higher margin for error. Can Miss Lian erect a few beacons in the border area of the grassland? Of course, it would be better if it was the kind of communication tool that Master Carter mentioned that could instantly connect dozens of miles of land. In this way, the work of the town hall will not be delayed. ”

The former is okay to say, but the latter is without Anna and Roland, and no one knows what to do. In addition, is the speed at which the beacon fire transmits alarms really enough to catch up with the dinosaur raid?

Wendy hesitated for a moment, and was about to answer when Pasha's voice was already ringing in her head.

"Leave this matter to us. 」

"Oh, what are you going to do?" Ash raised an eyebrow.

"Now that we know where the devil is stationed, things are easier to do," Pasha stretched out her tentacle and handed it to the light curtain, "With this, we can create a more comprehensive view of the devil, just like this light curtain. 」

I saw a brilliant multicolored magic stone placed in her hand.

Wendy immediately remembered what Phyllis Seventy-Six had done, "You're going to use it to locate the illusion device?"

"That's right, just crush it, and the mana core will be able to unfold the light curtain in its corresponding position. However, the number of this magic stone is extremely limited, and if you consume one, you will lose one, and it is also the key to finding the key of the Chosen One, so I can only use it in the most critical places. 」

"But—" she thought of another question for a moment, "you need to send someone close to the ruins ......of Tachira, right?

"Don't worry, don't bother you, since we came up with the idea, we will naturally do it. "Tachira can't come up with the cowardice of conceiving a plan and then throwing it to others. Besides, such a trivial matter is nothing, and every witch is ready to sacrifice—"

"But it's best if you don't sacrifice it," Tilly interrupted with a smile, "I'll leave the task of placing the stone to the Sleeping Charm." Although their combat power is limited, they are not able to compete in a variety of abilities, not to mention that as newcomers to the Western Realm, they need merit to be recognized by everyone, right?"
