"What?"
"Silver City?"
Everyone around him looked shocked.
Bai Xiaowen's finger had landed squarely on the dark-red area marked "extremely dangerous" on the map: Silver City, the Silver King's stronghold on the icy plains in the northwest of the continent!
After his initial surprise, Herbart quickly caught on. "I understand Lord Hristos's strategy. Just as with our attack on the Throne of Pride, we'll strike while the enemy's stronghold is undefended."
Another militia leader said, "I agree. The demon army is destroying our homes. It's time we returned the favor."
Thanks to Bai Xiaowen's preparations, the five human settlements had already been evacuated. Only houses and heavy belongings that could not be taken away remained for the demons to burn and destroy as they vented their violent urges.
But the demon city had made no such preparations. Trading strongholds was a highly viable strategy.
The army marched on without pause.
Inside the White Bone Chariot, Bai Xiaowen was not cultivating.
Instead, he spread his Spirit Sense over a wide area, serving as the army's temporary radar.
His Spirit Sense now covered a vastly greater range. Everything within fifty kilometers was under his watch.
This was thanks to the Mind-Nurturing Method, a branch of Immortal Arts that strengthened the mind and spirit.
At an advanced level, the Mind-Nurturing Method allowed one's Yang Spirit to leave the body and one's mind to roam vast distances. Bai Xiaowen, however, was still a beginner.
Sigrdrifa led a group of flying Banshees, ready to act on Bai Xiaowen's orders at any moment.
Whenever they spotted a demon scout, Sigrdrifa used her superior mobility to hunt it down. She would not let the army's movements be exposed.
And so the joint human and Undead army made its way in secret to the northwestern icy plains.
