"Do you want to make a name for yourself and become a hero respected by all?"
"Do you want to defend your country and our homeland?"
"Do you want to be respected by all and leave your name in history?"
"Then join the army! We welcome anyone with ambition! "
"We don't care if you're a Seer or not. We don't care if you're strong or not. As long as you're willing to join us, you'll have a chance to change your life!"
"We guarantee that after you join us, you'll receive a tailor-made training program that will allow you to be reborn into a true hero!"
"We are the protectors of the world, the defenders of peace, and the creators of miracles!"
In the streets and alleys of Prandal, recruitment advertisements were echoing everywhere. Unknowingly, every citizen had accepted the hint and understood that joining the army was a very honorable thing. Therefore, ever since the large-scale recruitment began, citizens from all over the country began to enthusiastically sign up, allowing the number of reserve soldiers in Ilrus to increase by leaps and bounds. Soon, it exceeded the million mark.
Although this was already a very exaggerated number, it was still a far cry from the future enemies, so the recruitment advertisements had to continue.
Aurelia was very worried at first, because a large number of young and middle-aged men joining the army would greatly reduce the labour force in various regions. At the same time, the agricultural production population would also greatly decrease, which would lead to a rapid decline in future food production. In the end, it might not even be able to meet the needs of the army.
However, Tang En gave her a very simple solution — the military system.
Yes, after the recruitment, these soldiers would receive uniform training until they awakened their talents and became Seers. However, this did not mean that they could walk to the peak of their lives. If the scale of the war was not expanded, these soldiers would not have the opportunity to walk on the battlefield. Therefore, the way to maximize their value was to let them engage in agricultural production.
Although it was a bit wasteful to use Seers for agricultural production, it was at least better than wasting a large amount of food to feed them.
In Tang En's ideal, it would be best for the entire Prandal to form a militarised society. Normally, everyone would do their own work, but once war broke out, an order would be given, and everyone would instantly transform into the most elite soldiers. This militarised society where everyone was a soldier was the best way to deal with the crisis of Chaos.
After considering Tang En's suggestion, Aurelia also felt that the military system was probably the best solution at the moment. Moreover, due to the birth of agricultural magic machines, the difficulty of farming had been greatly reduced. There were basically no technical problems that were too complicated, and the soldiers could complete the agricultural production work during their training.
However, how to balance the mentality of these soldiers was a rather complicated study.
Let the Revelation plow the fields? This was no longer a matter of whether it was a waste or not. Who would believe it? Who would believe that? Unless the number of Seers in this society had an absolute advantage and they became very ordinary characters, and those who could not awaken their talents were in the minority. Then, the competition would be relatively fierce, and this kind of thing would become a matter of course.
The change in the form of society was not something that could be done overnight. Just like last time, when Tang En suddenly proposed social reforms, even though many people were now aware of the new policies and decrees, they still maintained their original respect in the face of the nobles. This situation was difficult to change in the current generation. Only when the new generation of young people who accepted fairness and justice stepped out of school and became the main force of society, this situation would change.
A large number of new soldiers joined the training, and a large number of veterans were sent to the Purgatory Abyss to join the battle there after changing into new equipment. However, at this moment, the main purpose of the human soldiers was not to join the battle, but to spread out and explore the spatial structure behind the battlefield.
After receiving Tang En's instructions, Barmetos began to take the initiative to cooperate with the human army. He sent many demons to lead the way, assist them in exploring the spatial structure of the Purgatory Abyss, and at the same time, draw a map of the place.
In order to obtain the overall map of the Purgatory Abyss as soon as possible, Tang En and the others specially developed a special aircraft that could withstand the harsh environment here. During the flight, it constantly emitted magic waves of a specific frequency to explore the surrounding environment. At the same time, the detected data was drawn into a map and sent back to the mainframe of the command center. After comparing the coordinates with part of the map drawn by the mainframe, a complete map was finally formed.
According to the map, Depp and the others could determine their location, and then arrange tactics according to the situation on the battlefield. With the technological advancement of the human army, they could now even form special mobile squads to assist the demons in harassing and attacking from the flanks of the battlefield.
