A different world game? A different world game!

The outer defense line of Blood Pit Fortress.

Behind the "white wall".

This is not a moment of respite after a fierce battle, but rather a different kind of bustling activity.

The air was still thick with the scorching smell of sulfur and a faint stench of blood, but the dying screams of demons were no longer mixed in. Instead, there were hurried shouts, heavy footsteps, and the clanging of clashing materials.

On the wide passageway, the scene resembled a chaotic yet orderly torrent.

Squads of warriors clad in silver-gray or various types of armor marched in unison through the fortress gates and into the battlefield, which was filled with an ominous red light.

They headed to the front lines, where the war was entering its most intense phase.

Someone needs support.

Their armor was stained with undried blood, their expressions were solemn, and their eyes were tired yet sharp as knives.

Reinforcements and troop rotations continued to arrive, the sounds of chainmail rubbing, horses' hooves pounding the ground, and heavy footsteps blending into a deep drumbeat, as they rushed towards the never-ending meat grinder.

Once people come here, no one will resist war.

Besides these, there are many other teams, making the place look very busy.

Besides going to support the front lines.

More often, it's the reverse input of "supplies" into the fortress.

Fully loaded trailers rumbled in, pulled by burly laborers or alchemical golems.

The vehicle was piled high with the demon's enormous, twisted limbs and severed bodies.

A carapace covered in lava patterns, thick limbs covered in bone spikes, a huge head emitting a foul stench, and broken weapons congealed with dark purple blood...

These were "spoils of war" recovered from the battlefield, which were quickly transported to the large slaughter camp area between the "white walls" and the fortress.

Much of the material from these slaughtered animals will be used to purchase supplies from various worlds in the astral plane, and funds will also be distributed to the warriors who fight in the abyss.

Although most of the warriors who come to the abyss have a certain degree of voluntary participation, we cannot let them bleed and shed tears in such a bloody battle.

It appears that the abyss yields a lot of demon materials.

But in reality, only these ten bloody battlefields can produce resources on a large scale.

The materials produced need to be supplied to various worlds in the astral plane. These worlds are countless, and although most of them are legendary-level powerhouses, there are simply too many legendary-level powerhouses in the astral plane.

Even so, these materials are in short supply and have always been quite expensive.

The unique stench of decay, blood, and abyssal filth in the air grew even stronger.

But those butchers worked incredibly hard, wielding their knives with swift, precise strokes.

The open space inside the fort was fully utilized, and the temporary storage yards stretched like small hills.

Crates of purifying crystals, radiating a faint glow of order, were stacked; bundles of alchemical crossbow bolts, shimmering with various magical runes, were piled up; tightly sealed potion boxes exuded a mixed scent of herbs and magic; and heaps of enchanted metal ingots awaited to be forged into new weapons and armor by runesmiths.

Logistics staff moved about, registering, carrying, and distributing, their foreheads covered in sweat and dust, yet their movements were efficient and precise.

In the noisy core of this war-serving, steel-and-flesh-and-blood-built place, the heavy metal doors of the fortress command center shut out the outside clamor.

Under the bright alchemical crystal lamp, the shadows of Kana and Lelia were cast on the huge tactical table covered with maps and reports.

Lelia leaned against the table, her silver-gray enchanted scales still stained with blood, and her long, reddish-brown braid was somewhat disheveled.

Her brows were furrowed, her wheat-colored face was filled with disbelief, and her eyes, which had always gleamed with the fire of battle, were now filled with confusion.

"You mean... just for this period of time?"

Her voice rose a few decibels, filled with deep doubt.

"Just when the demons on the front lines are attacking 'Rock' wave after wave like ravenous wild dogs, and Bloodbath Fortress and our own forces are almost completely pinned down on the defensive line, barely able to catch our breath? Should we launch a preemptive strike? Attack the demons' rear?"

She pointed to a blood-red marker on the map representing the tense situation at the front, her fingertip almost touching it:

“Kana…no, my prophet, this is too risky!”
"The timing is completely wrong! The main force of the demons is all committed to the front, and we simply do not have enough reserves to carry out this mission deep behind enemy lines!"
"Not to mention Bloodbath Fortress, they're lucky if they can hold their line together and not collapse, they simply can't spare any manpower to support our adventurous mission."

