The Nightmare Plane was full of energy interference, so after Raymond's attempt to establish contact with Gracie failed, he switched his target to people he knew who were more familiar.

Gatsby, who first met after entering the Nightmare Plane, cannot be contacted.

Ms. Meredith, who was originally known as the 'Guardian of Hurricane City' of the Northern Frontier Alliance, was also in a state of communication silence.

It's just that when he tried to contact Clement, the leader of the Third Legion under the Children of Icewind, Eternal Night, the spell was connected with a slight flash.

"Raymond, it's really you! I wondered if the name was wrong after I learned that the threat had been lifted......

The first time he saw Raymond, Clement, who had a look of surprise on his face, shouted, and as he spoke a little messily, Raymond realized that the Third Army he led was stationed in a place called Maine City.

"Lord Raymond, it seems that I will need to call you by honorific titles in the future, I really didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly over the years, it is even more amazing and awe-inspiring than Lord Eternal Night's past experience......"

Clement, the commander of the Third Legion, who has the same name as Cryment, the wizard plane ringed seal, made Raymond a little embarrassed by his exclamation, this guy was sent to the Valley of the Wind by Eternal Night for his reasons, and the guide lost the opportunity to be the first batch to cross the wind to attack the vertical pupil.

Although the relationship was not close back then, it caused some trouble to him because of his own reasons, so Raymond also mentioned it and apologized vaguely.

Legion Commander Clement, who was called the 'most forgiving' under Eternal Night, was initially surprised and confused by Raymond's apology. He seemed to have forgotten about it a long time ago, and after thinking about it suspiciously for a long time, he finally barely remembered it in Raymond's physical reminder. So he explained with some shame. "Lord Raymond, I really forgot about it. That's why 'the most tolerant' is what I get, because my memory has never been good, so even the orders given to me by Lord Eternal Night can only be relatively simple, otherwise I wouldn't even be qualified to be the commander of the legion......"

When Clement said this, Raymond understood the reason, and after a pause, he burst out laughing.

Since the commander of the Third Legion under Clement's command was in the central part of the Nightmare Plane, where humans gathered, he simply teleported over after asking for the coordinates of his plane, because he still remembered. The mission of the House of Shadows was to give the potion refined by the House of Shadows to a human from Maine City called Haimen.

Raymond, who teleported to Clement's garrison, saw a continuous array of tents and various lights formed by various force field barriers.

Clement, who was waiting for him here, with only a few guards, bowed very respectfully when he saw him appear. "Dear Lord Raymond, welcome to the Nightmare Plane once again, Lord Eternal Night, upon learning of your coming, would like you to travel to the Far North at your leisure. Eternal Night-sama would like to be able to communicate with you privately......"

"Eternal Night?

"Yes, only the runic array within the Tongguò Legion can communicate with the Far North, and the tasks I have accepted are all issued by Lord Eternal Night, and the interference caused by the outlets that separate the Northern Frontier from the Far North is really a headache. If it weren't for the difficulty of the Wind Guardians stationed there, the Far North would have taken the Northern Frontier under its control......"

Clement, who introduced Raymond and the others to his barracks while explaining, appeared enthusiastic and relaxed. It was only through his narration that Raymond was aware of the recent developments in the Nightmare Plane.

Just a few days ago, the army of vertical pupils that occupied the northern frontier of the Nightmare Plane had reappeared after its commanders had fallen overnight. A large number of mid-level vertical pupils died inexplicably, so that the major legions from the Far North who were ready to launch the final purge against them. It was decided to halt the assault for the time being, and to observe whether the high-level vertical pupils in his army would also die in large numbers.

"If the remnants of the pupils can die due to the passage of time, then we don't need to pay any more price to wipe them out, so for now, we just need to make sure that they don't break through the blockade......

It was very casual to tell the strategy adopted by the current Far North coalition forces, and Clement's ease was understood by Raymond.

As Clement entered his barracks, Raymond saw the burly Sergeants of the Children of Nightmares, as well as ordinary humans who seemed to be enslaved within his barracks.

Sensing Raymond's attention, Clement, who had stopped, pointed to the ordinary humans who were shuttling around the barracks. "Lord Raymond, these ordinary humans are all residents of nearby Maine City, although the human flesh is still delicious, but in fact they are hired, and the cooking methods of ordinary humans are irresistible to the Children of Nightmares, so you don't think they are being oppressed, in fact, they will not be attacked by those Ash People here, so it is safer than staying in Maine City!"

Thinking of the essence of the Ashes that the House of Shadows needed before, Raymond couldn't help but wonder. "Could it be that there are a lot of Ash People near Maine City?"

"Yes, the Ash People who belong to the advanced body are gathered in large numbers around the human city, because they themselves are formed by humans who died for some special reason, so the middle of the Nightmare Plane can be occupied by humans for a long time, and it will not attract too many attacks from all forces, and the fundamental reason is that the essence of the Ash People needs to be cultivated and collected......"

Clement's explanation finally reveals the reason why humans in the nightmare plane can survive for a long time, and although it sounds a little cruel, it is quite consistent with the characteristics of the nightmare plane.

It's just that Adolf, who followed Raymond all the way to Clement's tent, became more and more sympathetic because of this, and his gaze towards those ordinary humans also seemed a little particularly pitiful, which made the one-eyed sandman Shariman seize the opportunity and laugh fiercely.

The grand welcome reception hosted by Clement made Raymond feel his enthusiasm and respect, and Becky, who was even higher than Clement, was even more frightened by Clement's subordinates after revealing his identity, and they hid out one after another after stepping forward to salute, which made Becky very depressed.

After cautiously inquiring about Becky's origin, Clement came to Becky to explain. "Lady Becky, please forgive them for their fears, the True Spirit is a powerful and extremely irresistible existence for the Children of Nightmares, Lord Eternal Night has suffered the loss of the True Spirit Clan back then, so this kind of expression just now can be understood......"

Becky, who had recovered her normal shape, was very annoyed by the attitude of those Nightmare Sons before, and after understanding the reason, she turned her gaze to Raymond speechlessly, and said in a very depressed voice. "My lord, although the True Spirit Clan prefers to enter the Void Space to hunt, I don't know that the reputation of the True Spirit Clan will be so bad......"

Raymond, who habitually wanted to ruffle his hair, only came to his senses under Becky's glaring before his palm touched the top of his head, and his palm slid down on his shoulder and smiled. "The reputation of the true spirits was obtained after many battles, presumably the true spirits should not feel depressed because of it, but should be proud to ......."

Becky, who was ridiculed, became more and more dissatisfied, and after shaking off the palm on his shoulder, he pulled the one-eyed sandman Shariman and Adolf and hid aside.

After chatting with Clement for a long time, Raymond summoned them in a move when he saw a few humans who did not look like cooks passing in front of the tent, and asked about the condition of the human Seagate, which was supposed to belong to Maine City.

Belonging to the ordinary humans who served Clement, most of them were very confused about Raymond's name but the name was very confused, except for one of the women who immediately became nervous...... (To be continued......)
