This time, despite the large number of explosive arrows around Ace, the gunpowder has been smeared on the arrows and can no longer be used for refining.

Just as he was in trouble, there was a loud bang outside, and the earth shook.

Ace said, "You can rest here first, and I'll go out and see how it's going."

With that, he quickly walked out of the cellar.

Standing at the door of the cellar, Ace saw a huge pit appear in the ground not far away. In the pit, there was a huge burning stone, a blazing fire.

Ace looked up and saw a water mage on the far wall attacking the retreating soldiers using various water magic.

In just a few tens of seconds, Ace saw more than a dozen of these huge jets of water hit the soldiers fleeing west.

Ace said to the two men at the door, "Take care of him for me. I'll be back soon!"

After the order was given, Ace disappeared in an instant.

The next second, Ace appeared on the city wall, standing beside the archmage who was busy directing his soldiers.

Before the Grand Mage could react, he immediately used Time Stasis.

For a while, except for Ace, everyone in the world was still.

Ace knew that his time stagnation had no noticeable effect on the Grand Mage, so he quickly pulled out the Dark Dagger and stabbed the Water Grand Mage in the chest without hesitation. Then, using the space jump, he returned to the cellar door.

In the second he returned to the cellar, and the world returned to its original state, but the water mage looked down at his chest in disbelief, and blood continued to spurt out of his mouth, and then he fell weakly forward, falling off the wall!

But someone in the New Delhi army shouted, "He used time magic, and he can't use it again for a short time." We take this opportunity to kill these traitors in one fell swoop!"

By this time, New Delhi's army had already occupied the town, and their army had begun to assemble outside the West Gate, as if they didn't want Ace and the others to leave easily.

At this time, Zavalado was already worried. He saw the army of New Delhi coming to kill him. He was about to lead the warriors of the prairie into battle, but Henry stopped him in time.

Ace also shouted, "Evacuate as soon as possible, I'll cut you off!"

Ace said to the two men at the door, "Take Bardock out!"

With that, Ace disappeared again, and then stood on the pursuing route of the New Delhi army, with a dark dagger in his hand, ready to fight.

Henry was familiar with Ace. He believed that Ace could do all this, so he obeyed Ace's orders and quickly evacuated the west with his subordinates.

However, Zavarado really wanted to go back and fight to the end, because today he brought nearly 10,000 savannah warriors, but now less than half of them remain. How could he not feel sad and angry?

However, Henry kept urging him to retreat. Zavalado could only glance at Ace's back, then gritted his teeth and ran west with the survivors.

Ace had used Time Stasis once before, so he couldn't use it again.

With a wave of his right hand, he took out a dozen magic scrolls from the space bracelet, each of which was at the level of a great magician.

Ace may not have anything else, but there is no shortage of magic scrolls. Among the things that Hades left him, there are some great magician-level scrolls!

He didn't want to use these magic scrolls. After all, although there are many of them, they will run out one day. Moreover, there are some elements of magic scrolls that are not common in this world. He worries that some people will guess something.

Now, in order to cover the withdrawal of troops, he can't manage so much!

Seeing that New Delhi's army had reached 200 meters in front of him, the other side began to let the magician launch a long-range attack.

Ace crushed one of the red magic scrolls, and a huge fireball quickly gathered in front of him, charging towards the galloping New Delhi army.

Seeing this, the pursuers in New Delhi wanted to change direction. However, the speed of the fireball was even faster. With a loud bang, the fireball exploded instantly, scattering the army in New Delhi in an instant.

Countless soldiers and knights were there

The flames were so scorching that they couldn't resist at all.

Soon after, thousands of soldiers and knights were rushed to the edge of the city by the flames and slammed into the city walls. Some people are lucky and suffer only minor injuries, while others are unlucky. They were hit directly in the head and lost their lives.

The position of the mage is relatively backward, so their reaction time should be sufficient. Most magicians use magic or scrolls in time to avoid disaster.

However, there were nearly a hundred dragon knights in the sky who were not affected.

In addition, they took advantage of the flight altitude to jump over Ace and continue to pursue his army!

How can Ace make them successful?

He also tore a blue magic scroll. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds and huge hail began to fall.

Seeing this, Ace immediately picked up a shield around him and dodged the hail.

Unfortunately for those dragon knights who are high in the sky, the hail in the air falls very quickly, which makes it difficult for them to predict. Soon, they saw dozens of dragon knights hit by hail and fell directly.

