The lords of the Central Domain forces, led by Lin Haotian, were all confident that Qian Mo would not flee the capital of the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
The reasons were quite easy to understand.
First, would Qian Mo easily give up the vast empire he had painstakingly built?
Second, if Qian Mo were to abandon the heart of the kingdom, the majestic capital of the Immortal Demon Kingdom would immediately turn into ruins. All the buildings within the city, as well as the moat, walls, and the like, would collapse.
Without these defenses, Qian Mo's army would undoubtedly be routed even faster, and he himself would face large-scale pursuit.
Furthermore, with the fourteen billion allied troops surrounding the entire Immortal Demon capital, making it impossible to escape, Qian Mo would have to consider whether he could easily flee even if he wanted to.
At this moment, the peak Earl-level lord asked Lin Haotian, "Boss, when do you think we should launch our attack?"
"Having a specific time would also help the brothers below settle down!"
"Wait!"
Lin Haotian didn't even look at him and simply uttered three words indifferently.
The peak Earl-level lord asked with confusion, "Wait? Why? What are we waiting for?"
The lord's question made Lin Haotian rub his temples with some impatience, his brows furrowing slightly. However, he forced a smile and explained, "Of course, we can't be the first to act!"
"We need to wait for the native kingdom forces alliance to make the first move. Let them bear the brunt of the Immortal Demon Kingdom's fiercest attacks, and then it will be our turn to attack!"
"This way, we can achieve the greatest benefits with the smallest cost!"
As he said, he did not want the allied forces of the territorial powers to go first.
However, his concern was not for the safety of the allied members, but rather that the overall strength of the alliance should not be significantly depleted.
If the losses were too great, after destroying the Immortal Demon Kingdom, where would he find the strength to eliminate the native forces alliance?
After all, his ambition was not merely to destroy the Immortal Demon Kingdom.
His ambition was far greater. He wanted to take this opportunity to swallow the native forces alliance as well, then rule the entire Dark Forest region, and also take over Qian Mo's territory.
By then, occupying two or three regions alone, he would undoubtedly become the greatest lord in the entire alliance of territorial powers.
Others were naturally unaware of his true intentions. The peak Earl-level lord, however, thought Lin Haotian was considering them.
He quickly said happily, "Boss, you are not only wise but also so considerate of us brothers. We are truly grateful!"
Hearing this, Lin Haotian showed a friendly smile again and patted the peak Earl-level lord's shoulder.
But in his heart, he cursed, "Who the hell cares about your lives? I only care about the alliance's strength, you idiot!"
...
In another direction, at the central camp of the allied army of native kingdom forces in the Dark Forest region.
Nearly a hundred powerful experts gathered together.
Looking at their strength, they were all peak Saint-level experts.
These individuals were rulers and high-ranking officials from dozens of kingdom forces in the Dark Forest region.
Among them were the King of the Lion Kingdom, the King of the Serpent People Kingdom, the Grand Chief of the Night Demon Federation, and the Grand Preceptor of the Eagle Clan Nation, and so on...
In short, the high-ranking officials of the native kingdom forces in the Dark Forest region were all gathered here.
The Lion King sat directly at the head of the camp, appearing imposing and exuding a powerful aura.
His strength was the strongest among all the peak Saint-level experts, infinitely close to the Divine tier.
It seemed that the Lion King was only separated from entering the Divine tier by a thin veil, and with the right timing, it might happen naturally.
The Lion King's voice was as sonorous as thunder, "Now that the allied army has reached the capital of the Immortal Demon Kingdom, and with the Immortal Demon Kingdom on the verge of destruction, the crisis in the Dark Forest and the Northern Ice Plains regions will be completely resolved!"
"Then let's act!"
The Grand Chief of the Night Demon Federation's voice was hoarse, sounding like tearing cloth.
Within a radius of twenty meters around him, there were no other faction members; they all kept their distance, as if afraid to approach him.
In reality, everyone present knew what was going on.
This was because the Grand Chief of the Night Demon Federation was an extremely evil Night Demon.
Most importantly, this Night Demon's strength was also at the peak Saint-level.
Night Demons were inherently a powerful and evil race.
Their evil nature surpassed that of undead creatures, as they primarily fed on decaying corpses.
In addition to their great strength and evil nature, Night Demons were also renowned for one other thing.
That is, even if they could not achieve divinity, as long as they consumed enough blood, they could achieve eternal life.
It was said that in the countless years of history of the Primordial Continent, many disasters had the shadows of Night Demons behind them.
It could be said that this was a race that thrived on chaos.
Moreover, before transforming into Night Demons, they could have been various beings: humans, orcs, or even magical beasts.
The Grand Chief of the Night Demon Federation was a powerful human before his transformation into a Night Demon.
After transforming into a Night Demon, his strength became even greater, directly reaching the peak Saint-level.
Not only that, but he also gained a unique ability specific to Night Demons: his aura could forcibly transform weaker creatures into Night Demons.
This was a special skill that no other evil creatures possessed.
It was precisely because of this that the high-ranking officials of other factions were unwilling to get close to him.
"With our strength, we are more than capable of easily destroying the evil Immortal Demon Kingdom!"
Upon hearing the Grand Chief of the Night Demon Federation speak these words, the expressions of many high-ranking officials from the surrounding kingdom forces became rather strange.
Who would have thought that such words would come from the mouth of an extremely evil Night Demon Grand Chief?
Seeing the expressions of the people around him, the Grand Chief of the Night Demon Federation sneered dismissively. His pair of scarlet, triangular eyes swept over everyone, giving them a chilling feeling.
"Our Night Demon Federation is evil, but have you ever seen us invade you?"
The Grand Chief of the Night Demon Federation said in his hoarse voice, "But what about the King of the Immortal Demon Kingdom? He is wantonly slaughtering the beings of these two regions, and are your kingdom forces not also suffering his purges?"
"Although the Immortal Demon Kingdom claims to be a righteous and orderly faction, the deeds they commit are far more evil than ours!"
"Speaking of which, all lords are evil. In their hearts, there is only endless war and slaughter. Is there anything else?"
These words expressed the inner thoughts of the Grand Chief of the Night Demon Federation, but he did not say everything.
Their Night Demon race only participated in and manipulated such wars and slaughter from the shadows.
However, the Immortal Demon Kingdom was doing it so brazenly, directly snatching these spoils. This was absolutely unacceptable!
