Since the Lienhardt Army was already planning to launch an attack, Wang Shanyue had no choice but to follow suit with his forces.

Joining the Shanyue Guild and King Kong Island Guild in this offensive were the armies of the Wasteland Guild and Jungle Guild.

Just a few days ago, the Wasteland and Jungle Guilds had managed to open the gates of llkand City according to their mission instructions. This inside-out maneuver had allowed the Lienhardt Grand Duchy to capture llkand City at minimal cost. This achievement had earned them the trust of the Lienhardt Grand Duchy and Monica. Consequently, they quickly changed their allegiances and joined the advancing army.

Despite suffering significant losses in terms of troops while capturing llkand City, they were now barely able to muster a force of five to six hundred thousand soldiers, which was sufficient to follow the ongoing offensive.

Currently, the leaders of the Wasteland Guild, Zunong, and the Jungle Guild, Pando, were on cloud nine. They transitioned overnight from guilds on the brink of collapse within the Bass Kingdom’s camp to guilds about to achieve victory within the Lienhardt camp.

The feeling of going from a defeated guild to a triumphant one was incredibly satisfying.

It was akin to the time when they had blindly trusted Ji Chen’s proposal.

They now felt incredibly fortunate for having made that decision.

So, when they heard that Ji Chen wanted them to coordinate in the attack once again, they didn’t hesitate to send all their remaining troops.

It was an investment.

Their prior choice to believe in Ji Chen had paid off handsomely.

And this time, they were going all-in!

Watching the two guilds commit all their remaining forces, Wang Shanyue was left dumbfounded.

Had Ji Chen given them some kind of enchanted potion? How could they have such unwavering trust in him?

Was this even rational?

Drums of war resounded, and numerous armies were gathering once more, preparing for another assault.

The sky darkened with thick clouds, thunder rumbled, and a storm was imminent.

Millions of soldiers formed countless formations, their weapons densely packed like a forest, and the gleam of their armor illuminated the sky. The rhythmic marching of the soldiers made the entire land tremble.

The garrison at the Eiben Fortress, who just celebrated their victory, were utterly shocked by this sight. They never expected the enemy to regroup and launch another attack in such a short span of time, and their morale was unexpectedly high.

They couldn’t comprehend it!

In the Lienhardt Army’s camp, Monica looked at the large sand table in front of her, planted a small flag representing their allied forces south of the Eiben Fortress at the sea mouth, and asked, “Are the soldiers prepared for the attack?”

“They are all ready. We can launch the attack as soon as Your Highness gives the order,” the officers replied solemnly, showing no signs of dissatisfaction or objection towards a mere woman commanding them in the military camp.

The army respects strength above all else.

For the first time in this war, Lady Monica displayed exceptional military and diplomatic talents.

From the initial defense against the Bass Kingdom’s lightning offensive, to convincing the Thorey Kingdom and Pelan Kingdom to join the war, to launching the surprise attack on llkand City with the First Fleet, and then infiltrating the enemy’s Glory Lord organization to help capture llkand City – a series of military strategies and thinking.

Her unique insights into warfare and rational judgments left even these seasoned soldiers, who had been immersed in war for decades, astonished and admiring her.

With the weight of numerous glorious achievements, Lady Monica naturally became the overall commander of the counteroffensive.

Lady Monica was like a gift from the gods to Lienhardt, destined to lead the Grand Duchy to unprecedented heights.

However, even such a wise and rational woman could have a lapse in judgment.

At this moment, the officers cast subtle glances at the graceful girl standing beside Monica. Not long ago, this girl, carrying a large sword, had suddenly visited the camp. She conveyed her master’s request to Lady Monica, asking her to launch another attack.

However, this request had neither a sufficient reason nor any military value, yet Lady Monica inexplicably agreed.

It left people bewildered.

Sensing the officers’ perplexed expressions, Anina, who was standing nearby, shot them a fierce glare.

Then, she spoke in a low voice, “I’ve delivered the message, and our Lord will arrive soon.”

As if remembering something, Anina scratched her head and added, “Our Lord also said to be cautious of the Deceivers; they might send someone to assassinate you out of desperation.”

Lady Monica smiled gently. “I understand. Tell Lord Ji Chen that we will launch the attack in one hour.”

Anina didn’t say anything more. She nodded and left the camp, heading back to the sea.

One hour quickly passed.

Lady Monica, dressed in hunting attire, stood with her hands on the sand table, looking at the officers on both sides with a solemn expression.

“Gentlemen, this will be our most important battle. Once we break through the Eiben Fortress, we can follow the Eiben River upstream, directly reach the outskirts of Kaiserven City, and create a pincer attack with the armies of the Thorey Kingdom and Pelan Kingdom to the north.

Then the Bass Kingdom will officially begin its countdown to extinction, and we will fulfill our centuries-old aspiration.

In this battle, we must emerge victorious!”

Lady Monica’s resounding words ignited the spirits of all the officers..
