Lin Zhan watched Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Zhang Zhen, and Lin Shanhe sitting solemnly.
"Father, Father-in-law, three Old Ancestors, there's nothing for you to do here. You should go back and rest. It will only be when you are needed that the real tough battles will begin."
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "Marshal, rest assured, we old bones will not fail you. It's not time to rest yet. Once the front-line armies have stabilized, we can prepare. It's not too late."
Lin Shanhe agreed, "Zhan'er, Old Ancestor Bai Qi is right. We'll integrate the troops once the front line is stable. At a time like this, anything can happen at any moment. By waiting here, we can make decisions the fastest."
"At this point, even a minute's delay could mean countless brave soldiers fall on the battlefield. By waiting here, we can save some time," Zhang Zhen added, following Lin Shanhe's words.
Wang Jian and the other two looked at Zhang Zhen and Lin Shanhe and said, "The Marshal has great tolerance. Young man Shanhe, you have raised a good son."
"However, you two shouldn't be here. We three old men are sinners. Even if we die on the battlefield, it is what we deserve. You two young lads have such a good time, why must you be involved with us three old decrepits?"
Lin Shanhe smiled and said, "What are you three Old Ancestors saying? You three have fought on countless battlefields for the human race. Who can erase your achievements? On this point alone, who dares to call you sinners?"
"Furthermore, this little rascal Lin Zhan has never been serious since birth, he's not a proper person. It's normal for you three not to agree with him. Sometimes, even I, his own father-in-law, want to give him a thrashing." Zhang Zhen chimed in, pointing at Lin Zhan.
Lin Zhan was stunned by Zhang Zhen's words and then muttered softly, "If I'm not a proper person, why did you marry your daughter to me? Aren't you admitting you have dementia?"
...
Zhang Cong hung up the communication with Lin Zhan and fell into deep thought. After a while, Old Master Leng Ao walked in from outside. Seeing Leng Shan's appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Shan'er, what are you contemplating here? Don't you have any general-like demeanor?"
Leng Shan was startled to see the blood-stained Old Master Leng and asked, "Grandpa, what happened to you? How are you still in close combat at this time?"
"Old Grandpa Leng went to the front lines with me for reconnaissance. This battle is a bit unusual," Xiao Hanyi also walked in from outside. Xiao Hanyi's bloody aura was even stronger than Old Master Leng's, yet he didn't have a single drop of blood on him.
Xiao Hanyi then pointed at the map and said, "Dazhuang and the others have engaged the Giant Demon race, but the fighting is strange. As soon as our advance slows down, the Giant Demon race also slows down."
"But even so, the other fronts have engaged in battle, yet the Fifth Army Group's line has remained completely quiet."
Leng Shan was stunned and then narrowed his eyes at the map. Suddenly, a terrifying thought emerged, "Oh my, the Fifth route is in danger."
Leng Ao quickly stood up and said, "Shan'er, speak slowly, don't startle us. What exactly is going on?" Leng Shan quickly told them the speculation he and Lin Zhan had just discussed.
"The Fifth Route Army is led by Old Master Lin Wufa and Grandpa Lin Xiang, and they are also bringing Lin Zhan's two maternal uncles, along with the Xun Feng Legion of the Ouyang family."
"If this unit is defeated first, it will not only be a huge blow to our human race but also a significant blow to Lin Zhan personally."
Upon hearing this, Leng Ao was about to rush to support the Fifth Route Army without a second word. When they were young and inexperienced and started fighting the myriad races, who among them hadn't received care from Lin Wufa? Who hadn't been protected by Lin Xiang and Lin Tian when they went into battle? Afterwards, during a major battle, Lin Wufa, Lin Xiang, and Lin Tian were all severely injured. Lin Wufa and Lin Xiang, father and son, were critically injured and beyond treatment, so Di Xin had to seal them in the Royal Coffin to prolong their lives. Although Lin Tian could heal, before he could recover, he encountered the only son of the Bone Demon King and the strong warriors of the Bone Demon race. Lin Tian fought desperately and killed the strong warriors of the Bone Demon race, but he was also attacked by the Bone Demon King across realms, resulting in his death.
Leng Shan quickly stopped Leng Ao and said, "Grandpa, going alone won't help. Wait, we still have time." Then Leng Shan said to Xiao Hanyi, "Old Xiao, do you have any idle scouts?"
Xiao Hanyi nodded, "Yes, three thousand men were just withdrawn from the front line this morning and are resting. I will personally lead them to rescue Old Master Wufa."
Leng Shan shook his head, "You don't need to rescue the Fifth Route Army yet. Take these thirty thousand men and re-establish contact between the various armies. Also, keep a close watch on the movements of the Giant Demon race on these fronts." Xiao Hanyi nodded and left.
Then Leng Shan said to Leng Ao, "Grandpa, I still have 200,000 of our people here. Take 100,000 of them to rescue Great-Grandpa Wufa. I will also have 500,000 people from the White Tiger tribe detour from the rear to rescue the Fifth Route Army."
Leng Ao was surprised, "When did you move the White Tiger Legion to the rear? Also, if you only have these 200,000 people, and I take away 100,000, what about your central army camp?"
Leng Shan chuckled, "I'm afraid the Giant Demon race won't come looking for me. I have ambushed 1,000,000 Dragon Python Legion near the central army camp, and another 3,000,000 Earth Dragon Legion are waiting underground beneath my central army camp. I'm not afraid of the Giant Demon race coming to me, I'm afraid they won't."
Leng Ao's eyes widened, "You scoundrel, you're not thinking straight. You're using yourself as bait. There are many kings among the myriad races. Can you hold them off here?"
A killing intent flashed in Leng Shan's eyes, "All 5,000 Dragon Kings are here. In at most two hours, Da Hei will bring the kings of the Xuanwu race over. I am waiting for the kings of the myriad races to come."
Leng Ao was stunned, and then he started laughing. These youngsters have all grown up. They are all cunning and ruthless. The old man laughed heartily and walked out with his men. These cunning youngsters, do they still need these old guys to worry for them? That's a joke. These youngsters probably have their own schemes against those from the myriad races. It seems the only thing these old guys can do for these youngsters is to stabilize the situation until these children truly grow up. Old Master Leng mused about the changes in Leng Shan and the others, happily envisioning life after the myriad races have been pacified.
