The emergency military meeting was held at noon, and all the important figures were present. There was Guevara, Jedis, and the rest of the think tanks, as well as the commanders of the various armies. Gao Bin and Lydia were also present, and even Adolf the Ascetic, who had never attended a military meeting before, was present. He was seated to the right of Han Jin, and that was the most honorable seat aside from the main seat.
It was undeniable that Han Jin was fortunate to have Guevara's help. Of course, that was also why Han Jin was especially respectful towards Guevara.
That seat should have been Guevara's, and he never cared about such empty titles, so it was the same wherever he sat. Fulfilling Adolf's wish was beneficial to everyone, so why be so calculative?
In fact, Adolf's military talent was nothing to write home about, and whether it was one enemy or ten thousand enemies, Adolf would always make the same choice, and that was to destroy them all!
"Constance, you speak." Gao Bin called out Constance's name, and the meeting officially began.
"From the rift valley all the way to the forest in the southeast, the Abyssal army stopped to rest a total of five times." Constance said slowly, "Based on the traces they left behind, we can roughly deduce that this army should have around two hundred to three hundred thousand soldiers, mainly made up of minotaurs, medusas, and Evil Eyes. The minotaurs numbered around thirty to fifty thousand, while the medusas and Evil Eyes numbered around a hundred thousand. Also, we found a large amount of manticore feces outside the camp of the Abyssal army, but … their numbers are not easy to estimate, but I guess there should be at least two thousand of them. "
"The manticore is the most troublesome," Lydia said. "I remember when I was young, I went on an adventure with my friends, and we met a manticore in the crypt, and it almost forced us into a dead end. Heh … maybe you don't know, but Gao Bin's Mark of God was awakened then, and if it wasn't for him, we would have all been killed by the manticore."
"It was then that Gao Bin left a glorious and unforgettable image in your heart, right?" Han Jin smiled.
Lydia glanced at Han Jin, and slowly lowered her head. She could tell that Han Jin was implying something.
"We're talking about serious business. Don't interrupt," Gao Bin said bluntly.
Bauer, who was present at the military meeting, was shocked. Who was this guy? Too arrogant, he actually dared to criticize Lord Raphael in public …
"To the elven archers, the manticore is indeed a huge threat. However, we still have mages and warriors. They won't be able to take advantage of us," Guevara said.
"It won't be easy." Jeddes sighed. "A hundred thousand Evil Eyes, a hundred thousand Medusas … Have you thought about it? When we win, what price will we have to pay? "
The battlefield fell into silence. The stronger one was, the higher the chances of survival on the battlefield. Han Jin's strength was limited after all, and it was impossible for him to take care of those ordinary soldiers.
"Bauer, why don't you tell us?" Han Jin said: "Tell me everything you know about the Abyssal army. Remember, I want to hear the truth" Han Jin was warning them that they couldn't underestimate the strength of the Abyssal Race just because the Freedom Federation needed help.
"My Lord, when we were attacked, we lost a few cities in succession. However, that was because we were caught unprepared. No one was convinced." Bauer stood up. He had only rested for two hours and hadn't recovered yet. Recalling the terrifying scene at that time, he seemed a little absent-minded: "But … But later, we found out that we really weren't their match."
"Continue," Han Jin said.
"After the war broke out, the mages of our Magic Guild flipped through all the books in search of information related to the Abyssal Race. In the end, they found that the information was outdated. The Abyssal Race had undergone huge changes!" Bauer's face was full of bitterness: "For example … The Evil Eyes that covered the mountains and plains. My Lord, you should know that the more tentacles an Evil Eye has, the more powerful it is. Those Evil Eyes have at least a dozen tentacles. Some are even like jellyfish in the sea, with hundreds of tentacles. Moreover, their tentacles are equipped with magic tools. My Lord, can you imagine? Their attack range is more than a thousand meters! "
"A thousand meters?" Gao Bin was stunned. This was far beyond the range of the elven archers.
"Yes, a thousand meters! Our mages didn't even have time to release magic before they became targets! " Bauer said: "The Freedom Federation and the Lizardmen living in the swamps have been fighting for hundreds of years. After the Abyssal Army invaded the Freedom Federation, we gave up on our hatred and even recruited tens of thousands of Lizardmen warriors with superb archery skills. But even they couldn't do it. When the scorching hot rays of light shot over, they were instantly turned into charcoal. “
Everyone was speechless for a moment. After a while, Guevara broke the silence: "All life forms are constantly improving. Just like how we have the Demon Annihilation Crossbow, the Abyssal Race can't always be at the same place."
