Protect Our Clan Leader

Sure enough, I wasn't mistaken. Wang Ying Xuan and the War Codex are indeed a perfect match. Awakening the War Codex specifically for her back then was the right decision.

Given time, there might soon be another War Goddess on this battlefield beyond the borders.

"Hehe, I wouldn't really let the Immortal Supreme become cannon fodder. This is what I call a tactical retreat to advance," Wang Ying Xuan quickly steered the conversation back, afraid that the Immortal Supreme would hold a grudge and make things hard for her later.

"This move by Yuxuan was very slick," Wu Yinghao praised with a beaming smile, "Your War Codex is also formidable, exceeding expectations."

Why wouldn't he be in a good mood? Not only did they rescue the prisoners, but they also managed to annihilate the Gluttonous Demon King, earning him continuous merits and a sense of pride.

"Not at all," Wang Ying Xuan said humbly with a smug demeanor, "Thanks to brother Yinghao's timely support."

The two of them exchanged compliments, making others listening get goosebumps.

"Alright, enough of that," the Immortal Supreme swiftly interrupted their shameless mutual admiration, "Although the rescue was timely, we still need to act fast to leave the enemy's rear area before the Giant Strength Demon King's Division and Black Wing Demon King's Division cut off our retreat."

The Gluttonous Demon King was first bombed to death along with his trusted aides and elites, then he charged out blindly in rage, giving them the opportunity.

The strength of those two Demon King Fortresses, however, remains intact, and this elite force cannot withstand them head-on. If we get encircled and our retreat is cut off, trouble will be significant.

At this moment.

A sharp whistle came from afar; it was Wang Dingfeng speeding in mid-air, the scout responsible for reconnaissance.

He was lurking nearby, and as soon as the fighting here was over, he came over immediately.

Wang Dingfeng looked a bit anxious. As soon as he landed, he reported the intelligence without greeting, "Immortal Supreme, three seniors, and Yinghao. I just received a message from the front-line scouts under my command. A few days ago, the Giant Strength Demon King's Division and the Black Wing Demon King's Division have already dispatched elite armies in full force, advancing from both flanks to encircle the central route, seemingly to block our retreat and besiege this area."

"A few days ago? Which exact day?" Wang Ying Xuan's eyes flashed as she immediately asked.

"To be precise, it was four days ago they left the fortress," Wang Dingfeng said with a heavy expression, "We need to quicken our pace to retreat, or once they form an encirclement, it will be difficult for us to break through the blockade and return to the human race's defensive zone."

"Hold on!"

Wang Ying Xuan landed on the ground and casually slapped her palm down, causing the sand and soil on the ground to be "shaved" off a layer under the surge of Mysterious Energy.

The sunken part was rectangular, and one could vaguely glimpse the mountain ridges, winding rivers, and discernible positions and fortifications, evidently a simple sand table.

And what the sand table presented was the rough deployment of the defense areas between the Demonic Clan and the Human race.

Wu Yinghao was dumbfounded, staring in astonishment: "Haven't you been training in the recruit camp? Where did you get the deployment map from?"

"I'll explain to you later," Wang Ying Xuan casually picked up the Red Tassel Spear and pointed to two fort-like positions on the sand table, "These are the Giant Strength Demon King Fortress and the Black Wing Demon King Fortress."

Saying so, she drew two lines on the sand table with the Red Tassel Spear.

"These are their army's marching routes and supply lines."

"The army is vast in number, hence their movement is slow. Based on the normal marching speed of the Demonic Clan army, they should have marched to somewhere around here by now."

She drew two circles to indicate the approximate position of the two Demon King armies.

"In less than a day's time, the two Demon King armies can successfully converge, forming a blockade." Wu Yinghao glanced at it, and his thoughts became instantly clear, with a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes, "Even if we rush back now, we cannot break through the blockade before they encircle us. Once we try to forcibly break through, the enemy will surely dispatch experts to intercept us."

Our elites can move swiftly, and naturally, the enemy can also use their elites to entangle and intercept, which is why everyone is eager to retreat.

"Don't rush yet." Wang Ying Xuan stared at the sand table, pondered for a moment, and then asked Wang Dingfeng, "Old Ancestor Dingfeng, are you sure both Demon King Fortresses have dispatched all their elites?"

"Yuxuan, even though we are kin, I would be angry if you talk like that," Wang Dingfeng said with slight dissatisfaction, "You can question me on anything, but never doubt the intelligence capabilities of me and my men. Each Demon King dispatched twenty or thirty Demonic Clan Lords, several hundred Demonic Generals, and a full twenty to thirty thousand elite demonic soldiers! Such a scale of troop mobilization indeed amounts to an all-out extraction."

"Great!" Wang Ying Xuan was not frightened but rather delighted, her eyes lighting up, "In that case, both the Black Wing Demon King Fortress and the Giant Strength Demon King Fortress are defensively weak?"

"Wang Ying Xuan, what are you planning now?" The Immortal Supreme immediately sensed something was amiss.

"Of course, I plan to seize the castles," Wang Ying Xuan continued marking on the sand table, "The Black Wing Demon King is here, the Giant Strength Demon King in this position, and now Princess Su Yun's main force should also have been deployed... Where has our Suiyun Department reached, can it be estimated?"

"The main force of our Suiyun Department should be advancing from the front camp, ready to respond to us at any moment," Wu Yinghao quickly drew a position, "They should be here, not too far from the Black Wing Demon King's Division and Giant Strength Demon King's Division, but you mustn't think of confronting them head-on."

"Under normal circumstances, our Suiyun Department should be able to take on either the Black Wing Demon King or the Giant Strength Demon King alone, but absolutely cannot handle both combined. Moreover, currently, many key elites have been withdrawn from our army..."
