With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 620 - 551: The Young Man Holds the Tiger Tally, Troops Inspected on the Autumn Battlefield!
The sun blazed down, yet the soldiers remained nourished by divine dew, maintaining their exemplary military discipline without any disturbance.
Shi Cheng’s gaze swept over the soldiers standing solemnly below.
His voice, steady and imbued with undeniable power:
"Comrades, today we point our swords at the Demon Nest, not for personal gain, but to protect the people of Fengdeng City!"
He paused, the lingering mist on his fist condensed into tiny ice crystals:
"Though Chi Li is fierce, it cannot withstand a united front of a thousand. In this battle, some will be wounded, will feel pain, and some may sacrifice."
The ice crystals clattered to the ground, and his voice suddenly rose to a peak:
"But the spine of the Defense Army is never forged by mere survival!
The Celestial Demon may gnaw at flesh and blood, but cannot crush the Martial Arts will!
Now, follow Captain Meng and flatten the Demon Nest, use your battle honors to tell those abominations—"
Banners flapped, and all soldiers extended their right fists, striking their armor with force!
Amidst the resonant clang, a unified response echoed.
A deep sound wave formed, sweeping through everything:
"Who truly owns this land!"
Shi Cheng’s eyes were like lightning, his right arm suddenly lifted high.
His five fingers erupted with piercing frost, his voice thunderous and surging as he uttered four words that echoed to the skies!
"This battle! Shall be won!"
"Shall be won!"
"Amitabha!"
Liao Chen and a few others, influenced by their uncle, led the rallying cries, accompanied by terrifying waves of sound rippling across the military formation below.
Meng Chuan was also invigorated, shouting a few times, feeling refreshed.
It wasn’t the first time fighting a titled Great Demon, and he wasn’t nervous.
Just shouting a couple of times felt exhilarating!
Meanwhile, the soldiers stationed nearby who were not participating in the operation began distributing supplies to their comrades.
Meng Chuan and a few others also received basic potions to restore stamina, internal and external healing pills, and high-energy canned food.
As for the pills and potions, many were exclusive military provisions.
He had used them before during the handling of the Chen Cang Demon Nest chaos.
They accepted the canned food with gratitude.
Within the Demon Nest, it was impossible to use the mutated "Zusanli" acupoint to replenish the "Qi" between heaven and earth.
Food was also a necessity.
Once everything was distributed, the military formation regained order, waiting for the few on the high platform to speak.
Meng Chuan and his four companions all looked at Shi Cheng, who in turn, looked at him.
Meng Chuan communicated telepathically:
"Shall I speak?"
"Introduce the Demon Nest situation to everyone once more, speak with force, then we can set off."
Shi Cheng intended to cultivate his leadership skills, and Meng Chuan, after contemplating his words, agreed with a nod.
He stepped forward, his robe flapping in the hot wind, his voice deep yet clearly reaching everyone’s ears:
"Our goal is to completely eradicate the Chi Li Demon Nest. Everyone, while pursuing military and battle honors, safety must come first.
The situation inside the Demon Nest is complex, and with the Fiery Sun Heaven constantly looming, everyone must maintain formation upon entering the Demon Nest. Be vigilant and avoid reckless bravery!
Understood?"
"Understood!"
Shi Cheng nodded slightly, acknowledging Meng Chuan’s focus on "discipline and safety" as quite apt.
"Next, I’ll assign specific tasks. If there’s anything incorrect, I hope Commander Shi Cheng will correct me promptly."
Shi Cheng raised an eyebrow, thinking this young kid might actually have some substance, so let’s see him try.
"Go ahead."
Meng Chuan scanned the formation, roughly grasping the situation.
With a photographic memory, he attempted his first battalion-level command based on what he had learned from books.
"Alright, after entering the Demon Nest, Company One will lead with a platoon at the front, the other three platoon Martial Arts leaders will accompany them, with four teams under them guarding the flanks;
Company Two..."
The Great Chu Defense Army had a battalion of a thousand men, with the battalion commander responsible for commanding the entire battalion, acting as the highest commander.
The battalion was divided into three to four companies, each with a company commander and instructor, managing about 130 people. Each company was further divided into two to four platoons.
The rank of the platoon leader was akin to a grassroots officer in the Great Chu Army, with 30 to 40 men under their command.
To be eligible, one must possess Martial Arts Family strength to promote from the rank of sergeant, a mandatory requirement.
The ability hierarchy requirement of Martial Arts power extends upward from the first major limit, and so on.
The rank of commander equates to the position of a city’s Defense Army chief, where Martial Arts Grandmaster strength is the minimum criteria.
Meng Chuan spoke eloquently for three minutes, the high platform was utter silent, while the sounds of the preset formation’s steps were exceptionally clear below.
Nearly a thousand people stomped their feet, generating a thunderous noise.
Meng Chuan’s expression remained stoic and unchanged.
After he finished speaking, two minutes passed.
Within the military formation, movement ceased, and silence reigned.
Witnessing this scene, the four monks on the side were dumbfounded.
They stared at him in disbelief, their thoughts evident:
"Wait...bro, you can do this too?"
