The war resumed, and the Luo Ze Empire shifted from offense to defense.
Due to the emergence of special subhuman troops and changes in the beastman army's tactics, Luo Ze Empire lost several cities in succession.
Fortunately, the lost cities were mostly located on the empire's periphery.
After the setback in autumn, Luo Ze Empire relocated most civilians from border areas to the inland, keeping the vast majority of civilians safe and temporarily out of the war's grasp.
Initially, due to morale, military strength, and other factors, Luo Ze Empire faced defeats after defeats, but once the king decided to publicly reveal the prophecy's translation, Luo Ze soldiers rekindled their fighting spirit.
They could no longer afford another loss, for if they lost again, the beastmen would advance deeper into the nation's heartland.
They didn't know what brutal acts the bloodthirsty beastmen might commit on their land.
