The limit of power in the world of Aries is 99 C. This means that their power output when fighting anyone or doing anything must be limited to 99,000,000 F, 990,000 E, 9,900 D, or 99 C.
In comparison, the power of a peak stage golden core cultivator with 110 level of mind, 110 level in internal energy quality, and a perfect core of 1,024 core power, will have a power output of 12,390,400 F or 12.39 C.
So they still have a leeway in how much power they can display. With 99C worth of power, they can defeat any kind of golden core being. But 99C power output is more than 20 times weaker than the power that they can produce with their true body at the peak of the fifth mortal coil.
But they don't plan to fight if they can avoid it. This is because if they fight and use power that is close to 99C, if the enemy they fight can also output power at 99C, the combined power of the two of them will be enough for them and their enemies to be expelled from Aries and cast into the void between worlds.
This is why they didn't bring their true bodies along. They didn't want to risk having their true bodies lost in the void between worlds with no way to return home. They only sent their avatars, as that's all they can afford to provide in case of emergencies.
Below the three patriarchs are the members of the Blood Skull sect who have now become soldiers in the first army of the Blood Skull army. All of them are dividing themselves into their units and squads.
The first army is made up of 10,000 troops at the third mortal coil and 21 troops at the fourth mortal coil. The 10,000 troops are designated as one-star officers, with the ones at the peak of the third mortal coil designated as two-star officers.
The one-star officers are divided into 100 squads with 100 one-star officers in each squad. Each of these squads is led by three two-star officers.
One two-star officer serves as the captain, while the other two serve as the assistant to the captain and will take over the duties of the captain in an emergency or in the absence of the captain.
Ten squads combine to form a division, and each division is led by two golden core cultivators. The two golden core cultivators are three-star officers with the title of commanders.
One of the commanders is the left commander, who is in charge of overseeing the overall situation of the squad and giving orders. The left commander is not supposed to engage in any fighting unless they have to.
The other commander is the right commander. The duty of the right commander is to fend off powerful enemies and protect the squad.
The right commanders are the ones who will be called for reinforcement and will engage enemies. It is not until the right commander becomes unavailable or indisposed that the left commander will engage the enemy.
Each division gets to control one floating fortress. According to the battle plan, mobile fortresses won't be deployed until later in the campaign.
Everyone quickly distributed themselves into their squads and entered their assigned floating fortresses. This occurred with little delay and hassle because everyone had already been assigned to a division and squad before they entered the mothership, and they knew where they were assigned.
Arthur was assigned as the right commander of the 6th Division. This means that he will have to fight. But since his division is not among the first ones, he won't see much fighting early into the campaign.
That's only the plan, of course. No one knows what the battlefield will be like, so anything can happen when they get to Aries.
Finally, there is one single four-star officer with the title of Special Force Officer. This title belongs to Void Claw. His duty is to move around the world to reinforce and assist any division that is in need of help.
Void Claw is not limited to one division. If the right commander is lost or preoccupied, the left commander of the division can request Void Claw's assistance. So left commanders will call for reinforcement before they need to fight themselves.
There is only one Void Claw, but they expect him to be available for everyone. This is because of his spatial talent. Thanks to his talent and a special aircraft, he is expected to be able to easily reinforce a lot of divisions.
So in summary, the first army is made up of 10 divisions, 10 mobile fortresses, 100 squads, and one special force officer. But this is just the first army. There are still the second and third armies.
The second army is made up of golems, while the third army is made up of humanoid plants. Arthur once saw a plant that looked like Purple Vine, the peak golden core cultivator of the Purple Flower sect, in the third army, but he thought nothing of it.
The second army is 100,000 troops in size. The same goes for the third army.
Most of the troops in these two armies are at the third mortal coil, but there are some of them at the fourth mortal coil. The number of those at the fourth mortal coil is 10 in each army.
The troops of the second and third armies didn't distribute themselves into floating fortresses. They all stayed together, packed into a neat formation.
Once everything was arranged, all that was left to do was to wait. They didn't have to wait for long.
The mothership sailed through the spatial passage that the gate had created from Ethera to Aries. This spatial passage led from the first layer of space through the third layer and out of Ethera. It didn't collapse immediately because the Ethera tree permitted it to exist.
