Chapter 413 - 327: The Lance of Longinus Over the Military Department, the True Blood Eagle Soaring for 9 Days!
A single word shattered the silence on the battlefield.
For a moment, many of the Blood Eagle Warriors felt a buzzing in their brains, as if they couldn’t quite process what they heard, and not just these warriors...
Even Zhou Gu and Chen Bin, standing next to Su Mu, were bewildered.
Their pupils widened intensely, and then they exchanged glances.
Did they hear it wrong just now...
What is Su Mu General Star trying to do?
He wants to personally experience the Blood Eagle Battle Array, and with an entire thousand-man Blood Eagle Team?!
This is utterly insane.
If someone else had said this, the two would likely have been furious.
Who do you think you are?
When the Blood Eagle Team was first established, there was no division of the Five Major War Zones. At that time, everyone was united under one Military Department, aiming to establish a dominating force in the sky to counter the Beast Tide and to reduce warrior casualties.
This marked the predecessor of the Blood Eagle Team.
But as the Human Great Sage led the first batch of Martial Saints, uniting all the countries on Blue Star to suppress the Beast Tide, the world entered an era of peace, resulting in the division of the Five Major War Zones, with the Blood Eagle Team stationed in the South.
Now, the training of the Blood Eagle Unit in the Southern War Zone has changed greatly from its inception, and its hypothetical enemy is no longer just the Fierce Beasts in the Beast Cave.
They now include Grandmasters, Titled Grandmasters,
and even Martial Saints above them...
But a Martial Saint, with the supreme mighty power of the Martial Arts Peak, and holding the Martial Saint Tower, cannot be countered by mere numbers. For a millennium, a great upheaval occurred in the Western Realm, with over fifty Great Grandmasters and hundreds of Martial Arts Grandmasters gathered to oppose the Bright Holy See, only to be easily suppressed by the reigning Bright Pope of the Saint Realm.
Since then, although the West has experienced several minor upheavals, none have shaken the Holy See, for each generation of the Holy See is safeguarded by a Martial Saint Level strongman.
Thus, even the ten-thousand Blood Eagle Unit cannot pose a significant threat to a Martial Saint.
But below a Martial Saint, the Blood Eagle Unit is an invincible Divine Soldier, even against Titled Grandmasters!
When the entire Blood Eagle Unit is deployed, there would hardly be any hard bones below a Martial Saint.
The thousand-man Blood Eagle Team could effortlessly suppress ordinary Titled Grandmasters, and even the exceptional demon-like Huangfu Tian must retreat without directly facing them.
This is the Blood Eagle Unit, the ace of aces in the Southern War Zone!
Yet today, someone wants to face them directly...
The previous battle was child’s play compared to this, a difference as vast as heaven and earth, the difficulty unknown multiples of times greater.
Zhou Gu and Chen Bin have been with the Blood Eagle Unit for decades, rising from ordinary Blood Eagle Warriors to their current positions, and Su Mu was the first to say these words!
Immeasurably arrogant!
But it was Su Mu who spoke these words, and at this moment, everyone’s emotions were complex, considering Su Mu both boundlessly arrogant yet feeling a sense of conviction.
For a moment, Zhou Gu and Chen Bin hesitated.
...
"Blood Eagle Unit, advance, directly seize Great Yin Mountain."
A silver-haired, square-faced old man in a military uniform with a full face smiled and spoke, while his opponent, a slightly younger, tall, slim military uniform old man, was deep in thought.
They were conducting a simulated battle on a sand table. After orchestrating an entire game with various tactics, consuming nearly seventy percent of the opponent’s forces, he was still driven into desperate straits.
As long as the opponent still held onto the Blood Eagle Unit, it was the Lance of Longinus hanging over their heads, and now that lance had fallen.
All strategies seemed powerless in the face of this Lance of Longinus.
He lost the entire game.
The tall, slim military uniform old man stared at the small, bright red Blood Eagle flag one step away from his command post on the sand table. After a long thought, he spoke.
"I can’t handle the Blood Eagle Unit... I lost."
