My Misfortune Crushed Instances

"Benefactor, can we go out now?"

Ju Ye was eager to move, feeling a bit impatient.

Below, the Demon Race army was frequently mobilizing, with many central guards being sent forward. It seemed like the defensive line of the Dragon Country had caused them significant setbacks.

However, overall, the alliance between the Western Kingdom and the Wind Slave Royal Court remained strong, especially when they combined their forces.

At the front, Cheng Mingyue was trying her best to preserve her side’s living forces, but the enemy seemed endless, forcing her to retreat the line of battle, which was also part of the plan, as long as the retreat wasn’t too far.

A controlled retreat could also stretch the enemy’s formation, creating an opportunity for Li Rui.

Hopkins didn’t feel anything was wrong as he tossed aside a Demon Race corpse, whose neck he had just snapped.

"Chase them quickly, we can’t let them escape back!"

On the front lines, he was the temporary primary commander. Once he gave the order, the others rushed out.

So far, today’s plan hadn’t encountered any major hiccups. The only surprise was that Cheng Mingyue’s strength exceeded expectations, and the dozens of Extraordinaries she brought were powerful enough to retreat unharmed in such circumstances.

After his subordinates chased after them, Hopkins, while replenishing his stamina, sought out the Demon Race general of the Wind Slave Royal Court.

"Move quickly, bring your people and follow me."

The other hesitated a bit, "But, we’ve already suffered great losses here."

"All the more reason not to give up, otherwise it’s all for nothing, isn’t it?"

Hopkins thought to himself, since their leader didn’t care about the common members of the Demon Race’s lives, he didn’t need to conserve them either.

After convincing the Demon Race commander, he immediately rushed to the front lines.

At this time, Cheng Mingyue had already begun engaging with the vanguard. Her pressure was greater than expected because the arrival of people like Hopkins wasn’t part of the plan.

What puzzled her the most was that the intelligence system of the entire Dragon Country region hadn’t detected the enemy’s large-scale troop movements, indicating that the enemy was deeply strategic and had deliberately made this plan.

In other words, they had fallen into a trap.

She hoped Li Rui would act quickly, because if the Western Kingdom’s rear didn’t encounter some trouble soon, she’d likely have to retreat according to the backup plan.

This would mean not only the assassination of King of Suiye would fail, but the command center’s strategic goal of maintaining all occupied territories would also be unachievable, which was the worst-case scenario.

Boom—

A chain of lightning bounced off several Demon Race members nearby. To save Spiritual Power, she merely dodged, getting slightly grazed with non-serious injuries.

This skill wasn’t too concerning, but the Western Kingdom Extraordinaries who appeared with the lightning chain were quite tricky.

A glow of skill hovered in her hands, ready to strike at any moment. Since the individual strengths of the opponents weren’t as good as hers, they dared not approach recklessly.

Seizing the opportunity, Cheng Mingyue glanced around the battlefield with her peripheral vision, discovering that her side’s Extraordinaries were all suppressed, and those local Demon Race members recruited were either dead or surrendered, showing a scene of decline.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, she could only open her mouth to stall for time, "Jones, last time when we fought, we were evenly matched. Why are you lowering yourself to team up with others now?"

The Western Kingdom Extraordinary she named didn’t naturally reply, saying, "Cheng, this is a battlefield, concerned only with victory or defeat."

Cheng Mingyue’s expression remained unchanged, appearing full of confidence, "Right, but are you sure that teaming up will guarantee a win?"

The person named Jones didn’t respond, but someone beside him hurriedly said, "Stop nagging! Once Hopkins arrives, her end will be here."

These words were meant to prevent the straightforward Jones from exposing any flaws; in truth, there was still no real confidence.

However, suddenly, Cheng Mingyue spotted a flaw.

"You’re right, but where’s Hopkins?"

Since the chase began until now, quite some time had passed. Even if it were replenishing states, it should have been enough already, yet that Wizard known for his bold methods still hadn’t appeared.

Amid the realization, everyone fell into hesitation when suddenly cold air blew in.

A few people simultaneously shifted their gaze over, only to see a thick mist rushing out of the once-clear sky, accompanied by some ice crystal fragments.

"What, is this?"

Jones trembled as he spoke, although he already knew the answer in his heart.

Cheng Mingyue found it quite amusing and said with a smile, "Since even the Divine Son of the Polar Alliance is here, it seems today you all will shed some blood."

She understood almost instantly that this sudden incident must’ve been the strategy of the Polar Alliance.

These guys had also done an excellent job with their secrecy beforehand. Neither the Dragon Country nor the Western Kingdom had detected the news, and so Vons entered the battlefield without warning.

What made Cheng Mingyue excited was that the snowstorm’s emergence point was on the western side of the battlefield, precisely where the Western Kingdom, or rather the Wind Slave Royal Court, was passing through.

Hence, at this moment, the backstabbing Polar Alliance turned into an ally.

This religious alliance from the Snowfield always preferred making the finishing move, which was closely related to the personality of the Head Bishop.

In the last major battle, the Head Bishop’s style was widely disliked in the Dragon Country’s camp, but now it had become genuinely helpful.

Initially planning to surround Cheng Mingyue and delay until Hopkins arrived, several individuals immediately started retreating after throwing down two skills to block.

While Hopkins was formidable, frankly he might not be a match for that Divine Son, and the situation had changed, necessitating the priority of consolidating to ensure the core forces’ survival.

But now, Cheng Mingyue turned into someone enjoying the chaos.

Since the fight was in the enemy’s territory, not interfering felt like a missed opportunity.

Besides, she believed that the more chaotic the front lines were, the more enemies they attracted, making it easier for Li Rui to succeed.

So she immediately called on the nearest people, treated her injuries briefly, and pursued right away.

At this moment, Vons had already used his signature skill, Ice Storm, and Hopkins, initially advancing to confront Cheng Mingyue, also got delayed there.

"Release!!"

The spear throwers of the Wind Slave Royal Court launched their weapons, shooting toward Vons like comets. However, he merely waved his hand lightly, and a wind mixed with snow shoved it aside.

He alone represented both power and numbers, with an overwhelming momentum and destructive power.

Hopkins unleashed the legendary skill Nether River Inversion, with boundless darkness crashing against the snowstorm, ending up in a stalemate due to its annihilating properties.

However, both parties knew that in terms of endurance, Vons’ Ice Storm was significantly more powerful.

The Divine Son didn’t care about the dark forces ahead, as after the last battle, the only thing on his mind was Li Rui’s All Heaven Thunder Fire Spell.

Following several fierce exchanges, more Western Kingdom and Dragon Country Extraordinaries joined in, making the frontline messier than ever before.

At this time, on Howling Wind Mountain, Ju Ye was beginning to grow impatient.

"Benefactor, should we not act yet?"

Li Rui frowned, looking at the large-scale mobilization of the Demon Race troops, and said without turning his head, "Wait a little longer, it should be very soon."
