Prepare for war, a battleground for military strategists!

Night slowly descended.

The once incredibly dim night was now brightly lit.

Not far away.

The Demon Army had already constructed defensive fortifications and set up camp.

Although the Moro Realm was a loose union, under the absolute military might of the Wind Clan, they had long been united as one.

Large numbers of Mountain Clan Demons were transporting stone materials, Fire Clan Demons were forging weapons, and Wood Clan Demons were setting up tents.

The entire camp had clear divisions of labor, and at a glance, there was a mechanical beauty to it.

In just a few hours, the defensive fortifications were completed.

Even for easier offense.

They dispatched Wind Clan Demons, who were skilled in speed and stealth, to clear all earth, rocks, and trees from the five-kilometer terrain between the Gods Grace Army Camp and the Demon Army.

They transformed the terrain into one more suitable for their attack.

Of course.

Blue Star did not stand by idly and watch them do this.

The five-kilometer open space between the two armies was destined to be the meat grinder of the first major battle.

Li Yunfei and Chu Yunlong also dispatched assassin-type professions to perform similar tasks.

Many engineers and life professionals were building trenches, chevaux de frise, and burying landmines in the central area between the two camps.

Some hunters followed the teams, setting traps in hidden areas.

In the army camp.

Necromancers, Druids, Summoners, and Mechanics, these four professions were not idle either.

They were frantically mass-producing troops!

They aimed to stockpile cannon fodder for the front lines before the first major battle, to avoid excessive losses in the initial wave.

In this battle, both sides had very clear objectives.

That was to devour the other!

For the Moro Realm, these two hundred thousand people were just the vanguard.

Within the Moluo Empire, there were even more armies.

Although they didn't know why they had entered Blue Star territory, with Blue Star controlling the dungeon and cutting off their retreat, they were not flustered.

First, before leaving the dungeon, they had already detected that only a First-Order Blue Star professional had appeared inside the dungeon.

Even if the opponent controlled the dungeon and appeared in the rear, it would not affect their plan in any way.

The Moluo Empire had true gods, and they only needed to wait to handle the current battlefield.

Once the time was right, they could complete the breakthrough of this military fortress!

Boom!

In the darkness, both army camps were brightly lit, artillery roared, and the sky-high smoke and flames illuminated the night as if it were day.

For both forces, this great battle was inevitable.

So they were both tacitly preparing, without launching an attack.

This night.

The Demon Army was not idle.

After constructing their defensive fortifications and camp, they continued to expand outwards.

They built dozens of watchtowers and a mage tower.

In addition.

In front of the camp.

Countless cavalry spread out in a long line, covering the entire battlefield.

At the forefront of these cavalry were Wind Clan Demons, who were the fastest and responsible for reconnaissance.

Behind them were large numbers of wolf riders!

They did not have specific professional distinctions or specialized skill books.

But this precisely gave them more opportunities to choose skills.

Although the environment in the Moro Realm was harsh, the strength and number of exotic beasts were much greater than on Blue Star.

However, due to resource scarcity.

All top-tier demonic beasts were only allowed to be used by nobles and the military to fuse into summoned beasts!

Seeing this.

All the professionals in the Gods Grace Army Camp felt their hearts pounding, clenching their fists.

This war was destined to be a fight to the death!

Once the Gods Grace Army Camp was breached.

None of them would survive!

They could not retreat!

Once they retreated, it would be hundreds of kilometers of continuous plains!

It would be abundant extraordinary resources.

It would be the best military supply for the Demon Army of the Moro Realm!

Thump thump thump—

Behind the Gods Grace Army Camp, forces continuously converged.

Initially, two thousand Second-Order students from Jianghai City universities provided support.

Subsequently, members of various guilds from all over the country arrived.

Many of their hometowns were not Jianghai City; they had been developing here for years because of Jianghai City's resources.

Although they often criticized Jianghai City for gathering so many elite professionals from other cities, which hindered the development of smaller cities.

But they were not foolish.

The root cause was the influence of the Moro Realm, which prevented people from these smaller cities from freely entering and exiting the main city like Jianghai City.

Now that the source that caused them to be unable to return home or move freely within their homes had appeared, all professionals were filled with anger.

