At the same time, on the battlefield of Sluvender.
The vast energy source generated by Ye Erlan's war spell - the aurora ocean that swept over from the south and covered almost half of the sky seemed to have secretly opened an undercurrent, from a mysterious place towards the only reef surrounded by the aurora ocean - Ah
The area where Dofer Fortress is located is constantly infiltrating.
As if to completely assimilate the only obstacle in front of the Yeerlan offensive, but at this moment, the commander in charge of the war in Yeerlan, Adalil, did not show much optimism.
Their plan is being implemented so smoothly at the moment. They only need to wait until the Aurora Ocean penetrates into the fortress' Mystic Energy Flow Hub. Even if the survey report given by the Bemu Archer Philosophical Society is wrong, it will be enough to paralyze the main elements of the fortress in a short period of time.
Protective power, no matter what conspiracy Sruwind has on his side, it will be just a dream.
But as the final critical point of the Aurora Ocean invasion gets closer and closer, Adalil's heart is subconsciously rising higher and higher.
"It's almost, it's almost, I hope there won't be any accidents at the last moment."
Despite praying, Sluvende's strange attitude towards the Adolfel Fortress still cast a shadow on Adalil's heart.
It's just that at this point, the only thing he can do is to pray silently. If he wants to temporarily terminate the operation, not to mention how to explain to the casters who are participating in the operation, not to mention how to explain to King Mian, the war spell has been operating for a long time.
It's hard to turn back, there is only one way to go.
…
And on the other side, a hidden place.
In a certain secret room, countless lights and shadows fill it, changing shapes all the time, sometimes as curves, sometimes as blocks of color, sometimes as chaotic colorful mist.
But there is a core of countless changing lights and shadows, as if all changes come from there, wandering outside, changing around, and then returning there.
At the core is Cruise, one of the current leaders of the [Ecricks Contract] organization. At this moment, his limbs are relaxed and his body is leaning backward slightly, as if there is some kind of force keeping him here.
This is also the case. At this moment, his consciousness is far beyond the limitations of this secret room. He exists freely and instantly in the secret place and even the wider world.
Suddenly a piece of information broke into his consciousness - "The big fish has been locked, do you want to attack?"
——"Wait and see for now, wait for my signal!" Cruise replied.
The next moment, he seemed to notice something else. With a sudden movement of consciousness, an almost realistic virtual projection appeared out of thin air in a spacious conference room that seemed a bit noisy and crowded at the moment.
"General Cruz, you came just in time. Now is the situation you mentioned! Why don't you fight back?"
"Don't be anxious, everyone. Everything is under my control. Please wait patiently for a while. I will definitely teach Ye Erlan a painful lesson."
"Then what are you waiting for? Killing those intruders now is the best lesson to teach them!"
"Now is not the best moment. If you believe me, please wait patiently for a while."
"What is more important than counterattack? Now that the outside world can no longer support it, brothers and sisters are sacrificed almost every moment. Do you deliberately want to consume the last trace of the organization's foundation?"
This statement was so straightforward that it once again aroused the hostility of the senior leaders within the organization towards Cruise. However, Cruise was not affected at all. He even stopped paying attention to the senior executives who questioned him and instead explained directly to several leaders.

"Now the counterattack can indeed severely damage the Yeerlan invaders, but there is still a hidden danger that we cannot solve, and that is the demon descendants. Even if we succeed in counterattacking now, and even invade the territory of Yeerlan, as long as the problem of the demon descendants cannot be explained clearly, maybe the demon descendants will come next time
It’s not just Ye Erlan’s side!”
"What do you want to do?" one leader asked.
"I don't know, but I can bet that the demons will try their best to infiltrate Sluvende, otherwise they will not be indifferent to this war. Maybe they will only intervene at the most critical moment. At that time, as long as
Capturing them will prove our innocence." Cruise said expressionlessly.
Perhaps the projection itself does not have such rich settings, or maybe Cruise's heart at the moment is as cold and heartless as the projection.
"But like this, the comrades, brothers and sisters outside are still making sacrifices!" A senior official almost cried.
This feeling of sitting back and watching your companions die is very heart-wrenching, but by this moment, the senior officials or senior representatives who were willing to go out and fight side by side with their companions have already left long ago, and those who stayed have already experienced more than one heart-wrenching decision.
Not bad this time either!
This may indeed be the case. Although many senior executives continued to accuse Cruise of being cold-blooded and his companions outside were worried and sad, none of them left this hidden place again.
Soon, Cruise finished negotiating with the other leaders of the organization, and was about to turn off the projection and devote more energy to observing and judging the situation, when he was suddenly stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the projection immediately collapsed and emitted little shimmers of light, gradually dissipating into nothingness. However, his voice was not affected, and instead became clearer and louder:
"A caster suspected of being a demon has appeared!"
…
At the same time, Xia Duo, who was still waiting for an opportunity in the etheric plane, also observed a third-party force inserting into the battlefield. At first, he thought it was the "peacekeeping force" of the Northland Alliance, but a closer look revealed that it was not that fast.
No matter how much Cormanthor hated Erlan, it was unlikely that he would choose to intervene in the battlefield at the most tense moment of the battle. He might get burned if he did not do so.
Chateau speculated that even if the "peacekeeping troops" arrived quickly, they would probably have to observe the outside of the battlefield first and find a time when the fighting was not so intense to get in touch with both sides of the battle. The so-called "courtesy first and then attack" is generally the case.
Ye Erlan has been classified as a violation of the Northland Alliance's charter. The "peacekeeping force" must be well-founded so that Ye Erlan will not be overthrown on the spot if he is caught in the act.
Then the true identity of the third-party force inserted into the battlefield at this time is worth pondering.
It may be other resistance groups in Sluvende, but now that the [Ecricks Contract] has seized power, Shado doesn't think that any other resistance organization will stand up to take chestnuts from the fire for others.
In other words, the original resistance organizations that can be incorporated into the [Eclix Contract] should have been incorporated, and those that cannot be incorporated have most likely been dealt with.
In this case, the possibility that the third party force is the Sruwind resistance organization is extremely slim.
Xia Duo was more inclined to be a demon descendant, but this was different from his initial judgment. He initially thought that the demon descendants were preparing to start a chaotic war in the North and let the demon descendants take advantage of the chaos. Sruwende might be the first one.
Sacrifice.
That's why he thought of keeping Sluvende alive and destroying the demon's solidification of a certain predetermined historical node (doubtful).
But now, if the third-party force trying to enter the battlefield at this moment is a demon, then is his goal going to be to destroy Sluvende?
Thinking like this, Xia Duo frowned subconsciously, but then relaxed. Regardless of whether the third-party force is a demon or not, as long as the southern part of Sluvende is independent, it will be a special historical node.
As long as the existence of that country is maintained, it can be regarded as destroying the solidification of the predetermined historical node by the demons, so that there is no need to be entangled in the issue of Sluvende's existence.
As for the true identity of that third-party force, we can naturally find out clearly once the Floating City enters the scene.
The plan may be adjusted by then, but the goal of promoting the independence of southern Sruvand should not change.