The wyverns roared and fluttered their wings, trying to fly again, but it was in vain, because the hail was falling too fast for the wyvern to fly.

Ace stood more than a thousand meters away, feeling the hail constantly falling in all directions, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was shocked.

He had never imagined that an ice-based magic scroll would have such power!

However, there were still a dozen dragon knights who managed to quickly fly west from the borrowed cover.

Ace snorted coldly, then recited the incantation. Suddenly, countless dark spikes appeared around him, and they rushed into the sky, trying to stop the fleeing dragon knights.

However, the Wyvern is still agile in the sky. Except for the two dragon knights who were pierced by the dark spikes, the other 12 dragon knights managed to break through the siege and continued to pursue westward.

Ace saw New Delhi's army rush out of the city. He knew that if he continued to drag on like this, he might really give his life here.

After all, no matter how strong he is, he still looks too weak in the face of thousands of troops. After all, he's not really a great magician!

Even if the opponent uses a roundabout tactic, you can still kill alive!

He turned to look at the expeditionary troops, and then crushed the last gray scroll.

A deafening sound suddenly rang out. Ace saw the space in front of him distorted by vibrating sound waves. Although he was behind the vibrating sound waves, his ears were still aching from the loud noise and he couldn't help but cover his ears.

It turned out to be a magical sonic scroll, and this was the first time Ace had seen it!

The vibrating sound waves made all the dragon knights and pursuers tremble and cry in pain.

Two dragon knights even died on the spot. They fell from the sky and fell into pulp.

Ace guessed that the sound wave shattered the internal organs of the two wyverns, causing them to die without resistance!

Soon after, the dragon knights in the sky also fell, and the entire army was about to be destroyed.

Although Ace's ears hurt, he was surprised to find that there was such a powerful scroll on the space bracelet.

Unfortunately, Ace only has two of these sonic scrolls. Now he used one, and only the last one remained.

Ace traveled in the opposite direction of the sound waves, and he felt the roar of his ears. It's hard to imagine what a terrible sonic wave those New Delhi pursuers who rushed to the front had to face!

At this point, Ace didn't have time to think about it anymore. Seeing that the pursuers in New Delhi were successfully stopped by himself, he immediately took advantage of the open space to pursue his troops.

Shortly after Ace escaped from here, a figure resembling an arrow rushed from the bow of the ship to where Ace had been.

The red-haired man is Chinobi, the current commander of the New Delhi Empire.

"Hmph, this little bastard is a fast runner. If it's a few seconds at night, I'll be able to kill you!" Chinobi muttered to himself.

The sound waves around him hadn't completely dissipated, but Chinobi hadn't noticed. It seems that those sound waves will not hurt him at all.

This time, Chinobi came here in person. It seems that the war between the two sides will officially begin!

Ace soon joined his army and then led the army westward.

Along the way, Ace constantly sent people to the surrounding cities, ordering everyone to return to Yalijiang Province.

Ever since Ace learned that "there was a deal between the New Delhi Empire and the Devil", he was very worried and wanted everyone to leave this place as soon as possible.

He has always believed that the planning of the New Delhi empire this time is not simple. If they don't prepare in time, there could be big problems!

As for what the deal between the Empire and the Demon is, it doesn't matter at the moment. After all, the army in New Delhi had already begun to step in, which showed that the secrets of the Warcraft Mountains were no longer so secret at this point.

If Ace's army continues to be stationed on the border of Sharp Province, then the "backyard fire" is inevitable!

As a great gift, there is no reason why the New Delhi Empire should not accept it! In addition, there is one of the most important figures, and that is Ace.

In the eyes of everyone in the New Delhi Empire, as long as Ace died, the Yali River, the Black Bull, the Prairie, and even the alliance between the Dwarven Kingdom and the Ancient Forest would collapse.

After all, Ace is the key to the unity of all parties. He was a central figure in the entire league. Ace is at a high position in the entire league.

Especially in the savannah, thanks to Ace's help, the sub-people have been living a hard life for thousands of years, and they have changed their predicament.

In the savannah, Ace is so revered that some even see him as a savior sent by heaven!

Although many of the rumors are obviously exaggerated, it is enough to see how amazing Ace's reputation in the savannah is.

