Qi Guze was like a black cat roaming in the night, his eyes sharp and deep, as if able to see through all disguises. He moved through narrow alleys, avoiding patrolling soldiers, and silently gathered intelligence.

Meanwhile, two guards were also operating within their respective areas. Like shadows, they moved through every corner of the Dark Moon Kingdom. Their movements were swift and precise, as if performing a silent dance.

After a thorough investigation, they finally grasped the distribution of troops within the city.

The three met again at the agreed location. Their eyes were filled with exhaustion, but even more so with satisfaction and pride.

"Everything is going well," Qi Guze said in a low voice, his voice full of confidence and determination.

The two guards nodded, and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.

Afterwards, they climbed over the wall again and left, returning to the temporary encampment of the three-nation alliance forces in the jungle.

The temporary camp had just been set up. Although it looked simple, it was cleverly integrated into the surrounding natural environment and appeared exceptionally secluded.

This was a makeshift camp built of rough timber and canvas, covered with dry branches and green leaves to prevent enemy reconnaissance.

In this secluded realm, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Alliance could temporarily set aside their fatigue and recharge for the upcoming operation.

When Qi Guze and his guards returned to their post, they were greeted with surprised and delighted looks. The soldiers smiled with relief upon seeing their safe return.

Inside the camp, the light was dim, with only a few flickering oil lamps emitting a faint glow. Qi Guze took out a luminous pearl from his pocket, and instantly, the surroundings were illuminated by a soft, gentle light.

He sat at a simple wooden table, surrounded by his guards. On the table lay a rough map, marked with various symbols in charcoal.

As Qi Guze ate his simple, rough food, he gave a detailed report on his investigation results. His expression was focused and serious, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"I found that there are more than a thousand people in the west and north," Qi Guze said, marking the corresponding locations on the map with a charcoal pencil.

The guard added, "There are several hundred people to the east." He also marked the area on the map, then looked up at Qi Guze, awaiting further instructions.

The second guard continued, "There are about three thousand men near the city gate." His words revealed a hint of worry, after all, the area near the city gate was the most heavily guarded by the enemy.

Qi Guze listened quietly to their report, quickly analyzing the situation in his mind. His brows were furrowed, and his expression was unusually serious.

He knew that the next operation would be extremely difficult, but they had to give it their all and fight for the victory of the Allied forces.

“We need to develop a detailed plan,” Qi Guze finally spoke, his voice firm and powerful. “We cannot act blindly; we must make full use of our advantages and attack the enemy by surprise.”

The guards nodded in agreement. They knew that Qi Guze was a resourceful leader who always made wise decisions at crucial moments.

Next, Qi Guze began to deploy the plan in detail. He analyzed the enemy's weaknesses and discussed how to use terrain and troop advantages to launch an attack.

Every decision he made was carefully considered to ensure that casualties among his soldiers were minimized.

As the discussion deepened, the atmosphere at the base grew increasingly tense. The soldiers listened intently to Qi Guze's explanation, their eyes filled with a desire for victory and anticipation for the future.

The camp remained brightly lit as Qi Guze and his guards discussed their next move. They knew this battle would be a test of their wisdom and courage.

But they also firmly believe that as long as they unite as one and forge ahead, victory will surely belong to them.

And so, in this simple and secluded temporary encampment, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces were making tense preparations for the upcoming battle.

Their hearts were filled with boundless faith and hope, and they looked forward to the day when they would be able to celebrate victory on this land.

Their voices were deep and powerful, like shooting stars streaking across the night, brief yet dazzling. As night deepened, the chirping of insects and the sound of the wind in the jungle intertwined to create a melodious nocturne.

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were hidden. Qi Guze stood on the high ground at the border of the Mingyue Kingdom, his gaze piercing through the darkness.

Behind him were the elite troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, silently deployed around the Dark Moon Kingdom like lurking dragons, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

During this time, they rested at their base, recovering their strength while closely observing the daily routines of the soldiers from the Mingyue Kingdom opposite them.

Every detail, every movement, was meticulously recorded and analyzed. This patience and attention to detail were to ensure a swift and successful attack.

On the third day at dusk, the sunset reflected off Qi Guze's cold and stern face.

Suddenly, a guard rushed over, his face full of tension: "Sir, something's happened!"

He handed over a piece of intelligence, which said that several figures in black had been seen moving quickly along a path in the direction of Wuling Kingdom.

Qi Guze took the intelligence report, his brows furrowing slightly. He knew all too well that in this land, any slight movement could conceal important information.

He quickly glanced around, then looked up at the guard and said, "They must be spies sent by the Wuling Kingdom. We can't let them succeed."

"Go, get rid of them."

Qi Guze's voice was cold and firm, like a cold wind blowing by, making everyone present feel his determination.

"Yes!" The guard responded and nimbly leaped up the hillside, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few bounds.

Following closely behind, several skilled guards shot towards the man in black like arrows.

As night deepened, the wind in the mountains grew sharper and more rapid. The man in black seemed unaware of the approaching danger, continuing his journey at his usual pace and rhythm.

However, just as they were about to pass through a dense forest, a dark figure suddenly leaped down from the treetops and landed in front of them.

"Who?" The leader of the men in black alertly drew his short sword from his waist, while the others quickly formed a battle formation.

"You spies from Wuling Kingdom, how dare you cause trouble right under the noses of our Three Kingdoms Alliance!" Guard One sneered, his voice filled with disdain and mockery.

The men in black exchanged glances, a hint of panic flashing across their faces.

But they quickly calmed down, and the leader said coldly, "Hmph, we're just passing by, what trouble could we possibly be causing? It's you who are acting so suspiciously here, do you have some kind of secret you're hiding?"
