Sure, here’s the translation of the provided Chinese text:

”Wha-what... what is happening?!”

Demon Clan’s General Yang Mu, attacking Liang City, looked at the area outside the city, where a massive wave of West State Army was charging from over ten miles away. His whole face trembled with fear!

How did this happen!

West State’s army arrived so quickly? This is close to the border! How is this possible!

Did West State’s army grow wings?

Yang Mu watched the charging forces on the ground and the flying beast brigade in the sky coming like a tide and felt his heart sink abruptly.

Judging by the stance, West State Army has at least forty to fifty thousand troops!

Moreover, they came prepared, ready and relaxed!

On our side, we have just gone through extremely intense battles, haven’t had time to rest, and our soldiers are exhausted, there’s no way they can engage in another fierce battle.

What’s more, Liang City just fell, and during our attack, all the various defense tools and city walls were demolished.

That is to say, now to resist Zhao Lanjin’s West State Army, we cannot rely on defense structures, only direct confrontation!

How to confront directly?

We are fewer in number, weak in combat strength, and without rest...

”Gather the troops, General Mulin to cover the retreat, everyone else, follow me, retreat west, leave Liang City, and return to Demon Clan’s domain!”

Yang Mu was helpless and could only order the troops to retreat, preserving strength.

This was the most wise decision he made at this moment.

”Liang City is only over eighty kilometers from Demon Clan’s border, let’s hurry back to Demon Clan’s territory. As long as we’re there, West State Army won’t dare pursue, and we can preserve strength!”

Yang Mu told his commanders as he led the troops in abandoning the city and fleeing.

The entire Liang City was taken by Zhao Lanjin without difficulty.

After capturing it, Zhao Lanjin left thirty thousand to guard Liang City and personally led the fastest pursuing flying beast cavalry unit, pursuing Demon Clan soldiers all the way to the border, killing them so fiercely that the Demon Clan soldiers discarded their armor, reducing in number from over forty thousand to around twenty thousand.

Standing at the border, Zhao Lanjin hesitated.

According to the Tianyuan Dynasty’s laws, if the border invades enemy territory, it’s necessary to report to the Imperial City in advance; otherwise, it’s considered unauthorized military action, punishable by death.

Earlier, Zhao Lanjin did not receive orders from Qin Tian to continue attacking the Demon Clan; his task was to take down Liang City.

”Assemble the troops, prepare to withdraw.”

After hesitating slightly, Zhao Lanjin looked at the scattered remnants resting a few kilometers away in Demon Clan territory, ultimately choosing not to cross the border to pursue.

”Hahaha, come on, come on, dare you cross the border!”

”You West State soldiers wait, we will be back!”

”Cowards, we invade you anytime, haha, you dare not cross the border, Tianyuan Dynasty people are all useless!”

Just as Zhao Lanjin was about to withdraw, taunting voices suddenly rang out wildly across the hills from the Demon Clan soldiers opposite.

Zhao Lanjin’s face changed, and he was furious.

This rule of Tianyuan Dynasty is obsolete and infuriating.

But now, even facing his defeated foes’ provocations, Zhao Lanjin couldn’t act recklessly due to the constraints of this law.

Demon Clan’s General Yang Mu saw Zhao Lanjin’s situation from afar, slightly relaxed his brows, and said, ”Tell the subordinates to continue mocking, huh, I’m full of anger today, and the big guys must be too, with nowhere to vent, so let’s curse them hard!”

The Deputy General worriedly said, ”General, what if they cross the border and attack?”

Yang Mu replied, ”Let them try? I noticed Zhao Lanjin pursued us with only over ten thousand, if he dares cross the border to fight us, we might not lose.”

”On our territory, would I fear him?”

Yang Mu was smug, because he already received intelligence that the Demon Clan’s fifty thousand reinforcements from the rear had arrived; if he could stall Zhao Lanjin for two to three hours here, once the Demon Clan reinforcements arrived, it would be their time for counterattack!

Moreover, Yang Mu knew West State’s Qin Marquis was at odds with the Imperial City; if he arrogantly crosses the border to fight Demon Clan, nobles in contact with the Imperial City from Demon Clan can seize the opportunity to pressure and use Zhao Lanjin’s defeat to punish him, killing two birds with one stone!

So now, Yang Mu’s aim was to stall Zhao Lanjin; whether Zhao Lanjin crossed the border, the results remain the same, they would win big.

”Come on, come fight me!”

”Hahaha, aren’t you experts in pursuit, come chase me, come over!”

”Wimps!”

...

Demon Clan soldiers began to openly curse Zhao Lanjin’s soldiers, Zhao Lanjin was extremely angry, as were his deputy generals.

One of the Deputy Generals said, ”General, let’s not stop here, retreat, if we don’t leave now, I fear I won’t be able to hold back and rush over.”

Deputy Generals naturally knew the laws of Tianyuan Dynasty so, like Zhao Lanjin, they were also resentful.

”Damn it, just wait!”

Zhao Lanjin cursed aloud, turned, and waved his hand: ”Withdraw.”

Whoosh!

Just as Zhao Lanjin prepared to leap onto the flying beast, he saw dozens of figures swiftly rushing towards them from behind!

At first, Zhao Lanjin was stunned, then a Deputy General shouted, ”It’s Qin Marquis! Qin Marquis is here!”

Zhao Lanjin concentrated and saw among those dozens of people, one carrying a large flag embroidered with a fiery red ”Qin” character!

It’s the flag of Qin Family Army!

Zhao Lanjin was amazed and said, ”Qin Family Army was just established, only eighty people, Qin Marquis is deploying them to battle already!?”

Over eighty figures led by Qin Tian and Duan Xiaodao came from afar, then, soared over Zhao Lanjin’s troops and headed directly to Demon Clan territory!

”Qin Marquis, you cannot cross the border! The dynasty has laws!”

Seeing Qin Tian leading his men about to cross the border, Zhao Lanjin shouted loudly.

In the sky, everyone’s speed didn’t decrease; his voice, infused with True Qi, echoed, ”My Qin Family Army has no forbidden land. We slay gods if gods block us, destroy Buddha if Buddha blocks us!”

Boom!

As Qin Tian’s words echoed, those more than eighty figures already crossed the border, with a burst of True Qi light, they charged at those Demon Clan soldiers who had mocked earlier!

”Qin Marquis is indeed Qin Marquis, what boldness!”

Seeing Qin Tian rush recklessly with Qin Family Army, Zhao Lanjin, who had been holding his anger, was now filled with killing intent, leapt onto a flying beast, and shouted, ”Brothers, cross the border! Attack!”