"That's not the problem." Gao Bin frowned: "The point is, if all the Evil Eyes were equipped with that kind of magic tool, Donald should have invested a lot of manpower and resources. It's impossible for there to be no news at all. How come we didn't know anything?"
"Yes, I also find it strange. Zagunéd's Evil Eye army …" Guevara also showed a hesitant expression.
"If that's the case, then Donald should be smarter than Nicholas." Han Jin said softly: "After Mr. Zagreen created the Demon Annihilation Crossbow, Nicholas wantonly publicized it without any awareness of secrecy. As a result, the dragons were dissatisfied, and Donald waited until the last moment to reveal his weapon."
"Your guess is a bit forced." Gao Bin said: "The situation in the Abyssal World was once as chaotic as ours. Donald also worked hard for dozens of years to win the respect of the Abyssal Race. Could it be that he never used it when fighting the enemy?"
"Maybe his patience is better than ours. He can endure." Han Jin said: "Now is not the time to discuss this. Bauer, what else do you know?"
Gao Bin helplessly shrugged and said in his heart: Kid, are you taking revenge on me?
"And those terrifying Minotaur Chiefs …" Bauer said with a trembling voice: "They are a group of butchers! The exultant, bloodthirsty butcher! Almost half of my Knight Guards were killed by them. After the battle, I secretly brought my brothers back to the battlefield, but … I couldn't even find a complete corpse. The previous evening, they were still alive, but after only one day, they became piles of rotten meat! "
"You brought people back to the battlefield?" Guevara was a little surprised.
"I was useless and couldn't protect them, but I had to … bury them, right? How could I let the corpses of those who trusted me be exposed in the wilderness? "
Looking at Bauer's lingering fear, it was obvious that he was frightened at that time. He even had the courage to try to bury the corpses of his comrades. Regardless of whether he succeeded in the end, this courage was commendable.
"You are a true Knight," Guevara said softly.
"Thank you …" Bauer smiled bitterly.
"Minotaur Chiefs?" Han Jin asked: "Are they very strong?"
"How do I put it …" Guevara thought for a moment: "Let's use Saxon as an example. The Minotaur Chiefs are weaker than Saxon, but if three or five Minotaur Chiefs surround and attack Saxon, Saxon won't be able to last more than a few minutes. Minotaur Chiefs are stronger than Saxon. Of course, this is not absolute, just like the difference between angels. Some Minotaur Chiefs are even stronger than me."
"How many Minotaur Chiefs are there?" Han Jin asked.
"I don't know." Bauer shook his head: "I only participated in a few battles, and the Abyss army is divided into five groups. I can't appear on all the battlefields at the same time."
"Didn't your lords calculate?" Han Jin asked.
"The Freedom Federation doesn't have lords. They have a parliament, a governor, and a city lord. The highest authority is controlled by the upper and lower houses. The upper house is made up of nobles, and the lower house is made up of commoners. Bauer, am I right?" Guevara said.
"Correct." Bauer replied and turned his gaze back to Han Jin: "My Lord, our organization has been completely disrupted. Many cities are fighting for themselves."
"The difference in strength … is too great." Han Jin sighed. No matter what, Saxon was still a dignified army commander. If Saxon couldn't even defeat a Minotaur Chieftain, then the fate of the entire army could be imagined. From Bauer's tone, his personal guard Knight Regiment was attacked by a group of Minotaur Chiefs. If it was the 2nd Swordsman Regiment, then it wouldn't be much stronger.
Lang Ning, Winston, Saxon, and the others looked at each other in silence. Their morale had taken a hit.
"Can a Minotaur Chieftain's strength surpass a Golden Behemoth's?" Sunier asked with a smile.
"Golden Behemoth's?" Bauer was stunned and replied: "Golden Behemoth's are the kings of land battles!"
"Remember, we exterminated the beastmen! What? Did those Minotaur Chieftains make you afraid? "Sunier asked.
Saxon's spirit was lifted and he laughed: "Them? As long as my Lord is here, they are nothing! "
But Guevara and the others couldn't laugh. The beastmen used to be a very powerful race, but their luck was too bad. In order to seize the highest power, Fossa even killed his own father, uncles, brothers, and sisters. The overall strength of the beastmen suffered an unprecedented blow. Then, Fossa faced the genius Solomon and was suppressed for decades. Then, Lionel killed Fossa. It could be said that Han Jin dealt a fatal blow to the beastmen when they were at their weakest.
