Chapter 82: Departure
It took about two days to finish, and all the remaining demons in the war zone, including the mutated demon soldiers, were wiped out.
All the cities were hung with the flags of the Allied Forces of Hundreds of Races, announcing that these homelands had been recovered.
The news of the great victory had been sent to the rear of the tribes two days ago. If nothing unexpected happened, the envoys from the base camp would arrive in the next few days.
Unlike most soldiers who were still immersed in the joy of victory, Eli did not have extra time to stay where he was. Since the demons in this war zone have been eliminated, the next step should be to seize the time to attack the next war zone.
What are they doing now? Waiting for the envoy from the base camp to come and discuss merits and rewards, waiting for the base camp to send manpower to take over the war zone before planning the follow-up...
It can only be said that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the emperor is in a hurry. There is not much time left for them to counterattack. It does not matter if the recovered homeland is temporarily empty. The real priority is to annihilate as much of the demon clan's living forces as possible.
Although in this large war zone, the Elijah coalition forces annihilated hundreds of millions of demon soldiers, which can be said to be a hearty and major victory, but compared to the terrifying number of tens of billions of demon troops of the demon clan, this A victory caused them some pain, but not enough to break their muscles and bones.
Only by continuously winning such great victories can the foundation of the demon clan be truly damaged, and a layer of their heritage be severely cut away.
Eli waited patiently for another day, but no one from the base camp came yet, and the saints had no intention of continuing the attack.
"I'm going to explore the way to the war zone next door and I'll be back in a few days."
Finally, Eli couldn't sit still anymore. At the regular meeting of the saints the next day, he expressed his intention to leave to the other saints, which made all the saints somewhat confused by his operation.
However, all saints are members of the decision-making group. Although Saint Ren is the nominal commander-in-chief of all saints, in fact the status of all saints is equal. Saint Eli's personal decision cannot be forcibly vetoed by other saints. .
It's just that if Saint Eli moves and they don't move, if this leads to Saint Eli being trapped in a tight siege and being severely injured by enemies or even killed in another area... they are not willing to allow such a genius to perish.
"Sage Eli, it's not that I want to interfere with your freedom, but major military operations require our joint decision-making. I think it's inappropriate for you to want to go to other war zones at this time..."
One of the six coalition saints, a human saint, began to persuade him. He was extremely optimistic about Eli's future and naturally did not want him to do risky things.
"There is no military operation. Just myself, Jessica and Cecilia, the three of us will go to explore the road first, and we will not bring the army."
Eli accepted the persuasion of the saints from his clan, but he had already decided to leave. He really didn't want to continue wasting time here.
As for the army, although he can take it away by force, it will definitely affect morale. After all, rewards will be given based on merit immediately after the previous victory. He cannot ask his army to give up rewards and promotion opportunities and follow him to continue killing. Go to hell.
Wouldn't it be better to take Jessica and Cecilia, who don't care about power and wealth, to leave first, wait until they find out the situation in the next war zone, then turn back, and then go out with the army that has received the reward? better?
"Just the three of you? No, it's too dangerous! The two war zones adjacent to us are large war zones. Each war zone has hundreds of millions of demon troops and several powerful demon clan saints. Once you are besieged, even if we are Even if the entire army attacks, we may not be able to rescue you in time.”
Not only did the human saint disagree, but even the always radical Saint Ren objected. The strength of Saint Eli was indeed unfathomable, but the strength of the enemy demons should not be underestimated. After all, those were all in full power. The powerful demon clan saint-level warriors in this state are not comparable to the seriously injured saint-level warriors.
"We are just exploring the path, not launching a general attack. With my strength, I should be able to come and go freely anywhere outside the central battlefield."
It's not that Eli is arrogant, what he said is indeed the truth. With his strength, no demon clan under the Great Demon King can pose a threat to him.
"Of course we believe in the strength of Saint Eli, but it's not safe to enter enemy-occupied territory alone..."
This time, it was the druid saint who spoke.
"Not alone, aren't there Jessica and Cecilia?" Eli continued naturally.
It’s just because there are two troublemakers, Jessica and Cecilia, that we are even more worried!
Several coalition saints looked at each other and wanted to say this at the same time, but they all held back.
With your Saint Eli's strength, entering enemy-occupied territory alone has an uncertain future. You also have to bring two delicate beauties with you. The journey may be a lot of fun, but the safety problems will also be greatly increased.
If the enemy demons can't defeat you, how can they defeat them? They are called personal guards, but anyone with a discerning eye can see who is protecting whom.
"In short, I don't agree with Saint Eli's decision, but if Saint Eli insists on going, please keep those two people..."
Although Eli is young and can be regarded as their junior, he is still a saint after all. It is not easy to refute his ideas directly, but he still needs to persuade him. If he really can't persuade him, he should at least let him explore the way. Be safe.
"Eli knows your good intentions. I... will go back and make arrangements first. I will say goodbye to you when I leave."
After bowing to the saints, Eli left the headquarters alone. After leaving, Jessica and Cecilia, who were guarding outside the door, followed him closely.
The headquarters was of course soundproof. At this time, Jessica and Cecilia did not know that they were regarded as a burden to the master, but it was not difficult to see from the master's expression that he was not in a particularly good mood at this time.
All the way back to his own military camp, Eli found Rondo and told him that he was about to leave the camp. If the base camp came to reward merits, he would arrange it. Anyway, Rondo knew more about the military merits of his soldiers than he did.
After saying goodbye to Rondo, Eli took Jessica and Cecilia directly to the main general's tent, but halfway through, they unexpectedly ran into Evelyn and Eleanor.
Evelyn was okay. Although she had always refused to sleep with Eli, because they were lovers, she would come to the commander's tent from time to time to find him. They often held hands secretly.
As for Eleanor, this little kid had hardly ever looked for Eli outside the battlefield. When she and Evelyn came together, not only Cecilia was watching with concern, but even Jessica was puzzled.
