Chen Kingdom, inside Military Base No. 1.

"Haha! Success! Our remote-controlled missile hit the target!"

Inside the remote missile control room, a member of the missile development team shouted with joy, followed by excited expressions from everyone else in the control room.

On the screen in the center of the control room, you can see the bird's-eye view from the satellite. Although the area covered by the image is too large to see precise details, it is still clear that the land dozens of kilometers Moon Capital Pass Yueduguan is covered by mushroom clouds.

The reason why accurate images cannot be seen is that some powerful beings have such keen senses that even if a satellite tens of thousands of miles high is focused on them, it will make the other party feel uncomfortable. Some can even use secret methods to deduce the existence of satellites and then rush to high altitudes to destroy them.

To date, several of the Chen Kingdom's satellites have been located and destroyed by the enemy for this very reason.

Chen Mu was heartbroken for a long time because satellites capable of detecting at altitudes tens of thousands of miles require extremely sophisticated manufacturing techniques and come at a huge cost; replenishing them is by no means cheap.

Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, satellites now only capture wide-ranging aerial views and rarely focus on in-depth investigations to avoid being discovered by powerful entities.

Not long after, Landuo walked into the control room from outside and announced to everyone with a smile.

"Very good, you did a great job this time."

I've already applied for level three resource rewards for you all; just wait to collect your rewards.

The group members were overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly stood up to bow respectfully. "Minister Landuo!"

While the precision strike of missiles mainly relies on the precise calculations of the AI program, the AI is, after all, a machine and does not have as many cunning ideas as humans. This is where the missile team needs to operate it. Only in this way can the missile's power be maximized.

"You all need to rest well these next few days. The battle against the Devil Race has only just begun, and we'll probably need your help again soon."

"Yes!"

Landuo nodded approvingly to everyone and left the missile control room.

After Moon Capital Pass was breached, the route from Moon Capital Pass to Demon-Defending City was basically flat, and the war for the Abyss Devil Race to reclaim their lost territory officially began. Countless Abyss Devil Race armies marched straight in from Moon Capital Pass, heading all the way to the heart of the Chen Kingdom.

Snap! Tap tap tap...!

After penetrating deep into Moon Capital Pass, Ahriman and Katelin realized something was amiss. Chen Kingdom was more cunning than they had anticipated. All the cities within Moon Capital Pass had now constructed solid defenses, and it would take them considerable effort to capture any one of them.

However, they cannot afford to waste too much time on the road now, because Chen Kingdom's missiles make them very wary. If they disperse their forces to attack these small cities, without skilled defenders, they could easily be wiped out by the Chen Kingdom's missiles.

"Never mind! Let's go straight to their camp and destroy their long-range bombs."

I refuse to believe they can stop our entire Black Demon Army Corps.

On the way, Ahriman made a very direct decision.

However, Katelin did not object, because at the moment, this was indeed the only effective offensive method.

She also knew that if she ventured deep into enemy territory and failed to capture Chen Kingdom's military base for a long time, she could easily find herself surrounded on all sides.

But the threat posed by the missiles was too great. If they didn't destroy the bases that launched the missiles, they would never be able to gain the initiative in the war, so she had no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

Six days later, the Abyss Devil Race army had penetrated more than 10,000 kilometers from Moon Capital Pass, and with another 7,000 to 8,000 kilometers, they would reach the missile base that Katelin had found.

However, at this time, the major cities within Moon Capital Pass began to change their tactics. Chen Kingdom troops, riding demonic beasts and skilled in raids, kept rushing out of the cities to harass the advancing Devil Race army and continuously bleed the Devil Race.

"Damn it! They did it on purpose; they knew we would directly attack their bomb-launching camp."

Ahriman knew Chen Kingdom's plans, but he was powerless to do anything about it. At this point, all they could do was continue their attack on the missile base and take it over.

Fortunately, the army they led this time was extremely strong, and these harassing legions dared not go too far, only causing minimal damage.

"Don't worry, Anlagong has brought an elite force to support us."

Furthermore, Lord Dark Lord has already stated that if we fail to capture their camp this time, he will also intervene.

Katelin noticed Ahriman's distress and shared her information with him.

Anlagong was also a general under the Black Demon Emperor, and his elite army consisted of Abyss races skilled in flight, allowing them to reach the battlefield extremely quickly.

"Haha, okay, I understand! Let's continue the attack."

Ahriman's confidence soared after receiving news from Katelin, and he ignored the harassment, continuing to lead his troops straight to the missile base.

Four days later, Ahriman and his army finally approached the military base.

The base that Katelin discovered was actually Military Base No. 1, which was not far from the Demon-Defending City. Therefore, Ahriman quickly noticed that the Demon-Defending City's legion was gathering in the distance, seemingly ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"All troops, listen up! Remain in place and rest! Attack the forward camp in three hours."

Ahriman did not take the army assembled by the Demon-Defending City seriously; this time, they were not a ragtag army, but an elite force directly under the Black Demon Emperor.

Having fought across the Pan Emperor Continent for so many years, they had never suffered a loss against any other legion except for the core legion of the Haotian Imperial Family. Even when fighting against the Holy Spirit Legion under the Saint Clan, they had only managed to achieve victories and defeats. So why would they take the Chen Kingdom's little-known legions seriously?

Although Chen Kingdom's three major battle formations have gained some fame, they are either too few in number or lack overall strength. Judging from their previous achievements, they are not yet a force to be reckoned with.

After all, Ahriman brought Black Demon Army of 10,000 men, more than 600 of whom were at the King Level, and the rest were at the Peak General Level. Their overall quality was much higher than that of the three major battle formations.

Although the Abyss Devil Race do not understand battle formations, they do have methods of coordinated attacks. Even if the three major battle formation legions of the Chen Kingdom were to unite against them, they would definitely be easily crushed.

However, Abyss Devil Race didn't know was that in the past six months, the three major battle formations of the Chen Kingdom had greatly improved in quality, thanks to the potions, cell gene enhancement, Semi-Mechanical Modification, and other technologies from the Rune Research Institute, as well as the support of Yi Province's abundant natural resources.

Their strength is skyrocketing every day, like a rocket.
