That warrior nodded emphatically, "I'm sure it's in the west. At that time, I was scared of any danger, so I went around my surroundings. I confirmed that the lake is right there!"
Fane nodded before he drew the lake on that piece of paper. They had been sent to various corners of the Demon Spirit Kingdom and had gathered there together. In order to quickly find a place that was easy to defend, Fane had everyone tell him what they saw on their way over.
Fane stared at the western side for a moment before he frowned and shook his head, "No! That place is only good because it gives us a wide vision, we can't say it's that easy to defend. If they suddenly attack, we'll only be able to retreat in one direction as we fight. We'll definitely suffer heavy losses."
After Fane denied that position, he asked everyone else again, did you see any valleys or caves on the way over? Even mountaintops are fine."
Kesh glinted in his eyes as he raised his hand excitedly, "I remember somewhere! That place should be quite easy to defend!"
Fane nodded, allowing Kesh to continue. Kesh took a deep breath and recalled what he remembered.
"That place is a somewhat tall mountain range. There's a canyon behind it. The canyon is so narrow that only two people would be able to walk through at a time. Do you consider that easy to defend?"
Fane had a sparkle in his eyes as he straightened his back and nodded, "Of course it is! Why didn't you say so earlier? Did you not remember it?"
Kesh shook his head. He took a deep breath before he said, "I didn't mention it earlier because I felt like the place was a little strange. When I stood at the mountain range, I could see the end of that canyon..."
As he said that, he paused and frowned, "There was mist at the end of the canyon. It covered the whole area and seemed endless. I found it strange, so I wanted to see if there was anywhere else…"
When Fane heard that, he raised an eyebrow. He drew the mountain range on the map, but he did not say anything. He looked at every position in detail, and he thought for a moment before he pointed right at the mountain range, "Let's take a gamble then! We're leaving for this place now!"
Everyone exchanged looks of worry with each other. However, they could do nothing about the matter. Everyone was already treating Fane's words as gospel. After all, those who did not listen to Fane ended up dying. They naturally refrained from voicing any dissent.
Fane stood up and said to Kesh, "Lead the way!" Kesh nodded. He pointed to the west, "That place seems to be toward the west as well."
Fane nodded. Kesh led the way while the others followed. Without another word, they immediately started to move away. Fane's movements were very quick, and the Demon Spirit Beasts did not notice them at all.
After they moved for about a kilometer, they suddenly noticed eight Demon Spirit Beasts with human heads in front of them. Other than Fane and Rudy, it was the first time the rest of them had seen the beasts that looked like that. Everyone was stunned as they pulled out their weapons and prepared for battle.
Those beasts did not hesitate at all when they noticed the humans. They tossed out a signal array. The signal exploded in the air like fireworks, and the shockwaves were transmitted out.