Among the hundreds of thousands of beastmen, except for the old, the weak, and the women, there weren't many elite warriors. The Undying Bird Regiment that traveled thousands of miles was the last straw that broke the back of the beastmen. There was no comparison between the beastmen and the Abyss Army. From Bauer's simple description, it could be concluded that Donald had invested a lot, and those were the elites of the Abyss World.
"My Lord!" Bauer suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said: "Before I left the Freedom Federation, I received a terrible news from the captives!"
"What news?" Han Jin asked.
"Because Catherine suddenly left the Abyss Army, Donald decided to change the commander. It won't be long before the Flame Tyrant appears in the Freedom Federation."
Donald, Valentine, and Catherine were the three giants of the Abyss. Although the Flame Tyrant's strength wasn't as strong as theirs, it wasn't far off. It was also a well-known figure.
"The Flame Tyrant?" Han Jin frowned and pondered.
"What about the Medusas? Did they leave a deep impression on you? "Gao Bin asked Bauer.
Excluding the Titans, the Medusas were the most difficult to deal with among all the creatures that had long-range attacks. If the elven archers were approached by the enemy, the result would be very bad. However, the Medusas weren't afraid. They could release sharp arrows and engage in fierce close combat.
In the Abyss World, the status of the Medusas was even higher than that of the Evil Eyes. They were fully deserving of being the backbone of the battlefield.
"The Medusas were much more terrifying than the Evil Eyes …" Bauer recalled the scene at that time and couldn't help but reveal a pained expression. "Although the Evil Eyes had a long range, as long as our warriors risked their lives and rushed in front of them, even an ordinary warrior could kill three or four Evil Eyes by himself. However, the Medusas' close combat ability was too strong. Of those warriors who rushed in front of them with untold hardships, only the high-grade warriors were able to last a little longer. The low-grade warriors were simply killed in an instant!"
"Do the Medusas also have magical items on them?" Han Jin suddenly asked.
Bauer carefully thought for a moment before replying, "They shouldn't have. Even so, the Medusas are already very terrifying."
"We've seen Evil Eyes in Black Raven City before. Their fighting strength didn't seem very strong." Sassoux said: "Are those high-grade Evil Eyes very scary?"
"Ordinary Evil Eyes can only release one ray at a time," Gao Bin said slowly. Gao Bin said slowly, "High level Evil Eyes can release three to five rays at a time, and their attack power is much stronger than ordinary Evil Eyes. They can even pierce through steel. In a sense, they are the most outstanding long-range combat unit, because … because of the speed of their rays."
"During the First World War, the Evil Eyes brought a great deal of trouble to the continent. Their threat exceeded that of the Medusas and the Minotaurs."
"At that time, the Evil Eyes seemed to have three monarchs," Zagreen said.
"That's right. Even the most powerful warrior in the realm, the great Archangel Alpha, was once injured by an Evil Eye." Adolf nodded.
"How is that possible?"
"No one can avoid the Evil Eyes' rays." Han Jin said slowly. He had experienced it himself. Life itself could not exceed the speed of light, no matter how powerful it was. However, it took a few seconds for the Evil Eyes to raise their antennae, gather their mana, and release their rays. A high-grade warrior could use this time to react. Otherwise, the Evil Eyes would be invincible, and Han Jin would not have lived to this day.
"The three Evil Eye Monarchs have been killed. Do you think … that the Evil Eyes have given birth to another monarch?" Gao Bin asked.
"Not likely." Jeddis pondered for a moment: "If that army had an Evil Eye Monarch, Donald wouldn't have needed to invite the Flame Tyrant."
The Abyssal Race's ranking system was somewhat different from that of the continent. Donald, Valentine, and Catherine were all demigods, and below them were monarchs. However, the monarchs of the Abyssal World were generally more powerful than the super-grade warriors of the continent. In Catherine's words, monarchs were like children who had just stepped into the door of power and did not know how to embark on the real journey.
"Bauer, what else do you know?" Han Jin asked.
"I've already told you everything I know," Bauer said.
"Tell us the details of the battles you've participated in," Guevara said slowly. "Don't be afraid of the details. Perhaps you've overlooked something important."
Bauer pondered for a moment, then began to narrate. From the preparations before the battle, the adjustments, the scenes during the battle, his mood after the battle, the chaos in the Freedom Federation, and so on, he told everyone everything he could think of.
It was close to dusk when Bauer finally finished. The energy he had recovered after resting for more than two hours was exhausted once again. His face was pale, and he had to use both hands to support himself on the table to stabilize his body. Finally, under Han Jin's signal, he sat down shakily.
