He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and went over the arrangements for tomorrow in his mind.

With eight thousand Great Qin Elite Soldiers, plus six Third Rankers, and in coordination with the allied forces of various countries, the key to winning this battle did not lie in troop numbers.

It lay in whether they could utilize the support of the Ten-Thousand Man Army Array to crush the main undead force that day. Once the main force was broken, the rest would just be cleaning up the aftermath.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly stirred: tomorrow night, the Eye of Probability would refresh.

Exactly thirty days had passed since the last use, and the probability pool had accumulated one hundred points, just enough to boost the acquisition probability of an item to one hundred percent.

Now there were two choices before him: the Silver Dragon Egg, or an advanced Class Change Book.

The Silver Dragon Egg was a necessity for upgrading a territory to city-level, while the advanced Class Change Book concerned his Third Rank and the normalized use of Destiny Awakening.

In the past, both were important, and it was hard to choose. But the situation was different now; the allied forces ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ of the South Pole Region were in a stalemate with the undead at Thang Long City, the orc southward invasion was imminent, and the Kangaroo Country side could not hold on for much longer.

He needed to improve his personal strength as quickly as possible to ensure he had absolute initiative in the upcoming great battle.

The Territory Guardian Beast could be obtained later; if he missed the Silver Dragon Egg, perhaps there would be a Golden Dragon Egg.

But the advanced Class Change Book concerned his Third Rank and whether Destiny Awakening could be used normally.

As long as he reached the Third Rank, he could use the Heavenly Destiny Beacon Fire without restriction within six miles of Hangu Pass, and even outside the pass, he could use it for twenty minutes every month.

Twenty minutes of the Heavenly Destiny Beacon Fire was enough to change the course of a battle.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, his gaze landing on the wooden beams of the ceiling.

As long as the allied forces of the South Pole Region could hold on for another thirty days—no, even if they only held on for twenty days.

He would be able to utilize the 10% all-attribute boost from the golden potion, the dragon blood celestial brew, combined with the wonder, to easily satisfy the 500% boost condition required for Destiny Awakening.

Even if the allied forces couldn't hold on for twenty days, he could give up on the Silver Dragon Egg and prioritize obtaining the advanced Class Change Book.

Regardless of the situation, the initiative was already in his own hands.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt much more relaxed.

There was one more thing: Hangu Pass could have its position adjusted at dawn tomorrow.

He had originally wanted to build Hangu Pass next to Zhenyue City, forming a pincer formation with Zhenyue City.

But at that time, the Great Wall could only be built within his own territory, and the territory could only be expanded bit by bit through annexed territories, so he could only place Hangu Pass in its current position first.

But now it was different; two counties of the Tieba Kingdom had annexed, four counties of the Annan Country had annexed, and coupled with all territories in the Great Xia South Pole Region except for Zhenyue City having annexed, the sphere of influence of the Beacon Fire Territory had already extended to the doorstep of Zhenyue City.

At dawn tomorrow, he could adjust Hangu Pass to the vicinity of Zhenyue City.

In this way, not only would it be closer to the allied forces' camp, but it could also set off together with Zhenyue City towards Thang Long City.

Lin Feng withdrew his thoughts, picked up the next document from the table, and continued to review it.

One after another, he reviewed them quickly, but he read each one very carefully.

...

At 11:59 PM, the four gates of Hangu Pass had all been closed, and most of the lights inside the pass had been extinguished.

Only the torches on the city walls and the arrow towers were still lit, outlining the silhouette of the pass city clearly.

The figures of patrolling soldiers moved between the crenellations, their footsteps swallowed by the wind.

Lin Feng stood in front of the window on the second floor of the Council Hall, gazing at the pitch-black night sky outside the window.

The territory core floated beside him, its golden light illuminating his face in a mix of light and shadow.

He glanced at the system time: Nightmare Time, midnight, sharp.

He reached out and pressed his hand onto the territory core.

With a slight movement of his mind, the operation interface of the Great Wall unfolded before his eyes.

A holographic map floated in mid-air, with Hangu Pass located due north of Lucky Town, like a lone chess piece hanging outside.

He reached out his finger, held down the icon of Hangu Pass, and slowly dragged it towards the northwest. The phantom image of the city wall on the map moved with his finger, like a ribbon being pulled.

Zhenyue City grew closer and closer in his field of vision. He continued to drag until a system prompt popped up.

【The distance between Hangu Pass and Zhenyue City is too close; the minimum distance is ten miles.】

Lin Feng stopped Hangu Pass ten miles due south of Zhenyue City. He then adjusted the coverage range of the Great Wall, framing the new position of Hangu Pass along with a large area around it into the embrace of the Great Wall.

The phantom image of the city wall on the map slowly extended, tightly wrapping around the newly positioned Hangu Pass.

The west gate of Hangu Pass was exposed, while the other three sides were surrounded by the Great Wall.

【Great Wall has been adjusted. New position of Hangu Pass: ten miles due south of Zhenyue City. Consumed Stone × 4000, Wood × 1000, Iron Ingot × 1000. Resources have been deducted.】

Lin Feng withdrew his hand, and the holographic map slowly dissipated. Hangu Pass flashed with golden light, soft and gentle, like moonlight spilling onto a lake.

The golden light seeped out from every brick of the city wall, from every street, and from every building, enveloping the entire pass city in a warm halo.

The golden light lasted for about three breaths, then slowly receded.

Hangu Pass disappeared from its original location, along with the city walls, arrow towers, barracks, warehouses, residential areas, and the Council Hall, appearing ten miles due south of Zhenyue City.

Lin Feng flew out of the window, hovering at a height of one hundred meters, looking down at Hangu Pass beneath his feet.

The city wall was still forty meters high, the wall bricks were still cyan-gray, the city gate was still purple, and the two large characters "Hangu" shimmered with a dark golden luster under the moonlight.

Everything remained unchanged; only the location had changed.

Now, if the alien army wanted to attack Hangu Pass, they would have to make a huge detour through the territory of the Annan Country and the Tieba Kingdom to arrive.

That road was long and arduous with many checkpoints; by the time they circled to the foot of Hangu Pass, it would be far too late.

Lin Feng chuckled softly, landed back in front of the second-floor window, and closed it. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He walked to the bedside, leaned the Wildfire Spear against the bedpost, and lay down.

He pulled the quilt up to cover his shoulders, and moonlight leaked in through the gap in the curtains, drawing a strip of silvery-white light on the floor.

In the distance, the silhouette of Zhenyue City was faintly visible under the moonlight, with torches blazing on the city walls.

The two territories, separated by no more than ten miles, were like two stars watching over each other.

Lin Feng closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually steadied.
