Snoopy frowned, "You mean there's another kind of demon? What's that?"

Drew said coldly, "This is more terrible and harder to deal with than Soul Obilis—Greedy Obilis!"

Late that night, Snoopy, the "invisible hand", received an urgent secret letter with only one sentence: "There is a deal between the New Delhi Empire and the Devil!"

Although it was only a short sentence, Snoopy's heart sank.

Recalling the news from all over the world during this time, he basically concluded that the demons that had happened recently must have something to do with the New Delhi Empire!

Otherwise, how could these two things happen at the same time?

In just one night, there were more than a dozen secret letters on Snoopy's desk, that is, more than a dozen living lives, which disappeared overnight!

In terms of numbers, the demons seem to be getting more and more rampant and bold.

As we all know, demons are naturally bloodthirsty and greedy, and their desires are also a bottomless pit. Once they start devouring human souls or sucking human brains, it will be difficult for them to stop, and their greedy nature will be more and more exposed.

However, even then, they are very careful when committing crimes. Even after killing and devouring their prey, they do not discard the corpse at will for fear of being discovered by the Thorn Rose spies, which is why most of the missing people are not found.

However, after a long time, the corpses always smelled, so the spies of Thornrose finally found a trace.

While these demons are not afraid of any Thorn Rose, the leader of the demons should tell them beforehand not to expose them too soon.

However, their desires are too strong to control their bloodthirsty nature.

Another letter is about Ace leading the army back to Yali River. According to the letter, Ace's exit this time is also related to the deal between the New Delhi Empire and the Devil.

Snoopy looked at the secret letter on the table, sighed, and then slowly stood up and walked out of the tent.

At this time, his eyes were red, and he had apparently not slept all night, trying to find out the whereabouts of the demon.

However, demons are cunning and always choose different places to look for their prey, which makes it difficult for Ace to know his whereabouts.

Snoopy stood at the camp gate, looking at the slightly white sky to the east. It was dawn and soon dawn.

At this point, his mind was in turmoil. I thought about it all night, but he still didn't know what was going on inside. Where exactly are these demons hiding?

The whole savannah is too big. It seems unrealistic to carry out a large-scale attack.

There are countless hills and ravines in the steppe. In some places, there are mountains, and there are even many cliffs and valleys. It's not easy to search in all directions.

The more Snoopy thought about it, the more uncomfortable and irritated he became. He couldn't help but cover his head with his hands and squatted on the ground. Even the cool breeze in the morning didn't keep him awake.

Snoopy looked at the grass on the ground and suddenly noticed a swarm of ants crawling out of their holes in the ground, marching neatly in the same direction, as if they were going to bring food.

Snoopy immediately stood up, his eyes shining, and muttered to himself, "Where do demons like to hide? Where are we not easy to find it? Naturally, it's underground!"

"Since they want to hide underground, they shouldn't be too far away from the cave when they come out to do activities!"

With this in mind, Snoopy rushed back to camp. He took out a blank piece of paper, opened all the secret letters, and drew the approximate location of all the corpses on the blank paper.

When he marked the locations of the more than 30 victims he had found in recent days, he was shocked to find that although the locations were not exactly in the same area, they essentially surrounded the three centers.

Snoopy also brought a map of the prairie that corresponded to the locations drawn on the white paper. He found these three places close to the three most prosperous cities of the savannah.

Snoopy thought for a moment and whispered, "So these demons should be divided into three groups, in these three different places."

Snoopy glanced at the three dots on the white paper again, almost showing a regular triangle pattern, and his judgment became more certain!

"Why is it a symmetrical triangle?" Snoopy quickly fell into a state of deep thought.

He glanced at the design on the table again, looked at the map, and saw that there was a hill in the center of the triangle!

This is a very important find! Demons don't like sunlight, but prefer to hide in the dark. While they can act during the day, prefer nights without sunlight!

Such hills are indeed the best place to live!

However, this does not mean that all the demons are concentrated there. After all, according to the distribution of missing people, there should also be demon gathering points near the three most prosperous cities.

Thinking of this, he quickly picked up a piece of paper and wrote a secret letter, ready to tell Ace his guess and let him judge whether he should be vigilant or not!

After writing the letter, he quickly handed it to the agent of Thorn Rose, and said solemnly: "It is very important to send the letter to Yalijiang Province as soon as possible, if there is a problem in the middle, the consequences will be very serious!"

