The night was desolate, the wind howled furiously, and cold light shone on the iron armor amidst the mottled tree shadows.
After the troops from the Ten Thousand Mountains set out from Jingguan City, they marched towards three different directions.
The Seventh Mountain was advancing towards Dingshan Pass, directly facing Youmen Pass,
The Eighth Mountain was advancing towards Muchuan Prefecture, on the west side of Youmen Pass,
There, two Deputy Commanders and several divisions of the Mountain-cutting Army held their positions, organizing the defense line to resist the frontal attack of the Devil Race.
Meanwhile, the Third Mountain and the Ninth Mountain, from the southeast, respectively passed through Guang'an Prefecture and Chishui Prefecture, heading towards Weiyuan Prefecture which had been breached and lost to the Devil Race, aiming to form a pincer attack.
