Chapter 523 - Military Secret
In the next hour’s march, Jiang Chen learned that demons were commonly seen here.
The large number of them made them seem threatening, but they were hardly a threat to the army.
Of course, it would have been another story if someone ran into them alone.
However, Jiang Chen noticed there were shiny beads the color of blood being drawn out of the dead bodies of the demons by the warship in the center of the troops.
“Why do these low-level demons have blood beads?” Jiang Chen was curious.
The troops stopped over a barren mountain. On a flat mountainside, some construction puppets were working. There were also a few armored soldiers and supervisors. They started to run as soon as they saw the troops.
“Shadow Pursuing Troop!” The middle troop’s Pioneer Battalion moved as fast as lightning and started their chase.
Jiang Chen was stunned, then he walked out of the cabin with Qiu Yan. They flew back to the Red Flame Battalion.
“If you’re correct, they’ll know it. It’s just, the army is very rigorous. The authenticity of information is very important,” said Qiu Yan.
“I know,” Jiang Chen said, smiling bitterly.
If he could have stayed in the cabin as a staff officer, it would have helped a lot, but no one in that cabin had achieved their positions easily.
Rank was one thing. Loyalty was key.
When he had entered the cabin, Jiang Chen recalled that the documents and maps on the table had all been covered to prevent detection from holy awareness.
It made sense. There was no way the general would easily trust a man who had joined the army less than half a month before and hadn’t experienced any wars yet.
Even what he had said incurred doubts.
It was suspicious that he had so much information from only seeing some ruins.
Even if the chances of Jiang Chen being a spy were one percent, it could be destructive to allow him stay in the cabin.
In the cabin, Du Zhenfei said, “What do you think?”
“It’s possible,” answered the best formation masters and ward masters in the dynasty.
“I mean… is it possible to have learned these things from a city under construction?” A glint of coldness flashed past his eyes when he posed the question.
“It’s possible, but if it’s true, he’d be the most knowledgeable man in tactical formations in the Realm of True Force.”
“Is that so?” Du Zhenfei murmured.
When Jiang Chen and Qiu Yan arrived at the Red Flame Battalion, a new order had been given.
The troops would keep advancing and destroy every city they found.
“So what you said has been proven true,” Qiu Yan said to Jiang Chen when she received the order.
“I’m curious what’s in there.”
“It’s top secret.”
