Changing history, the terrifying power of the system!
"The Beastmen, one of the three hundred High-Grade Races on the Battlefield of the Heavens. There are many Martial Emperors in their clan. After they became dependent on the Giant Race ten thousand years ago, their power continuously grew and expanded. They still exist today, with ancient and profound foundations..."
Seeing the words in the history book, Jiang Qing clicked his tongue in amazement.
Jiang Qing clearly remembered that before this deployment, the Beastmen, with the Dragon Puppet as their Race Lord, were one of the top hundred races, on par with the Giant Race, and possessed immense power.
But now, the Beastmen's race ranking has not only dropped a level to become one of the three hundred High-Grade Races, but they have also become a subordinate of the Giant Race, and their overall power has shrunk by more than a little.
"The System is terrifying!"
Jiang Qing exclaimed.
The power to change the future by altering the past and rewriting history is an irresistible force, truly terrifying.
After his exclamation, Jiang Qing put down the Modern History of the Battlefield of the Heavens and took out a book placed beside it.
It was the Blue Star History Book, which recorded the development history of the Blue Star Human Race and the distribution of forces on Blue Star.
Looking at the geographical location of the Western Frontier Battlefield, the book stated that the three alien races that were originally opposed to the Human Race were not affected by the changes in the past.
They were still the Giant Race, the Dark Elves, and the Beastmen.
A single deployment could not affect too much, after all, the Beastmen were not annihilated; they survived by becoming dependent on the Giant Race.
If Jiang Qing waited a few more days and carried out a few more deployments, he might have a chance to eliminate these three alien races.
However, time waits for no one. Seven days had passed since the last major battle, and after a period of rest, a new major battle was about to begin.
The Human Race army would use all its strength to break through the two races' defense lines and reclaim lost territory.
Jiang Qing put down the book and stepped out to eat. More than half an hour later, he was full and satisfied.
After eating, Jiang Qing put on the heavy armor he wore during combat and arrived at the Divine Martial Army camp.
Seven days later, the Divine Martial Army, guided by Void Gazer, was completely renewed.
All Army Soul Formations had been improved and could be used jointly by the one hundred thousand Divine Martial Army, enhancing their power even more than before.
With the influx of Prodigies from various parts of the Great Xia Federation, the foundation of the Divine Martial Army was no longer as fragile as before.
Before, the Divine Martial Army, apart from Jiang Qing, had no capable generals. During operations behind enemy lines, victory relied entirely on Jiang Qing's strength alone.
Now, they not only had five Ten-Thousand Captains whose cultivation had reached the Martial Marquis Realm, but also a Martial Marquis guard, Guard Captain Su Xing, who followed him, and the commanding general, General Bai Yi.
"Greetings, General!"
As he walked into the military camp, whenever he passed a training ground, the soldiers practicing their horsemanship would all salute Jiang Qing.
After touring around, Jiang Qing was very satisfied.
His core team was finally established, and everything was handled extremely well without him having to do it personally.
Overall training decisions were formulated by Void Gazer, with the other Ten-Thousand Captains responsible for practical implementation. Military training matters were arranged in an orderly manner.
With the many Cultivation resources provided by Jiang Qing, the soldiers' Cultivation steadily improved, and their sense of belonging to the Divine Martial Army grew stronger.
Until noon.
Jiang Qing led General Bai Yi and Void Gazer to the command post for a meeting.
Arriving at the command post.
Jiang Qing led the two inside. Void Gazer, as a Saint-Grade Peak combatant, should naturally have been present for the meeting, but the inexperienced General Bai Yi surprised many martial generals.
The military values hierarchy above all else; orders are absolute, and soldiers must never overstep.
Those who could attend meetings at the command post before a major battle were at least commanding generals leading tens of thousands of troops.
Each of them held high positions of power, with their Cultivation starting at the King-Grade Realm, and they had to have achieved significant military merits on the battlefield to be allowed to attend the meeting.
However, General Bai Yi, although wearing the commanding general's tally, had no outstanding combat achievements in the past and was not originally qualified to attend this meeting.
But since Jiang Qing brought him, he must have his own intentions. The martial generals said nothing more, glanced at General Bai Yi, and then withdrew their gaze.
"Jiang Qing, come here." Zhang Xian, at the head, waved his hand, signaling Jiang Qing to stand at his first position on his right.
In the military camp, the right side is considered the place of honor. Normally, the one standing on the right would be the Vice Commander, Wang Long, signifying he was the second in command after Zhang Xian.
Hearing Zhang Xian's words, Jiang Qing naturally led the two over.
Given his current status, standing in this position was not inappropriate. If Zhang Xian were not the First Commander designated by the Great Xia Federation, even Zhang Xian would have to stand below him.
"Since everyone is here, let's begin discussing the war matters." Zhang Xian said, pointing to the area of confrontation between the two armies on the sandbox.
"This battle is a siege. If we want to reclaim the Blue Star territory occupied by the two alien races, we must break through their strategic defense lines, breach the cities, and directly enter the enemy's rear.
"In this battle, the cavalry under the various cavalry generals will be used as archers behind the infantry. The training of each cavalryman is not easy; it would be a great loss if they were sacrificed in a siege."
"Understood."
The many cavalry generals responded, with no objections.
They knew the difficulty of this battle; it would not be as easy as the previous engagement against the Beastmen.
At that time, the battleground was an open plain with no cover, most suitable for cavalry operations.
But now, it was completely different.
Looking at the sandbox, one could see the Human Race's defense line confronting the defense lines of the two alien races. The two defense lines were only tens of thousands of miles apart, but there were formidable city walls at the locations of the two alien races.
Although the Beastmen had previously stood in front to block the Human Race's attacks, the Giant Race and the Night Elf Race had not relaxed their vigilance. They had long since built majestic city walls hundreds of meters high along the border to resist foreign enemies.
They were not nomadic Beastmen; compared to nomadism, both races preferred to live in buildings.
They had long since erected high city walls, and now, majestic city walls hundreds of meters high stood towering into the clouds, extremely difficult to breach.
In addition to the border city walls, every settlement within the territories of the two alien races was defended by city walls, unlike the Beastmen whose residences were not fixed and had no city wall defenses.
Having city wall defenses also meant that even if the border was breached, it would be difficult to launch large-scale cavalry charges. To capture enemy cities, a siege was necessary.
The Beastmen suffered heavy losses because they had no city wall blockades. These two races were different.
The strategy Jiang Qing implemented last time was no longer feasible. At that time, there were no city wall blockades; he only needed to choose a weak point to break through the enemy's blockade and go straight to the rear, using the strength of thirty thousand cavalry to massacre multiple Beastmen tribes.
But this time, the borders of the Beastmen and the Night Elf Race were surrounded by majestic border cities hundreds of meters high, like the Great Wall of the Human Race, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Even the strongest cavalry would only be able to look on helplessly.
In a siege, the infantry still had to lead the charge; this was a life-threatening task.
Once the siege began, lives would be cut down like grass.
Training a cavalryman required several times more resources than an infantryman, so it was naturally impossible to use cavalry as infantry in a siege.