Ace's army was stationed in several surrounding cities, and it took just over three hours to quickly march to the western province of Yalijiang. Ace specifically asked all the troops to return there on their own, but in order to save time, Ace did not choose to meet first, fearing that the pursuers in New Delhi would continue their relentless pursuit.

It was late, but Ace's army didn't stop. Instead, they continue to travel in the dark.

It is said that it is very dark. In fact, there are several fire mages on the team who can use fire magic to "detect fireballs" for lighting.

Over the years, Ace's team has neglected the magic of the Holy Light system, resulting in a lack of Holy Light Mages in the army. On the other hand, alchemy was greatly promoted!

Especially under the guidance of Arak, a large number of alchemists have been trained in recent years. They were assigned to the army and gradually took the place of the Holy Light Mage.

With the help of alchemists, the soldiers hardly get hurt, because alchemists can create various drugs to strengthen the body, not only the body, but also willpower!

On the battlefield, sometimes the role of willpower is very important, especially in a decisive battle that is a matter of life and death. When the strength of the two sides is not much different, it often affects the scale of victory!

Seeing the red ball of light moving rapidly, illuminating the path ahead of the army and speeding up the march to a certain extent.

But in this way, the retreating army will stand out even more in the dark. In order to evade the pursuit of the New Delhi army, Ace flew high into the air and used the dragons' exploration skills to monitor everything within a radius of tens of miles.

Henry also took to the skies with the magical blessing of the "Wings of the Wind".

"Ace? What does New Delhi have to do with the devil?" Henry couldn't help but ask.

Ace shook his head, "I don't know, and I don't understand. Since this is a trade, both sides must have their own chips. I can imagine that New Delhi hopes that the devil will help them destroy our alliance. And what is the price of New Delhi?"

Ace never understood this!

Henry frowned, "Chips for the Empire? Do you think this is a demonic faith?"

Ace was dumbfounded, turned to look at Henry, and said, "You mean the King of the Abyss needs a lot of faith to help him break the seal and reappear in the world?"

Henry was a little unsure, "I'm just guessing."

Ace thought about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Looks serious:

"You're very likely to be right!"

"Come to think of it, this so-called King of the Abyss, who actually woke up a few years ago, but so far, he has not been freed from the seal, maybe because he lacks the power of faith in the world?"

When Ace spoke, he recalled that when the God of Light came into this world, there were also countless New Delhi devotees praying for it. In conclusion, the arrival of the God of Light at that time also seems to depend on the faith of the believers.

Ace speculates that all powerful creatures that want to cross the chasm between the two worlds need to establish a connection point in advance. One is the material plane, such as the Gate of the Abyss, and the other is the spiritual plane, such as the human belief in the King of the Abyss!

Once the King of the Abyss has these two connection points, he can easily break the seal and truly come into this world. At that time, it will definitely be a great catastrophe for the entire Mandala continent.

Thinking of this, Ace felt a wave of fear, and couldn't help but curse, "This madman, doing whatever it takes to get his desires!"

Henry was at a loss. Of course, he didn't know what Ace was guessing. As for the "power of faith", he only mentioned it casually without thinking about it.

But Henry's words allowed Ace to grasp one of the key clues!

"We should meet as soon as possible, we need to discuss something very important!" Ace said coldly, his face looking a little gloomy in the darkness.

Seeing Ace's anxious expression, Henry also hurriedly urged, "Everyone, hurry up, try to go to the Hunter's Wasteland the day after tomorrow!"

The Hunter Wasteland is the border area of the two provinces of Sharp and Yali River, and it is also the place where the most small *** has occurred in recent years.

As long as the army reaches the Hunter Wasteland, it is basically equivalent to reaching Yalijiang Province.

The reason why they came back so quickly this time was that they had already occupied all the passages here, so they were not hindered in their retreat.

However, Ace didn't know that the rear was not peaceful for a long time, and strange things kept happening!

"Sir, there was another disappearance at the ranch just now, but so far, no body has been found!" A man in a tight black robe said to the old man in the camp.

The old man's face was calm, and his eyes were too deep to see through his heart. This man is none other than Snoopy, the "invisible hand", and now the *** of the "Thorn Rose".

"Oh, I see. Go down first!" Snoopy waves at the Spy.

After the Spy left, Snoopy turned around, looked at his grandson, and asked, "Drew, what do you think of this?"

Drew had just returned from Yali River Province, and he had come to his grandfather for the first time.

Drew looked down for a moment and said, "So far, I have two guesses. First, these people were killed or robbed by some unknown creature. Secondly, they were killed by murderers in New Delhi."

