Chapter 692: Chapter 484: The Army Advances Directly

In the end, the core purpose of this invasion was to verify their own growth.

Therefore, the consensus plan eventually reached after the discussion did not deviate from this objective.

“Let the great army advance directly,” a high-level commander declared decisively.

Unlike the all-out effort in facing trials, this time could be considered Human Civilization’s first large-scale war covering an entire civilization under normal conditions.

It was not a minor skirmish like before, but it was also not a life-or-death situation.

Thus, the first to enter was one of the large regular legions within the standard military corps.

Fully staffed with twelve billion people, including one billion from the core legion of Human Civilization, seven billion from the affiliated Civilization’s official military, and the last four billion as logistics and reserve troops.

This is also the common arrangement for large-scale legions in the current Human Civilization.

All members are of Transcendent Level or above at the Fifth Stage, and even more than ten percent are at the Sixth Stage. There are also more than thirty warriors at the Seventh Stage, with the highest-ranking legion commander reaching Level 67. Although it was just barely the Late Stage of the Seventh Stage, it was still considered very powerful.

Naturally, this was not the deployment of the most powerful legion of Human Civilization. Currently, the total number of official legions of Human Civilization had reached five thousand billion, including those completely composed of Sixth Rank warriors. The legion that led the invasion ranked squarely in the middle in terms of strength among all the armies of Human Civilization.

Choosing such a legion as the spearhead was naturally aiming at the test purpose.

However, for the selected legion, it was a rare opportunity.

Upon receiving the precise orders, the commander of the legion couldn’t even conceal the smile on his face.

“Brothers,” he spoke directly on the command channel addressing the entire army, “everyone perform at your best. After this battle, we will no longer be ‘mainstay’ but will become the ‘top-tier’!”

To become a top-tier legion was naturally not easy, but indeed, there was a chance!

So much so that the atmosphere in the entire legion was surging high.

For over four hundred years, even starting from very early on, the construction of legions by Human Civilization gradually shifted from defending families and fighting to the death to achieving merits and creating value.

After all, according to Shen Hao’s pursuit of the future of Human Civilization, it was not possible to always resist and struggle in despair. Sooner or later, they had to move towards true strength.

Even if there was still quite a distance from true strength, preparations had to start.

And now it seemed, achievements had been made.

The reason for choosing this legion, rather than others, was that the majority of the warriors in this legion were “new recruits”.

Here, “new recruit” does not refer to just becoming an official soldier, but refers to those born within these five hundred years who have never set foot in a real Trial.

Their performance was more representative for Human Civilization at this time.

With the army’s preparation complete, each individual received their special combat equipment.

These mainly included highly lethal weapons, equipment, and props.

Some, only accessible to those at the level of a legion commander, were even more special.

For example, a kind of large-scale Law attack that could be launched through an individual’s life-bound warship. Even the Heavenly Dao would suffer severe damage or possibly death in an instant. Only a Civilization of the Eighth Stage could possess such terrifying weapons, but now, Human Civilization was equipping them for any army corps.

As preparations were finalized, the vast legion quietly surged into the target location.

That was an area controlled by reconnaissance personnel who had entered earlier, belonging to the First Universe.

And it was very close to the “Infinite Abyss”.

While twelve billion warriors was a huge number, the size of each individual was incredibly small in the whole universe. Moreover, at this level, the concept of space size could easily be manipulated.

Not to mention each person’s individual warship, even the Ultimate Weapon larger than a star could be easily collected by the legion commander without showing up at all.

On top of that, everyone employed stealth techniques.

The high-quality Red Mythical level stealth magic was a skill that every qualified official soldier in the legion had to master. Even if there were spaceships or a Warrior passing right by them, it was uncertain whether they could detect this powerful legion hidden in the vast universe.

Twelve billion warriors stood silently in the universe, leaving no trace, no sound, all maintaining high uniformity. This massive scale and current stillness created a terrifying contrast.

This is the army of Human Civilization.

But it’s only at the initial arrival that they need to conceal their forms like this.

During this silent wait, the legion commander confirmed in very little time that the situation he observed was indeed consistent with what the reconnaissance personnel had scouted.

This was a necessary process.

The main purpose was not so much to worry about the reconnaissance personnel’s defection or being controlled, but the concern about drastic changes in the situation within a short time.

The lives of twelve billion warriors were in the hands of the legion commander, and caution was imperative.

But at this moment, with everything ready and no issues, a look of anticipation cracked across the legion commander’s face.
