Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

After a week of preparation, the first batch of troops from the Kingdom of Delin and a large number of troops from the Slivia Empire assembled at the border and set off for the Heavenly Fortune Empire and the Holy Beast Kingdom. Three days earlier, a large amount of money, food and supplies from the Duchy of Paisen had already set off in two routes. This change was also revealed to the Demon Kingdom's Council by the Insulator. Therefore, the Council issued a war supervision order to the supreme commanders of the southern and eastern fronts, urging the two commanders to quickly defeat the current enemy forces and expand the results of the war before human reinforcements arrived.

Therefore, the Demon Kingdom's armies on both fronts launched a frenzied offensive. Although the southern front could not break through the Beast Kingdom's defenses no matter how fiercely it attacked, the eastern front, commanded by Cai Ran, made significant progress. It not only annihilated 180,000 troops from the 23rd to 28th Armies in the southwest of the Tianyun Empire, but also captured two important strategic locations, Zidanlin and Danhe Valley, repelled the defending forces, and brought the entire western part of the Tianyun Empire under the control of the Demon Kingdom.

Meanwhile, the front lines continued to advance. Cai Ran bypassed several well-defended major counties in the central region and set his sights on Luowen County in the south-central region, attempting to cut off material support from the Duchy of Paisen by capturing this major county.

The Heavenly Fortune Empire was well aware of the importance of Luowen County, so it mobilized 150,000 troops to defend it and recruited volunteers from the Adventurers' Guild and various academies to form a force of 50,000 men to participate in the defense of Luowen County and withstand several attacks from the Demon Kingdom's vanguard.

However, the critical situation in Luowen County should not be underestimated. Cai Ran was certain that the empire would not dare to divide its forces for a surprise attack. Apart from the small number of defensive troops reserved, he regrouped the main forces distributed in various cities. However, due to the long battle line, he only added 100,000 troops to Luowen County. But with the 100,000 troops that had attacked the city earlier, the total number had reached nearly 200,000, which was nearly half of Cai Ran's forces.

After a half-month-long offensive by the Demon Kingdom, the city gates of Luowen County were breached several times, and the war shifted from city defense to street fighting. The soldiers of the Tianyun Empire knew that Luowen County was crucial to the survival of the empire, so they fought bravely. The casualty ratio was reduced from one to four to one to two. Although this effectively slowed down the Demon Kingdom's occupation, it did nothing to improve the current situation in Luowen County. The Demon Kingdom still successfully occupied the west and north cities.

Fortunately, there were adventurers among the defending troops. These adventurers who joined the army were all different, including solo adventurers and adventurer teams. Among them, the most outstanding was an orange-level team - the Qingfeng Team. This team was the one that Tang Wan recruited to find Su Yang back in Qingfeng County.

The Qingfeng Squad works seamlessly together, and with Captain Zhang Caijun, a sixth-tier elementalist, at the helm, their combat strength is not to be underestimated. Moreover, this adventurer-led force is not under the command of the Imperial Army, allowing them to act freely according to the battlefield situation—assassinating, ambushing, or engaging in direct confrontation—doing anything that benefits the war effort.

On the night the North City fell, Zhang Caijun secretly gathered several hundred adventurers to prepare for a night raid. That night, with the support of more than twenty cloud-attribute adventurers, the group changed into the clothes of demon soldiers. After completing their disguise, they split into four groups and infiltrated the North City. They had two objectives for the night: to assassinate the enemy commander and to burn down the enemy's grain storage.

The assassination mission was led by the Qingfeng Squad. They quickly located the residence of the Demon Kingdom's commander. Because of the urban warfare, the five Demon Kingdom commanders did not come to the North City. Instead, some deputy commanders led the troops here. These deputy commanders were scattered in some large mansions, which made the assassination operation easier. As long as one deputy commander could be killed, at least several thousand Demon Kingdom soldiers would lose their command.

Under the moonlight, the Qingfeng Squad sneaked into a mansion. After taking down several patrolmen, they infiltrated the room of the deputy general in charge and eliminated him. That night, the Qingfeng Squad killed a total of three deputy generals. After completing the assassination, they then notified the adventurers who had found the grain storage to burn the grain, causing considerable turmoil in the Demon Kingdom.

The next day, the imperial army took the opportunity to recapture the North City and rewarded the hundreds of adventurers who had made great contributions. The reputation of the Qingfeng Squad soared, and the prestige of some independent adventurers also increased dramatically. Regardless of their past conduct, they were all erased during the current period of defending the country. Among them was Feng Tianyou, who had been hired by Shi Yao'er to assassinate Su Yang in Qingfeng County.

Watching Feng Tianyou receive his reward on stage, some adventurers who knew his background felt a bit disgusted, but they still admired his risky raid on the Demon Kingdom. After all, he had accomplished what they had not, so their previous dislikes were nothing.

After the praise, Feng Tianyou was organizing his equipment with several other independent players when someone patted him on the shoulder: "Hey~"

He turned around and saw a girl he recognized but couldn't recall her name: "Uh, you, I think I've seen you before, who are you?"

"Yes, I have met you before. It was in Qingfeng County. I am He Hai'er."

"Oh, I remember now!" Feng Tianyou recalled that when he was trying to assassinate Su Yang, it was He Hai'er's Qingfeng Squad that interfered with him: "What do you need me for?"

"No, I didn't expect to run into you here. I'm just a little curious, why did you join the army too?"

"Look at what you're saying. I may have done some shady work in the past, but I am still a citizen of the Heavenly Fortune Empire. How can I not help when the country is in trouble?"

He Hai'er nodded, then asked, "So you're also from Qingfeng County?"

“Yes, Qingfeng County is my hometown. Where else could I have come from?” Feng Tianyou continued to organize his equipment.

He Hai'er asked thoughtfully, "Where is your home in Qingfeng County? Is it near Qingfeng Tree?"

Feng Tianyou looked up in surprise and asked, "How did you know? Were you following me that day?"

He Hai'er chuckled to herself, about to say something, when she heard Zhang Caijun calling her to return to the ranks from afar. She then mysteriously said, "I'll tell you after the battle is over and we return to Qingfeng County." With that, she left without looking back, leaving Feng Tianyou completely bewildered.

After a long silence, Feng Tianyou shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, "Who knows when the war will be over? And by then, we might not even be alive..."

For several days in a row, the Demon Kingdom's army continued its frenzied attacks, while also strengthening its nighttime defenses. This rendered the adventurers' night raids ineffective. Moreover, the Imperial army's main battlefront operations also began to falter, plunging the North City into crisis once again. Just when the situation was critical, one night, shouts of battle suddenly erupted from the North City gate, and at the same time, a large army appeared outside the South Gate. This caused panic among the city's defenders, who all believed that the Demon Kingdom had sent reinforcements again.

But what happened next gave the defenders hope. The army coming from the north gate was engaged in a chaotic battle with the army of the Demon Kingdom. Judging from their flags, they were clearly reinforcements from the Slivia Empire. Meanwhile, the army from the south gate also approached the city. Their bright flags indicated that they were reinforcements from the Kingdom of Delin. Thus, the armies of the three kingdoms met in Luowen County.
