Chapter 471: Chapter 330: Lurking

The Divine Exorcist Great Sage, who had been monitoring this area, was the first to detect the movements of the Dragon Clan. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "These youngsters finally can’t hold back anymore."

"From the look of it, they’ve started to seek opportunities for battle. If they seize the chance, they could really give the Demon Clan a hard time," the spy also commented with a laugh.

"With this development, I’m afraid the Demon Court will have no choice but to support the war effort here, which is adding insult to injury for the Demon Clan at this juncture."

In this way, no matter what the Demon Court wanted, they would have to strengthen the defenses here to prevent any unforeseen events, which would naturally thin out the forces at the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and also increase the consumption of the Demon Clan’s resources.

The Heavenly Court, on this side, was naturally pleased to see the Dragon Clan’s actions. They had originally thought this would be a quick and decisive war, but it had turned into a dire situation as the battle raged on.

Counting carefully from the start of the war to the present, the losses of the Heavenly Court had been substantial. Had it not been for their deep reserves, they would not have been able to persist. Nevertheless, the end of the war was still far from sight.

It is for this reason that the opening of a new battlefield here became particularly important. After all, the Heavenly Court had been oppressing the Three Realms for many years and had numerous enemies. Now there were countless malevolent eyes hiding in the shadows, waiting for the moment when the Heavenly Court showed weakness.

The Heavenly Court, seemingly splendid and lavish, had actually been beset on all sides ever since the Three Pure Ones departed.

On the other hand, the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas, who had been keeping an eye on the Dragon Clan’s movements, had also received intelligence.

"It looks like these young dragons are trying to reclaim some pride against us," the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas said with a laugh as he passed the information along.

"It seems that our previous bout didn’t hurt them enough, they still think of challenging us," a Demon King said with a snicker.

Due to the previous battles, the Demon Clan looked down upon the allied armies of the Four Seas as barely worthy opponents, which was their assessment of them.

For this reason, numerous Demon Kings, including the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas, were highly optimistic; they believed the allied armies of the Four Seas had lost the will to fight and that their own forces could easily keep them from raising their heads.

Only the Green Flood Dragon was fraught with worry. He understood the Dragon Clan well. Despite the brothers Ao Guang displaying cowardice, the actual combat power of the Dragon Clan far exceeded what others imagined. Otherwise, the Heavenly Court wouldn’t have counted on them to tie down the Demon Court’s efforts.

"We still need to be cautious. The strength of the Dragon Clan is far greater than you all imagine. The results of the last battle also included some unexpected factors. If they hadn’t been infighting, we could never have achieved such results," the Green Flood Dragon solemnly reminded everyone.

"Rest assured, Green Flood Dragon, we will be cautious," they responded.

Although the Demon Kings verbally acknowledged this with aplomb, inwardly they were quite skeptical. After all, their previous victory was so astonishing that in their hearts they had already labeled the allied armies of the Four Seas as worthless.

Only the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas pondered for a moment and said, "You make a good point. The Dragon Clan, after all, is an ancient clan. If they are truly determined to deal with us, it won’t be so simple. We still need to be on guard."

After speaking, he surveyed his surroundings with a commanding gaze and said in a stern tone, "All of you, leave behind your arrogance. Be vigilant in your defenses, and don’t let your guard down, lest you capsize in the gutter and become a chip for the other side’s comeback."

The Demon Kings who had been joking around just moments ago lowered their heads under his authoritative gaze, indicating that they would definitely follow the orders.

After everyone had left, the Green Flood Dragon watched their receding figures and said with a sigh, "I reckon not many will take the advice to heart."

The Green Flood Dragon knew these Demon Kings all too well. Before joining the Demon Court, these Demon Kings had been independent rulers of their own territories, accustomed to freedom. It was challenging for them to adapt to the constraints of their current life, with some of their guerrilla tendencies hard to shake off.

To be precise, these people still do not possess the qualifications to become an elite force.

Fortunately, their prolonged harsh living had granted them the endurance to cope with most hardships.

"There’s no helping it, we assembled our forces too late, and I haven’t had the chance to properly train them. Now, the only option is to let the cruel battlefield serve as their teacher," Sea Overturner Great Sage said with a deep sigh.

He was well aware of these issues, but alas, there wasn’t enough time left to change the situation.

He could only hope that the Dragon Clan’s revenge wouldn’t be too harsh.

Above the vast sea, the waves were magnificent, and the Sovereign of Greyhawks patrolled the ocean surface with his minions, in high spirits.

Gazing at the wide expanse of ocean and feeling the breeze from the sea, the Demon King comfortably lay on the beach while his little demons patrolled.

"I think the Great Sage shouldn’t have listened to Green Flood Dragon’s words, it’s too cautious. Now the Dragon Clan is already petrified with fear, they wouldn’t have the courage to trouble us," the Sovereign of Greyhawks said with a smile.

He relished his current life, post a hearty and thorough victory, it was only right to live such a leisurely life. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

How could the allied armies of the four seas, that rabble, dare to come here again? Even if they did, with their combat ability, it would be equivalent to seeking death.

His words immediately elicited laughter among his surrounding little demons, as everyone’s memory of the last war was still fresh with scenes of Dragon Clan troops being slaughtered until the rivers ran red with blood.

Amidst the roar of laughter, they were oblivious to the danger that was silently approaching.

Not far from them, in the waters nearby, Dragon Prince Ao Ming was leading a group of Aquatic creatures of the Four Seas, lurking in that very area.

"Your Highness, we have verified that there are no other Demon King’s armies around, just these few patrolling little demons," a member of the Aquatic Races quietly reported.

"Excellent, heaven is truly helping us. These monsters are so careless; it’s as if they’re delivering a great victory to me today," Ao Ming murmured fervently to himself.

He had waited for this moment for a long time. Under the counsel of Ao Xing, he patiently awaited the right opportunity and had finally found it.

For a young individual resolved to resurrect the glory of the Dragon Clan, the failure of the last engagement was a stain on his life, a disgrace that needed to be cleansed. The thought of the previous defeat would leave Ao Ming restless at night.

He needed a satisfying slaughter, a grand victory to cleanse past humiliations, to prove that he was capable of taking up the mantle of revitalizing the Dragon Clan,

Now, the opportunity lay before him, and he felt a familiar tension for the first time in a long while.

"Listen up, everyone, this time not a single monster shall be allowed to escape. Surround them quietly, if one gets away, I’ll hold you to account," Ao Ming said fiercely.

All the Aquatic Races couldn’t help but shiver. They knew their prince wasn’t joking; everyone in the allied armies knew that Prince Ao Ming was almost mad for revenge, pushing his own troops relentlessly in training to the point of death.

"Rest assured, Your Highness, not a single one will escape. But, we might not be able to stop those little demons’ King," one said.
