Jin Luosha's plan involved her and Chen Xuanfeng secretly entering the human world, finding an opportunity to eliminate the "White Night Knight," and then using the "Original Sin Seal" to locate the "Holy Lance Quenelion."

Naturally, this plan was hastily devised by Crystal Dragon Knight Lijia to resolve her master's emotional issues. It had many flaws, and both its feasibility and necessity were questionable. For instance, there was no need to rush to seize the "Saint Crest" at this moment. If they waited until Chen Xuanfeng became a Sword Saint, together with the other two "Emperor Martials" of the orc race, Samantha and Katherine, they would have enough power to sweep through the human "Holy Domain," making it much easier to achieve their goal.

While Chen Xuanfeng didn’t know all the details, he understood the stakes well enough. Not wanting to disappoint Jin Luosha, and considering the current situation, he had also been contemplating re-entering the human world for other reasons. The relevant risks and benefits had already been discussed within the advisory group in Fountainebleau. Even with Jin Luosha's plan, it might not prove troublesome and could even be beneficial. Therefore, the silver-haired werewolf agreed to the girl's request without much hesitation.

Thus, their journey was about to begin anew.

Of course, this trip had other, more important objectives.

Chen Xuanfeng's plan to re-enter the human world was also forced by the circumstances.

Three years after the great war, though the orcs emerged victorious, their military losses were significant. Nearly 500,000 orc soldiers perished. While a large number of human residents in the vast occupied areas fled south, 70 to 80 million still remained, four times the total orc population. Therefore, the orc army not only had to defend multiple human counterattack fronts but also needed to station heavy troops to suppress resistance forces in the occupied areas, stretching their military resources thin. As a result, despite having two "Emperor Martial" level experts equivalent to the "Dragon Saint," as well as Chen Xuanfeng and Zha, both at the "Flame Saint" level, the orcs had not been able to expand their territory further. Instead, they were strained on certain battlefronts.

After three years of recovery and rebuilding, the orcs' innate talent for combat began to show results again. The new generation of warriors from the five major combat races had fully matured, and many subordinate races had also produced a large number of powerful soldiers who had mastered battle qi thanks to the external martial arts provided by Chen Xuanfeng. The overall combat power now surpassed that of previous years. With Samantha re-elected as the Orc King, there was a plan to destroy the human front lines in the southwest at Saint Spirit Mountain and the southeast at the Fasin Kingdom, completely driving human forces out of the western continent, giving the orcs a threat-free environment to recuperate.

However, the situation did not develop as the Orc King had anticipated.

Recent intelligence indicated that after three years of reorganization and mobilization, humans had also accumulated greater strength. Especially after the Pope's persuasion, the Desert Mercenary Empire, the Southern 16 Kingdoms Alliance, the Eastern Yellow Dragon Empire, and the Tiele Empire had all signed treaties, vowing to work together against the orc threat. Currently, except for the commercial alliance headquartered at the southern end of the continent, which had a vague stance due to profitable trade with the orcs, all other human powers had reached a tacit agreement. Furthermore, six "Saint Crest Knights" had appeared, and the blood elves, with over 10,000 elven mages, had clearly aligned themselves with the humans. If the entire continent's hundreds of millions of humans were fully mobilized, the orcs would be in significant danger.

This development caught the Orc Alliance off guard. Previously, the Orc Alliance had spent enormous efforts to sow discord among the human empires and emphasized that the orcs' ambition was only in the western continent, with intelligence reports showing fairly ideal results. However, things changed overnight, and humans had secretly formed alliances without the orcs noticing, which caused considerable headaches for the orc generals and leaders.

Throughout its ten-thousand-year history, the Orc Alliance had occasionally produced a few genius generals, despite most of its people being simple-minded. The war temple was filled with countless military books and battle cases accumulated over the millennia, providing various methods to deal with the current situation. However, the most effective but also the most difficult strategy, in terms of Chen Xuanfeng's previous life's Huaxia wisdom, would be "alliances through horizontal and vertical cooperation."

For 400 years, the Xinghai Continent had been controlled by humans, but there were also numerous powerful indigenous races. The "Orc Alliance," "Elven Kingdom," "Underworld," and "Mermaid Empire" were equally renowned for their formidable strength. Although they had their own fears and had not been able to counterattack, they were capable of resisting human advances.

The "Underworld" referred to the vast network of caves beneath the continent, inhabited by dark elves, black dragons, minotaurs, and other formidable alien creatures. The complex terrain was sufficient to annihilate any enemy within, and even the hell army of the "Great Demon King" Bato had suffered defeats there. Although the Twelve Sages possessed supreme forbidden spells, they feared the collapse of the entire underworld would cause the surface world to collapse as well, so they never dared to act. However, the racial composition of the underworld was complicated, with intersecting powers and no unified government. Moreover, most underworld creatures were sensitive to sunlight, making it impossible to expect them to send troops to contain humans.

The "Mermaid Empire," located in the "Endless Ocean" southeast of the continent, was a mermaid nation. The vast ocean provided them with abundant resources, and their population was quite substantial. If including other aquatic intelligent races under mermaid rule, the total population was nearly comparable to that of humans. Additionally, they were protected by the nine-headed hydra, a force comparable to dragons. Countries in the eastern and southern parts of the continent had to pay tolls to safely cross the Endless Ocean. However, similar to the "Underworld," most of the mermaid subjects lacked the ability to live on land and did not lack living space, making them unlikely allies for the orcs.

The only ones capable of countering humans were the "elves," who had once been the orcs' greatest enemies, with both sides having fought for dominance for millions of years. These beings, described as the "most perfect creations of the gods," were natural archers and mages. One in ten elves could become a high-level mage, whereas only about 10,000 official mages existed among the human population of 500 million, with fewer than 1,000 high-level mages and less than 100 who could wield tenth-level spells. In contrast, just the 100,000-strong blood elf clan had an equivalent number of mages. Although the elves were deeply divided, even excluding the ambiguous dark elves, the blood elves who sided with humans, and the wood elves and moon elves who remained neutral, the 800,000 high elves living on the southern islands alone had enough power to terrify humans. If each high elf threw a fireball, 800,000 fireballs could level a large city. Therefore, it was not unwarranted for humans to assign three of their five forbidden spell casters to contain the elves.
