The large group of devils moved toward the south. From the scale of their movement, it was clear they numbered in the tens of thousands. All of them were mobilized in an orderly manner, forming lines that stretched for tens of kilometres.
Leading these troops was a high emperor-stage devil, clad in a body armor.
He was a black-haired middle-aged man with sharp eyes. At that moment, his gaze was fixed on the movement of the giant tree heading in his direction. With how enormous the tree was, there was no way he, or anyone else could have failed to notice it earlier. Even now, the ground was still trembling slightly, and the rumbling continued as the tree drew closer.
He narrowed his eyes when he saw thousands of beasts following the giant tree, forming a spectacle that could intimidate anyone who saw it. Yet he showed no sign of concern and turned his attention back to his troops.
"Move to your positions! Prepare for battle! The enemy has come!" he shouted.
