"Chu Tai... peak seven-star, commanding a total of 30,000 men, with soldiers averaging around five-star level..."
"How can there be so few? Shouldn't there be over 100,000 troops stationed here? And Chu Tai... how did someone at the peak of the Seven Stars level become a general?"
Bu Liuqing found it hard to believe. A general must be at least eight stars, isn't that a fact generally acknowledged in the south? Could he possibly have eight-star combat power?
"In the recent Divine Seal Space War... a total of 400,000 troops from Huainan City participated in that battle under the leadership of General Ji Fangyi."
In the end, General Ji Fangyi was killed in battle, all eight of his generals perished, and the remaining 300,000 troops were scattered and incorporated into other legions.
After a three-month battle, they finally turned the tide under the leadership of Marshal Nangong Hao. Of course, the help of the Zhongzhou Military Region was also indispensable. That time also happened to be the time when the Gene Star had problems.
Following this was the integration and relocation of various units. Of those units that were willing to return, only 230,000 remained. Moreover, the war to recapture the lost territories began immediately afterward, and many responded to Marshal Nangong Hao's call to rejoin the expedition.
This wave of evacuations resulted in the loss of 70,000 men. Later, when the military headquarters encountered danger, surrounding cities sent troops to provide support, resulting in the loss of another 50,000 men.
Furthermore, the troops rotating from the south also reached Huainan City, which was Marshal Nangong Hao's rear area, so another 80,000 men were dispatched there...
The integrated reserves have also been incorporated into our current army, so there are no reinforcements here...
Shangguan Ziyi's words made the generals present frown. Should they support the main force or go back to save Huainan City?
How many troops would be needed to rescue Huainan City?
If they don't go to rescue Huainan City, how long can they hold out?
The key point is that they had just set out on the expedition when this unexpected event occurred, as General Nangong Hao at the front was waiting for their arrival.
Military orders are absolute; changing them overnight is no child's play!
We must provide support, regardless of whether the front lines are in a superior or inferior position. We must also provide support to Huainan City, otherwise, once the city falls, the troops at the front will have no way to retreat.
"If I send the Nine Stars Force..."
Before Bu Liuqing could finish speaking, Shangguan Ziyi interrupted him.
"No... We were originally the main force heading to provide support. After learning that magical beasts and demons might participate in the upcoming decisive battle, diverting nine stars of our forces would only make things worse..."
We always have to prepare for the worst, right?
"Um..."
Just as everyone was in silent contemplation, a secret letter from the Heavenly Mystery Sect was brought in by a messenger.
"Report! The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Mystery Sect of the Sect Alliance has sent an urgent message."
Everyone was shocked and immediately opened the secret letter, which then exploded, revealing everything that the Supreme Elder Gua Jiuchen had manifested.
Before the operation, the Tianji Sect had even consulted the oracle to predict the fate of the army, and the divination result was excellent.
However, not long after, when the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Gua Jiuchen, was calming his mind, he suddenly felt uneasy and immediately began to divine the matter of Wei Sha and Casey!
To be precise, it was because traces of magical beasts and demons were discovered that a portion of the secrets hidden above them were removed, which is why...!
In the unfolding scene, General Chu Tai of Huainan City was killed in battle, all his soldiers were sacrificed, and the city of Huainan, with a population of over ten million, was breached, leaving countless families broken and dead. Even though the dozens of sects in Huainan City did their best to resist, it was all in vain.
If they were demons, that would be fine, but the problem is that the ones attacking Huainan City are all demonic beasts!
The sheer number of monsters completely blocked the arrival of reinforcements. If they didn't send troops over in time... the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Ultimately, it's a matter of how many troops to allocate. Commander Shangguan can lead the original reserve forces from Huainan, and..."
Before Bu Liuqing could finish speaking, the image of the Supreme Elder Gua Jiuchen suddenly appeared.
"However... the situation on the main battlefield is also not optimistic."
Gua Jiuchen displayed a large army composed of Bu Liuqing and Shangguan Ziyi, but they ran headlong into the demon army that was blocking their way. Meanwhile, Nangong Hao and his troops nearby were besieged by the Third Alien Realm and demonic beasts, and their situation was extremely precarious!
Everyone was stunned by what they saw. Was the future of the three companies cooperating really happening?
Moreover, judging from this, even if Bu Liuqing and Shangguan Ziyi organized the entire army to go there, they still couldn't provide timely assistance?
"This line... is the consequence of everyone failing to discover the traces of demons and magical beasts. Now there is still a chance."
The conversation with Gua Jiuchen ended there, and the image of the person gradually disappeared from the spot.
Wisa scoffed when he saw this.
Is this a calculation based on lifespan deduction, or the secrets of the Heavenly Secrets Sect, known for its succinct use of words?
