After ordering the Teleportation Mirror towards the Napas Valley to manipulate the Demon Race and keep the Mirror in a continuous teleportation state, Pei Yan quietly led the team to the bottom of Napas Valley, within the territory of the Disaster Pillar, enveloped by the red Disaster Legion outskirts.

Unlike the Bull Territory, this place had no steep high grounds to defend against attacks, the flat valley bottom was extremely suitable for a large attacking force, which is why the number of Disaster Legions stationed here was far greater than in the Bull Territory.

However, at the moment, most of the stationed legions showed signs of moving out; besides the core troops that had already gone to the Bull Territory, even two queen insects were being escorted slowly to the outskirts of the valley by numerous enslaved creatures.

"Are these guys dumb? Didn't they consider that this place could be raided?" asked Xia Yu, holding the binoculars given by Pei Yan, looking puzzled at the vacated camp at the bottom of Napas Valley. Even someone like her, who wasn't very interested in historical military culture, understood tactics like encircling to provide assistance and besieging Wei to rescue Zhao. Would this basic tactic be unknown to the Disaster Legion, which had been fighting the Demon Race for twenty to thirty years?

"Sometimes, too much smooth sailing may not be a good thing," Ye Ruozai put down the binoculars in his hand, thoughtful.

"Indeed!" said Pei Yan, who already understood the situation, no longer observing, as he turned and leaned against a low tree stump, sighing, "Had I not repeatedly scouted and confirmed several times, I would suspect if this is a trap set by the other party against us. A series of victories and successive raids made these guys completely lower their guard. I bet they haven't figured out yet where such power comes from in the rear to break through the Disaster Pillar territory, and based on the situation I learned before from Kodwen's mouth, the war here is more accustomed to strength-against-strength frontal combat with limited tactical application."

Speaking up to this point, Pei Yan turned his head and glanced again at the Disaster Pillar territory, muttering, "But we can't underestimate them because of this. From my observation, this so-called Disaster Legion has a characteristic."

"What characteristic?" Zhao Yuanhu asked, puzzled.

"Their learning ability is incredibly strong!" Pei Yan grinned, removed his faceplate, took a sip of water then said, "Did you not notice after observing and fighting these times that the Disaster Legion's warfare style is very similar to the Demon Race's?"

"Hmm! It does seem a bit like that, but what's the issue with that? Maybe that's how they originally fought!" Xia Yu asked, confused.

"If it were like that, it'd be fine, but I have a hunch that this Disaster Legion is imitating the other's combat style to handle the war, which if true, makes them tricky!" Pei Yan said, confused as he held the bottled water in his hand. He didn't know if what he was doing now was right or wrong, just as he carefully used his innate core power, not fearing failure, but fearing his rash actions may bring an irreparable disaster to his own world.

Ye Ruozai saw his confusion and went forward to pat his shoulder in comfort, "Don't overthink. You've done very well already. Even if Gu Shenghui were in your place, he would not necessarily do better. In this world, there's never a flawless and foolproof way; excessive worry only makes one lose direction. Even if your guess is accurate, these Disaster Legions can't do everything like us; certain things and their essence can't be learned through mere imitation."

"Hopefully so!"

"When do we launch the attack?" Zhao Yuanhu pursued.

"Wait a bit more! When their vanguard is nearly in contact with Sifuer, I'll take them by surprise!" Pei Yan stretched out his hand, slapping his own cheeks repeatedly to adjust his mood before closing the faceplate and speaking fiercely.

Then he looked at Ye Ruozai and said, "After destroying this Disaster Pillar here, once I absorb the dissipated power, my body will stiffen for a while. You all protect me into the Teleportation Mirror to transfer into the junction battlefield. Let this battle's situation pause temporarily until we eliminate their elite troops, then return to handle them slowly!"

"No problem!"

Within the dense forest at the junction, everyone was nervously watching the clearing outside the forest before the big battle. The heavy atmosphere spread within the forest as squads of scouts reported news, exciting yet nervous soldiers.

"The offensive at the Bull Territory is in a stalemate, Leohard ascended the Bull Territory thrice and was repelled thrice, but the enemy is at the end of their resources. I guess they're about to play their final card." Bairang, riding on an eight-legged giant beast, smirked, turning his head to smile at Sifuer.

"Hmm!" Sifuer did not show a joyful smile; instead, her jade hand resting on the sword hilt tightened a bit more.

Like Ye Ruozai far away in the valley, Bairang also saw his niece's pre-battle nervous state and quietly comforted, "You've done well for your first time commanding such a battle. Once you've decided, don't waver! Carry it through, I believe you'll eventually lead the Kataraga Autonomous Territory back to glory!"

"Uncle, will his plan really proceed smoothly?" Sifuer asked, looking resolutely outside the forest, not allowing anyone to see her inner panic, lowering her voice.

Bairang sighed lightly, following her gaze, and said, "So far, his plan has been implemented smoothly. As you deduced, he desires victory and has no reason to harm us, right? As long as he destroys their Disaster Pillar at the critical moment, victory will belong to us!"

"May the Demon God bless!"

"May the Demon God bless!"

After the two coincidentally prayed aloud, a Demon Race scout rushed out urgently from the forest's edge. Before he could speak, Sifuer waved her hand to interrupt, "No need to say it, I know already!"

Indeed, there was no need for his report because that annoying blood-red hue could be seen in the distant sky's range, with the Disaster Legion's reinforcements arriving on schedule.

A full one thousand Red Armored Warriors, fifty Sleepers, two thousand temporarily assembled armed personnel at the camp, and the accompanying Observer Legion.

This force, even without the red Disaster shroud, would require a tremendous cost for Sifuer's troops to completely annihilate with just their manpower, but as long as victory is attained, all costs would be worthwhile!

Thinking of this, Sifuer turned her head, issuing a low command, "Pass the order for Leohard on the Bull Territory to prepare to retreat." Based on previous combat experience, when reinforcements approach, the enemy at the Bull Territory will activate the virtual pillar, and the connection of red Disasters from both sides can jointly eliminate the remaining enemies. Continuing Leohard's strong attack would only increase casualties pointlessly.

The messenger, receiving the order, swiftly ran towards another direction of the forest, while simultaneously, Sifuer, gripping the sword hilt, sheathed her longsword and commanded loudly, "All troops prepare for battle! For the glory of the Demon God!"

"For the glory of the Demon God!"

Following the echoed shout like a tidal wave inside the forest, everyone unfolded the arrangements as per the previous battle plan, all long-range attacking demons entered the predetermined positions, catapults were slowly set up, Hellhounds completed the fusion within the forest early, and the Harpies no longer concealed their tracks, soaring into the sky with a roar.
