As Ye Ruozai looked ahead, one Hellhound after another gathered together. Constant howls erupted as some of the hounds leaped out, only to be swarmed by Shadow Source Insects that clung to them from the side. Four or five hounds were thus bound together by the Shadow Source Insects and, amidst their horrifying howls, gradually fused into one. Before long, a massive three-headed dog, the size of a water buffalo, with black liquid dripping from its mouth, stood before Pei Yan.

The ground shook as the giant demon crocodile summoned by the Demon Race launched an attack. These creatures, comparable to heavy tanks, withstood the massive stones constantly hurled by the sleepers from Bull Territory. Under the command of the Demon Race, they bypassed Leohard's central army on both sides, attempting to charge towards Bull Territory.

Meanwhile, the reformed Hell Three-headed Dogs moved agilely across the battlefield. When the ground trembled once more, these Hellhounds immediately sensed the change, swiftly sprinting towards the cracked earth. Soon after, when a Magma Insect emerged from the ground, the Hell Three-headed Dogs deftly dodged the magma it spewed, then leapt onto the Magma Insect's body.

One, two, three... as many as seven or eight Hellhounds clung to a single Magma Insect. Once the Magma Insect was knocked down, it struggled to get back up. Each Hell Three-headed Dog shook their three large heads, ferociously tearing at the Magma Insect's surface. The seemingly impenetrable rock-like skin became vulnerable under the sharp teeth of the hounds, torn open after several bites. It didn't take long before the entire Magma Insect, covered in wounds and on the brink of death, collapsed onto the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions pulled Pei Yan and others' attention away from this thrilling hunt. As they watched the Hellhounds in combat, those who summoned the demon crocodiles replaced the star disks in their hands. Now, with hands raised to the sky, various magic attacks relentlessly shot from their palms towards the Bull Territory's positions. Meanwhile, the trebuchets that had been silenced by the Magma Insects were now reassembled with the new Hell Three-headed Dogs covering them, launching swarms of burning Shadow Source Insects at the queen insect above the Bull Territory.

Under the suppressive firepower from these two newly joined forces, the resistance in front of Leohard weakened significantly. With renewed morale, the Knight Order, chanting their slogans, broke through the defense array formed by the armed forces of Bull Territory and finally charged up to the mid-slope of the Bull Domain.

However, awaiting them there was not a victory celebration, but the core force of the Disaster Legion — the Red Armored Warriors. This contingent of only five hundred faced Leohard's troops immediately, and with a single collision, the initially high-morale Demon Race troops were pushed back down the domain.

As the two armies clashed, the Demon Race fused with the harpies swooped towards the rear of the positions. Hovering over the queen insect, each harpy scratched at its body with talons and unleashed magic attacks from their beaks, blasting them directly into the insect's surface at close range.

Soon, two queen insects, already battered from the Demon Race's intense artillery bombardment, could no longer withstand this assault. With a mournful cry, their upturned tails drooped weakly, and their entire bodies slid uncontrollably to the side.

Just as the eagle-headed Demon Race was about to expand their victory from this triumph, a swarm of hideous-looking monitors in the Disaster Legion camp took to the air, flapping bat wings. Without apparent action or discernible sound from their open mouths, eagle-headed members of the Demon Race rolled their eyes and plummeted to the ground one after another. Before they could rise, they were hacked into pieces by the armed forces rushing in.

"It's akin to infrasonic attacks that human ears cannot hear. I've traced their frequency; it's effective against the Demon Race, negligible on us. For safety, wear this; once it alerts, fortify your protective aura and quickly leave the battlefield. Leave the rest to me," Pei Yan said, focusing on the monitors across the battlefield, pulling out three headphone-like devices and placing them on his companions' chests.

"Need help?" Zhao Yuanhu raised his head, allowing Pei Yan to hang the device on his chest as he asked.

"I've got it covered; you head to the teleportation mirror the Demon Race set up and wait for me there!" With these words, Pei Yan tapped his forehead, murmuring, "From the feed from the Napas Valley monitors, they've already received a signal for reinforcements. A large number of Red Armored Warriors have set off with the spread of the Red Disaster, but they're moving slowly. It's time to give them some pressure and hurry them along."

"Understood!" Ye Ruozai replied, intercepting Xia Yu, who wanted to stay and help. Under his commanding gaze, the two reluctantly followed Ye Ruozai and temporarily withdrew from the battlefield. Meanwhile, Pei Yan turned and rushed towards the Bull Lord's battlefield direction.

At this moment, the slope of Bull Territory looked like a giant overturned dye vat, various bloodied fluids seeping into the ground and emitting a foul odor, as the Demon Race and Red Armored Warriors fought fiercely.

Only now did Pei Yan truly discern the true prowess of these Red Armored Warriors. It seemed that the Demon Race had exaggerated their capabilities in the introduction, increasingly boasting their strength. Currently, the Disaster Legion, outnumbered, firmly suppressed the Demon Race Knight Order's advance.

Once the Red Armored Warriors began their attack, Pei Yan distinguished their identity. Similar to the Demon Race's combat tactics, the mid-tier group of the Disaster Legion also consisted of close-combat specialists, known as Armored Warriors, and long-range attackers, referred to as Disaster Spreaders.

Among the five hundred strong contingent, it was clear that the four hundred mixed with Leohard were Armored Warriors. Their attack style closely matched Lilia's descriptions—they shared the same ability as the armed forces to absorb enemy attacks but were far superior.

Not only did they possess independent thinking capabilities and have longer lifespans, not like the armed forces which were assembled hastily and later discarded as cannon fodder, they continually recorded the opponent's attack force and style within their body, countering with these skills during combat. Furthermore, they boasted strong defensive and regenerative abilities.

These traits allowed an Armored Warrior to grow stronger the more battles he participated in, a genuinely increasingly powerful combat entity.

As if this wasn't troublesome enough, these Armored Warriors also practiced combined assault techniques. Every ten Armored Warriors could collectively unleash an attack exponentially stronger than their individual force.

Behind them stood a group of complicit Disaster Spreaders serving as accomplices. When Pei Yan personally joined the battlefield, he finally realized why the Demon Race had given them such a moniker.
