Chapter 2389 Our Part in the Plan

Later that day, Rean's group arrived in a snow-covered region of the Tormalek Region. After being out for over a month, the Army there had already got rid of many of the Underworld Death Trees, allowing the advancement of the Army again. Now, they left the Limigo Region and entered Krohasan. Deep inside an abyss, a group of cultivators and a few demon beasts gathered, keeping themselves as hidden as possible. A Spatial Gate then appeared nearby, from which Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy stepped out with Hrumes.

The others saw that and quickly approached to receive them. "Welcome back, senior Hrumes."

Hrumes nodded, pushing Rean and the others forward. "Here are the rest of your group."

Yea, Rean's head was down, and a gloomy expression covered his face. "Over five thousand merit points... gone... just like that... Over five thousand merit points... gone... just like that... Over five thousand merit points... gone... just like that..."

*Bang!*

Hrumes lost his patience, sending Rean flying with a Kick. Inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Roan nodded, feeling a connection with Hrumes there. 'A worth Divinity Realm expert.'

'Fuck you!' How couldn't Rean hear Roan if he was talking in his mind?

Hrumes didn't know about their conversation and only threatened. "You better put yourself back together, or a little kick will be the last thing for you to worry about."

"Sigh..." Rean then got up and joined the rest of the group. There, he saw a few familiar faces, like Kanglia, the leader of their group during the last attack in the Limigo Region. "Whatever... I will just earn it all again."

Hrumes nodded, satisfied. "With your abilities, it is not that difficult. Now, then, let's enter the main topic. This time, there is no such thing as a protection formation to destroy. With the environment in these mountains, the Devils don't really need a protection formation. Their high point advantage already more than makes up for it. Instead, any formation you find in this endeavor will all be slaughtering, illusory, or trapping formations."

Hrumes then turned around, preparing to leave. "Kanglia, you did a good job last time, so I'm counting on you to lead this group too. You already know the plans, so prepare everything." nOve/lb/In

Kanglia immediately accepted the orders. "Yes, Senior Hrumes."

After Hrumes left, Kanglia let out a sigh of relief and looked at Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy. "I can guess why senior Hrumes spared your lives, but don't expect such treatments here. If you try to go somewhere else while under my command, I will kill you guys, understood?"

Rean and the other two nodded. "We already finished our investigation anyway. There is no need for Lady Kanglia to worry about us escaping."

"That's more like it," Kanglai accepted their words. "Rean, pass me your new badge number. I heard that your old one broke."

"No problem," said Rean. He did indeed break the last one to find Zandolf, and ultimately, that ended up in a meeting with the Essence Race. Rean then quickly exchanged numbers with the other cultivators and demon beasts there.

Finally, Kanglia explained the situation. "Although there aren't any barriers or similar types of formations in this region defended by the devils, there are several detecting ones. Approaching without being detected is pretty much impossible. However, attacking head-on while they hold the high-ground advantage would incur too many losses."

Essefy got confused. "What's the point with the High Ground? We can simply fly past and attack from above. If they really stay on the ground, we will quickly wipe them all out."

Kanglia immediately shook her head. "If you can see that, so can they. There are no protection barriers, but there are other types of formations. One of them, obviously, is flight restriction formations. The whole mountain range is covered by it, making flight impossible.

Kanglai then used her Divine Sense to share the landscape of the mountains and the position of the Devils' Army in this region. "Because of that, senior Hrumes and the others thought of a plan. Instead of attacking, we are going to ignore this Army and circle around, advancing into the Northeast side of the Krohasan Region."

The cultivators around narrowed their eyes. "But that would not only block our supply chain but also open our rear to the enemy. I don't see how it is a good thing."

Kanglia nodded, already expecting this question from the others. "We know that, and we truly wish they to come."

Rean smiled. "Luring the tiger out of the mountain. If we do it, we can be sure the Devils will take two approaches. The first one is to attack our rear or flank while we go around the mountain range. The second one is to aim at our supply chain, cutting our connection with the rear. However, one thing is certain: the devils definitely won't lose this chance and will come after us one way or another." Rean spent enough time with Roan to get some experience with strategies.

Kanglia looked at Rean with a smile. "Goku is right. When they come down, it will be our time to attack."

Essefy got confused. "But wouldn't it be too obvious? I mean, I can only see it as a blatant provocation. What if you are wrong, and they stay on the mountain range?"

"They can't," Kanglia spoke. "Further Northeast, you can find one of their farming areas. Well, that's just a fancy name for a place where they harvest living souls for their cultivation. Because of our fast advance, and especially the huge victory we got last time, they are still far behind the complete harvesting schedule, according to our scouts. For the Elder Devils, the value of that farm is higher than the Devil Army on this mountain range. They must at least buy enough time for them to finish their harvest, so they will definitely take the chance to attack us, even if they know it is a provocation."

Rean nodded, but he had one doubt. "Alright, I get the plan... However, why are we gathered here? What is our part in this plan?"
