The next day, the Monster Country Federation's grand Army departed Chenlu City and began its march towards the Eastern Empire.
At the same time, the Eastern Empire's grand Army also marched towards the Monster Country Federation.
The only difference was that the Monster Country Federation's First Fleet had already ascended into space.
The Colossus was in a semi-activated state.
Zhong Chen sensed the semi-activated Colossus and immediately demanded to know which damned bastard had given that order.
Didn't they know he was still collecting protection fees on Commercial Street? One shot from that thing and the entire planet would be obliterated!
"Supreme Commander Sakazuki, is this really a good idea? If it accidentally fires, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
First Fleet Commander Azazel, drenched in cold sweat, conveyed the gravity of the situation to Sakazuki, who was on the holographic projection.
"Relax, relax. If the sky falls, isn't Lord Zhong Chen there to hold it up? A mere planetary explosion is nothing..."
Sakazuki, on the other side of the holographic projection, fed a goat while speaking terrifying words.
Actually, Sakazuki had only been joking when he told Azazel to bring out the Colossus.
The Colossus could not be fired without the simultaneous authorization of him and the Fleet Commander.
However, ever since the Colossus was built, it had only been used once in the World of the Three Questions of the Apocalypse and never again.
Every day, looking at a super-standard weapon that could annihilate the previous world with one shot, Sakazuki genuinely wanted to fire it every single moment.
Meanwhile, Azazel, aboard the First Fleet's flagship, the Imperial Prince, heard Sakazuki's irresponsible words.
He couldn't help but grumble inwardly, 'No wonder you're constantly getting chewed out by Sakazuki. If I weren't your subordinate, I'd want to chew you out too.'
'I'll go tell Lord Zhong Chen on you later!'
At this time, the Monster Country Federation's ground forces were massively teleported to the border area via teleportation arrays.
Supreme Commander Benimaru conveyed the latest orders to the entire Army through his unique skill, Grand Marshal.
"Attention, all forces! The Army's First Army Corps will deploy on the left flank of the battlefield, and the Army's Second Army Corps will deploy on the right flank of the battlefield."
"Artillery and Magic Army Corps will be deployed at the very rear of the entire Army, with one corps of the Mobile Forces assigned to protect them, preventing enemy sneak attacks."
"The Magic Army Corps will activate Anti-Magic Domain, Life Amplification Domain, and Magic Reinforcement Domain!"
"All Mobile Forces, except for the one corps assigned to protect the rear artillery and magic units, will deploy in the center of the battlefield!"
"All cannons of the Naval First Fleet, except for the Colossus, are to aim at the battlefield, awaiting orders to fire at any moment!"
"Finally, everyone listen! There's no need to hold back, and no need for mercy."
"Bring out all your strength and eliminate all enemies you encounter!"
"Oh oh oh!!!!"
"Destroy the Eastern Empire! Long live the Monster Country Federation!"
"Let all those scumbags from the Eastern Empire go down to repent!!!"
Everyone who received Benimaru's order instantly reached peak morale.
The two-million-strong Army began to rapidly deploy on the battlefield according to Benimaru's instructions.
All the warships of the First Fleet in outer space had already locked their cannons onto the ground battlefield.
A quarter of an hour later, the two-million-strong ground force had completed its deployment.
At the very front of the Army were the latest hover laser tanks developed by the research department.
Following them were giant combat mechs, towering over ten meters tall.
Further back were countless elite soldiers, armed with the latest magic rifles.
Each soldier wore power armor capable of withstanding a full-power blow from a Tier 3 expert.
PS: Tier 3 experts are comparable to B~B+ class individuals in strength.
Finally, there was Benimaru's command post, which was also where the Artillery Corps and Magic Army Corps were located.
Above the entire Army, Gabil led numerous Dragonmen, staring intently into the distance with serious expressions.
The former Fallen Angels cadre, Bayecho, also led many Fallen Angels, floating in the air.
At the same time, various star-era fighter jets and bomber units continuously flew over the entire Army.
"Supreme Commander, the entire Army has deployed as planned, and the First Fleet has sent back the latest reconnaissance intelligence!"
Buzz... As Chief of Staff Ms. He's words fell.
The holographic projection in the center of the command hall immediately displayed images of the Eastern Empire's Army on the march.
"As expected of the Eastern Empire, with their Mech Modification Corps, Magic Modification Corps, and Aerial Combat Flight Corps."
"They truly have all types of military branches."
Benimaru looked at the holographic projection before him, his face filled with admiration.
"Indeed, a single Mech Corps contains so many different branches; I'm afraid the Monster Corps won't be a simple force either."
Benimaru nodded in agreement after hearing Ms. He's words, then continued to ask:
"The enemy's Imperial Knights have not been detected here, so they likely have special anti-reconnaissance methods."
"Contact Royal Knights Commander Diablo, and request the Royal Knights to mobilize."
"Try to intercept the enemy's high-tier combat power before the battle begins, to prevent our soldiers from suffering heavy casualties."
"Alright, I will contact them now."
Ms. He finished speaking and pulled out an exquisite disc, gently touching it.
Diablo's figure, dressed in a butler's uniform, immediately appeared on the disc.
"Lord Diablo, Supreme Commander Benimaru requests your Royal Knights to mobilize, search for the enemy's Imperial Knights, and intercept them."
Upon hearing Ms. He's message, Diablo gently stroked his chin with his right hand.
A look of discovering something interesting appeared on his face, then he replied directly:
"Oh my, it seems those fellows are causing Lord Benimaru some trouble."
"Very well, I shall now lead the Royal Knights into action. Let me see what qualifications those fellows have to dare call themselves a Knight Corps!"
"Then we shall trouble Lord Diablo!"
Upon hearing Ms. He's words, Diablo, in a very gentlemanly manner, placed his right hand over his chest, bowed slightly, and said:
"Heh heh, Ms. He, you exaggerate. We are all working for Lord Zhong Chen and Lord Rimuru."
"Then, I shall take my leave!"
As soon as Diablo finished speaking, his figure on the disc vanished.
Upon hearing that the other party had agreed, Ms. He also let out a slight sigh of relief.
After all, the Royal Knights were different from ordinary troops; these were the direct forces of the Monster Country Federation's Emperor and Prince.
Any one of them, picked at random, would be no weaker than the generals of various military branches.
Not to mention Commander Diablo and Vice Commander Carrera.
Even within the Monster Country Federation, these two were undeniably top-tier combatants.
"Supreme Commander, Lord Diablo has already set out with the Royal Knights; I believe we will receive news soon."
"Excellent! Now we no longer have to worry about the enemy's high-tier combat power."
"Without high-tier combat power, we have already won eighty percent of this war!"
Unlike Benimaru's confidence.
At this moment, Granite, the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Empire's expeditionary force, also received the latest intelligence from the intelligence bureau.
After glancing at the intelligence, Granite's eyes were filled with solemnity, even mixed with a hint of disbelief.
The intelligence read: The Monster Country Federation's entire Army has fully deployed at the border between the two countries. Numerous weapons of war are initially estimated to be no weaker than our own...
