Yan Xing had limited time to decide.
After careful consideration, Yan Xing could only abandon the plan to attack Highland City. Highland City boasted an elite force of 150,000 from the Cloud Coalition, a complete defense system, and two experienced war commanders, Anderson and Old Moam, overseeing it. With the Eternal Domain's military strength, facing such a formidable defensive formation, it would be difficult to replicate the swift annihilation achieved in the battle for Outpost Fort. Meanwhile, the main force of the Elven border army, embroiled in a bitter struggle, was on the brink of collapse.
The most pragmatic approach was to sacrifice a pawn to save the king. Only by ensuring Snowland remained secure could they guarantee that this resource area, developed by the Eternal Domain, would continue to supply raw materials for large-scale production.
