I walk sideways in the game world

Inside the conference room, Ren Xiaoyao abruptly stood up, the map in his hand clacking onto the table. The area on the map, symbolizing the Iron Palm Sect's territory, seemed to be shrouded in a shadow. The scout's words resonated like a thunderclap, piercing everyone's ears and sending the conference room into a state of chaos.

"Iron Palm? How could it be so fast?!" a general exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

Ren Xiaoyao suppressed his shock, helped the scout who was kneeling on the ground to his feet, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me slowly, what happened?"

The scout took a breath and said hurriedly, "My lord, I have witnessed with my own eyes that the Heavenly Demon Sect has joined forces with the Mad Blade Sect and the Blood Demon Valley to launch a surprise attack on the Iron Chief Sect. The Iron Chief Sect was caught off guard and is now trapped at the mountain gate. The situation is critical. Please send troops to rescue them as soon as possible!"

"The Demon Sect is a bunch of despicable villains!" A general shouted angrily, clenching his fists, filled with righteous indignation.

Ren Xiaoyao's brow furrowed, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Iron Palm Sect was their ally, having fought alongside them in previous battles and rendered great service. Now that they were in danger, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.

"Pass the order down, gather 5,000 elite troops, set off immediately, and support Sect Leader Iron!" Ren Xiaoyao gave the order decisively, his tone revealing an unquestionable majesty.

"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Xia Lin quickly walked over to Ren Xiaoyao and whispered, "Brother Xiaoyao, don't act rashly. The enemy's actions were so sudden, I'm afraid they were premeditated. We must be cautious to avoid falling into a trap."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded. He knew what Xia Lin said made sense, so he asked, "What do you think?"

Xia Lin pointed at the map and calmly analyzed, "According to our scouts, the enemy is attacking Iron Palm Sect from three directions simultaneously. We can split our forces into two groups. You will lead one group directly into the enemy's rear, cutting off their retreat. I will lead the other group, attacking from the flank to draw enemy fire and rescue Iron Palm Sect."

Ren Xiaoyao listened carefully, a look of admiration in his eyes. Xia Lin's plan was thorough and bold, just what he wanted. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. We'll split up and act separately. Remember, be very careful!"

"Don't worry, Brother Xiaoyao, I will act according to the circumstances." Xia Lin smiled slightly, with a confident light in her eyes.

Under the cover of night, armies quietly set out, galloping towards the Iron Palm Sect. The sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the night, foreshadowing the onset of an even more brutal battle. As Ren Xiaoyao sat on his horse, gazing at the pitch-black night ahead, a sense of inexplicable unease suddenly arose within him. He reached out to tighten his grip on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and a chilling sensation emanated from his palm, instantly bringing him to his senses.

"Speed up and try to reach Iron Palm Sect before dawn!"

The sound of hurried horse hooves pierced the silence of the night as Ren Xiaoyao led the team on a galloping journey along the rugged mountain road. Dark shadows of trees covered the surroundings, and the night wind howled past, bringing a hint of unease.

"My lord, the terrain ahead is narrow, be careful of ambushes!" A scout rode his horse to Ren Xiaoyao and said in a low voice.

Ren Xiaoyao's brows knitted slightly, the uneasiness in his heart growing stronger. He tightened his reins and gave a solemn order, "All troops, be alert! Highly vigilant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding woods suddenly erupted in flames, and the shouts of killing were deafening. Countless rockets rained down from the sky, shooting towards the team.

"Enemy attack! Defense!"

Ren Xiaoyao reacted quickly, roared, drew out the long sword from his waist, and with a flash of sword light, he shot down all the rockets shot at him.

"Kill!"

Accompanied by earth-shaking shouts and cries of killing, countless men in black emerged from the woods, holding swords and knives, and rushed towards the team like a tide.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin's voice came from the back of the team, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Lin'er, protect yourself!" Ren Xiaoyao responded loudly, his eyes like torches as he scanned the battlefield. The long sword in his hand turned into lightning, and every swing took away several lives.

The battle instantly intensified, Ren Xiaoyao was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable. His movements were ethereal and his swordsmanship was sharp. Wherever he went, the enemies fell one after another, and no one could withstand his sharp edge.

"Damn, how can this guy be so powerful!" A leader of the men in black looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes full of horror. He originally thought that this team was just a rabble, but he didn't expect to encounter a master like Ren Xiaoyao.

"Kill him for the Demonic Sect!" Another leader roared, waving the big knife in his hand and rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao sneered, without dodging or evading, he shook the long sword in his hand, which turned into a cold light and pierced the opponent's throat.

"puff!"

Blood gushed out, the leader of the men in black widened his eyes, the big knife in his hand fell weakly, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

"kill!"

Ren Xiaoyao was full of vigor and led the team to fight their way out.

"withdraw!"

Seeing their own side suffered heavy losses, the remaining men in black threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't order a pursuit, as he knew full well that it was best not to pursue a desperate enemy. He dismounted, walked over to Xia Lin, and asked with concern, "Lin'er, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Brother Xiaoyao, how are you?" Xia Lin's eyes were full of worry.

"I'm fine." Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly and patted her shoulder gently. He turned his gaze to the front with a serious look in his eyes. "We must rush to the Iron Palm Sect as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."

The team continued on their way, but this time, everyone's face was more solemn. They all knew that the real test had just begun. When they arrived at the Iron Palm Sect, the scene before them made everyone's heart sink...

"How could this happen..." Xia Lin muttered to herself as she looked at the Iron Palm Sect surrounded by raging flames.

