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

In the blink of an eye, just as Darkrens's greatsword was about to strike the three, a strong gust of wind swept in, followed by a purple smoke that suddenly enveloped them. When Darkrens's greatsword fell, he did not feel the sensation of hitting his enemies. Instead, the blow struck the wall of the house, and then, along with the house itself, all the houses within a semi-circle of more than twenty meters were destroyed by the attack.

Then two even stronger elemental reactions appeared behind Darkrens: a transparent blade of air and a purple greatsword attacked him simultaneously, raising a cloud of dust the moment they struck him.

The two attackers kept their eyes fixed on the smoke and dust, simultaneously shielding Liang Yun and the other two behind them so they could heal themselves immediately. Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, Daklens's familiar, hearty laughter rang out: "Hahahaha! Today's battle was truly exhilarating!"

Then his imposing figure appeared in the dust, and the halo around him immediately dissipated after he appeared. Upon seeing this, one of the two was about to attack again, but was immediately stopped by the other, who laughed and said, "If Your Majesty is still not satisfied, the two of us can accompany Your Majesty for another match."

"I've had my fill today. We can fight again another day, hahaha! Let's go!" With that, Darkrens' body shone brightly. In a flash, he appeared at the city gate not far away, smashing a large number of guards along with the gate to pieces and sending them flying out of the city. The allied soldiers outside the city gate didn't understand what had happened. They saw the city gate being smashed from the inside and rushed towards it, but before they could even enter the city, they were all shattered by several powerful air blades.

Upon hearing the emperor's thunderous shout, the three guards on the city wall immediately retreated and followed Dakrons. Meanwhile, the two who had blocked Dakrons inside the city gate rushed out to sweep away the allied forces. A large number of demon soldiers also poured out of the city to fight the allied forces. However, with the help of the two mysterious demons, the situation became one-sided.

At the allied forces' main camp, Chu Angjie had barely had time to rejoice at the breach of the city gate when he saw Daklens and three guard generals flying towards the camp. Before he could even understand what was happening, Daklens immediately ordered a retreat. This puzzled Chu Angjie, who asked anxiously, "Since Your Majesty has already breached the city gate, why did you not order an attack but instead ordered a retreat?"

Daklens's unquestionable words rang out again: "Retreat immediately!" Helpless, Chu Angjie and his two companions could only angrily order a retreat. Upon returning to the main camp, Chu Angjie, Lu Kun, and Byrd stormed into the main tent and demanded, "Why did Your Majesty retreat at the last minute?! We were just about to break through Baguan City!"

But when he saw several orcs bustling around Dakrens, and especially when he saw the blood-stained strips of cloth discarded to the side, Chu Angjie immediately realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked with concern, "Your Majesty, you...you are injured?"

After the orcs retreated, Chu Angjie finally saw that Dakrens's hand was wrapped with a strip of cloth. Dakrens waved his hand, not minding their questioning, and said solemnly, "There are experts in the Demon Kingdom. I have reached the pinnacle of skill and thought I was invincible. I did not expect that the two demons would attack together and break through my defense. It was my carelessness that caused my hand to be shattered when I hastily raised my sword to defend."

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of Chu Angjie and the other two, Daklens said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. Don't be fooled by my warlike nature; I'm not stupid and only know how to fight. This pot-mouth-shaped terrain is not convenient for attacking the city. Even if the city gate is breached, with those two there and many high-level elementalists inside, it will probably be difficult to take it down. That's why I ordered a retreat."

Lu Kun said regretfully, "What a pity. I thought we could take Baguan City in one battle today, but I didn't expect there to be so many experts among the demons. It seems we underestimated the demons."

Byrd reassured him, "It's alright. Our orc king has always been invincible. Today we just lack information. We still have plenty of time. We'll think of something tomorrow."

Chu Angjie sighed pessimistically, "Unless there is a miracle, I'm afraid we won't be able to take Baguan City. If we can't take Baguan City, then we can only wait for the Demon Kingdom to negotiate peace."

"General Chu, what do you mean by that? His Majesty is only temporarily retreating, how come we can't take Baguan City?" Byrd wanted to argue a bit more, but was stopped by Daklens: "Chu Angjie is right. We don't know much about the Demon Clan. We have no idea how many elites those old demons have trained over the past hundred years. Right now, we can only maintain a continuous attack, constantly wear down the enemy's army, and hope for a good opportunity to break through Baguan City before the enemy's reinforcements arrive."

For several days afterward, the allied forces continued their fierce attacks, but without exception, they were all defended by the Demon Kingdom. The appearance of the three warrior captains of the Ascended Warriors in the Eight Gates City meant that all the Ascended Warriors had arrived. With the support of this elite force, coupled with the already stronger Demon soldiers, the allied forces made no progress and were locked in a stalemate.

After nearly ten days of stalemate at Baguan City, the thing the allied forces least wanted to see happened. According to reports from scouts, the reinforcements from the Eastern Demon Kingdom would arrive near Baguan City within a day, numbering as many as 800,000. Although 800,000 was not a large number compared to the more than 2 million allied troops, it was still a considerable number. Combined with the garrison in Baguan City, they would probably be able to contend with the allied forces.

Furthermore, Baguan City is now deep in the heart of the Demon Kingdom, which has lengthened the supply transport time for the allied forces. In addition, there are frequent attacks from small groups of Demon Kingdom troops along the way, and supplies can no longer meet the needs of the army every time. This has made Chu Angjie and his companions extremely anxious, and they are eager to take over Baguan City in one major battle before the arrival of Demon Kingdom reinforcements.

Immediately afterwards, another large-scale attack was organized, with more than 200,000 troops launching a fierce assault. The city and its surroundings were littered with corpses. The Demon Kingdom relied on the city for defense, so its casualties were still less than those of the Allied Forces.

As time passed, the allied forces had no choice but to order a retreat, and this large-scale offensive was declared a failure. Chu Angjie and the other two could only sigh helplessly in the tent. Daklens, however, sat calmly in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. This puzzled Chu Angjie. How could the emperor sleep when the war was going badly and at such a critical moment?

In his anxiety, Chu Angjie interrupted Daklens's rest: "Your Majesty! How can you sleep in this situation? If we can't take Baguan City soon, the Demon Kingdom's reinforcements will arrive!"

Disturbed, Dakrons did not blame Chu Angjie. Instead, he said, "The scouts I sent to find a detour returned yesterday. We can't get around Baguan City. The mountain range in front of us stretches all the way to the northwest. At the end of the mountain is another city with a similar situation to Baguan City. The reason I can still sleep peacefully here is because I'm waiting for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"Of course, we'll wait for the most intelligent person in my Beast Kingdom, the Holy Beast Kingdom's Regent King, my good younger brother, Lati!"
