Several powerful ancestors from the three major Demon Sects appeared in the Beichu army, and two days ago, the border city of Dingyuan County had fallen. The two hundred thousand Divine Strategy Army couldn't hold on, suffering tens of thousands of casualties, and had to retreat to the Commandery City of Dingyuan County, defending it to the death.
