"Which lord's army is this, and how did it get into the Eternal Continent so quickly?"
Above the sky, Evelyn Hartley looked at the demon army and said suspiciously.
At this moment, her main body was not above the Eternal Continent, but this grey-winged creature, the puppet she had possessed using the Mutated Druid Possession Spell.
Evelyn's luck was in that she chose the Druid race and had a Forest Elf tribe that was fairly friendly to the Druid race near her random initial location.
The Forest Elf tribe belongs to the same Natural civilization as the Druid race, and the Forest Elves gave Evelyn a gift.
This gift was the Mutated Druid Possession Spell.
[INFO]
Mutated Druid Possession Spell: The spell can cross space and directly possess natural creatures from other locations.
At first, Evelyn didn't think this spell was so valuable, after all, it could be purchased in the Arcane Treasure Exchange.
She thought the friendly but stingy elves were merely saving her a few thousand resource points.
By the time her territory had grown to a mid to late stage and she could command tens or even hundreds of thousands of troops at will, a few thousand resource points could really be considered worthless.
Of course, Evelyn still accepted this "small" kindness, for her at the moment, a few thousand resource points were a "big" sum for the time being.
There was no such thing as a free lunch. Not long ago, Evelyn was forced to have a long time with some single male elves in the forest tribe due to her charming appearance and temperament.
This caused her to complain quite a bit.
Now, however, Evelyn felt that the skill was really worth it.
Time was everything!
Originally, she only wanted to observe the Eternal Continent in advance, but she discovered a very dangerous situation.
That is, on the second day of the Trial, there was actually a lord who had already sent his forces into the Eternal Continent!
"Who is he? Is it Isabella Sterling or Ethan Greyson? Or perhaps..."
Every name Evelyn recites belongs to a renowned genius.
[INFO]
The Lord Trial was a special space where outstanding people from the real world were selected to participate in each trial, and most of them came from Top Universities, such as Westerford University where Caelan was from.
These schools focused on the lessons of the Lord Trial while cultivating the overall abilities of their students, and there was no shortage of geniuses with terrifying talent among them.
"Forget it, no matter who he is, I must restrain his expansion."
"Eternal Continent is just this big, can't let him smoothly take over all the important resources in the early stage."
"You know, the Lord Trial isn't just about brute force, strategy is also an integral part of it too!"
Evelyn chattered on, she didn't know who this lord was, but she was well aware of the rules of the trial:
[To pass the trial, every newcomer is your foe.]

Evelyn has an idea, to enlist the Centaur tribe on the Eternal Continent against the wildly expanding Caelan.
The warriors in the Centaur tribe have a minimum level of 3!
The curtain of war is about to open ......
Above the throne at the Dark Abyss, Caelan is commanding his demon soldiers through the Lord's Eye to besiege a medium-sized Lizardman village.
[Lord's Eye: Exclusive ability for the lords, allowing the lords to perceive through their subordinates' eyes across distances and command them.]
This medium-sized Lizardman village was the target Caelan had chosen to focus on a day earlier.
Inside the village, there were nearly a hundred level-1 Lizardmen and three Lizardman Wizards, as well as a Malevolent Statue made of rock and broken gold.
To ensure this battle was foolproof, Caelan had even called back all of the demon squads that had been exploring around before.
When these Lizardmen died, their bodies could be cut out of Flesh and turned into food and resources, while their village could also be exchanged for resource points.
But that wasn't all.
The Malevolent Statue was the most valuable item in the entire Lizardman village.
It was an object marked as unknown curiosity!
[INFO]
Unknown Curiosities were very special and rare in the Lord Trial.
They can be exchanged for a large amount of resource points, or spent in the Arcane Treasure Exchange for appraisal.
After appraisal, some of these unknown curiosities can be powerful equipment, some can be skill scrolls, and some can be treasure maps that contain mysterious treasures.
All in all, no matter what kind of rewards, they all have a very high value.
That was why Caelan took this battle so seriously, never allowing any mistakes.
In the center of the battlefield, Caelan's command was methodically conveyed.
============================================
"Formation 1, retreat to Area A2."
"Formation 2, take over from Formation 1 and attack the enemies in Area B7."
"Formation 5, 6, 7, move towards Area c1 and block their retreating."
......
=============================================
Suddenly, Caelan broke out into a curse.
"Damn it, I asked you to co-operate, not to eat your teammates!"
It turned out that a Native Demon, surprisingly, had stomped to death a Lesser Demo, and then very quickly shared its corpse with the other Native Demons.
The entire process was very skilful and the Native Demons were definitely repeat offenders!
Before Caelan could react, he realised that Formation 1 of 17 Lesser Demons, had instantly reduced to 16.
Seeing this, Caelan couldn't help but cover his face as he sat on top of the throne.
"Oh my god, these damn guys ......"
Similar incidents have occurred more than once, leaving Caelan helpless.
These despicable demons show remarkable "loyalty" in this regard!
Caelan also discovered one of the advantages of these demon soldiers.
No fear of death!
Or rather, ignoring the Morale Penalty.
[INFO]
Morale Penalty：During the war, the death or injury of companions can significantly impact the mindset of soldiers, leading to reduced fighting ability and decision-making capacity.
Perhaps because death is so common in the Demon race, any Demon soldier can ignore the Morale Penalty caused by death.
Even if the demon soldiers were heavily injured, they still wouldn't take half a step back.
They don't care whether they can win or not, nor will they be affected by the screams of their companions, and they don't even care about their own safety.
The only thing they would do was to attack the enemies and spread chaos, just like the war itself.
Caelan confirmed that these demon soldiers had great war potential!
However, the shortcomings of them were also very obvious.
That is, in the process of carrying out Caelan's commands, they did not carry them out thoroughly, and always had their own "small actions"!
Although this did not affect the overall situation, nor would it affect Caelan's control of the battlefield, these uncertainties always gave Caelan a very disgusting feeling.
It's as if, in their bones, these demon soldiers have been rebelling against him...
----------
"Ka!"
As Native Demon crushed the skull of the last Lizardman with one foot.
Caelan sat on his throne and let out a sigh of relief.
Under his commands, more than 200 demons had completely destroyed this medium-sized Lizardman village with a mortality rate of less than 35%.
Although the number of deaths and the mortality rate were high, considering all the factors such as the level difference, the chaos of the demon soldiers, and the fact that they belonged to the attacking side.
Such a result could be called a great victory!
Caelan's command is truly first-class, whether it's setting up ambushes in the early stages, dividing forces in the middle stages, or encircling and annihilating enemies in the later stages.
But even so, Caelan still frowned as he looked at the corpses of the dozens of dead demons.
"It could have lost even less ...."
A trace of chagrin flashed through Caelan's eyes.
"It was my mistake."
"My order just now was flawed; if the opponent hadn't been those dazed Lizardmen but Ethan Greyson instead, I would have been in serious trouble..."
"Next time, I must improve the tactical system to make it more compatible with the Demon Soldiers."
Caelan took a deep breath.
"Alright, don't think about it."
"Let them bring back the Malevolent Statue."
Dozens of Lesser Demons, like slaves, carried the huge Malevolent Statue towards the Abyssal Gate.
In the middle of the jungle not far away, a pair of sharp eyes snapped open from the shadows under the trees.
It first saw the corpses and trashed village of the Lizardmen, revealing deep disgust and faint joy.
Immediately after, when it saw the actions of these demons, what was revealed in its eyes was boundless hatred and monstrous anger!
