Liang Qian's words jolted everyone awake. Considering the possibility, Pei Yan gave his forehead a hard slap and rushed into the main tent to call out to Samikina, who was attending the final meeting before the battle: "Has the Disaster Legion shown any signs of change?"

Inside the tent, Samikina didn't raise his head, continuing to look at the 3D projection equipment set up by Pei Yan. While he praised this equipment for its comprehensive battlefield overview, he was also amazed by the rapid technological progress of the Foundation Plane. Upon hearing Pei Yan's inquiry, he casually replied, "Your reconnaissance equipment is far more advanced than ours, you'd know all the info before us. If there were any movement from them, I should be the one asking you!" After saying that, Samikina looked up at the sweat-drenched Pei Yan and smiled.

"The three territories have shown some movement but the response is minor. What I'm worried about is that with such a big operation, after the battle starts, if the enemy senses the chance of failure, they might move the Star Lord." Pei Yan said urgently. Before this, he had fallen into a blind spot, only considering that if the attack started and the enemy couldn't withstand, they might kill the Star Lord. Though not perfect, achieving the goal through this outcome was acceptable, but if the enemy directly took the Star Lord and fled, capturing the three Disaster Territories would still leave the secret of the Sanctuary Starplate vulnerable to be cracked.

"Sifuer, didn't you explain this clearly to Mr. Shitang?" Samikina turned to glance at Sifuer next to him and then continued to Pei Yan, "I thought you knew. A Star Lord who harnesses the power of the Sanctuary Starplate cannot leave the domain they are responsible for. Otherwise, wouldn't they feel much safer in the Holy City? This is also why the Disaster Legion did not relocate the Star Lord after capturing him."

Hearing this, Pei Yan felt halfway relieved and walked to the table to pour himself a drink to soothe his throat as he continued, "There is no time to lose, delay breeds complexity. I still underestimated the scale of this army. Such a large army gathering, even if the Disaster Legion does not prioritize reconnaissance, the enemy will eventually discover it with time. Losing the element of surprise in attack and giving the enemy time to gather their forces will result in a higher casualty rate for us."

"Exactly so. Before you arrived, the vanguard for this operation was already assembled." As Samikina spoke, he gestured to the three individuals on his right, "Leohard, Du Le, Kodwen."

Upon hearing Samikina's introduction, the three of them stepped forward in unison and respectfully bowed to Pei Yan. With a gesture towards the map, Samikina continued, "According to the original plan, we will concentrate all superior firepower to first take down the Walton Disaster Territory, then Du Le will carry out battlefield cleanup tasks, while Leohard and Kodwen will set up blocking lines on both flanks. Once the main force arrives, it will launch a full-scale attack on the Snow Peak Territory. Just as you said, to ensure the surprise of the battle, this time we will not include the vassal army and use thirty thousand elite Demon Race fighters instead." Samikina paused, glanced at Kodwen, the seasoned soldier heading to the battlefield, and corrected himself.

"Good, my personnel are already in place!" Pei Yan said as he glanced at his watch and then out the window. Considering the Hell Plane's trait of instant nightfall, there was one hour left till night. He looked up and said, "Have the strike force ready to move out in one hour!"

An hour later, within the night-shrouded off-road vehicle, listening to the roaring sounds of cavalry marching alongside, those inside the vehicle were tense to the extreme. Besides the three cavalry commanders named by Samikina, Bailang and three Controllers also joined the assault mission, with Sifuer and Samikina overseeing from the rear. Once news of success came from the front lines, they would lead the army to advance fiercely to the battlefield.

"So, it's about to start!" Wang Wenze said, chewing gum with a face full of tension. He jestingly looked at Jiang Feiyang beside him, "This time you're the main character, our capabilities here can't compare to yours!"

"Right, being stuck at the base had driven me crazy, now there's finally a chance to utilize my skills! Today is the time for a man's fame to spread across the four Planes." Jiang Feiyang, with a toothpick in his mouth, pretended to be relaxed, but the creaking sound from the toothpick betrayed his nervousness.

"Do you remember what I said before we set off?" Pei Yan turned his head to look at the two, his face stern.

"What did you say?" The two were puzzled for a moment. After a while, Jiang Feiyang nodded, "I know, ensure the task given by the organization is completed!"

Pei Yan rolled his eyes and slapped both of them on the head each, then picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted in Mandarin, "Remember, I'll emphasize it once more. If things go wrong, run away! There are plenty more chances in the future, don't lose your life here!"

Hearing this, laughter erupted from inside and around the four off-road vehicles.

Under the moonlight, making it halfway to their destination, Pei Yan's group left their vehicles, moving swiftly ahead to reach the pre-scouted point. Looking at the Walton Disaster Territory camp in the distance which was starting to get restless, Pei Yan said regretfully, "Have we been detected?"

"That's quite normal." Bailang, intrigued, watched as he pulled figures of soldiers from his dimensional storage and tossed them onto the ground, transforming into animated, running forms, and with the impressive weapons known as cannons that once displayed great power in the meeting. While marveling at this, he continued, "Here, we can hear the marching of the cavalry loud and clear. It's impossible for the Disaster Legion not to detect it."

"Is the Warlock Group ready?" Pei Yan turned back and casually asked the Demon Race soldier setting up the Teleportation Mirror beside him.

"Completed right after you set out, we're ready to attack at your command." Bailang rubbed his hands with excitement at the sight they were soon to witness.

"Very good!" At this moment, Pei Yan was filled with excitement as he turned back to see the artillery that has been quickly set up and asked, "Old Jiang, how's your preparation coming along?"

"In five minutes, at your command, we can commence the attack!"

Pei Yan nodded in satisfaction and then looked over at Catherine, the foreign beauty who was once in divine favor, smiling as he asked, "How about you?"

"Like you, I don't need as much trouble as him, ready to attack at any time!" Catherine grinned, her dimples showing sweetly as she smiled.

Pei Yan nodded and then looked over at Ye Ruozai. Without his reminder, Xia Yu had already placed her hand on his shoulder, and rows of Longswords were hovering, ready to strike.

After Jiang Feiyang signaled that everything was in place, Pei Yan slowly rose into the air, flicking his hand to reveal a barrage of specially made shells appearing before him.

Bailang looked up to see Pei Yan, whose originally bright silver mech had turned into a fearsome dark hue due to the fused Demon Race armor, resembling a Demon God Mecha. At this moment, he was surrounded by blinding electric currents, exuding a dangerous aura.
