Chapter 992: Andrea? Detailed Structural Map of the Fortress!
Before the final battle of Demon Annihilation began—
To be honest…
Both the media and the participating soldiers felt heavy-hearted.
They all knew that if they lost this time, they'd be plunged back into the dark age of being trampled by the Ten Thousand Demons.
Humans and all other races would have to shrink back into their own kingdoms again.
And with the nightmares and trauma that the Ten Thousand Demons monsters had left on the Professionals, many people were deeply worried before joining this war.
But now that the battle had gone so smoothly, many soldiers were able to set aside their worries.
Of course…
All the soldiers on the ground knew perfectly well—
This success was only possible because of one person.
That person was the non-specialist from the Dragon Kingdom.
It was because of his appearance that the previously unbreakable Lemoris Fortress was finally breached, launching the final Demon Annihilation campaign.
And now, because of him again, the seemingly impregnable Heavenly Demon Capital was taken with surprising ease.
Anyone who wasn't brain-dead could see that the person who contributed the most in this campaign so far was this non-specialist.
In contrast, Adasim, who had originally bet against Ling Zhan, achieved little with his Xuantian Legion.
He even suffered heavy losses in the Abyss of Betrayal.
If it weren't for the Rotten Witch covering for him, the losses would have been even worse.
"Adasim's totally lost this time…"
"Yeah, unless he can break into the Ten Thousand Demons Fortress and personally take the head of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons."
Here, the "Lord of Ten Thousand Demons" wasn't the one who once destroyed the Prairie Kingdom, but rather the temporary proxy of the Ten Thousand Demons Cavern.
"You're dreaming. The Ten Thousand Demons Fortress is probably under tight lockdown now. Forget Adasim, not even a fly could sneak in."
"So here's the question… what should we do?"
"What else can we do? It's time for a head-on battle. It's going to be a full-scale offense versus defense, and we'll see who's stronger!"
Normally, defenders hold a huge advantage in siege warfare.
That's usually the case.
But now the Heavenly Demon Capital had fallen, and every kingdom had poured all their resources and manpower into this campaign.
The logistics were at their peak.
It's said that the Heavenly Demon Capital was now connected via spatial teleportation channels to both Lemoris Fortress and the Moor Fortress.
And the entire route was guarded by powerful patrol teams.
These patrol teams were strong individually, and when coordinated, could go toe-to-toe with a Demon Sovereign without falling behind in the short term.
Even if a Demon Sovereign tried to strike and cut off supply lines, it wouldn't be easy and might instead backfire and trap them.
As long as the patrols delayed them long enough for reinforcements, even a Demon Sovereign would be helpless.
During these past few days, the generals didn't have much time to slack off and celebrate.
Too many things had to be taken care of.
Every bit of preparation for battle had to be flawless.
Otherwise, they'd only end up screwing themselves over.
On the morning of the fifth day of rest—
Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, as commander-in-chief of the Demon Annihilation Army, consulted Ling Zhan and the other generals and ultimately decided: full army mobilization!
He also summoned General Adasim and his Xuantian Legion back to the main force.
After being summoned back, Adasim's face turned gloomy upon hearing about Ling Zhan's exploits and contributions.
He knew…
His last chance lay in whether he could personally kill the proxy of the Ten Thousand Demons Cavern.
If he could do it himself, his merits would absolutely surpass Ling Zhan's!
His ranking on the merit board would instantly skyrocket to number one!
No joke!
That proxy was essentially the boss!
This boss's status was even higher than the cult leader of the Demon Arrival Organization!
Naturally, the Rotten Witch Cathy also returned.
And she brought along a presence that instantly put all the generals on high alert.
The Empress of the Night—Andrea!
That's right!
The very same Empress of the Night from the Demon Arrival Organization!
No one expected that the Rotten Witch Cathy would bring someone like her back!
"Cathy, what are you…"
The generals all frowned.
Speaking of this Empress of the Night, they hadn't fought her directly, but all knew she was no pushover.
Her level was definitely that of a world-class powerhouse.
Rumor had it that the non-specialist once clashed with this Empress of the Night when he was just in his twenties—and managed to hold out for several minutes, even waiting for reinforcements. Whether it was true or not, no one knew.
If true, then that's insane!
To go head-to-head with a world-class powerhouse at level twenty-something and survive—who else on the planet could do that?
Only that freak Ling Zhan!
At this moment—
Andrea wasn't surprised at all by the wary stares.
Totally expected.
She had worked with the Demon Arrival Organization for years. While she hadn't committed many actual crimes, she had helped them take down plenty of top-tier powerhouses from the various kingdoms.
Take the sacred relic, the Seven-Colored Exquisite Tower—she had made a move back then.
It was still in her possession to this day.
So it was reasonable that these generals were wary of her.
"Relax. She's defected from the Demon Arrival Organization and brought back some very useful intel."
Cathy smiled.
Then she turned to Andrea.
Andrea casually tossed out a magic orb.
Buzz!!
The orb lit up, and soon, a full holographic projection hovered before the generals.
"This…"
"This is a detailed structural map of the Ten Thousand Demons Fortress!?"
The generals were stunned!
Andrea actually had something like this!
To the allied armies, this was a priceless treasure!
Why?
Because the structural diagram clearly revealed the layout of all the military defense installations inside the Ten Thousand Demons Fortress!
For the coalition forces about to launch a siege, this was incredibly important.
As the saying goes: Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will never be defeated.
With this detailed structure in hand, the generals could now plan the most effective way to attack the fortress!
While massively reducing their own casualties!
"Can you guarantee it's real?"
Just as everyone was in shock—
A tall figure calmly walked over.
That broad and imposing silhouette radiated invisible pressure. Naturally, it was Ling Zhan.
His sharp, blade-like black eyes calmly stared at Andrea.
"Long time no see, little brother Ling Zhan…"
But upon seeing Ling Zhan, Andrea revealed a charming, flirtatious smile.
