The third prince was completely finished. After suffering such a significant blow during his first leadership in battle, he had completely lost the ability to command his troops.
The generals of the divine race were aware of this as well. To prevent their troops from sacrificing themselves in vain and to ensure the safety of the third prince, they had no choice but to call upon Yun Tianlei to lead the battle. Hence, aside from the initial few attacks on the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line, all subsequent combat was commanded by Yun Tianlei.
Although Yun Tianlei had previously had his token taken by the third prince and was forbidden from commanding troops, the members of the divine race were well aware of his capabilities. Therefore, after the third prince was rendered useless, they had no choice but to request Yun Tianlei to take command.
However, they were unaware that the pressure on Yun Tianlei due to the situation was not any less than that on the third prince, and he was nearing the brink of collapse. Although he hadn't fully broken down yet, it was close.
In such circumstances, the divine race's offensive was still structured, but overall, it had not reached its optimal state.
Yun Tianlei had no choice but to launch an attack. He was almost certain that the kingdom of light was being attacked by Zhao Hai. If they could not break through the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line and enter the Ark Continent, it would be disastrous for them. The golden bull king would not spare him, and even the marshal would not be able to protect him.
Yun Tianlei knew very well that once their troops engaged the undead legion at the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line, there would be no retreat. Zhao Hai would not allow them to return to the kingdom of light easily. Even though they had taken less than four days to come from the kingdom of light, if they wanted to return now, it would take much longer—perhaps half a month, and by then, it would be too late.
Yun Tianlei understood what Zhao Hai's entry into the kingdom of light represented. Since the golden bull divine race had begun protecting dimensions, there had never been an instance of their rear being attacked, and now it was happening under his command. This left him in a very difficult position. He understood that the third prince was finished, and so was he.
Now, Yun Tianlei could only hope to attack the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line quickly and enter the Ark Continent. Perhaps the old king would consider their efforts and punish them lightly.
Three days had passed, and they had been held up at the Aklaya Mountain Defense Line by the undead legion for three full days. They had launched countless attacks, but to no avail; they simply could not break through that line of defense. This made Yun Tianlei's mood deteriorate further, as he understood that the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it was for him.
Yun Tianlei also noticed that the orcs and winged horse tribe members were evidently not putting in their full effort. However, he did not dare confront them, as they had attracted considerable attention from the undead army. It would be unwise to turn against the orcs and winged horse tribe at this moment.
Yet, Yun Tianlei remembered these two races. He was contemplating how to deal with them once they returned, intending to have the divine race suppress them severely.
Zhao Hai, of course, was unaware of what Yun Tianlei was thinking. When he arrived in the living room, the divine race's army was still attacking, and Meigen was currently commanding the battle while Princess Li had gone to rest.
Meigen glanced at Zhao Hai and smiled slightly, "Brother Hai, you're back. Have you finished dealing with things over there?" Although the battle was to be commanded by Meigen, she didn't need to manage much, as the undead beings were quite intelligent. Her main job was to prevent any unexpected situations, and she didn't need to interfere too much with normal combat.
Looking at Meigen's tired face, Zhao Hai said softly, "I'm done, Meigen. After two more days, I have arranged everything with the demon clan. They will come to support us soon, and then we can decisively deal with the divine race."