At this point, Drew couldn't help but look at his grandfather, as if waiting for his grandfather's response.

Snoopy looked at the many secret letters on the table and said calmly, "Go on."

Drew continued, "I don't think the second option is very likely. Because judging by the identities of these dead or missing, the murderers of New Delhi are not enough to attack these people. Butchers, herdsmen, bartenders, merchants, and even a few private traders in New Delhi, these people do not deserve to be killed."

"So, I generally think the first possibility is relatively high."

Snoopy looked at the information he had gathered earlier and said, "Do you have a rough guess about the reason behind this?"

"Grandfather, even though similar incidents have been happening for three days in a row, so far I haven't seen any bodies, so I can't tell," Drew said.

Snoopy nodded, then clapped his hands at the door and said, "Come in!"

Soon, several strong men from the subhuman tribe came in carrying the body of a skinny child.

They placed the bodies on the ground, saluted Snoopy and Drew, and walked out of the camp.

When Drew saw the child's corpse, his eyes were filled with fear: "It's, it's demonic breath!"

Drew stroked the poor man with his palm

The child's face was dark and shriveled, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. The boy's dry face gave off a strange black aura. His mouth was open, his tongue was completely retracted, his teeth were dry and black, and his lips were shrunk into insignificance.

The most terrible thing was his terrible eyes, all black and shriveled. From the last rays of light, Drew saw endless pain and despair.

"Are you sure?" Snoopy asked.

Drew nodded without hesitation: "Grandpa, when I fought on the mountains of the Warcraft Mountain Range, I fought with demons for three years and knew their habits very well, because I had seen too many similar deaths in the mountains of the Warcraft Mountain Range to admit that I could not admit it."

At this time, Drew couldn't help but close his eyes, but countless terrible images appeared in his mind: on the bloody battlefield, there were countless corpses, full of black gas, and the appearance of death was extremely ugly!

These are all things that Drew personally experienced in the Warcraft Mountains back then. Now, the past seemed to recur again, constantly repeating itself in his mind, feeling tightness in his chest.

Later, Drew slowly opened the child's clothes and saw a strange black handprint on his chest and very thin fingers.

"This should be the means of Soul Obilis!" Drew's expression was filled with anger and hatred.

Such a young child, only a real demon would attack him!

Snoopy sighed, "I guessed it might be a demon. Now that you're so sure, it means that the strange events that have happened recently must be inextricably linked to the demons."

Drew's palms trembled, gently caressing the child's thin face, and said tremblingly, "The child was tortured before he died, his soul was completely devoured by the soul Obilis, and in his extreme soberness, I can imagine how frightened and desperate he was at that time."

By this time, Drew's eyes were already red, and tears were already flowing out.

Snoopy stood up, walked over to Drew, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, "Hey, don't be upset. I looked it up. The child's father died a few years ago, and the mother followed him! He's had a terrible life all these years, and it could have been a relief for him. At least he can go to heaven and see his parents."

After a long time, Drew slowly recovered, closed the poor boy's eyes, stood up and asked, "Grandpa, how many victims are there now?"

Snoopy said: "Based on the information I have received now, 30 people are missing and dead! The most important thing is that these people are not concentrated in one place."

Drew twisted his eyebrows and said, "You mean there's more than one demon on the prairie?"

Snoopy didn't nod or deny, but said, "I'm not sure. Perhaps this demon is cunning and deliberately looks for prey in different places. Maybe that's the case."

Drew nodded slightly, "It's possible, after all, Soul Obilis' speed is very fast, even comparable to that of a high-level wind mage!"

At this point, Drew asked, "Grandpa, how many of these corpses do you have here?"

Snoopy replied, "Including this one, there are only three at the moment."

Drew then said, "Can they bring in the other two bodies?"

Snoopy clapped his hands again, "Bring them in!"

Soon, the other two bodies were also carried to Drew.

The two bodies were adults, a man and a woman, and their faces were almost identical to those of boys.

However, Drew soon spotted the problem.

He seemed to see something in the woman's forehead. He immediately crouched down and gently opened the woman's face. Upon closer inspection, he found a very inconspicuous hole in her temple.

Drew's eyes suddenly became cold.

Snoopy couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong?"

Drew pointed to the hole and said, "This is from another demon. It can see through human desires and fears, and it likes to suck our brains."
