Chapter 469 - 463: Conflict of Military Intelligence
As the eighty-thousand-strong Eastern Expedition Army gathered around Great Wilderness Pass, setting up a sky-full of military tents, the once quiet pass became bustling with life overnight.
However, along with it, the dark clouds of war brought by the massing army also enveloped the entire Great Wilderness Plain, causing tension within the Beichang Military Town of the Sword Origin Empire, a hundred miles away.
The Beichang Military Town on the opposite side was also amassing a large army.
In an era with Talisman Communication, the movements of several hundred thousand troops could not simply be hidden.
Practically as soon as the several hundred thousand strong forces set out for Great Wilderness Pass from various locations, the Sword Origin Empire simultaneously made its own moves; hence Beichang Military Town was also crowded with troops.
At this moment, the Eastern Expedition Army massed at Great Wilderness Pass was undergoing their final integration and training!
The Eastern Expedition Army, pulled together from various locations, was rearranged to meet the needs of the different corps. Both marshal and general had to integrate their forces.
Fortunately, in this world, there was something known as a storage ring. The Military Faction of the Black Water Kingdom had accumulated thousands of them over the centuries, most of which were mid-grade storage rings. This made the logistical transportation of military supplies remarkably easy.
Otherwise, the consumption of eighty thousand troops and their horses would collapse an empire under the burden of long-distance transportation by manpower.
The troops were undergoing their final integration and training, while the staff department of the Eastern Expedition Army gathered the military leaders of all three armies for strategic discussions.
