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

Upon seeing the vanguard carrying flags representing three countries, the patrolling soldiers lowered their guard, greeted the vanguard, and, after confirming that they were reinforcements from the eastern front, hurriedly ran to the main camp to report.

Upon hearing that reinforcements had arrived, the generals of various countries in the tent were extremely surprised. Although the Demon Kingdom had been defeated, it still had troops drawn from various noble territories. Messengers were traveling back and forth between the southeast and southwest fronts to report that the eastern troops had been blocked at the Nanhuo to Sitai line. They estimated that it would take about thirty days for them to reunite with the reinforcements. They did not expect that the reinforcements would appear before them in just over ten days.

Listening to the murmurs among his men, Beast King Darkrens waved his hand and said boldly, "Why speculate here? Just call him over and ask!" He then sent for the vanguard commander.

After the general entered the tent, Dakrons ordered someone to bring him a cup of molten wine, a specialty of the Beast Kingdom, and said, "You must be tired from your journey. Drink this cup of wine first, and then we can talk slowly."

Upon hearing this, the general picked up his wine and drank it all in one gulp. He immediately felt an indescribable spiciness surge from his throat into his stomach, burning him all the way down to his chest. This sight made Daklens laugh heartily.

After calming down slightly, the commander said, "Your Majesty, generals, the commander-in-chief set up a feint, and we crossed mountains and valleys to bypass the demon defense line. It took us more than ten days to arrive. Now the three commanders and the main force are in the rear. They should be able to join us soon."

"Oh? Judging from the situation, it will be quite difficult to cross the mountains. Well done!" Daklens greatly admired this brave act. In his eyes, these soldiers who had crossed the mountains were all valiant warriors. So he ordered someone to bring a cup of molten fire wine to the general. However, when the general looked at the wine in his hand and recalled the feeling after drinking it, he hesitated and was reluctant to drink it.

"Beast King, this..."

Just as he was about to ask not to drink, Daklens's eyes widened in anger, and his voice suddenly grew louder: "What, is the wine of my Beast Kingdom hard to swallow!?"

"No, no, this humble general will drink it now..." Startled by Daklens's words, the general dared not say another word, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, followed by another wave of spiciness. At this moment, a guard ran in from outside the tent and announced, "Your Majesty, the three commanders of the Eastern Front have arrived."

Following closely behind, Chu Angjie, Lu Kun, and Byrd entered the tent. Upon seeing the three, Daklens rose to greet them. After exchanging information, he learned that the feint was Chu Angjie's doing. He then rose from his seat, walked to Chu Angjie's side, and gave him a big bear hug. This was the orcs' way of expressing respect, but the bear hug was a bit too heavy for Chu Angjie, who was human.

"Hahaha, Brother Chu is truly a valiant general! I admire you! Hahaha!"

Chu Angjie took a slight breath before saying, "Your Majesty is too kind. This was a plan that I came up with together with Commander Lu and Commander Baird. It was not my achievement alone."

After some mutual flattery, they finally got to the point. Lu Kun spoke first: "Your Majesty, commanders, our two armies have now successfully joined forces outside Baguan City. Once we capture Baguan City, the Demon King's capital will be within reach. However, Baguan City is surrounded by cliffs on both sides, resembling the mouth of a kettle, and its terrain is high, making it a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if we have a million soldiers, we can only use tens of thousands of them for a strong attack each time. I wonder how we can conquer it?"

“Yes, we just went to investigate. The mountains on both sides of the city are almost vertical. Even if we wanted to cross the mountains again, it would not be very realistic. Moreover, the mountains are too high. If we use flying magic, I'm afraid only generals of the fifth rank or above can fly over.” Byrd also told us about the situation he had investigated earlier.

After the two finished speaking, the remaining people in the tent looked at each other, all focusing their attention on Chu Angjie. Chu Angjie remained silent, only shaking his head slightly, clearly indicating that he hadn't come up with any brilliant plan either.

"Why not feign surrender and work together from the inside to trick them into opening the city gates?" one suggested, but it was quickly rejected by another: "We have a million troops, and the situation is on our side. The enemy will definitely not believe our feigned surrender plan."

"Why not feign defeat, lure the enemy into pursuit, and then ambush them halfway?"

"That won't work either. The enemy must be waiting for reinforcements, most likely from the eastern front, so they can support each other. Besides, Baguan City is the gateway to Damonlit, and the enemy will definitely hold it and not come out."

"That..."

Listening to the group's back-and-forth discussion, which ultimately yielded no results, Daklens couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up abruptly and said, "Everyone, stop talking. Let's get some sleep tonight, and see what I'm capable of tomorrow!"

After speaking, Dakrons left directly. Chu Angjie, Lu Kun, Baird, and everyone in the tent looked at each other in bewilderment. The vanguard commander looked at the three commanders and said, "What is the Beast King doing...?"

Lu Kun looked outside the tent: "I've long heard that the Beast King is warlike and brave, and seeing him today, it's truly as the rumors say."

"How could he possibly breach these eight passes by himself?" Byrd was somewhat skeptical.

Chu Angjie said, "Whether it succeeds or not, since the Beast King has made his decision, let's wait and see tomorrow. There are still some days before the enemy reinforcements arrive. If it doesn't work tomorrow, we'll think of other ways."

The next day, at the crack of dawn, a horn sounded from the allied camp. The generals had already mustered their troops, numbering about 800,000. After lighting fires and cooking, the allied army marched in a mighty procession to the outskirts of Baguan City. Beast King Darkrens, dressed in a beast robe, held a gleaming steel longsword and carried an iron bow. Upon closer inspection, the bowstring of the iron bow also appeared to be forged from fine iron.

The Beast King took the lead, bringing three similarly dressed orcs to the front of the formation. Looking towards the Eight Gates City opposite, Dakrons didn't waste any words. After a roar, he led his three lieutenants and spurred their horses towards the Eight Gates City. The orcs in their own formation also roared and charged out of the formation, following their emperor fearlessly toward their goal.

Chu Angjie's heart pounded as he watched Daklens lead the charge. Such courage and boldness could probably only be possessed by this emperor. This scene also made Chu Angjie truly witness the bravery of the Beast Kingdom's army. They might not have any strategies, but as long as their leader roared, they would all follow their commander's steps and launch a determined charge. Such an army, if they were to engage in a head-on battle, would probably be no less formidable than any other nation.

Just as Chu Angjie was sighing, the assault had already begun. Countless arrows shot from the walls of the Eight Passes, followed by many large stones. And that wasn't all; several powerful elemental attacks followed.

Since Dakrons was fond of martial arts, he had naturally participated in many battles. His roars could be heard continuously: "Raise shields! Break the stone! Stone shields!" Although the orders were tight, each order corresponded to defending against a different attack. This was all he could do as the commander-in-chief at the moment. As for whether he could save his own life, that depended on the strength of his soldiers.

Although every command was a precise defensive measure, the Demon Kingdom's attacks were too dense, causing many soldiers to fall. Dakrons had no intention of retreating and kept ordering the army to speed up. Soon, he led the army to the city of Baguan. As soon as they arrived at the city, one of the three generals who was with him immediately dismounted and struck the ground with both hands. Instantly, a stone pillar rose from the ground, lifting Dakrons and the three of them up to almost the same level as the city wall.

The four then scaled the city wall and engaged the enemy in battle, while the orc soldiers on the ground relentlessly attacked the city gate using weapons and elemental power.

Watching this scene from not far away, Chu Angjie couldn't help but sigh, "I've never seen an emperor like this before, leading from the front and protecting his soldiers single-handedly..."
