Doomsday Code

Chapter 980 Secretly assassinating Chen Cang

Seeing Chen Cheng standing there for a long time, Ye Rong also noticed that something had changed about Chen Cheng, but because of the passing of Kui Niu, he did not ask too many questions.

Now, seeing Chen Cheng looking at the mountain of bones, he came up to Chen Cheng and said:

"Has Your Majesty noticed something?"

Chen Cheng withdrew his divine gaze and then looked at Ye Rong, saying:

"So, General Ye Rong, you know something about this."

Hearing Chen Cheng say this, Ye Rong knew that Chen Cheng had figured it out, and then he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Cheng and said:

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. After the Great Wall was moved here, it became like water without a source. The strength of the Great Wall is diminishing with each use, and it simply could not have lasted this long."

By the time of the Fifth Emperor, the Great Wall's power had been severely depleted, and the filth it had suppressed had been exposed. At that time, the Prince of Pingbei discovered that the accumulated corpses outside the Great Wall were the rudiments of a demonic realm.

The Demon Realm is something I've only heard of in legends; there's no way to solve it.

Furthermore, it was during the Abyss eruption period, and the Great Wall was already showing signs of being breached.

In the end, it was the then-master of the demigod temple who, using the artifacts left behind by the first emperor, cleansed the corrupting demonic energy here and guided it into the Great Wall, where it became the source of the Great Wall's power.

Then Ye Rong sighed again and said:

"But this place is a place where demonic energy resides. In order to avoid causing panic, such news did not spread. I know this because when I went to the northern border to guard the frontier, I read ancient books and documents about the northern border in the demigod temple."

Although Ye Rong's information wasn't very useful, it did confirm to Chen Cheng that his plan to use the Great Wall to blockade the northern border was feasible.

If his ancestor could do it back then, he should be able to do it now that he has administrator privileges.

Moreover, after learning about the uses of the Great Wall, Chen Cheng could also learn to share some of his burdens with the Great Wall, turning them into a reserve of strength for the Great Wall.

"Let's go back. I believe it won't be long before the five great kingdoms make their move, and we should speed up our plans."

Turn inside the cylinder.

Upon returning to the Great Wall, what they saw was a bustling scene of orcs building their dwellings.

Almost all the orcs from beyond the Great Wall are here now; there are tens of millions of orcs here.

Upon seeing Chen Cheng and the others return, Bu Jiu and Yin Zhi immediately dropped what they were doing and came over.

However, upon hearing that Kui Niu had perished together with the source of the abyss, both of them showed varying degrees of sadness, especially Yin Zhi, who usually liked to argue with Kui Niu.

He lived up to his name, and usually seemed a bit sinister, so he had very few friends, and Kui Niu, this simpleton, was one of them.

After their initial grief, the two channeled their sorrow into motivation and poured their energy into their work.

Bu Jiu then explained to Chen Cheng the current situation of the orcs and the arrangements made for them.

After listening, Chen Cheng said:

"Don't worry about the details. First, establish the most basic rules for them, and then let Gust go back and take care of them."

Rest assured, he will fulfill the dreams of the bull he lived to see.

Then Chen Cheng continued:

"What are the five kingdoms up to now? We've taken down the leaders of two of them, don't they make any moves at all?"

This is what Chen Cheng is most worried about.

Yin Zhi then stepped forward and replied:

"Several groups of scouts were dispatched, but apart from some initial disturbances at the Sfield and Chamer camps, there was no further activity."

Because of the battle formation, our scouts cannot penetrate deep into the enemy camp, so we are still not entirely clear about what the enemy is planning.

However, in the past few days, the enemy's logistics and supplies have been frequently dispatched at several military camps, and we have ambushed and intercepted the logistics teams several times.

However, one thing was strange: whenever the supply convoy saw our people, regardless of their numbers, they would run away, leaving behind a pile of logistical supplies.

The minister checked all the supplies one by one and found nothing unusual.

Chen Cheng did not blame the cunning intelligence officer for gathering information to this extent, after all, the opposing side was not an ordinary kingdom army, but a real elite force.

To infiltrate and spy on such a legion, one would have to have already been turned against them; otherwise, it would be impossible to plant spies on the spot.

Yin Zhi had some of the captured supplies brought to him, and Chen Cheng used his divine eye to look around, but found nothing unusual.

Chen Cheng then frowned.

He didn't believe that the five kingdoms could possess any technology that could escape his divine sight, so these supplies were indeed without any problems.

Then Chen Cheng asked again:

"How much have you seized in these recent raids, and how much is still missing?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Zhi immediately reported a series of data, and judging from the data, the amount of spoils they had captured in the past few days was enough to sustain the previous million-strong Great Wall Army for more than half a year.

And this is only what was seized.

Because they were afraid the enemy would use supplies as bait, not many teams went out to capture them, and most of them were transported to the camps of the five countries.

These supplies, when calculated carefully, were enough to supply the consumption of the million-strong army at the Great Wall for several years.

Or perhaps it's the consumption of a five million-strong army over a month.

After mentally calculating the data, Chen Cheng looked at Yin Zhi and said:

"All you've found are supplies, no new troops to replenish and support you?"

Chen Cheng knew the number of troops stationed in the five kingdoms, so it was clear that transporting so much military supplies was a complete waste.

Unless they actually have a million troops in each battalion, doing so would be extremely foolish.

Because in this world, armies compete not only on the reserves of logistical supplies, but also on the eliteness and quantity of their troops.

Otherwise, even if you have stored up supplies for several years, they will be wasted if the camp is breached in one fell swoop.

Upon hearing Chen Cheng's question, Yin Zhi nodded firmly and said:

"I can confirm this: they absolutely did not mobilize a large army into the camp."

At this point, having nowhere to go, Noah, who was standing beside Chen Cheng, suddenly spoke up:

"Senior, do you know whether the logistics troops escorting their supplies are always the same group of people, and whether those logistics personnel who escaped returned by the same route or went to their main camp?"

Noah's words were like a wake-up call for Yin Zhi and his men. They had always felt that something was wrong, but after hearing Noah's question, they realized what was amiss.

Because of the existence of supernatural powers in this world, even the military is composed of supernatural forces, so the importance attached to logistics teams, which are basically composed of ordinary people, is not very high.

So even though I always felt something was off, I never thought of it.

Noah, on the other hand, was different. Although there were extraordinary beings in his small world, ordinary people still made up the majority.

Given the atmosphere there, when they fight the orcs in the jungle, the main force is often an army composed of ordinary people.
