Chapter 539: [538] What Exactly Does the God General Value in Him?

North An War Zone.

Central Courtyard.

Qiu Qiguang, the chief of the hill, stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at a squadron of war hawks soaring into the distance, deeply feeling that he had stepped into a huge pit.

No.

It should be an unfathomable super pit.

Regarding this great war.

Qiu Qiguang's initial plan was just to superficially deal with it, pretending to launch a probing attack.

In doing so.

Wouldn't it provide an explanation for the attack order issued by the Lord Commander?

However.

Qiu Qiguang never expected that the North An War Zone would deploy the first War Hawk Legion, conducting a carpet bombing in the target sea area.

This was like poking a hornet's nest.

In the following day.

Countless sea monsters, with over twenty different races and a total number exceeding one million, completely blocked a three-hundred-kilometer range of the war zone.

In this situation.

Even if the North An War Zone wanted to deceive, they couldn't continue to do so and could only fight with all their might.

There was no way.

Sea monsters wouldn't be fooled by you.

Qiu Qiguang was extremely certain that he had been thoroughly deceived by Commander Cheng.

The other party had already anticipated that once the war zone attacked the sea monsters, the White Squid Clan would definitely have a strong reaction.

The chief of the hill sighed with frustration and cursed under his breath, "Damn it!"

Qiu Qiguang's gaze shifted to a farther sea area, with a lingering doubt in his heart: "What exactly is in the sea area that the Lord Commander requested to attack?"

He was ninety-five percent certain that this thing was extremely important to the sea clans, which was why it had triggered such a strong reaction from them.

Just then.

Qiu Qiguang's gaze jumped and drifted towards another sea area.

With the help of Xuan Du's extraordinary vision, he saw an object suddenly emerge from the sea surface.

Although it was just a tiny black dot in his line of sight, it was definitely a big guy in reality.

Even if it didn't reach eighty meters in length, it was still around fifty meters.

The next second.

A pale white object shot up from the sea surface, rapidly ascending into the sky.

It cut through the air in a huge arc and flew towards the naval fleet outside the inland sea.

At the same time.

The big guy in the distant sea quickly sank below the water surface.

Even a fool could see that this was to avoid the mysterious weapon attack from the War Hawks.

A coldness flashed in Qiu Qiguang's eyes, and he muttered, "The harassment of the 'Giant Squid Soldiers' is really annoying!"

The so-called "Giant Squid Soldiers" were, in essence, a type of bio-enhanced weapon.

This was the specialty of the White Squid Clan.

It was with this set of tactics that the White Squid Clan was able to rank among the top three sea clans and occupy a vast territory on the surface of the ocean.

The Giant Squid Soldier that had just emerged from the sea surface was called the "Giant Cannon Squid Soldier".

The "Eerie Squid Missiles" it sprayed had a maximum range of an astonishing eighty kilometers.

If aided by the wind, the range could be extended even further, possibly reaching up to one hundred and twenty kilometers.

Qiu Qiguang approached the floor-to-ceiling window and stared at the sky without blinking.

After a moment.

The three Fire Hawks discovered the trace of the Eerie Squid Missiles and promptly changed their flight direction, swiftly flying towards the Eerie Squid Missiles.

Naturally, they were preparing to intercept them.

Qiu Qiguang nodded lightly, "Quick reaction!"

Just five seconds later.

Three Xuan Weapons successively detached from the Fire Hawks, emitting bright tricolored flames from their tails as they flew towards the Eerie Squid Missiles from different angles.

Soon after.

Three brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.

The Eerie Squid Missiles burst out of the flames, but their size had shrunk by more than half. After flying for two kilometers, they exploded into a downpour of raindrops.

This was definitely a very beautiful interception.

A faint smile flashed across Qiu Qiguang's old face as he murmured softly, "Not bad!"

But he knew very well that this credit should be attributed to the East Li War Zone.

The several War Hawk Legions of the North An War Zone were all trained by the East Li War Zone, and the core backbone was also composed of elite soldiers transferred from there.

The next quarter of an hour.

Almost every few seconds, giant cannon squid soldiers would suddenly emerge from the sea surface, launching harassing attacks, and then quickly diving back underwater.

The war eagle squadron patrolling the sky flew rapidly, desperately intercepting the cunning squid missiles.

