Kalanis quickly calmed her mind, gazing directly with a somewhat weak look at the heroic young man before her.

Though her tone was weak, it was exceptionally firm.

"Sir, could you release me? Give me a steel saber, and let me fight with the army."

These words were indeed serious.

Lear raised an eyebrow slightly.

Feeling the other's weak status, and thinking of the thousands of Fallen Demon corpses, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Why are you so persistent?"

Kalanis's expression remained calm as she spoke.

"A warrior's fate is to die on the battlefield, not to be tied to a tree watching their companions fight."

The tone was earnest, without any falsehood.

Lear inexplicably felt that this valiant female warrior resembled a wild grass growing on the prairie, possessing tenacious life energy.

Even if trampled into the mud, she could revive after a heavy rain.

He gave her a deep look.

"My army is enough to handle everything... there's no need for you to step in."

"Now, your task is to heal well... a warrior with a broken body can't kill many enemies."

Lear said no more, turning away directly.

Returning to his previous position to continue commanding.

This female warrior has many things worth exploring, but now is not the time.

Kalanis watched his back, her eyes still firm, unaffected by his words.

Seeing that he did not release her, she began to mobilize the faint energy within her to heal her injuries.

Just as she said, she would never let her comrades and companions fight at the front while she hid behind.

Even now, still unaware of the other's identity, but since they were blocking the enemy, they were her comrades!

While recovering, Kalanis was also pondering Lear's true identity.

Undead, Lizard-men, Dark Night Elves, Half-Mechanical-men... why were these unrelated units gathering under a human's command?

Moreover, they were so powerful.

Though the Northern Province is vast, such an outstanding young man should not be unknown.

Looking towards the treetop, a hand grasped the branch, gazing far away into the distance.

The profile of the other's face was almost perfect, with no flaws to criticize.

Coupled with that unique temperament, it was unforgettable at a glance.

That young man seemed to carry an unfathomable mystery.

The battle continued.

The Ancient Tree Guardians spearheaded into the Demon Tide, achieving splendid results.

The Fallen Demons at the front could not withstand the Treants' advance.

Deserted Tomb Guards paired with Ancient Tree Guardians fought together as the main force.

Meanwhile, the Cold-blooded Cavalry were placed in less combat-intensive areas by Lear to conserve strength.

Even the number of times the Dark Night Elves pulled their bows was limited by Lear.

The arrows were far from sufficient; in this prolonged tug-of-war fight, allowing them to attack recklessly would only be a waste of arrows.

At crucial moments, without the support of ranged forces, the situation would become dire.

Under powerful pushing, the 5-kilometer distance was soon covered.

From an aerial view, demons roared and charged from all directions.

Like ants gathered together, wave after wave.

With no end in sight.

Lorand City's army was like a lone boat, forging straight through the storm.

Forcing their way into the area of the Abyssal Demon Iron Ore vein.

Lear's mood lifted instantly as he looked at the ore scattered across the ground.

Focusing intently, the attribute panel appeared in his mind.

Abyssal Demon Iron Ore

[Level]: Special

[Traits]: Can be smelted into 4-star level Abyssal Demon Iron, which can be used to forge weapons with unique attributes.

[Evaluation]: Only produced in the Abyss's veins.

4 stars?!

The level of Abyssal Demon Iron can reach 4 stars!

Lear's gaze instantly became fervent.

This vein must be seized!

This month, even if it turns into a nail, it must be firmly nailed here!

"Everyone, heed my order, set up defenses around this Abyssal Demon Iron vein, we're going to mine the ore here!"

The order was given, and the army immediately began to act, building a defense line around the vein.

This area lacks mountains to rely on, enemies will flow in from all around, and the pressure faced will be even greater.

But... no matter how great the pressure, it must be withstood.

This vein must be mined, and mined hard!

A 4-star vein, where the hell do you find this outside?

Even a top city like Lorand City would go crazy when encountering this grade.

It could even spark a war!

After calming down, his gaze turned to the Crimson Queen Bee flying beside him.

"Later, take a batch of corpses back, let the Bubble Beast transport them, and inform Bain to dispatch 20 Ancient Tree Guardians and 10 Vine Fairies to support us."

"Send at least 200 cave dwellers to mine the ore, bringing mining tools."

"The territory is to switch to full wartime readiness!"

"Priority in producing all resources needed for the war."

The Queen Bee was straightforward, immediately complying.

After the surging Fallen Demon army charged in, Lear consciously began collecting corpses.

Soon, the bubbles of the Bubble Beast were filled.

The Queen Bee immediately took the swarm of thousands of bees and the Bubble Beast back.

The bubbles filled with corpses floated in mid-air.

The Fallen Demons on the ground had no anti-air ability and could only watch them leave.

When they reached the space rift leading to the outside, the Crimson Queen Bee saw masses of demons gathering on the ground.

But the shield as thin as a cicada's wing blocked their way, preventing them from stepping into the Main Plane.

Instead, they could easily pass through and leave...
