Chapter 1062: Swearing to Follow the General to the Death!

Zhang Yuan had already mentally rehearsed the training plan countless times.

He never fights a battle unprepared.

On the first day, the body was tempered.

Using his own Chaotic Star Source Power as a guide, Zhang Yuan channeled the pure Earth Vein Elemental Magnetic Power into each soldier's body like a gentle stream through the Zhenyue Token.

This is not a forced indoctrination to improve one's cultivation level.

That would lead to an unstable foundation and endless troubles.

Instead, it gently cleanses the meridians, enhances physical resilience, and increases the affinity and upper limit of the capacity to withstand the magnetic vibration force.

Ordinary soldiers felt warm all over, their fatigue disappeared, and their strength subtly increased.

What used to be a strenuous task to wield a 50-pound halberd is now as easy as using an limb.

Elite members such as the Iron-Blooded Rock Battalion and the Breaking Formation Team can clearly feel a significant increase in their physical strength and explosive power.

Their specially made armor resonated even more strongly with the magnetic force, and the runes flowing on the armor plates were three times brighter than before.

An old soldier couldn't help but clench his fist, feeling the power surging within him, his eyes slightly reddening:

"General... this has completely reshaped our very being!"

Zhang Yuan patted him on the shoulder:

“Your natural talent is already quite good, it’s just that no one has paved the way for you. Now, I’ll help you get started, the rest is up to you.”

Day Two: Battle Formation Reform.

Zhang Yuan abandoned some of the traditional, cumbersome defensive formations.

Those formations are fine against ordinary armies, but against the elite forces of the Demon Realm, they are too slow, too deadly, and too easy to be countered.

He combined the ferocious battle intent of the Myriad Beasts Divine Armor with the suppressive and vibrational properties of the earth's magnetic field to create three new formations—

Magnetic oscillation arrowhead array.

The vanguard elites are assembled, with the leading general at the forefront, triggering superimposed magnetic oscillations during the charge.

When they charge, they are like an earth dragon turning over, unstoppable.

Zhang Yuan personally demonstrated.

He stood at the very front of the arrowhead formation, holding the Zhenyue Command high.

The vanguard soldiers behind them, positioned according to specific rules, transmitted, superimposed, and resonated with the magnetic force layer by layer.

"Pay attention to the rhythm! The power of magnetic resonance is not brute force, it's resonance!"

"The first wave, building momentum! The second wave, intensifying! The third wave—"

He threw a punch.

"boom--!"

An invisible shockwave struck the target a hundred paces away, instantly shattering the three-foot-thick steel target into fragments!

There was an uproar.

"This is the power of the Magnetic Oscillation Arrow Array." Zhang Yuan withdrew his fist, turned around and looked at the dumbfounded soldiers, "The combined power of ten people is equivalent to the effect of one hundred people. The combined power of one hundred people is equivalent to the effect of ten thousand people."

"No matter how thick the demon army's defenses are, they can't withstand this kind of impact."

Chaos Beast Suppression Array.

The core of the central defense.

The soldiers' positions corresponded to the chaotic star map, their auras were connected, and through the resonance of the armor's magnetic field, they formed an invisible force field covering the entire army.

Zhang Yuan ordered the central army to practice this formation.

The moment the formation was complete, everyone felt an invisible force connecting them together.

External attacks landing on this force field will be dispersed, weakened, or even reflected.

One of the breakers tried to attack the edge of the force field.

His knife struck as if it were hitting cotton, the force instantly dissipated.

The force of the rebound from the force field made his hand go numb.

"This formation not only weakens the erosion of demonic energy and soul attacks, but also disperses and transmits the impact to the earth," Zhang Yuan explained. "At the same time, some of the attack energy will be 'assimilated' by the chaotic properties and reflected back to the attacker."

"You are not fighting alone."

"The entire army formation is your armor."

"If the demon army hits you, they will also get hit."

On the third day, the equipment was upgraded.

Zhang Yuan came to the craftsmen's camp and personally provided guidance.

On the Earth Fire Forging Array Base, he used the power of Chaos Star Source to adjust the rune structure, bringing out the full potential of the Fire Refined Copper.

"Lihuo Jingtong (Lihuo Jingtong) is extremely yang and strong, and is naturally able to restrain demonic energy."

"The previous Demon-Slaying Crossbows were made of ordinary refined steel and could not penetrate the Demon General's protective demonic energy."

"Now, with this core set and arrows forged from refined copper, any monster below the Saint Realm will be killed with a single arrow!" The craftsmen worked day and night to finish the job.

The furnace fire never ceases, and the hammering never stops.

When the first batch of "Fire-Breaking Demon Heavy Crossbow" rolled off the production line, the old craftsman Zong personally tested it.

He pulled the trigger.

"collapse--!"

The arrow transformed into a streak of fire, piercing through the three-layered magic iron target a hundred paces away, embedding itself in the rocks behind it, and blasting a three-foot-deep crater.

The old craftsman Zong looked at the heavy crossbow in his hand, his eyes filled with tears.

"General...this crossbow is 30% stronger than the one used by the Heavenly Palace!"

Zhang Yuan nodded: "According to this standard, the entire army will be re-equipped. Within three days, I want every soldier in the vanguard battalion to be equipped with one."

The fourth day: a test of willpower.

Zhang Yuan patrols the camp daily.

It wasn't just a cursory visit; I went to each tent, chatted with the soldiers, ate with them, and listened to their stories.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

"General, my name is Tiezhu, and I am a native of Xuntianzhou. My parents were eaten by demons, and I joined the army to seek revenge."

"Alright. Tiezhu, train hard. After we defeat the demon army, I'll help you settle down in Tianyuan City."

"General... can you really repel them?"

Zhang Yuan crouched down to be at eye level with the young soldier.

"can."

"I assure you."

He didn't spout any grand principles.

He simply told everyone the story of how Ba Yue, the chief of the Burial Dragon Pass, was brought down.

Tell everyone the story of how the scouts from Team C risked their lives to deliver the intelligence.

Tell everyone the story of how they secretly delivered supplies through the ley lines.

Every story is true.

Every story contains the blood of comrades.

"Before General Ba Yue died, he entrusted the Han Yue Army to me." Zhang Yuan stood by the campfire, the firelight reflecting on his face. "He said that this army is the last hope of Xun Tian Continent."

"I don't want to let him down."

"I don't want to let you down either."

"So, I will lead you all to survive to the end and have the last laugh."

They remained silent by the campfire for a long time.

Then, someone whispered, "We swear to follow the general to the death!"

The sounds grew louder and louder, more and more numerous, until they finally merged into a roar—

"We swear to follow the general to the death!"

"We swear to follow the general to the death!"

"We swear to follow the general to the death!"

In just a few days, the entire camp took on a completely new look.

The soldiers' eyes changed.

No longer fatigue and confusion, but sharpness, determination, and a resolute willingness to face death at any moment.

Their vitality was even stronger, and their movements carried an earth-like steadiness and a beast-like ferocity.

The 300,000-strong army was like a piece of refined iron that had been repeatedly forged.

Its brilliance has already been revealed.

The iron will reignites.

Zhang Yuan stood on the command platform, watching all this, his left eye, Chaos Star, slowly rotating.

not enough.

The equipment is ready, the battle formation is ready, and the will is ready.

But there is one more step that must be completed before the war begins.

A spy within the city.

The game of power in the Heavenly Palace.

And... that key figure imprisoned deep within the Abyss Barrier. (End of Chapter)
