Upon arriving on the Pan Emperor Continent, the Heavenly King Linlang used his powerful divine sense to detect several rune satellites spying on him and destroyed them all.
Therefore, he always thought that Chen Kingdom's rune satellites would not be difficult to deal with. However, he did not expect that even after he had the people of the Talisman Department deal with the rune satellites for more than a month, the Talisman Department still had not given him a satisfactory result.
" Ziyu, is your situation similar to Yeyue's?"
"Yes."
Divine General Ziyu bowed slightly and said respectfully.
Like Divine General Yeyue, he led a high-level celestial army to sweep across the Chen Kingdom, and so far has not encountered any major obstacles.
However, the front is currently under threat from missiles, and the advance is extremely slow.
"Alright! Let it be slow then! There's no need to rush."
Although the battle did not go as smoothly as Heavenly King Linlang had anticipated, it was still within his plan.
Although the threat of missiles forces the two generals to divide their forces to defend the captured cities, as long as they hold out for a period of time, anti-aircraft weapons will be built in the cities, and the divided forces can naturally be withdrawn.
Missiles can only slow down the advance of the Heavenly Court army, but cannot fundamentally change the course of the battle. What Heavenly King Linlang cares about is how to take down Chen Kingdom with the least amount of losses. As for taking more time, he doesn't care at the moment.
He felt that the most important thing now was to get the Talisman Department to produce results as soon as possible, because in addition to the problems mentioned by the four divine generals, there were several other things in the Chen Kingdom that were giving him a headache.
For example, Chen Kingdom's Super Spacetime Corps appeared and disappeared without a trace, appearing in key locations several times and causing huge casualties to the Heavenly Court Army.
Fortunately, due to their unique techniques and small numbers, the Super Spacetime Corps has been unable to form a battle formation to this day. Currently, they are mainly used for harassment and rescue, and dare not confront the Heavenly Army Legion, which has formed a battle formation, head-on.
Otherwise, this Super Spacetime Corps would be a far greater threat than ten celestial legions.
In addition, Chen Kingdom's warships maintained their air superiority, the Talisman Puppet robots provided Chen Kingdom with a large number of cannon fodder and super infrastructure capabilities, and the Mutant Demon Beast Corps was also difficult to deal with once it went berserk.
Heavenly King Linlang had been hoping that the Talisman Department could find a way to counter these special troops, but unfortunately, none of the Talisman Department they had come up with so far had worked, which greatly annoyed Heavenly King Linlang.
"These useless bunch! They take away so many rare and precious herbs every month, do they just feed them to dogs?"
As the logistics department of the Heavenly Court, the Talisman Department generally only needs to deliver finished products such as talismans, pills, and magic weapons to the Heavenly Court on a regular basis and in a fixed quantity. They rarely participate in the battlefield.
Therefore, Heavenly King Linlang rarely dealt with the Talisman Department. Unexpectedly, this time he finally managed to transfer more than a hundred people from the Talisman Department, but none of them were of any use. They stayed in the Heavenly Emperor City every day, and it was unknown whether they were actually doing anything.
Heavenly Emperor City, Talisman Immortal Hall.
This palace was originally called the Talisman Emperor Hall, but after Long Bo learned that the Heavenly Court would send people from the Talisman Department to the mortal realm, he transferred all the original royal talisman masters away, renovated the place, and renamed it the Talisman Immortal Hall.
The art of runes has always had a huge influence in the cultivation world. So even though there aren't many people in the Heavenly Court who cultivate the Dao of Talismans, there is still a Talisman Department. In fact, the previous Heavenly Emperor even spent a lot of money to invite a Divine Realm rune master to serve as the head of the Talisman Department.
However, that Divine Realm talisman master travels far and wide and rarely stays in the Nine Heavens Realm, so naturally, the Heavenly King Linlang was unable to invite him this time.
Currently, the Talisman Immortal Hall is led by four Transformation Realm Talisman Masters. One of them is skilled in talisman making, two are skilled in weapon crafting, and one is skilled in alchemy. They were all specially dispatched to deal with the Chen Kingdom after careful consideration.
"Fellow Daoists, Heavenly King Linlang has sent another message urging us to hurry up!"
I wonder how your progress is? Do you have any way to clean up Chen Kingdom's 'satellite'?
The rune satellite of the Chen Kingdom has been around for two or three decades, and its name has naturally spread far and wide. Therefore, the rune masters here also Chen Kingdom the high-altitude detection Rune Artifacts of Chen Kingdom 'satellite'.
"It's tough! Senior Huanhuai, although we have destroyed more than a dozen of the Chen Kingdom's satellites in the past few months."
But they are now hiding their satellites more and more covertly. If they are within the airspace of our Haotian Empire, we can still find them through a wide-ranging search.
But if it's in the Chen Kingdom's airspace, or above the border where there's a battle, we really have no way to deal with it.
The most incredible thing about rune satellites is that they can not only detect images tens of thousands of miles away, but they also passively receive images.
Techniques commonly used by cultivators, such as Divine Soul detection, spell detection, and divine eye, all require actively releasing energy to detect the target's image. If they encounter a higher-level cultivator, they can easily be detected.
However, the rune satellites passively receive external images, which are then processed by the Rune Core before being transformed into images that humans can understand.
A satellite hidden tens of thousands of miles above the atmosphere is just like an ordinary speck of dust; how can it be found?
The reason why the Heavenly King Linlang was able to detect the rune satellite probe was because the rune satellite locked onto his location. This location-locking probe would create some kind of mysterious causal relationship, thus allowing the Heavenly King Linlang to find it.
Nowadays, the Heavenly Court's Talisman Department uses a similar ability to imbue the armor or weapons of the Heavenly Army with causal-linking runes. Once a rune satellite is paying attention to them, the Talisman Department will detect it and locate the rune satellite.
However, this method is not very effective at present, because when the rune satellite was used to monitor the situation, Chen Kingdom had already obtained the information he wanted. Even if the rune satellite was destroyed later, Chen Kingdom could quickly replace it.
"What can we do? Are we, the mighty Talisman Department, just going to be helpless like this?"
Daoist Hanhui's face was grim. Among the four Transformation Realm Talisman Masters present, he was the most senior and was naturally appointed as the leader of the Talisman Department in this campaign against the Chen Kingdom. However, he did not expect to encounter so many troubles right at the beginning.
"I have an idea: to create a magical artifact that can generate large-scale dark clouds."
A satellite's line of sight is linear. If we release a large number of dark clouds over the battlefield to block its view, then the satellite will be unable to detect that area.
A master craftsman skilled in crafting Transformation Realm suggested this.
"At this point, there's no other way. Just give it a try!"
Prior to this, Talisman Department had tried several methods to block satellites, but none of them were effective.
However, Daoist Hanhui felt that this method should be feasible, since they had figured out the characteristics of the rune satellite after so many experiments.
