Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 386 - 374 Awakening and Concern, Charismatic Personality; The City Wall and Two Million Armored Soldiers! The Advantage of the Human Race
Chapter 386: Chapter 374 Awakening and Concern, Charismatic Personality; The City Wall and Two Million Armored Soldiers! The Advantage of the Human Race
Lin Zhong dared to defy military regulations to give Chu Feng a break, then the Commander of the Western War Zone, Yin Ming, would dare to defy military orders to deal with him—this was indisputable.
In the face of this, Chu Feng had no good solution, the military order had already been issued, and he must make a trip to the Western War Zone, and he had to stay there for at least one month.
He sighed softly, "I hope I can make some name for myself in the Eastern and Central War Zones, so that the West might be a bit more wary of me. That way, my situation might be a bit better."
Li Jian laughed, "On that point, the brothers of the Far East Defense Line have never had any doubts.
"There are many strong guys in the Central War Zone, but they have never seen someone with your kind of astonishing talent. You, my boy, will definitely make a name for yourself!"
"I’ll take Li’s good words!"
Chu Feng smiled and sized up Li Jian, suddenly realizing that Lin Zhong had sent him to escort him all the way, likely wanting to use Li Jian’s mouth to give him a wake-up call.
People like Li Jian, who had complex experiences, clear minds, and an especially cryptic way of speaking, were probably quite rare and had seemingly been prepared specially for him.
It was to let him learn some inside information on the road in advance, so as not to suffer too much.
"Thank you, Li, for the explanation today, Commander Lin treats me well!" he suddenly sighed deeply.
Li Jian glanced at him, and was not surprised by his sudden sentiment, but only laughed, "You’re right.
"I’ve been in the army for more than a decade, and I’ve never seen Commander Lin so concerned about anyone.
"Young brother, I’m advising you personally, even though you’ve left, your heart should still be with our Eastern War Zone.
"After all, no matter how much other war zones value you, they won’t treat you like their own main lineage like Commander Lin does."
Chu Feng nodded silently, and once again remembered the impulse that surged in his heart when the military orders were read out, willing to lay down his life and shed his blood for Lin Zhong.
’Old Lin’s personal charm can sometimes be pretty hard to resist...’ he muttered in his heart.
...
The military vehicle sped along, kicking up two long trails of dust on the dry grassland and Gobi, stretching for hundreds of meters.
Not until a faint black line suddenly appeared at the edge of sight.
The black line was buried in the very faint mist of the Demon Battlefield, indiscernible to most, but with Chu Feng’s martial artist vision, he immediately noticed it.
The black line looked extremely thin, yet it was incredibly long, and as the car approached, its presence became stronger.
Li Jian noticed Chu Feng’s gaze, looked in the same direction and laughed, "That’s our destination, the main base of the Demon Extermination Army in the Eastern War Zone.
"That black line is the base’s wall, also the last line of defense against the Demon Clan’s assault from the north.
"But there’s an old saying, ’the mountains are wearisome to climb,’ it seems close, but it will still take several hours to reach that place, so you can continue to rest for a while, young brother."
But Chu Feng had no mind to rest; watching that black line become clearer, his eyes opened wider and wider, "Li, just how big is the Eastern War Zone’s base?"
Simply because the closer they got, the longer that black line seemed to become.
Chu Feng roughly estimated and was shocked by its length.
By his reckoning, the wall was at least hundreds of kilometers long!
This seemed a bit absurd—just how large was the Eastern War Zone base area? Over a thousand square kilometers?
Just how many soldiers were hidden inside!
Hearing this, Li Jian laughed, "Don’t be scared by the length of this wall.
"We are coming from the north, facing the direction of the northern Demon Clan, so the wall is very long, roughly around one hundred and twenty kilometers.
"However, the base behind it is rectangular with limited width, it’s not as big as it seems."
Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, that’s not too bad then.
Li Jian continued to laugh, "There are about six hundred thousand warriors stationed inside, all elite soldiers from our Eastern War Zone."
