God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

"Let's go!" Arvind, leading his army, did not follow the planned route, but instead took a detour, passing through the area mentioned by Altay.

Later, through documents, seals, and handwritten letters from Altay, Avind witnessed the true essence of the Shuangmi lineage.

"Greetings, Lord Shuangmixi!" After confirming the documents and seal, Kargath-Kilrogg, a former subordinate of Altai who had been carrying out certain special missions during his retirement, said.

Arvind looked at the soldier who was older than himself and fell silent instantly.

Just by feeling the aura emanating from the other party, it seemed that they were in no way weaker than themselves.

This isn't some expert who can project their internal energy, but a soldier!

Even under the clouds, the fact that it could convey such a feeling to him was truly terrifying.

"Kagaz's five hundred soldiers report to Lord Shuangmixi!" After confirming his identity, Kargaz led his soldiers directly to Arvind to report.

Kargath didn't bring many men, only five hundred.

This number of people, for example, is from the Shuangmi faction. Even a small chieftain of a small state can easily muster this number of troops. Someone like Valena can, if he wants, muster ten times, or even dozens of times, more troops.

But Awende, who took over this group of people, knew very well who these people were who Altay had entrusted to him.

The number of soldiers was indeed small, only five hundred, and their equipment was not very good. They were just like ordinary northern soldiers, and their strength varied greatly. The strong soldiers could make it wary, while the weak soldiers seemed average.

While the proportion of strong individuals is indeed somewhat high, it's not unusual in the context of the entire northern Yuezhi region.

What's truly special is that all five hundred of them understand flag signals, advance and retreat coordination, information transmission, and so on.

In other words, these 500 men were not just ordinary soldiers, but officers capable of holding the rank of centurion or higher. They were not the kind of officers who relied on force, but rather on command and planning to lead their troops.

With this group of people in hand, and after assembling troops, the Shuangmi faction could quickly build a force of over 40,000 men who would obey orders and commands.

With this number of troops, combined with the publicly acknowledged military strength of the Shuangmi faction, the total force is close to 100,000.

An army of this size, combined with Altay's command and combat capabilities, could completely annihilate any other group in the north, including any regional command within the Barak Central Defense System Legion.

Now, this army is in his hands, becoming his strength, or rather, another kind of foundation, supporting him to move forward and to welcome the princess of the Han Empire.

"Come with me, it won't be a waste of time," Arvind said ambiguously, shaking his head slightly.

These forces followed him to Chang'an, but the final outcome will likely not satisfy everyone.

But things have already come to this point, and there's no choice but to regret or stop.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Kargath's eyes blazed with fury. His prime-aged body still unleashed tremendous power to face any future, even a cruel one.

However, even Kargath, who was truly prepared, realized something was amiss as he followed Arvind north. The army that had initially advanced numbered at least ten thousand, but now the number of troops heading north seemed to be increasing.

Without marching too far, Arvind, relying on pre-prepared military orders and documents, set up camp about two hundred miles southeast of the Pamir Mountains.

The number of people who continued to advance then dropped significantly, and the number of people decreased to less than three thousand.

In particular, most of the Kargath 500 men remained in this camp, mixing, reorganizing, and training the troops in the camp into a team—a coordinated, organized, and specialized team.

This specially structured and targeted team was born from Altay's recollection of the legendary Han Empire's central imperial guard system, drawing inspiration from and utilizing certain elements.

"As long as the number of people meets the standard, we can definitely train the corresponding legion. We have been preparing for this for more than ten years." Kargath looked at Arvind calmly, not hiding their purpose.

"More than ten years? That's really tough. To be able to persevere for so long is truly impressive." Arvind, who hadn't quite understood what was being said, nodded in acknowledgment of Kargath and the others' efforts and perseverance.

Seeing that Arvind didn't react, Kargath didn't offer any further reminders.

Only when they themselves become aware of all this will it all have meaning. Even if they raise this issue now, it is easy for all their efforts to be in vain.

They've waited for over a decade already; they don't need to, and don't want to, wait another decade.

Valener and Kenmail exchanged a glance, both seeing the deeper meaning in each other's eyes, and understanding that the other definitely understood the meaning of those words.

Valener quickly assessed the implications in his mind and immediately realized something was amiss.

What was the purpose of preparing for this configuration and standard modeled after the Central Guard? And why has it been prepared for so many years?

More than ten years ago...

After glancing at Arvind, Valena immediately suppressed his thoughts and opinions, deciding not to reveal them.

Knowing too much and thinking too much is sometimes not a good thing. Just like what he saw and made connections this time, if it gets out, it will definitely cause a big problem.

"Let's go, let's head to Chang'an!" He shook his head on the spot, suppressing the thoughts and opinions in his heart, and stated the destination of this trip.

Once this destination is communicated, it will be enough to boost the morale of the soldiers, and they will even look forward to it.

Even Kargas, who had honed his skills over many years, felt curious and experienced emotions that would not normally arise when he heard the name of the Han Empire's princess.

Leaving behind the main force, Awende, with nearly two thousand men, embarked on a rapid journey back to Chang'an.

Although their numbers were small, their quality and equipment were outstanding, even by the standards of the Han Empire, giving them a significant advantage.

Even so, it would still take Arvind and his men nearly a month to reach Chang'an, and that was assuming they had access to a map. (End of Chapter)
