The battle cries from the direction of Bailu City were deafening. The Slivia-Holy Beast Kingdom allied forces, hidden in the dense forest, had already heard them and were now eager to fight. General Philip had already led his troops to this location. After the frontline scouts returned, they immediately reported the military situation. Upon hearing that the Kingdom of Delin had broken through the city gates with the help of the civilians, he was overjoyed: "Thank God! We will split our forces into three groups. Two groups will attack the other two city gates, and the remaining group will wait until the Kingdom of Delin's army has entered the city more than halfway before attacking from behind. Let's go!"

The allied forces set off in a grand procession. Wang Ji, fearing a sneak attack from the other two kingdoms, dared not redeploy troops from the other three city gates, resulting in insufficient forces at the north gate. Soldiers from the Kingdom of Delin had already begun entering the city, and the north side of the fourth floor of Bailu City instantly descended into chaos. People on the third floor began fleeing to the second floor, and the city was in complete disarray. The adventurers were relatively orderly, with most gathering at the Adventurers' Guild. After all, the adventurers who came here were pure and did not want to participate in any war, but a small number of adventurers from the Tianyun Empire who loved their country went to help.

Soon the allied forces arrived at the South and East Gates and launched a fierce attack. Upon learning of the encounter at the South and East Gates, Wang Ji immediately ordered the West Gate garrison to meet the enemy at the North Gate. However, by the time the West Gate garrison arrived, the North Gate garrison had already been driven back into the third-level commercial district and was forced into street fighting. Just as the battle was raging, the third detachment of the allied forces arrived and began to attack the Kingdom of Delin from the rear. Under attack from behind, the Kingdom of Delin fought desperately under Zhang Feng's orders and forced the Tianyun Empire's army to the middle of the third level. The allied forces then entered the city gates. At this moment, the North Port garrison of the Kingdom of Delin arrived. Seeing that the enemy in front was not their own, they immediately attacked from the rear, and the entire North City was thrown into chaos.

Su Yang was taking care of Lin Anlan in the room when he suddenly heard an urgent knocking on the door. When he opened the door, he saw the innkeeper, who hurriedly said, "Brother, why aren't you running? It's a four-way war! The north city is already in chaos, and the south gate is about to fall too. Run!" After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Upon hearing this, Su Yang immediately told Lin Anlan and the others to pack their things, and he also ran back to his room to get his luggage. After the two groups met, Su Yang said, "We shouldn't go to the second floor. If we go to the second floor, we'll be surrounded sooner or later. Let's run to the outer city and avoid the soldiers."

The four immediately set out. Little Stone Flower hadn't grown up yet, so Lin Anlan had to carry it. As they approached the South Gate, they saw that the South Gate had been breached and the Allied Forces had entered the city. Helpless, they had no choice but to return to the third floor to hide.

With the south and east gates falling one after another, Wang Ji, seeing the critical situation, immediately ordered the garrison at the southeast gates to withdraw and rejoin the remaining troops. Seeing that his third force was also being attacked from both sides, Philip feared that his forces would be damaged, so he ordered the troops at the east gate to go and assist, while the troops at the south gate continued to advance from south to north. However, the soldiers of the four countries did not indiscriminately kill innocent people or wantonly destroy the city, after all, the city of Bailu might still come under the control of their respective countries in the future.

Thanks to this, Su Yang and his group were able to escape through the south gate. The battle inside the city had reached a fever pitch, with people fighting fiercely and quickly spreading to the second level. It seemed like a final battle, with all the troops from various countries deployed. The decisions of the remaining three generals were undoubtedly correct. It seemed that the position of city lord of Bailu City was indeed very attractive, as such leading talents were being sent to the island.

On the third underground level, after hearing the report, Jin Huage immediately summoned all members of the Martial Division: "The opportunity has arrived, Director Zhou, everyone set off and seize the Immovable Stone!" The group of Insulators also took advantage of the chaos to leave Bailu City, heading straight for Wanji Mountain.

Back inside the city, the allied forces had already assembled troops from both countries. Furthermore, the Holy Beast Kingdom's commander-in-chief had been killed by Su Yang, leaving only Philip as the sole commander. There was no situation of commanding from two sides. Moreover, the orc soldiers were exceptionally brave, causing significant losses to the Tianyun Empire and the Delin Kingdom. As darkness fell, the battle continued. Philip knew he couldn't give the other two countries a chance to regroup, otherwise they would eventually unite, and the outcome would be uncertain. The allied forces' attack intensified, gradually encircling the Tianyun Empire and the Delin Kingdom's garrisons in a certain area on the second layer.

Seeing that he was surrounded and that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Delin were very close to him, Wang Ji immediately shouted, "Where is General Zhang Feng!"

"I am here!" Zhang Feng thought someone was challenging him, so he immediately drew his sword and went out.

"General Zhang! Why don't we join forces to defeat the enemy, and then settle the score?" Wang Ji suggested immediately upon seeing Zhang Feng.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Feng shouted to his troops, "On my command, join forces with the Tianyun Empire's garrison to defeat the enemy!"

Wang Ji glanced at Zhang Feng in agreement and conveyed the same order. He really didn't expect that the old man he had once mocked as senile would have wisdom and decisiveness that were no less than his own. The two armies instantly joined forces, and the original three-way battle had now turned into a two-way confrontation.

Seeing this, Philip sensed something was wrong and ordered his troops to continue the attack, attempting to break the still-fragile alliance through a fierce assault. At the same time, he ordered a small force to go to North Port to occupy the port. If they failed, they would occupy North Port and wage guerrilla warfare like the Kingdom of Delin, waiting for both sides to be exhausted before looking for an opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop.

The two sides fought until midnight, both exhausted. Seeing that they could not annihilate the enemy, Philip ordered an orderly retreat. The soldiers of the Tianyun Empire and the Delin Kingdom were also too weak to pursue. They stopped fighting and retreated to their respective cities to set up camp. However, the three generals never stopped plotting.

That night, Wang Ji ordered his troops to set up camp in the city lord's mansion, leaving an empty camp in the west of the city. He also set up sentry posts at various intersections, intending to allow his troops to rest and regroup for the night, so that they could crush the enemy in one fell swoop the next day. Zhang Feng did not camp in the east of the city either. Instead, he withdrew from Bailu City under cover of night and set up camp in the nearby forest. In his view, with the three gates of Bailu City already breached, there was no need to retake it. Staying there would only lead to a bitter battle. He planned to let the Tianyun Empire and the allied forces wear down the enemy, while he took advantage of the chaos to eliminate the remaining forces on both sides.

After Philip retreated to North Harbor, he ordered all his troops to board ships and move away from the coast, waiting for the enemy to launch a night attack on North Harbor before counter-encircling and annihilating them. Cleverly, the night was calm and uneventful; nothing happened. However, many residents of Baile City left the city gates under cover of darkness and camped near a distant forest to avoid the chaos of war. The adventurers in the guild, however, did not leave. Although the Adventurers' Guild was a general guild, it was not something any country dared to disrupt. There were tens of millions of adventurers in the world, forming a large army when gathered together, not to mention the numerous Gold-level adventurers and the outstanding Orange-level and Crimson-level adventurer teams.

The next day, for the first time ever, no battle took place. The three generals knew the enemy general's schemes and strength, and were therefore even more afraid of falling into a trap and ending up in the same chaotic situation as the previous day. They were all carefully deploying their troops and looking for an opportunity to fight.

Meanwhile, the Insulators had already reached the foot of Wan'an Peak, followed the path all the way to the summit, and entered the cave again.
