"You mean Phothes, it's been completely isolated?!" When Biant heard Gerst's words, his face was surprised, and he seemed to be a little unconvinced, "You didn't lie to us, I obviously didn't see anything, and besides, what do you mean by the revenant, can you see the revenant?"

"Brother Pente, please be quiet." Gofedor looked displeased and gently kicked Piant.

"I fought Mr. Gerst once, and his ability is to manipulate the souls of the dead." Thorin turned her head and explained to Biante, "I don't think Mr. Gerst lied to us, there was no deception in his eyes."

Hearing Thorin say this, Pyanta nodded and didn't say anything. He also knew that in the current situation, he couldn't interject at all, so he turned around and stared at the east.

"I think the demons may have two plans now, as for what they are, I think you should know, so I won't say much, so I will leave." With that, Gust turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared in place.

After confirming that Gerst had left, Soreen turned around, looked at Gofidor and asked, "Gopphi, what do you think?"

"Mr. Gerst is right, the demons are now separating Phocherth from the rest of the city-states, and there may indeed be two plans." Gofedor thought for a moment and replied, "Either they're going to concentrate on us first, or they're going to attack the east first. The purpose of separating the eastern part of the city from the city of Verchers is to disconnect the two places, and wherever they attack, the other side will not be able to support them.'"

"Then do you think that if the demons attack the east first, the city-states there will be able to resist it?" Soreen asked again.

Gofedor didn't answer immediately, she looked down for a moment, then shook her head.

And at this moment, Paiante, who had been staring east, suddenly shouted, "You two look!"

Thorin and Gofidor looked in the direction that Biant was pointing, only to see a sudden vision on the periphery of one of the city-states closest to Phochers in the east.

The three of them could clearly see that a huge purple magic array was spreading out in the eastern sky, and black lightning continued to fall. In less than ten seconds, the woods on the outskirts of the eastern city-state were burning, and a thick black fog began to fill.

"The demons want to attack the east directly?" Seeing this, Sorine frowned, but she always felt that something was wrong, so she didn't act immediately.

However, after seeing this, Paiante, who was on the side, had already turned his shadow from the sunlight into a war scythe, and was ready to rush to the east.

However, as soon as Paiante was about to leave, he was stopped by Sorin.

"What do you want to do?" Sorine frowned and looked at Paiante as she asked.

"I don't need to say that you know what I want to do." Payant tried to shake off Sorin's hand, but Sorin held on to Payant so tightly that he couldn't break free.

This made Biann anxious, and he looked at the eastern border, which was already covered in black fog, and turned his head and yelled at Thorin, "Do you want to see death and not save it?!"

Facing the Paiante, who became a little excited, Sorin's face was very calm, and his eyes did not waver at all, "The safety of the people in the east has nothing to do with me, and I don't have to support them."

Hearing Thorin's words, Paante looked incredulous, "When the demons were about to attack here, you asked Gefei to invite the eastern city-state lords to come and ask them to support us, but now that the east is under attack by the demons, you are unwilling to lend a hand?"

However, in the face of Piant's questioning, Sorine still behaved quite calmly.

"First of all, I just want the city-state lords to discuss countermeasures. Secondly, the safety of the people of Phochers City comes first, and if this place is attacked, I will protect it at all costs. But there is nothing else I can do.'"

Sorin's meaning is obvious, only Phochers is the most important to her, and she can choose to use the power of others to help protect Phoches, but it doesn't mean that she will also help others when they are in trouble.

Soreen and Payant have different personalities and philosophies. Piante is a very pure justice, he cannot accept evil, and he will lend a helping hand to anyone in need. But Sorine is different, Sorine does not have the same sense of justice as Biante, she does everything for the benefit of Phothes, and she only shows "justice" to the people of Folchers.

All along, Sorin has always adhered to the philosophy that as long as Phoches City and the people of Folchers City are not in danger, as long as Phochers City can continue to grow, then that's fine, she doesn't care about anything else.

For Sorin's concept, in fact, Pointe also knows, and he will not interfere with Sorin's choice. What really thrilled him and couldn't accept it was that Sorine was stopping him from doing justice.

"I can't sit idly by and watch this kind of thing, you ...... let it go," Pointe said to Thorin with a sinking face, gritting his teeth.