The spy nodded solemnly and quickly disappeared outside the camp. It turns out that he is also a dark magician.

In the past, Snoopy always felt at ease because the dark mage was delivering messages. After all, their whereabouts are strange and difficult for ordinary people to detect.

But now it's completely different, because the demons have quietly invaded the savannah.

He knew that demons were sensitive to the breath of all living beings, and even unseen dark mages could not escape their search.

Now, Snoopy can only pray that this spy won't be discovered by the demon!

He could have used the Eagle to deliver the message. After all, it can fly into the sky and the devil is almost imperceptible.

But not long ago, Xuan Ying flew to the Dwarven Kingdom to deliver a message. So far, none have returned.

At this time, Snoopy suddenly heard thunder!

He looked up outside the camp and saw that it was still daylight, but a thunderstorm suddenly hit, which made him very upset.

Snoopy sighed and said to himself, "I hope everything goes well and nothing goes wrong!"

At this time, the thunder outside the camp was flickering. From time to time, thunder rang out in the sky. I don't know how long it will rain!

Later the day after the retreat, Ace finally returned to the place where the Yali River and Sharp converged.

When he saw a large number of savannah warriors and dwarves on the mountain, he felt very relieved.

It seems that they returned in time, at least successfully rendezvous.

Soon after Ace joined forces with the savannah and the dwarves, more than a dozen other troops also arrived.

After recounting the number of the group, they learned that the 100,000 soldiers that Ace had brought to Sharp Province had finally returned.

That is, about 34,000 people died heroically in this battle!

This is not a small amount for the alliance formed by Ace!

After all, compared to the population density of the New Delhi Empire, the three provinces of Yali River, Savannah, and Black Bull are sparsely populated, and the Dwarven Kingdom and Elemental Kingdom Terraria are even more sparsely populated, which is incomparable to the New Delhi Kingdom.

Therefore, Ace is still very saddened by such a war ruin. Even wondering if he really shouldn't start this war.

However, judging by the information obtained, it seems that what he did was worth it.

Ace knew that the empire and the demons had reached a consensus, and at least he could make some preparations in advance, and when things happened, he wouldn't be overwhelmed.

If this is true, there will definitely be more deaths.

When Ace saw that the army had been assembled, he ordered everyone to cross the mountains and return to the territory of Yalijiang Province.

At this moment, a dwarven knight sat on a small pony and slowly walked towards Ace.

This person is none other than Ridar Stark, the brother of Ace's teacher, Ari Stark.

Ace didn't expect King Sumeru to send his own son this time, which is enough to show how seriously the dwarf king thinks of Ace.

You know, Ridal is one of the strongest dwarven warriors in the dwarven kingdom. For many years, he often led dwarven armies in the western part of the Dwarven Mountains

The walls of the border fought with the savages.

In the wars that have broken out in recent years, Ridar has achieved outstanding results in the war. He was stronger than anyone else in the dwarven army.

Although the wildlings are thicker than the dwarves, Ridar is famous among them. Almost everyone knows such a great dwarven warrior.

Ridal stood in front of Ace and said, "You've been in for a day and a night. If you keep climbing this mountain, some people may not be able to hold on."

Ace knew that Ridal's words were correct and reasonable. However, when Ace thought of the words "Demon", "Empire", and "Deal", his heart became uneasy, like countless ants crawling on his heart, making him unable to rest at all.

Seeing Ace's hesitation, Ridal frowned and said, "Don't worry. You can rest here for the night. I will lead the soldiers of the dwarves to protect you. You are guaranteed that you will not be in any danger! After so many years of fighting the wildlings, would I be afraid of those New Delhi imperial soft-eggs?"

Ace hesitated for a moment, then pulled Ridar aside and whispered, "This time, the situation is special. We have to face not only the armies of the New Delhi Empire, but also the demons!"

Ridal's eyes flashed with a strange look: "Demon? Do you mean the real demons? Is it a demonic invasion that erupted in the Warcraft Mountain Range?"

Ace nodded, "Yes! Based on the information we have, the New Delhi Empire may have reached some sort of agreement with the demons."

Ridal's eyes were cold. "You're saying those fools formed an alliance with the demons?"

Ace said in a deep voice, "It should be said that it is more accurate to use each other!"

Ridal looked contemptuous and contemptuous: "A silly fork is a silly fork after all. If they have this ability, they can fight our dwarven army. To unite with a demon is to seek the skin of a tiger!"

