That night, the sky was thick with dark clouds, hiding the moon and stars.
At the mountain pass, the encampments of the Sniper Corps and the Northern Expedition Legion were brightly lit. Figures could be seen moving about from time to time.
In the central encampment of the Northern Expedition Legion, under Mei Yuan's orders, the lords who had also been infested by the Eye Demon led their men and quietly left the camp under the cover of night.
They then split into two groups. One headed for the mountain forest behind them, while the other slipped through the gaps in the encampment and moved toward the enemy camp at the pass.
RUSTLE... RUSTLE...
Carried on the gentle breeze, the sound of their footsteps was nearly imperceptible.
In a dark hollow, a few lords stopped and gave quiet orders to their men.
"In a moment, you'll sneak over there. See that spot?"