"It is because of what has happened that you should be calm, you must know that we are not dealing with humans, but with aliens. You don't even know what kind of characteristics the demons have, what kind of racial abilities they have, and what the strength of each of them is, so you rush to help others, haven't you thought that this may put you in danger?" Soreen kept herself as calm as she could, carefully analyzing the pros and cons with Piant.

"What's more, you're sure you're sure that the demons are really attacking the east? Are you really sure that they are not deceiving us and tempting us?'

What Sorine said is not unreasonable, the information they have at the moment is very lacking, but the demons already know some about the situation in Phochers City, and it is difficult for Thorin to guarantee that the demons will not do anything to further obtain information about Phochers City.

The scene that happened in the east seemed to be an attack on the east by the demons, but what the real situation was, whether it was Thorin, Gofidor, or Payente, the three of them didn't know.

If Sorine had asked Biante to come over at this time, or if she had sent reinforcements on the spur of the moment, then Phorcher City would most likely face a lack of combat power. If attacking the east is just a trick for the demons, and they are just attacking the west, then the city of Verchester will be in danger. When the time comes, it will be very difficult for Sorine to protect the city of Phochers.

In Thorin's mind, the safety of Phothestown and its people always comes first, and she can't afford to take that as a joke.

After listening to Sorin's analysis, Biante slowly calmed down. He took a deep breath as he looked at the east, where the black fog had surged into the sky, obscuring everything.

"I understand what you're saying, but ......."

Halfway through Piant's words, his body vanished in place. It's not so much about disappearing, it's about the body melting into the shadows.

Seeing that Piante directly used his ability to slip out of his hand, Thorin couldn't stop it. The corners of her eyes twitched, and her expression was a little ugly, as if she was displeased that Payant was still bent on going her own way.

"Why don't you stop him?" Thorin turned around and asked with a cold look at Gofedor.

Piante used his ability to sneak through the shadows to escape from Sorin, and Sorine couldn't stop it, but that didn't mean Gofedor couldn't stop it. If Gofidor didn't want Payant to support the East alone, then Payant would never have been able to leave here, but now that he is gone, Sorine thinks that Gofidor deliberately let him go.

"Let's let Brother Biante personally investigate the east and confirm whether the demons are really attacking the east. After all, we don't have enough intelligence, so we can only do this in the face of this situation. Anyway, Brother Biante won't have an accident, you don't need to worry.'" Gofidor shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Sister Thorin, you should have more important things to do now, right?"

The demons have already made a move to the east, which means that they have gone around to the east through the two small city-states south of Phothes. If the one in the east is really a trick, then the demons are likely to take action against Phochers City as well. This is the hidden meaning of Godandore's words.

Listening to Gofedor's words, Thorin was stunned, and then as if suddenly realized, she turned around and was about to leave.

As Sorin turned around, Gofedor put a clear circular sticker on Sorrin's back.

Thorin walked out quickly, and Gofedor remained where he was. She turned her head and stared at the eastern city-state closest to Phochers, which had been completely obscured by the black fog.

"Now, Lilith, did you say that the black fog really covered that city-state, or did it just interfere with our judgment?" Gofidor touched Lilith's head in her arms and said to the doll who couldn't answer herself, "If I'm not mistaken, Sister Thorin and Brother Biante are likely to encounter the core of the Demon Clan, and it seems that I should do something about it."

——————————————

"Gates, report your situation to me, and you must not miss any small details that you find strange!" Thorin walked briskly towards the west gate of Phothes, using the teleportation device to contact the captains of the guards at the gates.

"There is nothing abnormal at the North Gate!"

"There is no abnormality at the South Gate!"

"Simon...... I don't know if it's an anomaly, there's always a faint smell of blood, but we can't find out where the smell of blood comes from?"

The captains of the guards at each gate reported their location quickly and accurately to Thoren.

(In Simon?) ）

After listening to the reports of the captains of the guards, Soreen turned on the fighting spirit, relying on the speed increase brought by the fighting spirit to herself, and accelerated towards the west gate.

Soon, she came to the west gate of Phochers, and when she stopped at the gate, she couldn't help but frown.

As reported by the captain of the guard, there was a faint smell of blood.

(Isn't that right...... ）

Thorin looked around, eventually landing on the woods outside the city gates. She pulled out the long sword at her waist and walked over slowly......
