At 2 a.m. three days later, Lin Feng was lying on a flat tiled surface on the roof of the council hall at Hangu Pass.

With his hands behind his head, left leg straight, right leg bent, and the Ravages Spear resting quietly beside him.

A night breeze blew in from the west, carrying the dampness of the grass on the Golden Ear Plain, causing the hem of his clothes to flutter slightly.

He looked up at the stars and yawned.

These three days have been too leisurely. All the affairs of the territory have been left to Li Yuan. With Zhao Hu, Meng Yi, and Jiang Zhaoyue keeping an eye on the army, each legion is training, resting, and rotating in an orderly manner. Everything is in good order.

He found that he didn't have to worry about anything; all he had to do each day was stroll around the city wall and greet the patrolling soldiers.

Then they either go back inside to read, or find a high rooftop to lie down and daydream.

Since his physical awakening, sleep has become optional for him.

I used to think that not sleeping would make me tired, but now I find that not sleeping doesn't really make me feel bad; in fact, it gives me a lot more time.

He developed a habit of lying on a rooftop whenever the night was quiet, looking at the sky, the moon, and the distant outline of the city wall.

With this thought in mind, he brought up the status panel of the Eye of Probability.

Golden numbers appeared before my eyes; there were still six days until the next full value accumulation.

By then, the Three Turns Book, the Silver Dragon Egg, and Fenghuo County will be upgraded to Fenghuo City, and all three things will be accomplished at once.

The Eye of Probability cools down three times faster in the Nightmare World than on Earth.

"If it weren't for this, I was already planning to go back to Earth and just lie around doing nothing. Anyway, I'd be lying around anyway, and eventually I'd become invincible."

He couldn't help but chuckle, and then softly hummed an unknown tune, its light melody drifting in the night breeze.

"That's a pretty nice hum." A cool voice came from the side.

He glanced to the side and saw that Jiang Yelan had somehow landed on the roof and was standing two steps away from him, his black leather armor almost blending into the night under the moonlight.

"Is everything on Earth settled?"

Lin Feng did not get up, remaining in a lying position, speaking casually as if he were talking about the weather.

Jiang Yelan nodded: "Last time I went back, I donated part of my monthly allowance to the orphanage and renovated the house."

I went back to check on things these past few days, and the renovations have been quite good. The food has also improved, and the kids have gained a lot of weight.

She paused, then added, "I spent a few more days with them this time."

Lin Feng laughed: "Sure, just let me know if you need money. Last time, Director Liu said that the General Administration gave my family a black card with unlimited credit."

Ye Lan shook her head: "That's enough. I have ten million credits every month now, which is too much. I don't even know how to spend it."

Lin Feng turned his head to look at her, the moonlight outlining the contours of her slender profile: "Alright, after a while, once we've cleared the Nightmare World, the core members of our territory will gather together on Blue Star."

Jiang Yelan turned her head and looked at him in the moonlight.

He remained lying there, his legs draped lazily, speaking as casually as if he were discussing what to eat tomorrow.

When he said "clear the Nightmare World", he didn't even have much of a tone, as if he were saying something that had already been decided.

She looked away, didn't reply, and simply sat down next to him.

The two stopped talking, and the night wind blew from the north, causing the torches on the distant city wall to sway slightly.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Zhaoyue and Lu Dingchuan fell directly from the sky and landed on the edge of the roof.

Both of them had solemn expressions. Jiang Zhaoyue carried her Silver Moon Spear on her back and walked quickly to Lin Feng, her voice urgent: "Lord Lin, there is an urgent military situation in Qiandai City."

Lin Feng's laziness vanished. He sat up, grabbed the Wildfire Spear, and stood up: "Let's go to the council hall."

The four jumped off the roof and landed at the entrance of the council hall, then pushed the door open and entered.

Lin Feng sat down in the main seat, leaned the Wildfire Spear against the side of the chair, and looked at Jiang Zhaoyue's face: "What happened in Qiandai City?"

Jiang Zhaoyue took a deep breath and spoke quickly: "Half an hour ago, the number of high-level orc combatants in Qiandai City suddenly increased by twenty-six, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. The powerful figures from various countries had no choice but to break through and head to Dongzhi City."

In desperation, the lord of Chiyo Castle unleashed his extraordinary ultimate technique, 'Wrath of the Sea God,' releasing a colossal tsunami shockwave five hundred meters wide and one thousand meters deep, sweeping fifty thousand orcs into the endless sea.

She paused, then continued, "But Chiyo Castle was still captured, and the entire Sakura Kingdom has been occupied by orcs. The Sakura Kingdom is now extinct."

The council chamber fell silent for a moment.

The candlelight flickered, stretching the shadows of the four people cast on the wall before receding.

Lin Feng was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "How many Tier 3 combatants does Dongzhi City have now? What is the situation of the main orc force?"

Jiang Zhaoyue had clearly prepared this data and answered in a steady tone: "In Dongzhi City, including the strongest in the three kingdoms, there are still five level 40 combatants, twenty non-flying third-tier combatants, and forty-two flying third-tier combatants, for a total of sixty-seven. There are also 50,000 special troops."

"On the orc side, there is one level 49 orc king, seven level 40 chieftains, seven orc prophets, twenty-five orc sword saints, nineteen orc warriors, and sixteen orc overseers, totaling seventy-five."

After the orc army and the detachment from the Sakura Kingdom joined forces, their total strength recovered to 250,000. After a short rest, the entire army marched towards Dongzhi City in Annam.

Dongzhi Castle is about 400 kilometers away from Chiyo Castle; the orc army should arrive in about two days.

Lin Feng tapped his fingers lightly twice on the armrest: "What are the attitudes of Russia, Annam, and the United States?"

“The three kingdoms have already requested support from the General Administration,” Jiang Zhaoyue replied. “Director Zhou is inclined to provide support, since the more territory the orcs conquer, the stronger they become.”

The best outcome would be to hold off the orc army at Dongzhi City; even if they couldn't, it would at least delay the orcs for some time.

Lin Feng nodded, then turned his gaze to Jiang Yelan on his left.

She sat there quietly, the Shadow Moon Blade resting beside her, its blade gleaming with a faint golden light in the candlelight.

Although her gaze was calm, her fingers gripping the knife hilt tightened slightly, as if she were eager to try.

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze: "Then City Lord Lu will lead the team, along with the two deputy city lords and two elders of Zhenyue City, plus Lord Jiang and Ye Lan. The seven of you will go to support Dongzhi City."

Lu Dingchuan stood up, his right fist pressed against his chest: "I obey."

Jiang Zhaoyue and Jiang Yelan also got up one after the other.

Lin Feng also stood up, his gaze sweeping over the three faces, his tone filled with concern: "Be careful, retreat if things go wrong."

The three exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

Jiang Zhaoyue's lips curved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Jiang Yelan nodded slightly, and the Shadow Moon Blade swayed gently at his waist.

Lin Feng sat down again, picked up the cup of tea on the table that had gone cold, and took a sip: "Let's leave it at that for now."

The three turned and walked out of the council hall, their footsteps fading into the distance on the stone steps. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The door closed behind them with a very soft sound.

Lin Feng sat down again, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and took a sip.

He leaned back in his chair, gazing at the overhead beam, and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the armrest. Six days. Just six more days.
