Chapter 356 [355] Commander Cheng Deserves the Top Credit for This Battle

Qinghan Mystic Palace.

Jinshan Palace.

"...The Eastern Li war zone was besieged by a large group of sea monsters. Vice Commander Lan urgently contacted Commander Cheng. After understanding the situation at the front, Commander Cheng gave an important suggestion.

"Vice Commander Lan ordered the aircraft carrier fleet to make a feint, and the enemy's 'Poison-Spraying Giant Squid' groups moved accordingly.

"This proved Commander Cheng's guess that the attack target of the Poison-Spraying Giant Squid was not the fortresses on the three lotus islands, but the aircraft carrier fleet."

Palace Lord Yun Changtian couldn't help but exclaim, "That was close!"

It's entirely imaginable that if Commander Cheng hadn't reminded them, the fleet would have followed the instructions of the Central Court and would likely have been completely annihilated.

And this crushing defeat would have brought shame to the Mystic Palace.

Clearly flying the flag of supporting the front lines, but instead suffering a major defeat, was this reinforcement or deliberately sending people to their deaths?

"Later, Vice Commander Lan personally contacted the general of the war zone, proposing a new combat plan, which the general agreed to and was willing to cooperate with.

"When the great battle began, as Commander Cheng had predicted, the Poison-Spraying Giant Squid sprayed out a large amount of water mist, completely obscuring the front battlefield.

"More than 40,000 warhawks participating in the battle, along with the entire fleet, were all shrouded in the mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Then, from the cloud layer in the sky, more than 150,000 flying snakes rushed out, heading straight for the warhawk groups..."

The subordinate paused here, taking a breath.

Palace Lord Yun listened with his heart in his throat, and couldn't help but urge, "Continue."

The subordinate did not dare to delay, and continued to narrate: "At this crucial moment, the warhawk groups simultaneously fired thousands of mystic weapons towards the sky and the sea, followed by a collective turn.

"The Central Court had previously mobilized all the wind-type mystic arrays within the war zone, secretly deploying them on the front battlefield, and then urgently activated the mystic arrays, instantly dispelling most of the fog barrier."

Palace Lord Yun couldn't help but praise, "Good strategy!"

With this Mystic Overseer's experience, he immediately judged that this was definitely a "luring the enemy in deep" scheme.

The flying snake groups rushed out of the ambushing rain cloud layer, and while their descent was fast, retreating would be much slower.

And the maneuverability of the warhawk squadrons was significantly stronger than the flying snakes, allowing them to flank the flying snake groups from both the left and right directions at any time.

In other words.

The enemy's flying snake groups were essentially walking into a trap.

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

"With an order from Vice Commander Lan, the two warhawk squadrons once again performed a turn, encircling the flying snake groups.

"Subsequently, the warhawks fired six waves of mystic weapons in succession, almost completely annihilating the hundreds of thousands of flying snakes, and a rain of flying snakes literally fell on the inner sea."

Palace Lord Yun couldn't help but ask, "And then?"

He knew very well that the enemy had lost its most important air power, and no other type of unit could restrain the warhawks.

On the other hand, with such heavy losses, the remaining sea monsters must have panicked and would have no way to fight against them.

In short.

At this point, the Warhawk Legion had basically secured the victory.

The difference lay in how much subsequent spoils they could obtain.

"Vice Commander Lan issued another order, dividing the sea surface into several combat zones, and had the warhawk groups conduct carpet bombing.

"The war report from Divine City said that 60,000 Qinghan mystic weapons were dropped within five minutes, and a large area of the sea was completely boiled.

"According to rough statistics, at least 160,000 Poison-Spraying Giant Squid were killed, and the number of other sea monsters killed was no less than 250,000."

Palace Lord Yun's face lit up with joy as he repeatedly praised, "Good! This battle was fought beautifully!"

Based on the current situation, this was definitely another glorious victory.

The Warhawk Legion's gains were only slightly less than the great battle on the day of their arrival.

These two great battles were the two most powerful pieces of evidence, sufficient to prove that warhawks are a useful and epoch-making weapon.

The subordinate reported on the subsequent battle: "The sea monsters that were not killed either submerged into the deeper sea or took refuge in the giant wave area of the outer sea.

"The Sea Hawk units were dispatched in large numbers to begin exterminating the underwater sea monsters, while the aircraft carrier fleet sent out small fleets, activating the 'Wave-Taming Mystic Array' to practice entering the outer sea to pursue the enemy."

The so-called "Wave-Taming Mystic Array" was used to calm the waves impacting one's side, which was a simple mystic array that did not consume much mystic crystal.

