The warriors of the Northern Region and the Sun Ascension Empire had witnessed the battle god king of the Sky Origin Stage fighting with the Iron Guard many times in the Black Bear Valley. It was precisely because they knew very well that the War God King was still in Black Bear Valley. The army continued to push deeper, constantly narrowing the scope of the Iron Guards' galloping. In the end, they had trapped the War God in a small space.

It was useless to pretend to be someone from the northern region. The northern region and the Rising Sun Empire already knew that these people dressed in the northern region's light cavalry uniform were actually the Iron Guards of the War God King.

Using battle to nurture a battle was also Feng Qingxiao's choice. It was his only choice.

From the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire, he had to pay the price for his supplies. There were too few 2000 people. The few that entered the dense forest among the mountains quickly disappeared without a trace. Their mobility was very good. However, against the strong soldiers of the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire, every Iron Guard that was lost would lose a portion of their combat strength. There was no reinforcements, no food, only endless consumption.

Soldiers die in battle, horses die, weapons are damaged...

This huge meat grinder did not just entangle Feng Qingxiao's Iron Guard, it also entangled the warriors of the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire.

In order to avoid being ambushed by Feng Qingxiao, there was no small force. In the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire, each squadron had at least five thousand soldiers, which slowly advanced into the Black Bear Valley.

Countless passersby trampled the silent ravine. Even the normally arrogant and domineering Black Bear was frightened by this scene and hid himself in the deepest part of the valley's dense forest, not daring to show his face. In the rugged mountains and lofty ridges, countless small paths were also stepped on.

"Reporting, the Scissor Ridge has been sealed."

"Reporting, Green Stone Valley has been sealed."

The bad news was brought back by the scouts one by one. The paths leading from Black Bear Valley to the outside were sealed.

As the two hundred thousand strong army continued to advance, the range of the Iron Guard's activities became smaller and smaller. Because the enemy no longer had a small force, they could no longer annihilate the enemy and seize supplies as they had done in the past. It was the most suitable word to describe the current Iron Guard. During this period of time, the Iron Guards had lost quite a few people.

Breaking out of the encirclement was extremely uncertain at this moment. Even if they could desperately break through this layer of encirclement, who knew how many layers they would be surrounded. This huge encirclement of nearly two hundred thousand people was only a part of the heavy encirclement that was pushed into the Black Bear Ditch. If they were lucky, they would be able to break out of the Black Bear Gap and be welcomed by the great army stationed outside the Black Bear Gap.

In the face of such dire straits, the Iron Guards were not depressed nor did they despair. They looked at their War God King with determined eyes. Their resolute expression was the incomparable reverence and trust they had for their master.

Feng Qingxiao gazed into the distance. With her intelligence, she would definitely be able to break out of this encirclement.

After hearing some information about her from the captive's mouth, he pursed his lips and thought of how she had played with the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire. He could not help but chuckle.

When the Iron Guards heard their lord's laughter, their spirits were greatly shaken. At this time, they could still laugh, laughing so happily, but only their godlike lord in their hearts. However, this was the first time they had seen and heard their lord's laughter with their own eyes.

The immense pressure and fatigue completely vanished amidst Feng Qingxiao's laughter. The Iron Guards were all brimming with energy and vitality.

The messy traces of the horse's hooves led deep into a ravine. Because the ravine was winding and blocked their line of sight, they couldn't see very far. However, judging from the many messy marks on the ground, it could be determined that the War God King had brought the Iron Guard and retreated into this ravine. The Northern Region and the Sun Ascension Empire had finally arrived at the valley. Surrounded by steep cliffs and precipitous valleys, the Iron Guards who retreated into them, unless they had wings on their ribs, would never be able to escape.

The valley was narrow. After a discussion between the Northern Region and the Rising Sun Empire, they each sent out a team of people to chase after the deeper parts of the valley.

Although the two squads didn't have many troops, it was enough to deal with the few remaining Iron Guards.

The troops entered and disappeared from their sight. The exit of the valley was sealed off by the people of the Northern Region and the Sun Ascension Empire. In their eyes, this was the last moment of the War God King's desperate struggle. They were going to successfully kill the War God here. As long as the War God King died, this war would be over. The rich and prosperous Tianyuan Kingdom would be their net asset!

Even if the War God was able to break out of the ravine with a few veterans, they could only let out an unwilling sigh.

The generals of the northern region had even started to discuss the division of the northern border with the generals of the Rising Sun Empire. It was as if they already had the northern border in their hands.

"Do you smell anything?"

The general of the Sun Ascension Empire asked as he looked into the depths of the ravine. The general of the northern region shook his head, "Is there any smell?"

In an instant, their expressions changed. Not only did they see the black smoke rising into the sky, they also smelled the burnt and unpleasant smell that came from the wind.

"This is …"

Flames soared into the sky and smoke filled the air. A thick and pungent smell came along with the wind, growing stronger and stronger. The great army that choked the mouth of the valley began to cough, covering their mouths, noses, and eyes.

"Retreat."

The great army had no choice but to retreat, retreating towards the exit of the valley. But at this time, the surroundings suddenly lit up with countless flames, trapping the great army inside. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were filled with burning flames, along with a pungent, suffocating smell and smoke.

"Ah …"

Shouts, shouts, cries for help, and cries for help could be heard incessantly amidst the raging flames. The army ran in all directions, but there were flames everywhere. They ran crazily in the fire, trampling on each other, and many of them were not burnt to death, but were trampled on by their companions, or were trampled by horses' hooves until they could never get up. After that, even more feet and hooves passed over their seriously injured bodies. They could only let out pained and desperate sounds.

"Fire, what a disaster! They're dead, all dead!"

A few people who were completely black, like charcoal, ran out crazily while shouting. They were like madmen, constantly dancing and hysterical!

The troops in the distance had long seen the black smog rising from the sky. However, they did not know what had happened.

Countless warriors of the Northern Region and the Sun Ascension Empire fled from the ravine with all their might. It was a great mess.

This place was discovered not long ago by Feng Qingxiao and his Iron Guard. Surrounding the ravine, there would be some thick black liquid. It was very easy to start a fire, and once a fire broke out, it would be extremely difficult to extinguish. If it was just a fire, it would have been nothing, but after the fire, the smoke and the surrounding and pungent smell all had poison in them.

He used the special environment here to lure the enemy here and set up this death trap!
