Chapter 526: New Mission (1/2)

Yodha dealt with some matters and took Sam and Arman back to the General's office.

There the regimental commanders and the nascent battalion commanders are all already gathered for a meeting.

After Yodha was seated, a few more regimental commanders came hurriedly and filled up the last empty seats and the meeting commenced.

”The situation at all the borders is becoming tense and it is already close to an all-out. This year we were late and all the strategic locations within the vast borders are mostly occupied by the Rubrum Empire.

They are especially active this time around and there are some reasons for that. We have received information that there is a special regiment formed in the rubrum empire, that are soldiers specially trained since infancy.

They are Nascent stage cultivators and all of them are at the Late stage of the Peak stage.

This regiment didn't contain ten thousand soldiers like a normal regiment. But they only have around five thousand soldiers.

They are a result of a special program that was started more than three decades and it finally showed results. Apart from this little information, we don't know a lot about them.

This regiment might be small but they are treating this regiment especially well and there is news from the spy that all the preparations of the war are specially made in such a way that these regiment soldiers could perform well.

I couldn't come to a decision on how to proceed on this matter, which is why I invited all the regiment commanders here to discuss this matter.”

One of the regiment commanders who are in charge of the border at different city said.

”General, I think we don't need to take this seriously. It is not like we don't train the elites. There are also special divisions in our army, they might be the same as them. As long as the five special divisions clashed against them, I think we would still be the one who is victorious in the end.”

Many of the regiment commanders agreed, but the General said in a serious expression.

”I would like to think so too. But I still have a bad feeling about this situation that there is something wrong with his division. The thing is one of our extremely high-level spies sacrificed his life to get us this information. He was killed while he was sending the information and that is why we only got partial information.”

The regiment commanders and the Battalion commanders all felt that situation is more serious than they thought.

They went into deep thought.

”Do we have any information regarding the location they are stationed at?”

Yodha asked.

”Coincidentally they are stationed nearest to your battlefield. As all of you know, the nascent stage battle is the most important of all battles between us.

Until the battle reaches any of the Dukedom capitals and the Imperial capitals, the Transcendent stage and consummate stage battles wouldn't matter much. At most they could affect some morale.

But until that stage, the Nascent stage battles and Pre-transcendent stage battles are the deciding factors for the conquering of the border towns and cities.

As you know, your battalion and regiment are stationed at a critical point on our border. Those are the cities that house some of the major resources of our empire.”

When General explained, Yodha's frown got deeper and deeper.

He very well knew that would happen the city under his battalion's protection was under the enemy's control.

The city has some mines and that too of extremely high-grade metal. The ore that could be refined from it and made into weapons is actually very limited, but this metal is the only thing that can be used to make the armors and weapons for people at Transcendent stage cultivators.

There is no way that they could let this go.

If the city is in the middle of the nation, then they would have just placed an extremely strong person to keep watch, but it is at borders and if they just tyrannically provided protection by an expert, then the so-called neutral empires will claim injustice and interfere in the war.

So, all they can do is fight a bitter battle.

All the commanders started giving various ideas. Yodha who came later looked at Sam and Arman and pondered on why they were called for, the general wouldn't do so casually.

All of Sam's missions are impossible for two people to clear and some of Sam's missions are done alone and they would need an elite squad to even attempt and that too with a high failure rate.

He felt like he knew what the general is thinking.
