At the border.
The Dragon Kingdom's army stood before India's capital.
On the city wall, all six of the Alliance's Five-Star Generals appeared except Nancy, whom Yang Pan had killed through underhanded means.
The five gazed across at the Dragon Kingdom's main army in the distance.
This was a war that perfectly blended modern technology with cold steel.
There were aircraft and shells capable of destroying city walls.
There were mighty Awakened capable of devastating heaven and earth.
There were cold-weapon legions drawn up in orderly formations.

Both sides had committed their last reserves.
The victor would rise to the pinnacle of Blue Star.
The loser... would face nothing but dismemberment.
A war for the fate of nations.
A war for supremacy over Blue Star.
Atop the wall, the five Five-Star Generals looked ashen.
They had already received word that the Alliance had withdrawn.
Even the mighty Alliance had no confidence in fighting the Guan Family on the Dragon Kingdom's doorstep.
"Generals, the latest news..." A messenger stepped forward with intelligence in hand and spoke quietly. "The battle on Divine Mountain is over."
"How did it go?"
The five perked up.
The outcome of the battle on Divine Mountain had enormous implications for the main front.

"The Pope... is dead."
"The Holy Arbiter was captured."
"Old Bat fled."
"The Great Sage died in battle."
"Eve is missing."
"All the Coalition Forces' elite combatants sent to Divine Mountain were wiped out."
The five swayed, nearly fainting.
How were they supposed to fight now?
A single battle
