Chapter 735 Review
On the western border of the Seth Empire, in the western suburbs of Kusis Territory, the first, second, and third legions are stationed.
Surrounded by a group of senior officers, Satim slowly walked to the vanguard camp. There were only four days left before the expedition. In order to ensure that there would be no problems and to boost morale, Satim decided to personally inspect the entire army.
As the initiator of the Beast Forest Invasion War, Satim attached great importance to every detail of this war, which would become a highlight in his resume, and he would also become the most accomplished crown prince in the history of the Omo Empire.
The Seth Empire is different from other empires in that it implements a crown prince assessment system. During the assessment period, the emperor will re-evaluate the crown prince every year based on the growth and achievements of each prince, which has led to fierce competition among the princes.
The prince's achievements came from many sources, including the governance of territory, academic research, military exploits, etc., while Satim specialized in military affairs, and he was supported by some warlike nobles.
Although Satim had become the crown prince ten years ago, he might not necessarily be the future Emperor Seth. As long as Emperor Otu had not abdicated and as long as other princes were ambitious, the position of crown prince might slip away from Satim at any time.
However, if this battle is successful, Satim's reputation will reach an unprecedented height in the army, the nobility, and even the entire Seth Empire. His father, Emperor Otu, will definitely cancel the crown prince's probation period and make the other princes completely give up.
The Vanguard Barracks was the last stop of Satim's inspection. The soldiers here were all lowly death row prisoners and exiles, and were cannon fodder on the battlefield. Originally, Satim did not want to come here.
But to be on the safe side, he still came, so that there would be no accidents in this war.
Standing next to Satim was a woman wearing a black tight leather jacket, sunglasses and a mask. Although her face could not be seen at all, her hot body was enough to ignite the desire in every man's heart.
However, most of the officers were restraining their gazes, and they looked at the woman with respect. The reason was simple. The rank on the woman's epaulettes was frighteningly high, almost the level of a strategic corps commander. Even Satim had to be polite to her.
"Jace," Satim suddenly said as they reached the entrance of the Vanguard Army's camp, "The Burial Potion and the Abyss Potion have been targeted by someone. They have been lost for various reasons recently. I think it was the work of those rats from Campbell's Secret Guards..."
The woman in black leather was Jace, and his body was that of the charming Viscount Kusis. Satim didn't know why Jace possessed his woman, and he always felt disgusted in his heart.
Satim had already made up his mind to kill Viscount Kusis immediately after Jace left, and the other guard who was possessed by Jace had also been killed. Satim could not tolerate that the people around him had become puppets of the black magician.
"Don't worry, Satim. Your worries are unnecessary." Jace shook his head and chuckled. He looked at the tens of thousands of people waiting for review at the Vanguard Army training ground, and said intriguingly, "The potion I developed is only for me to use. In the hands of the Campbell family, it is as common as boiled water."
Satim frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "This is the best. The Campbell family's magic technology leads the continent. I'm just worried that they will find a countermeasure to the potion as soon as possible..."
"Wait, dear Crown Prince, I must correct the mistakes in your words."
Jace suddenly stopped and whispered in Satim's ear, "The Campbell family has never truly led the continent. Their magic technology, no, to be more precise, Xiao Baihao's magic technology has always been low-level."
"He naively thought that he was standing on the shoulders of giants, but in fact he was just an ant under the feet of giants. From his height and vision, he could never see the real cutting-edge of academics."
Jace's tone was flat when he said this. There was no sarcastic sarcasm or excited criticism, only the leisurely and contented tone of stating a fact.
But Jace still admired Bai Hao very much. At least he was a smart ant. As for Satim or others, Jace simply disdained them because they were not even as good as ants. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were just a speck of dust.
Satim didn't pay attention to what Jace said, but just asked: "The vanguard troops are cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at will. If we consider maximizing benefits, I think they should each hold a bottle of Abyss Potion and launch a suicidal attack on the Beast Forest."
From the beginning to the end, Satim never regarded the vanguard troops as real soldiers, not even the officers inside. In his opinion, these were all garbage of the empire, and it would be best to recycle them. It was very worthwhile to sacrifice them in exchange for some strategic advantages.
Jace has the right to mix all the burial potions and abyss potions. Satim has witnessed the power of these evil potions, so he hopes that these tens of thousands of vanguard soldiers can drink the abyss potion, transform into battlefield Shuras, and crush the defenses of the Beast Forest.
"Haha, is one bottle enough?" Jace's tone was charming, as if he was a gigolo trying to please a customer.
Satim opened his eyes wide upon hearing this. He didn't care about Jace's disgusting tone, but said expectantly, "No, of course the more the better. You don't need to consider the casualties of the vanguard soldiers. They are all disposable. As long as they can shine and heat to the maximum extent, that's all!"
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. As for the officers of the vanguard army..."
Including Garen, the officers of the Vanguard Army are all strong and are basically high-level mages. The higher the rank, the stronger the effect of the potion, and the more terrifying the improvement in strength after taking it.
One officer is better than dozens of ordinary soldiers, and this is what Jace wants to test most. This Beast Forest invasion war is just a large-scale experiment to collect data.
"Of course, please feel free to do so. Most of the officers in the Vanguard Army have committed crimes, and being able to gain benefits for the empire on the battlefield can be considered as their atonement."
At the training ground of the Vanguard Army, Garen and a group of officers were on high alert. They had been rehearsing for three whole days for today's review, and all the soldiers of the Vanguard Army were complaining about it.
No one expected that the Crown Prince of the Seth Empire and a group of senior military officers would come to review the vanguard army.
What no one could have imagined was that in a few words between Satim and Jace, all the members of the Vanguard Army had become abandoned, including the officers including Garen, they all became the first abandoned persons to be sacrificed on the battlefield.
