" Chen Mu, I've heard that Moon Capital Pass guarded by Late Emperor Level being. To avoid excessive casualties, we'll have to rely on you there."
Inside the command hall of the Demon-Defending City, Chen Zihu pointed to the three-dimensional sand table map projected in the center and made a request to Chen Mu.
Compared to the Abyss Devil Race, the Chen Kingdom has a pitifully small number of high-end combat forces. To date, only A Huo and Chen Mu have reached the Emperor Level.
However, they were not afraid of ordinary Emperor Level. After all, they were not fighting in the streets, but fighting for supremacy among legions. Even Emperor Level beings would be in great danger if they were surrounded and attacked by elite legions.
Moreover, the strongest force in the Chen Kingdom has never been individual military strength, but rather the technological weapons provided by institutions such as the Rune Research Institute and Chen Industries, many of which are capable of threatening even Emperor Level beings.
However, technological weapons are different from methods of self-cultivation. Because technological weapons rely on external forces, they are very dangerous. If one is not careful, one can injure the enemy by 800 and lose 1000 of one's own strength.
Therefore, it will not be used lightly in ordinary warfare unless it is at a critical moment.
"No problem! I'll set off now. I'll take three squads of the Five Elements Army with me; they should be useful there."
Chen Mu naturally had no objections. In fact, he had long been tired of staying in the command post. The command system here had been optimized to its limit, and there was nothing that could be improved in the short term.
Today, Chen Kingdom's three major battle formations are highly developed and each has its own area of expertise.
The Demon-Slaying Sword is the strongest, but also the fewest in number. They excel in aerial combat, moving like the wind, making them ideal for long-distance raids.
While the individual strength of the Five Elements Army is slightly inferior, after years of training, their numbers have reached five thousand. They excel at fighting in complex terrain, such as the mountainous terrain of Moon Capital Pass, which is very suitable for them.
In recent years, under the command of Yin Zhan, the Hegemon Cavalry has assisted the Demon-Defending City in fighting against the Otherworldly Demon. They have undergone several expansions and now have a regular force of over 10,000 men.
They are the overlords of the plains, Hegemon Cavalry played a crucial role in the recent conquest of numerous Otherworldly Demon cities by the Chen Kingdom.
Currently, the three major battle formations, the Five Elements Army and the Demon-Slaying Sword, are stationed in the Demon-Defending City. The Five Elements Army is divided into five detachments, and Chen Mu has now selected three detachments, totaling three thousand men, to head to Moon Capital Pass together.
"Sure, you can decide that."
Chen Zihu knew that the Five Elements Army was well-suited to utilize its strengths at Moon Capital Pass, so he did not obstruct them.
After receiving a definite response, Chen Mu nodded, turned around, and left the command center.
West Ge Province, Moon Capital Pass.
At dawn, Yin Zhan, Zheng Fengdao, Chen Duo, and others, each leading over a million troops, encamped in the forest fifty kilometers in front of Moon Capital Pass.
Boom... Pfft!
In the air, a huge warship slowly descended. Yin Zhan recognized it at a glance: it was the " Pioneer Number One," Chen Mu's vehicle.
Even among the Chen Kingdom army, many had never seen a warship before. When the soldiers saw the massive ship, over 400 meters long, slowly approaching from the sky, they showed tense expressions.
"Don't worry, everyone. This is the Imperial Advisor's carriage; he's here to support us."
Yin Zhan quickly used communication equipment to notify the key military personnel below, telling the soldiers not to panic.
Not long after the notice was issued, the soldiers went from being surprised to delighted, their expressions brightening and their morale greatly boosted.
Soon, Chen Mu directed the Pioneer Number One to make a forced landing in a slightly more open area of the forest. The massive hull crushed many trees, but it did not affect the ship's balance in the slightest.
After the hatch opened, three thousand Five Elements Army walked out of the hatch in an orderly manner and lined up in neat rows in the open area.
"Pass down the order: the entire army will rest for three hours. After three hours, we will attack Moon Capital Pass!"
In the command center, Chen Mu issued orders to his subordinates through the combat command system.
"Yes!"
Chen Mu quickly received replies from all the officers.
"All officers of the third rank and above, after assigning duties to your subordinates, shall come aboard the ship for a meeting."
Chen Mu then issued another order.
Half an hour later.
Inside the council chamber of the Pioneer Number One, all the generals who had participated in the battle of Moon Capital Pass had gathered, numbering over seventy.
"The terrain of Moon Capital Pass is narrow and easy to defend, but difficult to attack. Although the Otherworldly Demon demons are not good at defense, they don't need to be in this kind of terrain. They only need to block the pass with a huge number of soldiers, and we won't gain any advantage."
Now, I hope everyone can share their opinions and see how we can take down the Moon Capital Pass!
Chen Mu sat in the main seat, looked around at everyone, and spoke loudly.
Although Chen Mu had commanded troops before, he was only a novice when it came to commanding large-scale wars.
Because of writing the 'command system' intelligent program, he knew a lot about war theories, but that was just theoretical. For actual combat command, he still had to rely on the real people who led troops all year round.
Most of the core generals of the Chen Kingdom were selected from various tribes in the Wilderness. The Wilderness has been plagued by war for years and has never lacked talented people with the ability to lead armies. However, because they fought independently and no force could unify the country, the Haotian Empire regarded them as having no threat.
Now, the territory of the Chen Kingdom has gathered most of the human tribes from the Wilderness. No one knows how terrifying the fighting power of the unified Wilderness tribes truly is.
"Your Excellency, our army is willing to serve as the vanguard and capture Moon Capital Pass!"
A burly man in the lower seats stood up and spoke in a muffled voice.
From the tribal patterns on the Han Chinese clothing, Chen Mu recognized that this was a member of the Fierce Bear Tribe Meng Zhenshan.
The Fierce Bear Tribe was originally a fairly large and advanced tribe in the Wilderness, but it had always been oppressed by the Flame Blessing Tribe and had a long-standing feud with the Flame Blessing Tribe.
After the Flame Blessing Tribe was destroyed by Chen Mu, the Fierce Bear Tribe quickly submitted to Chen Village and has contributed greatly to Chen Village's rule over the Wilderness for many years.
Chen Village did not treat them unfairly, providing them with a lot of support. Over the past few years, many experts have emerged from among them, and they have even formed a powerful elite legion, the Blazing Bear Legion.
Besides the three major battle formations in the Chen Kingdom, the Blazing Bear Legion's overall strength is enough to rank among the top three. Moreover, they are heavy infantry, skilled in frontal assaults, making them an excellent choice as the vanguard on the Moon Capital Pass battlefield.
"Very good, I approve! Your Blazing Bear Legion will lead the vanguard in this battle."
If you can capture Moon Capital Pass in this battle, your Fierce Bear Tribe will be richly rewarded!
Seeing Meng Zhenshan's high morale, Chen Mu smiled with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Imperial Preceptor!"
Meng Zhenshan clasped his hands in greeting and sat down again.
