Start By Parsing The Sun

Chapter 353: [352] I am about to be promoted to the intermediate level of Xuan Shi.

Eastern Li War Zone.

Deputy Commander Lan Jiayao spoke incessantly for a while, giving a detailed introduction of the battlefield situation: "Commander Cheng, this is the situation."

Commander Cheng in the communication image seemed to be lost in thought.

The spacious command cabin fell into silence all of a sudden.

Including the female Xuan Shi, everyone was waiting for Commander Cheng's words.

Or rather, his command.

The brilliant battle that took place on the day of the descent, as well as the accurate judgment of the sea monsters just now, made Cheng Han's image in the hearts of the people more like a wise and martial commander.

Naturally, everyone preferred to follow his orders.

After a few seconds.

Cheng Han suddenly asked, "What does Zhongting think?"

Lan Jiayao replied fluently, "Zhongting believes that the enemy will first send a group of flying snakes to entangle the warhawks, and then rely on 'poisonous giant squids' to spray 'corrosive poison' towards the war zone."

Among the sea monsters in the Youmiao Realm, poisonous giant squids are a particularly troublesome species.

This thing is like a biological version of a cannon, and the venomous globules it sprays can fly more than thirty kilometers at the farthest, and it is not difficult to fly fifty kilometers with the help of the wind.

After hitting the target, the venomous globules will burst into poisonous mist that spreads through the air.

This thing has extremely strong corrosiveness. Just a slight contact with the skin will cause half of the body to rot, and even trees and rocks can be corroded.

When the Wan Hao people first entered the Youmiao Realm in large numbers, they suffered a great loss from the poisonous giant squids, and a large number of soldiers and civilians died as a result.

Among them, the most tragic incident was when a medium-sized fortress was enveloped in a large amount of poisonous mist, and more than three hundred thousand people inside the fortress were almost completely wiped out.

Lan Jiayao continued, "Based on experience, the enemy will definitely create strong winds on the sea surface, allowing the venom to travel even further.

"Zhongting has already arranged a group of Xuan Shi who practice wind-based Xuan Yin, as well as corresponding wind-based Xuan formations, to counter the sea monsters."

In the image.

"Meh!"

The sheep in the carriage called out again.

Cheng Han reached out and gently stroked the sheep's head, saying something inexplicable, "The role of sheepskin is not only to make sturdy sheepskin paper..."

With his words, something interesting happened.

The wool on the sheep's head and neck retracted into the pores like "reverse growth," and the sheep became bald, with the sheepskin on its neck completely exposed.

This appearance was a bit amusing.

"...it can also be used to make soft and lightweight sheepskin boots."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wool emerged from the pores again, growing longer and longer, and automatically forming some small braids, making it even more interesting.

The newly grown wool was significantly different from the previous wool.

The latter was just ordinary wool, while the former presented a magnificent rainbow color, indicating an extremely exquisite microstructure.

Lan Jiayao's eyes flickered, and she muttered to herself in her heart, "Impressive."

This move seemed simple, but it was actually a very unusual thing.

Anyone with a little understanding knows that the more subtle and complex the structure of the biological transformation, the greater the difficulty.

Creating a large number of scales on the skin is as difficult as drawing on paper, but making wool like this is comparable to writing a hundred thousand-word article on an embroidery needle.

Not to mention that the wool is so delicate, with at least twenty thousand strands, ten times more than scales.

In short, this represents a very powerful manipulation ability.

Definitely at the level of a Xuan Shi.

The female Xuan Shi's thoughts returned to the main topic, and she immediately asked, "Commander Cheng, are you suggesting that Zhongting's judgment may be wrong?"

She had already heard the implicit meaning behind the statement "sheepskin can be used to make sheepskin paper and sheepskin boots."

That is, the means of the poisonous giant squids may not be limited to just spraying poison.

Cheng Han nodded gently, "Yes! Falling into a fixed mindset often marks the beginning of defeat."

Lan Jiayao's face changed as she listened.

The word "defeat" clearly implied that following Zhongting's judgment would likely result in a terrible failure.

Only then did Cheng Han put forward his own opinion, "I am more inclined to believe that the enemy deployed the poisonous giant squids and flying snakes to deal with the warhawks."

