Chapter 945: Chapter 474: Undead Ambush

Long Dangdang said, "Although the military has appointed me as the commander of the Luminous Knights Order, none of us have military experience, and we’re unfamiliar with leading troops. So, everything should remain as it was. You’ll still be responsible for the daily affairs of the legion, including troop deployment. Menglu will go and communicate with the priests to ensure they’re ready to assist. As for us, if a battle arises, we’ll directly join the fight, and you will still be the one in command."

Long Dangdang didn’t intend to meddle or take over the Luminous Knights Order as if it were his own domain; that was never his goal or direction. Joining the order was more about adding to his military résumé, something the Knights Temple wanted him to do to pave the way for his future. He wasn’t familiar with commanding armies, so he planned to keep his interference minimal and leave the specialized tasks to the professionals.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he first saw how young Long Dangdang and his companions were, he was honestly a bit worried. He had no doubts about Long Dangdang’s personal strength—being the final champion of the Great Impartation Contest undoubtedly made him the most outstanding young professionist of his generation. However, a powerful professionist might not necessarily make a good commander. The young man’s delegation of authority put Zhong Li at ease and also increased his admiration for him. He understood that the young commander’s future was aiming for much more than just leading a knightly order. After all, he was succeeding Supreme Commander Xi Che, who already possessed the Holy Haochen Badge, effectively equating him to a Sacred Legate.

With orders from the Command Department, the Federation’s Legion began to break camp orderly. The legions of the Warriors Temple moved out first, advancing forward in a fan-shaped formation as the Wraith Empire’s defenses retracted, pressing on them. At the same time, the Priests Temple at the front had already started setting up the first light source array while the rear remained protected by an unlifted light source array.

At the time, Long Dangdang was accompanying Zhong Li as they led the first division of five hundred Luminous Knights from the Luminous Knights Order to the front line, following the priest corps to guard them as they established the light source array.

Long Dangdang didn’t release Little Eight, who was too conspicuous. Instead, he used his Spirit Wings with a few companions to hover five hundred meters in the air, looking out into the distance.

The view from above was the most shocking; standing five hundred meters high, one could see from afar the wraith legion spreading across the sky like a dark cloud, the thick, rolling wraith energy reaching up and forming vast swaths of wraith clouds that enveloped the countless wraith entities below. At a glance, it seemed boundless.

Just in terms of numbers, the Wraith Kingdom’s wraith legion far outnumbered the human side. The combined forces of the Human Race Six Sacred Temples amounted to only about a million, while the number of wraiths at the front line was at least over five million. Of course, in terms of individual combat strength, ordinary wraiths were obviously no match for professionists.

In such a nation-threatening war, the outcome would ultimately depend on the number of top-tier powerhouses each side possessed. How many lives would be lost if a 9th Rank powerful expert launched a Forbidden Spell targeting ordinary warriors?

The demands of both sides in this standoff differed. The humans didn’t know why the Wraith Kingdom wasn’t launching an offensive, but the Federation’s strategy was to advance steadily, gradually weakening the overall strength of the Wraith Kingdom until their complete annihilation. They were also always on guard for a possible sudden total offensive from the wraith legion, ready for any contingency.

Since the beginning of the war, the Federal Army had undoubtedly been successful, especially with the recent destruction of the wraith altars and the discovery of the Wraith Kingdom’s foundations. Their overall strategy against the Wraith Kingdom was undeniably a success.

Therefore, the advance of the great army toward the front to exert pressure wasn’t hasty at all—it was a steady progression. The distance between the two sides was still maintained consistently, with no intention of overly pressuring the Wraith Kingdom.

The battlefront stretched long, extending for hundreds of kilometers, with neither side daring to launch a total offensive rashly.

Gazing toward the wraith encampment in the distance, Long Dangdang’s mood couldn’t help but grow heavy, wondering if his parents were in the opposing camp. He hoped it all would end soon.

With nothing else to see here, the frontline legions of the Warriors Temple had set up their defenses. Now that the first light source array was being established, following its completion, additional light source arrays would gradually be built on both sides, using the condensation of light elements to press back the wraith energy towards the direction of the Wraith Kingdom. Long Dangdang planned to return to the barracks with his companions for cultivation, for increasing their cultivation level was the most important thing for them. Once he reached the 9th Rank, he would have a chance to be assessed for the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex.

Just as he was about to signal his friends to return, suddenly, Long Dangdang felt an alarm in his heart, and his normally calm eyes instantly became sharp. He turned around abruptly and looked in a certain direction.

As Little Evil absorbed more Soul Crystals, his spiritual power kept increasing along with Little Evil’s improvements. Additionally, the Soul Crystals absorbed by Little Evil contained wraith energy, making him very sensitive to wraith energy detection.

"Be careful, there are enemies," Long Dangdang shouted, instantly releasing the Adamantine Cathedra and letting the Adamantine Cathedra battle armor cover his entire body.
