Chapter 901 The Deterrence Ends
Chapter 901 The Deterrence Ends
"General, everyone is here."
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the quartermaster nodded, then said loudly:
"Departure."
Hidden in the pile of meat, Chen Cheng could feel the cart begin to move, and at the same time, the military camp's detection array quickly swept towards the convoy.
Fortunately, Chen Cheng's divine domain was open, and he immediately shielded his aura after noticing it.
"General, the monster meat is fine, you can leave the camp now."
Chen Cheng, who was hiding in the pile of meat, let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he was vigilant enough, and the divine realm was always open, otherwise he would have been exposed just now.
It seems this detection array also has a scanning and inspection function; this is the first time I've known that.
Chen Cheng thought to himself.
Meanwhile, the military logistics department launched a team that was just as capable as the previous one in transporting military supplies. Although the amount of supplies being transported was the same as last time, the number of armored soldiers responsible for the escort had doubled.
At the same time, the equipment on these soldiers and the killing intent emanating from their faces and eyes were enough to prove that this was definitely not a logistics unit, but a powerful elite force.
The Marquis of Zhenbei, dressed in a full suit of black divine armor, arrived at the camp gate.
When the logistics convoy arrived at the camp gate, a fierce general with a bloodthirsty aura stepped out from behind him.
"My lord, this humble general will certainly not fail your expectations this time."
The Marquis of Zhenbei nodded slightly on his strong face and said:
"Remember that this time, we must cooperate fully and stay put. We absolutely cannot allow the Great Wall Army to make any other moves."
Clearly, this was not just a logistical support mission. It seems that the garrisons of these major kingdoms wanted to retaliate against the intimidation posed by Ye Rong's sword strike.
Chen Cheng, who had been using the Divine Realm, clearly heard the Marquis of Zhenbei's instructions, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
It seems the Great Wall Army is really having a tough time. Will I be able to achieve my goals this time?
If it were before, Chen Cheng might not have had so many hesitations, but after seeing the garrisons of these major kingdoms, Chen Cheng really didn't have much hope for the Great Wall Army, this isolated force that had persisted for nearly two hundred years.
"Set off."
Blood Fiend mounted his snow wolf rider, brandished his giant axe, and shouted.
Immediately afterwards, the massive Snow Wolf Cavalry force of over 20,000 men set off towards the Great Wall, escorting logistical supplies.
Similarly, the same thing was happening at the garrison locations of the other four kingdoms.
This time, the five kingdoms dispatched five epic-level peak powerhouses, all of whom had risen through the ranks in battle, along with 20,000 of their most elite troops from each kingdom.
A total of 100,000 elite troops are pressing in.
Furthermore, when needed, each of these 20,000 elite troops, along with their commanders, could unleash demigod-level combat power.
If they could hold them off for even a moment, the garrison troops of the five kingdoms behind them could immediately launch the most ferocious attack on the Great Wall Army from the rear.
Their goal was to eliminate the intimidation posed by Ye Rong's sword strike, and at the same time, to become the tip of the Great Wall Army's back blade, completely suppressing the Great Wall Army's living space.
Watching Xue Sha and his group disappear into the distance, a look of relief appeared on Zhenbei Hou's strong face.
Finally, after nearly two hundred years, Ye Rong finally unleashed that sword strike.
Although that sword strike was powerful, the combined strength of the entire army was enough to block it.
This is similar to a super weapon; before it is used and its damage cannot be estimated, it is the strongest deterrent.
However, once the strongest weapon has been used and its power has been assessed, its deterrent effect will be greatly reduced.
Because the enemy can find weaknesses through estimation and judgment, and then come up with the best solution.
The reason why the Great Wall Army was able to stand firm in the northern border for nearly two hundred years was because of Ye Rong's deterrence.
"My lord, when the logistics department was procuring monster meat just now, a large amount of low-level monster meat was resold. We have supplemented the shortage with high-level monster meat."
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the Marquis of Zhenbei turned around and said:
"Do I have to tell you what military law is?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei's voice was completely undisguised, and everyone present heard it clearly. It was obvious that the Marquis of Zhenbei, the commander-in-chief, was about to officially break ties with Governor Ailaf.
In the past, many people might have just watched and observed, but after Ye Rong drew his sword this time, they all knew that Governor Ailaf was doomed to defeat.
The reason why Ai Lafu was asked to restrain Zhenbei Hou was because the Great Wall Army still posed a threat, and it was unknown how long it would take to deal with the Great Wall Army.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Marquis of Zhenbei from becoming too powerful in the northern border, Ailav was able to challenge him.
Now that the deterrent effect has disappeared and the time has come to annihilate the Great Wall Army, King Engela XIII would not possibly try to trip up the Prince of Zhenbei at this time.
Because they weren't the only ones aiming to destroy the Great Wall Army; there were four other groups as well.
If his interference results in him getting less of the spoils from the Great Wall Army in the end, then he will have suffered a greater loss than gain.
So just as the fat man under Aylaf was about to open the fur warehouse and leave with Chen Cheng and the others, the military law officers came knocking on the door first.
Then, ignoring the fat man's shouts and threats, he was beheaded in front of everyone.
Several other high-ranking military officers who had been won over by Elaf also died with him.
Meanwhile, inside the transport convoy, Chen Cheng, swaying unsteadily, could no longer sustain the energy expenditure required to maintain the Divine Realm. He drifted off to sleep due to excessive mental exhaustion.
"Threshing the grain, hey-ya-hey, swing your arms up, hey-ya-hey, swing your arms and smash it down, hey-ya-hey..."
On the threshing floor, a group of peasant women dressed in hemp clothing held threshing sticks in their hands, singing and shouting as they threshed out golden grains of rice.
"Child Lyca, where did you hunt this magical beast from? Be careful, or the clan leader will scold you again."
"Auntie, I saw this magical beast by the roadside, I didn't go looking for it on purpose."
"Aren't you afraid that this beast will see how beautiful our place is and want to settle down here? If it does, I'll just slaughter him."
By this time, Leica had grown into a young man, over 1.8 meters tall, with clearly defined muscles.
Lyca carried the demon god towards the village, and passersby would always offer a few words of praise upon seeing her.
"The Divine Child is truly amazing; he managed to hunt this giant all by himself."
At this time, the village's houses have also undergone tremendous changes. They are no longer the low stone houses of my childhood, but have become taller, better-lit half-stone and half-wood structures.
At the same time, the people's clothing changed from animal skins to cloths woven from fibers such as kudzu and hemp.
The production economy also shifted from primitive hunting to planting and animal husbandry, and the production tools also transitioned from the original stone and bone tools to the semi-iron age.
All of the tribe's development is due to Lyca organizing the knowledge that suddenly appeared in her mind over the past few years.
Most importantly, the tribe's cultivation power shifted from ancient shamanism to magic, and Lyca became the tribe's strongest warrior.
