"This is indeed a valuable item. Its existence is even more significant than a single combat unit in cross-regional battlefields." Yu Jin glanced at the token on Zang Ba's waist and nodded slightly.

It is precisely because of the existence of this thing that large-scale regional wars have become possible.

In the past, it would have been practically a dream for an ordinary person to wage such a cross-regional super war. However, if someone could actually do it, they would be no different from an inhuman being.

With the existence of such a device, cross-regional operations become possible.

Especially in the current war against the Kushan Empire, adopting this kind of cross-regional joint warfare can better widen the information communication gap between the two sides, thereby reducing the gap in troop strength and manpower.

"It's a pity that the quantity is too small and the basic requirements for its use are too high. If it could be deployed to the level of legion commander, the combat effectiveness could be increased by almost 50% in cross-regional operations..." Recalling the explanations of those wise men, Zang Ba said with some dissatisfaction.

“That’s true.” Yu Jin thought about the effects of delegating such a thing to the legion commander level and nodded slightly.

To fully utilize the combat power of this kind of thing, it is enough to demote it to the level of legion commander. Delegating it further down would not be very meaningful.

Being able to command a legion commander is equivalent to having hundreds of command lines among hundreds of thousands of troops across regions. Being able to direct them with ease means that the combat power they unleash on this massive battlefield makes defeat virtually impossible.

As for being demoted to the rank of centurion, that's beyond the reach of a human being; even someone as brave as Han Bai couldn't accomplish that.

After all, there is a certain delay in the transmission of information. Although this delay is not long, even shorter than the time it takes to command lower levels on the battlefield, it will gradually lengthen as the quantity increases.

However, most people, including Yu Jin, did not regard this defect as a defect.

For Jin, it would currently take about 2 to 3 days to get a response from the Han Empire's naval forces through conventional means.

Using tokens to transmit information takes less than a moment, with the most time-consuming part being the thinking and reading of information.

"Should we continue to advance?" Zang Ba glanced at the Han flags erected on the hilltop, remained silent for a moment, and then added.

Although they were still quite a distance from the harbor, their blatant and undisguised actions seemed to prematurely expose their presence, which appeared rather foolish for an army that had not yet been revealed…

"Let's set up camp here and wait until the camp is ready before moving on," Yu Jin said, raising his binoculars and gazing at the horizon as he outlined the plans and outcomes.

"Aren't we really going to expose our position like this?" Seeing that Yu Jin didn't realize this and continued to gaze into the distance, Zang Ba cautiously reminded him again. "Expose our position?" Yu Jin put down his binoculars, turned to look at Zang Ba, and said as calmly as possible, "Judging from the port defenses set up by the Kushans, we know they're not stupid. The necessary search and protection measures, the perimeter lines, etc., are all in place without any omissions. They're quite well-prepared, which shows their caution and the completeness of their information. Judging from this, our army's journey through the mountains to build roads to this place has probably already been discovered by them."

"They were discovered long ago?" Upon hearing this, Zang Ba recalled his journey and his face darkened. He exclaimed, "Those damned barbarians! It's astonishing that they would help the Kushans!"

“What’s done is done, and no amount of anger can change the current reality. So we might as well make our stance clear and directly deter the enemy.” Yu Jin gestured to the gradually improving army camp, then pointed to the northern city of the Strait of Malacca and smiled gently.

"Do we need to take this city?" Following the direction Yu Jin pointed, Zang Ba also saw the newly built city.

Unlike regular cities, this city is clearly positioned as a fortress, with layered defenses and various ranged attack methods, as if to say that this city is not so easy to take.

"Necessary, and unnecessary," Yu Jin answered almost without thinking.

Zang Ba thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.

“Our army is mainly composed of infantry, so even if we were to launch a siege, it wouldn’t be too difficult. However, doing so would not meet the initial requirements for the war.” Zang Ba explained the purpose of his trip, then gestured to the sea fortress, instantly realizing that this city was not so easy to conquer.

Even a newly built city, without being properly maintained for such a long time, would not have outstanding defensive capabilities. However, this does not mean that such a newly built city has no defensive capabilities. On the contrary, as a special type of military construction, its defensive capabilities are terrifyingly strong.

“As long as our army is here, the Kushans will be alert and cautious as long as they see our flags. So we can just wait quietly.” Yu Jin was not in a hurry at all, quietly waiting for the order to arrive. Before the navy relayed the order, all he needed to do was maintain the current momentum, nothing more.

Whether the enemy cares or not is not something he should consider.

"I see, there's actually such a method." Zang Ba nodded slightly, and immediately began to rub his hands together in anticipation.

Without knowing the size and military strength of the Han Empire, the personnel stationed in the Strait of Malacca had to be more vigilant and cautious, lest the Strait of Malacca be occupied and destroyed by the Han Empire again, which would then cause trouble for the Kushan navy.

"As long as we have troops and power, whether we fight or not is no longer important. Just staying here has already accomplished our mission of containment." A cold glint flashed in Yu Jin's eyes before he returned to normal.

Regardless of the Kushan navy's intentions, upon seeing the flags atop the northern mountains, the tiered military camps, and the Han Empire's flags fluttering in the wind, they were immediately impressed.

Of those who remained in the Strait of Malacca, not one of them had a calm and composed mindset.

Cecissarian led the entire naval fleet northwards, leaving behind only these personnel. Could they truly contend with the elite army of the Han Empire? (End of Chapter)
