The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2948 The war begins
"boom!"

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth roared, and the earth trembled.

Lin Chen and the others hovered in mid-air, looking at the massive defensive line in the distance with solemn expressions.

Further ahead of the defensive line, flames blazed, the sky shattered, the wind howled, and the earth shook.

Chen Shuihe's expression was grave as he said in a low voice, "The war has begun!"

Everyone wore solemn expressions. The start of the battle meant they were about to step onto the front lines. After all, they belonged to the First Legion, which always charged to the front lines and the most critical positions.

Chi Ya said softly, "This should be a tentative engagement between the two sides, a warm-up before the battle, and this situation will last for quite a while."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Since the passage isn't fully open yet, why not concentrate our forces to crush them all, or even block the entrance and kill them one by one, or two at a time?"

Chen Shuihe replied, "Because of the Demon God Thunder."

Lin Chen turned his head: "What's that?"

Chen Shuihe explained with a solemn expression: "It is an explosive magic weapon with extremely high power. It is very difficult to make, but its power is super huge. In the earliest days, the Immortal Realm thought of sealing off the passage to prevent anyone from passing through and completely blocking them in the Demon Realm."

"At that time, a large number of powerful people gathered outside the passage, and the demons could not break through. So they sent a suicide squad with the Demon God Thunder to rush out of the passage and detonate the Demon God Thunder."

"The Demon God Thunder exploded, killing or injuring countless immortals who were blocking the entrance to the passage. The losses were devastating, and the area within a radius of hundreds of miles was razed to the ground. The demons seized the opportunity to break through the defenses. In the end, they paid an extremely heavy price to drive them back."

"After that battle, the Immortal Realm abandoned its plan to block the passage because it was impossible to block it. If the enemy came with the Demon God Thunder and detonated it, it would cause huge damage. So after careful calculation, they retreated a huge distance and built a defensive line."

"The position of the defensive line has been calculated. If the enemy uses the Demon God Thunder to bombard the defensive line, even if the defensive line is shattered, the huge explosion will still affect the demon camp behind, causing them huge casualties."

"The defensive line appears to be a single unit, but it is actually segmented. Even if one segment is breached, the other segments will continue to function. The immortals only need to plug the gaps to prevent anyone from rushing in, while the defending legions can repair the line in a very short time." "Once their people arrive, in addition to the powerful figures holding the line, they will also have a considerable number of demonic lightning bolts. If we send in a small number of troops, we won't be able to overwhelm them. However, if we send in a large number of troops, and their people are all killed or wounded, they will detonate the demonic lightning bolts and deliver a heavy blow to us."

Hearing this, Lin Chen roughly understood: "So, this Demon God Thunder has become their trump card, ensuring that our people dare not exterminate them, but can only strangle them within certain rules?"

Chi Ya sighed, "Yes, so after so many battles, the Immortal Realm finally decided on a strategy of only defending and not attacking, giving them enough space to move around and leaving enough area for combat. Both sides fought within certain rules and held out until the passage closed. Then we would consider this war a victory."

"Right now, the fighting is mainly between squads of a thousand men, with each squad taking turns to fight and kill each other until the passage is fully opened. Then the demon army will pour in continuously and launch a long and brutal all-out attack on our defenses."

Lin Chen sighed: "So the current battle can only be considered a small skirmish, like two armies testing each other before they clash?"

"Yes!"

Chen Shuihe explained, "It's like a battle between vanguard forces. If the vanguard wins, the morale of the troops behind will naturally soar. If they lose, their morale will naturally plummet. Although immortals possess terrifying power capable of destroying the world, once they are on the battlefield, there is no difference between immortals and ordinary soldiers."

"This battlefield is a meat grinder. Both sides have to keep throwing soldiers in. Whoever can't keep up means they've lost..."

Lin Chen frowned: "Does that mean we're going to go?"

"Yes!"

Chi Ya replied, "In the early stages, the legions take turns fighting. No matter how they rotate, it will probably be our turn soon."

Lin Chen hummed in agreement and fell into deep thought.

A battle involving a thousand people, attracting the attention of thousands, if I were to bring out Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian, ​​I could certainly win, but it would also expose my trump cards. Moreover, the intervention of a Quasi-Saint would inevitably provoke the intervention of a Demonic Quasi-Saint.

But if we don't intervene, wouldn't the Haoran Sect disciples suffer heavy casualties in a bloody battle, regardless of who wins or loses?
Although casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, as the sect leader, I can't just stand by and watch them die, can I?
