Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

”Communication request from Desolate Bronze Small World’s ground forces deputy commander-in-chief, and the commander of the West Desert Boundary Formation stationed Group Army, Jin Chengkong.”

”Desolate Bronze Small World’s Northern Sea Boundary Formation Group Army commander Xue Xi, East Sea Nanofluid Robot Hidden Troop’s division commander Liu Lingxiao, Southern Remnants Resistance Army’s commander Wu Shujun request a meeting.”

Passed.

In front of Jiang Ding, four conference dialogue boxes unfolded.

Jin Chengkong, the Deputy Commander of the Ground Forces, was a middle-aged uncle with a scraggy beard. His record showed that he was a Post-Golden Alchemist involved in combat through his Foundation-building avatar, and he had extensive combat experience.

”Salute!”

”I’ve seen the Commander-in-Chief!”

Jin Chengkong saluted first, followed by the other three who were half a beat slower, barely noticeable, in their salute.

”Greetings to everyone.”

Jiang Ding returned the salute and asked, ”How much longer can the Star 49 Boundary Formation in the West Desert hold out? And what about the Boundary Formation in the Northern Sea?”

The intelligence from Xianmen Sect had it, but he wanted to hear the frontline commanders’ opinions.

”Not very well.”

Jin Chengkong smiled wryly, ”My forces have been under siege for more than ten years. Without reinforcements from the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace, the number of Foundation-building cultivators is between six thousand five hundred and seven thousand. There have been two Xuanwu Substitute Daoists who have appeared; one is Xia Houding whom you’ve met, and the other is a female substitute daoist named Li Han.”

”Among them, Xia Houding poses the greatest threat, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties to the ground forces each time he appears. We have had to resort to third-order tactical nuclear weapons and the use of the West Desert Star Boundary Formation to repel him. Over the years, he has been injured three times but not exterminated.”

”Under the siege of numerous Foundation-building cultivators and the sporadic sneak attacks by two Xuanwu Substitute Daoists, we’re losing forces quickly, and reinforcements can’t keep up.”

”Furthermore, about twenty years ago, Xuanwu Heavenly Palace employed something called the Spirit Fusion Forbidden Treasure, a dangerous treasure capable of neutralizing fission reactions and significantly reducing the power of third-order tactical nuclear weapons.”

”I estimate the entire force will perish in a year.”

”A year? That might work.”

Jiang Ding nodded and looked towards Xue Xi, the commander of the Group Army stationed at the Northern Sea Boundary Formation, a composed and efficient middle-aged female soldier.

”Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief.”

Xue Xi spoke solemnly, ”My forces are facing a Xuanwu Substitute Daoist and a Divine Being of Incense Fire named Maitreya Treasure Tripod. After leaving his place of worship in the East Sea, his power has declined, and he is currently only slightly stronger than the Xuanwu Substitute Daoist.”

”If the enemy’s strength remains unchanged, my forces can hold for about three more years.”

Commanders from the fallen East Sea and the southern regions also reported the status of their respective areas.

”I am now aware of the overall situation.”

Jiang Ding said indifferently, ”Ground force military affairs will still be managed by Deputy Commander Jin Chengkong. Please hold on a bit longer, support is on its way.”

”Yes!”

The three of them showed fervor in their eyes as they saluted in unison.

If they could take over this Small World, each of them would establish great merit, and Xianmen Sect would be generous with its rewards.

He glanced around.

Within a radius of tens of kilometers, a million-strong tank infantry force had completely arrived. Since the Star Boundary Formation was still under the control of Xianmen Sect, this arrival faced no interference, and the troops quickly reorganized.

Huang Yan, Ou Daocheng, and other experienced commanders of battalions and divisions accelerated this process.

A few hours later, when figures camouflaged in the air by Concealment appeared on the horizon, the Third Army Group’s one million troops were also fully reorganized.

”Reporting, Commander-in-Chief Jiang.”

Jin Lingfeng, the commander of the Third Army Group, spoke loudly, ”The troops have completed reorganization, awaiting your orders!”

”Attack, eliminate evil, and seize the thirteenth Small World of Xianmen Sect.”

”Yes.”
