Chapter 463: [462] New Enemy, the Black Scale Tribe; Female Mysterious Master is Cheng Han's Diehard Fan

Lingyan Lotus Island.

Yanshan War Fortress.

This newly built fortress is the headquarters of the Red Eagle Legion.

Unlike the lively banquet hall, the atmosphere in the top-level command hall of the fortress is quite serious.

Above a mysterious formation, a pair of images are suspended.

Cheng Han stands straight like a pine tree, staring unwaveringly at the scene in the illusion.

Female Mysterious Master Lan Jiayao stands beside him, quickly introducing the relevant situation: "The 'Scout Eagles' sent by the war zone have discovered abnormal phenomena in this area."

The so-called "Scout Eagles" are war eagles that have been modified to a certain extent and are specifically used to investigate the situation around the war zone.

By the way, before the War Eagle Legion entered this realm, the reconnaissance tasks were mainly undertaken by the Mysterious Boats.

However, due to frequent battles, there is a severe shortage of Mysterious Boats, and the reconnaissance area can only cover a range of 300 kilometers around the war zone.

As for the farther areas, only low-frequency reconnaissance can be maintained, which means investigating once a day to get a simple understanding of the situation.

After the arrival of the War Eagle Legion, the situation has changed greatly.

The war zone has modified 1,500 Scout Eagles, patrolling the area within a radius of 600 kilometers without interruption, closely monitoring the movements on the sea.

This greatly relieves the pressure on the Mysterious Boat forces and allows the war zone to have an earlier understanding of the movements of sea monsters.

The increasing importance of the War Eagle Legion is just one of the reasons.

At this moment, Lan Jiayao raised her hand and pointed to the image, saying, "Vice Commander Cheng, when the Scout Eagle flew past that area, it unexpectedly saw many white circles underwater."

The image displayed is an aerial view from high above.

It can be vaguely discerned that there are strange traces emerging from the sea surface, resembling a large number of bubbles gathering together.

These traces vaguely form concentric circles, stacked on top of each other.

Lan Jiayao timely drew a conclusion, "We highly suspect that these are special traces left by one of the three major sea tribes in the Abyssal Realm, the 'Black Scale Tribe'."

The so-called "three major sea tribes" are the races that have an absolute advantage in this realm and are the main enemies faced by the Wan Hao Tribe.

In comparison.

Originally, the various sea monsters killed in the Dongli War Zone, whether it was the Flying Sword Shark or the Flying Snake, were all considered "small fry".

The female Xuan Master immediately presented evidence: "The Black Scale Clan is a race naturally skilled in water-based extraordinary abilities. Every adult Black Scale Sea Monster's water-based secret technique is not much inferior to that of Xuan Masters."

"The Black Scale Clan is divided into maternal tribes. During the long-distance migration process, each tribe stops to rest every certain distance."

"At this time, they usually release secret techniques to construct a protective circle, enclosing all individuals of the entire tribe to guard against sudden attacks from outsiders."

"And the most typical characteristic of this protective circle is what we see in the images. It is said to have a strong defense, even ten Xuan Masters working together would find it difficult to break through."

Cheng Han listened to the conversation and quietly made a quick deduction based on the visual traces.

The result came out immediately.

The female Xuan Master's conclusion was completely correct; the other party was indeed the Black Scale Clan.

The illusion from the deduction also showed the image of the Black Scale Sea Monster.

It is a creature resembling a newt.

Their bodies are streamlined, with a black horn on their foreheads, and triangular black scales covering their entire bodies.

This is obviously the main reason they are called the "Black Scale Clan".

Lan Jiayao added, "In the past, the Black Scale Clan only operated on the west and north sides of the battlefield and never ventured into this area. The Sea Clan is probably planning a new operation."

Cheng Han praised, "You are a very competent commander."

He could only determine the enemy's identity with the deduction of his All-Knowing Eye, while the female Xuan Master accurately identified the Black Scale Clan just by looking at the images.

If he hadn't spent a lot of time carefully studying a large amount of information about this realm, it would have been impossible to reach a conclusion so quickly.

When Lan Jiayao heard the term "commander," she had a faint premonition and said, "Vice Commander Cheng, you..."

Cheng Han waved his hand to interrupt her, "In the past few months, you have commanded the Warhawk Legion and achieved numerous merits. I believe you can lead the Warhawk Legion even better."

He deliberately paused and gave an order, "Starting today, you will assume the position of the official commander of the Warhawk Legion."

Lan Jiayao was instantly delighted and responded crisply, "Understood."

Now that Cheng Han has been promoted to Vice Commander, it is impossible for him to hold the position of commander for a long time. Giving it to the female Xuan Master is the best choice.

Under normal circumstances, appointing a commander of a legion requires the consent of the commander.

But Cheng Han's identity is very special, even surpassing Jian Wanli to some extent. Moreover, he personally established the Warhawk Legion, so even the commander cannot interfere.

Lan Jiayao remembered something and asked hesitantly, "The current configuration of the Warhawk Legion..."

