472: Chapter 454 Third Legion Commander: I Have a Secret to Share with YouAside from the First Army, Lake currently has nine main legions and several secondary legions that serve as sources of manpower.

The latter do not undertake specific military missions.

Among them, the Ninth and Tenth legions are stationed on the eastern border to guard against neighboring countries, while the Third and Eighth legions are stationed in Gur City, responsible for guarding against attacks from magical beasts after the disappearance of the Silent Forest, as well as monitoring the Kingdom.

Therefore, the ones rushing to Gur for support were the remaining five main legions.

Not long after the massive army left the central region of Lake, the road beneath them changed from asphalt to hard-packed earth. They encountered torrential rain along the way, turning the dirt roads into a muddy mess, which inevitably hindered the marching speed.

Fortunately, with Zhang Mu’s full supply and the factories working overtime for the past few months, the five legions were equipped with many troop transport trucks, barely reaching the level of a ”mechanized unit.”

Despite the interference from the heavy rain, the army finally arrived at Gur City only three days later than the scheduled deadline.

As they approached the Gur City area, Domit received a report from the Third Legion Commander that the Silent Forest had completely ceased to exist. The magical beasts had not perished along with it; instead, a bloody slaughter had broken out on the spot.

He ordered the trucks and armored units to march at full speed to reach the positions first and guard against the impact of the beast tide, while the infantry walking due to limited vehicle capacity maintained their current speed.

Tanks and trucks drove onto the open fields riddled with trenches.

Before the vehicles had even come to a complete stop, infantrymen clutching rifles jumped out of the truck beds one after another. Tanks circled from the side of the positions to the front, their muzzles all aimed at the distant battlefield.

Domit pushed open the door and stepped out of the jeep. The Third Legion Commander, who had climbed out of a trench, was shocked and ran over, desperately trying to push him back into the car.

”What are you doing?” Pushed back into the rear seat of the jeep, Domit clearly didn’t understand why and asked in confusion.

”Lord Domit, why have you come to the front line?!”

”I came to inspect—”

”It’s too dangerous! Quick, take Lord Domit to Gur City!” the Third Legion Commander urged the driver.

The driver was startled and a bit panicked, turning his head to look at Domit for instructions.

Domit thought for a moment; the temporary Command Post had to be established in Gur, so he said, ”To Gur.”

The driver took the order, turned the vehicle around, and drove toward Gur City.

The jeep’s silhouette quickly faded into the distance. The Third Legion Commander let out a heavy sigh, unable to stop himself from cursing the other Legion Commanders who had come with the expedition in his heart.

How could they let Lord Domit come to the front line!

Two Saint-level Magical Beasts were fighting overhead; even the aftershocks of their magic clashes could affect the positions.

If one of the beasts’ spells went off target and happened to hit Lord Domit, who could take responsibility?!

”I’ll settle the score with you all later!” the Third Legion Commander turned back to the trench indignantly to continue observing the battle.

Another three days passed.

The battle between the magical beasts finally reached its conclusion.

The two Saint-level Magical Beasts perished together, falling from the sky and crashing into the ground. The high-tier magical beasts were completely wiped out, their corpses littering the battlefield, while the few surviving low-tier beasts scattered in all directions.

The Third Legion Commander ordered the Soldiers to pull the triggers of their machine guns, blasting the magical beasts charging toward their positions into piles of shredded meat, while ignoring those fleeing toward the Kingdom.

After instructing his adjutant to stay on-site and guard against the Kingdom, the Third Legion Commander drove alone, floor it all the way back to Gur City.

Half an hour later, the sound of screeching brakes let out a short, sharp cry in front of the council hall gates.

The Third Legion Commander got out of the car, not even bothering to close the door, and strode into the council hall.