"This is the latest data sent back this morning. The aircraft has reached the inner part of the demon's territory. According to the comparison of the coordinates, the straight-line distance from here is more than ten thousand meters … Damn it, the Purgatory Abyss is really big."
Locke looked at the huge map and couldn't help but curse.
Depp smiled bitterly. "I remember Tang En Majesty said that the Purgatory Abyss is inside Prandal, right? Considering the size of Prandal that I saw before … a distance of ten thousand kilometers is nothing. "
"No matter how I think about it, I still find it strange that this planet is hollow …"
Although Locke didn't understand the theory of gravitational collapse, it made more sense that the planet under his feet should be solid. When he thought of all the humans living on a "thin" layer of stone, he felt strange.
"No matter how strange it is, it's the truth. If you have any questions, ask the gods when you pray."
Depp shrugged. Even though he found it strange, he didn't think too much about it. His attention was focused on the map. He drew a line between the command center and the frontline, and the ruler tool immediately displayed the distance. "The distance from here to the frontline is less than 1,500 kilometers," Depp said. "We're pretty safe here." Depp nodded.
Locke knocked on the table and said, "Safety is not our goal. Our goal is to win this war! Right now, all of our people are scattered to the rear to explore the spatial structure. It will take half a month to complete the exploration. During this time, we can formulate a proper plan. When they return, we can organize and join the battle. Elsa, what do you think? "
Elsa, who had been in a daze, was stunned. "Huh? My opinion? I don't have any opinions. You can just tell me where to attack once you've discussed it. "
Locke and Depp looked at each other helplessly. Elsa was obviously very smart, but her powerful strength made her fearless. She was too lazy to think about the problem.
But she seemed to be absent-minded these days. What was she thinking?
"Now that we have the AI spellcasting system, we're not inferior to ordinary demons or even greater demons in terms of magic power. However, it's still too dangerous to encounter a demon lord. So, we can't appear on the battlefield."
Depp knocked heavily on a red dot on the map, then drew a circle to mark it. "Especially here at the Red Lake. Since Barmetos decided to speed up the offensive, a large number of demons and demons have gathered here to kill each other. The magical waves there can be clearly felt even from here. The frequent outbursts of legendary spells are too terrifying. It's not something we can withstand. So, we have to stay away from the Red Lake … So, this is the only place we can attack."
Depp drew a line on the map along the Red Lake to the north. After reaching a distance of 1000 kilometers, he drew a circle there. "In the Abyssal language, it's called La'to-di-par-ga'sic. After we translate it, it's called the Blackrain Plains. According to the information we have, most of the demons active there are undifferentiated imps, ordinary demons of the three branches of Nazura, Euboris and Komala, and a small number of greater demons.
"The demons of the Blackrain Plains rarely participate in the battles on the Bloody Battlefield. They usually charge straight in from there to the Bone-Piercing Forest to kill the young demons. If we can completely eliminate the demons on the Blackrain Plains and establish a frontline base there, we can control the entire plains. The demons will then be able to concentrate more forces on the main battlefield."
Locke stroked his chin and muttered, "Based on the current situation, this plan is a little risky, but it's feasible."
"If necessary, we can ask the Tang En Majesty for support from the Martyr's Palace," said Depp.
"If we want to earn their respect, we have to show them our strength and value. The battle on the Blackrain Plains will determine whether we can gain enough influence on the demons' side. The Tang En Majesty will definitely support our plan."
"It's settled then."
After thinking for a long time, Locke agreed with Depp's plan. "Let's write a report and ask for supplies before they're done with their investigation. If we fight, I'm afraid it won't be easy to win."
"I'll write a report today," said Depp.
"I want you to come up with a simple battle plan. We have half a month to perfect it. Hopefully, we'll be able to win another battle this time." Depp said decisively.
After the discussion, they immediately split up and got to work. Depp started writing the application report, Locke started thinking about the battle plan, Brian started thinking about how to brag in front of his son when they got back, and Elsa was still in a daze.
That was because she suddenly received a message from Fiona. There was only one sentence in the message, but it caused her to be in a mess.
