Chapter 403 Tactics are Important

By the way, the current army is divided into four divisions. Each division was led by one god tamer, and I'm part of Goddess Blanc's division, with the rest of it filled with 8th-stage tamers and monsters.

Anyway, each division was further divided into four brigades, which were then further divided into 8 battalions each. With this configuration, we can command the army more efficiently since the groups are already predetermined.

As we marched onward, we were following a long column formation, making sure that we were not overlooking anything. The column was one brigade thick, with a total of 128 brigades lined up across.

"Move fast, come on! We'll be left behind if we're slow!"

As everyone moved forward, Blanc's brigade members were setting up Demon-weakening arrays every 500 meters. This is done since we would want to have a relatively safer retreat and also to mark the land that we would be claiming later.

The march proceeded onward without much trouble for about 10 kilometers. There, when we finally reached the vicinity of the Old Capital, we finally had our first encounter.

"God-level Demon ahead! Number... it's alone!"

The scouts, led by God Ajax, quickly reported back.

As soon as the news reached us, we quickly straightened up. I took a deep breath and shouted my command, which was being sent to the entire army with Goddess Blanc's help.

"Everyone, listen up! There's a high chance that this one's just bait, so be watchful of your blindspots!"

I pointed forward, at God Zeshion's division, and commanded.

"Zeshion Division, you lead the charge! Ajax and Vermeil Divisions would flank it, while Blanc Division would stay at the back and watch over the situation! Let's go!"

The entire army moved as a single unit, following my commands. Zeshion quickly engaged the large undead-dragon-shaped demon. He moved as if he didn't fear it at all and even dragged the other god-level monsters behind him along with his charge. The rest of the division could only rush forward, trying to catch up.

"Take this!"

Without delay, everyone moved back 500 paces as instructed. With everyone's speed, such a distance can be covered in seconds.

As soon as the retreat was complete, I shouted another command.

"Crane Wing Formation!"

As previously discussed, the army moved from a flanking formation to a more spread-out one. It was like a large, spread, U-shape formation, creating a "bowl" that the enemy would move toward. Once there, they would become the perfect target from all directions, rendering them unable to defend against the attacks.

In the middle of the formation was Zeshion's and Blanc's battalion as one, with Ajax taking the left and Vermeil to the right. The most power was concentrated at the tips and the vertex of the parabolic-shaped formation!

"Enemy in sight!"

When another report came in, everyone turned to look at the sky. There, more of the undead-dragon god-level demons were flying toward us. They were in a delta formation, with the biggest one among them leading the charge.

"Ready to fire!"

Of course, we aren't really required to wait for the enemy to come close before attacking. With my command, all the tamers quickly prepared to use their guns, the assault rifles, and held them in a firm grip.

"Take aim..."

I waited until the demons were in range of the guns before waving my hand down with a hearty shout.

"FIRE!"

*RATTATATATAT!*

The guns were all set in full auto, and the bullets flew into the sky, covering it completely with glowing dots. The biggest of the undead dragons managed to create a protective barrier in time, blocking the attacks heading for it, but the rest weren't as lucky.

They got hit by the bullets, their bodies ravaged by the Cursed Ore casing and the explosion of the energies packed within the bullets. Among the 30 or so god-level demons, only about 10 of them managed to stay afloat!

"Cease fire! Change armaments to melee!"

At that point, it was already too close for another shower of bullets, so I made everyone prepare for battle. This time, we're fighting multiple demons at once!