Ace sighed, "So, I hope everyone returns to the big camp as soon as possible!"

Ridal waved his hand nonchalantly, "No, you can rest. I'm watching here. Don't worry!"

Ace looked confused. He didn't know why Ridal was so confident.

Seeing that Ace was still not relieved, Ridal turned around and shouted to the dwarves behind him, "Dwarven warriors, show your strength!"

Under the command, there are countless lights on the hillside. With the help of the lights, Ace saw a large number of tall weapons neatly arranged on the hillside, a bit like a moving tower.

From top to bottom, there are more than 10 holes above the "tower". In each hole, there was a cannon shot, aimed at the distance.

Not only that, but at the top of the "tower", there are three dwarven soldiers, each of whom controls the wheel in their hands, as if they can control the movement and direction of the "tower".

"Come on, let's see the essence of our dwarven wisdom!" Ridal laughed.

Soon, a flame ignited on dozens of huge objects.

A "boom" sounded, all the guns lit up, and hundreds of shells flew out at the same time.

After that, the earth shook and hundreds of huge craters appeared in the remote wasteland. The ground that had been flat suddenly became messy and uneven.

Ace glanced at Dahl, and Ridal smiled and said, "Anyway, this is the territory of the New Delhi Empire. We're just causing some trouble for them, and it's going to slow them down!"

Before Ace could react, Ridal shouted, "There's something new!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a "whoosh" sound. Countless arrows carried clumps of nameless powder landed smoothly on the distant plains.

"Bang!"

Although the distance was greater, this time the explosion was louder. Mainly, countless huge stones and soil were blown up, forming a huge explosion in the air!!

Look at the ground again. A hill more than ten meters wide and seven or eight meters deep has been formed!

Ace never thought that such an unremarkably unrecognizable arrow would have such terrifying power!

With Ridal's repeated reassurances, Ace glanced at the exhausted soldier behind him again, and nodded.

Now that the main forces have converged and almost reached the border of Yalijiang Province, there should be no major problems.

Late at night, Ace didn't rest. After all, such a large team needed rest, and he couldn't sleep safely. It wasn't until the arrival of the "Shining Knight" in the second half of the night that Ace's nervousness was completely relaxed.

In this way, even if the New Delhi army chooses to sneak up at night, the "Shining Knight" can use the magic of time and space to buy the most crucial time for himself.

He's really tired these days. In the previous war, he had expended a great deal of mental strength, making his already exhausted body even weaker. It is true that adequate sleep is needed to relieve the double fatigue of the body and mind.

So, after lying down for a few minutes, Ace quickly fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already dawn, the eastern sky was bright red, and the sun was about to rise.

Ace walked to the top of the hill and looked east. Using the dragons' reconnaissance skills, he found no suspicious targets within a hundred miles. Then, taking a long breath, he came to guard Ridal.

"Look at you. Must have stayed up late. Do you need to rest before you go?" Ace asked with concern.

Ridal smiled gently, "I'm used to it! Battles with wild people in the city usually lasted two or three days. If I rest, who will command?"

Ace asked curiously, "I've often heard stories about the Great Wall and the Savages. Can you tell me a little bit about it? I don't really know much about it."

Ridal looked at the hammer in his hand and said, "This hammer has been with me for years. It was forged for me by my father himself. My father's meaning is clear, he wants me to protect our empire."

Ace looked confused. Ridal's answer was beyond his comprehension.

Ridal looked back and said, "I've been guarding the Dwarven Kingdom for so many years. My dad doesn't seem to have changed much about how he feels about me. On the contrary, he has been thinking about a son who has not been home for more than ten years."

Ace knew that the person Ridal was talking about was supposed to be his teacher, Stark.

After battling the dragon, Ari chose to stay in Sun City instead of returning to the Dwarven Kingdom.

Ridal looked a little lonely: "No matter how well I've done over the years, in my father's eyes, it seems like I've never been better than my brother. Even though I have performed well in the war and have a high prestige."

"In his opinion, I can only be a qualified general, not a qualified king. He said, "I am too cold to be the head of a country, because it will bring disaster to the dwarven kingdom."

Hearing this, Ace's face changed completely. He really didn't understand why Ridal was talking to himself about this?

Ignoring Ace's anomaly, Ridal continued, "In fact, I will have resentment and jealousy in my heart, which has been suppressed, and then go to the battlefield to vent all my anger and dissatisfaction on the enemy."

