The supreme commander of the Western Kingdom, Ulysses, had already made a secret visit to Wind Howling Valley. His actions were extremely discreet, with few aware of it, not even the intelligence personnel of the other two countries managed to find out.
The purpose of visiting such a place was naturally to oversee the movements of the Wind Slave Royal Court and the frontline battlefield personally. This operation was a high-stakes gamble by the Western Kingdom, as most of their previously established advantages had been eliminated by Li Rui, and now they wished to regain them.
Thus, after deliberations within the Western Kingdom's command hierarchy, they reached a unanimous conclusion: to use the actions of the Wind Slave Royal Court to lure out the forces of the other two parties, then observe and choose an opportune moment to crush the appearing enemies.
Such operations naturally cannot rely solely on strength. Preliminary intelligence work is also crucial.
