Chapter 356: [355] Commander Cheng's Meritorious Service

Qinghan Xuan Palace.

Jinshan Palace.

"...The Eastern Li war zone was attacked by a large group of sea monsters. Vice Commander Lan urgently contacted Commander Cheng, who, after understanding the frontline situation, provided an important suggestion.

"Vice Commander Lan ordered the aircraft carrier fleet to make a feint, and the enemy's 'Venomous Giant Squid' group followed suit and moved.

"This proves Commander Cheng's speculation that the Venomous Giant Squids' target of attack is not the three fortresses on the Lotus Islands, but the aircraft carrier fleet."

Palace Master Yunchangtian couldn't help but exclaim, "That was close!"

One can completely imagine that if Commander Cheng hadn't reminded them and the fleet had followed the command from the central courtyard, there would have been a high probability of total annihilation.

And this defeat would also bring great shame to Xuan Palace.

Clearly, under the guise of providing support to the frontline, the result was a major defeat. Was this reinforcement or intentionally offering up lives?

"Later, Vice Commander Lan personally contacted the main generals of the war zone and proposed a new battle plan, which the main generals agreed to and were willing to cooperate with.

"At the start of the battle, as expected by Commander Cheng, the Venomous Giant Squids sprayed a large amount of water mist, completely obscuring the front battlefield.

"The more than forty thousand war hawks that participated in the battle, along with the entire fleet, were all enveloped in the fog, unable to see clearly.

"Then, from the cloudy layer in the sky, more than one hundred and fifty thousand flying serpents rushed out and directly pounced on the flock of war hawks..."

The subordinate paused here to catch his breath.

Palace Master Yun couldn't help but urge, "Continue."

The subordinate didn't dare to slack off and continued, "At this crucial moment, the flock of war hawks simultaneously fired thousands of profound weapons towards the sky and the sea surface, followed by a collective change in direction.

"The central courtyard had already gathered all the wind-based profound formations in the war zone, quietly arranged them on the front battlefield, and then urgently activated the profound formations, instantly dispersing more than half of the fog barrier."

Palace Master Yun couldn't help but praise, "What a great strategy!"

With the experience of this Xuan Supervisor, he immediately judged that this was definitely a "luring the enemy into the trap" scheme.

The flying serpent group rushed out from the ambush of rain clouds, and while their descent speed was fast, their retreat speed would be much slower.

And the maneuverability of the war hawk squadron was significantly stronger than that of the flying serpents, able to launch a joint attack on the flying serpent group from both the left and right directions.

In other words, the enemy's flying serpent group had fallen into a trap.

The subsequent battle completely confirmed the Palace Master's speculation.

At Vice Commander Lan's command, the two war hawk squadrons once again changed direction and surrounded the flying serpent group.

Then, the war hawks launched six waves of profound weapons in succession, almost annihilating more than one hundred thousand flying serpents, causing a rain of flying serpents to fall on the surface of the inland sea."

Palace Master Yun couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "And then?"

He knew very well that the enemy had lost their most important air force, and there was no other type of troops that could counter the Warhawks.

On the other hand, the enemy's losses were so heavy that the remaining sea monsters must have panicked, and it was impossible for them to resist against our side.

In summary, at this stage, the Warhawk Legion had basically secured victory.

The difference lies in how much further achievements they can make.

"Deputy Commander Lan has issued another order, dividing the sea into several combat zones and allowing the Warhawk flock to conduct carpet bombing."

"The battle report from Shencheng said that within five minutes, they dropped sixty thousand Qinghan Xuan soldiers, and a large area of the sea was completely boiling from the explosions."

"According to rough estimates, at least one hundred and sixty thousand venomous giant squids were killed, and the other sea monsters numbered no less than two hundred and fifty thousand."

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Palace Lord was ecstatic and praised repeatedly, "Great! This battle was fought so beautifully!"

From the current situation, this was definitely another glorious victory.

The achievements gained by the Warhawk Legion were only slightly inferior to the major battle on the day they arrived.

These two major battles were the most powerful evidence, enough to prove that the Warhawks were a revolutionary weapon that could be put to great use.

The subordinates reported on the follow-up battles: "The sea monsters that were not killed either dived deeper into the sea or fled to the giant wave area in the open sea."

"The Sea Eagle troops launched a large-scale operation to hunt down the underwater sea monsters, while the aircraft carrier fleet dispatched small fleets and activated the 'Yulang Xuan Formation' to pursue the enemy in the open sea."

The so-called 'Yulang Xuan Formation' was used to calm the waves that impacted their side. It was a simple Xuan Formation that did not consume much Xuanjing.

"The Zhongting also sent the Xuanzhou troops to flank the sea monsters and successfully blocked a group of powerful sea monsters at the Xuan Shi level, as well as two sea monster leaders at the Xuan Shi level."