"The Central Court sent out mystic ship units to outflank the sea monsters' retreat, successfully blocking a group of powerful mystic warrior-level sea monsters, as well as two mystic master-level sea monster leaders.

"The aircraft carrier fleet also dispatched a large number of warhawks to provide support. The battle has not yet ended, and the final results have not yet been tallied..."

Palace Lord Yun took over the conversation: "This is a duel of high-end forces, which will not have a significant impact on the overall situation. The sea monsters are eager to retreat, so the battle will not last long."

He speculated: "The battlefield is the water world, and sea monsters naturally have a geographical advantage. Even if the Central Court has made preparations in advance, it is estimated that they can only block one sea monster leader at most."

The subordinate finally reported the battle assessment: "The war report from Divine City recognizes Commander Cheng's contribution as the greatest. He saw through the enemy's strategy and saved the entire battle in one fell swoop."

Palace Lord Yun nodded emphatically: "That's indeed the case! Without Commander Cheng, I don't know how this battle would have turned out."

The subordinate also said: "Divine City also believes that Vice Commander Lan led the fleet to eliminate a large number of sea monsters, and her contribution can be rated as second."

Palace Lord Yun smiled: "That's how it should be."

Vice Commander Lan was considered a direct descendant cultivated by this Mystic Overseer, and her face naturally shone brightly after fighting such a beautiful battle.

Palace Lord Yun then instructed: "Immediately report the battle situation to Commander Cheng!"

The subordinate immediately responded: "Yes!"

Crimson Armor Hall.

Regarding the fierce war in the Eastern Li war zone, Cheng Han, with the help of the All-Knowing Eye, knew the result even earlier than Palace Lord Yun.

He was not at all surprised by the outcome of this battle.

He directly pointed out the enemy's key trump card, which was equivalent to his side seeing the other side's cards at the poker table. If Vice Commander Lan still couldn't come up with a combat strategy, the female mystic master might as well slit her throat.

Speaking of which.

Cheng Han was also very happy.

He only said a few words from afar, without putting in any effort, and easily won the top credit. What could be better than this?

Of course not!

And credit means—rewards!

Soon.

This war report spread throughout the Mystic Palace like a hurricane.

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

Since the founding of the Qinghan Mystic Palace, for thousands of years, no mystic warrior had ever been so prominent, completely overshadowing all the mystic masters in the palace.

*

Three days later.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the illusory sound of waves.

The Mystic Palace's protective mystic array rippled with large swathes of faint ripples.

The range of the ripples quickly expanded, spreading to a distance of one hundred kilometers in just two breaths, resembling an ocean in the void.

The most peculiar thing was that the shape of this large area of ripples looked extremely like a warhawk.

This was undoubtedly a tribute to the warhawks.

It was also a ceremony to celebrate the glorious victory of the Warhawk Legion.

Falcon Hunting Mountain.

Headquarters of the Warhawk Legion.

In full view of the public.

The two Hall Masters, namely Hall Master Cheng Han of the Crimson Armor Hall, and Mystic Master Ling Ye, Hall Master of the Sky Calming Hall, each sat in the cockpit of a warhawk.

This seemed to be a signal.

Five hundred warriors climbed onto their respective warhawks.

"Take off!"

The loud roar resounded throughout the huge square.

"Buzz~"

The nimble mystic array was immediately activated.

Batches of warhawks were rapidly launched into the air, flying in neat formations towards the protective mystic array.

According to the plan, this batch of warhawks would conduct a long-distance flight, flying along the "Qinghan Spiritual Branch" all the way to the distant Tai'an Small Spiritual Realm.

The so-called "Qinghan Spiritual Branch" was the section of the spiritual branch under the jurisdiction of the Qinghan Mystic Palace.

The total mileage of this flight would exceed 9,600 kilometers, and they would stop at eight small spiritual realms along the way to replenish fuel for the warhawks.

A quarter of an hour later.

The warhawk group flew out of the Mystic Palace and disappeared into the distance.

*

Two hours later.

Qinghan Spiritual Branch.

Inside a Sky-Connecting Path.

The so-called "Sky-Connecting Path" was a super pipeline naturally formed inside the Shenrong spiritual branch, with a diameter of more than two kilometers, running through the entire spiritual branch.

This peculiar structure made the Sky-Connecting Path a "highway" for logistics transportation.

At every moment, a large number of cargo airships shuttled through it, transporting all kinds of materials to various small spiritual realms.

At this time.

At a large airship station belonging to the Mystic Palace, called "Qinghan Station."

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

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

"Everyone, please show your airship tickets!"

A ticket inspector in uniform shouted loudly, looking at the long queue.

The young man took out a hard card from his pocket and looked up slightly at the airship.

At this moment.

His face was completely revealed.

It was Cheng Han.