The Moro Realm and Blue Star, only one could exist!

Time slowly passed.

The Demon Race setting up camp here and opting for a stable offense, ironically gave the Gods Grace Army Camp a chance to breathe!

By dawn.

The forces here at the Gods Grace Army Camp would definitely reach three hundred thousand!

...

At the same time.

Inside the dungeon within the Divine Grace Cemetery.

Lin Xuan's figure reappeared on the Fifth Floor of the Dungeon.

On the Second Level of the Underground Palace, he took the opportunity to snatch the World BOSS.

Subsequently, he quickly killed nearly ten thousand Demon Race members who remained there.

After that.

Lin Xuan entered the First Level of the Underground Palace to deal with the dungeon BOSS on the First Level of the Underground Palace.

After obtaining the dungeon core, he informed Teacher Li Ming of the news that he had control of the dungeon.

At that time.

Upon learning that the black fog in the Divine Grace Cemetery had dissipated and the two armies were confronting each other.

Lin Xuan quickly descended again, returning to the Fifth Floor of the Dungeon.

The dungeon core had an effective time of twenty-four hours, meaning that only if you cleared a certain level and possessed the core of that level, could you use the dungeon core to enter adjacent levels within the next twenty-four hours.

Lin Xuan's reason for returning to the Fifth Floor of the Dungeon.

Naturally, it was to deal with the nearly five thousand Demon Race members who had come from the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace.

At this moment.

They had already reached the Sixth Level of the Underground Palace.

"They're quite fast."

Lin Xuan smiled lightly.

Holding the core of the previous Sixth Level of the Underground Palace, he opened a portal and entered the Sixth Level of the Underground Palace.

Outside the dungeon, nearly five hundred thousand troops from two civilizations were about to engage in a major battle.

Lin Xuan decided to quickly gain control of the dungeon, then leave the dungeon, using the Guanghan Palace Ruins as a transit point, and return to the Gods Grace Army Camp.

Of course.

If he could, before the war broke out.

If he could persuade Change at the Guanghan Palace Ruins to take action and deal with the Demon Army of the Moro Realm.

Lin Xuan felt that if it could be achieved.

It would definitely be much better.

After all.

This battlefield was too important.

One must know.

After the Great Cataclysm, Jianghai City's location moved significantly northward.

Once the Divine Grace Cemetery was breached.

The Demon Army of the Moro Realm would directly approach Jianghai Main City.

At that time.

The entire Xia Kingdom would be in turmoil.

Lin Xuan knew the importance of this terrain.

When he was on Earth, his geography wasn't great, but he often read history.

Since ancient times, Pengcheng has been listed among the Nine Provinces, a place of dragon and tiger struggles for thousands of autumns.

According to the comparison of terrain.

In history, the current main city of Jianghai City, to the north, was Xuzhou, also known as Pengcheng, which used to be the border area of the four provinces of Su, Lu, Yu, and Wan.

Further back, it was also called Zhuolu!

This place has always been a north-south strategic fortress in the Central Plains of the Xia Kingdom since ancient times.

Many large-scale battles occurred here in history.

In ancient times, there was the Battle of Zhuolu between the Yellow Emperor's tribe united with the Yan Emperor's tribe against Chiyou, and the Battle of Pengcheng during the Chu-Han Contention.

More recently, there were the Battle of Taierzhuang during the Anti-Japanese War and the later Huaihai Campaign, which laid the foundation of the nation.

This place, it can be said, has always been a strategically important location for military strategists.

Therefore.

The Xia Kingdom could not afford to lose this battlefield!

Of course.

Lin Xuan also understood at this moment that the Moro Realm was well-prepared.

The Xia Kingdom also had another anomalous area, the Sanxingdui Life Forbidden Zone in Xiangchuan City!

That place was another historical hotspot, Jingzhou!

"Whew—"

Lin Xuan emerged from the portal and entered the Fourth Level of the Underground Palace.

He had to quickly resolve the battle here and find a way to make Change from the Guanghan Palace Ruins take action!

If not, he would re-enter the dungeon, accumulate a million-strong army on the First Level of the Underground Palace, and ambush the rear of this Demon Army of the Moro Realm!
