The deal was settled, and he said to Chu Shaoqiang, “Draw a map for Sancheng Daoguiling, the more detailed the better.”
Chu Shaoqiang had already prepared a map, and without much courage, he handed it to Li Banfeng directly: "You circle it on top and mark all the things that cannot be demolished."
Li Banfeng holds the blueprint and...
The battle was over and the battlefield fell silent. Prozhou stood on the battlefield littered with corpses, with rain mixed with blood flowing down his feet. His hand holding the spear trembled slightly, not because of fatigue, but because of the uncontrollable excitement and anger in his heart.
Zhao Xiaowan dragged her injured body to Prozhou's side, looking at the fragment of the Sky Blade in his hand with a complicated expression. "We succeeded." She whispered, with a hint of fatigue and relief in her tone, "But the price..." Before she finished speaking, her eyes swept across the devastated battlefield, and her voice gradually became lower.
Prozhou did not respond, but just stared at the artifact fragment in his hand silently. This thing emitted a faint blue light, as if it was alive. He closed his eyes and completely integrated the power of the fragment into his spiritual power. In an instant, a vast energy burst out from his body, sweeping across the battlefield like a storm. All the remaining Totem Army soldiers were shocked by this pressure and could not move. Some even knelt on the ground, their faces as pale as paper.
"The future of Shang is created by our own hands!" Prozhou's voice resounded through the sky, echoing in the ears of every soldier. His eyes were firm and blazing, as if burning with a raging fire. At this moment, he was no longer an ordinary general, but a true leader, a being who could lead Shang to glory.
However, the joy of victory did not last long. Prozhou soon realized that although the war had achieved a phased victory, a greater crisis was quietly approaching. He looked up at the distant horizon, where a dark cloud could be vaguely seen, which seemed to indicate that the future storm would be even more severe.

In the dead of night, Prozhou sat alone in the tent, playing with the fragment of the Sky Blade in his hand. Although this thing contained great power, Prozhou felt an inexplicable uneasiness. Although the light it emitted was beautiful, it carried a hint of cold murderous intent, as if it could devour the user's soul at any time.
"Sir, haven't you rested yet?" Fan Bosong pushed the door open with a worried look on his face. "This battle was too brutal. The brothers all need time to recover."
Prozhou nodded, but didn't say much. He stood up, walked to the map, and carefully studied the enemy's possible next move. "The Totem Army suffered heavy losses, but they will not give up easily. Their secret weapon - those monsters, they definitely did not appear by chance. They must have a backup plan."
Fan Bosong frowned and said, "I also find it strange. Why do they suddenly have such powerful monsters? These creatures obviously do not belong to this continent."
Prozhou pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Perhaps, this is related to the Blade of the Sky. According to legend, this artifact once controlled the order of the entire world. If it is really broken into countless pieces, then each piece may cause unexpected changes."
"You mean, these monsters were born from the power of the artifact fragments?" Fan Bosong looked at Prozhou in shock. "If that's the case, then the enemy we are facing is far more terrifying than we imagined."
Prozhou sighed and turned to look out the window. The rain had subsided, but the sky was still gloomy. He whispered, "Whatever the truth is, we must be prepared. The days ahead will only get harder and harder."

At the same time, in the Totem Army's base camp, a man in golden armor was standing quietly beside the altar. His face was covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. At his feet, lay a destroyed body of a monster, the core of which was slowly releasing rich energy.
"Master, this failure is a big blow to us. Prozhou has already mastered the power of the Sky Blade. If this continues, we may lose our advantage." A warlock in a black robe reported in a low voice.
The man in golden armor smiled coldly, raised his hand, and a black light shot out from his palm, hitting the core of the monster's corpse. Suddenly, the core began to vibrate violently, and finally turned into a ball of energy and disappeared into the air.
"The Sky Blade is indeed powerful, but do you think you can defeat me with just that?" The man in golden armor said in a low and threatening voice, "You underestimate our plan. This is just an appetizer. The real killer move is still to come."
Upon hearing this, the sorcerer was shocked and quickly bowed his head and replied, "Yes, I understand."
The man in golden armor turned around and strode out. His back looked particularly aloof, as if nothing in the world could stop him. "Notify all departments to immediately start the second phase of the plan. I want to let Prozhou know what true despair is!"
***
The next morning, the sun finally broke through the thick clouds and shone on the earth. Prozhou led the remaining troops to clean up the battlefield and held a brief funeral for the fallen soldiers. Seeing young lives perished one by one, his heart was filled with grief and self-blame.
"Sir, this is the report you asked for." An adjutant walked over quickly and handed a scroll to Prozhou.
Prozhou unfolded the scroll and quickly read through the contents. His brows furrowed more and more, and finally he threw the scroll to the ground. "Damn it! The Totem Army has begun to mobilize new forces, and they are heading straight for our granary!"
Zhao Xiaowan heard the noise and rushed over immediately. "How serious is the situation?"
Prozhou gritted his teeth and said, "It's very serious. If we can't stop them in time, even if we win today's battle, we will be wiped out due to lack of food!"
Zhao Xiaowan thought for a moment and suggested, "We can send an elite team to sneak behind the enemy lines in advance and destroy their supply lines. At the same time, the main force will quickly move to the vicinity of the granary to deploy defenses."
Prozhou nodded in agreement and immediately ordered all available soldiers to be summoned. "Fan Bosong, you will be responsible for selecting the elite team and make sure they complete the mission. Zhao Xiaowan, you will assist me in commanding the main force and ensure the safety of the granary."
The two men took the order and went about their business. Prozhou stood on a high place, overlooking the movement of the entire army. He knew that this might be the last chance. If it failed, the Shang Kingdom would be in an irreparable situation.
***
A few days later, the vanguard of the Totem Army appeared near the granary. They were numerous and brought a large number of magical beasts to help them. Prozhou had already been fully prepared and personally led the main force to fight the enemy.
The battle broke out again, and both sides fought back and forth, neither side giving in. Purozhou rushed to the front line holding a spear that combined the power of the Sky Blade. Each of his strikes was incredibly powerful, directly tearing through the enemy's defenses. However, the Totem Army's monsters were extremely tenacious, and even after being fatally injured, they were still able to continue fighting.
Just as Prozhou was struggling to hold on, a loud noise was heard in the distance. It was Fan Bosong's team that successfully attacked the enemy's supply line and blew up a large amount of supplies. The morale of the Totem Army was greatly dampened, and the offensive was significantly weakened.
"Now is the time! Everyone charge!" Prozhou roared and rushed to the center of the enemy camp. Under his leadership, the morale of the Shang army was high and they defeated the main force of the Totem Army in one fell swoop.
***
After the battle, Prozhou collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. He raised his head and looked at the rising sun in the sky, with a glimmer of determination in his eyes. "This is far from over. But I believe that as long as we unite as one, nothing is impossible!"
