In the evening, Lei once again arrived at Wen Yu's tent, but he did not bring Marquez.
Seeing this, Wen Yu had a premonition, but Gul showed a look of disappointment on his face.
Lei first glanced at Wen Yu, then turned to Gul and explained, “I brought up the issue of the resistance army to Marquez indirectly, but he didn’t give me a straightforward response. You both know that Marquez is lazy and capricious. I didn't dare to go into too much detail for fear that he would mess up something important…”
“As for Marquez, I think we need to plan carefully.”
In such a situation, Wen Yu could naturally say nothing, while Gul, although slightly disappointed, could only nod in agreement.
“Really troubling you, Brother Lei.”
“It’s no trouble, but considering the difficulty of persuading Marquez, I think we shouldn’t focus all our efforts on this. So, Brother Gul, what do we need to do next?”
This question completely baffled Gul...
Because he had no idea what to do next.
From the destruction of the demon realm resistance organization to the spirit of the demon lord establishing concentration camps, to them being forcibly expelled from the Demon Realm, followed by Gul narrowly escaping and being saved by Marquez, and finally Gul contacting the unknown traitors and the remaining members of the resistance army here—a series of events had transpired incredibly fast, taking less than a month, and there were so many occurrences that Gul was simply too young...
In short, Gul only wanted to expand the power of the resistance army but had no concrete action plan—who could expect a child to accomplish much?
Consequently, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent...
“We should... I think...”
Gul scratched his head, at a loss, unable to form a complete sentence for a long while. Wen Yu secretly exchanged a glance with Lei, and after a moment, he patted Gul on the shoulder and whispered a couple of sentences in his ear.
“Right, we should first establish a base and then gather the demonic clan. By the way, Brother Lei, there should still be quite a few demonic creatures in Area Three, right?”
“Absolutely!”
These demonic creatures hid away; although the disturbances they caused were not significant, completely exterminating them was no small task—in fact, the military had already shifted its focus away from these demonic creatures. Just the Lone Walkers who needed points and magic crystals were enough to leave these remaining demonic creatures desperate for survival.
“Well then, Brother Lei, if we can get a continental plate, how many demonic clan members can you help me bring over?”
“Any number is fine, but the issue isn’t the number of demonic clan members; it’s about the supplies. You know, food and basic necessities are the most indispensable.”
At this point, Lei fell silent for a moment, then spoke with some confusion, “You just mentioned a continental plate, right? Can you actually get a continental plate?”
“Uh...”
Gul opened his mouth, seemingly at a loss, but after a moment, he gently nodded.
“It’s not that I... can get a continental plate, but... I think there are so many no-man's lands in the Layered Battlefield that we can take one as our... Well, I do have a specific coordinate for a continental plate.”
“It’s the continental plate number 01864 in Area Three.”
From initial hesitation to later smoothness, it was obvious that Gul first wanted to keep his “secret weapon” hidden, but facing the inquiring eyes of the two, he ultimately couldn’t withstand the pressure of lying.
“Who gave you the coordinates? Although this isn’t a big secret, lower-ranking individuals shouldn’t have access to the specific layout of the Layered Battlefield’s continental plates.”
Faced with Lei’s suspicion, Gul simply shook his head.
“I don’t know about that.”
“Alright, alright…”
Receiving a look from Wen Yu, Lei shifted the topic.
“Let’s continue talking about supplies. I can provide some supplies, but at most it’ll only be enough for about ten thousand demonic clan members. If we can bring Marquez in, we could solve supplies for another ten thousand, combining to twenty thousand. Do you think that’s enough?”
