Nightingale's concerns had indeed come to fruition; two powerful families had arrived at the Yuanhua Plane the day before, and at this moment, they were being secretly positioned within the mountains on the west side of the battlefield, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the imperial army at the critical moment.
Due to the massive size of the two families' armies, they had not initially considered the need to hide their movements. However, after Lu Hong had infiltrated Gold City alone and managed to escape successfully, the Gold Family realized they had overestimated the strength of their own defenses.
To prevent the imperial intelligence officers from discovering the traces of the two families, the army of three hundred thousand soldiers was divided into thousands of small units, with those warriors of the Third Transition and above acting independently from their troops, all to better conceal their whereabouts.
