Western Border, Eda Grand Canyon.

Looking down from above, one could see a very spectacular scene. Because it was the dry season, the river in the Eda Grand Canyon had dried up, and the exposed riverbed was covered in cracks.

The terrain of the Eda Grand Canyon was not steep. The winding mountain ranges on both sides were severely weathered; after stepping on them, they would shatter like coal ash, so there was no worry about ambushes on either side of the canyon.

At this time, the wolf cavalry legion was marching along the dried-up riverbed, the marching route bypassing the central region to reach the Northern Border.

The Western Border was now their own territory, or rather, from now on, any foreign troops stepping into the Western Border and the Southern Border would be a provocation to the Chaos Legion and would be surrounded and suppressed by the gray orc troops.

For the wolf cavalry legion to reach the Northern Border battlefield, the closest road was of course to pass through the central region, but the Duoyin Empire would not agree to the wolf cavalry legion entering the country.

With the marching speed of the wolf cavalry legion, except for Duoyin's Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment which could block them, other legions could only eat dust behind them.

This also meant that once the wolf cavalry were allowed to enter, and if the wolf cavalry legion harbored evil intentions, it was not impossible for them to directly attack Duoyin's royal capital. At this current time, Duoyin's Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment was already on the front line.

Su Xiao did not care about detouring from the Western Border to the Northern Border. He was heading to the Northern Border this time, and unless it was a very important battle, he was not prepared to go all out. Duoyin and the Northern Border exhausting each other was the scene he was most willing to see.

Therefore, with the marching speed of the wolf cavalry legion, it took a full two days of marching to reach the border line of the Northern Border.

Northern Border border line.

The temperature here was not cold. At this time, they had not yet reached the 'Wall of Yatade', which was commonly known among the people as the Great Ice Wall. Only after passing the 'Wall of Yatade' could one be considered to have officially entered the Northern Border.

The Polar Ice Lord would of course not place the main battlefield on his own territory, so the main battlefield between Duoyin and the Northern Border was located thirty kilometers in front of the Wall of Yatade, with a large area horizontally being the war zone.

It had just rained last night, and the ground was muddy. It was interesting to say that after passing the Wall of Yatade, the temperature reached below -40°C, while outside the 'Wall of Yatade', the temperature was around ten-plus degrees above zero.

Sitting cross-legged on the dragon's back, Su Xiao looked forward. As far as the eye could see, it was full of military camps of Duoyin troops, densely packed into a large area.

Bang.

A signal flare rose into the sky. Orc Hero Warpol threw down the metal tube in his hand, and the red signal flare exploded high in the sky.

Before long, a green signal flare rose in the distance; it was the signal from the Duoyin side. The two armies were about to close in. If they didn't greet each other in advance, the contact of such large-scale armies would cause a lot of trouble.

Among the large area of camps in the distance, soldiers rushed out. They quickly formed ranks and, led by two people, came to meet the wolf cavalry legion.

When the two sides were dozens of meters apart, the wolf cavalrymen stopped. On the opposite side, these Duoyin infantrymen were all a bit stunned. It was their first time seeing the wolf cavalry, and this was a completely different momentum from the gray orc troops they had fought before.

Standing in front of the thousands of infantrymen were a man and a woman. The man among them was an old acquaintance, Diplomat Deforton.

That Diplomat Deforton could reach the front line so quickly was most likely due to the power of the spell formation.

The female officer standing beside Diplomat Deforton was named Au Fu, and she was the Physician Chief of the Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment.

Don't underestimate her. In the Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment, offending Legion Commander Turt would at most result in punishment; that Legion Commander was famously protective of his subordinates. Although born a great noble, that Legion Commander was usually easygoing with people, but extremely iron-blooded during war, and while he was loved, he was also feared.

But if you offended the 'frail' Physician Chief Au Fu, it was best not to get injured, otherwise, you would be left with an unforgettable experience for the rest of your life. The injuries would be healed, but the process during that time was very hard to endure.

The black dragon descended from above. With a boom, mud splashed on the ground. Barbados lowered its dragon wings, and Su Xiao walked down along the dragon wings.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away on the opposite side, Physician Chief Au Fu took a deep breath. She was a middle-to-upper-level officer in the Duoyin Empire, but at this moment, what she had to face was the controller of the Chaos Legion.

