Under Leo Ray’s command, the subordinates didn’t hesitate and vanished like a trace of afterimages at the entrance of the Lord’s Mansion.

The moonlight was hazy, the shadow of the trees swayed, and the Demonic Shadow Forest in the night was tranquil and peaceful.

However, in between the towering trees, the figures of the six members swiftly darting through the darkness broke the silence, stirring up waves that hinted at the first glimmer of dawn driving away the darkness and bringing light to the earth once more.

In the racing team, Taylor, of course, led the way, with Serena Clark and Stella Clark in black clothes on both sides slightly behind him.

In the middle position was Scarlett with her hair in a ponytail.

At the end of the group, Gideon Black still wore his strange black priest robe, with his burly body and nimble flying technique, as the sparkling magic wings made him look like a heavy fighter jet, leaving no weaknesses in the back row.

As for Leo Ray, the lord, he naturally held the absolute center position in the group, as if on a roller coaster, experiencing the thrill of accelerating to 100 kilometers in 3.8 seconds.

About 30 minutes later, the group of six crossed the Demonic Shadow Forest from the south again at full speed.

“Lord, up ahead is a mixed area of hills and mountains; we’ll arrive at the battlefield near the border between the two countries in about a quarter of an hour,” Taylor’s rough voice came as Leo Ray noticed the view in front of him becoming clear.

“*Unintelligible words*

Due to Taylor’s speed being too fast, as soon as Leo Ray opened his mouth, he got a bellyful of wind and was in a broken voice state.

Without a doubt, this journey had been several times longer than the previous ones.

Leo Ray had no doubt that if he hadn’t advanced to Tier 2 by now, he would have fainted in Taylor’s arms, turning into a wailing monster.

And so, the group of six continued to move forward through the uneven hills for another ten minutes and finally stopped on a peak of nearly 100 meters high.

“My Lord, this is the border area between Coldflame and Saint Night,” Taylor introduced as Leo Ray landed steadily.

At the same time, Serena and Stella, Gideon Black, and Scarlett also descended and gathered around Leo Ray.

On the other side, with a slight nod, Leo Ray took a step forward on the top of the peak, squinting his eyes as he looked down below.

In the next second, he was met with a scene of devastation.

Smoke filled the air beneath the cliff; broken flags, shattered armor, and countless dead bodies covered the ground, as if they had just experienced a cruel judgment day.

At the same time, an overwhelming smell of blood rushed into Leo Ray’s nostrils, causing a nauseating churn in his stomach.

At this time, it was dawn, and the darkness in the sky had not yet completely disappeared.

The sun had just risen, casting its blood-red light, reflecting a crimson glow across the sky.

The red in the sky and the red on the ground complemented each other, making the sight even more horrifying to behold.

Seeing this, despite having experienced the trial of the Half-Orc Corps, Leo Ray couldn’t help feeling a chill run down his spine and cold sweat break out.Without a doubt, the large-scale battlefield scene before them was even more tragic than what they had seen in movies.

This kind of heart-stirring shock would be hard to completely describe with any language unless witnessed with one’s own eyes.

“My Lord, as you can see, this place has just experienced a large-scale battle yesterday.”

Taylor swung his sword, producing a sword aura that cut several vulture-like demonic beasts in half.

He continued, “As the battle is still ongoing, we haven’t had a chance to clean up the battlefield.”

Forcibly gathering his spirit, Leo Ray listened to the distant battle cries, and then continued to ask, ‘Which army is currently winning?

“My Lord, it’s our target, the Coldflame Army.”

After several rounds of fierce group charges, they managed to severely damage the two mage squads responsible for firepower support and the priest group responsible for healing in the Saint Night Army. This led to the chaos in the Saint Night Army’s formation and their eventual defeat.”

“Wow, a classic cavalry side strike tactic?” Hearing this, Leo Ray pondered, “What about the current state of the battle?”

“My Lord, after the main force of the Saint Night Army retreated, the Coldflame Army pursued and successively surrounded several scattered units of the Saint Night Army.

Then, the Coldflame Army divided its forces, taking control of several Saint Night Army strongholds and villages. In this battle, thus they have achieved complete victory.”

Taylor paused for a moment and continued, “However, since the main force of the Saint Night Army did not suffer a fatal blow,

they are currently gathering their remaining troops while preparing to counterattack and attempt to take back their lost territory.”

“Understood.”

Leo Ray furrowed his brows, unconsciously raising his half-clenched right hand, with his thumb resting on his cheek, and his index finger gently rubbing his nose. This was his usual habit when thinking.

After a moment, Leo Ray took a deep breath of the air filled with the scent of blood and asked, “What about the power balance between the two sides?”

“Replying to My Lord, according to my investigation, both armies have a similar number of high-ranking powerhouses.

Both army commanders are Tier 4 Peak Powerhouses. Under their command, there are two Tier 4 powerhouses, with around thirty Tier 3 powerhouses who are mostly officers above Middle Team level.

As for Tier 1 and Tier 2 lower-level officers and soldiers, there are over 20,000 on each side, with the potential of surpassing 30,000 considering the reserve forces.”

Although the Saint Night Army had lost several Tier 3 powerhouses and thousands of Tier 1 and Tier 2 soldiers after this battle, it had not reached the level of a crippling blow as Taylor mentioned earlier.”

Taylor responded respectfully.

“Understood. ”

After pondering for a moment, Leo Ray’s furrowed brows relaxed, and he continued, “We have basically understood the current situation and power balance between the two sides. What are your thoughts?”

On the other side, everyone showed a thoughtful expression and began to think..
