He planned to keep the southern legions in place and use his own strength to help the Tianwu Dynasty overcome the Elemental Kingdom’s weakened forces.

After Fire Lord was severely injured, Yue Fei launched the northern campaign, and Xiao Tianyang arrived at Icefield City to take responsibility for confronting enemy generals and their king.

Xiao Tianyang fought the Elemental Kingdom’s princes on the ground battlefield while pursuing Yue Fei’s strategy of reclaiming territory and wearing down enemy forces without driving them to desperation. The chapter left the battle ongoing, with Xiao Tianyang focused on securing a strategic victory rather than defeating the princes outright.

Xiao Tianyang and Yue Fei discussed how to defeat the Elemental Kingdom’s main force without forcing it into a desperate counterattack. Yue Fei proposed drawing the enemy onward while using Icefield City to hold off any diversion, leaving his troops free to strike the enemy’s rear.

• Xiao Tianyang worried that a direct confrontation or a trade of bases would cause needless losses and drive the enemy to desperation.
• Yue Fei explained that the Tianwu Dynasty’s superior coordination, firepower, and morale made the Elemental Kingdom vulnerable in positional warfare, and proposed breaking through its trap to fight a series of encounters.
