West of Chen Village, within the Iron Ridge Tribe.
Since the battle between the Five Elements Army and the Blazing Flame Army, the Five Elements Army has become famous, and news of this mysterious force in Chen Village has been discussed everywhere in the Wilderness.
However, in the Five Elements Army's camp, Chen Rufeng and his ten Five Elements Guards were given a severe scolding by Chen Zihu.
I hope you will all remember what I have said.
If you behave like this again, I definitely won't let you off so easily. You'd better watch yourselves!
After Chen Zihu finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned to leave the military camp.
After a while, Miao Ya noticed that Chen Rufeng was staring at the military map on the wall in silence, so she spoke up anxiously.
"Boss Feng, what do we do now? If we don't produce some results next time, Lord Zihu..."
" Miao Ya, calm down."
"If Lord Zihu wanted to punish us, he would have done so already. The fact that he's told us so much means he's still satisfied with us, so you don't need to worry too much."
Chen Rufeng, reassuring Miao Ya.
"Actually, after this battle, all members of our Five Elements Army have made great progress, and I am not worried about our performance in the next battle at all."
What I'm thinking about now is how to better leverage our strengths and achieve greater results on the battlefield.
As he spoke, Chen Rufeng pointed to the location of the Jianglan Tribe on the map.
"We should be facing Jianglan Army on the main battlefield soon. Jianglan Army excels in defense, and their synchronization rate is even higher than that of the Blazing Flame Army. Therefore, I plan to have Zuo Chang and Bilan, who are skilled in metal manipulation, as the vanguard..."
As Chen Rufeng spoke, he gestured with his hands to demonstrate his battle plan, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
Since they became the Five Elements Guards, they have been inseparable for three years, with Chen Mu personally guiding their cultivation and training. They get along very well.
Chen Rufeng was the oldest and had the highest cultivation level among them, so he naturally became the leader.
Although Chen Rufeng wasn't particularly gifted in leading troops, he was calm, hardworking, and good at uniting the team, earning the respect and respect of his superiors.
"I believe this is the first time you've all experienced a teammate dying in battle, and it was the same for me."
But I hope you understand that this kind of thing will continue to happen around us frequently in the future; war never happens without death.
I can only guarantee that if anyone dies in battle, Chen Village will ensure that his family receives adequate protection and support.
So fight! Fight for Chen Village! Fight for glory!
After the operational meeting concluded, Chen Rufeng encouraged everyone before adjourning the meeting.
The next day, Chen Duo escorted a batch of new weapons, food, and military equipment to the front line.
The all-out war between Chen Village and the allied forces of the Jiang Lan and Yanzhu tribes also began at this time.
Although the Jiang Lan and Yanzhu tribes are close to each other, they are separated by a terrifying Demonic Beast Mountain Range. Therefore, although there have been occasional frictions over the past thousand years, there have been no deep conflicts. This is the main reason why they were able to form an alliance this time.
After they formed an alliance, the forces that were originally on guard against each other were redeployed and concentrated on the front line to deal with Chen Village's army, making the disparity in troop strength between the two sides even greater.
Chen Village's forces at the front line numbered only a quarter of the combined forces of the two tribes, but Chen Village's army was fearless because they had always won against overwhelming odds since their rise to power.
In the conference hall of the Jianglan Tribe.
The place was very spacious, with animal hides covering the ground and powerful monster skulls hanging on the walls, all of which demonstrated the tribe's strength.
"Gentlemen, Chen Village has recently been using a reconnaissance puppet that is as small as a mosquito."
Our troop deployment has become completely transparent to them, and we are now in a very passive position. Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with this?
Jiang Kechang, the leader of the Jianglan Tribe, sat at the head of the hall and spoke in a deep voice.
"In my opinion, our forces far outnumber theirs. We only need to launch a full-scale attack and strike directly at the enemy's central command. Why bother with roundabout maneuvers and create unnecessary trouble?"
A brave soldier below made a suggestion.
"That's one way, but it would cause too many casualties. I'd like to hear other people's opinions."
Jiang Tianrui, you're also a talisman master, do you have a way to deal with this?
The Jianglan Tribe also trained several talisman masters, among whom Jiang Tianrui was the leader.
"My lord, that reconnaissance puppet is too ingeniously designed. I'm still working on deciphering it, and I estimate... I estimate I won't find a solution for the foreseeable future."
Jiang Tianrui was utterly bewildered. This was the first time he had ever seen such an exquisite rune puppet. Not only was the mechanism inside ingenious, but more importantly, he couldn't understand the rune structure at all.
Thanks to the powerful computing power of Rune Core No. 3, Chen Mu forged his own unique path in runes. Traditional communication and reconnaissance runes were completely transformed by Chen Mu, which explains why Jiang Tianrui couldn't understand them.
Moreover, the core structure of the runes is inside the Rune Artifacts, where there are anti-crack runes. Once opened, they will automatically degrade, making it impossible for him to crack them.
Upon hearing Jiang Tianrui's explanation, Jiang Kechang frowned. To date, Jiang Tianrui had made no progress in the creation of various puppets and Rune Artifacts in Chen Village, which greatly displeased him.
However, he had heard that the Flame Blessing Tribe had once sent a captured Chen Village puppet spider to the Central Land and asked the Talisman Puppet Sect for help in deciphering it, but so far they had not succeeded.
He knew it wasn't Jiang Tianrui's fault, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Alright! Since no one else has a solution, let's fight them head-on. I refuse to believe that our Jianglan Tribe, with its thousands of years of accumulated strength, can't destroy this shallow, newly emerging tribe."
Over the next ten days or so, the allied forces of the two tribes and Chen Village engaged in dozens of battles Xiaoxiao.
However, they all misjudged Chen Village's strength. Every time Chen Village's army was in a critical situation, they would always come up with new weapons or hidden methods to completely turn the tide.
In the end, Chen Village won a complete victory. Although they suffered some casualties, it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that Chen Village's so-called casualties were actually within a controllable range. They seemed to be deliberately using this method to train their troops.
The effects of the practical training were very obvious. After several battles, the combat strength of Chen Village's Five Elements Army soared and it has now reached the level of the elite legions of the eight major tribes.
Other armies in Chen Village were also growing rapidly. Many of the ragtag troops they had gathered became increasingly elite, and in terms of the strength of their elite units, Chen Village gradually caught up with the eight major tribes.
After the combined forces of the two tribes were defeated, large swathes of the Jianglan Tribe's territory were encroached upon by Chen Village, and Chen Village's territory gradually approached the edge of the Flame Blessing Tribe's territory. The people of both tribes were filled with anxiety.
