In the eting room, everyone was fiercely discussing the latest intelligence, preparing the next strategic plan.
"According to the reconnaissance camp's report, another batch of Beast Tars from the Exotic Region has reinforced the other side of the passage."
"Reinforced again? Just how many people do these bastards have?"
"Well, they replenished the losses from before. With the scale of Fentian Giant City, let alone tens of thousands, even millions of Beast Tars can be dispatched. The fact that they haven't sent all their Beast Tars probably ans they have limitations."
"It seems that their Beast Tars can't enter in too large numbers at the sa ti. After each battle with casualties, they would replace a portion of the Beast Tars, with the number of reinforcents roughly matching the casualties.
This indicates that there must be a limit to the number of people they can send in."
"Then why not send in more Advanced Beast Tars? If they dispatched a few hundred Advanced Beast Tars all at once, this war... wouldn't even need to be fought."
"It might be that our envoys dispatched to other Giant Cities had an effect."
Sitting to the side, Chen Xing actually knew the reason.
But he couldn't speak of it; even if he did, under the influence of so power, it would be of no consequence.
When one stands behind history and observes the shadows ahead, everything has a trace to follow.
Looking back at this war from the perspective of the future.
At this point in ti, Advanced Beast Tars originally couldn't enter Great Xia; it was only with a great sacrifice that Fentian Giant City managed to send three Advanced Beast Tars in.
While Fentian Giant City was attacking Great Xia, other Giant Cities from the Exotic Region, with which they had always had conflicts, were also exerting pressure, preventing them from committing wholeheartedly to the war.
Although Divinity Resurgence had not erupted in the Exotic Region during this period, Advanced Beast Tars in Fentian Giant City were still not so rare.
"However, with the flood, they probably won't attack for a short while. Before the next offensive, they'll likely clear out nearby reservoirs first."
"That's good, the later the war breaks out, the later people will die," a staff officer beside him remarked, muttering to himself.
Suddenly, Gu Yuzhi said, "Chen Xing, stand up."
Chen Xing stood up from his seat.
"Based on your combat achievents, after discussion by the Iron Rock Pass military departnt, during this ti of war, exceptional asures are warranted. You are hereby granted the rank of Lieutenant Colonel! And awarded the Iron Eagle dal."
Chen Xing stood up and walked to the award platform.
Gu Yuzhi handed over a brand-new uniform to Chen Xing. "There's a rest room next door where you can change."
Even though he knew this was only an Illusion Realm, when the dal and uniform were fully adorned, Chen Xing's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
Why not carry the Wu hook, and claim fifty states of mountain passes?
Who could resist the temptation of opening a new page on the family tree?
After changing into the uniform, Chen Xing's entire deanor changed.
General Qian Peiquan looked at Chen Xing with a smile, "You look much more spirited."
"Actually, your achievents rit more than a Lieutenant Colonel, but since your previous rank was low, this is an extraordinary promotion. Hence, you were also awarded an Iron Eagle dal."
"Keep it up, after this battle is over, I'll treat you to a drink," Gu Yuzhi said with a hearty laugh.
The eting ended and they exited the eting room.
Chen Xing pressed down on the brim of his cap, looking up at the sun in the sky.
Following the flooding that overwheld seven armies last ti, this battle had veered into an unknown course.
The little foresight he had was almost entirely ineffective by now.
Unless the enemies in this Illusion Realm would only act according to rigid logic.
But from the interactions with He Zhou and others, that clearly wasn't the case.
So... the entire course of the battle was like an uncontrolled giant ship, sailing toward an unknown faraway place.
Whether the efforts made now could change the outco of the battle was unknown.
"Chen Xing?" A sudden voice beside him interrupted Chen Xing's thoughts.
Chen Xing turned to the voice, "Chi classmate."
Chi Ziyao exclaid, "It's really you!"
"How did you get that outfit, it's different from mine, you're all decked out?"
"Just lucky," Chen Xing humbly replied.

Chi Ziyao before had also received a military rank, judging from the insignia on her shoulders, just a lieutenant.
It seed she had made so contributions.
Chi Ziyao's expression turned subtle, she had just thought it was so officer.
Seeing the resemblance to Chen Xing, she had tentatively called out to him.
She hadn't expected it to actually be Chen Xing.
Chi Ziyao shook her head, "If only I had your kind of luck. By the way, I think I saw your sister this morning."
"Where?"
"Over in District Three. This Illusion Realm is so vast, I've only encountered the two of you."
Chen Xing made his way to District Three.
With little trouble and his na as a lead, he quickly located his sister's lodging through District Three's logistics managent.
Chen Lingya was tidying her room. Seeing Chen Xing enter, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the badge on his shoulder, "It seems you've been performing well."
"Will you join ?"
Chen Lingya hesitated for a mont, then shook her head, "No need, I have other matters to attend to, and this is sothing you can only do on your own. Your help wouldn't be of use."
Chen Xing said, "It is indeed sothing one must face alone, but I could use my connections to get you into a more suitable position."
In a battle, the position you hold can present different opportunities.
"Don't bother," Chen Lingya shook her head again.
Chen Xing fell silent, ultimately choosing to respect his sister's wishes.
...
The attack on Fentian Giant City ca faster than expected.
Just six days had passed before they launched another assault.
The sky was endless, the fierce sun hanging high.
Today's sun seed even more scorching than the previous days.
On the plains, a vast army spread out like a dragon, comncing a full-on attack on Iron Rock Pass.
Behind this great force, a Fla-Patterned Giant Dragon covered in blotches, its dark red flas, opened its wings, the air around it distorted with intense heat.
Upon the watchtower, Beast Tars stood atop the city walls.
Behind the walls, the rocket and missile launchers were neatly arranged, with soldiers standing ready for battle.
The mont the order was given, shells flew like raindrops.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shells exploded at the far end of the horizon.
On the plains heading towards Iron Rock Pass, the Beast Taming Army was enveloped by the shelling.
Shells rain down from the sky, instantly turning the entire wilderness into a sea of fire.
Behind Fentian Giant City, the Fla-Patterned Giant Dragon opened its massive jaws and released a Dragon Breath towards the heavens.
The next mont, countless Fire Elent magic powers churned in the sky, a giant fla teor forming and condensing.
The teor plumted from the heavens aiming at the watchtower.
"Roar!!" Atop the watchtower, a white, two-winged giant serpent spread its wings.
Behind it, a giant angelic silhouette erged, swinging its long sword towards the sky with a strike.
The two forces collided, and the fireball exploded thunderously.
The shattered teor turned into a teor shower spreading across the sky, flying toward various points inside the city.
A multitude of Skills flew up into the sky from within the city.
Most of the falling stars were blocked, but still, a few found their way into the city, bringing down buildings and starting fires in so locations.
This barrage of Skill attacks seed to sound the charge for an assault.
The once slowly advancing Beast Taming Army picked up the pace, charging towards Iron Rock Pass.
