Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1748: Chapter 992: Terror Demon Brass Bull and the Great Unclean One

The human tactics are actually not complicated.

Nor can they be very complex.

In the process of combating the Chaos Demon Army, killing the enemy leader is a very effective tactic to gain a significant advantage.

The human armies are much better in this regard, with a higher degree of organization, usually relying on the entire system rather than individual officers/leaders.

If the main general is sacrificed, there are deputies, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, and a series of successors that can fill in. Even if all are dead, replacements can be found from lower-ranking officers.

The human army has such a complete system of ranks and duties to solve this problem.

The Chaos army also has similar structures, but they are not as systematic as the human side.

The fundamental reason is that the organizational system of the Chaos army is inherently less orderly. More often than not, it relies on the personal strength and prestige of the leaders and chiefs to organize the army.

Leaders form an army; a larger leader leads the army and has his own direct troops; multiple big leaders follow the one with the highest prestige...

No matter what Chaos force it is, there is a similar trend.

The nature of Chaos is like this. They need a strong individual to represent high prestige, using fear and authority to suppress and oppress their subordinates. Otherwise, they naturally tend to become scattered like loose sand.

Even the Jian Qi faction, which is the most particular about organizational structure, is the same. After Galaraldo, the leader, died, Jian Qi was out of the picture. Although there were still many Jianqi Cult members in the orbital systems of Terra and among the sailors of the Solar Fleet, they could no longer be united into a smoothly functioning force structure.

Specifically, in this Nagor Demon Army, there is a similar situation.

Their leader is the Empire’s former Prime Minister, now confirmed ascended Demon Prince—Zebert.

Unlike Jian Qi’s Galaraldo.

Galaraldo’s means of protection was hiding himself so that no one could find him. If it weren’t for Gu Jing tracing the clues and directly capturing his position, the allied intelligence wouldn’t have known that the leader of the Jianqi Cult was Galaraldo, nor his specific location. Achieving this success has an element of luck.

However, Zebert is different.

That guy has no intention of hiding himself at all.

When the siege of Terra began, Zebert had already appeared. Still using the title of the Imperial Prime Minister, he proclaimed himself legitimate and commanded the Nagor army in military operations.

So why not carry out a decapitation strike against him?

Because it cannot be implemented.

Zebert, of course, also has means of self-protection.

His throne has always been located in the core of the Nagor army. Around him, there is always an army protecting him. He never recklessly advances and always stays within the protection of the army. The massive and elite army around him is never easily used; any attempt to lure him away is ineffective.

The remaining options are few.

A direct confrontation, defeating the Nagor Demon Army, and overthrowing Zebert’s decayed throne is the only option.

This current action is precisely for this purpose.

Robert led the Imperial Guards and the main force of the allied army, striking out from the Imperial Palace towards the Corruption Cauldron in a frontal assault; Martins’ elite alliance, after deploying an advance team, rapidly advanced and attacked from the flanking side as the frontal assault began.

Nothing special, essentially a force-against-force approach, without any flamboyance.

So far, the progress is rather smooth.

On Martins’ side, indeed, from the enemy’s flank, although there are many enemies in terms of numbers, compared to the frontal battlefield, they are few and less elite, unable to withstand the assault of five thousand of the finest Interstellar Warriors.

Besides them, the Holy Compassionate Lily Battle Nuns, Glory Guard Corps, and Alliance National Knights, already prepared for combat on the orbital carriers, have all deployed.

With the ground cover of the Interstellar Warriors, they marched out from the landing ships, valiant and high-spirited.

As Martins and others advanced, various units joining midway quickly brought their total number to over a hundred thousand.

The Battle Nuns and Glory Guard Corps warriors, as the main infantry units, were responsible for occupying and clearing the positions; the National Knights’ Regiment, with over a thousand Titans, including eighty-nine at Warlord Level, undoubtedly presented a super-strong armored force.

Under fierce advancement, they swept everything before them like a thunderbolt.

On the other side, the frontal battlefield was also doing quite well.

Although the number of Titans was not as many, unlike Martins’ force, fewer in numbers but all elite, with excellent strike effectiveness.

Yet, there was also a top-notch assault spearhead over there—the Ten Thousand Man Team of the Imperial Guards!

The Imperial Guards had not all been deployed, still holding a significant number in reserve, as a backup, within the inner circle of the Imperial Palace. However, even with just five thousand deployed, they were a decisive force.

Especially since they brought out many of their trump cards.

From secret chambers beneath the palace, they retrieved numerous items that would usually never be brought out. These secret weapons, some of which are millennium-old secrets, inherited from the era when the Emperor was still present, and even dating back to earlier times, before human decline, in the Golden Age.
