High in the sky, Fang Li looked down at the changes unfolding on the battlefield below and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I never expected you to launch a surprise attack at this moment, and directly against the Starry Sky Palace at that. That was our mistake."
As though she had been waiting for this very moment, Belphegor looked back at Fang Li with a knowing, half-smiling expression.
"But if you think this is enough to stand against Bal Masqué, then you are underestimating us."
Compared to Black Catty and Shudenan, Belphegor had undoubtedly invested far more into Bal Masqué.
"Thousands of years ago, the Alliance Leader lacked powerful reinforcements. That was why he fell victim to the permanent trap Inherent Skill during the ancient Flame Haze Warriors' fierce assault and was exiled into the gap between the two worlds."
Belphegor spoke at length.
"From that moment onward, I realized that no matter how powerful an individual may be, they cannot accomplish everything alone. Both quality and quantity are indispensable."
Therefore, to avoid repeating the failure of ancient times, Belphegor had devoted herself to cultivating Bal Masqué, the largest Crimson Realm Denizen organization of the modern era. She had even sent summons to Crimson Realm Denizens throughout the world for the sake of fulfilling the Imperial Mandate, calling upon like-minded individuals to strengthen their forces.
Now that the Alliance Leader had returned and commanded a vast number of soldiers, they possessed not only quality and quantity, but also Belphegor, a strategist capable of Divine Strategy.
"Strategies exist precisely to turn around a disadvantage."
Belphegor spoke the exact same words as Zofie, the Flame Haze Warriors' commander-in-chief.
Then, she spread her arms toward Fang Li.
"Now it is our turn to play our hand. Are you satisfied with the result?"
