Chapter 556 The Demon Race Divides Its Forces to Attack Both Passes

"Demon Lord, at the mountain range before our pass, a large army of the Four-Eyed tribe has been spotted. Recently, Heavenly God Mountain has been continuously sending reinforcements to Ju Feng Pass!"

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, the battlefield in the western territories of the Northern Region is in critical condition!"

"Urgent report from the west, the Ancestor of Heavenly God Mountain, Huangfu Nian, personally leads the army, sweeping through many cities in the west. The west is in dire straits!"

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, two Demon Lords in the west have perished, and many cities in the west have been occupied by Heavenly God Mountain!"

"What?"

In less than half an hour, at the suggestion of Mao Xing, two Demon Lords and five hundred thousand demon soldiers were dispatched to penetrate the western part of the Northern Region, opening a new battlefield and turning passive into active.

In just a few short days, the newly opened situation was utterly shattered, and two Demon Lords were lost.

"Demon Lord Mao Xing, what should we do now?"

"The situation in the west has been dismantled by Heavenly God Mountain, and the Four-Eyed tribe is still sending endless reinforcements to Ju Feng Pass. In the east, the two major legions of the Great Han Empire are stationed at Lie Hai Pass. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us."

Demon Lord Wu Chen's expression changed, and he instantly stood up, his brow furrowed as he looked at the calm Demon Lord Mao Xing.

Currently, most of the top Venerables of the demon race have been deployed. Excluding Demon Lord Tian Si who is guarding the Demon Cloud Palace, only Demon Lord Xin Ren remains. It is impossible to send more troops to the Northern Region.

The current situation in the Northern Region must rely on the strength they currently control to open a new situation.

"It's fine."

Demon Lord Mao Xing smiled faintly, "Wu Chen, your impetuousness is something you can never change. Although we have lost two Venerables, it is worthwhile to have ascertained the foundation of Heavenly God Mountain and the Four-Eyed tribe."

"How so?"

Demon Lord Wu Chen's expression changed, and he looked at Demon Lord Mao Xing coldly.

"Our demon race has been attacking the Northern Region for several months, killing top Venerables Huangfu Yuze and Gan Xingsheng, and severely wounding Huangfu Shitian. Now, the old geezers of Heavenly God Mountain and the Four-Eyed tribe have appeared in the west and are dealing with two insignificant Venerables. Wu Chen, do you still not understand what I'm saying?"

Demon Lord Mao Xing said with a smile, then suddenly his smile disappeared, his expression turned cold, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"You mean, Heavenly God Mountain and the Four-Eyed tribe have no more top Venerables to send?"

Demon Lord Wu Chen hurried over, his tone rapid, "Demon Lord Mao Xing, it turns out that you ordered two Venerable Demon Lords and led troops to open up the western battlefield, to turn passive into active, and to share the pressure was a lie. It was to ascertain the true foundation of Heavenly God Mountain and the Four-Eyed tribe."

"But the price is too high."

"Not high!"

Demon Lord Mao Xing flatly denied, "When Huangfu Youyun appeared at Ju Feng Pass, I already had a guess. The loss of two Demon Lords and five hundred thousand soldiers was just to confirm my guess."

"Follow me!"

As Demon Lord Mao Xing finished speaking, he walked alone towards the adjacent room. The two pushed open the door and entered. Maps of Fengyan Pass, Ju Feng Pass, and Lie Hai Pass were clearly visible.

"Now that the Ancestor of Heavenly God Mountain is in the western part of the Northern Region, and wants to support Ju Feng Pass, the nearest teleportation array in the west also requires him to travel for a day. Within this day, it will be our best opportunity to take Ju Feng Pass."

"Huangfu Shitian is severely injured and his foundation is broken, so he is no threat. Ju Feng Pass only has Huangfu Youyun left as a top Venerable. Wu Chen, do you have the confidence to kill Huangfu Youyun and capture Ju Feng Pass?"

"Huangfu Youyun, I can sever his head with a flick of my hand!"

Demon Lord Wu Chen's eyes ignited with flames. His intense fighting spirit was completely ignited by Demon Lord Mao Xing's few words.

"Good!"

Demon Lord Mao Xing was overjoyed, "There are less than a million troops in the city now. You will lead six hundred thousand troops to attack Ju Feng Pass, kill Huangfu Youyun within a day, and capture Ju Feng Pass."

"As for me, I will lead the remaining four hundred thousand troops, march east, and position our forces before Lie Hai Pass to deter Xu Chu."

"Xu Chu alone can't stir up much trouble. Wu Chen, I'll give you only one day. If you can't capture it, take your own life to atone to the Ancestor!"

"Demon Lord Mao Xing, just watch. Huangfu Youyun is nothing!"

Demon Lord Wu Chen grinned.

...

"These demons are truly arrogant. My White Tiger Legion forcefully conquered the demon's defenses, shattered the first line of defense of the northern gate of the Demon Cloud Palace, and exerted pressure in all directions. Yet, these demons have only sent two top Venerables to guard the second line of defense."

"What?"

"Do they look down on us that much?"

At Sha Yu Pass in the northern territory of the Western Region's demon race, Yang Ye sat at the head of the table, holding a military report, and smiling at the generals and deputy generals of the White Tiger Army under his command.

"Hahaha!"

The generals burst into laughter.

"Commander, the demons underestimate us and have divided their forces towards the Northern Region. They are likely unable to cope on their own. Why don't we attack now and kill Gui Chen and Xing Gui? The second line of defense will surely collapse on its own," said Wu Jie, dressed in silver-white White Tiger armor, smiling at the generals, then looking at Yang Ye at the head of the table.

"General Wu speaks wisely. Let's not waste time with them. A single blow, kill the enemy commander, lead the troops straight into the northern gate, force out the Demon Ancestor, and have a good fight, wouldn't that be satisfying!"

He Yuanqing roared, slapping his chest armor with one hand. After becoming a top Venerable, He Yuanqing's fighting spirit was fierce, and he had long wanted to smash the four directions with his hammer.

"General Han, what do you think?"

Yang Ye smiled without speaking, looking at the eager generals eager to march.

"Commander, generals, in my opinion, breaking through the second line of defense of the Demon Cloud Palace's northern gate will not take much effort. My White Tiger Legion possesses four top Venerables and is the most powerful existence among the legions of our Great Han Empire. Commander, my suggestion is that before attacking the second line of defense, we should first conquer the cities in the rear to eliminate any future troubles!"

Han Shizhong's expression was serious, and he said respectfully.

"Indeed, General Han is right. If the rear is unstable, the army's morale will be unsettled. Although we have shattered the first line of defense and occupied Sha Yu Pass, many cities in the north are still controlled by demons."

"General Yan, receive your orders!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"I order you to lead one hundred thousand White Tiger soldiers and march north to eliminate all the demons in the north, securing our army's rear!"

"All generals!"

Yang Ye suddenly stood up, "Our army will attack the demon's second line of defense. I order the commander of the First Army, Han Shizhong, to have full control, with He Yuanqing and Wu Jie as his assistants to support the army. This battle must result in the beheading of Gui Chen and Xing Gui, and deter the demons of the Demon Cloud Palace!"

"All generals, lead your armies. The attack will commence in three days. I will be stationed at Sha Yu Pass, awaiting the triumphant return of the victorious army!"

"We respectfully obey the Marshal's orders!"

Han Shizhong, He Yuanqing, and the other heroes respectfully accepted their orders, their eyes flashing with killing intent, wishing they could lead their troops to attack the demons and kill Gui Chen and Xing Gui at that very moment!
