Ling Feng inspected camp by camp. Although it wasn’t possible to rember every soldier, at least he had to recognize all his subordinates at the Commander Level to avoid the embarrassnt of not rembering nas during command.
However, when Ling Feng reached the War Preparatory Camp, he encountered an incredibly familiar face, and his eyelid twitched.
"It’s you!"
In the War Preparatory Camp, a soldier standing in the first row behind the Deputy Commander was none other than the green-clad girl he had t at the Hundred Battle Arena that day!
Only, Ling Feng still didn’t know her na.
"Hehe! Surprised? Unexpected?"
Yan Chuchu narrowed her crescent-shaped eyes and smiled at Ling Feng. Her appearance inherently carried a bit of heroism, and dressed in military attire, she exuded a special charm.
Ling Feng’s forehead turned black as he looked towards the Commander of the War Preparatory Camp and asked in a deep voice, "Commander Bai, is this soldier under your command?"
Commander Bai hurriedly nodded, "Yes!"
Ling Feng frowned, about to say sothing when he heard Yan Chuchu’s voice.
"Why, I’m a dual cultivator of Thunder and Earth, perfectly eting General Ling’s requirents!"
Yan Chuchu grinned broadly, utterly lacking awareness as she cheerfully said, "So, General Ling, are you promoting to Deputy General?"
Ling Feng gave her a sidelong glance, responding irritably, "Since you were selected into the War Preparatory Camp for eting the requirents, you should do well under Commander Bai. Once you achieve rit, promotion will naturally follow."
With that said, Ling Feng turned around and left without looking back.
The woman’s cultivation was not bad, and since she was in a relatively safe place like the War Preparatory Camp, Ling Feng didn’t bother to pursue who she was or what her identity might be.
"Hey, hey, hey, how can you just leave like that? Is this how you’re supposed to be? Didn’t I tell you about Linghu Yudao’s prowess? If you beat him, half of the credit goes to ! Hey, hey, are you really leaving?"
Watching Ling Feng’s back, Yan Chuchu stomped her feet angrily, "Damn it, I’m so mad at you!"
Commander Bai looked back at Yan Chuchu with a wry smile, "Oh my little lady, please calm down. If you upset General Ling, I might also bear the brunt and get punished with a military baton!"
"Hmph!" Yan Chuchu glared at Commander Bai indignantly and said through gritted teeth, "Anyway, I gave you ten thousand Elental Crystals. Even if you suffer for , it’s no big deal."
Commander Bai smiled bitterly; those ten thousand Elental Crystals were not easy to earn!
In fact, Yan Chuchu had approached him herself. Compared to other places, the War Preparatory Camp’s inspection was sowhat lenient. By giving so Elental Crystals to Commander Bai, she naturally beca a mber of the camp.
After all, amidst hundreds of thousands of soldiers, who cared about having one more or one less?
Facing this wealthy and powerful young lady, Commander Bai was utterly without temper.
"Alright, alright, I’ve already helped you pass by. After this, it’s none of my business." Commander Bai said through gritted teeth.
"You wish! You still have to help figure out General Ling’s habits and preferences."
"So, Miss Chu, you like General Ling? Hehe, indeed, beauties have always loved heroes!"
Commander Bai said with an awkward smile.
In fact, there were quite a few female soldiers who had joined the War Preparatory Camp out of admiration for Ling Feng. Was the trend of won chasing n already in vogue?
Indeed, I must be getting old and out of touch with the tis.
"Ugh, who likes him!"
Yan Chuchu glared at Commander Bai fiercely, "I just find him interesting and am curious about him."
"A great man once said, wonderful love begins with curiosity."
Commander Bai said slowly, with an air of having seen through everything.
"Nonsense!" Yan Chuchu’s face reddened for no reason, "I’ve never heard of such a great man."
"That great man is none other than yours truly." Commander Bai said with an awkward smile.
"Get lost!"
Yan Chuchu glared at Commander Bai with a murderous look, scaring him so much that he shrunk his neck and dared not reply further.
...
The next day, under Ling Feng’s command, the Sky Peak Camp and the Black Armored Cavalry Army’s thirty-thousand-strong force, a grand total of over two hundred thousand troops, set off from Tianmang Fortress.
It was the first ti Ling Feng had formally commanded an army of over ten thousand in a battle, and he was sowhat nervous.
However, having previously conducted a sand table exercise with the Northwest Army and with the assistance of Huo Yuanyi and Xu Zhongda, the more than two hundred thousand troops set out early and by dusk had reached the essential path to the Black Water Plain, Grey Wolf Ridge.
The army camped at Grey Wolf Ridge, preparing to set out early the next day, estimating they’d reach Black Water Plain around noon to join the garrison originally stationed in the area.
After more than ten fierce battles, the strongholds around Black Water Plain had mostly been purged by the Demon Clan, leaving little support aside from so scattered forces.
It could be said that Ling Feng had to rely solely on his two hundred thousand troops for this grand battle; beyond that, there was essentially no other support.
"All rest, camp in place!"
Ling Feng’s orders were quickly relayed down, and under his command, the over two hundred thousand troops moved in an orderly fashion.
With sentry posts and defensive lines set up, dusk gradually fell. Although they were half a day from the Black Water Plain battlefield, they could not afford to be complacent.
...
Black Water River Basin.
Beneath this turbulent river, there was a dense array of buildings, ho to a large number of Water Elent beasts and the Demon Clan.
In the Black Water Plain battlefield, this Water Clan was the main force of the grand battle. Concealed in the water, they could move silently; even King-level experts struggled to detect any traces.
Relying on this ability, the giant stones managed to successfully assassinate nurous Tianmang Fortress generals, causing chaos within the Human Clan army’s morale, leading to their downfall without a fight.
At this mont, in a rather luxurious Crystal Palace, a middle-aged man with an imposing deanor was listening to the report brought back by a spy.
This middle-aged man was the clan leader of the Water Elent Demon Clan, the Black Jiao Demon King.
Of course, Black Jiao was a title he claid for himself. At most, he was a water snake with Dragon Horns, claiming to be a Jiao Long with the slightest trace of Jiao Clan lineage, so faint it couldn’t be any thinner.
Though his bloodline wasn’t particularly powerful, by relying on the Black Water River, he was still the overlord of the Black Water Plain area, answering the call of the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor, having consecutively killed over a hundred thousand Human Clan troops in Black Water Plain, which was a minor rit.
"Two hundred thousand Human Clan troops, including the Black Armored Cavalry Army?"
The Black Jiao Demon King frowned slightly. It seed like the humans were determined for a head-on clash with our Water Clan this ti.
