“Shh, Er Dan, quiet down.”
Little White's voice reached Er Dan's ear, causing him to involuntarily tense his body. Just then, the ground ahead trembled violently, and a mass of indistinct mud and debris rushed past from a short distance ahead before quickly moving away.
“Ha…”
Er Dan let out a long sigh, and it wasn't until Little White arrived beside him that he exclaimed with admiration on his face, “Big boss, you’re truly amazing…”
Little White simply smiled and shook his head, gently tapping his own head. “It's intuition, yes, it belongs to some kind of intuition. In short, I can perceive the fluctuations of those things' auras.”
Er Dan sighed and stuck out his tongue. “If it weren’t for your ability, big boss, I’m afraid, sigh…”
The long sigh seemed to recount the painful experiences of their flight over the past few days—when Lord Sig fell in battle, the demonic creatures on the first battlefield immediately collapsed. The skeleton legion, led by Little White, broke through but suffered heavy losses under the pursuit of the massive soul puppet legion!
The commanders of the First and Second Legions had already perished during the breakout phase, and the commanders of the Third and Fourth Legions did not fare much better—continuous pursuit required a portion of soldiers to hold back the enemy.
This is called damage control, sacrificing the small self for the greater good. From a tactical perspective, there was nothing wrong with it.
In fact, from the demonic clan's unclear perspective, this was indeed a brilliant move—several legions sacrificed to allow the entire Second Group Army of the skeleton legion to avoid catastrophic losses. There had been constant skirmishes along the way, but the structure of the Second Group Army of the skeleton legion remained intact.
Given the complete collapse of the battle, Little White's achievements had already marked him as a very competent commander—indeed, Little White had naturally inherited the position of commander of the Second Group Army of the skeleton legion. Consequently, the lost commanders of the First and Second Legions, as well as those below, had been replaced one by one due to some strange and unexpected events. Currently, Er Dan was the commander of the First Army of the Second Group Army of the skeleton legion.
“Commander, the vanguard has reported that there are no abnormalities near the Thirty-Second Demon Realm Gate, confirming there are no ambushes.”
Behind him, a bone demon reported the information to Little White, who merely nodded expressionlessly. In a short time, Little White had grown into a somewhat competent higher-level leader.
“What about the reverse teleportation? Any news?”
“The local area has sent back word that in three hours, the reverse teleportation will be activated. Lord Regas may have decided to abandon the entire African war zone.”
“That’s to be expected.”
Little White nodded, but felt somewhat disappointed in his heart.
Once the war commenced, as a spy, Little White naturally wouldn’t face attacks from Wen Yu's side. In other words, regardless of whether war was initiated, Little White’s life safety was well ensured. However, war was a good opportunity for him to fish in troubled waters. It was easy to imagine that with Regas now abandoning the African war zone, Little White would face considerable difficulties in advancing again in the future.
Thinking briefly about the plans after returning to the Demon Realm, Little White felt overwhelmed—without Wen Yu's support, his future path would surely not be too smooth, and it would be a matter of taking it one step at a time...
With these thoughts, Little White immediately stopped the useless pondering and issued an order.
“Inform the troops to set off immediately.”
...
The Thirty-Second Demon Realm Gate was not far from the area where the skeleton legion had briefly stationed.
Once the order to depart was given, the entire skeleton legion immediately sprang into action. Countless bone demons organized and lined up as they marched eagerly toward home.
