65: Restless Bloodbat Commander
Under the clearing of two fifth-order powerhouses, the Vanguard was quickly annihilated, and even Lorraine was no exception.
This was naturally her request; if you act, you have to act the whole part.
But what they didn't know was, in the deep shadows at the edge of the battlefield, twenty Little Devils were silently watching everything with their scarlet vertical pupils.
This grand play was conducted right under the Little Devils' noses from the very beginning.
From Lorraine's conversation with the missing team members, to the later contact and plotting with the Sky Knight, everything was seen clearly by the Little Devils.
During the battle, they did not approach the battlefield, to avoid being detected by the Shadow Assassin.
Seeing that all the Pioneer Team members were killed, they also had no intention of taking action.
After all, the order they received was just to monitor the actions of the Pioneer Team.
With the complete annihilation of the Pioneer Team members, they also withdrew from this battlefield.
Afterwards, they came to the suburbs, and used a sacrifice array to transmit the message to the Abyss.
A teleportation gate opened in front of the Little Devil Commander, and having successfully completed their mission, they quickly walked in.
After returning to the Abyss, the Little Devil Commander directly reported the detailed situation to Ye Chen.
Although Ye Chen had anticipated it after hearing it, he still couldn't help but shake his head and softly murmured, "Why bother? Am I really too merciful?"
With this murmur, the entire Abyss seemed like a giant beast awakening, and began to tremble violently.
All creatures in the Abyss felt the wrath from the Lord of the Abyss.
"Have all the Devil Race assemble." The Abyssal Will was very efficient, and immediately conveyed the summoning order.
When the Devil Race heard the voice in their minds, they were all startled.
At this time, no matter what they were doing, they all stopped their work, and went to the open space outside the gathering place with uneasy hearts.
At this time, the number of Devil Race had reached thirty thousand, and the square within the gathering place could no longer accommodate so many people.
Along the way, they whispered to each other, guessing the purpose of the Abyss summoning them.
Now that they were in the Abyss, facing terrifying monsters everywhere, they were naturally on edge.
Although... they were also a group of "monsters".
When all the Devil Race were in place, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, and then the entire space was violently torn apart.
Ye Chen's phantom emerged from the broken space, he was suspended on a huge obsidian throne, the surface of the throne was carved with countless twisted demon faces.
As Ye Chen's finger gently tapped the throne, these demon faces would let out painful roars.
Appearing along with Ye Chen was also a vast pressure.
This time, the pressure was stronger than ever before.
Many Devil Race were facing the Lord of the Abyss for the first time, they had just wanted to look up to see the appearance of the Lord of the Abyss, when they were directly pressed to the ground by this pressure.
Some weaker Devil Race couldn't withstand this pressure, and couldn't help but let out mournful wails.
The bones in their bodies emitted teeth-grinding cracking sounds, and threads of dark Green blood flowed out from their seven orifices.
Even more so, some were directly forced to reveal their Martial Soul True Body by this pressure!
Until Ye Chen slightly raised his hand, the pressure dissipated like a tide.
The Devil Race felt as if they had been granted a great pardon, they were like suffocating people surfacing from water, and all lay on the ground, gasping for air.
After recovering a little, no one dared to get up, and they all prostrated themselves and knelt on the spot.
They knew, the Lord of the Abyss was angry.
Ye Chen didn't pay attention to them anymore, with a slight thought, all the members of the First Pioneer Team were resurrected on the open ground.
Having just been resurrected, they looked at the vast kneeling crowd of over thirty thousand Devil Race in front of them, and couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
It wasn't until they noticed the figure of the Lord of the Abyss suspended in the void, that they hastily knelt down.
"Do you all know your sin!" Ye Chen's voice exploded in everyone's ears.
The Pioneer Team members were greatly shaken, thinking that the failure of this mission, and the team being wiped out had caused the dissatisfaction of the Lord of the Abyss.
As the commander of the Pioneer Team, Lorraine naturally stepped forward without hesitation.
She raised her head, looked directly into Ye Chen's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Great Lord of the Abyss, the responsibility for the failure of this operation lies with me, I knew the enemy was powerful yet acted rashly, leading to the destruction of the Pioneer Team."
"But we also wanted to create an opportunity for Lord Dragon, and wanted to attract the attention of the city's defenders."
"Oh? Then why until the end, was there no sign of you sending out an invasion signal?" Ye Chen's indifferent voice made Lorraine shudder.
"I... sensed that the enemy's strength was great, just a normal city had two fifth-order masters, so..."
"Is this your reason for disobeying orders?" Ye Chen interrupted Lorraine's explanation.
"I... I also weighed the strength of both sides before..." Lorraine explained with a slight awkwardness.
Ye Chen didn't pay attention to Lorraine anymore, and asked the other members of the Pioneer Team, "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"
Lili was swept by Ye Chen's indifferent gaze, and her heart jolted.
She wanted to say something, but seeing Lorraine kneeling in front of her, she still didn't speak.
And the Blood Bat Commander who was by Lorraine's side, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
This... might be his chance.
Then, he no longer hesitated, stepped forward past Lorraine's body, and then prostrated himself before Ye Chen again, shouting loudly, "Great Lord of the Abyss, your humble servant has something to report."
Ye Chen looked at this large bat, and asked with interest, "Oh? Then tell me about it."
When the Blood Bat Commander heard the change in Ye Chen's tone, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
He sorted out his thoughts, and then said unhurriedly, "When your humble servant was carrying out the mission, I discovered that Commander Lorraine is suspected of colluding with the enemy!"
As soon as these words came out, it shocked everyone present.
Everyone was in disbelief, especially the Devil Race in the Pioneer Team, they all looked at Commander Lorraine.
Lorraine's heart was greatly shaken, she didn't expect this bat with low presence would actually stab her in the back at a critical moment.
Ye Chen immediately became interested, and motioned for the large bat to continue.
The Blood Bat Commander was encouraged, and said excitedly, "When the Pioneer Team entered the other world, except for Commander Lorraine's few confidantes, the rest of us were all ostracized, except for participating in the final battle, the rest of the time we were on standby in the wilderness."
"Nonsense, when did I ever ostracize you? The army is large, entering the city will definitely alert the enemy, I did this to better complete the mission!" Lorraine argued excitedly.
"Oh? Then how do you explain later specifically moving the Shadow Assassin unit out of the city? They wouldn't expose you, would they?" The large bat was well-prepared, and asked relentlessly.
"This... I also sensed that there were high-level powerhouses in the city, and was afraid that the spatial fluctuations they caused would be detected by the powerhouses."
"Is that so? Then how do you explain the final battle? At first you said it was to create an opportunity for the Abyss's teleportation, that's why we desperately created chaos, what about later?"
"I already analyzed it for you on the battlefield, I was worried that opening the teleportation gate would cause high-level powerhouses to directly cross the teleportation gate, and counterattack the Abyss..."
Listening to Lorraine's weak excuses, the large bat sneered, "Everything you say is just your side of the story, in the end, it's all your one-sided words, I could even say you were colluding with the enemy powerhouses."
Lorraine was also very resolute at this time, she threw down the sentence "Anyway, my conscience is clear." and stopped speaking.
Ye Chen watched the two arguing, and his interest in the large bat grew higher and higher.
This little guy... is quite spirited.
