Here’s the translation of the Traditional Chinese content into English:

Long Haochen’s elite vanguard army numbered only a little over fourteen thousand. That’s right, just over fourteen thousand. Because he only brought the full complement of professionals from the First and Second Legions, without any ordinary soldiers.

The personnel composition of the Union’s First and Second Legions was the same: four thousand warriors, one thousand knights, and five hundred each of assassins, mages, summoners, and priests. Each legion, with the addition of over forty thousand soldiers of various types, formed a complete legion of fifty thousand.

As the vanguard for operations deep within demon territory, ordinary soldiers were of far less use. Moreover, they would significantly impact the speed of the entire force. Therefore, the true participants in this operation were only those fourteen thousand-plus professionals from the Six Great Temples. These professionals were all equipped with mounts, regardless of their profession.

Few mages, summoners, and priests were experienced riders, but they were professionals after all, with physical qualities far exceeding ordinary people. With a little adaptation, they could ride well enough.

Initially, because these were the first legions formed after the establishment of the New Union, the Six Great Temples selected only elites when forming them. These included some members of the Glorious Angel Knight Order that Long Haochen had seen before.

The warriors’ cultivation levels were all at the fourth rank or higher, and the powerhouses of the other five great temples were all at the sixth rank or higher. Although the total number was only a little over ten thousand, with warriors accounting for most, these were all the elite of the elite from the Six Great Temples.

As night fell, the army departed from behind the Yulong Pass, made a wide circle, and slowly approached the demon army’s camp from a southern angle.

The role of the strong in war was fully displayed at this moment. Over fourteen thousand people, all riding mounts, covered a considerable area. However, Long Haochen alone, relying on his powerful spiritual force, enveloped them all. No detection magic could detect any movement under the interference of his spiritual force, unless the caster of that detection magic surpassed Long Haochen in terms of spiritual power.

Xiao Huo followed beside Long Haochen, also riding a tall horse, while Long Haochen rode the Sacred Unicorn, Star King. To Long Haochen’s left was Cai’er, and behind him was Ya Ting. To conceal the dense spiritual fluctuations of the Elf King of Light, Ya Ting had to wear a magic robe that could cover her elemental aura.

She was different from Long Haochen. Her own light element was not only pure, but she was also a spirit closely connected to nature, naturally more favored by the light element. Therefore, her body would automatically emit a soft golden light at all times, which even she couldn’t control, unless she was in an environment completely devoid of light elements. Otherwise, Ya Ting was a perpetually glowing entity.

The others of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad were also nearby, each accompanied by an Eternal Hero.

Undoubtedly, vision and cultivation were directly proportional. All the Eternal Heroes who selected the members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad as inheritors were at least Ninth Rank, Fifth Grade or higher.

At this time, the happiest was Lin Xin. Because beside him was a female knight riding a rose unicorn, looking valiant and heroic.

When the Union’s First and Second Legions were formed, Li Xin was dispatched there by the Knight Temple. This time, when the two legions went to the front lines, she naturally came along. Li Xin was only about thirty years old this year, and looked even younger, like she was in her early twenties. Naturally, she was also a popular choice among the Eternal Heroes, and the one who chose her was also a female knight. She was riding alongside her at this moment, occasionally joking with Li Xin. If one didn’t know beforehand, they would never guess that she was a necromantic knight.

After the return of the Eternal Heroes, Long Haochen increasingly admired these ancestors. All the problems the Union Council worried about never occurred. Because the Eternal Heroes proposed to pass on their unique skills and selected inheritors in the Six Great Temples, they instantly closed the distance with the Six Great Temples. Coupled with their strength, they were divided among the other five great temples. Not only could they certainly select inheritors after the Six Great Temples uniformly allocated manpower, but they also greatly welcomed by all the high-level officials of the Six Great Temples, and treated as honored guests.

No single temple could gather nine powerhouses above the Ninth Rank, Third Grade! Having these ancestors in charge was like giving them a reassuring pill. The Eternal Heroes also perfectly integrated into the system of the Temple Union.

“Cai’er,” Shu Yongxiao said to Cai’er beside her.

“Sister Shu,” Cai’er looked at her with a smile. Compared to Long Haochen, Cai’er wasn’t as restrained and respectful in front of these ancestors. Instead, she was more natural. Besides the color of her eyes and the aura on her body, Shu Yongxiao was a stunning beauty. Although the purification power within Cai’er would occasionally surge due to sensing the necromantic aura around her, her cultivation had greatly improved after drastically improving in the world of black and red, and now she had considerable control over her own abilities. Xiao Huo had taught Long Haochen the ability to control the domain for his own use, and Shu Yongxiao had also taught it to her. In terms of attacking, she was even more skilled than Long Haochen.

