On March 1, 1793, the Jin Yuan Republic mobilized an army of 400,000 into four legions, advancing south from four routes. Leading the vanguard, the commander of the Third Legion was the country's celebrated general, General Deschamps, who had held the rank of Army General since the days of the Old Empire.
It was not surprising that General Deschamps, a leading figure in Jin Yuan, was entrusted with being the sharpest blade of the great sword composed of 400,000 men.
What surprised people was that Marco was willing to employ Deschamps, who was on the verge of retirement and politically neutral, not aligning with any faction.
The fact that Marco, who always valued political stance, exceptionally employed Deschamps, showed the importance he placed on this battle.
In times without large-scale wars, only abnormal countries like Nubia still retained the marshal's title; most mainstream countries' highest military rank was General.