Cheng Han understood what she wanted to express and interrupted with a smile, "Don't worry, everything will be taken care of!"

He continued to explain, "According to my plan, the ratio of Flame Eagles to War Eagles in each legion will reach one to three.

"In half a month, the second batch of Flame Eagles will be sent from the Profound Palace to the theater of war, and then a batch of Flame Eagles will be prioritized for the War Eagle Legion."

Lan Jiayao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Vice General Cheng!"

The female Xuan Master paused for a moment and said admiringly, "It is a very wise decision to use Flame Eagles and War Eagles together."

She had experienced multiple wars and understood the importance of numbers.

The cost of one Flame Eagle is equivalent to four War Eagles, and in a large-scale war, four times the number of War Eagles can launch more profound weapons and cause greater damage.

And the "one to three" ratio is the optimal data derived by Cheng Han through multiple war simulations.

The female Xuan Master currently had limited understanding of this, but she would definitely come to appreciate its rationality in the future.

Lan Jiayao returned to the main topic and said, "There is reason to believe that this Black Scale Tribe is likely to come towards our theater of war, and more Black Scale Tribe members may gather in the future."

Cheng Han nodded and agreed with her judgment, saying, "I agree with your speculation."

He couldn't help but think of the time when he played with the Sea King Momo and asked him a question, "Is the Sea Clan planning a major conspiracy?" The Sea King gave an affirmative answer.

He had an instinctual feeling that the sudden appearance of this batch of Black Scale Sea Monsters was most likely closely related to the grand conspiracy mentioned by the Sea King.

Lan Jiayao continued, "Based on the information I know, the most common attack method of the Black Scale Tribe is to use their innate talent to create dense fog.

"This is a very peculiar mist. Even if it is dispersed by a profound formation creating strong winds, it will quickly recover.

"The Black Scale Tribe also has a way to summon mist spirits to attack us within the fog..."

The female Xuan Master talked incessantly, giving a detailed introduction of the various situations involving the Black Scale Tribe.

Cheng Han glanced at the images and asked, "So, it is likely that the Black Scale Tribe will wait for more tribes to gather.

"Then they will join forces to create a massive fog that completely or partially covers the Eastern Li Theater of War, and finally summon a group of mist spirits to launch an attack?"

Lan Jiayao nodded heavily and said, "There is a ninety percent probability of that!"

The female Xuan Master added, "The attack pattern of the War Eagles heavily relies on visibility. This strategy can greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the War Eagle Legion."

Her meaning was very clear - the enemy was prepared.

Cheng Han pondered for a few seconds and decisively gave the order, "The Crimson Eagle Legion will dispatch two carrier battle groups to probe the Black Scale Tribe!"

"Yes!"

The Crimson Eagle Legion's composition was not limited to Flame Eagles.

Even before the legion arrived, the theater of war had provided a large number of War Eagles and Stone Carriers.

Cheng Han issued a second order, "From now on, the War Eagle Legion and Cloud Eagle Legion will organize large formations for patrols, closely monitoring the area within five hundred kilometers.

"If any trace of the Black Scale Tribe is found, there is no need to consult the central court. Launch an attack immediately to disrupt their actions."

"Yes!"

This series of orders made Lan Jiayao suddenly have a guess.

The female Xuan Master couldn't help but ask, "Vice General, have you already figured out how to deal with the Black Scale Tribe's attack methods?"

Cheng Han didn't directly answer, but instead said with interest, "Oh, why do you think so?"

Lan Jiayao quickly replied, "The purpose of sending Flame Eagles is most likely to gather information to verify the feasibility of the plan.

"You have sent the War Eagle Legion and Cloud Eagle Legion to battle, not only to disrupt the Black Scale Tribe, but also to delay their progress.

"Because your plan needs more time!"

Cheng Han's expression remained unchanged, but he was quite surprised in his heart.

Because the words of the female Xuan Master completely guessed his thoughts.

But Cheng Han had no intention of explaining it to her. Instead, he turned to look at a Xuan Master and ordered, "Go and bring the people from the Yunhai Research Institute here."

"Yes!"

Lan Jiayao understood the meaning behind this and was shocked, "Could it be that you really have a plan?"

Cheng Han finally revealed a hint of his plan, saying, "I don't have a hundred percent certainty."

The female Xuan Master was extremely impressed.

Honestly speaking.

Lan Jiayao found the Black Scale Tribe's fog attack very difficult to deal with.

The only solution she could think of was to continuously use wind-based profound formations to engage in a battle of attrition with the enemy.

The female Xuan Master never expected that just a few words from her would make Vice General Cheng already come up with a countermeasure.

Although she didn't know the details of the plan, she sincerely believed that this plan would be one hundred percent effective.

As for the reason.

Vice General Cheng was the most talented genius in the history of Qinghan Profound Palace, without exception. Wasn't this reason sufficient enough?!

For such an extraordinary person, it was enough to just believe in him!

Lan Jiayao herself didn't realize that she had unknowingly become a die-hard fan of her superior.

A die-hard fan to the extreme.
