Chen Mu! Are you serious?
"It's just an alliance with you, you make it sound like I'd betray you."
Wei Shuang muttered a couple of dissatisfactions, then her tone turned serious.
"Our King Who Guards the West's Residence's conditions are actually very simple: you must promise us that you will treat the people of Yi Province well in the future!"
If you break your promise in the future, don't blame my Mountain Army for fighting you to the death.
As Wei Shuang recounted the story, a hint of tragedy crept into her voice.
Chen Mu was stunned upon hearing this, only then realizing that he had judged the gentleman by his own petty standards.
"The people of Yi Province all say that the King Who Guards the West's Residence is full of loyal and righteous men, and I thought it was an exaggeration."
Now it seems, he truly deserves it!
He sighed, his gaze becoming respectful.
"Alright! I promise you, you don't need to worry. The governing philosophy of my Chen Kingdom has always been people-oriented and focused on common development."
If the people of Yi Province are incorporated into our Chen Kingdom in the future, I will treat them all equally and ensure that they all live a peaceful and prosperous life.
"Good that you agreed! Let's leave it at that for now."
I will personally travel to your capital in three days to discuss the specifics of our alliance.
Before contacting Chen Mu, the King Who Guards the West's Residence had already conducted a detailed investigation into the lives of the people of the Chen Kingdom, so they naturally knew that what Chen Mu said was true. She did not say anything more and cut off the communication jade tablet.
" Chen Mu, is the King Who Guards the West's Residence going to form an alliance with us?"
Chen Zihu sat on the command platform, directing the war at the front lines and issuing military orders from time to time to advance the attacks on the various cities of the Otherworldly Demon.
During this process, he overheard bits and pieces of Chen Mu and Wei Shuang's conversation and couldn't help but ask Chen Mu for confirmation.
"Yes! Wei Shuang will personally come to the capital in three days to discuss cooperation with me. I expect I'll be away for a few days then."
"Haha, no problem! It's wonderful that the King Who Guards the West's Residence is willing to form an alliance with us."
Chen Zihu's brows relaxed considerably; clearly, the King Who Guards the West's Residence had given him a great deal of confidence.
Chen Mu did not disturb Chen Zihu's command of the operation. He sat down cross-legged and continued to optimize the command system of the combat command post.
The successive victories in the war against the Otherworldly Demon were not only due to the thorough preparations of the Chen Kingdom, but also to the extremely important role played by the Chen Kingdom's advanced communication technology.
Commanding soldiers in war is an extremely difficult task, especially in a place like Pan Emperor Continent, where battles often involve hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of troops.
Commanding such a large force requires extremely high skill from the commander. In previous battles between the two armies, it was already quite good if a commander could flexibly direct his troops into battle. Many tactics were simply not feasible at this level.
For example, a night raid is a tactic in which a commander leads a thousand troops to raid an enemy camp at night, and this tactic has a high probability of success.
However, if you are leading tens of thousands of troops, it is almost impossible to succeed because the troops are too large a target, and it is very difficult to control each soldier. The requirements for the commander and key members are extremely high.
However, now, thanks to advanced communication technology, every military order issued by the Chen Kingdom army can quickly reach every soldier at the lowest level. With the assistance of communication technology, the army has become much easier to control.
However, Chen Mu's goals were not limited to this. In addition to using communication technology to control the army, he also equipped the key generals in the army with auxiliary command Rune Artifacts.
The auxiliary command Rune Artifacts automatically collects war information, analyzes the environment, and recommends battle plans to generals.
Previously, the command system was merely Chen Mu developing it behind closed doors; often, he was simply reciting tactics from books step by step. However, the recent battles were different; the actual combat provided him with a wealth of material.
With real-world combat data, Chen Mu focused on optimizing the command system, hoping it would play a vital role in the future and reduce casualties among the Chen Kingdom army.
Heaven-Questioning Pavilion is located in the Ananda Mountain Range, at the border of Yi Province and Jing Province.
The Ananda Mountain Range are steep and rugged, with cliffs and precipices everywhere. Ordinary people would find it difficult to survive here. Only martial arts practitioners who seek immortality and enlightenment would venture deep into these mountains.
But at that moment, a huge steel warship slowly descended from the clouds. The warship was engraved with the emblem of the Chen Kingdom and the number "3".
This is the Pioneer No. 3, one of the three main warships of the Chen Kingdom.
As the last main warship built by the Chen Kingdom, the Pioneer No. 3 was the most fully functional, the most maneuverable, and the most complexly designed warship.
Unfortunately, many rare minerals had already been used up when this warship was built, so it was slightly inferior to the Pioneer No. 1 in terms of direct combat power.
Inside the Pioneer No. 3, A Huo sat in the main seat of the command room, controlling the main ship to slowly approach a Otherworldly Demon army camp not far away.
" Demon-Slaying Sword, strike!"
At A Huo's command, five squads of one hundred men each filed out from both sides of the warship, rushing towards the military camp below in close succession.
This military camp is one of the main forces besieging Heaven-Questioning Pavilion. Since the war with the Otherworldly Demon began, Chen Mu has sent A Huo to drive the Pioneer Number Three here to clear out the Otherworldly Demon.
The Otherworldly Demon besieging Heaven-Questioning Pavilion here are not ordinary Otherworldly Demon armies; they are all elite troops under the command of the Heart Demon Emperor, with Emperor Level Otherworldly Demon stationed in each camp, which shows how much they value Heaven-Questioning Pavilion.
However, in these five days, A Huo, leading the Demon-Slaying Sword, has already breached three Otherworldly Demon army camps, and this is now the fourth.
"Open all cannons and unleash a full-scale attack on the camp below."
With A Huo's command, thousands of cannons below the Pioneer No. 3 opened and began to unleash their firepower.
Boom! Boom! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Moments later, screams of agony echoed through the Otherworldly Demon army camp. Most of the Otherworldly Demon lacked the ability to fight in the air and were left as lambs to the slaughter.
"Hmph! Those wretched humans, always using the same fighting style."
"Come with me, let's attack this steel monster together. I refuse to believe we can't break its turtle shell."
Inside the main tent of the military camp, dozens of experts took to the air, the leader with a gloomy face, staring intently at Pioneer No. 3.
This Otherworldly Demon Emperor is named ' Baer '. There are two other Otherworldly Demon Emperor with him. They all fled here to join Baer after the military camp was breached by A Huo.
There was another Otherworldly Demon Emperor from the military camp who didn't come here because he was seriously injured by A Huo and had to escape back to heal.
They all hated the Pioneer No. 3 piloted by A Huo, but in the previous battles, they had been unable to harm the Pioneer No. 3. So they joined forces with the remaining experts and Baer to deal with the Pioneer No. 3 together.
