Chapter 3003

Carson Flores was unaware of the discussions at the higher level, but soon, the Ninth Battalion received orders from the Army Command Center.

"All teams expand their personnel by half and receive triple the resources."

As soon as Theron Coffey finished announcing this, all the small team leaders were in shock.

Valdrin Gross looked surprised: "Increasing personnel by half and receiving triple the resources, what’s the plan here?"

Theron Coffey replied, "The military orders don’t specify, but I reckon if we’re just engaging in a war of attrition with the Demon Race here, there’s no need to receive twice the resources or add more personnel, as we can rotate and replenish."

"Doing this now surely suggests we’re anticipating significant troop losses and a longer duration of combat. Thinking about it, there’s only one possible answer..."

Dorian Roth’s eyes lit up and he blurted out, "Invade the Demon Realm?"

Theron Coffey nodded, "The Immortal Demon Passage won’t be closing anymore, and dragging this out for so long isn’t viable. I suspect the higher-ups plan to shift strategy from defense to offense."

"Since we must determine victory, defense surely won’t lead to success. Thus, we’re now preparing to invade the Demon Realm. This war is destined to be more brutal than before, with significantly more casualties, hence the need to supplement substantial personnel in advance."

"We’ve never entered the Demon Realm, and we’re uncertain about the situation there, so preparing more resources is to ensure sustained combat upon entering, especially since whether supplies can be smoothly delivered afterwards is unknown."

Theron Coffey paused, casting a glance over the team leaders, his voice lowering two tones: "Reinforcements from the Eight Great Immortal Domains have arrived, and besides expanding our ten legions, the reserve is no longer waiting but fully preparing to integrate into the army and join the battle..."

Theron Coffey’s gaze grew solemn: "This is the Immortal Realm’s full-force punch; let’s see if the Demon Realm can withstand it!"

Everyone’s expressions turned grave; the brutality of this battle will surpass all previous ones.

The prior war of attrition was extremely dangerous as well, but at least everyone had the Legion as a defensive line, providing a fallback option. Even with a high casualty rate, it didn’t lead to complete devastation or crippling.

However, once this battle starts, a small team in the battlefield is like a small stone thrown into a pond, unable to cause much splash. If slightly careless, not just a small team, but even a battalion being entirely wiped out is considered normal.

Theron Coffey looked at everyone, no longer wasting words: "We’ll discuss other matters later; now, quickly go recruit!"

Everyone hesitated no longer and began to act swiftly.

Everyone understands well that since all major legions need to supplement personnel, and the reserve must be organized into the army, those top-tier experts in the reserves have become highly sought after, requiring swift efforts to recruit!

Who doesn’t want more experts in their team?

Theron Coffey stopped Carson Flores: "Carson, I’ve already assigned someone to handle the supplementation for Team Three, so you don’t need to go personally."

Carson Flores nodded, but his expression was not happy, only solemn.

Theron Coffey walked over to Carson Flores, patting his shoulder: "Do you feel this battle is too dangerous, that placing them by your side might be even more risky?"

Carson Flores honestly nodded: "If it were just the previous frontline charge defense and attrition, I would still have confidence in taking care of everyone. But invading the Demon Realm, the intensity of this battle will greatly increase, with too many variables..."

Theron Coffey nodded, his tone grave: "Even the reserves are organized into the army; I believe no one can avoid this battle. Even if remaining in the newly formed army, it doesn’t mean they face less danger than us."

Carson Flores naturally understood Theron Coffey’s point; new troops without combat experience typically have high casualty rates when entering the battlefield.

Carson Flores thought for a moment: "I’ll go with them once. Those willing to come will join us, those unwilling can stay behind."

Theron Coffey looked at Carson Flores, slightly surprised: "Are you always so loyal and righteous, leaving others the choice while bearing difficulties yourself?"

Carson Flores smiled: "If I want to do it, I’ll do it; it only concerns my inner feelings, not others’ perceptions."

Theron Coffey looked somewhat nostalgic, patting Carson Flores’ shoulder: "Alright, let’s go. I’ll also take a look so these kids don’t get bullied."

The camp where the reserves are stationed has already been crowded by people from various factions, like a marketplace.

Everyone is striving to recruit powerful reserve soldiers for their respective teams, arguing heatedly, even preparing to brawl with rolled-up sleeves.

Observing this scene, Theron Coffey sighed: "Luckily, I arranged early to reserve personnel according to your list; otherwise, under current circumstances, we might not be able to recruit anyone."

After pausing, Theron Coffey seemed to recall something, adding: "We’re not cutting in line; we’re merely collecting personnel that were reserved earlier. We can’t let anyone snatch them from us..."
