The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1059

The Legendary Man Chapter 1059-Following Hayes’ command, the entire Eclipse Army proceeded to make rapid adjustments, and its strategy department continuously gathered information on the locations of a series of targets from the Intelligence Bureau.

As a missile unit capable of carrying out strikes with utmost precision and accuracy, they had never received such an easy mission.

During the confrontation between Hayes and Avery, the skies above Remdik’s army and Eastern Army were strangely quiet. Instead, it was the already dangerous area spanning fifty kilometers that became a veritable hell on earth.

Data on the battle was transmitted back to the Remdikian army’s combat command headquarters in real time.

They had completed their first wave of carpet bombing. According to their plan, the werewolves should have followed the trail of destruction and advanced toward Eastern Allied Army.

However, they saw that Eastern Army had started bombarding their own landmines as though in a frenzy. On top of that, Hayes had also marked out Wolver Army’s predicted location based on information he had gathered previously, and it was now Eclipse Army’s primary point of attack.

This time, Remdik had mobilized close to four hundred werewolves. Although that was a large number, the distance of the buffer zone between the two opposing military forces was at least a hundred and fifty miles. Hence, releasing four hundred people into such a large expanse was akin to dropping a grain of sand into the ocean, and therein lay the problem.

If they were to split up Wolver Army and allow them to roam freely, it would mean missing an opportunity to attack. However, the werewolves could move about in smaller groups, thus making it harder for Eastern Army to plan their defense.

In the end, even a meticulous commander like Avery could not escape the Remdikian military’s habit of employing flexible battle tactics.

Instead of instructing the werewolves to try and dodge the bombardment, he had them wait at River Onxy’s northern bank until the missile attacks ceased before launching a large-scale invasion.

Unfortunately, one point of consideration slipped his mind, which was that Eastern Army’s missile unit was not only capable of defense.

Since the purpose of Remdik’s carpet bombing strategy was to ensure Wolver Army could pass through safely, naturally, that meant the werewolves had to be on the edge of the line of fire. In doing so, they had clearly given away Wolver Army’s location to Hayes and the others.

In fact, it did not even matter if Hayes and the others were unsure of Wolver Army’s exact location. Since they had enough ammunition, they could take a leaf out of the Remdikian military’s book and blow up the entire stretch from the Onxy’s northern bank of River Onxy to where Remdik’s army was stationed.

Hence, things appeared bleak for Wolver Army.

To the average human or even ordinary cultivators, the werewolves were practically invincible. However, up against the terrifying destructive power of short-range missiles, the werewolves’ spirit shields and so-called mighty physique were as fragile as glass.

By the time Remdik’s radar system detected the missiles’ real targets, it was too late for the werewolves to run.

If it were only one missile, they could have dodged it if they moved quickly enough. However, what were they supposed to do when everywhere within a radius of several dozen miles was being bombed?

None of their cultivation levels mattered at such a time as the dense shower of bombs that fell easily ripped apart everything on the ground.

After that first round of bombing, Remdik’s headquarters received the first batch of reports on their casualties—ninety-eight confirmed werewolf deaths while another thirty were missing or incapacitated.

Just like that, the nearly four-hundred-strong troop lost over a hundred and forty of its warriors before it had even stepped foot into Chanaea.

The fact that they were all Grandmaster Realm cultivators made such a loss incredibly devastating, to say the least.

Aidan gave a cold snort and asked Avery, “So, this is what you intended with that strategy of yours?”

Avery did not appear the least bit flustered. “What’s that? Are you saying the Chanaeans wouldn’t have dropped a barrage of missiles if we stuck to your aggressive method of attack?”
