In the depths of the dense Black Fog, Leo Ray led the group of powerful figures, racing forward swiftly, while constantly paying attention to everything around them.

As our steps delved deeper, the scenery here became increasingly shocking.

Apart from more ruins and grave markers, from time to time vast stretches of abandoned fields and bare forests flashed by on both sides.

Moreover, every so often there appeared blood-red rivers emitting a stinging, putrid stench, flowing slowly and thickly, which, coupled with the dense miasma of the Black Fog, made the entire scene resemble Purgatory.

This series of sights caused even Loris, Sina, and others who had visited here before to furrow their brows tightly, their faces filled with grave expressions.

Even for them, they had never ventured this deep into the Land of Howling, and for everyone, what lay before them was unknown and unfamiliar.

Gazing at the hellish landscapes around, Leo Ray's brow remained furrowed.

Before embarking, he had asked the Administrator and others, yet even the Shadow Market could not transport them to the depths of the Land of Howling. Here seemed like a cursed land, appearing as nothingness on the Magic Sandbox.

What unsettled everyone further was that the deeper they got into the Black Fog, the more densely packed the Skeleton Fortresses became.

From a glance, those towering forest-white cities loomed indistinctly in the Black Fog, sometimes even two or three could be seen simultaneously.

Approaching the Fortress, everyone could clearly see the undead lingering on the City Wall of the Fortress, skeletal battle flags fluttering, empty eye sockets roaming back and forth, watching our rapidly passing group with a smirk, as if on a deathly mission.

Looking up at the countless Skeleton Soldiers, the group remained silent, yet their hearts grew increasingly tense.

The opponent's Undead Army was far more numerous than expected. In an open battlefield confrontation, we had no chance of victory.

It was not only a disparity in strength but also an environmental advantage for them. Everyone could clearly feel the slower rotation of their internal energy vortex the deeper they ventured into the Black Fog, which undoubtedly greatly hindered the exertion of their abilities.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, if the opponent chooses to encircle us, delving this deep means falling right into their encirclement?"

Feeling the slow surge of energy vortex within, Loris furrows his brow and couldn't help but speak.

"That is likely the inevitable outcome."

Leo Ray nodded calmly, replying, "But moving the Undead Army takes a substantial amount of time and can't keep up with our pace, so our task is simple: eliminate the enemy's command center before their army forms an encirclement."

"Your Majesty of the Humans speaks correctly. If we can take down the Witch Demon Leader and other core liches, the headless Undead Army will be nothing to fear."

Sina nodded emphatically, agreeing, "Your Majesty of the Humans has defeated them once before, and in a previous scheme, they also suffered significant losses. This proves they are not invincible."

"Indeed, this time we shall never rest until the witch demons are destroyed!"

Thinking of their sinister deeds, Loris's lion-like face revealed throbbing veins, as a growling low with murderous intent brewed in his throat.

With Loris's words, the group fell silent once more, with no one speaking further for the time being.

Leo Ray and the other two Commanders understood clearly that behind the witch demon lurked an unknown backer hiding in the shadows, which was the truly terrifying aspect of the enemy.

However, the team's morale was no longer as high as initially, so the three of them tacitly did not mention this point, only pondering repeatedly in their hearts the possible events and our countermeasures, to increase the odds of victory, even by a minuscule fraction.

Speeding along the unknown and mysterious path, it was unclear how much time had passed. When everyone had somewhat adapted to the increasingly dense ruinous scenes around, deep within the Black Fog and ruins, an immense, unfamiliar forest-white Giant City gradually became clear.

The scale of this forest-white Giant City was astonishing, almost comparable to the Land of Divine Favor, far surpassing the bones fortresses we passed. The only similarity was that both this forest-white Giant City and the skeleton fortresses had cities with surface layers presenting a bizarre structure.

As for the bizarre layered structure or what material these City Walls were constructed from, that needed no further explanation.

A dense Black Fog whirled out from the center of the forest-white Giant City, like a giant chimney, seemingly never-ending. It was evidently the source of the Black Fog in this area.

That continually billowing Black Fog felt like a huge twisted, deformed shadow, coldly watching over our party.

Surrounding the forest-white Giant City was a bright red Protective City River, making the entire scene more eerie and arresting.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, based on our estimated traversed distance, this must be the deepest part of the Land of Howling, surely the capital city of the witch demons!"

Holding an ancient parchment map in his fur-covered hand, Loris repeatedly confirmed, nodding to Leo Ray, "This was once the capital of the destroyed alliance forces, so it's no surprise the witch demons established their stronghold here."