"This is completely different from our previous plan to wait for the demons' offensive to weaken before taking action! The chances of success... are too slim!"

Her words came out like a barrage of bullets, carrying the instinctive resistance and anxiety of a frontline commander when faced with such a crazy proposal.

Even a warmonger like her has to consider the needs of her soldiers.

Although she trusts Kana unconditionally, Kana's current proposal is something she can't understand, and she has to raise questions.

Kana listened quietly, his human demeanor appearing composed under the lamplight.

He understood Leilia's excitement, which stemmed from her sense of responsibility and concern for the safety of the fortress.

After she finished speaking, Kana slowly nodded, a calm stream of data passing through his golden eyes.

"Yes, Lelia, I understand your concerns. I see the pressure on the front lines very clearly."

He pointed his finger precisely at the location on the map that marked "Rock Solid Line".

"We have indeed firmly grasped the main force of the demons, which is part of the plan, or rather, the key to the plan's adjustment and utilization."

Actually, he hadn't planned to be this radical before, but now it seems like a rare opportunity.

He moved his fingertips, drawing a large circle in the vast, chaotic, and dangerous abyss region behind the map.

"My goal is not to launch an immediate all-out offensive, but to take advantage of the fact that the demon is pinned down on the front lines to carry out a 'surprise' attack."

Kana's voice was calm and clear:
"The devil's offensive has its own inherent laws—it comes like waves, but will eventually retreat due to excessive losses."

"The lords would order a retreat when casualties reached a certain critical point, replenish their forces, and prepare for the next attack."

"If we follow the usual procedure, once their main force is almost gone, the rest will naturally withdraw and regroup, and then it will be much more difficult for us to launch a frontal advance or a flanking attack."

"The demons are scattered everywhere and have support from the rear. If the Order faction wants to make a decisive breakthrough, it will have to pay a greater price and is very likely to be dragged into a war of attrition."

"After all, the forces we want to advance to order are essentially a coloring game."

“Even if allies on other battlefields receive the signal, it will take time to coordinate and deploy, and the demons will have time to build up their defenses.”

It should be noted that a large part of the demons' losses actually came from their infighting when they gathered together.

Moreover, as they gather, they become frenzied and utterly disorderly. But if they disperse, they begin to exhibit traits such as fleeing, caution, and cunning.

Simply put, when excessively chaotic forces gather together, they cause chaotic magic to converge, making demons even more unrestrained.

This problem wouldn't exist if they were dispersed; some of the demons' intelligence would regain control.

Scattered demons actually become stronger, because the advantage of the Order lies in the fact that they are far stronger than demons in large-scale battles.

He paused, his gaze sharpening:
"Chaos is the source of the demon's power, and also its greatest weakness!"

"While the main force of the demons is engaged in fierce fighting on the front lines, immersed in a frenzy of killing and chaos, their rear—the secondary incubation pools, temporary stockpiles, and command hub nodes that support the front lines—is relatively the most vulnerable."

"Or rather, they never really intended to defend against it, because they didn't realize these places were that important."

"In addition, the most important thing is that the attention of the Abyss Will will inevitably be drawn to the unprecedentedly fierce frontal battlefield, and will be slow to react to subtle changes in the rear."

This is a summary of patterns and experiences derived from other battlefields.

Cana's finger pointed to several strategic points:

"What we need is a small, highly mobile force that is elite. They don't need to capture fortresses or annihilate large numbers of enemy troops."

"Their goal is to dispel chaos and order expansion behind the demonic void, ignite the flames of order, establish temporary purification nodes, and slow down the abyss's incubation speed through the collision of order and chaos, and even destroy key small nodes."

As she spoke, Kana's voice became more confident, because it was indeed a viable solution.

"If the will of the abyss senses this and forcibly orders the main force of demons at the front to return to the rear—that would be exactly the situation we've been dreaming of!"
"This means that the demons on the front line will be forced to turn hastily under the pursuit of the forces of order, leaving them vulnerable to attacks from both sides."

"We will have the opportunity to disrupt them during the movement, creating a brief encirclement or division, even if it only lasts for a day or two."

"These past two days have been a critical window for the light of order to take root and spread in the heart of the abyss."