Thick smoke billowed, flames shot up into the sky, and the once majestic Iron Chief Sect now looked like a living hell. Among the shattered walls, the flicker of swords and the cries of killing were faintly visible, shaking the earth and making people tremble with fear.

"Brother Xiaoyao, you are finally here!" The blood-soaked leader of the Iron Palm Sect saw Ren Xiaoyao and felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, his voice choked with sobs.

"Brother Tie Zhang, what on earth is going on?" Ren Xiaoyao dismounted from his horse and looked at the tragic scene in front of him with a frown.

"Well, it's a long story..." The leader of the Iron Palm Sect sighed and told the whole story.

It turns out that the Iron Palm Sect had somehow offended the notorious Demon Flame Valley, and was met with vengeance. The ruthless Demon Flame Valley master not only sent his own masters to besiege the Iron Palm Sect, but also colluded with several other sects, determined to wipe out the Iron Palm Sect.

"Brother Xiaoyao, I know that it was Sect Leader Tie who implicated you this time. If you leave, I will never blame you!" Sect Leader Tie said in a sad tone, his eyes full of guilt.

"Brother Tie Zhang, we are brothers, why do you say that!" Ren Xiaoyao patted his shoulder and said firmly, "Now that I'm here today, I will live and die with Tie Zhang Sect!"

"Good brother!" The leader of the Iron Palm Sect excitedly held Ren Xiaoyao's hand, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Brother Tie Zhang, we are outnumbered and cannot fight head-on. Do you have any good ideas?" Ren Xiaoyao looked around and calmly analyzed the situation.

"The Devil Flame Valley is powerful. We can only hold our ground and wait for reinforcements." The Iron Palm Sect's leader sighed, "However, it's still unknown when the reinforcements will arrive..."

"Reinforcements..." Ren Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, a gleam in his eyes, "Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative!"

"Take the initiative to attack?" The Iron Palm Sect leader was stunned. "Brother Xiaoyao, what do you mean..."

"Since the Demon Flame Valley has come out in full force, their rear must be empty." A cold glint flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. "We just need to send a surprise force to go around the enemy's rear and catch them off guard..."

"What a good plan!" The Iron Palm Sect's leader's eyes lit up. "But who will lead this special force?"

Ren Xiaoyao looked around and set his sights on Xia Lin, "Lin'er, this matter belongs to you."

"Me?" Xia Lin was slightly stunned, then she understood Ren Xiaoyao's intention.

"Yes, Lin'er is meticulous and resourceful. I am confident in letting you lead the special forces." Ren Xiaoyao said in a firm tone.

"But..." Xia Lin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ren Xiaoyao.

"No need to say more, this is an order!"

"Yes, Brother Xiaoyao." Xia Lin knew she couldn't refuse, so she could only nod and agree.

"Lin'er, come closer and listen..." Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand and whispered a few words in Xia Lin's ear.

After hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xia Lin's eyes. Then she nodded and turned away.

Looking at Xia Lin's departing back, a trace of worry flashed across Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"Brother Iron Palm, it's time for us to take action!"

As night falls, the lights within the Iron Palm Sect are brightly lit, and the cries of killing shake the earth. A decisive battle that will determine the Iron Palm Sect's fate is about to begin...

"Lin'er, be careful..." Ren Xiaoyao looked at the red dot on the map in his hand and murmured softly, "That place is related to the fate of all of us..."

Xia Lin followed the order and quickly assembled an elite team. Under the cover of darkness, she quietly left the Iron Palm Sect. According to Ren Xiaoyao's instructions, the purpose of her trip was to infiltrate the area controlled by the Demon Flame Valley, explore the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, and gather intelligence for the next operation.

Along the way, Charlene relied on her familiarity with the terrain and excellent stealth skills to cleverly avoid enemy patrols. She knew she was shouldering an important mission and did not dare to slack off.

"Brother Xiaoyao said that although the Demon Flame Valley has a large population, its logistical supply lines are extremely fragile. As long as we can find their food storage, we can completely turn the tide of the battle..." Xia Lin recalled Ren Xiaoyao's instructions as she shuttled through the dense forest. "He also said that the Demon Flame Valley Master is cautious and suspicious. He will definitely send a large number of troops to guard the food supplies. So we can't fight head-on, we must use our wits..."

After several days of reconnaissance, Xia Lin finally discovered the Devil Flame Valley's food and fodder storage area in a secluded valley. The valley was surrounded by steep cliffs, with only a narrow entrance, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the valley's entrance, a team of a hundred men patrolled back and forth, maintaining tight security.

"It seems Brother Xiaoyao's guess was wrong. This place is indeed heavily guarded." Xia Lin hid in a towering tree, observing the situation in the valley through the dense branches and leaves, thinking to herself, "It will be so difficult to break through here..."

Just when Charlene was at a loss, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the valley.

"What's going on? Why is there so much less food?" a rough voice roared.

"Your Excellency, we don't know either. The daily consumption is according to your instructions..." another timid voice replied.

"You idiot! Check it out! You must find out who is behind this!"

Hearing this, Xia Lin's heart moved, and a bold idea emerged in her mind. She quickly returned to the Iron Palm Sect and told Ren Xiaoyao everything she had discovered about the enemy and the conversation in the valley.

"Food and fodder are in short supply..." Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly after listening to Xia Lin's report, lost in thought. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, a gleam in his eyes, "I know what to do!"

"Pass the order and gather all the elite disciples. Tonight, we will raid the Devil Flame Valley granary!"
