The New World Alliance retreated from Wheat Ear City while Ma Wei led its forces into Fang Yuan’s ambush, confident his Golden Legions would prevail. Christian, Fiona, and Fis launched their counterattack, leaving the Golden Legion battle underway.

• The Harvest Evil God's holy son ordered his forces to prepare a counterattack against the monsters in the Kingdom of Nott while the Alliance dealt with other enemies.

Fang Yuan’s forces crushed Ma Wei’s three Golden Legions, prompting Ma Wei and Gu Xiaosang’s group to seek surrender. Fang Yuan accepted on strict conditions, and Gu Xiaosang agreed to help him destroy the New World Alliance after he defeated its main forces.

• Fang Yuan’s armies annihilated one of Ma Wei’s Golden Legions and surrounded the other two while devastating his Orange forces.
• Gu Xiaosang refused to risk her troops rescuing Ma Wei and proposed surrendering to Fang Yuan instead.

• Fang Yuan told Gu Xiaosang to await his orders and said he would destroy the New World Alliance’s main forces within three to five days.

Wang Heng’s forces broke through Fang Yuan’s Turtlemen and fifteen earlier waves of reinforcements, but the New World Alliance’s heavy losses prompted calls to preserve its Golden Legion. Before Wang Heng could withdraw it, reports arrived that Gu and Ma had been defeated and Fang Yuan’s Golden Legion had ambushed the front, forcing the battle line to retreat.

• The New World Alliance’s Golden Cavalry used the Night Hunters to break the Turtlemen formation and slaughter its defenders.

Lei persuaded the New Order Alliance Leader to betray Fang Yuan by warning the New World Alliance about his ambush, while Vice Alliance Leader Jing reluctantly went along. Lei contacted Gu Xiaosang with details of the trap, and she fell silent upon reading his message.

• Vice Alliance Leader Jing and the New Order Alliance Leader learned that Fang Yuan had devastated Gu Xiaosang and Ma Wei's forces.

• Vice Alliance Leader Jing reluctantly agreed, and Lei contacted Gu Xiaosang to reveal the trap.

Gu Xiaosang and Ma Wei discussed Lei’s warning and decided to use the alliance’s losses to undermine its morale. After Fang Yuan learned that the Central Land Resistance Organization’s patrol signal had vanished, he planned to exploit its suspected betrayal and ordered Gu Xiaosang to provoke a fight between it and the New World Alliance’s branch forces.

• Gu Xiaosang explained to Ma Wei why Lei’s information might be a trap and concluded that Fang Yuan could still defeat their forces.

After scouts reported unusual movements, Meng Qi put Gu Xiaosang in charge of the branch forces and sent her to respond.

• Meng Qi agreed to provide partial compensation, including Golden Curios, so the alliance could preserve its forces for the front lines.

• Scouts reported abnormal troop movements on the flank, and Meng Qi ordered Gu Xiaosang to set out for the branch immediately.

After Christian’s victory over the New World Alliance, Fang Yuan weighed the threat of Gu Xiaosang’s unused Storm Heavy Armor Legion and prepared for the decisive battle. He chose to launch a surprise countercharge against the enemy’s Orange Legions and left the offensive in Christian’s hands.

• Christian reported heavy losses and warned that Gu Xiaosang’s Storm Heavy Armor Legion had not joined the battle.
• Fang Yuan decided to bring Liu Zhenhan and the Bloodlust Alliance to guard the northwest flank.

• After consulting Lilith, Fang Yuan approved the countercharge and replenished his troops from the Wasteland Territory.
• Fang Yuan returned to the Outpost Camp and entrusted the offensive to Christian.

The New World Alliance lost another Orange Legion and several heroes to the Tiger Tribe Berserker Warriors, prompting Wang Heng to abandon the attack and organize a defensive line of upgraded Outpost Camps. As the alliance prepared its defenses, six elite cavalry units slipped through the fog and advanced toward its hinterland.

• Six elite cavalry units moved through the fog along the open attack route and advanced rapidly toward the New World Alliance's hinterland.