“Later, after the battle begins, you will follow behind me, be my shadow. You don’t need to attack, you just need to pay attention to the process when I attack.” Shu Yongxiao’s voice was very gentle when speaking to Cai’er, and even the other Eternal Heroes were a little unaccustomed to it. Knowing their familiarity with this first Temple Master of the Assassin Temple, they all understood in their hearts that Shu Yongxiao loved Cai’er dearly.

“Okay,” Cai’er immediately agreed readily. She could, of course, feel Shu Yongxiao’s affection for her, and she also liked this ancestor, Sister Shu. Although they had only been in contact for seven or eight days, Shu Yongxiao had already taught her many useful things, further enhancing Cai’er’s combat power.

They were getting closer and closer to the demon camp. Long Haochen raised his hand, signaling the entire army to stop.

“Pass on my order, everyone dismount, leave five hundred warriors here to guard the horses. The rest of you maintain formation and follow me to attack.”

As expected of professionals, Long Haochen’s order was quickly conveyed throughout the army. Except for the knights, all the other professions dismounted silently. The horses remained in place, without making any extra noise. Apart from the knights, the other professions were not good at mounted combat. Horses were only used to travel, and they were more familiar with fighting on foot in actual combat.

Two thousand knights were in the front, with priests behind them, and mages and summoners in slightly more rear positions. The left, right, and rear three directions were all surrounded by warriors. Assassins roamed outside, maintaining a perfect formation and moving forward slowly.

Long Haochen specifically left Han Yu behind, not to guard the horses, but to use the evil eye tyrant’s spiritual force to interfere with the demon’s detection magic and prevent the horses and the warriors left behind from being exposed. At the same time, with Han Yu staying here, he could also avoid accidents from happening.

The demon army stationed outside Yulong Pass has always exceeded two hundred thousand, and at the time of the Holy War five years ago, it once reached a million. But because the environment here is harsh, only high-level demons were left to fight later, and low-level demons found it difficult to survive here.

Therefore, the demon guards outside Yulong Pass can be said to be the strongest outside all six major fortresses. All are demons above the fourth rank.

This shows how powerful the demons are. Two hundred thousand powerhouses above the fourth rank, and the entire Temple Federation can only gather such a number. This is also an important reason why the Temple Federation has always feared fighting the demons head-on.

However, with the addition of the Eternal Heroes, the Temple Federation is no longer inferior to the demons in terms of high-level strength. This time, they are also calculating against the unprepared, and are led by top powerhouses such as Long Haochen. They have the confidence to target a demon army of more than two hundred thousand with a force of more than ten thousand.

They were getting closer and closer to the demon guards. From a distance, they could already see the demon army’s tents.

They couldn’t get any closer. Although the weather here at Yulong Pass was severely cold and the visibility at night was very poor, if they continued to move forward, the demon’s watchtowers would be able to see them approaching with the naked eye.

Long Haochen said in a low voice: “Stop advancing, order all personnel to prepare for battle. Lin Xin.”

“Boss,” Lin Xin quickly came to Long Haochen’s side.

Long Haochen asked: “With the overall strength of our mages, how much closer do we need to get before we can exert our combat power?”

Lin Xin immediately replied: “We are about eight miles away from the demons here. We must get within three miles for the mages’ ranged magic to work. If we want to produce the greatest killing effect, then we must get within one mile.”

Long Haochen nodded and said, “Okay. I know. Everyone, come over here for a moment.”

The members of the Dawn of Light Hunter Squad were the commanders of this vanguard army, in charge of the army of each profession according to their professions. They quickly came to Long Haochen’s side and gathered. Of course, all eighteen Eternal Heroes also gathered.

Long Haochen lowered his voice and said: “The enemy army is about two hundred thousand or more. According to the news explored by Yulong Pass, there is currently only one demon god stationed in the enemy army, the twentieth pillar demon god, Busong. Being able to enter the top twenty, his cultivation must be not low, and his demon god pillar is also here. Originally, there were three demon gods guarding here. According to our information, besides Busong remaining, the other two have been transferred back to the demon capital.”

The Eternal Heroes did not participate in any opinions. As early as when they came to Yulong Pass, Shu Yongxiao and Xiao Huo stated that in the war with the demons, they would not participate in any command opinions. They would completely listen to the deployment. They would only be responsible for fighting.

Their decision was undoubtedly the most wise, because after all, they had been asleep for thousands of years and did not understand the situation of the outside world. The current war between humans and demons certainly cannot be faced in the same way as thousands of years ago. And they were so high in seniority, if they really wanted to participate in command opinions, who would dare not listen to them?
