Ruan Xiu crushed the jade token and read the military orders Ning Yao had left.
"The Vanguard Battalion?" Ruan Xiu's gaze turned peculiar. Ning Yao had assigned these tough customers of unknown origin to the Vanguard Battalion, which had the highest casualty rate?
Ruan Xiu glanced at Chen Lin. "Come with me."
The Vanguard Battalion at Blackwind Pass maintained a standing force of one million.
This was the meat grinder within the meat grinder. Thousands upon thousands of cultivators died here every day, and fresh troops arrived the next day to replace them.
Ruan Xiu brought Chen Lin and his companions to the commanding officers' tent.
"Go inside. The commanding officers are there." Ruan Xiu did not enter. She left them with those words, then turned and walked away.
Chen Lin lifted the heavy tent flap.
Inside, an enormous star chart hovered in midair. Two female generals stood around it, working through the battle situation.
The woman on the left wore crimson battle armor, her red skirt trailing across the ground. A serpentine mark adorned her brow, and her beauty was icy to the extreme.
The woman on the right wore green light armor. She was extraordinarily beautiful, and an aura of pure flame lingered around her.
The Vanguard Battalion's commanding officers were Cai Lin and Xiao Xun'er. Both were at the late Mystic Immortal stage.
At the sound, Cai Lin spoke without even raising her head, her voice cold. "Commander Ruan, the Vanguard Battalion doesn't need cannon fodder. Logistics is short-handed. Send them over to Wang Teng."
"Commander Ruan has already left," Chen Lin said evenly.
Cai Lin paused and looked up at Chen Lin.
Xiao Xun'er turned as well. Her gaze settled on Chen Lin, and after a brief sweep with her divine sense, her pupils abruptly contracted.
