"I finally understand why the battles get harder as we go on, once the Demon Lord Chi You decides to fight fiercely, it's simply impossible to lose!"

At this moment, the power brought by Demon Lord Chi You was not the entirety of the Ancient Era's historical forces, but the stacking of multiple forces still gave the Restorers an overwhelming advantage.

"There's no other way, we just have to choose the lesser of two evils, make a decision quickly, the front line can't hold much longer!" Canshang reminded.

Meng Yuan shook his head, "I won't choose either of the two!

"After all, Chi You is a great demon from the Ancient Era, and this is a historical slice of the Chu Dynasty!

"I can't possibly go to the trouble of summoning heroes from the Ancient Era to fight strength with weakness; nor can I use heroes from another era to make a stand.

"Since it's the Chu Dynasty, then we should resolve this in the Chu Dynasty's way.

"I've decided... to bet all our forces on General Wei Huo!"

Meng Yuan quickly made his decision.

This decision, although a bit rushed and a gamble, was the best he could think of.

At worst, he would just issue a notice to retreat, and then recruit players to start over again!

"Alright, do as you say." Canshang quickly gathered all the forces in the void, then continuously projected them toward the location of General Wei Huo!

...

In the vast black fog, General Wei Huo led tens of thousands of troops moving continuously forward.

Along the way, countless Beidi people were searching for their trails, setting up layers of checkpoints, guarding against their possible directions of attack.

But General Wei Huo was not overwhelmed by victory and did not confront these Beidi people head-on.

What if all possible routes were blocked?

Choose a relatively easier direction to break through?

No, the answer was to find another path where no one else was!

For ancient armies, this was nearly an impossible task, because replenishing supplies later on was simply too difficult.

Even though General Wei Huo's tactics didn't require logistics, always feeding off the enemy, adopting a war of attrition strategy, getting lost in the vast Great Desert could potentially lead to the annihilation of entire armies.

Natural environments posed a far greater threat than the Beidi people.

However, for General Wei Huo, it seemed as if he was fated to find the right path; he always managed to find it.

Bearing the harshness of wind and dew, marching thousands of miles, heading west, then north, crossing two deserts, taking a big detour, then finally going south along the Ruishui River and directly attacking the Qilian Mountain from behind, breaking through the Beidi army set up for pursuit and blockade.

After that, General Wei Huo continued leading his forces northward, moving on!

Endless righteous energy poured from the void into General Wei Huo, covering all the accompanying players. This righteous energy drove away the nearby Demonic Qi and aided their marching speed as though divinely assisted, seemingly allowing them to traverse thousands of miles in a short time!

Finally, under the effect of this righteous energy, the players saw the peaks shrouded in dark fog in the distance, as well as the stretched tents ahead; that was the royal court of the Beidi people in the Southern Desert.

No one knew how General Wei Huo managed to find this place, but no words were needed at this moment, for the players only had one thing to do.

"Kill!!"

...

The battle on the main front had reached its fiercest point, with players using all their ingenuity to resist Chi You's demonic soldiers, whose powerful forces kept pressing forward.

General Han Fuyue's heavy infantry couldn't hold out for long; muskets and cannons caused some damage to these demons with iron foreheads, but it still felt like a drop in the bucket.

Some players tried to use their exquisite skills and movement techniques to entangle with these demonic soldiers, delaying as much as possible, but it had little effect.

On the battlefield, individual bravery was hard to utilize, because both sides advanced in dense formations, and no matter how much dodging and agility were included in personal combat skills, space was needed to execute them, and there was simply no room in tight formations.

Players could only exchange injury for injury, life for life, but the entire battle line kept shrinking under the impact of these powerful demonic soldiers, and the risk of collapse loomed.

"We need to figure out a solution fast!"

The players were getting anxious, but Chu Ge and other commanders were out of options, as the current situation had long since stopped being about tactical skill. The demonic forces were unreasonably overpowering; what could they do?

However, just then, a beam of light flashed in the distance!

An immensely powerful righteous energy formed a gigantic column of light, piercing directly through the dark energy in the sky, melting away the surrounding Demonic Qi as if clearing the clouds to see the sun!

Moreover, this column of light continued to expand.

The players looked towards the distance, somewhat bewildered. That column was located far away; in real life, it would have been nearly invisible. But in this historical slice, geographical scales had been greatly reduced, and the column of light was indeed of an impressive size, so the players could vaguely see it.

And there, located behind Demon Lord Chi You, was a multitude of unknown places shrouded in black energy.

While the column of light soared into the sky, the players realized their previously blocked communication with the tens of thousands of players had been restored!

"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

"How's the situation on the front? Can you still hold on?"