"Enough for the will of the Titan pantheon and other allies of the Bloodbath Fortress to see the signal and for order to prevail, tearing open space and allowing a flood of reinforcements to pour in."

"If the will of the abyss is slow to react, or if the demon lords at the front cannot effectively carry out the retreat order, then our surprise force will fight guerrilla warfare in the rear."

"Using mobility, they continuously ignite the sparks of order in areas where demonic forces are sparse, forcibly expanding the area of ​​the order zone."

"There is only one core idea: to set fire to its most vulnerable backyard while the main force of the demons is tied down at the front lines."

"This is a tactic that we could never have done when the number of demons was overwhelming, but now, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Because there is a very important point here.

That is, the Abyss truly does not know the military strength that the Night Watch's main world currently possesses.

It's important to understand that the forces of the Order are generally stretched thin when facing the onslaught of the Abyss. Therefore, after launching an offensive, they will be forced into a prolonged defensive posture, which is unavoidable and an unchangeable reality.

They had just launched an offensive and rebuilt their defenses.

This is why the enemy launched a large-scale offensive, because they were trying to destroy the still unstable defenses.

Even though the Blood God is currently outside the world, his understanding of the world is dissipating at an extremely rapid pace.

After all, the tentacles of the abyss have already connected to the world, and even the Blood God has to take a step back.

Although Kana had not returned to the world for a long time, he could still sense that the Blood God's gaze was fading.

I've had enough of his shows.

In other words, even if the Blood God has some information about the Night Watch's main world, it is still outdated.

The Night's Watch's development speed has always exceeded everyone's expectations, even those of the evil gods.

Not to mention that the Night's Watch's main world is a place known to all, facing an invasion by the Void.

It was already quite unexpected that they were able to send out a certain number of troops to establish themselves in the abyss.

This is a level of troop concealment that only the Night's Watch could achieve.

Kana looked at Lelia, his eyes flashing with the realization that this was a rare opportunity:
"In dealing with demons, grand, interconnected plans often fail due to chaos."

"The most effective approach is this kind of simple, direct, targeted, and adaptable 'disruption.' This is experience gained through years of bloody battles in the abyss."

Or perhaps this is the experience gained from thousands of years of bloody battles.

Leilia fell silent.

Kana's analysis was logically clear, with a clear distinction between advantages and disadvantages. In particular, he hit the nail on the head by taking advantage of the chaotic nature of demons and the slow reaction of the will of the abyss.

Her furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and the confusion in her eyes was replaced by contemplation.

She understood Kana's intention—this was not a reckless all-out attack, but a well-considered choice.

Risks remain, but the potential gains are enormous, and the feasibility is based on the inherent weaknesses of evil.

And most importantly, the risks are completely acceptable.

Moreover, time is also very important for the Night's Watch.

The sooner we expand the battlefield and gain enough energy, the sooner we can fully implement the Divine Kingdom Plan.

She slowly exhaled, her fingers unconsciously tapping the table, a habit she had when deep in thought:
“I admit, Kana, the idea is sound, and it’s very demonic—fighting chaos with chaos. Using their madness to their own detriment.”

Leilia raised her head, staring intently at Kana, and asked the most crucial question.

"But where do these 'elite, highly mobile small forces' come from?"
"Our main force, including the Avengers, is now firmly welded to the 'Rock' defense line."

"The defensive forces at Blood Pit Fortress have been reduced to a minimum. Deploy more troops? Deploying more could cause problems on the front lines."

A knowing smile crept across Kana's lips.

"This is precisely the key reason why I chose this moment."

He spread his hands out in front of him, as if holding up an invisible sand table.

"The Night's Watch's power doesn't just exist in the Abyss. The situation in the Overworld gives us a window to deploy our forces."

He quickly sketched out the distribution of power:
"Look: the storm of the 'Freedom Revolution' has been stirred up on the continent of Taliel, and our core objective of attracting attention and igniting the spark in the early stages of our expedition has been achieved."

"The large-scale, high-intensity frontal offensive has temporarily come to an end."

"This means that a portion of our elite pioneering troops deployed on the front lines of the Tahrir continent—those veterans tempered in blood and fire—can be rotated out." (End of Chapter)
