Everyone was surprised to see the sudden change in tides. No one was expecting one party to get the upper hand this quickly. With the death of the son of the White Dragon King and when Peak 5th-order cultivator Charles retreated back, the probability of the Southern Fire dragon winning this battle increased a lot. A Peak 5th-order cultivator alone was able to kill the remaining 5th-order cultivators from the Northern Frost Dragon Side.
"Your Royal Highness, you should rest and recover. I will take care of the little ants." By little ants, Kang was referring to the soldiers that the Northern Frost Dragon Empire had. Without their 5th-order cultivators, even millions of troops weren't a big deal in the eyes of a Peak 5th-order cultivator who was the strongest being in the whole continent.
Lucas nodded as he started flying down. His face was still pale and his mana was almost zero. After that fight with Charles, Lucas was also exhausted. Besides, with Kang personally dealing with the Northern Frost Dragon Empire's troops, Lucas won't have to do anything.
On the ground, the battle had reached its peak. Every second more than thousands of troops from both sides were dying from the cannon and arrows. On the front line, soldiers were fighting at the cost of their lives. Even the Peak 4th-order commanders from both sides struggled to dodge attacks and also fight the enemies. If they lost focus even for a second, the next second they could be hit by an arrow or cannonball.
Constant sounds of explosions were heard all over the battlefield. The sounds of the explosion were mixed with the cries of pain, excitement, anger, rage, frustration, and regret. From the top of the sky, it looked like thousands of ants were fighting each other.
After a certain point, some generals from the Southern fire Dragon Empire's side noticed that even though the enemy's number is 2.5 million and 4 hundred thousand higher than their number, the enemies' cannons are not as strong and advanced as the cannons of their side.
So as time passed, even with the higher number of troops, the Northern Frost Dragon Empire began to feel the pressure. The pressure only kept on increasing with each passing minute. After a certain point, more than 3,000 Northern Frost Dragon Empire's empire's troops were dying each second. Slowly but surely, the Northern Frost Dragon Empire troops were being pushed back while the troops from the southern fire Dragon Empire began bolder with their attacks.
Seeing this Aditya and others who were secretly keeping an eye on the battlefield sighed fully knowing that the winner of this battle has been decided.
Also at the same time, Kang appeared on top of the battlefield. At first, he did not do anything. He just stood there; 300 meters above the ground and started to observe the whole situation. In less than 5 seconds, Kang understood how things were progressing. Being a Peak 5th-order cultivator, Kang's mind worked at super speed. To him, a second felt like a minute. Even though the entire battlefield was very big, almost extended over 11 km. He was able to see and process every detail with a single glance. Cultivators like Kang already had transcended the limitations of the mortal body.
It was not just his mind that worked faster. His vision, his hearing, his sense of smell, his taste, everything was on a completely different level. Each time, his cultivation reached a new level, everything about his body and soul would only get more powerful. Through cultivation, he was upgrading himself.
He was pleased to see that the Southern Fire Dragon Empire's side was winning. "I can't let too many soldiers die here." Even if the Southern Fire Dragon Empire troops were pushing the enemy and slowly winning the battle, Kang knew that if too many troops died here, even the Southern Fire Dragon Empire will make a big loss. Being able to save the lives of their troops would give them an upper hand in the upcoming battles. The war with the Northern Frost Dragon Empire wasn't over yet.
Grabbing the purple sword from his waist, the Peak 5th-order cultivator vanished from the sky. Kang moved like a thunderbolt. No one was able to see him move. He was an unstoppable force that cannot be stopped or escaped.
Swoosh!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Before anything, Kang started by destroying the enemy's cannons and other types of siege weapons. He then went on to kill all the archers that the Northern Frost Dragon Empire had bought with them.
As this was happening, the nobles of the Northern Frost Dragon Empire and the people who secretly supported and wanted to see the Northern Frost Dragon Empire win had their faces go dark. The Prime Minister of the Northern Frost Dragon Empire barely controlled his urge to send more reinforcements. The only reason he stopped is because of the white dragon king who disliked people disobeying his orders. Once the White Dragon King had ordered something, that person would have to carry out the Dragon King's order. If that person did not listen to the White Dragon King's orders, that person would be personally punished by the White Dragon King.
Ewan Baker tightly clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh and his palms started to bleed. He gritted his teeth in anger. His entire face turned red as he watched the Northern Frost Dragon Empire's troops getting slaughtered by Peak 5th-order cultivator and Elder of the Southern Fire Dragon Empire, Kang.
"Why did this Majesty stop me from sending troops?" It really made Ewan Baker frustrated when the White Dragon King ordered him to not send any troops. Was his Majesty trying to lose this fight intentionally? What was his Majesty planning? Ewan Baker had no answer. Despite working under the White Dragon King for multiple centuries, to this day, the Dragon King remained a big box of mystery to the Prime Minister, Ewan Baker.
"Fortunately, we would be only losing somewhere around 1 million soldiers in this fight." Ewan tried to calm himself by saying these words. At the White Dragon King's request, the allied Empires sent a total of 1 million of their troops while rest 5 hundred thousand were rented for one month period.
There were some factions that exclusively sold soldiers and military supplies. Kingdoms, Empires, and Dynasties that usually go to war, sometimes may rent soldiers for a fixed price. But these soldiers are not loyal and would usually run away if they found their side losing the war.
"Let's see how much our Empire has lost in this fight?" While Ewan started counting, on the other side of the Southern region, the entire Southern Fire Empire was celebrating even though the battle was far from being over.

Kang moved throughout the battlefield like an invisible ghost that no one was able to see or feel. Whenever he passed by some enemy soldiers, a second later, those soldiers would fall to the ground with their heads being severed from their bodies. Kang targeted the 3rd-order and 4th-order cultivators at the beginning. As the number of 3rd-order and 4th-order cultivators began to decrease, he started killing any enemy soldier that he saw.
Seeing that the Southern Fire Dragon Empire won, right now, the Southern Fire Dragon Emperor, the Black Dragon had the brightest smile in the whole Dying Isle continent. Sitting on his throne, Brolbiner was laughing like a mad person. This was the first time, the royal officials, advisors, and nobles had seen their Emperor look this happy and laugh like this. It was as if Brolbiner was releasing all of his locked-up emotions.
To Brolbiner, today was a day of celebration. After 500 years of waiting and constant preparation, Brolbiner finally managed to defeat the Northern Frost dragon Empire and his twin brother in their first battle.
How can Brolbiner not feel happy when centuries of his hard work were paying off? Brolbiner had worked 500 years for this moment. How many times, the Black Dragon King had imagined this moment? The excitement that he felt throughout his veins and his body cannot be explained in words. With each passing second, his laughter only got louder and his body also started shaking in excitement.
While Brolbiner, his son, his family, and the entire Southern Fire Dragon Empire had started celebrating, Kang continued to slaughter the soldiers of the Northern Frost Dragon Empire without caring about the fact that he was killing women and men. The number of enemy troops number rapidly began to decrease. Some rented soldiers tried to try away but how could Kang let that happen under his watch?
The Southern Fire Dragon Empire's troops also spirited seeing a Peak 5th-order cultivator helping them out. The soldiers of the Black Dragon also became more violent, bolder, and aggressive. As a result, in less than 20 minutes, almost 90% of the troops were killed.
At the same time, the white magic circle that no one noticed previously started to expand in size. All the souls of the fallen soldiers, generals, and commanders were being sucked by the white magic circle that was buried under the layer of snow.
