The Forest Troll's Witch Doctor and the Highborne's mage began casting their spells to reduce the number of enemy Warrior.

The two sides are now locked in a stalemate.

"The soldiers you brought are no match for Amani's power."

Kaostin forced Daren Theron back with a single slash.

"That's hard to say, and your soldiers don't seem that strong."

Daren Theron countered.

The battles between the generals were evenly matched, but the battles at the lower levels were extremely bloody.

Casualties on both sides also began to increase after the introduction of French professional players.

"Whoosh." A throwing knife shot towards an Highborne soldier who had just approached Dath'Remar's lieutenant.

The Highborne soldier struck fell instantly, and his death prompted Dath'Remar's lieutenant to become alert.

A hunter in the shadows has set his sights on them.

But he is now on the battlefield, surrounded by the sounds of battle.

This prevented him from pinpointing the location of the enemy hidden in the darkness.

"Hateful!"

"Come out if you dare!" Dath'Remar's lieutenant, weapon in hand, stared intently at his surroundings.

But the hunter in the darkness had no intention of attacking Dath'Remar's lieutenant.

His target was always the other Highborne soldiers.

Throwing knives were launched from the shadows, and one after another, Highborne soldiers fell to the ground.

"Damn it, come out!" Dath'Remar's lieutenant could no longer contain his rage as he watched his soldiers fall one by one.

The pent-up anger was released at this moment, engulfing him and causing him to lose his mind.

The enraged lieutenant wildly swung his weapon, trying to draw out the hunter lurking in the darkness.

The hunter in the darkness was unaffected by the angry lieutenant.

He continued his hunt, and soon Highborne soldiers surrounding Dath'Remar's lieutenant were killed by him.

The hunter in the shadows left after completing his mission, leaving only Dath'Remar's lieutenant behind.

Just as agreed, after the hunter in the darkness left, the other Forest Troll who had witnessed everything rushed up.

He wanted to kill the elf, but by then, Dath'Remar's lieutenant was consumed by rage.

Consumed by rage, he swung his weapon and killed the approaching Forest Troll.

Troll blood splattered all over Dath'Remar's face.

This made him look somewhat terrifying; Troll blood streamed down his face, and his golden hair was soaked with Troll.

He now looks like a demon crawling out of hell.

Kaostin dodged Daren Theron's attack with a backflip.

"Not bad," Kaostin said.

"But I need to retreat now." With that, he took the opportunity to leave.

As he retreated, he also sounded the retreat horn for the Forest Troll.

"Waaaaah, waaaah, waaaah".

The Forest Troll sounded their retreat horns, and upon hearing them, Forest Troll ceased their prolonged engagement with their enemies and sought opportunities to withdraw from the battlefield.

The sudden retreat of the Forest Troll surprised all the Highborne, and some of the more radical ones even began to pursue the retreating Forest Troll.

Dath'Remar's lieutenant was a prime example; enraged, he did not cease his attack despite the Forest Troll ' retreat.

He still attacked the Forest Troll, and the other Highborne soldiers went to stop him, but Dath'Remar's lieutenant was blinded by rage.

His ferocious appearance deterred almost all the soldiers, but some elves went forward to try and persuade him.

"Sir, the enemy has retreated." The soldier stepped forward and seized Dath'Remar's lieutenant, who was chasing after the Forest Troll.

"Let me go, soldier!" Lieutenant Dath'Remar broke free of the soldier's restraints and continued his pursuit.

"Sir! Please stop!"

"The enemy has retreated. If you continue to pursue them, more and more of your comrades will sacrifice themselves to save you!"

What a high-ranking soldier said deafened him.

His anger only intensified, and the images of his compatriots dying before his eyes flashed through his mind again and again.

But the soldier's words brought him back to his senses.

His grip on the weapon loosened, but he quickly gripped it again.

"Alright, let's go find Theron Thron now and let him decide," said Dath'Remar's adjutant.

The soldiers who had stopped Dath'Remar breathed a sigh of relief as his lieutenant regained his senses.

Dath'Remar's lieutenant led soldiers to Theron Thron.

Daren Theron is directing the Highborne to begin collecting the corpses of their brethren, burning the bodies of Forest Troll, and repairing the defenses.

"General, what should we do?" Daren Theron's adjutant asked.

"Have we figured out the Troll's intentions?"

"Although the Troll initiated the attacks, they always retreated halfway through each fight."

"They seem to be trying to lure us out," the adjutant said.

"Therefore, we must hold our ground for now and wait until Lord Snyder and Lord Dath'Remar have resolved the camp's issues before making any further plans."

Daren Theron said he had no other choice but to do this.

General Theron.

Lieutenant Dath'Remar led his soldiers to Daren Theron.

"Theron Thron, what should I do now?" asked Lieutenant Dath'Remar.

"Stay put," Daren Theron said.

"Hold firm and not come out? Why!" said Dath'Remar's lieutenant.

"Because the Troll are trying to lure us out."

"We can't be fooled," Daren Theron said.

"Hold on, hold on again!"

Are we supposed to stay here until we all die?!

"Every time the Troll attack, we lose Warrior."

"The camp's problems haven't been resolved yet, and now the Troll problem has arisen."

"Therefore, we must completely solve the Troll problem!"

"Dath'Remar!" roared his lieutenant, his last shred of reason consumed by rage. All he wanted now was to lead his troops to wipe out the Forest Troll.

"The camp is too busy to attend to us right now; the civilians need to be protected, and the camp needs to be guarded."

"So sticking to your principles is the most effective way, do you understand?" Daren Theron said bluntly.

"We should take the initiative and wipe out these invading Troll in one fell swoop."

"Dath'Remar," the lieutenant retorted.

"So what do you want to do?" Daren Theron said.

"Let's gather our forces, leaving only enough guards to protect the line. The rest of the soldiers will come with us to destroy these Troll."

"Once these Troll are defeated, we can return to help Lord Dath'Remar."

"You can take soldiers who want to work with you to carry out your plans."

"I will not be with you."

Daren Theron rejected his plan and stated that he would not work with him.

However, he agreed that the soldier could be conscripted to carry out the plan.

Seeing this, Dath'Remar's lieutenant didn't say much and went to gather troops to prepare for a proactive attack on the Forest Troll.
