Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts-Chapter 5753 Commander

“Long Chen, are you alright? I’m sorry, I completely forgot about you.” Luo Jiang sighed in relief upon seeing Long Chen safe and sound.

Although Luo Yanfeng was magnanimous, he was always strict when it came to protecting lives. He had repeatedly told Luo Jiang and Zimo to look after Long Chen, yet both of them had forgotten about it.

To be fair, it couldn’t be blamed on them. Long Chen’s incitement had caused them to go crazy, and Long Chen’s composed demeanor and decisive commands made them subconsciously treat him as an equal rather than someone who needed protection.

Long Chen smiled. “I told you, I’m decently strong. Protecting myself shouldn’t be a problem. You don’t need to worry about me.”

“Long Chen, you actually know how to lead in battle! That’s amazing,” praised Luo Ying.

When they had found themselves surrounded by the devil army, they had been truly frightened. Even Luo Yanfeng had been on edge. While he personally didn’t fear the devils, protecting the entire group was another matter. If Long Chen hadn’t quickly given orders, there would have been casualties, and that was not something Luo Yanfeng wanted to see.

Now that things had calmed down, they found that while several hundred were injured, none of the wounds were severe. The battle was a resounding success.

“I’ve picked up a few tricks,” Long Chen said with a shrug. “When I was poor in the outside world, I managed to make some money by leading battles.”

Long Chen spoke utter nonsense, but since they had no knowledge of the outside world, they believed him without question.

Without wasting time, Long Chen took command. He made it clear—if they wanted him to lead, his orders were absolute. If he made a mistake, he would bear the consequences. However, if someone ignored his command, the consequences would be severe.

His expression was so stern when he said this that he seemed like a different person. But after witnessing his tactical prowess, everyone agreed without hesitation.

Long Chen nodded. As expected, those who could join Luo Yanfeng’s group were all decent. Since his grandfather had given him a mission, he decided to get started now.

He reorganized their formations, keeping them in eight groups but adjusting their members. He moved all defense-specialized warriors out of Luo Yanfeng’s group, replacing them with those who excelled in offense. This turned Luo Yanfeng into the group’s spear, while Luo Jiang would handle their defense. Long Chen then took the defensive warriors into his own group.

He restructured the remaining six squads based on their strengths. Just as they completed their adjustments, furious roars echoed in the distance.

Another wave of devil experts charged toward them—this time in even greater numbers.

Luo Yanfeng’s expression darkened. They had barely recovered from the last battle, and yet another had already begun.

“First squad, take the front. Second squad, position yourselves behind them. The two wings will form the same revolving formation. Pay attention to where the center is at all times—don’t break formation,” Long Chen commanded. His voice was clear and unwavering amidst the approaching army.

Of course, Long Chen was calm. To him, this was child’s play.

In truth, if Luo Yanfeng could unleash his full power in combat, he could crush this incoming horde with a single attack. But raw strength wasn’t enough. Due to their inexperience, they didn’t know how to wield their power properly. Indeed, everything needed a process.

This was only their second real battle, yet they had already exceeded Long Chen’s expectations. They were able to quickly cast aside their fear and enter a combat state. Their cooperation was also promising.

The enemy forces roared and charged over. In response, Luo Yanfeng let out his own battle cry and charged at the forefront, his massive broadsword cleaving through the enemy ranks.

His attacks were devastating—each swing of his sword split the earth itself. However, his movements were still rough. While he could unleash powerful attacks, he didn’t know how to transition between them efficiently, wasting much of his strength.

Other than that, due to their inexperience, everyone was exhausting their energy much faster.

Long Chen, however, said nothing. These were things they had to comprehend on their own, not something he could keep reminding them.

As their formation solidified, Luo Yanfeng spearheaded the charge, while his comrades followed in disciplined coordination. Compared to before, everyone had an easier time. Their momentum was overwhelming, trampling the enemy wherever they advanced.

Under Long Chen’s command, the battle became a one-sided slaughter. The devil army crumbled under their relentless assault.

After several devastating charges, the devil army finally collapsed in terror, fleeing in all directions.

Watching them run, everyone cheered. It was another complete victory. As long as they could control their fear, their combat power would rise to a new level.

“Continuing drilling the formation,” Long Chen ordered.

“Long Chen, shouldn’t we rest? After all—” Luo Yanfeng said.

“I am the commander,” stated Long Chen frankly.

Luo Yanfeng was startled but then remembered Long Chen’s earlier words. He quickly nodded. Seeing that, the others followed suit. They abandoned any thoughts of rest and continued their formation drills.

With each passing battle, their teamwork improved. Their formation became more mobile, designed to maximize kills while minimizing energy expenditure. By now, their trust in Long Chen was absolute.

Under his direction, they trained in more advanced formations.

Four hours later, a third wave of devil experts arrived—and this time, their numbers were ten times greater.

The void and earth rumbled as they came charging over from all sides, their devil qi exploding into the sky.

When the Luo family’s warriors saw the scale of the opposing army, their expressions turned grave. Among the enemy ranks, they spotted figures whose auras radiated immense pressure—thirteen-vein Heaven Saints.

A devil expert stepped forward, its eyes burning with killing intent.

It shouted, “Foolish humans! Do you think the devil race has no true warriors? You dare step this deep into our domain? Today, none of you will leave alive!”

Its roar shook the heavens. A true battle was about to begin.
