The Legendary Man

Chapter 932 Prepare For Battle

Following Hayes' words, all Kings of War grimaced at the map.

“Eastern Army is a high-tech combat unit, so I doubt a human wave attack will be effective.” Dorian frowned at Hayes.

While Karl was tempted to speak, he ultimately stifled that urge when he recalled Jonathan's order.

Meanwhile, Hayes shook his head after hearing what Dorian said. “I thought the same when I first took over Eastern Army. It was my belief that, as long as we have superior weaponry, our victory is guaranteed, regardless of who our enemies are. However, after interacting with Karl, I realize that any war will eventually end with a skirmish between living soldiers, especially when it comes to Remdik's latest invasion. There's no doubt Remdik will send their troops across the river after their initial suppressive fire. What then? We can't just lob explosives at our own territory, can we? That's not even mentioning the assassinations and ambushes on key military outposts that'll take place before the war. So, to put it bluntly, Eastern Army will continue to need your support.”

“What about the special missiles?” inquired Kane.

In response, everyone, including Hades, turned to Kane.

At that moment, seventy percent of all special missiles in Chanaea were in Eastern Army's possession.

However, they were akin to Pandora's Box. According to the peace treaty, once someone launched a special missile against another country, any country with those missiles would be allowed to mobilize its own.

Additionally, if a country were under attack by those special missiles, if they had any, they would launch their own toward the entire world.

The purpose of that mutually assured destruction was to prevent a third party from benefiting from the war between two countries.

Thus, once the special missiles were used, it would herald the world's demise.

Hayes shook his head. “I'm sorry. If we're using the special missiles, I'll be aiming them at Kremalos Palace in Saspiuburg instead of the four armies east of Remdik. However, this is a suicidal act. None of us, not even the world, can afford such destruction.”

Kane sighed, though his eyes were still filled with battle intent.

As Hades stared at Kane, he couldn't help but admire the plan Jonathan had devised in the past.

Before Asura's Office was built, to prevent the Kings of War from asserting themselves as the new ruler of the land they occupied, Jonathan transferred almost all of them from their original stations to their latest ones.

Among the eight, Kane craved battles the most, and Doveston had the most amount of conflict compared to other parts of Chanaea as they had to fend off Remdik and Jetroina.

When Kane applied to swap places with Karl, Jonathan thought about it for a long while before stationing Kane at Huxville, which bordered Merania.

The only person who wasn't transferred was Karl.

Back then, everyone was shocked because they thought someone as battle-hungry as Kane would be best suited to protect Doveston, where conflicts occurred all year.

Meanwhile, the border of Merania was likely the safest place in the world. Assigning Kane to that location was akin to imprisoning him.

However, when the group saw the look in his eyes, they were relieved he wasn't in charge of Doveston.

Karl's and Hayes' battle prowess and commanding ability weren't as crucial as their righteousness, which some would see as indecisiveness.

While it could be considered a weakness if they were a country's ruler, it was a vital trait they possessed as the ones with the right to fire those special missiles.

If Eastern Army were under Kane's command, his comrades wouldn't dare to provoke him, much less the tsar.

Gazing at the map, Hades took in a deep breath and spoke slowly. “The current situation in Doveston is tense. Since Yaleview Army refuses to budge, we'll have to proceed with another way. Since we can't send large amounts of troops, we'll just have to swap them with a smaller number of elites instead. Everyone, except for Tiger, needs to transfer at least a third of their Grandmaster Realm and Superior Realm cultivators from their troops to Eastern Army temporarily.”

“Roger that!” the others exclaimed in unison.

Hades nodded before turning to Terrence and Zachary. “Heed my words, Terrence, leader of Southern Army. Once the meeting concludes, you shall transport the soldiers to Terrandya by water with your army. During the process, you have permission to strike down any entity that dares to interfere with your operation.”

“Understood!” replied Terrence sternly.

As the person in charge of the military region on the southern coast of Chanaea, he understood that the order was directed at Jetroinians.

While Remdik and Jetroina weren't friendly with each other, they certainly weren't opposed to collaboration, especially considering the latest circumstances.
