The Empress has abandoned me? I'll support a new emperor and destroy your kingdom!

Under the moonlight, a dark shadow was surging in from the direction of the dense forest.

The speed wasn't fast, but the movements were very orderly.

Unlike the usual carefree charges of the demon race, this was more like a well-trained army on the march.

"That's not right." Su Che frowned.

The demon soldiers of the demon race never pay attention to formations.

They overwhelm their opponents with sheer numbers and individual combat prowess, charging forward in droves during battles.

But the night raiding force marched in such perfect unison that the intervals between them were almost identical.

This is not the style of the demon race; they are being commanded.

Demon soldiers controlled by the demon race's soul magic can maintain orderly marching under specific commands.

Su Che estimated the number of the shadowy figures: "There must be around two hundred, and all of them are at least at the Returning Origin Realm, with some at the Breaking Void Realm mixed in."

Xueyan ran back to the camp wall, his face ashen.

"Young clan leader, are you sure it was a night attack?"

"See for yourself."

Xueyan followed Su Che's finger and gasped when he saw the dark shadow.

"Of these many high-level demon soldiers, our army has less than 1,500 capable of fighting, and their strength is far inferior to theirs."

"That's enough," Su Che interrupted him. "Listen to my arrangements."

Xueyan was taken aback. He subconsciously wanted to say, "You are only at the Returning Origin Realm. Anyone over there is comparable to you," but after glancing at Su Che, he swallowed his words.

The scene of Su Che killing a demon general in the late stage of the Void Breaking Realm during the day was still etched in his mind.

"Young clan leader, please give the order."

As the approaching horde of demon soldiers drew closer, Su Che's mind raced.

If the vampire garrison were to confront more than two hundred high-level demon soldiers at the Guiyuan Realm or above head-on, they would suffer heavy losses.

The daytime battle had exhausted a great deal of physical and spiritual energy, and the soldiers had not yet fully recovered.

"The walls can't hold," Su Che said quickly, "but this time we won't be fighting in the streets."

"Not fighting in urban warfare? Then what are we fighting?"

"Set up an ambush."

Su Che felt he had found his comfort zone and pointed to a piece of terrain on the south side of the military camp.

Trying to outwit him, a top-tier military genius in the lower realm, is like walking into a trap.

......

There is a narrow valley to the south of the military camp.

There are steep cliffs on both sides, and only five people can walk side by side in the middle.

The valley entrance is about 300 zhang south of the military camp.

"Open the camp gates," Su Che said.

Xueyan's eyes widened: "Open it?"

"Yes. Open the camp gates and let the garrison withdraw from the south gate. Leave twenty men on the camp wall as a show to lure the demon soldiers in."

Once the demon soldiers enter the camp and find it empty, they will definitely chase them out of the south gate.

Then they will enter the valley.

"Then?"

"Archers were hidden on the cliffs on both sides of the valley."

Once all the demon soldiers have entered the valley, fire spiritual arrows from both sides.

The valley is narrow, and they are squeezed together, unable to maneuver freely.

A single volley of fire could wipe out at least a third of them.

Blood Rock's eyes lit up.

"Block the rest at the valley entrance, seal off their retreat with a spiritual energy array, and trap them like dogs in a trap."

"Yes," Su Che nodded, "but time is short. Arrange for men to ambush on both sides of the valley now. Leave twenty brave men on the camp wall as bait. The rest of you retreat from the south gate."

"Young clan leader, you..."

"I'll be the bait."

"What?"

"When I'm on the camp wall, I'm the first thing the demon soldiers see when they come in, and they'll rush towards me. I run towards the south gate and lure them into the valley."

Xueyan opened his mouth.

"Young clan leader, this is too dangerous."

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. Go and make the arrangements."

Xueyan gritted his teeth, cupped his hands in greeting, and turned to carry out the order.

Su Che stood on the camp wall, watching the dark figure to the north get closer and closer.

He checked his condition.

Blood Rage consumed a lot of his health. Although he replenished some by absorbing the leopard demon's blood, he was far from returning to his peak condition.

The wounds on my body have only barely healed, and my meridians still feel swollen and painful.

Using this state as bait has almost zero margin for error.

"The Abyss."

"Um."

"If I'm surrounded, help me block them."

"Understood. If you're about to die, I'll release a soul shockwave first. It won't be too strong, but it'll stun the pursuers for a moment, enough for you to run ten zhang."

Thanks.

"Even if they're already at your doorstep, you still won't break the seal on the Emperor's Vein?"

"How could that be? I cultivate the Bloodthirsty Demon God bloodline, I'm not courting death. If we're really surrounded, I'll show them what true cruelty is!"

......

Su Che called over the last twenty soldiers remaining on the camp wall.

"When the demon soldiers rush in, jump off the camp wall and run to the south gate. Don't look back."

After running out of the south gate, we went straight up the cliffs on both sides of the valley to rejoin the main force.

The twenty soldiers looked at each other.

"Young clan leader, and what about you?"

"I'll cover the rear."

"but......"

"This is an order."

The twenty soldiers said no more.

They were all veterans and knew that orders on the battlefield were not open to discussion.

Su Che stood on the camp wall, waiting.

The demon soldiers are getting closer and closer.

More than two hundred dark figures surged across the plain like a tide.

The orderly footsteps made a dull sound in the night.

Su Che could sense their presence.

The main group is at the Returning Origin Realm, with a dozen or so Void Breaking Realm cultivators interspersed among them.

There is no higher.

Leading the group were four demon generals at the late stage of the Void Breaking Realm.

Their steps were more synchronized than those of the other demon soldiers, and their eyes were more vacant.

The demon soldiers arrived fifty feet outside the camp wall.

Su Che took a deep breath, activating Blood Rage Berserk.
