A few staff officers activated the projector, and a full map of the entire human defense line instantly appeared before everyone.
Lin Zhan looked at the map and said, "We have a total of three defense lines. I have rebuilt the entire defense line and equipped it with a large number of siege weapons and turrets. This battle aims to defeat the lizardmen, but more importantly, it is to test our heavy cannons, rapid-fire cannons, and missiles."
"Our current main combat strength is 20 million. Patriarch Bai Qi's God of Slaughter Army will remain as support troops. The remaining 18 million will be divided into three parts and assigned according to the establishment of three army groups. After the battle, I will help you replenish the personnel according to the planned establishment."
"The left flank, Fortress No. 2, will be defended by Commander Jiang Zhongtian, leading the Hundred Battles Legion and 5 million troops."
"The central Fortress No. 1 will be defended by Commander Zhang Zhen and Deputy Commander Lin Shanhe, leading the Thunder God Legion and 5 million troops."
"The right flank, Fortress No. 3, will be defended by Commander Ouyang Chengshan, leading the Swift Wind Legion and 5 million troops."
"In addition, each fortress will be equipped with 40,000 twin rapid-fire cannons and 10,000 heavy cannons, along with the corresponding operators. However, all cannons are not allowed to be used or fired without orders. They must wait until the sealed dimension before they can be used."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Although the three commanders were all close friends and confidantes of Lin Zhan, military orders were like mountains, and military etiquette had to be observed.
Lin Zhan looked at the commander of the Logistics Legion and asked, "Has the Logistics Legion improved and constructed the entire defense line according to the standards?"
"Reporting to Commander, all defense lines have been constructed according to the blueprints and planned schedule. They have been inspected and are all qualified," the commander of the Logistics Legion saluted Lin Zhan.
"Good, after the war, I will celebrate the Logistics Legion."
Then Lin Zhan looked at Leng Feng and said, "General Leng Feng, all missile units are under your command. Have the personnel of the missile units become familiar with them these past few days?"
"Reporting to Commander, all personnel of the missile units are ready for battle at any time. The fixed coordinates have been in place yesterday, including the two major clans and ten major tribes of the lizardmen, who can be located and struck at any time. We will certainly not disgrace the might of our Hua Xia army," Leng Feng stood up and saluted.
Lin Zhan nodded after listening, then his gaze turned to the elder Leng Ao: "Grandpa Leng, I'll trouble you to continue monitoring the enemy's movements."
Leng Ao stood up and nodded, "Commander, rest assured, all movements of the lizardmen army are under our control. Once the lizardmen cross the central part of the Great Marsh, it will be time for us to prepare for battle."
Lin Zhan felt a little embarrassed when Leng Ao called him commander, so he quickly said, "Please don't call me that, just call me Zhan'er. I'll trouble Grandpa Leng with the lizardmen's movements."
Leng Ao nodded and said, "What can't be called? Although we have kinship, military etiquette cannot be discarded. The current commander is you, Lin Zhan. Anyone who dares to disrespect you as the commander, don't blame this old man for killing him and feeding him to the dogs."
As Leng Ao spoke, he swept his gaze over the generals below.
Xiao Baifa and Ying Buzheng also stood up and said, "Old Leng is right, military etiquette cannot be discarded. If the sons of our families dare to disrespect the commander, I will directly use family law to punish you."
Xiao Baifa, Leng Ao, and Ying Buzheng, these three hot-tempered old men, had also carried guns with Lin Tian back in the day, so they placed the most importance on military etiquette.
Lin Zhan looked at the elders' statements and then gratefully nodded at them.
It was also because Lin Zhan was too young. Some of these proud and fierce generals were somewhat dismissive of such a young general, especially those who had not worked with Lin Zhan.
Seeing the elders who supported him, Lin Zhan then looked at the Human Emperor ancestors.
Da Yu said with a playful smile, "What's up, kid? You didn't have enough just now, and you're planning to give us old coffins an order?"
Yu Longyan gave Da Yu a slap on the back of the head: "Can you be more serious? Zhan'er is so young and bears such pressure, is it easy for him? You, as an ancestor, are dragging him back. Don't say I'll beat you."
Shang Tang also rolled his eyes at Da Yu: "Old guy, although we are relatives, I have no problem beating you. Don't say that we juniors don't give you face."
Da Yu was stunned, and then angrily said, "You kid, don't be smug. It's just because my main body isn't here. When my main body returns, I'll see if I don't teach you a good lesson."
Shang Tang curled his lips and said, "Ancestor, don't brag. When have you ever beaten our ancestor? Who was beaten every time, wasn't it you?"
The people below looked at their usually majestic ancestors in confusion. Why... why were they all so lively today?
Only Lin Zhan knew that these old guys were like this by nature. They were just pretending when they were usually like that.
Yu Longyan felt the gazes from below and coughed, then said to everyone: "Cough, cough, with a great enemy before us, Da Yu and Shang Tang, two old ancestors, are afraid that everyone will be nervous and have specially come to liven up the atmosphere."
The generals below clearly showed expressions that said, "We may not have much education, but we are not stupid," and looked at Yu Longyan.
Yu Longyan gave Lin Zhan a meaningful glance.
Lin Zhan immediately understood Yu Longyan's meaning and quickly said, "Ancestor, there is one more very thorny matter that requires your and all the other ancestors' help."
"The lizardmen have dispatched a total of 12 foundational emperors, 23 ordinary emperors, and nearly a hundred kings this time. These powerful individuals pose too great a threat to our army, so we have to trouble the ancestors to resolve them." Su Dan Xiaoshuo Wang.
Yu Longyan saw Lin Zhan's actions and secretly nodded: This kid is really sensible. It wasn't in vain that we got along.
Then he said pretentiously, "Zhan'er, don't worry. You just focus on fighting. Even if these mere pawns were twice as many, the ancestors could handle them all for you, so that not a single hair of our brave soldiers will be harmed."
The Tie family brothers on the side exchanged glances and transmitted their voices: "Fourth Brother, Yu Longyan, this old scoundrel is pretending again."
Tie Lao Si nodded and said, "Later, at the Ancestral Court, we'll go and complain to Aunt Mei'er. We'll say that Yu Longyan, this old scoundrel, is going to the Immortal Clan to marry a second wife."
The other bears agreed and said, "That's right. Aunt Mei'er is already at the Emperor's strength. If she doesn't beat this old scoundrel out of his wits, then it'll be considered that he didn't poop cleanly."
