Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 98 Templar
In fact, it was not as if.

After Eli led his army to march through the war zone for three days, he was sure that all the demons in the war zone had withdrawn, leaving them with only countless empty cities and vast homelands.

Another day later, Eli led his army to meet up with the advance troops. They had just returned from the border of the war zone, but even after walking through the entire war zone, they did not encounter a single demon.

"This is really strange. When did the demons become so cowardly that they all ran away without even putting up a fight."

After the army reunited, the saints met at the temporary command center. Saint Ryan scratched his sparsely haired head and said that he was full of confusion about the actions of the demons.

"What should we do next? Should we attack other war zones, or digest the two new war zones?"

After Saint Ryan, another saint spoke up and said that since they had taken over the war zone without any damage, they needed to plan the next move carefully.

"I propose to attack the next theater. We now have a large number of soldiers and generals, and our morale is high. This is a good time to expand our victory."

As an extreme advocate of war, Eli naturally wanted to attack the next war zone without stopping. No matter how cowardly the demons were, it was impossible for all the members in every war zone to run away...

After Eli spoke, the other saints also spoke up one by one. The vast majority of them advocated war, with only one saint saying that the soldiers needed to rest and recuperate after a series of battles.

There was no need to consider the result of six to one. The temporary command immediately issued an order for all armies to prepare and set out to continue advancing towards the adjacent war zone in an effort to fight the demons again.

However, things did not go as planned. Just as the army was preparing to set out, it suddenly started to rain heavily. The rain was so heavy that it was rare. The strong men were not greatly affected by the rain, but ordinary soldiers found it difficult to march in such bad weather.

The packed luggage was taken out again and the army set up camp on the spot, waiting until the rain subsided before setting out on the journey again.

However, it was not until nightfall that the heavy rain eased a little, and the coalition forces of all races had no choice but to rest for the night, hoping that tomorrow would be a sunny day.

The next morning, warm sunshine shone on the earth. After a night's rest, the soldiers set out again. However, after yesterday's heavy rain, the roads along the way became muddy and extremely difficult to travel, so that the army's marching speed was greatly affected.

If there were no magicians among the demons, Eli would have suspected that this heavy rain was a delaying tactic by the enemy demons.

Fortunately, the heavy rain did not seem to cover a very wide area. The army marched along for a long time and finally stepped on dry land. The marching speed also returned to normal levels.

After hurrying all the way, the army finally arrived at the boundary of the war zone when the sun was at its highest point in the sky. Under the leadership of Saints Eli and Ryan, each army entered the new war zone one after another.

What made Eli angry was that there was still no trace of demons in the edge of the war zone. The army passed through several border towns, but they were all empty and not even the shadow of a demon was seen.

Damn it! The demons couldn't be really scared, they retreated so much and gave up such a large territory. It would take a lot of time, energy and manpower to capture these cities in the future...

The next few days were a complete replica of the past few days. The army kept on marching, but not even a single battle was fought. The high morale that had originally been there was almost gone after this period of time. Eli was also very upset these days. So much time had been wasted. Seeing that the elves' undead buff was getting shorter and shorter, if he didn't kill more demons, it would be difficult to chase them.

Once the demons survive this wave of counterattacks, with their strong foundation, they will not be able to hold on to the lost territories they have recovered for long, and will lose them again sooner or later. They may even lose more land to the crazy revengeful demons.

"Elai, don't look so depressed. Although we failed to annihilate the enemy along the way, recovering so much of our homeland is also a good gain."

As a staff officer of the headquarters, Lina had not fought a single battle along the way and had no place to use her skills. Out of extreme boredom, she could only come and chat with Eli, who was fairly familiar to her.

Compared with other advisers who kept courting her and other old-fashioned saints, Eli, who was the same age as her, made her more willing to communicate with him.

"The land is dead, the demons are alive. If you can't kill the living demons, what's the point of just picking up some dead land?"

Just as Princess Lina said, Eli really couldn't be happy at this moment. He went from one air battle zone after another, and he went from being excited about fighting to feeling cold in his heart. Where were the damn demons? With such a broad spiritual vision, he couldn't even find a single demon. This was too exhausting.

"It's not completely useless. The more lost territory we recover, the greater our strategic depth will be in the future. We, the Hundred Races, are good at defending cities. After we station troops in these cities in the future, if the demons want to take them away again, we will have to break a few of their teeth."

Lina disagreed with Eli's statement. Although she had been a staff officer for a short time, she knew the strategic significance of the vast land and numerous cities.

That's because you haven't seen the full strength of the demons. When they withdraw most of the military forces from the underworld, the battle to defend the city for hundreds of races will become extremely difficult. The demons who have been fighting the undead creatures of the underworld for thousands of years are top-notch experts in a war of attrition.

But I can only say these words in my heart. The most urgent task now is to find the demons and kill as many as possible. A thousand or eight hundred is not too few, and a hundred or two hundred million is not too many.

It seemed like someone heard Eli's thoughts. Just as he and Lina were chatting about random things, a team of demons appeared in Eli's spiritual vision.

After sensing this group of demons, Eli's heart immediately perked up. Although they were only a few dozen demons, it would be a great thing as long as they could find traces of the demons.

"The entire army maintains speed and heads north."

Eli left the main force alone after giving this order and chased after the demon group. However, in order not to alarm them, he did not get too close and always kept a distance that even the Saint-level demons could not notice anything.

What surprised Eli was that not long after he quietly followed the demon team, he sensed another team entering his spiritual field of vision.

However, this team was not composed of demons, but more than a dozen human warriors. What surprised Eli the most was that it was not difficult to see their identity from their equipment.

From the Holy See of Light, the Templars...
