God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

As the flags were raised, the Han Empire's army, which had been prepared in advance, began to assemble rapidly, forming legions centered around their commanders, and quickly converging into a large army formation.

The entire process wasted only a quarter of an hour.

Sixteen legions were assembled and ready for battle in such a short time.

Even with prior training and notification, the fact that they were able to assemble and prepare in such a short time is enough to demonstrate the elite nature of this Han Empire force, and also to showcase Yu Jin's command skills.

Two physically specialized shield guards, two normal shield guards, two crossbow and shield legions, three elite Danyang legions, five elite Qingzhou legions, and the main forces of Yu Jin and Zang Ba.

"Fully armed, clad in armor, and arrayed in formation, let's charge straight ahead!" Yu Jin looked at the Kushan city located near the coastline in the distance, making no attempt to conceal their movements.

In other words, the assembly and reorganization of a large army cannot be truly hidden.

Even at night, it would be impossible to do that.

The Kushan army in the Strait of Malacca had long taken notice of this Han Empire army force from the north.

However, the past achievements of the Kushan army led them to abandon the idea of ​​directly challenging the Han Empire's army on land.

With equal numbers of troops, none of the generals stationed at the Strait of Malacca believed they could defeat the Han Empire's army.

Especially given the lessons learned from the past, everyone is aware of the situation.

Moreover, the Han Empire's army troops that arrived this time were, from any perspective, in no way inferior to the elite troops of the Han Empire's army in the past.

With a larger number of troops, better equipment, and better coordination, they didn't seem like an easy opponent, and no one would be foolish enough to jump out and fight against the Han Empire's army.

However, not wanting to fight did not mean that they were not paying attention to the Han Empire's army. In fact, precisely because they did not want to fight, the people in the Strait of Malacca were observing the movements of the Han Empire's army in a comprehensive, round-the-clock, and all-encompassing manner.

The Straits of Malacca reacts to any slight disturbance or unusual situation in the shortest possible time and makes what it believes to be the right choice.

When the Han Empire's army began to assemble, the familiar generals of the Malacca Strait forces at all levels were quickly awakened, gathered together, and notified.

"Gentlemen, the imperial army has begun to assemble. It seems that the Han Empire's long-prepared attack will begin soon." As the temporary ruler of the Strait of Malacca and a member of the Cesi family, Rohir, under the gaze of everyone, spoke of the reconnaissance information he had received and shared it with everyone present.

Everyone who heard this news perked them up considerably.

For a moment, many people looked at each other, completely unsure how to speak, or even afraid to step forward. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, no matter where you are. Whether what you say is right or wrong is sometimes unimportant; what matters is that you spoke up, and then you become the nail that sticks out.

Faced with Rothschild's words, most people lowered their heads, pretending they knew nothing.

If it were a naval confrontation, not a single officer present would be afraid of the Han Empire's generals, but as for the army, they would stay as far away as possible.

“Our land forces are insufficient. Even if the Han Empire launches a full-scale attack, all we can do is defend the city and buy time. There is no other way.” Seeing everyone’s silence, Ghazni, who possessed the talent of a legion and could also lead a fleet in land battles, hesitated for a moment before revealing the current reality, a fact that everyone knew.

However, knowing something is one thing, but knowing it doesn't solve the problem.

The most important thing now is how to solve this problem, not how serious it is.

“It would be difficult for our few legions to stop the elite troops of the Han Empire.” Sitting in the other direction, Zhu Jiayebo, who was also a fleet commander, gave his answer after thinking for a moment.

Unlike others, Zhu Jiayebo also possesses the talent of leading armies and is also able to lead troops in land battles.

Moreover, due to the unique effects of Legion talents, they also possess the ability to filter and judge enemy forces in a certain sense.

Legion Talents, Legion Lock, can lock the talents of enemy or friendly forces, thereby gaining a certain regular attribute of a particular legion in the same battle, and can also randomly gain two other attributes.

In other words, apart from the regular attributes that can be selected beforehand, the other attributes or buffs that can be obtained are largely based on luck.

Regardless of appearance, Zhu Jiayebo's Legion Talent allows him to assess all other Legion Talent holders on the battlefield.

"From the previous tests alone, I can sense that there are at least two people in the Han Empire with the talent to lead armies." Zhu Jiayebo recounted the results of his previous tests once again, not minding adding some psychological pressure to everyone.

“If it were just two Legion Talents, we have those here too, so there’s no need to worry too much. But the real trouble is never the elite troops enhanced by those two Legion Talents.” Ghazna had some understanding and judgment about the Han Empire’s Legion Talents, so he wasn’t too afraid.

"It's a truly massive super force, almost entirely composed of armored soldiers." Without needing further explanation from the two, Rothschild stated the deduction that had already been proven, then immediately denied it, saying, "We understand all of that, but the question now is, how do we stop their advance?"

"Defend the city and hold out for as long as we can. If we can get through the night, the fleet can provide long-range strikes to assist in the city's defense during the day." Seeing the unanswered looks in everyone's eyes and their reluctance to face him, Ghazni couldn't help but sigh inwardly and added helplessly.

“Very well. In that case, General Ghazni will lead the troops to defend the city and try to delay it until daytime, so that our army can provide long-range strike support.” Rosier nodded and made the arrangements. He glanced at Zhu Jiayebo and then at the others, and said quite seriously, “Everyone should also prepare in advance. When the environment is brighter, we can carry out long-range strikes to provide support. We don’t necessarily have to wait until daytime.”

Upon hearing this, Ghazni's expression softened slightly. (End of Chapter)