"But Marshal Yue, I didn’t lose to you..."
"I lost to the Blood Eagle Unit."
The full-faced old man laughed heartily, acknowledging the truth of his words that the Blood Eagle Unit is indeed an invincible Divine Soldier.
As long as their opponents can’t handle them, even if all other troops perish,
the Blood Eagle Unit can still pull off a great reversal and chew down the enemy command post.
With a light smile, Yue Jun’s gaze focused on that little Blood Eagle flag on the sand table, where the Blood Eagle Unit is invincible.
But in reality, neither the war zone nor the Military Department can achieve this...
The Blood Eagle Unit can’t accomplish this, nor can any ace unit of the Five Major War Zones together.
Only one kind of existence can do this, known as the Martial Saint, the supreme strongman transcending the chessboard and standing at the pinnacle of everything!
Noticing this scene, the tall, slim military uniform old man and the eight-embroidered-star shouldered Qian Xuemin standing beside Mai Sui immediately guessed something.
"Marshal, perhaps soon our Southern War Zone will produce a ’true Blood Eagle,’ one soaring above the Nine Heavens!"
A true Blood Eagle?!
Upon hearing this, Yue Jun’s eyes flickered, knowing exactly what Qian Xuemin inferred.
This true Blood Eagle would be a Saint-level figure, the Martial Saint of the war zone!
"I hope so, not just our Southern War Zone urgently needs such a presence, the entire Military Department craves it... and has been waiting too long."
"There will be."
"Yes, it’s possible in the near future... not even a Grandmaster yet, able to kill a Fifth Forging Grandmaster, and even reverse slash a virtual shadow with mighty power, indeed holds limitless potential, unprecedented potential."
Qian Xuemin nodded in strong agreement. The news of that day shook not only the Southern War Zone but the entire Military Department.
An ultra-secret meeting with less than twenty people across the Military Department was urgently convened, progressing smoothly, ultimately agreeing unanimously to shield Su Mu from the pressure from the Overlord Blade Martial Saint.
Since they’ve seen the dawn, they won’t just watch it fade away, no matter the cost.
"Su Mu was invited to the Blood Eagle Unit by Zhou Gu, which is good, as the Blood Eagle Unit will ultimately be handed over to him."
"Today is the annual martial exercise of the Blood Eagle Unit..."
"Shall we take a look?"
"Alright."
With mention of Su Mu, a light flickered in the eyes of the two elder Military Department personnel, their tone relaxed markedly as they promptly rose and left the command’s tactical room.
The jeep quickly exited the Southern Theater Command Headquarters. In the mountains, the Blood Eagle Warriors in the watchtower of the Blood Eagle Unit saw a car with a license plate approach, their spirits slightly lifted.
Today is the martial exercise of the unit, and the sentries wondered which senior had come to observe. They were no strangers to this since the Blood Eagle Unit is indeed the ace of the war zone.
"Quick, go report to Leader Zhou and Captain Chen Bin, saying Marshal Yue and Marshal Qian have arrived..."
At this moment, a spiritual transmission echoed simultaneously in all sentries’ ears.
"Our arrival requires no disturbance of others, this is an order, pretend we never came."
Immediately, with reverence, all sentries saluted, watching the jeep drive into the base camp.
"The martial exercise ground is just ahead, let’s park here and walk over."
"Yes, Commander!"
After Yue Jun and Qian Xuemin got off the car, they looked around.
"Such nostalgia, if possible, how great it would be to return to earlier times, when I was just a warrior here, only needing to train," Yue Jun said with a smile.
"That would not do, the war zone needs you," Qian Xuemin shook his head, his tone solemn.
"Let’s go."
The two subtly operated their Spiritual Power, concealing their auras, and quickly headed toward the battlefield.
The mountain wind swept wildly, carrying not just the sand from the battlefield.
It also blew a conversation into their ears.
"Zhou Gu General Star, Captain Chen Bin, I have a rather unreasonable request..."
"Please go ahead, Su Mu General Star."
"I want to personally experience..."
"the thousand-man Blood Eagle Battle Array!"
