At this time, they were hundreds of kilometers away from the Devil Race army.
Boom boom boom...!
A dark green train is speeding across a vast plain.
The train was extremely crowded at this time, with countless Chen Kingdom soldiers crammed into the narrow carriage space. Even the roof was filled with people, and some seats were even stacked several layers high.
Fortunately, the route is all flat, so the train doesn't need to go through tunnels; otherwise, traveling by train like this would be quite dangerous.
"Hey! Man Le, could you please put your hand down? The smell is making it impossible for me to open my eyes."
Because of his short stature, the head of one of the taller men next to him was positioned directly under the armpit of the other man. Judging from his ashen expression, one could tell how devastated he was.
" Hou Qi, I had no choice! I'll fall if I don't hold onto the rings."
The tall man responded in a deep, resonant voice, his expression simple and honest.
These two men were the same men in military uniform and the Semi-Mechanical Modification warrior who had previously appeared in the military training area of Demon-Defending City.
They had already participated in the first siege when the elite Devil Race army retreated, but they both suffered minor injuries that time, so they missed the fourth siege. They planned to go directly to a more distant location to participate in the fifth siege.
"Then why can't you switch to the other hand?"
Hou Qi complained.
"No, that hand has been modified; using it consumes energy."
Man Le quickly shook his head.
"Alright! Man Le, as long as you switch drivers and get off the bus, I'll pay you a Spirit Stone. How about it?"
"Hehe, deal!"
Upon hearing Man Le, Manle immediately placed his other hand on the handrail in the center of the carriage. Although this hand was gloved, it remained motionless after being placed on the handrail, undoubtedly concealing extremely strong strength.
Seeing that the grotesque armpit hair in front of him was now covered by his arm, Hou Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was still a strange odor around him, it was much better than before.
"Luckily, this train only takes about half an hour to get there, otherwise I would have gone crazy."
Hou Qi muttered something to himself, silently enduring it.
Scenes like this continue to unfold on the nearby railway tracks, with trains originally designed to carry only about 5,000 passengers being crammed with nearly 20,000.
Fortunately, the train manufactured by Chen Industries was of high quality, and the passengers were highly skilled warriors, so no dangerous situation occurred.
Seven or eight hours have passed since the retreat of the elite Devil Race army. This is enough time for dozens of trains in the vicinity to make seven or eight trips. With the full support of various cities, they are fully capable of transporting more than two million troops to a distance of one thousand kilometers within two or three hours.
The fourth day after the retreat of the elite Devil Race army.
On the vast plains, Ahriman, leading a scattered elite Devil Race army, continued his march toward Moon Demon Pass.
The Devil Race army now numbers only about 400,000. Most of them are covered in blood and extremely exhausted, yet they have no choice but to muster their strength and continue advancing.
" Ahriman, this can't go on any longer."
If they continue to wear them down like this, after at most three more interceptions, these soldiers will be completely wiped out.
Katelin surveyed the situation below from the air, her expression grave.
"What else can we do? If we don't leave, we'll all die anyway."
Ahriman sighed, his brow furrowed in worry.
"Find a location that's easy to defend and difficult to attack, stop there, and wait for reinforcements."
"That's what Katelin suggested."
Ahriman looked at Katelin, then glanced at Anlagong in the distance, and nodded helplessly.
"Okay! You find a seat."
His elite army had to be rescued by ordinary legions, which was hard for the proud Ahriman to accept.
However, given the current situation, this is indeed the only option.
In these four days, tens of millions of Devil Race troops have entered Chen Kingdom from Moon Capital Pass. If they can hold out for five or six days, they may survive.
Otherwise, they'll probably all be dead by tomorrow.
Using her exploration magic, Katelin quickly found a valley. Although the valley wasn't particularly steep, it was the most suitable terrain for defense.
Ahriman immediately led his army towards the valley.
Inside the control room of Pioneer Number One.
"Master, Ahriman has led the elite Devil Race towards ' Great Ridge Valley,' presumably intending to stop there and await rescue."
What should we do next? Isn't it time for our final battle?
On the console, Chen Ju's hands moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, constantly tapping the buttons on the virtual screen.
She was conducting an air combat rehearsal while simultaneously reporting the battle situation to Chen Mu, appearing completely at ease.
"Don't worry about them for now!"
Leave around two million level-two or higher legions stationed around the area to prevent them from escaping.
I will launch the ' Mushroom Sea ' strike plan tomorrow; you can rest until then.
After the strike plan is completed, you will lead one hundred warships to Boulder City to cooperate with General Yue's operation. General Yue will contact you with further instructions.
"Yes! We will definitely complete the mission."
Within Boulder City, in the West Ge Province.
Since the fall of Moon Capital Pass, Boulder City has been constantly threatened by the Devil Race. However, during the half-year reign of the Chen Kingdom, Boulder City has built a very strong defense.
Despite the Devil Race army's relentless attacks day and night, Boulder City is well-prepared and has yet to be breached.
At this moment, next to the large teleportation array in the center of Boulder City, dozens of imposing generals in armor were waiting.
Buzz...!
As the light from the teleportation array gradually faded, two imposing men with powerful strides emerged from it.
"Your subordinate greets Fierce Tiger Marshal!"
"Greetings, Fierce Tiger Marshal!"
The generals immediately knelt on one knee to greet the leading man.
The man at the head was Chen Zihu, who is now Fierce Tiger Marshal of the Chen Kingdom.
Since the rise of Chen Village, Chen Zihu has led his army in numerous battles, achieving great military exploits. Among the Chen Kingdom, Chen Zihu has the highest prestige, even surpassing that of Chen Hongjie.
However, in the cultivation world, any force that has even a slight understanding of the Chen Kingdom knows that Chen Mu is the true ruler of the Chen Kingdom, and no one has ever questioned this.
"All generals, rise!"
Chen Zihu raised his hands, causing all the generals to stand up.
"I believe everyone already knows why I've come here."
I'm not planning to stay long this time; rather, I'd like to introduce you to a senior colleague.
Chen Zihu spoke, he stepped back to the side of the man who had come with him.
"This is General Yue, but I cannot disclose his specific identity."
I can only tell you one thing: in terms of military strategy, I am inferior to him.
As soon as Chen Zihu finished speaking, all the generals' expressions changed, revealing expressions of disbelief.
Although they had received news before Chen Zihu arrived that Chen Zihu would recommend a new general to take over the military power of Boulder City.
But they never expected that Chen Zihu would admit that he was inferior to the new general in military strategy.
Every general who has fought on the battlefield has pride, but Chen Zihu, a marshal who was second only to the emperor in the Chen Kingdom and an invincible war god who had almost never lost a battle, actually admitted that he was inferior to a newly appointed general.
This fueled their curiosity about General Yue.
