My Misfortune Crushed Instances

"Guan Gui and Roger Simon are fighting east of Liangshui."

"Kong Ji has encountered an unknown high-risk target; they are in a standoff."

"Dong Sanchuan’s unit repelled Landry, but high-risk target Finn stepped in, making it impossible to continue north to support."

.....

Communications were relayed to the command center one by one, and Cheng Wen made deployments accordingly.

So far, the line at the border between the Dragon Country and the Western Kingdom has turned into chaos.

Overall, Dragon Country has deployed more Extraordinaries because the Demon Race from the Wind Slave Royal Court is more numerous, and they are better trained, more adept at large-scale battles compared to the Witch Race around Witch City.

"Move 0105 over; I need him to break the balance at the Willow Forest battlefield."

Cheng Wen calmly coordinated, and someone relayed the order immediately.

The bearded man said, "Should I go instead?"

"Wait a little longer. If you show up now, it will make us seem desperate. They might switch to a delaying defensive strategy, which would prevent Li Rui from breaking through."

The bearded man hesitated but eventually nodded.

"Something’s not right."

At this moment, Chen Cheng suddenly halted the two, "Any intel from the south about the Polar Alliance? I feel something’s off."

Although people joked that he was a has-been, it was just a jest among acquaintances. Realizing he had a bad feeling, the two took it seriously.

The bearded man immediately sent a deputy to the southern scouting posts for intel, but before leaving, someone came to report.

"The Polar Alliance has moved north; it looks like they’re targeting us."

"Damn it."

The bearded man cursed on the spot, "These bastards, we just had a good talk earlier, and now they’ve gone back on their word."

Cheng Wen immediately said, "0105 can’t come, and you must also head south; pass your authority to the deputy to act on your behalf."

"Understood." The bearded man quickly left the command center.

This development made the atmosphere slightly more tense, albeit only somewhat.

Theoretically, the combined national powers of the three major countries are similar, making it difficult for any single country to withstand a coalition attack from the other two.

However, the battlefield in the Secret Realm is not truly about national power, especially with a fixed level cap.

This time, the Dragon Country has many young strong leaders, with Guan Gui holding off Simon, Dong Sanchuan capable of fighting multiple foes single-handedly, and several other 01 units defending the south. If merely holding the enemy at bay is the goal, it might just be achievable.

Cheng Wen’s sole concern was Li Rui.

"Map, begin the simulation now. If I move west from Nine Bends Bay, can we draw out and disperse Western Country’s defenses nearby?"

The command center is equipped with a strong analyst from the Superpower Division’s Intelligence Analysis Office, serving as the chief strategist for the Secret Realm battlefield.

His simulations are not based merely on intelligence, but he uses his skills for evolution. The sand table he’s observing might look the same to others, but to him, countless small figures are already in combat within it.

He just needs to use the pre-prepared information to calculate the outcome, similar to an AI, with high accuracy but highly dependent on the intelligence. If the information is incorrect, he will derive incorrect results.

After five minutes, his face turned slightly red.

"We can distract the enemy, but if your intention is to have 0109 break through the gap created by your maneuver, it might not achieve the intended outcome."

"Why?" Cheng Wen looked at him.

The chief strategist was somewhat conflicted as he smacked his lips, "There’s no specific reason; it’s just quite difficult, as it’s about breaking through someone else’s well-laid defenses."

"Any other methods?"

"According to my calculations, it’s a deadlock. Only the approach you mentioned might have some chance."

The chief strategist secretly admired the commander’s insight, for relying solely on command experience and intuition, he had picked out the only possible solution.

"Then I’ll go; you’re temporarily in charge as the acting chief commander."

Cheng Wen gathered personnel and took part of the Demon Race reinforcements that had been summoned from the north, heading straight to the front line.

Nine Bends Bay is part of the upstream stretch of the Liang River. After crossing this river, he quickly attracted the enemy’s attention.

More accurately, even the enemy’s command center was in an uproar.

Cheng Wen had been quite famous in the chaotic lands a few years earlier. He was a standard late bloomer. Before the age of 35, he was an obscure Secret Realm agent, only a team leader at a municipal branch.

But the allure of Secret Realm exploration lies here. After he transitioned from a Daoist to a Talisman Master as an occupation and unexpectedly acquired a Legendary Level skill, he quickly made his mark and became a reserve adviser of the Superpower Division in a few short years.

Everyone knew that as long as the Secret Realm battlefield didn’t end too catastrophically, he would become an official adviser upon returning, joining the ranks of those mysterious experts in the Execution Office, who are as elusive as dragons.

When such a person appeared at the front line, the Western Kingdom side was anxious. They hadn’t anticipated his short temper, storming aggressively to the front line.

There was simply no alternative. He initially withheld the bearded man from the front line to keep an ace up his sleeve, but now that the Polar Alliance was causing trouble, he intended to use a thunderous assault to help Li Rui break through, allowing them to focus on defense.

Regardless, once he appeared on the field and used talismanic methods to annihilate a Demon Race squad, the Western Kingdom dispatched their true elite. Numerous Royal Court armies began to surge from all directions, with several elite Extraordinaries appearing, granting the highest level of "reception" thus far from the Western Kingdom.

Even faced with such formidable preparations, Cheng Wen remained composed, as he always did.

Innumerable talismans flew out from his sleeve.

In an instant, the world changed colors.

Some talismans fell to the ground, transforming into golden-armored warriors,

some landed among the vegetation, turning into roaring Fierce Beasts;

some summoned river waters to block the charging Royal Court cavalry;

turn day into night, scatter beans to form soldiers, cut grass to form steeds, draw the earth into rivers.

This was Immortal Technique, beyond the grasp of mere mortals, simulated only through talismans, yet incomparable to True Skill.

So had the elderly Daoist in the Secret Realm said when imparting this skill to him.

Regardless, for Cheng Wen back then, this Legendary Level skill made him the sovereign of the battlefield, able to confront countless enemies single-handedly.

...

Most of this giant island is characterized by a warm climate, with the north’s Nuanyang State even being a blistering desert wasteland.

The Polar Alliance, entrenched in the southern Zhangye State, was in a different environment than usual, but it didn’t affect their morale.

The cry of a warbler echoed from high above, and a shadow followed the sound, alighting on the shoulder of an armored Human Race individual.

"Your Highness, the battle has already begun."

Bang.

A young man beside him closed the book in his hand, saying gently, "Thank you for your hard work; could you please tell me why the Western and Dragon Countries have gone to full-scale war at this time?"

He was entirely unaware of the current situation, yet the Hunter controlling beasts showed no surprise, understanding that the son of Uleir was the Church’s sword. All he needed to do was impose Divine Punishment on the enemy, without concerning himself with anything else.

After pondering for a moment, the Hunter replied, "It started with Bishop Noaoref defeating Western Country’s Dylan Hegg. The Dragon Country’s Foggy Evil Ghost took the opportunity to assassinate the cursed individual, but then the Western Country seized the chance to trap the Foggy Evil Ghost in Cold Wind State..."

"I see."

Vons nodded, "So he is the protagonist. Coincidentally, the list my teacher gave me includes the name Foggy Evil Ghost. I believe the situation will change. Let’s go, and under the name of Uleir, bring an end to this chaos."