"There are also about one and a half million warriors stationed at various critical locations throughout the entire Eastern War Zone, and they don’t often come back."
"...Six hundred thousand? Including those outside, there are more than two million!"
Chu Feng inhaled sharply, This was an army made up of more than two million martial artists!
The Eastern War Zone... No, were the Longhua Human Race really this powerful?
Just one Eastern War Zone possessed an army of armored soldiers numbering up to two million and one hundred thousand?
"Is that a lot? You should know that by eliminating 12 camps, the number of large and small demon beasts you killed amounted to over a million!"
"In the Eastern War Zone, the number of the Demon Clan is roughly nearly ten times that of ours."
Li Jian shook his head, "Compared with the Demon Clan, our manpower is still somewhat inadequate."
Chu Feng was taken aback; recalling the composition of the demon clans he had slaughtered in the camps, he slowly realized:
"The Demon Clan has a wide variety of species, many of which are relatively weak, and the weaker the demon beast, the stronger their reproductive ability, which is why their numbers appear so large.
"This must be why two million warriors in the Eastern War Zone can withstand ten times the number of enemies."
"The reason you mentioned is one of them, but there are two more," Li Jian said with a smile, "One is that humans are more proficient at using tools than the Demon Clan.
"Although firearms and explosives can only be used outside the Domain, and they become ineffective once brought in,
"How smart are we Longhua people? We quickly improvised on the Demon Battlefield, using locally available materials to discover many usable explosives.
"For example, bombs made from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with Fire Attributes, and so on,
"Even the fuel for the cars we drive now is made from a highly combustible ore found within the battlefield.
"Although the effect of these bombs made from materials within the Domain is nowhere near as powerful as high explosives from the outside world, they can still inflict considerable damage on low-tier members of the Demon Clan.
"Especially when sweeping through those teeming, ant-like little demon beasts, the effect is great!
"It’s just ineffective against high-realm Demon Clan members."
Chu Feng slapped his forehead, laughing, "I should have thought of this earlier.
"Back when I was clearing out demon camps, I definitely used the timed detonation devices provided by the logistics manufacturing department to make timed poison gas bombs.
"But I never considered why those timed detonation devices would work within the Domain."
Li Jian nodded, "It’s normal, you’ve just become a seasoned martial artist, accustomed to attributing all power to yourself.
"On the cursed Demon Battlefield, explosives have become a supplementary tool, no longer the main means of killing the enemy.
"The most efficient way to kill members of the Demon Clan is still to chop them down with weapons forged from our special steel."
He continued, "The second reason has to do with the organizational strength of our army! The more we have, the stronger our army’s combat power!
"With communication terminals, when launching legion combat, the warriors on the frontlines can receive immediate commands from the rear and flexibly change their formations, targeting the weaknesses of the Demon Clan’s camps."
He sneered, "Currently, the Demon Clan is still at the ’commands rely on shouting’ primitive stage, and there’s a cross-era gap in tactical command compared to us.
"If they weren’t more prolific breeders than us, physically stronger, and the Demon Clan weren’t tying up a lot of our military strength, they would have been completely cut down long ago!"
However, he hesitated for a moment before suddenly saying, "But it’s different with the Demon Clan.
"According to some of my old comrades, the Demon Clan seems to have already devised countermeasures and eavesdropping techniques against our communication devices, so the Demon Annihilation Army has already forbidden the use of information terminals to transmit military intelligence on the battlefield."
Chu Feng listened quietly, his expression growing solemn upon hearing about the Demon Clan’s methods.
He once again reinforced his conviction: the Demon Clan, they were the true enemy of humanity!
If not for the Demon Clan’s containment, given the nature of these uncivilized wild beasts of the Demon Clan, they would probably have been reduced to protected animals, kept in reserves by now!
After the descent of the Monster Realm, if a martial god-level figure could emerge from humanity...
One might even attempt to counter-attack the Monster Realm, capturing a Demon God alive, and creating a colony in an alternative world!
