344: Chapter 336 They have mutated pack rhinoceroses, I have an armored army groupZhang Mu planned to speed up the spaceship project, but he had to be careful not to let the Director realize he was pushing for it.

It wasn’t difficult to implement; he just needed to find a suitable reason.

In the early morning, Zhang Mu wandered over to the mountain cave base, under the pretext of ”occasionally tasting the food of the mortal world is also a fine thing.”

Then, while eating and chatting, he casually revealed that Ying Country’s spaceship construction progress had already overtaken them, and America was catching up as well.

This lie wasn’t sophisticated—it could even be called clumsy. As long as China and Ying Country communicated, it would fall apart.

However, Zhang Mu wasn’t worried at all, because it was impossible for the two countries to share the specific details of their respective projects.

Although the two countries had a good relationship, there was also competition, especially regarding the moon landing, which concerned who could take a step ahead on the path of transcendence.

The Queen had ambitions, and China was unwilling to be inferior to others, so they would naturally keep the details under wraps.

After saying this, Zhang Mu caught a glimpse of the Director becoming anxious, shifting restlessly on his stool. He guessed the man was probably in a hurry to leave and gather his subordinates to discuss how to increase the construction speed of the spaceship.

This scene was what he hoped to see, so he didn’t delay the Director and stood up to take his leave.

Returning to ”The World,” he didn’t practice his Meditation Method or Knight Magic. He opened the door to the Saul Continent to check on how the war preparations in Lake were progressing and to scout for news of the enemy army.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Zhang Mu was not an expert in warfare, but he still understood this basic principle.

If he relied solely on Blue Star technology and magic-conducting weapons, believing they were enough to easily defeat the coalition forces, he would surely lose quite miserably in the end.

Upon arriving in Lake, Zhang Mu went to the palace as usual to find the King, who was currently practicing, and asked about the recent movements of the coalition forces and the Kingdom.

The King led Zhang Mu to the study, rummaged through a pile of coarse paper on the desk for a while, pulled out two sheets, and began to speak while looking down at them.

Likely because the Little Cat Girl’s True Word Spell was about to expire, the coalition forces had been restless lately.

First, they stationed troops at the border, sending small units every day to provoke them along the boundary line.

Lake was currently busy reorganizing its army and had no time to spare to drive them away. Seeing this, the coalition forces became even more arrogant, sending people into cities near the border to widely publicize that those who surrendered after the war started would not be killed, aiming to disturb the people’s hearts.

The effect was quite good; the King had received intelligence that many acting city lords were already secretly contacting the coalition forces.

This situation wasn’t unexpected. After all, in the eyes of others, Lake—which was being targeted by the gods—would not be able to survive the subsequent continuous crusades even if it didn’t lose this battle.

Zhang Mu didn’t care; those acting city lords who betrayed them in secret were merely burdens to Lake.

The King felt the same; it didn’t matter if there were a few fewer acting city lords.

However, his heart was heavy at the moment, and the source was a cavalry unit of the coalition forces.

The leader Kingdom of the coalition forces had a species of Mutated Rhino-Ox living within its borders.

Unlike ordinary Pack Rhinos, which could only serve as a means of transportation, the Mutated Rhino-Ox had a much more massive physique and skin with terrifying defensive power. They could be used as mounts to crash through the battlefield.

Lake also had cavalry—the Griffin Legion. Furthermore, the combat power of the Griffin Legion far exceeded that of the Rhino-Oxen.

However, when comparing the two, the former had a fatal flaw: they were scarce in number and difficult to train.

How many were in the Griffin Legion?

Counting the wingless subspecies of griffins, there were fewer than six thousand.

And the Mutated Rhino-Oxen?

Fifty thousand!
