"As for whether sending eighty thousand troops is a waste, it might be a bit much, but I think it’s necessary."

"First, the enemy has the advantage of terrain, with strong city defenses and powerful soldiers, making them not easy to annihilate. Second, to avoid unexpected complications, we should completely annihilate them with a large force!"

"Remember, this battle must be quick and decisive!"

The chief commander advised.

He was much more rational than the deputy commander.

On this mission, the two brothers working together could easily defeat their opponent.

There was no doubt about it.

It was just a matter of time.

Eighty thousand troops...

Even if the enemy had ten thousand or even a hundred thousand, it wouldn’t be impossible for them to fight.

War.

Often, it’s not about the number of troops.

More often, it’s about the application of tactics, the talent of the commanders, and so on.

History is filled with examples of winning with fewer against many.

The two brothers, seasoned in countless battles, had seen much action.

Taking down someone who had never seen the world, holed up in an old mountain, should be effortless.

"This way..."

The deputy commander began to speak.

But at that moment, a scout came to report.

"Report!"

"Generals, we’ve discovered a majestic city thirty miles ahead, exactly where our previous intelligence indicated! Its walls are high and defenses strong, making it potentially difficult to breach!"

...

"Hehe, have we finally found it?"

A cold smile appeared on the chief commander’s face.

"This time, you won’t escape even if you had wings!"

The scout hesitated, noticing something.

The chief commander, seeing this, prompted him.

The scout quickly added: "Generals, while scouting, we found that the city’s military presence is minimal. No one was manning the city walls, the gates were wide open. We suspect it’s a trap and didn’t dare to enter!"

...

"Hehe, they must have known about our army’s arrival and fled the city, right? Big brother, give me five thousand troops to lead as the vanguard, to probe their reality! If they really have fled, it’s not too late to pursue them!"

The deputy commander immediately volunteered to the chief commander.

"I will not fail the trust placed in me!"

"That’s not advisable!"

The chief commander shook his head.

His brows furrowed slightly.

A sense of foreboding gradually emerged in his heart, leaving him uneasy.

Such feelings were rare.

But every time they did appear, it was always a prelude to a life-and-death crisis.

"How could a small castle, a minor local power, possibly threaten my life?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The chief commander wondered.

But, true to his status as a leading general of the Ye family, he quickly made a decision.

"Halt the advance and prepare for battle!"

...

At that moment.

A terrifying force, like a mountainous giant, burst out from the nearby forest.

Like a stampede of a thousand horses, the ground trembled beneath them.

"Attack!"

"Is that... a giant?!"

"Damn, who are these people? Why are there so many?"

"Just a petty bandit, and yet he commands such an army!"

"Impossible!"

The faces of the chief and deputy commanders changed dramatically.

Veterans of many battles, they recognized at a glance that this was an extremely formidable army!

A few giants were not a big deal.

But once they reached a certain scale in such a large-scale battle, they were like an invincible sword, capable of playing a staggering role!

"Quickly! Organize the troops!"

"Give it your all!"

"Anyone who dares to take a step back, kill without mercy!"

The chief commander, a seasoned leader, quickly responded.

He mobilized the eighty-thousand-strong army!

If at this moment, anyone showed the slightest fear or retreat, the entire army would be on the brink of collapse!

...

However, what followed was frustrating for both commanders.

The army of giants was unstoppable, sweeping through like a tide!

Although their numbers were merely in the thousands, insignificant compared to the eighty-thousand-strong army, they were like wolves entering a flock of sheep, devastatingly powerful, sending the Ye family soldiers into disarray!

...

"Damn it, what kind of army is this, so fiercely brave and skilled in combat!"

"Unbelievable! Less than a thousand men, and yet so ferocious! If they had five thousand, ten thousand, could they crush a million-strong army?!"

"Terrifying indeed!"

The chief commander was visibly shaken upon seeing this.

His heart was in turmoil.

However, they did not panic.

Instead, they coordinated the troops in an orderly manner to counterattack!

Although the enemy was powerful and the Ye family soldiers struggled to engage them, with their sheer numbers, slowly but steadily, they could wear them down to death!

...

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

At this moment, loud battle cries and the sounds of a massive army approached from afar.

Howls echoed across the battlefield.

The massive aura of the wolf packs and wild beasts, overwhelming, rolled in from the distant forest!

At the edge of everyone’s vision, a well-equipped force riding wolves larger than ordinary horses charged forward.

The ground trembled!

Dark clouds churned in the sky behind the Iron Wolf Guards, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Bloodlust and malevolent energy swirled through the air.

"What is this..."

"What kind of army is this? Riding giant wolves, each clad in heavy armor weighing hundreds of kilograms, yet the wolves carry them with ease! What kind of force is this?!"

"Damn it!"

The chief and deputy commanders were still deploying troops when they heard the commotion. Instinctively turning to look, their faces paled instantly at the sight!

As generals of the Ye family, pillars of their forces, what kind of battle had they not seen?

Yet, an army composed of countless giants was unheard of.

Just that one force alone was astonishing enough.

That castle lord must have had some stroke of luck.

But now, another force appeared, equal in might to the giants – the wolf cavalry!

This...

How could they not be shocked?

A sense of immense crisis instantly overtook their entire being!

Not just them.

The many soldiers of the Ye family were also terrified.

If not for the strict military discipline of the Ye family, faced with two unstoppable and invincible forces charging at them, they might have been instantly scattered.

Following that.

Something even more shocking and disorienting happened...

Around the Ye family army, figures suddenly emerged from the ground without warning.

Armed with sharp blades, their cold light glinting mercilessly, they harvested the lives of the Ye family soldiers one after another!

All-Purpose Scouts!

Both scouts and top-notch assassins!
