Liangzhou Western Frontier.
On the towering city walls, a hundred feet high, soldiers clad in dark armor stood in ranks, on strict guard.
Inside the city, numerous large-scale war machines were being assembled, as well as massive dragons, elephants, and flood dragons pulling war carriages as big as small buildings from within the territory, filled with arrows, weapons, and provisions.
In the barracks, everyone had their duties from patrolling to standing watch.
War eagles continually returned to the camp from beyond the borders, bringing back the intelligence they had gathered.
"Strange, these demons have gone quiet."
In the camp, Li Xuanli sat in his commander's seat, frowning in thought.
The intelligence had detected a group of demons 800 li away, retreating towards the east.