"The aircraft carrier fleet also dispatched a large number of Warhawks to provide support. The battle is still ongoing, and the final results have not been fully counted..."

The Cloud Palace Lord took over the conversation, "This is a clash of high-end forces, and it doesn't have much impact on the overall situation. The sea monsters are eager to retreat, so the battle won't last long."

He speculated, "The battlefield is a water world, and the sea monsters naturally have a geographical advantage. Even if Zhongting made preparations in advance, they can probably only block one sea monster leader at most."

The subordinate finally reported on the assessment of the results, "According to the battle report from Shencheng, they believe that Commander Cheng made the greatest contribution. He saw through the enemy's strategy and saved the entire situation with one move."

The Cloud Palace Lord nodded heavily, "Indeed! Without Commander Cheng, who knows how this battle would have turned out."

The subordinate continued, "Shencheng also believes that Deputy Commander Lan, leading the fleet, eliminated a large number of sea monsters, and his contribution can be ranked second."

The Cloud Palace Lord smiled, "That's only right."

Deputy Commander Lan was considered the direct line cultivated by the Xuan Supervisor, and he fought so beautifully in this battle, naturally bringing great honor to himself.

The Cloud Palace Lord instructed, "Immediately report the battle situation to Commander Cheng!"

The subordinate immediately responded, "Yes!"

Crimson Armor Hall.

Regarding the intense war in the Eastern Li War Zone, Cheng Han, with the help of the All-Knowing Eye, knew the outcome before Cloud Palace Master did.

He didn't find the result of this battle surprising at all.

He directly exposed the enemy's crucial trump card, equivalent to our side seeing the opponent's cards on the table. If Deputy Commander Lan can't come up with a battle strategy, it would be better for the Female Mysterious Master to just give up.

That being said.

Cheng Han was quite pleased.

With just a few words spoken from a distance, without exerting any effort, he easily claimed the first merit. Is there anything more satisfying than this?

Of course not!

And merit means—reward!

Soon.

This battle report spread throughout Xuan Palace like a hurricane.

Wherever Cheng Han went, he was met with gazes akin to "admiring the God of War."

Since the establishment of Qinghan Xuan Palace, for thousands of years, there has never been a Xuan Shi who has enjoyed such great popularity, completely overshadowing all the Xuan Masters in the entire palace.

Three days later.

"Splash!"

Accompanied by the sound of illusory waves.

The protective Xuan Formation of Xuan Palace rippled with faint ripples.

The range of the ripples quickly expanded. In just two breaths, it spread a hundred kilometers away, resembling an ocean in the void.

What's even more peculiar is that the shape of this large ripple actually resembles a war eagle.

This is undoubtedly a tribute to the war eagles.

It is also a celebration of the glorious victory of the War Eagle Legion.

Falcon Mountain.

Headquarters of the War Eagle Legion.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The two Grand Palace Masters, Cheng Han of Crimson Armor Hall and Xuan Shi Lingye of Tianjing Hall, each sat in the cockpit of a war eagle.

This seemed like a signal.

Five hundred soldiers, one after another, climbed onto their respective war eagles.

"Take off!"

A loud roar spread across the vast square.

"Buzz~"

The agile Xuan Formation was immediately activated.

Batch after batch of war eagles quickly launched into the air, forming neat formations as they flew towards the protective Xuan Formation.

According to the plan, this batch of war eagles will undertake a long-distance flight, following the "Qinghan Spirit Branch" all the way to the distant Tai'an Small Spirit Realm.

The so-called "Qinghan Spirit Branch" refers to this section of the Spirit Branch under the jurisdiction of Qinghan Xuan Palace.

The total mileage of this flight will exceed 9,600 kilometers, stopping at eight small spirit realms along the way to refuel the war eagles.

Fifteen minutes later.

The flock of war eagles flew out of the Xuan Palace and disappeared into the distance.

Two hours later.

Qinghan Spirit Branch.

Inside a sky-reaching road.

The so-called "sky-reaching road" is a super highway naturally formed within the Divine Banyan Spirit Branch, with a diameter of over two kilometers, piercing through the entire Spirit Branch.

This unique structure has made the sky-reaching road a "highway" for logistics transportation.

At every moment, there are countless cargo airships flowing through it, transporting various goods to various small spirit realms.

At this moment.

At a large airship station belonging to the Xuan Palace, named "Qinghan Station."

A young man wearing a wide-brimmed hat, covering most of his face, carried a leather suitcase and climbed up the stairs to berth number eleven.

A large airship, two hundred and fifty meters in length, was docked at the berth.

"Everyone, please show your airship tickets!"

A uniformed ticket inspector shouted loudly as he looked at the long queue.

The young man took out a hard card from his pocket and raised his head slightly to look at the airship.

In that instant.

His face was completely revealed.

It was Cheng Han.
