Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

On the edge of the battlefield.

A formation encircling the entire battlefield is quietly taking shape.

Chu Qiuci's profession is an extremely rare S-class array master, with outstanding group combat ability.

They are particularly good at defense.

There were several incredibly fierce border battles, and it was thanks to the formations she had set up in advance that the casualties of the human army were greatly reduced.

of course.

She wasn't powerful enough to set up a massive formation that covered the entire battlefield.

However, with her current strength, she could easily do just that—circle around the edge of the battlefield and block the Ironbone Army's retreat.

Jiang Chuan's godlike performance completely shattered the morale of the Iron Bone Army. A small group of troops took advantage of the chaos to retreat, only to run headlong into the formation she had set up.

hum! !

Large array patterns intertwined and instantly engulfed dozens of soldiers, who didn't even have time to scream.

Then she swung her hand back, and another crack tore open from behind the enemy lines.

The dozens of soldiers who had just been swallowed up fell from the crack like dumplings being dropped into a pot, crashing heavily into their own charging formation and knocking down a large number of them.

The Raptors were like a red-hot dagger plunged into lard, cutting through the Ironbone Army's encirclement with abandon.

The battle lasted from midnight until just before dawn.

As the first hint of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon.

Outside Bloodjaw Town.

The wasteland was already covered with a whole layer of corpses of the Corpse Dog Clan soldiers.

Dark green blood soaked through the snowfield for miles around, turning the entire land into a nauseating dark green.

Limbs and remains were scattered everywhere, and the stench of decay in the air was so strong that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

The Iron-Boned Army was completely wiped out.

Of the 30,000 elite Iron Bone Army soldiers and 5,000 reinforcements, fewer than 1,000 managed to escape.

This is because Jiang Chuan's Eternal Domain has a limited coverage area.

That's how they managed to escape.

even so.

This elite Corpse Dog Clan army, which had dominated the northern border for decades, is now completely defunct from this night onwards.

……

Northern Theater Command.

Four o'clock in the morning.

The command center was still brightly lit.

A huge tactical sand table occupied the center of the hall, densely marked with the real-time status of all important military facilities in the Northern Theater.

A group of staff officers in dark blue military uniforms surrounded the edge of the sand table, and each of them looked rather grim.

Du Beiheng stood directly in front of the sand table, his hands supporting him on the edge of the table, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He was the Federation's first general and the supreme commander of the Northern Theater.

Three years ago, when he was appointed to take over the northern defense line in a time of crisis, his hair was still completely black.

Now, most of his temples have turned white.

The culprit that caused his insomnia is now presented on the sand table.

Bloodjaw Town.

The army's scouts discovered the unusual gathering of the Ironbone Army last night.

Having been through many battles, Du Beiheng knew this was definitely not good news; the Corpse Dog Clan must be plotting another attack.

But with a full 30,000 elite Ironbone Army soldiers, let alone the human army daring not to approach.

Even if it's him.

Even if you meet them head-on, you'll be skinned alive!

"The Ironbone Army has all gathered in Bloodjaw Town, which likely means that the Ironbone King is also there."

Damn it.

"What are those beasts up to now?!"

The chief of staff's voice carried an undisguised tension.

A hushed murmur rippled through the command hall as several seasoned and prudent generals exchanged worried glances.

Ironbone King personally oversaw the defense of Bloodjaw Town.

This shows that the Corpse Dog Clan's actions this time are definitely not a small-scale operation.

Du Beiheng didn't speak, but stared at the rapidly flashing red dots on the sand table, his knuckles lightly tapping the edge of the table.

He had already mentally considered the worst-case scenario.

If the Ironbone Army launches a full-scale offensive against the human race, starting from Bloodjaw Town, and tears a gap in the northern defense line from the flank, then the entire Ironwall defense line will be cut in half.

Two hundred thousand border troops will be divided into two groups.

The beginning and the end cannot be considered together.

By then.

The Northern Theater may well repeat the disastrous defeat of twenty years ago that nearly cost the Federation half of its northern territory.

"Order that the entire Iron Wall Fortress be placed on Level One combat readiness."

