The defenses of Soaring City's defensive line could withstand at most three more Demon Race assaults.
Indeed, if the Demon Race saw through the truth of the situation and launched a frenzied, all-out offensive, it might not even hold for two.
Should they continue to hold their ground, or retreat?
That was a decision Liang Zhaohuang and the others had to make.
Liang Zhaohuang, Yang Tingguang, Liu Changyuan, Jiang Mao, and several other True Lords swiftly gathered to deliberate, ultimately deciding to withdraw.
The Soaring City defensive line had already fulfilled its task admirably by holding out for more than three months. Across the ten thousand li or so of territory behind it, several defensive lines had likewise been established. Though far inferior to the one at Soaring City, they could still somewhat delay the Demon Country's assault.
What was more, the Immortal Dynasty's true defensive focus and foundation lay at Glazed City.
Even if the defensive line at Soaring City were lost, judging from the intensity and circumstances of the Demon Country's attacks and battles over these past three months, Liang Zhaohuang and the others believed that Glazed City's defenses could hold for at least half a year.
With so much time, Liang Zhaohuang believed that some change or opportunity should surely arise on the several battlefields between the Immortal Dynasty and the Demon Country.

Moreover, this retreat could perhaps become an opportunity to scheme against the Demon Country's Demon
