The strategy for this battle was to attack from west to east: first reclaim Li Yue Province, then Cang Yuan Province. The north-south front, meanwhile, would focus on defense.
Aside from Devil's Great Rift Valley, the north-south direction was also separated by the Chongxing Mountain Range, which was easy to defend and difficult to assault. Thus, they did not believe the enemy would attack from that direction, and there was no need to commit too many troops there.
The commanders and leaders of the major Soul Master organizations and sects had all taken their assigned positions. Soul Tool Communicators were linked to the real-time images manifested by Liu Xiaoxiao, ready to receive commands.