"This is troublesome …" Gao Bin shook his head: "If they attack us, it will be much easier. If we attack them …"
"I've made up my mind," Han Jin said slowly.
Bauer found that during the discussion, no one seemed to respect Lord Raphael. But when Lord Raphael said 'I've made up my mind', the atmosphere suddenly became silent. Everyone was silent as they stared at the man who had made the decision.
"To be honest, the structure of our Holy Crown City is somewhat abnormal." Han Jin said with a smile. Then he reached out his hand to grab the Soul Devouring Orb and gently stroked it. The Soul Devouring Orb turned into a small pyramid about half a foot high and floated above the table: "Other places are just like this tower. The lower you go, the more powerful and solid their power reserves are. But we are the opposite."
"Yes, our top forces can be said to be the most powerful on the continent." Guevara laughed: "How many demigod experts are there on the continent? We have already occupied two. If Raphael's plan succeeds, then it will become three, haha … "
Bauer was shocked. Other than Lord Raphael, who else was a demigod expert? His gaze involuntarily fell on Adolf, because that position was second only to Han Jin.
"So, I don't want to lead the soldiers to the Freedom Federation. That would be using our disadvantage to compete with the enemy's advantage." Han Jin said slowly: "One God of War is enough for us."
Guevara, Jedis, and the others looked at each other and said nothing.
"They have a total of 300,000 soldiers. Wouldn't it be too much to ask for just one God of War?" Zenglin asked.
"Doesn't the Freedom Federation have their own army? Our mission is to eliminate all the Abyss experts." Han Jin said slowly.
Zenglin thought for a moment and didn't say anything.
"Mr. Guevara, Jedis, you two stay here and guard our home." Han Jin said and then turned his gaze to Zenglin: "Mr. Zenglin, can you transfer the Demon Annihilation Crossbow research lab to the God of War?"
Zenglin thought for a moment and said: "Yes."
"Then hurry up. I need your help." Han Jin's meaning was clear. He wanted to lead Zenglin to the Freedom Federation.
Then Han Jin looked at Spindel. Spindel had been present at the military meeting, but he hadn't spoken a word since the beginning.
"Mr. Spencer, have you mastered the production process of the Demon Annihilation Crossbow? Can you do it alone? "
"Almost."
"Then, do you want to come with us to the Freedom Federation, or return to the Capital of Elements?" Han Jin asked.
"The God of War has already installed nine Demon Annihilation Crossbows. You don't have enough manpower," Spencer said softly: "Just let my two students go back."
Not every magician could control the Demon Annihilation Crossbow. Furthermore, there were only four great magicians on the God of War: Hogan, Kane, Lesley, and Loraine. There really wasn't enough manpower.
"Thank you very much." Han Jin smiled and then turned to Bauer: "Bauer, if there are no major accidents, how long do you think the Freedom Federation can last?"
Bauer thought for a moment: "Two months at most."
"At least?"
"At least … maybe we can't hold on anymore." Bauer smiled bitterly: "The communication between our cities has been cut off, so we can't know the situation of other cities."
"How long did it take you to get to the Holy Crown City?" Han Jin asked.
"Altogether … eleven days."
"So, we have to subtract eleven days from two months?"
"Yes."
"That's it. We have ten to fifteen days to prepare." Han Jin said: "Lang Ning, Winston, you and the other legion commanders will assist Mr. Lang Ning in protecting the Holy Crown City. Kane, you and Lang Ning will take over. After we leave, Lang Ning will be in charge of the command of the Magic Legion."
"Okay." Kane nodded.
"Everyone else, follow me to the Freedom Federation." Han Jin paused: "Does anyone have any objections?"
Guevara sighed. He was somewhat reluctant, but after thinking about it, Han Jin and the others had left. They really needed to take care of their family, and Jeddes alone was far from enough.
"Gao Bin, what do you think?" Han Jin asked. The legion commanders would stay, including Guevara and Jeddes, while the others would follow him to the Freedom Federation. Naturally, this included Gao Bin and Lydia. Gao Bin might be worried about the elves without a leader.
"Lydia and I have no objections." Gao Bin said.
Lydia shrugged her shoulders. Her meaning was obvious. This guy often made decisions for her, so she was used to it …
Jeddis's gaze swept across Han Jin, Adolf, and the others. After a moment, he suddenly laughed. "All of you are going to the Freedom Federation … Hehe, the God of War is probably the most terrifying war fortress in history. I believe that all of you will bring a great surprise to the Abyssal Race."
"War fortress?" Zagreen suddenly stood up, stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Lord Jeddes, you reminded me, haha … you reminded me!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