Although the Chaos Legion had four Great Lords with no distinction between high and low among them, in the eyes of all factions, Su Xiao was the true controller of the Chaos Legion. The territory that the Chaos Legion currently occupied, which was one-third of the entire Azure Dragon Continent, was what Su Xiao had recaptured.

Physician Chief Au Fu and Deforton both stepped forward. The two sides that were originally hostile were now united due to the change in the situation.

"Great Lord Bai Ye, we have been waiting for you for a long time. The front line is in urgent need of your assistance."

Diplomat Deforton smiled and stepped forward. After the previous negotiations, his soaring success in the Duoyin Empire was inevitable.

Su Xiao ordered the 600,000 wolf cavalrymen to station themselves here, took Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, and walked toward the camp in front.

Five minutes later, Su Xiao, Diplomat Deforton, and Physician Chief Au Fu were all seated, and the meal had long been prepared.

Through Deforton's narration, Su Xiao understood the general situation of the front line. At this time, on the main battlefield, the Duoyin side had 3.2 million soldiers, and the Northern Border had 3.15 million. This was only the front line; troops in other war zones were not included in the statistics.

The military strength of Duoyin and the Northern Border was far more than this; both sides had accumulated for too long.

In addition to the situation on the main battlefield, Duoyin's Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment had already rushed into enemy territory at this time. It was Duoyin that used spell formations to destroy a section of the 'Wall of Yatade', and the Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment took the opportunity to break into it.

The Duoyin side's intention was to have Su Xiao's wolf cavalry legion cross the main battlefield as soon as possible, enter the territory of the Northern Border, join forces with the Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment, intercept between the main battlefield and the Northern Border's Winter City, cut off their supplies, and thereby cause the enemy's large troops to collapse.

The ideal was very plump, but the reality was very skinny. The Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment led by Legion Commander Turt had broken into the Northern Border two days ago, and it could be said that they had killed their way through. Just as they were preparing to cut off the enemy's supply line and entangle with the enemy by relying on their mobility, they were educated by a heavy hammer unit.

If the Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment hadn't been elite enough, they would have really been left there forever. That heavy hammer unit had an average height of about four meters, and their full-body armor was two fingers thick, with frost all over the outside of the armor.

Their weapons were a type of heavy hammer with a length of over 4 meters and a hammer head of nearly 2 meters long. These were a bunch of super iron-headed fools.

What was even more outrageous was that these super iron-headed fools all had a pair of thick black feathered wings on their backs, which looked as if they had been poured with petroleum. They were very strong and tough, and these super iron-headed fools could fly.

The heavy hammers descending from the sky truly stunned the Holy Emblem Cavalry Regiment. Legion Commander Turt was also injured. If it had been any other Duoyin unit, they would have had no chance to retreat and would have been completely wiped out in the hands of this heavy hammer unit.

"They can even fly? What the hell, they even have an air force?"

Baha looked at Diplomat Deforton and Physician Chief Au Fu, and the two remained silent.

"Hard to handle."

Baha spread its wings, signaling that the wolf cavalry legion had no way either. In reality, of course, that wasn't the case. If Duoyin didn't bring out something, the wolf cavalry legion wouldn't step half a step into the Northern Border.

Just as the negotiations fell into a stalemate, a figure walked into the camp. She carried a war scythe on her back, wore backless leather clothing, her short black hair was very smooth, and those pupils were black to the point of being soul-stirring.

The newcomer seemed to have no low reputation in the Duoyin Empire. She was calm when walking into the camp, but when she saw Su Xiao, she suddenly turned around on the spot, pretending she hadn't seen anything, and walked toward the outside of the camp with large strides.

"Hey, you look a bit familiar to me."

Baha spoke, and Amu on the side took out the Dragon Heart Axe, carrying this large axe on its shoulder, with cold air rising.

Mu Xiao's footsteps paused. She had her back to Su Xiao, lowered her head slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said:

"Familiar? My name is Patricia. Have we met before?"

Mu Xiao had her back to Su Xiao, tilting her head slightly, letting Su Xiao only see her side profile. She felt that she might be done for here.
