Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

When Ye Ge saw Song Jie, she asked him, "How is the situation?"

Song Jie said, "Hehe, my master and I have successfully infiltrated Baicheng. Now Wang En has concentrated all his forces there."

Ye Ge nodded.

Just as he had expected, Wang En indeed regarded Baicheng as the last line of defense in the life-or-death battle.

"Moreover, Baicheng is now in complete chaos." Song Jie shrugged and said, "Wang En has not only concentrated all his own forces in one place, but has also forcibly conscripted many civilian superhumans to fight for him..."

Song Jie recounted in detail what he had seen and heard in Baicheng.

"My master and I spent most of the day surveying the city and did a rough count."

Song Jie said, "Wang En's own forces should still have more than 20,000 subordinates, but if you include those civilian superhumans who were forcibly conscripted, it should be around 50,000. I've even heard that Wang En might temporarily train ordinary people into militia and send them to the city walls! If that's the case, their city defense force could easily reach 100,000 to 200,000!"

Li Shuying clenched her fists and said with great dissatisfaction, "This Wang En is too hateful. He actually dragged ordinary people into this. He's clearly using ordinary people as human shields!"

Song Jie shrugged: "Hey, who can argue with that?"

Ye Ge fell silent. He wasn't surprised that Wang En would do such a thing.

But is that all?

Wang En believed that by sending a group of ordinary people to the city wall as a shield, the Ye family would be too soft-hearted to launch a forced attack.

If that's the case, then Wang En is far too naive.

Leaving aside Ye Ge, the transmigrator, the words "unable to bear" are not in the dictionary of Ye Yulong, Ye Qingxin, and other pure Ye family demonized people. They will only eliminate all obstacles in their path and will not let anything stop them from moving forward.

"I understand." Ye Ge was silent for a while before saying, "You continue to lie low in White City, and we will maintain contact through the system."

"Alright." Song Jie raised two fingers, his body transformed back into shadow form, and he slowly sank into the shadows.

......

"Brother, I have received news from our scouts that the twenty troops led by Ye Ge, Ye Yulong, Ye Qingxin, and others from the Demonized Human Clan have breached all the cities in the Southern Territory and are all converging on our side."

Bai Qing walked to her brother's desk and reported, "However, it is said that the main force of the Ye family, led by the Ye family patriarch Ye Xiao, was not among them because they were covering the rear."

Bai Jian was organizing all the intelligence he had gathered at the table. He slowly shook his head and said, "The Ye family is different from all the existing noble families in the empire. Their strength is not solely due to a single powerful general. Even without Ye Xiao, the Ye family's army's combat power will not be weakened much."

In the war of the superhumans, the military combat system of all the noble families in the empire was almost the same—a powerful high-level superhuman led a group of mid- to low-level superhuman warriors.

Simply put, it's about an extremely powerful individual leading a group of extremely weak subordinates.

Therefore, usually speaking, this high-level superhuman general is the core of the entire army. Once this general is beheaded by the enemy general, the remaining mid-to-low-level superhumans are a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

Even if there were 100,000 extraordinary warriors at the Hundred Souls Realm or Thousand Souls Realm, they would not be able to stop a top-tier expert at the Asura Realm or Heavenly Revelation Realm!

The hierarchy in the extraordinary world is a chasm. Even 100,000 Yellow Realm warriors cannot defeat a Myriad Realm general. Therefore, the social hierarchy among people in the extraordinary world is also vividly displayed. Nobles are generally too lazy to train their lower-ranking subordinates. In their eyes, these low-ranking warriors are just cannon fodder to make up the numbers, or henchmen to do their dirty work.

However, the Ye family was a complete exception. They completely broke this convention. Every Ye family warrior was extremely powerful, and once they were combined, they could unleash tremendous power. Ye Yulong, Ye Qingxin, and others were at most at the first level of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, but city-states guarded by Asura Realm experts were falling one after another under their offensive.

Even that Ye Ge, I heard his strength is only at the Earth Realm, but the army he leads is said to have the best record among the younger generation of the Ye family, having already led the army to conquer seven cities in succession.

So even without the Night Owl, they were not afraid of being leaderless.

This is what makes the Ye family truly terrifying.

"..." After hearing her brother's words, Bai Qing remained silent for a while before asking, "Brother, what do you think our chances of winning this battle are?"

“Based on the current information,” Bai Jian paused, then exhaled heavily, “it can be said that we have absolutely no chance of winning.”

Bai Qing was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected his brother to say such a thing.

In her eyes, her brother had always been invincible. He was the strongest general under Duke Wang En, possessing not only the strength of the ninth level of the Asura Realm, but also being well-versed in various military books since childhood. Therefore, he had never suffered a defeat since becoming the highest general in White City, not even once.

“If that’s the case…” Bai Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, “Brother, do you think we still need to fight?”

Bai Jian said, "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Qing said, "You must have heard what those people outside are saying. Brother, have you never had any doubts?"

Bai Jian fell silent for a long while, then closed the military treatise in front of him and stood up.

“I’m going to talk to an adult,” he said.

Bai Qing immediately said, "I'll go with you."

"No," Bai Jian said, "I'll go myself."

Bai Jian arrived alone in front of an old magician's hut, knowing that Duke Wang En was there.

He stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door, which opened quickly. The person who opened the door was an old magician with white hair, dressed in a black robe. He looked at least three hundred years old, and the wrinkles on his face were more pronounced than his eyes.

"General Bai Jian." The old monk bowed slightly, his hoarse voice filled with respect: "Is there something you need?"

Bai Jian asked, "Where is the Duke?"

“The master is inside,” the old monk said, stepping aside. “Please come in.”
