The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Among the high-ranking generals of the Calamity Army, Su Qiong was Gu Xu's partner with whom he had worked the longest and had the closest relationship.

They could probably guess what Gu Xu's intentions were in calling them to a meeting.

She was silent for a moment, then looked up at Gu Xu: "Commander, do you mean... we should take down the elves as quickly as possible?"

Hearing this, Gu Xu nodded: "Yes, although those pointy-eared guys don't pose any real threat to us, keeping them around is a hidden danger."

"Although they are now a defeated and terrified army, if they really manage to bring those false god legions here, it will still have a significant impact on us!"

"Instead of letting them harass us behind our backs, it's better to just flatten it out and avoid any unforeseen complications."

Su Qiong nodded; she understood what Gu Xu meant.

After the battle of Falling Cloud City, the outer defenses of the Elven race have completely collapsed.

The Elven race is now like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out.

It barks fiercely, but it can't actually bite anyone anymore.

If you don't take the opportunity to kill it at this time, and wait for it to recover, it may not be able to cause any major trouble, but it will definitely disgust people.

Li Tiezhu chimed in from the side, "I agree with the corps commander's point of view!"

"There are basically no natural defenses left between us and the elves. We should push them over as soon as possible, so that the Devouring Dimensions don't arrive ahead of time and we don't have to deal with both sides. That would be a real problem."

Gu Xu glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Yes, that's exactly the point."

After saying that, he straightened up, placed his hands on the table, and scanned the faces of everyone present.

"So the plan for the next step is simple. My personal plan is to proceed in two steps."

"The first step is to advance at full speed, giving the elves no chance to breathe."

"We have a strong hand, and the troops are in high spirits. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot, push all the way to the Emerald Palace, and twist the head off that High Priest Elonnis."

"The second step is pre-war preparation."

At this point, Gu Xu's tone became even more serious: "In the process of advancing, we must simultaneously prepare to confront the regular army of the Devouring Dimensions."

"Troop reorganization, defense construction, logistical reserves, intelligence gathering—none of these tasks can be neglected."

"The elves are just a side dish; the dimensional beasts are the main course. We can't let our busyness with dealing with the elves delay the real battle."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the people present became much more serious.

After all, the scale of this operation is quite large.

No one knows when those false god legions will arrive.

In other words, even if they manage to deal with the elves first, the false god legion will arrive shortly afterward.

The entire Calamity Army was working non-stop, which was a considerable test of the soldiers' physical strength, mental state, and even willpower.

Li Tiezhu hesitated for two seconds before asking, "Commander, do we have enough troops right now? After all, the regular Dimensional Devouring Army is something that a local force like the Elf race can't compare to."

Gu Xu didn't answer, but turned to Jiang Shu: "Xiao Jiang, make a list of our current combat strength."

Jiang Shu responded and quickly made a few moves on the tablet.

In less than half a minute, she pulled up a detailed combat strength report.

"Commander, the combined forces of the Calamity Legion and the Qiongqi Legion currently number over 40,000!"

"Among them, there are seven Saint-level combatants, twenty-three quasi-Saint-level combatants of the eighth rank, five thousand four hundred seventh-rank professionals, and the rest are sixth-rank and fifth-rank professionals."

"In terms of equipment, 85% of the equipment is legendary and all personnel are equipped with epic equipment. As for logistical reserves, at the current rate of consumption, our supplies can support three months of high-intensity combat."

After reading the data, Jiang Shu looked up at Gu Xu.

"We have enough troops, but it's not enough to ensure safety."

After listening, Gu Xu tapped his fingers twice on the table. Then he looked at Su Qiong and said, "Sister Qiong, contact the General Headquarters later and ask them to transfer another 20,000 men from other war zones."

"They don't need to be all elites, just ordinary elite professionals will do, mainly for logistics and defense construction."

Although the Qiongqi Legion has already taken on most of the logistical work.

However, if used for constructing defensive lines, there would be an absolute shortage of manpower!

After all, they didn't know what kind of attack patterns and methods the Dimensional Devouring Gods had. If those things could devour dimensional space and launch a surprise attack, simple defensive fortifications would definitely not be able to withstand it.

This will definitely involve the use of many high-level items to enhance the diversity of defensive fortifications.

Su Qiong nodded: "Understood, I'll arrange it right away."

After speaking, she paused, then asked, "Commander, should we report the matter of the Devouring Dimension Regular Army to the Supreme Command now?"

As soon as the question was raised, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Xu.

Gu Xu was silent for two seconds, then shook his head.

"Not for now."

Su Qiong was taken aback: "No need?"

"No, no need."

Gu Xu leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms in front of his chest: "The old men in the General Headquarters have been racking their brains lately over the preparations for the alliance. The resource allocation of the various war zones and the coordination of diplomatic relations have kept them busy enough."

"Giving them information about the regular Dimensional Devouring Army at this time will only increase the pressure on them."

He paused, his tone softening slightly, and said, "Besides, it's no use saying it now. The real fighting force that the General Headquarters has to fight the regular army of Shiwei is right here in this room."

"Instead of making the old men worry, we should wait until we've dealt with the elves and made all the necessary preparations before reporting the news."

This was a blunt statement, but no one refuted it.

After all, that's the truth.

The majority of Shenxia's current high-level combat power reserves are concentrated in the Calamity Legion.

While other units also have Saint-level generals in command, none can compare to the Calamity Army in terms of individual skill ceiling or overall unit quality.

Not to mention, their legion commander's combat strength has long exceeded the scope that can be defined by the Origin level.

In other words, if they can't handle those false god legions, then the entire plane has no combat power capable of dealing with them.

"Alright, if that's the case, then it's settled."

Su Qiong was the first to speak up, crossing her arms and lighting a cigarette for herself: "I'll urge the General Staff's implementation plan to be ready first thing tomorrow morning."

At this point, she looked at Jiang Shu: "By the way, how much intelligence do you have about the heart of the Elf Forest?"

Jiang Shu quickly flipped through the tablet: "The information we've gleaned from the prisoners is limited, but we have a general framework for the defensive line distribution and troop deployment. The details still need further investigation."
