Chapter 864: Chapter 864
She knew, but that did not mean that the new Holy Warriors and Followers of Tempus knew. It was good to show them the war potential of the Conqueror Army, especially the Sword Master, who was a rising star among the Followers of Tempus and deserved special attention.
Feelings were always mutual. Tempus’s evident favoritism and Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
Thus, even though Aidan, in terms of both strength and fame, was far inferior to her, Katherine, upon her arrival, nodded to him immediately, expressing her respect.
Aidan also responded with a warrior’s salute. As the Guardian of the Holy Land of Tempus and the holder of the Sacred Sword of Tempus, he had a deeper understanding of Tempus’s holy will. Therefore, when he heard that the Conqueror Army was bogged down in war here, he broke the usual rules of the Followers of Tempus and came forward to Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform. Now it seemed he had made the right choice.
In the opposing army, not only was there Lady Strategy’s exclusive Sacrificer, but even her Chosen had been mobilized. This indicated that Lady Strategy’s involvement in this matter was much deeper than he had anticipated. If he could help them accomplish this, he believed the God of War would surely be pleased and might even bestow divine grace.
As Aidan delved deeper into their unique camp, he felt increasingly that this army was extraordinary.
They had chosen a small hillside for their camp, holding the geographical advantage of the high ground. The entire army’s vehicles were fully deployed, forming an immense defensive camp.
The layout of these vehicles was very scholarly. The arrangement of tower war chariots and ordinary carts was not circular but jagged like a city wall. The tower war chariots were positioned on the protruding parts, resembling towering archer towers. If the enemy wanted to break into the camp, they had to face a dense barrage of arrows from the high-placed tower chariots. Each tower chariot could host a small group of archers without any issues, not to mention each of these vehicles were equipped with two Cart Crossbows from Ruitawen City.
This was just what outsiders could see. Inside the camp, it was organized like a labyrinth with tents and vehicles in layered defense. Even if someone breached the outer perimeter, they would fall into a war bog, making it very difficult to disrupt the entire army’s situation.
Along the way, they saw no fewer than five newly dug wells, guarded by several massive Treants. They protected the water resources and aided in drawing water, eliminating the danger of water cuts.
As for the military supplies stored here, although they only saw the tip of the iceberg, the quantity still impressed them. During their short visit, at least ten caravans left the camp, each possessing no fewer than ten heavy trucks. At the same time, an equivalent number of caravans would return. Whether departing or arriving, the trucks were all fully loaded with an array of goods, turning the place almost into a temporary mall.
As a devout follower of the God of War Tempas, Aidan knew well that a military camp was a vital part of an army. They spent much more time camped than marching. Many battles were not just encounters in open fields but sieges or camp raids.
Having an impregnable camp was, if not an unassailable position, at least a significant tilt in the scales of victory toward one’s side, especially during prolonged wars where the forces were evenly matched. Victory was likely to favor the side with a secure camp and sufficient supplies.
After touring the Conqueror Army’s camp, Aidan began to understand why his god so highly valued the cultivation of Lady Strategy. With such a deity-skilled individual managing the army, the God of War could launch attacks and destroy his enemies without any worries.
This was the result of his god’s far-reaching and strategic planning.
Realizing this, Aidan’s attitude toward Gaven and Katherine became friendlier, resembling a benevolent father, full of praises throughout the entire visit.
When he led everyone to the meeting tent and they had taken their seats, Gaven directly steered the topic back to the matter Katherine had raised, "I fully Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
