Chen Mu arrived at the center of the rune array on Broken Blade Mountain and greeted Kong Yu.
"Brother Kong Yu! How is the formation being set up?"
"Haha, Brother Chen, you've already made all the arrangements."
Furthermore, as you suggested, I reserved space for you to set up the Five Elements Talisman Flags and Talisman Kui. Now it's your turn to shine!
Kong Yu, dressed in blue and holding a folding fan, had a cheerful personality and had been working very well with Chen Mu during this period.
This time at the Broken Blade Mountain, they designed a three-layered formation that even King Level expert would not be able to break through in a short time.
In addition, a series of illusionary formations were set up along the edge of the mountain to prevent enemies from sneaking up and climbing the mountain.
"Brother Chen, among all the people I've met, you are undoubtedly the best when it comes to understanding runes."
Although your level of skill isn't very high, I've never seen anyone use basic runes to such a masterful degree.
"If there's an opportunity in the future, I must give you more guidance, brother, so that our acquaintance won't have been in vain."
As a formation master at the Third Layer of the Solid Realm, Kong Yu originally had a bit of pride and didn't like Chen Mu interfering with his formation setup.
However, in the past few days, every problem with the formation that Chen Mu casually pointed out has benefited him greatly, especially after Chen Mu added the Five Elements Talisman Flags, which further enhanced the power of the entire formation.
He then realized just how important runes were in formations, and was deeply impressed by Chen Mu's mastery of runes.
Haha, Brother Kong, you're too modest!
We're just learning from each other! Brother Kong's insights on battle formations have been very helpful to me as well.
Chen Mu cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said modestly.
The next day, in the afternoon.
"Based on the training data and macro-level coordination, the Sword Guardian Battalion will now be divided into four battalions: the Cannon Squad, the Spear Squad, the Mobile Squad, and the Garrison Squad."
These four battalions are of equal rank and each has its own focus. I hope you can work together to fight this powerful enemy!
After a day of discussion and consideration, the Sword Guardian Battalion began to divide into teams according to Chen Mu's idea. Chen Mu's prestige is very high now, so the team division process went smoothly.
The captain of the Cannon Squad was Zheng Fengdao. He was very fast at Handheld Rune Cannon, and he had a natural keen sense of spirituality and the ability to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, making him very suitable to lead the Cannon Squad.
The captain of the Spear Squad is A Huo. Although he doesn't like using guns, he trained with Chen Mu for a while, and his marksmanship is much better than the others.
The captain of the Mobile Squad is Yin Zhan. The Mobile Squad has the largest number of members and is also the strongest. Their main task is to ensure the safety of the two teams in front.
Finally, there is the Garrison Squad, led by Kong Yu. They are mainly composed of people with strong defensive and logistical capabilities and generally do not leave the Broken Blade Mountain Broken Blade Mountain base to ensure its safety.
After the teams were divided, Chen Mu led each team in some targeted training, and another day quickly passed.
" Chen Mu, the vanguard of the Otherworldly Demon Army has arrived and established a temporary camp approximately twelve kilometers from Absolute Sword City."
Elder Qing Xue received the latest battle report and rushed to Broken Blade Mountain to take up her post.
In the past two days, many battle reports have been coming in from the outside world. Chen Mu discovered that in addition to Absolute Sword City, more than a dozen other cities have also encountered the Otherworldly Demon army.
A war involving over a dozen cities and millions of Otherworldly Demon troops has not been waged for over a century.
However, for tens of thousands of years, the war between humans and Otherworldly Demon has resulted in more wins than losses for humans. Therefore, apart from the cities that were attacked, the overall attitude within the empire was optimistic, and it did not cause too much of a stir.
However, Chen Mu felt something was off, because the actions of the Otherworldly Demon in various cities were too coordinated, and they had many backup plans, even deploying human spies. It didn't seem like an ordinary war at all.
However, the war at the empire level is not something a small person like Chen Mu needs to think about. His most important task now is to get through the current crisis.
Chen Mu had manufactured a large telescope two days earlier, and it came in handy now.
Broken Blade Mountain is very high up; if you set up a telescope on the top, you can directly observe the alien camp seven or eight kilometers away.
At this time, the alien camp, Broken Blade Mountain, and Absolute Sword City form a roughly triangular shape. Therefore, although the alien camp is twelve kilometers away from Absolute Sword City, it is only seven or eight kilometers away from Broken Blade Mountain.
In terms of Earth's environment, telescopes are easily affected by air particles when looking at such great distances, making it difficult to see distant objects clearly.
But in this world, this situation does not exist, and Chen Mu directly saw the camp of the Otherworldly Demon Vanguard Force.
"They're Otherworldly Demon cavalry, and Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon too!"
The vanguard of the Otherworldly Demon numbered approximately 20,000, of which 80% were Otherworldly Demon cavalry.
The Otherworldly Demon cavalry all rode on a hideous Otherworldly Demon with brown-black skin, a bull-like appearance, sharp fangs, and incredible speed and endurance, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
The cavalry on the Otherworldly Demon uniformly use large swords as weapons, move like the wind, and can best utilize their advantages on open battlefields.
The remaining 20% of the vanguard of the Otherworldly Demon are known as the Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon.
The Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon resemble bats in appearance, are ugly, can fly, and like to suck blood. They are characterized by their hard outer skin, making them difficult to harm with ordinary attacks.
Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon are a relatively rare Otherworldly Demon race, accounting for only about one percent of Otherworldly Demon. They are extremely valuable and are generally used as raiding forces.
The vanguard of the Otherworldly Demon was stationed at the edge of the forest. Chen Mu even saw an Otherworldly Demon floating in mid-air in the distance, which he assumed was a King Level powerhouse.
With King Level expert present, it would be very difficult to launch a sneak attack on them.
Moreover, this vanguard of the Otherworldly Demon is highly mobile and can escape at the slightest sign of trouble. Ordinary armies simply cannot catch them, thus essentially eliminating Chen Mu's idea of launching a sneak attack.
Next, Chen Mu had Duoduo stay next to the telescope to keep a close eye on the movements of the Otherworldly Demon.
" A Huo, bring the trainers back!"
Get a good rest tonight, and you should have some real matches to play tomorrow!
Chen Mu used the communication jade token to notify A Huo to lead the Sword Guardian Battalion, which was still training at the foot of the mountain, back.
Nighttime, on Broken Blade Mountain.
At this time, a simple military conference room had been built on Broken Blade Mountain, where more than a dozen key figures of the Sword Guardian Battalion had gathered.
Chen Mu unfurled the map and began discussing it with the others.
"Now let's analyze the attack routes of the Otherworldly Demon."
The northern side of Absolute Sword City is surrounded by water and bisected by a huge river, so the Otherworldly Demon have virtually no way to attack from that direction.
Chen Mu drew a cross on the north side of Absolute Sword City with his pen.
" The Otherworldly Demon come from the west. The East Gate is the heart of the Empire, and the only way for them to get there is through the South Gate, which is too dangerous for Otherworldly Demon, so we can basically rule them out."
He drew an intersection on the east side again with his pen.
"The main targets of the Otherworldly Demon ' attacks are the western and southern gates of the city. Our location is precisely to the southwest of Absolute Sword City. Therefore, if the Otherworldly Demon want to attack Absolute Sword City, we will become a thorn in their side!"
No matter which direction they attack from, we can easily intervene, and because we rely on natural defenses, even if they have a million soldiers, they can't do anything to us.
