Three days later, within the White Stork Empire, a hundred thousand strong army had assembled and was waiting for the orders of Yi Lan.

"For our country! For our glory! For our compatriots to survive on this continent as soon as possible, let the battle begin!" Yi Lan raised his right arm high and shouted.

"For our glory!"

"For our compatriots to survive on the continent as soon as possible!"

"March!"

With Yi Lan's command, the hundred thousand strong army advanced towards the territory of the Crescent Empire.

Yin Chuan watched the army gradually disappear from his sight. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze gleaming deep within.

"Sun-Moon Empire, you must take advantage of this opportunity," Yi Yin Chuan sneered inwardly.

...

Within the territory of the Crescent Empire.

"I haven't attacked you barbarians from the Ruined Land, yet you can't wait to invade our Crescent Empire."

In the palace, Tadefin heard the news of the impending attack from the Ruined Land barbarians and couldn't help but get angry. He slapped the dragon throne with a loud bang, "These barbarians are too audacious! If it weren't for the Sun-Moon Empire being the demons' lair, I would have sent our troops to wipe out these Ruined Land barbarians long ago."

"Tadefin, what do you plan to do next?" Mayi, the mist angel, asked. "Shall I lead the troops to exterminate them?"

Tadefin pondered for a long time and said, "Let's hold our ground for now and use the ballista fortifications. I don't think these Ruined Land barbarians would risk their lives to forcefully attack the city. If they are truly without fear of death, let them come."

"In that case, once the city walls are breached, our ballistas will be rendered useless," Mayi said.

"I understand," Tadefin nodded. "Mayi, have you considered that if we engage in combat with the Ruined Land barbarians outside the city, the demons from the Sun-Moon Empire might take advantage?"

"You're worried that the Sun-Moon Empire will seize the opportunity to plunder from us?" Mayi raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, if they dare to come and take advantage, we will inform the Martial Angel to kill the demon emperor," the mist angel Yani said contemptuously.

"That's fine," Tadefin nodded slightly. "How should we notify the Martial Angel in the Crimson Empire?"

"That's simple, Angela can transmit messages to the Martial Angel through telepathy. As long as the demons dare to attack us, their majesties will pay the price!" Yani said.

"But Angela is a healing angel. How can she possess telepathy?" Tadefin asked with confusion.

"Angela is a healing angel, but she can also heal mental wounds. How do you not know even a fellow's abilities?" Yani glanced disdainfully at Tadefin.

Tadefin chuckled and changed the subject, "How could I not know? But let's get back on track. Since we are not afraid of the demons' surprise attacks, I will lead the army to annihilate all the hundred thousand Ruined Land barbarians."

After the words were spoken, Tadefin turned to his adjutant, "Gather one hundred thousand soldiers to battle against these Ruined Land savages."

"Understood." The adjutant bowed and withdrew.

The news of the army's assembly quickly spread throughout the entire imperial capital, quickly attracting the attention of the people.

"The Ruined Land savages are coming again?"

"It seems like we are taking the initiative this time. Our majesty is like an angel, and victory belongs to us."

"That's right, we must unite and defend against the enemy."

"..."

The residents in the imperial capital were discussing fervently, a surge of passion rushing through their veins, causing their faces to flush red.

After hearing the news, Davis' anger burned within him, and he clenched his fist. "These damn Ruined Land savages destroyed my country, ruined my home! I must seek revenge."

Initially, when the Crescent Empire was attacked by the Ruined Land savages, as a neighboring country and having received assistance from the Crescent Empire before, the monarch of White Stork sent Davis to lead the knight order to support the Crescent Empire.

When Davis and his knight order arrived at the Crescent Empire, they saw the soldiers of the Crescent Empire cleaning up the battlefield. Later, Davis discovered that the Ruined Land savages were feigning an attack on the Crescent Empire, their real target being the White Stork Empire, so he led the knight order back.

When Davis arrived at the White Stork Empire, he saw that it had already fallen into the hands of the Ruined Land savages.

Countless brethren were killed by these savages, filling Davis' heart with hatred and pain, but he was powerless and could only bear this resentment.

Now, the opportunity to kill the savages had presented itself, and he naturally wouldn't let go of such a good chance.

Davis immediately headed towards the palace and found Tadefin, pleading with him to allow the knight order to participate in the battle alongside the army.

Upon hearing this, Tadefin hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed to Davis' request.

"Be careful with your knight order. There aren't many of us from White Stork left. Try to minimize casualties," Tadefin sighed and advised Davis, "You also need to be careful."

"I will," Davis respectfully bowed.

After a brief conversation, Tadefin left.

...

"Are you going to war?"

In the room of the Empress Dowager of the Crescent Empire, she sat upright on the edge of the bed, holding a book in her hand. She spoke casually without even glancing at it.

"Yes, Mother."

"Son, this is a talisman I made for you. You must wear it. It will protect you and keep you safe."

The Empress Dowager took out a round talisman made of red cloth from her pocket. It was woven with golden threads and emitted a faint glow.

"Thank you, Mother."

Tadefin accepted the talisman, respectfully bowed, and then withdrew.

Watching Tadefin's departing figure, the Empress Dowager sighed and murmured to herself, "My son, please come back safely."

Queen Luna knows that her son is the Steel Angel, immune to sword attacks, but she still worries.

...

The night falls upon the land, as the moon quietly rises and the stars adorn the darkness.

The night sky is dazzling, like sparkling diamonds, illuminated by the moonlight. A force of one hundred thousand soldiers, equipped with heavy weapons such as crossbows and spears, sets off from the Crescent Empire, heading towards the battlefield.

The army halts fifty kilometers away from the Crescent Empire border. "Scouts, advance and report the enemy situation promptly."

"Yes, sir!" One soldier takes the lead, accompanied by ten others, and ventures forward.

"Crossbowmen, fire up the crossbows! Once I give the order, you must release all the arrows within one minute!"

"Understood!" Thousands of crossbowmen reply in unison, and begin to calibrate their arrows.

"After the crossbows are fired, all soldiers except the magicians shall charge forward with me. The magicians' task is to engage in long-range attacks from behind, dealing heavy blows to the enemy!" Tadefin's voice echoes through the night sky.

"Yes!" Thousands of soldiers shout in unison, "Kill these damned barbarians!"

A thick atmosphere of battle fills the air, everyone's expression serious.

Once all preparations are complete, they silently await the arrival of the Ruined Land barbarians.
