Chapter 1796 The Mind of a Big Shot
There was no reason, no sign, but Chu Yunfan believed in his judgment. There was no doubt about it. He immediately understood what the problem was. In such a battlefield where millions of troops were fighting, no matter how strong he was, it was useless unless he could reach the strength of the person who had just attacked. Otherwise, there was basically no difference.
In the eyes of those high and mighty figures, he was probably nothing. He was no different from an ant. However, even under such circ.u.mstances, he was being targeted. Other than him using a nuclear bomb, there was no other reason for this. Such a weapon, even if it was just a tactical nuclear bomb, was enough to affect the balance of a battle. If Chu Yunfan had more nuclear bombs in hand, it would be enough to make the demons suffer on the battlefield.
Of course, this did not mean that nuclear bombs were invincible. Even in the Federation, they could rely on the defensive barriers of large base cities to resist nuclear bombs. Not to mention Grand Xia, which had developed far more martial arts than the Federation. However, if it was used for a surprise attack, it was indeed terrifying, more terrifying than any spirit artifact.
The divine light that had saved him earlier was only as thick as a thumb. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see it. However, in terms of power, it was even stronger. This was the battlefield where top figures clashed.
Chu Yunfan felt his blood boiling. After what had just happened, not only was he not afraid, but he was also extremely excited. The strength of this one person could rival an entire country.
"Brother Yang, attacking an ordinary junior is not the behavior of a gentleman."
At this moment, a deep middle-aged man"s voice sounded. His voice revealed a hint of leisure.
"It"s the grand commandant!"
Many people immediately realized that the person who had attacked just now was the grand commandant. On the entire battlefield, only someone like him could save someone at such a critical moment.
"Let"s go!" Chu Yunfan said and led the Baotai garrison into the army.
In the distance, in the demon camp, the middle-aged man in a luxurious robe watched Chu Yunfan lead his men into the main array of the Grand Xia army. He sighed slightly. It was a real pity. He was just a little bit away from destroying Chu Yunfan, but he had failed.
He knew that his action would attract the attention of the grand commandant. It would be almost impossible for him to launch a surprise attack next time.
However, the grand commandant of Grand Xia was actually paying attention to the situation here at all times. This confirmed his previous guess that this young general was definitely not an ordinary person. He might be a genius from some family of generals who had not encountered any trouble. It was more likely that he had a weapon that could change the balance of the battlefield.
Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Pa.s.s on my order. Have the Demon G.o.d Sect investigate that young general. It would be best if they can capture him. If they can"t, kill him on the spot and leave no one alive."
If he could kidnap Chu Yunfan, he had a hundred ways to make Chu Yunfan work for him. After all, the method of controlling one"s mind was not something unknown. However, if they couldn"t capture him, they had to kill him.
In Grand Xia, the Demon G.o.d Sect was of utmost importance. This was why the demons spent so much effort to nurture the Demon G.o.d Sect.
The demon commander looked at the battlefield in the distance. The humans and the demon were fighting each other. Both sides did not give in to each other, and a large number of elites died tragically at every moment.
He didn"t even blink. He just sighed slightly and said, "The grand commandant is still as powerful as ever. Even I can"t gain any advantage in the art of war. Pa.s.s down my order. All armies are to withdraw from the battlefield. Other than the troops that cover the rear, all troops are to withdraw from the battlefield in one day."
This time, he could not gain any advantage over the grand commandant. However, he had achieved his goal. Grand Xia"s army used the spring to train their troops. The same was true for the demons. Although he didn"t gain any advantage, the losses weren"t great either. It was still within the range that he could bear.
Both sides had formed a tacit understanding over the years.
At this moment, the grand commandant stood with his hands behind his back. He was the one who had attacked earlier. If he had not noticed Chu Yunfan"s nuclear bombs at the critical moment, he would not have acted so quickly. After all, he was the only one who knew how terrifying the demon commander was.
However, he naturally understood that this spring sweep was about to end. Soon, the enemy would retreat. Now, they could still beat the demon army while it was down. They had fought so many times that they knew each other"s movements like the back of their hands.
"Pa.s.s down the order. All armies are to prepare to attack. Other than the necessary reserve forces, all the troops are to press forward and beat the demon army that is in trouble. We will annihilate as many demons as possible."
He then added, "Pa.s.s on my order. The captain of the Baotai garrison, Chu Yunfan, will be promoted to the rank of External General. He will also be ordered to form an external army with a quota of 10,000 people. The Ministry of War is to replenish the soldiers and armor in his army as soon as possible."
The grand commandant"s personal guard looked at him in shock. This was the number one person in the army of Grand Xia—the grand commandant of the world. All the high-ranking officers above the general rank were his subordinates.
External Generals were second-grade guardians. They seemed to have a high position and great power, but to a person someone like the grand commandant, they were still small figures. Even those high and mighty marquises had to make an appointment long in advance to meet the grand commandant. The grand commandant was a great figure who was truly below one person and above tens of thousands of people.
Now, he was concerned about the promotion of such a small character. This made the personal guard look at Chu Yunfan in a new light. He made a mental note of this name in his heart. However, no matter how his heart fluctuated, he naturally did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He quickly accepted the order and went to handle it.
The grand commandant"s eyes were like torches as if he could see through the battlefield and see Chu Yunfan, who was fighting with all his might.
"The Flying Celestials, Chu Yunfan, the Violet Thunder Prefecture…" The grand commandant"s eyes narrowed. "I hope you don"t disappoint me. In this world of great strife, there are many masters from all over the world. It isn"t enough to have only one Li Qianyuan. A single branch is not a true spring. A hundred flowers blooming is the right way."
