"Alright, Boss!" Green Tide responded without hesitation. As the most beloved instructor among the students with no airs, Green Tide had always been popular in the training camp, acting like a big brother. Ian wasn’t worried about any mistakes from him because Green Tide’s son had recently immigrated from Whale Song Cliff, showing great potential and getting selected into the training camp as a second-phase mber.
"Roland, continue the work at Great Snow Peak. I’m entrusting the entire Ironman Construction Team to you. Work around the clock to quickly establish a perpetual core. War is now; the Holy Ground is the future."
"Old Farrel, your lifespan is nearing its limit."
Ian looked to the other side of the eting room and sternly advised, "For the ti being, focus on writing insights in the lab. Currently, our territory doesn’t have any examples of Artificial Soul Bearers dying of natural causes, and as an official of the territory, you must be ntally prepared — death is not retirent, understand?"
Though what he said didn’t sound like human words, both Roland and Old Farrel laughed. They stood up and saluted Ian, "We guarantee the completion of the mission, Sir!"
Finally, Ian turned his head to look at the eager Sio.
The True Dragon wore an excited expression of ’What about , what about ?’ as Ian thought for a mont, "You... go accompany your mother and Miss Hua’an, and Frost Butterfly and the others. Frozen Fish Tutor has gone to the Southern Sea to help transport the Fae, so be ready for the reception work."
"Alright, Ian!"
Though it was sowhat forced, the task was indeed quite important, so Sio walked away happily.
After dealing with everything within his territory, Ian frowned, sitting at his desk, looking at various reports in hand.
In comparison to the current larger context, the deaths of that batch of minor nobility from various places on the skyship, and the damage to the shelter tower in the Xiawei Territory, were not even considered a crisis.
Although the foundation ritual did not end perfectly, all parties witnessed in person that the Supre Spirit Sect had mastered the technology of Artificial Spirit Users. The emissary teams residing in the Supre Spirit Building also witnessed the skyship’s crash and the defense power of Xiahui City’s Shelter Array from above.
That several dozen-story building sohow didn’t turn into a target destroyed by the enemy. Just this point alone was enough to make the Supre Spirit Building a monuntal landmark — as long as it stood, the people of Xiahui City wouldn’t lose hope.
Not to ntion, later, Adalbert transford into the Giant of Light, which significantly boosted the territory’s reputation. Even on the day of the attack, Ian was asked by a group of people, ’What exactly is this technology?’ ’How much would it cost to collaborate?’ with such questions.
In terms of impression, if not for the current war between The Empire and Fiery Fla Land, Ian’s publicity effort alone could have secured cooperation with at least four or five forces and several waves of investnt.
While other forces might have better defensive formations than the Shelter Array, could The Empire internally not have smaller shield generators modeled after the Imperial Capital? At least Ian knew that the latest generation of armor suits was generally equipped with small shield generators; aside from high energy consumption, they had no downsides.
Even then, there’s never too much technical reserve of such things.
"The truly critical issue is that the Western Territory defense line has been ’dismbered’."
Looking at the map projected by the Heart of Terra, Ian frowned, painting large patches of crimson in the region between Western Territory and South Ridge.
Under the scorched earth tactics of Fiery Fla Land, the fortress group in the western region was bypassed by Fiery Fla Land from the Domain of Void of Duke Sorin’s Domain — even in the mountains, there’s a barrier in the Domain of Void, but the rebellion of Duke Sorin created a gap in this barrier.
The Inferior Demon Legion, utilizing their elusive mobility, pinpointed the destruction of all supply routes to the fortress group, massacring all villages and cities along the way.
Because the Demon Legion doesn’t need supplies or to capture anyone alive for intelligence, and without morals, they could easily conduct such a scorched earth tactic.
The Demon Legion could even generate massive resentnt, infecting the Domain of Void, potentially creating so ’big thing’ in secret... at the very least, it would be another Fourth Energy Level monster if all goes as expected.
Within just a week, the Demon Legion destroyed all existing forces that didn’t retreat to the big cities in Western Territory, except for those villages located in forests and mountains. All the small towns around the official road have turned into uninhabited areas.
The death toll likely exceeds a million.
This is real war.
By now, the Demon Legion’s Soldier Bee points directly to the Golden Plains. Their target, without a doubt, is South Ridge, and even more certain, the ’Silverpeak Domain.’
And this is not the end.
The Demon Legion is the technology of one of the two great bloodlines of Fiery Fla Land, the ’Nemasis Bloodline.’
While the Abassalom Bloodline is the one truly confronting the Western Legion.
When Nemasis invaded the western hinterland of The Empire, the kings of Abassalom had already deployed the royal legions, engaging in overwhelmingly brutal attrition warfare with the western fortress group, sparing no cost, no regard for lives or ammunition.
Their aim is to, when the western fortress group runs out of supplies, exhaust the resources of the Western Legion as fast as possible and then consu and annihilate all combat and existing forces in the western region of The Empire.
"Marquis Barton, what about our trump card?"
While Ian signed several docunts, he instructed the Heart of Terra to connect him with Marquis Barton, "Don’t tell we need to use the forces of the dilapidated countryside of South Ridge to block the demons. Does the Nineteenth Legion and South Sea Fleet have any force unknown to ?"