Du Beiheng calmly gave the order: "The First, Third, and Fifth Main Forces, retreat towards the fortress. The Seventh and Ninth Mobile Forces, advance to the second line of defense, ready to reinforce at any time. Also, encrypt the intelligence on Bloodjaw Town and send it back to Tianque City. Please have Tiange prepare for the worst!"

The staff officers jotted down the orders quickly, but everyone's face was tense.

Level 1 combat readiness.

They knew the weight of those words better than anyone else.

The last time the Northern Command was on high alert was six years ago during that brutal war.

That battle lasted for three whole months, and the Federation lost nearly 40,000 professionals before it could barely stabilize the front line.

The chief of staff's voice rang out again, this time with a noticeable hesitation: "Commander Du, there's one more thing. The entire Fierce Dragon Commando team was deployed last night, their target being Bloodjaw Town!"

Du Beiheng's fingers, which were tapping the edge of the table, suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned his head, his deep-set eyes fixed on the chief of staff, his voice deepening: "Who issued the order to proceed?"

"No one gave the order; their new captain has the authority to make decisions independently."

Du Beiheng's face immediately darkened.

He remembered.

That kid named Jiang Chuan.

He personally signed the transfer order and put him into the Raptors Commando.

Originally, the intention was to temper the young man's temper and make him suffer in front of those thugs. Unexpectedly, this kid did just that, leading his team directly into the territory of the Corpse Dog Clan on his very first day in office!

"Nonsense!"

Du Beiheng slammed his hand on the table, his voice heavy with murderous intent as he forced out two words through clenched teeth.

He finally understood.

Why did the Ironbone Army suddenly gather in the entire Bloodjaw Town?

Their operation plan must have been discovered by the Corpse Dog Clan, and Ironbone King deliberately set a trap to annihilate the entire Fierce Dragon Special Forces Brigade there!

Although the members of the Raptors Special Forces were all troublemakers, sometimes even disobeying his orders, Du Beiheng had a lot of headaches.

But I have to admit.

This unique commando unit is a decisive and powerful force in the Northern Theater Command!

Countless battles in the past have plunged the human race into bitter struggles, all thanks to their selfless assassination of enemy generals or their efforts to break through enemy lines and find a way out. This has allowed the human race to fight against the Corpse Dog Clan despite being at a complete disadvantage.

The members of the Raptors Special Forces regarded Ironbone King as a thorn in the side of humanity.

And isn't the other side doing the same?!

Du Beiheng could almost picture the scene of the Mighty Dragons Special Forces being wiped out in Bloodjaw Town, leading to a further collapse of the entire northern war situation!

He was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead: "That arrogant little brat! Can anyone tell me what he's been up to?!... How does he even manage to command those troublemakers from the Raptors?!"

Anger is anger.

But Du Beiheng has not completely lost his mind.

He immediately ordered, "Pass down the order: the Third Legion, which is closest, is to proceed to Bloodjaw Town to rescue them. The First and Fifth Legions are to rush to their aid at full speed! Whether they are dead or alive, they must be brought back to life at all costs! We must find them alive or dead!!"

Just as Du Beiheng issued his order, a communication suddenly reached the highest command.

The staff officer quickly answered the call.

then.

He then shouted with a look of astonishment, "Commander Du, this is a communication from Deputy Captain Chu of the Fierce Dragon Special Forces!"

Du Beiheng's spirits lifted, and he immediately said, "Quickly, take it from me!"

Communication is established.

He asked urgently, "What's the situation over there? How many people are still alive?! Is that little brat surnamed Jiang still around? I'm going to skin him alive!!"

After a few seconds of silence on the other end, Chu Qiuci's clear, cold voice slowly rang out: "Report, Commander Du! Our unit encountered fierce resistance during the decapitation strike!"

"We have successfully killed the enemy's commander, Ironbone King! We have annihilated 30,000 of the Ironbone Army's main force and over 4,000 of its miscellaneous troops!"

"Our casualties..."

"Only sixty-two people sustained minor injuries, zero serious injuries, and zero deaths!"
