Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 2230 - 682: Final Battle Countdown [8]

The drink is Lily Rum, the smoke is Golden Corn Leaf, and the candy is Latte Toffee.

The Behemoth Combat Laboratory on Chesang Continent was bustling with noise, glasses clinking.

All the military advisors and tactical staff donned their freshly ironed new uniforms, raising their glasses alongside Chief of Staff General Ruo Ran Pinto, to wish the faraway festival at Jiaqiu a successful celebration and for the Shaman of Divine Songs to be remembered in history.

Although the battle formation is still subordinate to the Beamon Military Department, the combat laboratory is also an official advisory unit under the Summer Palace of the War God. From its establishment, training, to development into a system, all funding, equipment, and supplies necessary for the combat laboratory have been orchestrated by Richard under His Majesty, while the military department only allocated the personnel.

The distinction is evident from the uniforms of all the military advisors and tactical staff in the combat laboratory. Beamon regular army staff officers must wear armor and carry standard weapons, whereas the staff at the Summer Palace combat laboratory wear yellow wool uniforms and long boots, their golden cap braids and the golden plum blossom on the collar shining together. Female staff responsible for document management have waves of hair styled with curling irons, wear boat-shaped military hats, with nails painted daffodil and lips marked red—where their weapons were not sharp swords but magical sand tables, goose quill pens, topographical maps, and osseous treasure boxes.

If it weren’t for the need to monitor the enemy’s movements on the Donau Wasteland, the entire combat laboratory staff would have pressed their handprints on the Starlight Avenue on Mount Hyjal today, but the tense situation compelled everyone to remain at their posts, leaving the utmost glory to those brave warriors.

Lately, the strings in the minds of these behind-the-scenes heroes have been tightly wound, with cigars and cigarettes consumed enough to fill sacks.

Since October 26th up to now, the Demon Clan army has been on the Donau Wasteland for a full sixteen days.

During this nearly half-month period, the Demon Clan gradually increased the invasion force to around five hundred thousand; based on real-time monitoring from the "Saruman Wizard’s Eye," there even appeared a large number of crystal mechanical abomination warriors and some new types of troops whose names are unknown!

Since October 28th, the movement of the Demon Clan army has never stopped. They divided into three routes and marched out of the Florendo Salt Marsh Forest; the first group, about four hundred regiments, approached the perilous pass at Yif Castle, with their main force directed towards the Dorott Duchy.

The second group, about six hundred regiments, approached Filenze and Caiyu City in a pincer formation, and by November 6th, the vanguard of this group had already entered the red alert range of the two Beamon cities. If they hadn’t suddenly halted, the war might already have commenced.

The Demon Clan’s third army group is the most massive, with the most peculiar movement pattern.

A massive army of four hundred thousand, like scattered chess pieces, interlocked and crossed without any rules through the southern wasteland. They neither moved towards the Pier Province of the Southern Cross Star Forest nor towards the Smey Territory of the Sunset Swamp. Instead, they skillfully bypassed Filenze and gathered along the banks of the Sanggan River downstream of the Red Earth Highland.

Today is November 11th, and more than half of the Demon Clan’s third army group has watered their horses at the Sanggan River. From high-altitude reconnaissance maps, the banks of the Sanggan River downstream of Filenze have already been dotted with military tents like mushroom forests, rivaling the spectacular Haibo Galaxy at night when campfires are lit.

The military staff of the Beamon Kingdom racked their brains but could not fathom the strategic intent and focal point of the Demon Clan army’s attack.

The movements of the first army group were not difficult to speculate.

This four hundred thousand-strong army stayed camped on the wasteland outside Yif Castle without rushing to attack, indicating that their approach to the Dorott Duchy was just to divert the human army’s distribution—if they launched a frenzy at Yif Castle now, it would be as if stabbing humans in the back, which would be putting the Sea Clan in a favorable position, something the Demon Clan evidently does not want!

If the human army collapses prematurely in front of the Sea Clan, suffering a crushing defeat, it wouldn’t be good for the Demon Clan.

Qualified military advisers can analyze the current subtle relationship between the Sea Clan and the Demon Clan. These two groups of thieves have only nominally formed a military alliance, and the absence of discord and mutual scheming would be strange.

From the Demon Clan’s current standpoint, they would first allow humans and the Sea Clan to fight to mutual ruin, and then they would come in to clean up the mess. Such guidance and main strategy leave nothing to question.

The movements of the Demon Clan’s second army group are also obvious.

The six hundred thousand-strong army is currently less than thirty miles from Filenze and Caiyu City and can launch an attack at any time, but the Demon Clan halted their advance—the Beamon advisers do not dare hope that they might have the luck of humans. There’s not a single Sea Clan soldier on the Donau Wasteland, leaving the Demon Clan entirely unfettered. Therefore, this Demon Clan army is likely resting, building siege engines, and preparing for a decisive battle!

For this, the military advisors of the Beamon Kingdom are not overly worried.

On the south bank of the Sanggan River, Filenze used to be a Red Earth Highland rich in metal content. Since being intensely burned by the "City of Earth Fire" Forbidden Curse for three days, this city has hardened almost like steel, with valiant Summer Palace guards and two Sky Gardens. The Demon Clan army must check whether their jaws are strong enough to bite into it.
