Huzhou.
Ever since the Holy Sacrificial Army of the Ancestral God Hall had launched its ferocious campaign last time, slaughtering a great deal of the Devil Race's living strength in what had almost been a surprise attack and reclaiming vast swathes of lost territory,
the Central Imperial Guard's Four Symbols Legion, positioned on the very front line against the Devil Race, had ultimately stabilized the battlefront.
They had successfully recovered Huzhou's prefectural city, established a defensive line along Huzhou, and faced off across the city against Demon Emperor Second Crown Prince Zhui Ri.
Perhaps Demon Emperor Fifth Crown Prince Po Yue's death had dealt too great a shock to Demon Emperor Second Crown Prince Zhui Ri and Demon Emperor Seventh Crown Prince Cong Yun. The Devil Race's subsequent retaliation had instead ended with a blaze at the beginning and a whimper at the end.
Even now, the outside world did not know that Ancient Demon God She Wa, a Creation Realm Divine King of the Devil Race, had fallen during that retaliatory operation.
For precisely this reason, the intensity of the Devil Race's military operations had quietly decreased.
There was no doubt that the Great Zhou Ancestral God Hall's previous rampage during the Holy Sacrifice had made the Devil Race's upper echelon realize that Great Zhou remained a colossal entity.
Even though Great Zhou was beset by troubles within and without, teetering amid wind and rain, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse.
If the strength Great Zhou had amassed over tens of thousands of years surged back in retaliation, no matter which side it was, they would be left bloodied and battered, suffering grievous losses.
Perhaps out of this prudent consideration, the Devil Race had reduced the intensity of its two military fronts in Huzhou and Luzhou.
