Chapter 732: Deploying to the Di Ci Gao Jie

"The last Northern Front Army will be under my command."

"This direction is our main offensive axis, targeting the Di Ci Gao Jie, Qinglin Gao Jie, Tian Hai Gao Jie, and five other minor realms, or more, depending on the battle situation."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said in a deep voice: "The Northern Front Army concentrates over sixty percent of the Soul Transformation, Nascent Soul, and Jin Dan cultivators within the Immortal Sects, along with a massive number of unmanned drones and unmanned fleets, ready at any moment to form a Void Refining-level great formation and strike into the heartland of the Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace!"

"Everyone, I can be open with you,"

"If the enemy is merely the Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace, we can sweep their armies aside and annihilate their forces in a single breath."

"Even if a Void Refining grandmaster of the Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace intervenes, we fear them not."

"If you push us too hard, the main army stationed at the Immortal Sect headquarters under Commander Yuan will mobilize; encircling and killing that old thing is not impossible."

The Great Sun Sword Disciple is stronger than a top-tier aerospace army group!

Its mobility and concealment capabilities far exceed theirs; they are almost not on the same level.

"Appoint Teacher Ouyang Hui as Deputy Commander of the Northern Aerospace Front Army to assist the Commander in directing the troops..."

There is no need to worry about the ability to command a large army.

He spoke with killing intent surging.

"Hello."

"Teacher Teacher Ouyang..."

If military orders are violated, never mind a common citizen, even a Citizen Canghai Tianjun, he will kill them immediately as a warning to others.

This is not favoritism.

"Commander!"

"I understand. You may depart."

An Siyan and Jin Jin Lingfeng took a deep breath and nodded forcefully.

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun said in a deep voice: "Even if we defeat the Black Tortoise Heavenly Palace's external realm army and fear no Void Refining grandmaster, the war within the realms proceeds with great difficulty; often it takes a long time to conquer a single minor realm. If dragged out for too long, the armies of the Qitaxian Sect will arrive, forcing us to retreat."

"Ahahaha..."

"Otherwise, I will submit my criticism to the higher Military Council."

"In the past, what hindered us was mainly the internal realms."

Jiang Ding added.

"Take your armies and depart."

Jiang Ding stood up, saluted, and accepted the appointment order.

Void Refining is not insurmountable!"

Compared to the command ability of aerospace troops, the ability to communicate with the Great Sun Sword Disciple is even more important.

Jiang Ding was stunned, then nodded: "Deputy Commander Teacher Ouyang, please explain the higher command's arrangements for us."

"Everyone,"

Outside the Military Grand Hall, generals in the dress uniforms of various branches walked out; the solemn and gloomy atmosphere vanished, replaced by wild laughter and celebration.

Her appearance was beautiful, though her left arm was somewhat stiff, a result of injuries sustained in the past. For these many years, she had been teaching moral character at Qingfeng University; she never expected to return to the army now.

Behind Teacher Ouyang Hui, An Siyan and Jin Jin Lingfeng were appointed as Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Northern Aerospace Forces respectively; they looked somewhat uneasy, a feeling clearly visible on their faces.

Jiang Ding saw the unease of An Siyan and the other, and comforted them: "In the military, victory is the sole standard. As long as you win, you are qualified and excellent commanders, and you were already very excellent to begin with."

One by one, Soul Transformation cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, both known and unknown to Jiang Ding, stepped forward to receive their appointments.

Teacher Ouyang Hui, An Siyan, and Jin Jin Lingfeng saluted, each summoned their own aerospace warships, cast one last glance at the youth before them, and turned to leave.

On Jiang Ding's side, Teacher Ouyang Hui, Deputy Commander of the Northern Front Army's Aerospace Forces, approached, saluting.

It cannot be denied that at such a young age, Teacher Ouyang Hui could teach at Qingfeng University with a peak Jin Dan cultivation; her talent, strength, and political reliability were extremely high. Yet within the Immortal Sects, there were not a lack of equally excellent or even superior Jin Dan cultivators competing for this position.

