The one who stood up to question was a petite woman with two pairs of transparent wings and a beautiful face.
She was the head of the Elves.
Elves were known for their intelligence, so after hearing Lucian's order, they quickly racked their brains to find a loophole.
"Holy Master, please forgive me for being blunt! As everyone knows, the Sunset Canyon is a place that we have to pass through to go to the Demonic Forest! The terrain there is dangerous. Once we are ambushed, we will be in danger of being wiped out!"
"Therefore, as long as one knows how to use troops, they won't choose to attack the Demonic Forest from this path! Isn't your decision too rash?"
"If the Holy Empire's reinforcements attack the Demonic Forest from other routes, and our elites foolishly lie in ambush in the Sunset Canyon, this will be a heavy blow to us!"
After the Elven patriarch finished speaking, she stared at Lucian with a burning gaze.
Hearing the Elven patriarch's words, the other patriarchs also looked surprised.
So a new wave of discussion unfolded.
"That's right. The Elven patriarch makes a lot of sense! Everyone knows that it's easy to be ambushed at Sunset Canyon. That Holy Light Adjudicator shouldn't be stupid enough to take that path, right?"
"The Holy Master has seriously underestimated the enemy!"
"That's right. Everyone, persuade the Holy Master. We might be able to send scouts to investigate first! Then, we can decide where to ambush!"
… .
Everyone discussed among themselves and deliberately raised their voices.
Just in case Lucian couldn't hear them.
Lucian sighed inwardly. These smart-ass bastards.
Although they were outwardly convinced of his abilities.
But in reality, they still had some doubts in their hearts.
It seemed that he still needed to show victorious results to completely dispel their doubts about him.
When everyone had calmed down, Lucian spoke again.
"Your concerns are reasonable, but fighting is not about taking things for granted. You have to start from the facts! You can't generalize the way your opponent attacks and routes. You can't think that just because you don't want to take the Sunset Canyon path, that the Holy Light Adjudicator won't choose this path either!"
"The reason why I had the elites lie in ambush around Sunset Canyon was because I took into account the psychology and personality of that Holy Light Adjudicator! Firstly, he doesn't know the terrain between the Kaidi City and the Demonic Forest. He can only navigate through a map."
"In addition, with his strength and his long-term comfortable life in the empire's main city, he definitely won't take our Demonic Forest seriously. He naturally looks down on us!"
"So even if he'd considered the possibility of an ambush in Sunset Canyon, he wouldn't have taken it to heart! He doesn't think we have that kind of intelligence. He knows how to use his troops!"
"And don't you forget, I've got my pawns in Kaidi City!"
When Lucian finished, he saw that the chiefs were about to speak again.
He immediately silenced them with a wave of his hand.
"Well, you don't have to say anymore! Just carry out my orders. I don't want to hear any more objections!"
With that, Lucian stood up and walked to the back hall to rest.
It was too much work to discuss the problem with these subordinates, who refused to cooperate fully.
He was the only one using his brain. His subordinates were still desperately trying to find fault with him.
Going against him.
It was exhausting work.
However, Lucian also understood that it would take some time to train these demons to the point where they could be ordered around without questions.
I can't rush it.
Seeing that Lucian had given the order firmly, the group of leaders did not say anything else.
Since they chose to join the Fallen Alliance, they chose to obey and believe in this Holy Master.
After the ultimatum was issued, they knew they should not think of resisting again.
Hence, one by one, they returned to their respective races to select strong warriors to form elite teams to ambush the reinforcements from Kaidi City.
When the elites of the various races slowly arrived at the edge of Sunset Canyon,
The impatience on their faces quickly turned to shock.
They had just reached the sides of Sunset Canyon, and they immediately heard the echoes coming from the canyon.
Because of the special terrain, Sunset Canyon amplified the surrounding sounds.
At this moment, they heard the sound of hooves in unison.
When they heard this voice, the same word reflected in everyone's mind.
Kaidi City reinforcements.
"This… they really came this way!"
"The Holy Master's judgment is correct!"
"Don't just stand there! Hurry! Get into position and prepare for battle!"
… .
At this moment, the demon soldiers trusted Lucian even more.
They quickly recalled the battle plan that Lucian had previously instructed and immediately arranged for the deployment of troops.
They also quickly arranged for the transport of the Rolling Stone Trees.
As the footsteps of the reinforcements approached, the demons were already filled with excitement.
Finally, the moonlight shining from above lit up a small part of the canyon.
At this moment, a group of knights in silver armor finally appeared.
As soon as these knights appeared in the line of sight of the demon soldiers, they silently raised the boulders and logs.
Closer and closer.
When those knights finally rushed within ten miles of the ambush circle,
The leader gave the order, countless boulders and logs rolled down from above the canyon.
The powerful impact created a great visual effect.
The crash as the boulder fell against the log echoed through the canyon.
The knights suddenly looked up and saw a scene that terrified them.
"Ambush! Alert!"
As the captain shouted, all the knights had already noticed the boulders and logs falling from above.
But it was too late for them to react.
The top of the canyon was nearly a hundred meters.
Under this huge impact, even those strong knights could not withstand it.
Under the first wave of boulders and logs, the thousand-man team of knights was killed or wounded in the blink of an eye.
What had greeted them were waves of falling boulders and logs.
For a moment, the entire canyon was filled with screams.
