"Any news from the Thunder Battle Division?"
"No, their last appearance was in Heavenly Emperor City, after which they seemed to vanish into thin air, completely disappearing from the Pan Emperor Continent."
"Hehe, just as I expected!"
This Heavenly King Linlang is really not easy to deal with!
Chen Mu muttered to himself, his expression very solemn.
He hoped that Heavenly King Linlang would follow the example of the previous Divine Lord Xuanji and launch a full-scale attack on the Chen Kingdom at the very beginning of the war.
In that case, he had prepared many measures in advance. Although the Chen Kingdom would also suffer losses, the Heavenly Court's losses would be more than ten times that of his side.
However, the Heavenly Court's army has only been probing so far. Many times, they have abandoned their attacks in battles that they could have won, in order to avoid taking risks. This has caused Chen Mu's backup plans to fall through.
"Don't rush! Be patient, and especially don't let him find any weaknesses."
Once I reveal a weakness, the Thunder Battle Division will appear, and that will be the true end for the Chen Kingdom.
The Thunder Battle Division is definitely a legion of Gold Seventh Tier or higher, and may even reach Tier 8.
On the main battlefield, even several Void God Realm experts would find it difficult to stop such an army, so Chen Mu must be extremely careful. If the Thunder Battle Division were to sneak into Source Wood City, then the Chen Kingdom could basically declare surrender.
Now, if Heavenly King Linlang appears alone in Source Wood City, Chen Mu can still fight him with the city's defenses. Even if he can't defeat Heavenly King Linlang Heavenly King Linlang, he is confident that he can exhaust his strength or even injure him.
There are more than one True God Realm expert on the Pan Emperor Continent now, and the Heavenly King Linlang would never put himself in danger for Chen Mu's sake.
However, if the Thunder Battle Division appears near Source Wood City, then there's really no need to fight. With the Thunder Battle Division cooperating with Heavenly King Linlang, Heavenly King Linlang will definitely be able to break through Source Wood City without suffering any losses.
However, precisely because of the strength of the Thunder Battle Division, Heavenly King Linlang would not easily allow the Thunder Battle Division to take risks.
The Thunder Battle Division is the foundation of Heavenly King Linlang's conquest of the heavens. Even if only one member dies, Heavenly King Linlang will feel heartbroken. Without absolute certainty, Heavenly King Linlang would never allow the Thunder Battle Division to enter the heart of the Chen Kingdom.
After all, even the Thunder Battle Division would be in great danger if it were surrounded by an army of millions of cultivators.
Thus, the Heavenly Court's probing attacks on the Chen Kingdom continued for more than a month.
Over the course of more than a month of fighting, the Heavenly Court's offensive intensity continued to increase, while the Chen Kingdom revealed more and more of its trump cards.
It wasn't until later that everyone was astonished to discover that the Chen Kingdom was so powerful that even when Heavenly King Linlang deployed all his heavenly soldiers except for the Thunder Battle Division to the battlefield, he still couldn't gain an overwhelming advantage.
Within the Heavenly Emperor City of the Haotian Empire.
"Bai Yu, what's the situation with Flying Dragon Pass? You still can't take it?"
In front of the Heavenly King Linlang, the Primordial Spirit images of several divine generals were lined up in a row, with the one on the far left being the Divine General Baiyu was attacking Flying Dragon Pass.
"Your Excellency, the main problem is that the Mountain Army's defenses are simply too strong, and we don't want to take any risks, which is why it has dragged on for so long."
Your subordinate guarantees that, at most another half month, I will be able to capture Flying Dragon Pass and give you an explanation, sir!
Divine General Baiyu one knee and solemnly promised.
Even with the Mountain Army present, how could they possibly stop you?
"Just based on that puppet capable of performing Divine Skill?"
Heavenly King Linlang shook his head, a look of disappointment on his face.
He had read Bai Yu's battle report and knew that a God Level puppet capable of using Divine Skill had appeared at Flying Dragon Pass, but he did not expect that a puppet could hold off Divine General Baiyu for so long, which was simply unreasonable.
"Yes! Lady Linlang, I only recently found out about it myself."
That wasn't a puppet, but a combat Rune Artifacts piloted by a person; the people of the Chen Kingdom called it a mecha.
Although mechs had been on the battlefield long ago, the Heavenly Court always encountered all sorts of strange weapons during its conquests of the heavens. They didn't need to understand the principles of every single weapon; knowing their general characteristics was enough.
The gods of Heavenly Court had always regarded the mechs as some kind of special puppets, until Bai Yu explained it to them, and they suddenly realized the truth.
"The strength of a mech depends heavily on the pilot inside."
As far as I know, the mech that appeared at Flying Dragon Pass is definitely the strongest mech in the Chen Kingdom at present. Although I can defeat it, it will be very difficult to kill it.
After Bai Yu finished speaking, the Divine General Yeyue beside him also spoke up, because he had encountered another God Level mech.
"In that case, I have also encountered a powerful mech."
However, it was much weaker than the one Bai Yu mentioned. I injured it in just three moves, and it only managed to escape my pursuit by using a teleportation talisman.
After the explanation from Divine General Yeyue, Heavenly King Linlang finally understood that this was a secret weapon of the Chen Kingdom, limited in quantity and not easy to cultivate.
"Very well! Bai Yu, you continue to take Flying Dragon Pass."
Yeyue, the battle report says you've also encountered some trouble recently. Could you elaborate?
The Heavenly King Linlang turned his gaze to Divine General Yeyue.
"My subordinates have already captured one city, two capitals, and hundreds of smaller towns, and have not encountered any major obstacles."
However, when they attacked the third capital city, they discovered that the battle had reached a stalemate.
The enemy possesses a long-range, consumable weapon called a "missile." If our sky soldiers and regular soldiers become too far apart, they will launch missiles at the areas where the regular soldiers are gathered.
We can only disperse our forces to defend against missile attacks, but that would leave us with insufficient troops for the siege.
Currently, Chen Kingdom has only had one truly powerful God Level expert who has actually made a move, and that is the Albino Black Tortoise " Baxia ".
Baxia currently guarding East River Pass and Divine General Huangyan under the command of Heavenly King Linlang. He has no time to spare for anything else.
Therefore, Divine General Yeyue led a high-level celestial army that was invincible. Even when the Chen Kingdom sent the Five Elements Army to resist him, they were still forced to retreat continuously.
"The fact that they can throw long-range weapons with such precision shows that they really know your whereabouts very well."
It seems I need to get the Talisman Department Clan to speed up the clearing of the Gale Belt, otherwise this battle will be really tough!
Heavenly King Linlang could not possibly be unaware of missiles, a type of weapon of mass destruction that the Chen Kingdom was so well-known for.
However, missiles also have their weaknesses. For example, they cannot distinguish between friend and foe, making them unsuitable for close-range warfare. If they are to be launched over long distances, the exact location of the target must be known.
The way Heavenly King Linlang dealt with it was to destroy all of the Chen Kingdom's rune satellites. Without Rune Artifacts devices to detect its location, the threat of the missiles was greatly reduced.
