The demon army, travel-worn from their march, bypassed Cold Pass and headed toward Pine Pavilion Pass. But in reality, as they passed by Cold Pass, they had already been spotted by its scouts.

The defending general of Cold Pass, Zhu Xunsong, was a native-born member of a frontier army military family from the northern lands. At the height of the Zhu Family’s prominence, his ancestors had even served as cavalry commanders like Li Changling. However, the later generations of the Zhu clan had not lived up to that legacy. In recent years, although they still had a presence in the army, they had mostly been relegated to roles such as deputy generals. Zhu Xunsong could be considered a descendant of the Zhu Family who had achieved some success after many years. Being able to serve as the commander of a pass at such a young age meant his future prospects were naturally promising.

And since he could hold the position of a pass commander, he naturally had ability. When the scout reported the news to him, this young defending general immediately made his move.

First, he dispatched scouts to notify the commanders of nearby passes, telling them to closely monitor the demon race’s movements and maintain communication. After that, he personally wrote a military report and had a scout deliver it to Pine Pavilion Pass.

At the same time, he informed the General’s Office.

He remembered clearly that the female general was currently over there. With her present, how to respond next did not require much thought, they only needed to follow her lead.

However, just after his report had been sent out, scouts from Pine Pavilion Pass had already arrived at Cold Pass.

Zhu Xunsong took the report handed to him by the scout, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.

At his side, the deputy general, also a member of the Zhu clan and his younger cousin, looked at him and cautiously asked, “General, what’s wrong?”
