Regardless of how much they wished things were different, they had to face reality. The truth was that although Abisien now occupied Lingyuan City, they were still on the defensive. To shift to an offensive, they would absolutely need to capture Wufeng City, driving away the Dongsheng Empire's troops stationed there.
But speaking of driving them away was easier said than done. Wufeng City had amassed the entire northward advancing military force of the Dongsheng Empire. Without one or even several thrilling battles, the Demon Clan would be incapable of taking Wufeng City.
As they held Lingyuan City, the surrounding area was mountainous, with scant arable land. If they were to stay there for long, the land's output was sure to be insufficient to sustain a force capable of counterattacking.
Thus, both sensibly and logically, they needed to launch a counteroffensive. Only by capturing Wufeng City could they secure their footing and stabilize the confrontation.
