Liang Province, inside the Devil Race clan's camp.
A tall, elegant old man from the Abyss Devil Race was reviewing a magical letter.
After reading the letter, the old Devil Race slammed it on the table with a loud bang, his face extremely grim.
"What a Chen Kingdom! They actually managed to kill so many of my Devil Race's elite troops. It seems I underestimated them before."
This elderly Devil Race was none other than the leader of this attack on the Chen Kingdom, the Black Demon Emperor Xilade, one of the six great Demon Emperor.
After calming himself down for a moment, Xilade took out a piece of magical paper from the table, traced a few lines in the air with his fingers, and typed in some information.
After a while, he folded the magic letter into the shape of a letter. With a wave of his hand, a mysterious polygonal pattern lit up in the air, and the magic letter instantly disappeared into it.
"Although the casualties were much greater than expected, at least the enemy's bomb-laying camp has been successfully destroyed."
"Now we begin to assemble our army and launch a full-scale attack on the Chen Kingdom. This time, we must destroy this arrogant and ignorant nation."
In Xilade's eyes, although more than half of the elite Devil Race he sent had been killed or wounded, Chen Kingdom had also lost tens of thousands of powerful magical Rune Artifacts and an iron base in this battle, as well as more than four million robots and soldiers. Therefore, he felt that Chen Kingdom had not gained much advantage.
But what he didn't know was that the combat robots Chen Kingdom lost in this battle were outdated versions, Chen Mu had long wanted to get rid of them and replace them with newer ones.
The city walls and Rune Artifacts of No. 1 Base are completely insignificant given Chen Kingdom's current production capacity.
Why did No. 1 Base use steel walls to block the enemy, without even using any formations or runes?
This is because, given Chen Kingdom's productivity, there is an abundance of these metals, unmixed with spirit ore, in the Wilderness; all that's needed is for robots to mine and smelt them.
Therefore, in the battle No. 1 Base was self-destructed, Chen Kingdom's real biggest loss was those more than one hundred King Level or higher Rune Artifacts. The manufacture of those high-end Rune Artifacts required some spiritually rich ores, which were indeed quite precious.
However, given the Rune Research Institute's ability to utilize materials to the fullest extent, the rare spiritual minerals contained in these King Level Rune Artifacts are still very few, and rune Rune Artifacts below the King Level are even rarer. Such losses are nothing to the Chen Kingdom.
In addition, the Chen Kingdom lost more than a million soldiers. The Chen Kingdom had a relatively small population to begin with, so more than a million soldiers was indeed a lot. However, an army needs to experience the ravages of war to improve.
Compared to the loss of soldiers, the transformation of the army during the war is obviously of greater help to the Chen Kingdom. Among the legions that participated in the battle against the Black Demon Emperor Emperor's army, many elite legions have already emerged. In time, these elite legions will become the mainstay of the Chen Kingdom.
So-called wars are often just a contest of resources, but due to the technological revolution, the Chen Kingdom's ability to utilize resources far surpasses that of traditional powers.
Therefore, the development system of the Chen Kingdom has unlimited potential. As long as it does not fail in the early stages, it will definitely become a dominant force in the later stages.
Chen Kingdom, the main hall of the Demon-Defending City.
When Chen Mu arrived at the front hall, he saw everyone chatting casually, and he smiled as well.
" Landuo, have all the people at No. 1 Base been evacuated?"
"Haha, thanks to the master, they were all sent to Demon-Defending City via a small teleportation array, not a single one is missing."
Landuo laughed heartily, in a good mood.
Teleportation arrays consume a lot of Spirit Stone, and the stronger the player and the farther the distance, the more Spirit Stone are consumed during teleportation. Therefore, they are generally not very useful in war.
However, the technicians responsible for operating the Rune Artifacts at No. 1 Base were not particularly strong, and there were only a few hundred of them. They were able to perfectly utilize the teleportation array to escape, which was something the enemy could never have imagined.
If it were the traditional Rune Artifacts manufactured by the Heavenly Puppet Sect, tens of thousands of such Rune Artifacts would require at least tens of thousands of people to operate, and their precision and accuracy would never be as good as those at No. 1 Base.
Only in the Chen Kingdom, due to the existence of the AI and the Spirit Network, could a few hundred people control more than ten thousand Rune Artifacts for precise attacks.
"That's good. You all should get some rest during this time."
After we wipe out these Devil Race, we'll choose a new location and rebuild No. 1 Base.
Chen Mu casually found a chair in the hall and sat down, looking relaxed.
" Chen Mu, you're making it sound so easy. Are you hiding some trump card from us?"
Zhou Sen noticed Chen Mu and Landuo's conversation and asked a question out of curiosity.
"My trump card? Haha, isn't Senior Zhou my trump card?"
At this moment, a maid brought a cup of tea and placed it on the table next to Chen Mu, Chen Mu then picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Hey! Okay, fine, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine too."
But to be honest, if we really have to fight, the most I can do is hold off those two Devil Race generals for you; I can't worry about the rest of you.
There are just too many of them. To be honest, I don't think you have a good chance if a fight breaks out.
Zhou Sen knew that it was a taboo for cultivators to inquire about others' trump cards, but he was too curious about how Chen Mu planned to deal with the remaining Black Demon Emperor's army, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Senior Zhou, please rest assured. Just do your best. You will be paid exactly what you put in. I would never dare to withhold anything."
"Leave the matter of victory to me. I will be holding a military meeting later. I wonder if Senior Zhou would be interested in attending?"
Chen Mu understood that sword cultivators excelled at single-target attacks, and Zhou Sen had already done his best to hold off two Demon Emperor generals by himself, so he didn't intend to ask more of him.
"Hehe, let's just forget about it! Just tell me what to do after the meeting."
When Zhou Sen heard that Chen Mu was going to hold a military meeting, his tone immediately softened, and he turned his head away without asking any further questions.
Sword cultivators are generally pure of mind and single-minded in their pursuit of the sword. Zhou Sen is no exception. He gets a headache whenever he hears about military tactics and tricks and has no intention of getting involved.
Just then, Chen Mu received a communication request from A Huo, and he immediately answered the video call.
"How's it going, A Huo? You should be done fighting over there by now, right?"
At the same time that No. 1 Base was under attack, Chen Mu received a warning that Suspended Sword Pass was also under attack by the Black Demon Emperor's forces. However, since the Five Elements Army and the Warship No. 3 were both at Suspended Sword Pass, and A Huo was there as well, he was still quite at ease.
"It's over! Although Yaboluo escaped, his essence was shattered by my Sword Qi, and it will probably take him at least a hundred years to recover."
"Haha, good! In this way, the Black Demon Emperor's generals are left only these three trapped in the Chen Kingdom. If we can keep the remaining three here, it will be much easier to reclaim West Ge Province and Yi Province in the future."
Chen Mu already knew that the last Black Demon Emperor's general, Anlagong, had recently joined up with Ahriman's remaining troops at the ruins of Military Base No. 1. Therefore, there were now three Black Demon Emperor's generals near the Demon-Defending City.
