Kai glanced at the System’s timer. “That’s all I need.”

Ren lowered her voice. “You’re risking too much. One wrong move, and the entire command could fall apart.”

Kai replied, “Then I’ll make sure I don’t make a wrong move.”

The system chimed in. “Commander’s vitals stabilizing. Injury classified as minor. Regeneration efficiency improved by 12% due to medicinal salve.”

He Wen stretched. “We’ll guard the depot till dawn.”

Ren nodded. “I’ll stay too.”

Kai opened his eyes, still watching the darkness. “Good. Because tonight won’t be the last time they try this.”

“Security alert neutralized. Defense rating +10%. Command recognition increased.”

Kai leaned his head back slightly. “System, mark this as Night Ambush Report.”

“Report saved. Incident logged under Operation Ridge Defense.”

Ren looked at him and said quietly, “You may not rest long, Kai, but you make the others believe we can survive this.”

Kai replied, “Belief keeps them fighting. That’s all that matters.”

  • Chapter 73:the betrayal of elder Mo

    The day began quietly, but tension filled the air. The System had been running constant scans after the retreat. Kai was at the command post, reviewing reports from every division when a sudden alert flashed before him.“System,” he said quickly, “display the alert in full.”“Detected encrypted spiritual transmission originating from Elder Mo’s quarters,” the System reported. “Signal pattern matches Crimson Serpent Sect frequency. Estimated duration: eight minutes.”Kai’s face hardened. “Trace the destination.”“Transmission connected to enemy envoy camp two miles east of the ridge. Communication logs partially intercepted.”Kai read the text appearing in front of him: ‘…the Azure Cloud Sect’s defenses are weakened. The inner barrier will fail in two days. I can open the western seal in exchange for safe passage and elder status under your banner…’Ren entered the command post right then, holding a battle report. He stopped when he saw Kai’s expression. “What’s wrong?”Kai didn’t answ

  • Chapter 72:disciples in chaos

    The disciples went in every directions when they received the order to pull back from the battle. The smell of dust filled the air almost drowning out commands from their ears. The sounds of explosions and screams got the disciples confused. Kai stood at the center of the inner defense ridge, his System interface flashing red alerts across his vision.“System,” he said sharply, “status of retreating units.”“Processing… Outer units fragmented. Formation integrity at thirty-two percent. Morale: rapidly decreasing. Command structure partially collapsed.”Captain Ren rushed up, his armor scorched and eyes wide. “Commander, it’s falling apart. The younger disciples are panicking. Some are abandoning their squads!”Kai’s tone was cold. “We can’t afford a collapse. Activate internal broadcast channel.”“Broadcast channel open,” the System confirmed.Kai’s voice boomed through every communication device across the battlefield. “All Azure Cloud units, listen carefully. You will stop running

  • Chapter71: hidden weapon of the enemy

    Kai stood at the center command post. His eyes fixed on the glowing map projected by the System. Red markers blinked faster than before. Something was wrong.“System,” he said sharply, “update tactical feed.”“Processing…” the System replied. “Warning: Unknown energy detected within Crimson Serpent ranks. Source classified as ‘Ancient Artifact’ level. Effect radius: one kilometer and expanding.”Kai’s gaze darkened. “What kind of artifact?”“Energy signature resembles a formation nullifier. Estimated ninety-five percent chance it targets spiritual barriers directly.”“Formation nullifier?” Captain Ren repeated, his voice tense. “That would render our entire defense grid useless.”Elder Han stepped forward, clutching a talisman. “Impossible. Those relics haven’t been seen since the Old War. How could they possess one?”“Debating won’t change the outcome,” Kai said. “System, confirm barrier stability.”“Warning: Outer barrier stability reduced to sixty-one percent. Decline rate increasi

  • Chapter 70:retaliation strike

    Commander Kai,” Captain Ren said as he entered the command tent, his armor scratched and bloodstained. “Scouts confirmed the Crimson Serpent Sect has fortified a forward base ten miles south of the central pass. They are gathering more troops.”Kai stood in front of the tactical map, his eyes scanning the red markers that represented enemy formations. “How strong?”“Two thousand cultivators, including two domain-level elders,” Ren replied. “If they finish setting up their siege formations, we’ll be trapped here.”Kai nodded slowly. “Then we cannot wait for them to attack again. We strike first.”Elder Han frowned. “You want to launch a counter-offensive now? Our troops are tired, and our supplies are stretched thin.”Kai turned to him. “If we wait, they’ll send three times that number. We either hit now or dig our own graves later.”The System’s voice echoed clearly in his mind. “Quest Triggered: Retaliation Strike. Objective: Destroy Crimson Serpent Forward Base. Estimated Reward: Do

  • Chapter 68:sect master’s wound

    The flames in the distance brightened the night sky. Different noises came from the direction of the main camp as explosions tore through the defensive barriers. Kai’s communicator flared with urgent alerts from multiple units.“Commander! The Sect Master’s camp is under attack!” a panicked voice called.Kai stood immediately, his expression was hard. “How many attackers?”“Unknown! They came through a teleportation rift. High-level cultivators. The barrier failed!”“System, locate the Sect Master’s position,” Kai ordered. “Locating… Coordinates locked. Energy fluctuations indicate severe combat activity.”Kai’s sword flashed as he moved. “Ren, He Wen follow me. Call for backup from the inner hall units.”Ren’s tone was sharp. “You think this is a direct strike?”Kai said, “No doubt. They’re targeting command.”System Notification: “Host entering critical zone. Recommend full combat readiness.”They reached the camp within minutes. The area was in shambles. There collapsed tents, fa