Christian’s cavalry groups penetrated deep behind the New World Alliance’s lines while Fiona adapted the frontal attack after discovering the enemy had built a defensive network. Wang Heng believed the camps had stopped Fang Yuan’s advance, unaware that enemy forces were already moving through his rear.

• Christian ordered his cavalry to halt and search for an enemy outpost after three hours of advancing, while Gudrian and Aria’s legions also stopped to locate targets.
• Albert and Kubo found an outpost on the New World Alliance’s right wing, then Albert led his Black Young Dragons deeper toward the enemy headquarters while Kubo attacked the camp.
• Fiona ordered the Wolf Riders and Pigmen Heavy Cavalry to draw out the enemy, then revised the plan after learning the New World Alliance had connected its outposts with walls.

• Wang Heng told the alliance leader that the front was in an excellent position and that the outposts had blocked Fang Yuan’s advance.

Fang Yuan decided to support Christian’s risky cavalry breakthrough by attacking the New World Alliance’s branch forces and preventing them from sending reinforcements. At the chapter’s end, Gu Xiaosang and Milhan approached the Central Land Resistance Organization, preparing to lure Fang Yuan’s ambush into a trap.

• A scout reported that Christian had destroyed three enemy forces and led six Cavalry Legions through a gap in the New World Alliance’s front line while Fiona and Fis attacked from outside.
• Fang Yuan rejected recalling Christian and chose instead to devour the branch alliance’s forces, tying down its Golden Legions and supporting the cavalry’s advance.
• Fang Yuan said Gu Xiaosang’s main force and the Central Land Resistance Organization were about to meet, with Vivian’s army positioned for an ambush.
• Milhan questioned whether the branch alliance should halt after scouts spotted resistance cavalry, but Gu Xiaosang convinced him the armies were still far apart.
• Gu Xiaosang told Milhan that Lei had agreed to expose Fang Yuan’s ambush force, and Milhan eagerly prepared to destroy the Dragon Nation lords.

Lei and the Resistance Organization staged a battle with Gu Xiaosang and Milhan’s New World Alliance forces to lure Fang Yuan’s hidden army into the open, but Lei was tricked into a trap instead. As Milhan’s troops retreated, Fang Yuan’s Golden Legions ambushed and surrounded them, leaving Milhan to surrender.

• Lei arranged a staged clash with Gu Xiaosang, sending Jing’s Skeleton Warriors and his Orange Cavalry against the New World Alliance’s advance force.
• Milhan committed more than a hundred thousand soldiers to the battle, and the New World Alliance wiped out the Resistance’s vanguard before pressing toward its front line.
• Jing and the New Order Alliance Leader revealed the trap and launched their forces, then withdrew while Lei was left facing the New World Alliance army.

Meng Qi’s New World Alliance faced the collapse of its branch forces and mounting attacks on its front line, while he refused to deploy his strongest legion. Wang Heng’s army was surrounded and under assault from Fang Yuan’s forces, leaving the chapter with the enemy attacking its command center.

• Meng Qi blamed Gu Xiaosang for the branch-alliance defeat, ordered her taken into custody, and commanded an attack on Milhan’s main city.
• Gu Xiaosang accepted her arrest calmly, believing Fang Yuan would destroy the alliance’s main army and knowing she could defect to Ma Wei’s side if necessary.
• Meng Qi rejected his deputies’ suggestion to deploy his core legion, fearing that using the Mist Artifact again would weaken the mist suppressing the Old Continent, and instead sent reinforcements while relying on forbidden spells.

• Wang Heng learned that a 600,000-strong enemy force was advancing toward his army as Fang Yuan’s Golden Legion attacked the outer castles of his command center.

Christian and Breni’s forces continued attacking the New World Alliance’s patrols and outposts, then discovered the Alliance’s Command Center was hidden in a depression. Christian sent Breni and the Demon Knights to strike the Command Center while he went to support Gudrian and Aria.

• Christian and Breni’s forces wiped out a group of Shadow Hunters, bringing their tally to ten groups and at least thirty thousand golden soldiers killed.
