Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 45 Jia Yi Recruits and Attacks Cities

The banquet lasted until midnight before finally ending.

After the banquet, Jia Yi from the Hanxia Kingdom's military requested to speak with Jiang Chen alone.

Inside the meeting room, Jiang Chen and Jia Yi sat facing each other, each with a cup of tea in front of them to wash away the lingering taste of alcohol from the banquet.

"Second Speaker, you are neither a member of the Limitless Martial Arts School nor the Thunder Martial Arts School, nor do you hold any position in the HR Alliance. Would you be interested in joining the military of our Hanxia Kingdom?"

At the outset, Jia Yi went straight to the point, proposing various generous conditions.

As long as Jiang Chen joins the Hanxia Kingdom's military, he will not only receive the support of resources from the entire Hanxia Kingdom, but his position will also be higher than Jia Yi's.

He could even control the entire military of the Hanxia Kingdom.

"I'm used to being a loner and I'm not interested in joining any major power. Compared to me, Councilor Jia Yi, you are more suitable for this position."

Jiang Chen, however, chose to refuse outright.

"Since the Second Speaker is unwilling to take on such a substantive position, how about giving him a nominal title in the military? The military of Hanxia Kingdom urgently needs a strong person like the Second Speaker to join us."

Jia Yi insisted.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chen nodded: "Alright then. I also have deep feelings for my country. Taking on a nominal title and assisting the military when necessary is just a small favor for me."

"Then thank you very much, Second Speaker."

Jia Yi stood up and gave Jiang Chen a straight military salute.

"Councilor Jia Yi, what do you think of City 003?"

Jiang Chen suddenly asked.

"City No. 003, the former Tianhai City before its great rebirth?"

Jia Yi was taken aback, not understanding why Jiang Chen asked such a question, but still said, "That location is naturally excellent. It used to be one of the most prosperous and bustling international cities in Hanxia. However, because it is near the sea, it became a den of monsters after the Great Nirvana."

"So, Hanxia, ​​do you want to conquer this region and reclaim the lost territory?"

Jiang Chen asked again.

"Of course I want to."

Jia Yi nodded: "City 003 is located in a special area. All kinds of monsters in the sea land from there, come ashore, and drive straight in, posing a huge threat to the entire Jiangnan Base City, and even the Hanxia Kingdom."

"If we can capture City 003, we can build fortifications and establish a military base on the coast, thereby preventing the monsters from landing."

"At that time, the defensive pressure on the entire Hanxia Kingdom will be greatly reduced, and Jiangnan Base City will no longer need to be on high alert all the time, for fear that monsters will gather and form a beast tide that will sweep over the entire Jiangnan Base City."

"However, the number of various monsters in City 003 is very dense, and there are even quite a few king-level monsters."

"The Hanxia Kingdom, including myself, only has two or three planetary-level experts. It's simply impossible for them to conquer City 003."

Jia Yi sighed and shook his head.

Nothing is impossible.

Jiang Chen tapped the smart watch on his wrist, and a 3D map projection immediately appeared.

Jiang Chen pointed to City 003: "On September 10th, which is ten days from now, I will attack City 003 alone. At that time, remember to have the Hanxia military take back the territory that was lost."

"What did you say?"

Jia Yi was utterly astonished: "Second Speaker, are you planning to attack City 003? And alone?"

"That's right."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Since the Great Nirvana, humanity has been driven by monsters and shrunk to the base city. The living space has been compressed to the minimum, and everyone is struggling to survive."

"From the very beginning, this situation must be completely changed. Humanity will once again leave the base city, wipe out the monsters, reclaim lost territory, and the roles of offense and defense will be reversed!"

Of course, this is only a small part of the reason; Jiang Chen did not reveal the real reason.

Actually, he had another purpose in attacking City 003: to test his skills.

The Heavenly Slaughtering Sword Technique he created has not yet been tested in actual combat, and its effectiveness is unknown.

Therefore, a powerful enemy is needed to test the sword, examine its power, and make up for any shortcomings or immaturity.

But ordinary monsters are no longer a match for him.

So he set his sights on all the monsters in a city.

A single monster might not be suitable as a test subject for him, but billions of monsters would undoubtedly be very suitable.

But with so many monsters, it's not easy to find them.

Aside from the sea, the only other places on land with so many monsters are a few dangerous locations and a few large cities that were once close to the coastline.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

City 003 is undoubtedly the most suitable.

The monsters there are not only numerous, but also incredibly powerful, earning it the nickname "Demon Cave" among many martial artists.

Therefore, Jiang Chen chose this place as his test subject.

"However, such a high-profile approach to dealing with monsters might alert them. If high-level monsters unite under the pressure of survival and launch a monster tide, it might be impossible to control the situation."

Jia Yi was also very moved by Jiang Chen's impassioned speech, but he also had to consider the various realities of the situation.

"The intelligence of those high-level monsters is no less than that of humans. Although they fight each other now because of their incompatible personalities, they will unite to deal with humans when the pressure is too great."

"Such things have happened before. Several king-level monsters joined forces to form an incredibly terrifying catastrophic beast tide. Several base cities, including Jiangnan Base City, almost faced annihilation."

"This is not the worst outcome. If it attracts the two beast kings in the sea, the entire Hanxia Kingdom may suffer a devastating blow."

"If Councilor Jia Yi is worried, he can send the military to take security measures, set up defenses around City 003, and prevent the monster from retaliating."

"However, my plan to attack City 003 will not change."

Jiang Chen's words were resolute, indicating that there was no room for negotiation regarding the attack on City 003.

Seeing this, Jia Yi had no choice but to agree. He worked through the night to devise a detailed plan to support Jiang Chen's actions and also dispatched a group of troops to assist Jiang Chen.

Whether Jiang Chen's attack on City 003 fails or succeeds, there are corresponding contingency plans.

……

"Have you heard? The Hanxia military seems to be making a big move lately, with a large number of troops gathering here and even building fortifications. Could they be planning to attack this city, number 003?"

Within City 003, several teams of martial artists, training to hunt monsters, couldn't help but discuss the matter amongst themselves.

"Impossible, right? City 003 has at least five King-level monsters, and tens of thousands of Lord-level monsters. As for Beast General-level and Beast Soldier-level monsters, there are billions of them."

"Although the Hanxia military is quite strong, facing so many monsters is simply suicide."

Drip!Drip!

Just then, their communication watches suddenly rang, and a text message with the same content was sent to their communication watches.

[Dear martial artists, the Hanxia military will attack City 003 on September 10th. All martial artists currently within City 003 are urged to leave the city and surrounding area as soon as possible to avoid danger.]
