Under Dath'Remar's command, the Highborne forces continued their advance, heading towards a magically abundant region in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdoms.

Among the Highborne troops, civilians helped some of the wounded who could walk forward, while the remaining seriously wounded lay on the Highborne's unique stretchers.

Most of the soldiers were diligently guarding the civilians, while some were sent out by Dath'Remar to serve as sentries, scouting ahead and guarding the rear.

Bandersson, meanwhile, silently followed behind them with the entire main force of the harassment troops.

Their advance is also reducing the retreat space for Dath'Remar's forces.

Kaostin's ambush force had also reached its designated position.

The combined attack from three sides will cause the Highborne immense suffering.

"Captain, look ahead, isn't that our advance force?" an Highborne scout said to his captain.

"Yes, what are they doing here? They should have reached their destination according to plan," the reconnaissance captain said.

"Should we go over and ask them?" the Highborne scout asked.

"Let's go ask them," said the Highborne scout captain, then led his scout team off.

The sentries sent out by the vanguard of the Highborne, who were resting, saw their comrades running towards them.

"Halt! Who are you?" The sentries of the vanguard revealed themselves.

"We are scouts sent by Lord Dath'Remar. What are your vanguard doing here?" the Highborne scout captain asked.

"I am a sentry dispatched by the advance team leader, currently on guard duty." Upon hearing the scout captain's words, and seeing that the person in front of him was one of his own, the Highborne sentry revealed where he came from.

"The advance party leader was worried about getting too far behind the main force, so he told me to stop here and wait for them," said the Highborne sentinel.

"The main force is just behind us. Go back and tell the advance captain. We need to go back and explain the situation here to Lord Dath'Remar," said the Highborne scout captain after learning why the advance force was here.

"Understood, I'll go back and explain to the advance captain." The Highborne sentinel finished speaking and withdrew.

"Let's go back too." Seeing that the sentry had already returned, the Highborne scout captain said to his men.

The other scouts nodded and followed their captain on the return journey.

They quickly rejoined the main army and found Dath'Remar in the heart of the force.

"Lord Dath'Remar, we have located the vanguard," said the Highborne scout captain.

"Oh? Are we almost at our destination?" asked the corrupted Dath'Remar.

"Damn it, how did we get to our destination so quickly?" Dath'Remar cursed inwardly.

"No, they didn't reach their destination."

"They were afraid of getting too far from the main force, so they stopped some distance from the finish line," said the Highborne scout captain.

"Then let's speed up and meet them." Hearing that they were still some distance from their destination, the corrupted Dath'Remar couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

As long as the destination hasn't been reached, he still has room to maneuver.

"Understood, sir." Upon hearing Dath'Remar's order, the Highborne scout captain immediately ran to the front of the group and urged them to speed up.

"They've sped up again," the Dragonhawk Loa priest said to Bandersson.

"The faster they run, the closer they are to death," Bandersson said calmly.

Bandersson and the Dragonhawk Loa priest were hiding in the forest not far from the Highborne forces with their trusted followers.

"By the way, how is your injury healing?" Bandersson turned to look at the Dragonhawk Loa Priest.

"It's almost healed," said the Dragonhawk Loa priest, touching his now-healed wound.

"Okay, then let's speed up and catch up with them," Bandersson said.

He then instructed the soldiers around him to give the orders on his behalf.

After a while, the Highborne forces rejoined their vanguard.

"Lord Dath'Remar." The vanguard captain, having heard from his soldiers that Dath'Remar had arrived with a large army, came to pay his respects.

"How much further until we reach our destination?" the corrupted Dath'Remar asked.

"There's still some distance to go; we'll arrive in a few days if we travel at full speed," the vanguard captain of the Highborne said truthfully.

"Okay." The corrupted Dath'Remar nodded and said.

"Let's stop and rest for a bit," said the corrupted Dath'Remar.

"Yes, sir." The first captain finished speaking and went to relay the order.

Meanwhile, the Forest Troll are on their side.

They stopped.

"This will soon become their graveyard," Bandersson said.

He then summoned several Forest Troll soldiers and ordered them to bypass the Highborne forces and contact Shadra's main army and Kaostin's ambush forces.

Upon receiving the order, the Forest Troll soldiers began to contact the rest of the Forest Troll forces.

"Lord Kaostin, how much longer do we have to wait?" Krongsai asked.

"No rush, let's wait for our sentries to send a message," Kaostin said, now unsure of what to do and simply dragging things out.

A short while later, the messenger sent by Bandersson arrived.

He was spotted by the sentries in Kaostin and brought here.

The messenger informed Kaostin that Bandersson had arrived.

"Alright, now we await Shadra's signal to attack," Kaostin said.

"Bandersson has already sent someone to contact Shadra," the messenger reported.

"Alright, you can go back now." Kaostin sent a messenger back to report.

Meanwhile, another messenger also found Lord Shadra, who had been lying in ambush for a long time.

"Bandersson has arrived, and Kaostin is ready. Now it's our turn." After saying this, Shadra sent the messenger back.

"Get the Warrior ready, we're about to attack," Shadra said to his personal guards.

The Amani Clan's war bear cavalry were also mobilized, ready to attack at any moment, and other troops were also prepared.

"Warrior! This battle will be filled with glory!"

"We will annihilate these invading enemies! We will revive the Forest Troll Empire!" Shadra said, raising his weapon.

"Attack!" Shadra brandished his weapon and immediately ordered the Amani War Bear Cavalry to Charge.

The war bears charged straight ahead, their sheer number making a huge commotion.

The forest was instantly thrown into turmoil, and the resting Highborne troops also sensed something was wrong.