Another large group of war eagles, mainly the Eagles of the Blazing Fire, took on the task of "whack-a-mole," flying over to shoot a wave of mysterious soldiers whenever they spotted the giant cannon squid soldiers.

In short, both sides were engaged in a back-and-forth battle.

The entire battlefield looked quite lively.

General Qiu was deeply grateful, saying, "Thanks to the war eagle army controlling the sky, the war zone would have suffered heavy losses if it weren't for them."

The cunning squid missiles were a terrifying and disgusting weapon.

When they hit their target, they would explode into large green gas clouds. If a normal person came into contact with the green gas, squid-like tentacles would grow inside their body and then emerge.

Without the war eagle army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With only the mysterious boat troops, they would be unable to handle the attacks from so many giant cannon squid soldiers.

Just imagine.

If the numerous fortresses on the five Lotus Islands were directly attacked by the cunning squid missiles, it would not only cause a large number of casualties among ordinary people but also trigger a huge panic.

General Qiu frowned, saying, "The White Squid Tribe is really troublesome. We can't continue to be deadlocked like this. We need a breakthrough in the war zone!"

He pondered for a while and suddenly heard a hurried footsteps.

"Bang! Bang!"

General Qiu turned to look and immediately saw a black-robed Xuan Shi running into the hall.

This person was one of his trusted subordinates.

General Qiu instantly concealed his worried expression and instead showed a gentle smile, saying, "Cen Bin, is there something important?"

He never hesitated to display a kind and approachable side to his subordinates who worked hard for him.

This was the way he managed his subordinates.

And the effect was good. The entire war zone was managed like a well-oiled machine, and his every command would be faithfully executed.

The black-robed Xuan Shi respectfully saluted and said, "Reporting to the General, intelligence from the Eastern Li War Zone has arrived!"

General Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and his tone involuntarily became urgent, "Let me see it."

The Eastern Li War Zone was the residence of Commander Cheng, so he specifically ordered his subordinates to regularly gather various intelligence from there and send it back to their war zone.

The black-robed Xuan Shi quickly took out a document and presented it with both hands.

General Qiu immediately beckoned.

The document flew up into the air and stopped in front of him, then automatically unfolded.

General Qiu only glanced at it, and his old face showed a hint of anger. He cursed angrily, "Damn it!"

The black-robed Xuan Shi didn't dare to ask anything and just kept his head down, saying nothing.

But he was full of curiosity. What kind of news did the General see that made him unable to control his cursing in front of his subordinate?

In fact, the reason why General Qiu was so angry was that he saw two pieces of news.

The first one.

Commander Cheng actually ordered the Eastern Li War Zone to allocate a large amount of resources to assist the Hua Yunmu Clan in building a giant statue.

According to the information he had gathered, the statue would be over a thousand meters tall, a true giant statue.

General Qiu couldn't help but curse in his heart, "The war zones are fighting fiercely, and Commander Cheng actually wastes manpower and resources on building a statue."

"Commander Cheng has too many resources. He should allocate them to the various war zones instead of using them to win over other races. Is this something a sane person would do?"

If it was just this, the General could barely tolerate it. After all, he had heard of some uses for the Hua Yunmu Clan.

But the second piece of information.

General Qiu couldn't bear it anymore, which was why he couldn't help but curse "Damn it" in front of his subordinate.

The document stated:

"Commander Cheng has ordered tomorrow to be the 'Grilled Squid Festival' and will distribute food vouchers to all the civilians in the Eastern Li War Zone, allowing them to enjoy a dish called 'Iron Plate Squid' for free."

General Qiu almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he read this.

A high-ranking commander of a major war zone, instead of caring about important matters on the battlefield, actually had the leisure to mess around with trivial matters?

Is he out of his mind?

General Qiu used all his strength to suppress the anger in his heart and didn't burst out with curses.

He glanced at his subordinate, waved his hand weakly, and said, "You can go now."

The black-robed Xuan Shi saluted again and quickly left.

Only then did General Qiu spit out a disdainful sound and flicked his finger, shooting out a spark.

"Phew!"

The document instantly burned to ashes.

Not even a speck of dust was left.

General Qiu looked out the window and silently asked the heavens, "What does the Divine General value in this Commander who can't even distinguish between important and trivial matters?"
