“Charge!”
Countless warriors began making their way up Terragon Hill, each of them fueled by an intense bloodlust.
They charged forward with a determination to kill all followers of the Fiery Demon, only to pause in their tracks a few minutes later out of confusion.
Why haven’t we encountered any of the Fiery Demon’s forces? Given their numbers, they should be all over the place! There’s no way that many people could hide in a tiny little hill like this! Where the hell are they?
“Be careful, men! We’re up against a very cunning enemy! They’re most probably lying in wait for the perfect moment to ambush us!”
“Keep your eyes peeled, everyone!”
The warriors then went on high alert and slowed down their ascent, but every step they took only made them increasingly anxious.
The entire Terragon Hill was enveloped in an eerie silence, and not a single soul could be seen.
In fact, even the animals in the area seemed to have vanished completely.
“This can’t be right! Where is everybody? They should’ve attacked us by now!”
With no enemy in sight, the warriors could only continue making their way up the mountain.
They soon made it halfway up the mountain, but there were still no enemies in sight.
Everyone had puzzled looks on their faces as they glanced at their surroundings.
What on earth is going on here? We’re already halfway up the mountain for goodness’ sake! Why haven’t we encountered a single enemy? What exactly is Levi playing at?
“This is unbelievably sly and cunning!”
“They’d better pray that I don’t find them or I’ll make them wish they were dead!”
“Let’s keep going, men!”
The warriors then continued climbing up the mountain from all directions.
With the powerful Gem List warriors from The Cardinal Hall to back them up, they felt no fear whatsoever.
However, the sheer strangeness of the situation had them all freaking out as they saw no one even when they were close to the peak of the mountain.
“Just what is Levi playing at?”
That was a question that burned in the back of everyone’s minds.
“I know Levi! He’s an incredibly cunning fellow! It is precisely times like these that we need to be extra careful!” Jared reminded them.
“That’s right! Levi and the Seven Fiends are a force to be reckoned with! We will suffer tremendous losses if we fall victim to their tricks!”
An air of terror surrounded Terragon Hill as everyone had anxious expressions on their faces.
The council members of The Cardinal Hall then held a meeting to discuss their strategy, and they eventually decided to have the warriors from the Gem List and The Cardinal Hall lead the way.
The rest of the troops followed behind as they made their way to the peak of the mountain but still saw no enemies along the way.
Even the strongest of warriors were starting to waver as they knew how cruel and cunning the Fiery Demon’s forces were.
If this really is some kind of trap laid out for us, we might actually not survive it!
They all arrived at the peak of Terragon Hill about half an hour later, but a lone figure was all that awaited them at the top, and it was none other than Levi himself.
Everyone was caught off guard as they were not expecting it in the slightest.
Why is he the only person on Terragon Hill? What happened to the tens of thousands of men that make up the Fiery Demon’s forces? The Cardinal Hall had seen and confirmed that all of the Fiery Demon’s forces were gathered here, so where have they all disappeared to? We’ve practically searched every inch of Terragon Hill on our way up, and we haven’t seen a single enemy! Where the hell is everybody?
“Why is he all by himself?”
They were all confused and unable to wrap their heads around what was going on.
The figure slowly turned around to face them, and they were all certain that it was Levi.
He was the only enemy they had encountered so far in Terragon Hill.
“I’ve been waiting quite some time for you all!” he said with a smile, but everyone only saw him as the devil in the flesh.
“An Empty Fort Strategy?”
Could Levi have pulled off an Empty Fort Strategy? This must be a trick of some sort! If that’s the case, where could his men possibly be hiding to ambush us? Our men are all over the place, so they have nowhere to hide at all! Where the hell are they?
