"Based on the information available, the conclusion of the staff is roughly this-" Edith said, knocking on the table, "This arson is likely to be a ploy to attack the west." ”

"Striking the West?" said Iron Axe, mused, "you mean that the enemy's goal is not to cut off our army's supply lines?"

"The devil thinks, but they can't. Edith pointed to the map, "From the ruins of Tachira to the north of the forest terminus, the distance is longer than the railroad on the plains, more than five hundred kilometers. How much red mist do they have to carry to get to the arson zone on foot and ambush them? I think Tachira's colleagues should know this very well. ”

"If the 'blood line' is not established and there are no outposts, the army will not be able to support such a long front. Phyllis, the representative of Tachira, paused, "According to past experience, five hundred people is almost the devil's limit. ”

"The Forest Terminus is a well-fortified permanent station, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small fortress. Edith continued, "Your Majesty has long planned that if the enemy sets fire to the forest, Miss Leaf will create a safe enough barrier to keep the fire out of the site. This barrier is also a natural shooting range, there is no shelter, there is no cover, the devil wants to rush through the fire network formed by several pillboxes, 500 people are no different from sending them to death. ”

"Taking a step back, assuming they really have a way of sending the army into the Hidden Forest without supplies, then arson would be an act of exposure. "It might be better to wait until late at night to launch a direct attack—after all, the forest itself is a kind of cover, and it is easy for them to hide their movements until they enter the realm of Lord Leaf's control." ”

"Makes sense......" Iron Axe nodded, "but the front line, neither Sylvie nor Lightning nor Maisie have found any signs of the devil - if they plan to attack Tower One again, it's too late to start the operation now." ”

"It's a mystery we haven't solved yet, perhaps the enemy has come up with a new way to trick the detectives, or thrown in new weapons we've never seen before. Edith replied frankly, "But you don't have to have to be one east and one west. ”

"What do you mean...... Tower Zero?"

"Our focus now is on the front of the railway, so we can't rule it out. ”

"But the farther away you are from the front line, the more troops the devil can put into it. The iron axe was thoughtful.

That's exactly what happened. Edith affirmed.

"I see," the commander-in-chief gave the order after a moment of silence, "and when Her Royal Highness returns safely, let Heihe No. 1 go to Tower Zero, and No. 2 will cruise between Zero and One." The rest of the troops remained motionless, raising the alert level until the alert was lifted. In addition, even if it is unlikely that the devil will attack from the north side of the forest, it is better to extinguish the fire as soon as possible. He turned to look at Agatha, "Can I ask you about that?"

"Rest assured, we'll do our best. The Ice Witch responded.

"Good. The reconnaissance on the front line remains unchanged, and the main direction of defense is still the Tachira line. Miss Sylvie—"

"Leave it to me. Sylvie nodded.

The iron axe clapped his hands, "Judging from the current speed of the fire, it will probably burn to the edge of the forest terminal in the evening, if the devil doesn't know that Miss Ye Zi can isolate the sea of fire by herself, then when the sun completely sets, it should be the moment when they show their fangs." Now we have about an hour to go, so let's do it!"

......

Standing at the top of the camp's watchtower, Sylvie felt a chill on her cheeks.

The sunset is sinking into the earth, and the brilliant afterglow reflects half of the sky. The vast grassland seems to be dyed with three distinct shades, the farthest one is gold, which shines with the sun, and the closer one is red with green, and the contrast of the sky looks like a sea of purple flowers. The grass underfoot, on the other hand, has been covered in shadows and has a blue-black bias, which is also the color of night.

Such a beautiful scenery can only be seen in this endless "wild land".

However, it is also a countdown to the imminent war.

Every time the sun goes down, it means that the enemy is one step closer to them.

In this context, even the most beautiful natural scenery has faded from its beauty and become solemn and gloomy.

Sylvie turned her head to the southwest—even though the Hidden Forest wasn't within the Eye of Magic's view, she still took the time to look twice, for reasons she couldn't say, but she felt a little worried.

In retrospect, whether it is the judgment given by the General Staff or the order issued by the iron axe, there is nothing to find fault with, not to say that it is not leaky, at least calm and prudent. The devil who lacks the supply of red mist is like a nailed thread, the longer it is stretched, the weaker its strength becomes. If they were coming towards the Forest Terminus and Tower Zero, the garrison would be strong enough to hold out until reinforcements arrived. There is no doubt that it is still the front line of the railway that the enemy can devote the most forces to attack.

But why...... Is this concern lingering?

Sylvie shook his head, suppressing the distractions in his heart, and was about to scan the frontline position again, when a spot of light suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye.

Light?

How could it be——?

Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the bright light—it was bright red like a dazzling flame, leaping into view and moving rapidly toward the southern end.

Strange, is it my own dazzle?

The Eye of Magic shouldn't be able to see that far.

That's right, you can't see it - as evidenced by the large blacks in the field of view, beyond which the MONOCULUS loses its ability to see without blind spots, and retreats into a normal perspective. In a low-light and lightless environment, it is difficult to distinguish the junction between the earth and the forest, and it is basically pitch black. That's why the point of light is particularly eye-catching.

Since it wasn't an illusion, what was she seeing-

Sylvie felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet and up her back, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

She knew what she was worried about.

That's something that everyone overlooks.

What she saw was magic!

And it's an extremely large amount of magic -

The Eye's observation range is limited because it is limited by itself to spread its magic power farther. But when there is a powerful source of magic power, such fluctuations will react on the magic eye, and thus "be seen" by oneself, just like the sunlight that forcibly penetrates the closed eyelids and reflects on the pupils!

It can be directly sensed at this distance, and the magic of the comer is ...... What an astonishing point!

Cursed Demon.

There was only one name left in Sylvie's mind.

A humanoid alien in the ruins of Tachira, the commander of the devil's army. As a general, he has always been the core of the army, and when the two armies clash, the general is like a chess player, winning or losing the chess game, and rarely going shirtless.

But they ignored that the other party was also a powerful high-level devil, and he had terrifying combat power in his own right.

At this moment, the red dot's movement speed is still increasing, almost three times that of Maisie's dinosaur in flight.

From the very beginning, the other party came to target the leaves!

"Run...... Run......" Sylvie couldn't help but shout, "Run, Leaf!"