Especially at the location of Mie Ri Canghai Tianjun, a large crowd had gathered, jumping up and down on the ground, immediately launching into a dazzling street dance routine. Bracelets and earrings clattered wildly; the artistic level was extremely high, causing many generals to stop and watch.

An Siyan and Jin Jin Lingfeng were even more so; with only mid-stage Jin Dan cultivation, they were appointed as Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Front Army, leaving behind a vast number of Jin Dan cultivators at the peak stage who possessed extremely excellent abilities and were extremely politically reliable.

"Commander!"

Farther away, a heavy-aura aerospace aircraft carrier sailed out of the home port, shooting out beams of guidance light that drew in surrounding aerospace warships and fighter jets one by one, pulling them into its deck bay to be stored away.

This will be handled by the Deputy Commander; he only needs to issue the order. Moreover, his army formation command ability is rated above 'good,' it is just not top-tier.

"Those who delay will be dealt with under military law!"

Teacher Ouyang Hui interrupted Jiang Ding's words and said sternly: "In the military, there are only positions; do not use social titles. This will affect morale and cause subordinates to instinctively develop a psychology of avoiding battle and taking lucky chances, which is extremely detrimental to marching and combat."

"The combat location is outside the Di Ci Gao Jie."

All the Soul Transformation Tianjuns, all the Nascent Soul cultivators, and Jiang Ding and others stood up and said in a solemn voice.

Dark clouds covered the sky, dense and numerous.

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun signed and issued orders one by one.

Half a day later,

all appointments and combat mission assignments were completed.

"Ha!"

All around, aerospace fighter jets piloted by Foundation Establishment cultivators flew in, circling the warships of the three women. They extended streams of condensed, bright formation light lines. Dense formation patterns arose within the warships and fighter jets; their auras instantly merged into one, their speed increased by a large margin, and they flew off toward the distance.

"That makes sense."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun had communicated with him beforehand; this was an order formally issued in the form of a military command.

"Do not worry; we will be victorious."

Inside the Military Grand Hall, silence reigned; even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

"Yes!"

Teacher Ouyang Hui saluted, took out a document stamped with the seal of the Northern Front Army Military Committee, and said: "The Military Department orders us to immediately follow and board the aerospace aircraft carrier of the Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun of the Northern Front Army's Starry Sky Forces, heading to the Di Ci Gao Jie. There must be no errors."

"Additionally, the military order specifically notes that you are required to wait at the Immortal Sects. At the appropriate time, you may proceed to the front lines via a encrypted teleportation array to prevent decapitation strikes by enemy Void Refining cultivators."

Her unchallenged victory was primarily due to her relationship with the Great Sun Sword Disciple.

Jiang Ding smiled faintly.

"Please do not do so again."

Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun and Soul Transformation Canghai Tianjun beamed with joy, their hearts' burdens lifted; they cheered and leaped, with some even breaking into a dance on the spot.

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun glanced at the clock in the grand hall and said in a deep voice, "The combat time for the Northern Front Army is ten years, twenty-three days, seventeen hours, thirty-five minutes, and twenty-seven seconds from now."

Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun looked at the youth in the seating area and solemnly declared, "I hereby appoint Citizen Jiang Ding as Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Space-Air Front Army, to command all matters of war within the realm."

Jiang Ding nodded.

"Yes!"

Thereafter, the space-air mothership's afterburners roared, propelling it toward the starry sky transmission array higher above.

"Appoint Mie Ri Canghai Tianjun as Commander of the First Group Army of the Northern Starry Sky Forces... Appoint Master Dinghai Master Dinghai Zhenjun as Commander of the Seventh Army of the Northern First Group Army... Appoint..."

"Yes, Commander!"

"Now..."

"Understood."

"The two of you are capable."

"Yes, Supreme Commander!"

Because,

As far as the eye could see, the entire sky was filled with this scene, obscured by countless space-air fighters, warships, and space-air motherships, the roar of spirit particle engines never ceasing in the ears.

Between heaven and earth, an endless, boundless aura of grim destruction filled the space.