As he spoke, Ridal lightly touched the war hammer in his hand, "My hammer has killed countless wildlings! Their souls are witnesses to my wrath."

Ace saw an unusual light in Ridal's eyes, a calm of indifference to life, death, and everything.

Ace couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to be king?"

Without hesitation, Ridal shook his head, "No, I'm not interested at all."

Ace was a little shocked. He thinks that Ridal should want to be the king of the dwarves, otherwise how could he have so many complaints?

But a simple smile appeared on Ridal's face: "There is no good in being king. There will always be all sorts of troubles. It's tiring to run the whole kingdom."

Ridal smiled and turned to look at Ace. "Do you think I'm inconsistent? I resent Ari. But you don't want to be a king?"

Ridal laughed this time, "Actually, all I need is my father's affirmation."

Ace was a little surprised. "Is it that simple?"

Ridal nodded, "Yes, it's easy. In fact, it was clear to me that I was not fit to be a king at all, I was only fit to fight. But I want to be recognized by others, especially my father."

"Even if he told me that my brother and I had a chance to become kings, I would be happy. In fact, even if my father wanted to pass the throne to me, I would definitely refuse because I knew it didn't mean anything to me and I wasn't suitable."

After saying this, Ridal smiled at Ace and said, "Do you think it's strange for me to mention this to you?"

Ace blinked, waiting for an answer.

But Ridal explains, "Because you're Ari's only student and his favorite successor. It's not convenient for me to tell him something directly. I'm telling you these things so that he understands that I'm not going to compete with him for the throne and he doesn't have to worry."

Ace said ashamedly, "It seems to me that the teacher doesn't want to be a king either!"

Ridalton laughed, "Do you think so too? Hahaha, actually, I think so too. However, he has no choice, so I will not be king."

"As for the Great Wall, you can see it for yourself. When you see it, you understand everything. If you ask me to explain slowly, it will probably exhaust me to death!"

With that, Ridal left alone.

Ace was speechless. The princes of other empires would fight each other for the throne, and some would even kill each other. However, it is very strange that in the kingdom of the dwarves, no one wants to sit on the throne.

However, in this way, the dwarven kingdom avoided the tragedy of siblings killing each other. Is this a good or bad thing for the Dwarven Kingdom? Ace can't really judge.

Shortly after the army departed, Ace received a secret letter from the prairie. The letter was sent by a dark mage.

But at this point, the spy was seriously injured and one of his palms was missing!!

Ace looked at the spy of the Thornrose and he was angry,

It turned out that the spy was chased by a demon in the process of delivering the message! At the cost of a palm, he escaped.

Seeing how miserable this spy is, Ace vows never to stop the war between himself and New Delhi and the devil, even those who work hard!

Ace did not rush to open the secret letter, but first bandaged the dark mage's wound and smeared the wound with alchemical medicine. This left the dark mage a little overwhelmed. Although he had heard that Ace was more approachable, after all, Ace was the leader of the entire alliance, and the dark mage was somewhat flattered.

After helping him deal with his wounds, Ace comforted him a few words and opened the secret letter.

After reading the secret letter, his face became solemn.

When Henry saw it, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Ace whispered, "We may have guessed wrong. The main battlefield of this war may not be the province of Sharpness!"

Zavalado asked, "They want to put the battlefield in Yalijiang Province?" It depends on whether they are capable or not! After all, Yalijiang Province is also a place where we have a heavy army. How can it be easily attacked?"

Ace shook his head: "It's not Yali River either!"

Henry and Zavalado looked at each other, their faces blank.

"Sharp and Yali Jiang don't want to, do they still want to put the main battlefield in our backyard? The savannah?" At this point, Zavarado finds it interesting.

However, Ace's serious expression froze Zavalado's smile.

"How is this possible?" Zavalado's face is incredible.

Henry also frowned and said, "Even if they really want to put the battlefield on the prairie, they need to strike at Yalijiang Province first!"

Ace still shook his head, "No! They don't need to!"

Henry was confused, "Will they use airships to fly?" Even then, we can intercept the airship!"

Ace pointed to the ground, "Not from the sky, but from the earth!"

Henry and Zavalado said in unison.

Ace nodded, "This is from underground! I just received a confidential letter from Snoopy about the recent spate of disappearances and deaths in the Prairie. All indications are that the devil did all this!"
