Chapter 1804: Chapter 1802: Integrating the Army

Of course, for Peter Brown right now, perhaps the most important thing was the integration of these 60,000 soldiers.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The visitors this time were a few generals from the original Wind and Thunder Army at the Seven-Star Peak, led by Caleb Henderson. Peter knew for sure that these individuals were former subordinates of Prince Harvey.

Seeing them arrive, Peter exhibited a warm demeanor, shaking each of their hands and offering comforting words.

Peter was a man with plenty of experience, and in no time he had figured out the situation with these few individuals.

After everyone had taken their seats, Peter said, "Due to the leak of our information, our army suffered a great defeat, and the entire Wind and Thunder Army was scattered. Luckily, we have managed to rally back. We have much to do now, and the first thing is the reorganization of the army. What do you all think?"

"Your Highness is right. Besides reorganizing the army, we also need to gather the scattered soldiers and rescue the prisoners of war, aiming to recover our army’s combat strength in the shortest time possible," said an old division commander named Xandros Walker, who clearly commanded great respect in the military.

Peter nodded slightly and said, "This time, our army suffered, but I have had a stroke of luck. The creation of the Energy Bomb is one such fortune. With such a device at our disposal, we should be able to achieve greater victories."

Actually, everyone was curious about Peter’s Energy Bombs. Now hearing him speak about it, they all nodded secretly—this fortunate discovery was awesome. With such a device, it would be an Ultimate Weapon on the battlefield.

These freed prisoners of war had also learned from others about Prince Harvey’s several battles, and they all understood that the formations and Energy Bombs were indeed awesome.

Peter looked at everyone and continued, "The task of reorganizing the troops shall be led by Xandros, Caleb, and Dennis Brown. Each of you will take command of twenty thousand soldiers. Discuss and proceed with all military organization among yourselves. As for me, I need to inscribe as many Energy Bombs as possible now. Additionally, the Seven-Star Array and Ten Absolute Array need to be taught to everyone. The oath must be sworn."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness. We will handle this matter well."

It was clear to everyone that Dennis Brown was one of the earliest to follow Prince Harvey, Caleb was a commander, and now with Xandros included, they represented three different power factions.

After Peter had given these instructions, he asked, "How many Seven-Star experts do we currently have?"

"Your Highness, after tallying it up, we currently have one hundred and twenty-nine people at the Seven-Star Level."

"Good, they are our strongest fighters and must learn the Ten Absolute Array."

After giving his instructions, Peter had a large plaza designated as a forbidden area. He planned to set up an even larger-scale Energy Gathering Array there, confident that it would be able to charge a vast number of Energy Bombs.

With over a hundred Life Planets in the Seventh Grade, Peter was truly not worried about the infusion and consumption of Life Energy. If it had been before, he would really not dare to produce Energy Bombs on such a large scale.

Sitting cross-legged here, Peter took out a connecting sphere from a Life Planet.

For Peter, upgrading his star power was not a difficult task.

However, this time Peter focused more on channeling the Life Energy from the Life Planet into the Divine Stones.

With the help of the Life Planet, Peter’s inscribing of the Divine Stone Charms became even faster. Often, just a few slashes were enough to complete the inscriptions for an Energy Bomb, which was then sealed with Life Energy.

Once this program was complete, Peter placed the Divine Stone into the Energy Gathering Array to begin charging.

The first thing Peter inscribed, of course, were top-quality divine stones. With the large Energy Gathering Array in place, Peter found that his speed had increased.

As the number of Divine Stones piled up, the plaza was bathed in shimmering lights. Beams of energy cascaded from the Horizon Sky, transforming Lake Ridge Star into a veritable Energy Star.

The general and soldiers of the Purpolia Kingdom, seeing the spectacle created by Peter, felt increasingly reassured; they knew that with the Energy Bombs Peter had produced, victory in battle was assured.

By this point, Xandros and the others had already finished the army’s reorganization.

For the Wind and Thunder Army, reorganizing itself was not difficult; it was simply a matter of placing those with higher cultivation in appropriate positions.

Watching everyone practice the formations, the three men gathered in a room.

Xandros said, "His Highness trusts us with critical matters; now it is up to us to assist His Highness in his military campaigns. The first thing we need to do is establish a scout team. This army must swiftly clarify the situation of friends and foes across the region; otherwise, we won’t know how to engage the enemy."

Caleb just smiled and commented, "The scout team is one aspect, and I can contribute in other ways as well."

After a moment, Xandros laughed and said, "I indeed forgot the key part; you have your Star Devouring Rat, which I believe has many clans. It can be entrusted with the Investigation tasks."

Caleb nodded and replied, "I have arranged for that. My Star Devouring Rat has already gone to handle this task, and I believe it will soon have clear information about this area."

Dennis smiled and said, "It seems you’re already ahead of us. Therefore, our job now becomes simple—train the soldiers well and make sure they are proficient with the formations."

Caleb added, "Based on this battle, we’ve also discovered some issues. Since our army forms fixed seven-person squads, the formation collapses when one person dies. We must develop battlefield awareness among our troops so they can actively and quickly fill any gaps."

Dennis agreed, "Indeed, this must be rigorously drilled."

Xandros may not have been as clear about formations as the other two, but he knew their importance and listened intently.

Xandros continued, "One more thing we need to focus on, our army suffered a great defeat this time. If not for His Highness’s timely intervention, our power would have been wiped out already. We really aren’t clear what attitude the Divine Nation might take to this."

At the mention of this, everyone’s expression changed. Indeed, this was a difficult issue to handle, and they were unsure of how His Highness might respond.

"Everyone, let’s just do our jobs well," Caleb suggested confidently. "I’m sure His Highness has his own ideas. If it doesn’t work out, all 60,000 of us have sworn loyalty to His Highness. Where could we not go following His Highness?" Caleb was now absolutely loyal to Prince Harvey.