The female Xuan Shi frowned slightly, "But the warhawks fly in the sky, and their speed is very fast. The attacks of the poisonous giant squids pose no threat to the warhawks."

Cheng Han shook his head and asked in return, "What if the real purpose of the poisonous giant squids is to create a thick fog and obscure the warhawks' vision?"

Lan Jiayao suddenly took a breath.

She instantly deduced the following scenario:

The warhawk group took off collectively from the aircraft carrier to intercept the flying snake group. At this moment, the poisonous giant squids sprayed water, creating a thick fog using the heavy rain.

(Translator's note: The translation provided is a direct translation and may not capture the full meaning or nuances of the original Chinese text.)

The Falcon pilots couldn't see the environment clearly and immediately became chaotic. The Flying Snake group took advantage of this and caused significant damage to the Falcons.

Unfortunately, just a few days ago, the Dongli Theater dispatched a part of the Xuanzhou to support the nearby Laiwu Theater.

And so...

At a critical moment, the remaining Xuanzhou group couldn't withstand the massive attack from the sea monsters.

The consequences of this battle are not hard to imagine.

This sea monster army destroyed the aircraft carrier fleet, began besieging Tianyelian, and took advantage of the heavy rain to swim to three lotus islands.

As time passed, the defensive Xuan formation of the war fortress was gradually depleted and eventually stopped functioning.

Finally...

A disastrous scene unfolded.

One or more war fortresses were breached by the sea monsters.

For the overall situation, the defeat of the Dongli Theater did not affect the big picture.

But for everyone present, after this battle, even those who were lucky enough to survive would be labeled with a shameful title.

On top of their heads, four characters of disgrace would be written - "Defeated General"!

At this moment...

Not only Lan Jiayao, but everyone else also understood the seriousness of the consequences.

In the footage...

"Baa!"

The sheep anxiously bleated.

They saw Cheng Han start a strange racing car and drive in circles around the communication Xuan formation. This was something the sheep had never experienced before, so naturally, it felt uneasy.

"Buzz~"

The sound of the engine kept coming.

Everyone witnessed this scene and fell silent collectively.

This was a matter of great importance concerning the future of the theater, as well as the fate of everyone involved. No one dared to be negligent, but Commander Cheng seemed to be happily playing with his new car.

Could you please be more serious?!

Lan Jiayao's icy expression in front of her subordinates almost couldn't hold up.

The female Xuan master took a deep breath and stabilized her mood before saying, "Commander Cheng, this matter is of great importance. The Falcon Corps must report to the Central Court, but..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood.

While Cheng Han drove the racing car in circles, he replied, "The Falcon Corps has been a bit unruly, and many people in the Central Court have always had complaints about us.

"If we want the Central Court to accept this, we must provide strong evidence."

Speaking of this...

"Sizzle!"

A sharp friction sound suddenly rang out.

The racing car made an abrupt stop.

"Baa! Baa!"

The sheep almost flew out and panicked, bleating non-stop.

Cheng Han muttered, "The brakes are too loud," and then said, "Let's find a way to prove it to the Central Court."

Lan Jiayao had a sudden realization and blurted out, "I understand!"

She spoke rapidly, "As long as the aircraft carrier fleet performs a feint maneuver, and the main target of the venomous giant squid is us, they will definitely change their position accordingly."

Cheng Han smiled, "Exactly! That's it!"

The surrounding people were all in awe.

Playing with a new vehicle like this, driving in circles with a sheep, and casually solving a major issue with a few words.

Truly worthy of Commander Cheng!

Cheng Han continued, "By the way, I sense an opportunity. I'm about to be promoted to the Intermediate Stage Xuan Master. From now on, you will be in command of the upcoming battles."

Lan Jiayao exclaimed, "So soon?! But..."

Cheng Han didn't give her a chance to finish and waved his hand, "I believe you have the ability to defeat the sea monsters. That's it!"

After saying that...

He immediately cut off the communication.

Although Vice Commander Lan was not a particularly outstanding commander, she still possessed a certain tactical ability. Coupled with her diligent study of Falcon operations, she was capable of commanding this battle.

A qualified leader should give subordinates opportunities to grow at the right time.

If one tries to control everything, subordinates will only become yes-men. In a critical moment in the future, this flaw will become a fatal weakness.
