Chapter 2905: Chapter 2925: Is There a Problem with Our Immediate Superior?

"Do any of you recognize those people?"

On the way back to the reception station, Lin Chen inquired about the origins of those people they had encountered earlier.

Xiong Yaxiong and the others, fully aware that there was a prohibition against fighting within the city at the War God Mansion, still hesitated not a bit in accepting Lin Chen’s order and taking strong action. Lin Chen was very satisfied with this.

Soldiers should obey military orders; if they hesitate, look forward and back, and are indecisive on the battlefield, then the troop has no combat power.

Xiong Yaxiong and the other two exchanged looks, then all shook their heads in the end.

Xiong Yaxiong sighed, "There are too many powerful forces and strong individuals from the Immortal Realm gathered here at the War God Mansion. We from the Haoran Sect, being situated in a remote area, seldom visit the War God Mansion and don’t know many people here."

Chi Ya whispered, "Sect Master, although we don’t recognize them, they must be influential figures. They certainly know many people. Should I go inquire about it?"

Seeing Lin Chen slightly hesitate, Chi Ya added, "Don’t worry, inquiring about a few people is a small matter. I don’t even need to show up in person, just give some Spirit Stones, and it can be settled without causing any trouble."

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, then inquire about it. We need to know, after all, who we have offended."

Xiong Yaxiong and the others twitched their mouths slightly. You’ve already offended them, and now you think of inquiring about their identities?

Sect Master, you are truly bold!

When Lin Chen and the others returned to the reception station, it wasn’t long before Chi Ya came back with a somewhat solemn expression.

"The leader’s name is Chen Quan, the grandson of Chen Qinghe, the Army Commander of the Second Corps. The other one is Li Ke, the grandson of the Deputy Army Commander of the Second Corps, and the other two are also from the senior management of the Second Corps."

Lin Chen nodded, his expression calm as he asked, "Which corps does our Haoran Sect belong to?"

"The First Corps."

Chi Ya replied, "The First Corps has the highest combat power among all the corps and often carries out the most difficult missions. The enemies we face are also the strongest."

Lin Chen asked, "What is the organization of our First Corps like?"

Xiong Yaxiong explained, "The organization of a corps consists of 100,000 people. It is divided into ten battle teams, each comprising 10,000 people. Each battle team is further divided into ten battle squads. Our Haoran Sect is one such battle squad. Once a battle starts, apart from a few people staying behind to guard the Haoran Sect, the rest form a thousand-person battle squad, following the commands of the battle team leader."

Lin Chen clicked his tongue internally: "Ten corps, doesn’t that amount to over a million people?"

This isn’t just over a million Ordinary People, but over a million immortals!

Chi Ya shook her head, "Not exactly. Each of the corps has different compositions and duties. The First to Fifth Corps are combat corps, intended for charging into battles and facing the enemy head-on, while the Sixth to Tenth Corps each have specific responsibilities, such as the Sixth Corps comprised of Array Masters, and the Seventh Corps of Artifact Refiners, etc. When a battle begins, each has different roles."

"Relatively speaking, the first five corps are for charging into battle, and the latter five are more focused on defense. Of course, during a war, all the corps will surely cooperate and support each other."

Lin Chen nodded, showing understanding.

Minor conflicts might just involve immortals from both sides charging forward and recklessly clashing, but major wars like those between the Immortal and Demon Realms involve far too many factors of combat power.

Not to mention immortals, even a Quasi-Saint, in such a battlefield, would appear quite insignificant, easily suffering major injuries and might even fall entirely.

"Who is the Army Commander of our First Corps, and what kind of person is he?"

Chi Ya answered, "The Army Commander of the First Corps is Jiang Yunfeng, nicknamed ’Mad Scholar’ because he is usually as gentle as a scholar and a refined gentleman, but on the battlefield, he always likes to lead the charge, fierce as if he is mad. He once stormed into a Demon Race camp alone and came back covered in blood, with countless major and minor injuries..."

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, "Team leader Jiang must be very strong, right?"

Chi Ya responded with pride, "Of course, there are many Quasi-Saints throughout the Crimson Immortal Domain, but Team leader Jiang’s strength is definitely among the top ten."

Lin Chen laughed, "Impressive! No wonder he can serve as the Army Commander of the First Corps."

Hu Yunlai sincerely said, "Team leader Jiang is actually quite young and his experience isn’t that extensive, but he carved out his position through sheer strength and leadership..."

Lin Chen laughed, "That’s a relief then. We’ve only provoked some young masters from the Second Corps, and we belong to the First Corps. At least we haven’t offended the family of our own superior, otherwise, wouldn’t we be doomed?"

Chi Ya didn’t smile, however, her expression still tinged with worry.

Lin Chen frowned, "What’s the matter? That expression..."

Chi Ya gave a bitter smile, "Our Army Commander is upright and strict with enforcement, but he manages ten battle team leaders, and we hardly ever interact with him directly; we are under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Team Captain, Kong Wenlin..."

Lin Chen asked, "Is there a problem with this Ninth Team Captain, Kong Wenlin?"
