With the participation of the Four Symbols Sect disciples in the battle, the entire situation took a completely one-sided trend. The remaining two Transformed Great Demons, one dead and one escaped, almost declared the victory in this battle.

By the time the reinforcements of the Human Race arrived, the city gates had already been opened, and the outcome was beyond any doubt.

At dawn, aside from a small number of deserters who managed to flee amidst the chaos, all the deserters within Maiji City were completely slaughtered, and the Human Race flag was once again hoisted on the city's walls.

As for the remaining trivial matters, others would take responsibility for handling them. Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan's only task was to guard for a few days, waiting for the grain harvest to be completed.

Of course, whether the deserters would still send troops to attack during these days was still uncertain.

But no matter the case, the most difficult step had already been taken.

"What are you thinking about?"

On the city walls, Luo Qingxuan stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Wang Junze and softly spoke up.

"This battle was won too easily..."

Shaking his head, Wang Junze answered softly.

On the surface, the victory of this battle was actually due to Luo Qingxuan contacting the Sword Elder, who intervened in time, resolving the stalemate. Otherwise, today's outcome might have been reversed.

However, in actuality, from the result, the victory in this battle indeed seemed too easy. From the moment the Sword Elder took action, there was no room for suspense.

But... would Jing Yuan really make such a mistake, completely unable to predict that the Profound Moon Sword Sect would have an Elder intervene?

"Are you saying there might still be danger?"

Looking at Wang Junze, Luo Qingxuan couldn't help but question further.

"I'm afraid it's not just possible... it's certain!"

...

"Great victory, a great victory in Maiji City!"

"Saintess Luo and Wang Junze joined forces and led the crowd to breach Maiji City, slaying the Transformed Great Demons, killing over six thousand deserters!"

The news spread rapidly, and by noon, it had already reached Jubei City. People spontaneously took to the streets, cheering loudly, and soon the news spread throughout the city.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Yuan Shouyi quickly received the accurate battle report.

"Sword Elder… Have the Profound Moon Sword Sect gone mad? Don't they need to keep anyone guarding the sect?"

Yuan Shouyi cursed angrily.

Having been in the Northern Domain for many years, he naturally knew how terrifying this Sword Elder was. This couldn't be blamed on the Four Symbols Sect for not doing their best, but… who could have thought that the Sword Elder, who guards the sect, would dare to come down the mountain!

Isn't the Profound Moon Sword Sect really afraid of being attacked by the deserters?

"My lord, we've just received news, the deserters… have divided their troops!"

As Yuan Shouyi angrily smashed a tea cup, a guard rushed in urgently from outside, speaking in a hurried voice.

"Hmm?"

Slightly taken aback, Yuan Shouyi suddenly looked up and asked, "What did you say?!"

"The deserters have divided their troops!"

The guard anxiously replied, "Just now, the deserters dispatched ten thousand Great Snow Wolf Riders. It seems… they're heading to Maiji City. My lord, what should we do now?"

For a moment, Yuan Shouyi fell into a sudden silence.

A division of troops, and boldly without any concealment, evidently meant to attack Maiji City. This was utterly irrational.

Such an obvious move was simply too monumental. Even without leaving the mansion, he could imagine what kind of news would spread throughout the city next.

According to common sense, he should at least have divided some cavalry to hold back the deserters, but… why should he send troops to save Wang Junze?

"Where is Liu Wangchuan?"

As if suddenly recalling something, Yuan Shouyi asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, Elder Liu left the city early this morning."

"Hmm?"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Yuan Shouyi's mind.

At this time, Liu Wangchuan leaving the city couldn't possibly be to flee, so then…

"Pass the order, everyone is to firmly defend Jubei City. No one is to leave the city casually, and we must not fall into the deserters' trap of luring the enemy!"

A resolute gleam flashed in Yuan Shouyi's eyes as he ordered in a deep voice.

...

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

The grain in Maiji City had matured, and now arrangements had been made for manpower to start the harvest.

However, at the same time, the deserters' army had also reached the outskirts of Maiji City.

A full ten thousand Great Snow Wolf Riders encircled the city, nearly sealing off the roads leading out of the city. Whether one wanted to return to Jubei City or the Profound Moon Sword Sect, the paths were blocked.

The only way to transport the grain out was to break through these Great Snow Wolf Riders.

However, there had still been no reinforcements from Jubei City, and relying on the cultivators at hand to defeat the deserter army was exceedingly difficult. After all, besides the Great Snow Wolf Riders, the deserters also dispatched many powerhouses, leaving no opportunity for Luo Qingxuan or Wang Junze to forcibly breach the army.

"We can only launch a strong attack!"

After scouting outside the city several times, Wang Junze clearly saw the situation.

Teaming up with the powerhouses above Heaven-Stepping Level to attack, taking down the deserters' powerhouses, and then finding a way to breach the deserter army to transport the grain out was the only way forward.

However, this greatly increased the danger.

Moreover, Wang Junze had a vague feeling that Jing Yuan was luring him into a strong assault.

If this battle were to be lost, all previous efforts would be in vain.

However, at this point, he truly had no other choice.

Even if it meant marching through a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, he had no choice but to forge ahead.
