"Agreed."
His ears were filled with Jiang Wuming's words. Feeling the confidence in Jiang Wuming's tone, Qin Yuanzheng pondered for a moment before agreeing to Jiang Wuming's decision, then ended the call with Jiang Wuming.
He knew that Jiang Wuming was about to use the limited time before arriving at Putuo Mountain to formulate a battle plan.
Swish, swish, swish…
At the same time, in the Eastern Domain Legion’s combat command center, everyone, including Chief of Staff Zhu Shengxian, was stunned.
They had not expected Jiang Wuming to refuse Qin Yuanzheng's offer of support.
More importantly, Qin Yuanzheng had agreed to Jiang Wuming's decision almost without hesitation!
"Old Qin, are you really not going to let Xie Sipeng bring people to support them? If we notify Xie Sipeng now, there should still be enough time."
Immediately, the silence in the combat command center was broken. Zhu Shengxian asked the question on everyone's minds and gave a reminder.
"No need." Qin Yuanzheng shook his head, his attitude firm.
"But…"
Zhu Shengxian wanted to say more.
Qin Yuanzheng interrupted, "Shengxian, I know what you're worried about. Or rather, all of you are worried that the Zhan Long team cannot complete the mission alone. To be honest, I was worried before, so I offered support to Jiang Wuming. But you all heard him; he refused and guaranteed that the Zhan Long team would complete the mission successfully."
Hearing Qin Yuanzheng's words again, Zhu Shengxian's mouth parted slightly, wanting to say more.
"I believe him."
This time, before Zhu Shengxian could speak, Qin Yuanzheng spoke again. "The Kyoto incident, the South Port incident, the Global Martial Arts Tournament, the first battle against extraterrestrial enemies at the Loulan Ancient Battlefield, and saving the day at Hanshan Temple—Wuming has created myths time and again. We cannot view him with ordinary logic! He said he could do it, and he definitely can!"
The combat command center fell silent. Zhu Shengxian swallowed the words that were about to come out. Like everyone else, Qin Yuanzheng's words reminded him of the young man's repeated heaven-defying feats!
The young man was trustworthy!
"Shengxian, go and report our plan to the headquarters' combat command center. If they question it, say it's my decision. If anything goes wrong, I will bear all the responsibility!"
Qin Yuanzheng instructed Zhu Shengxian, then sat in front of the large screen, ready to watch the Zhan Long team's first battle.
"Alright."
Zhu Shengxian nodded, walked to the side, and used the combat command center's phone to report to the Ministry of Martial Arts Headquarters.
The Ministry of Martial Arts Headquarters' combat command center was even busier than the Eastern Domain Legion's combat command center.
This was because, simultaneously with the energy fluctuations of the great curtain appearing at Putuo Mountain, the other four domain legions and the Loulan Legion had all reported the descent of extraterrestrial enemies.
For this reason, except for Elder Zhou Hetu, who was stationed at Hanshan Temple, the other six elders, including Qi Wufu, all came to the combat command center. They attached great importance to the situation of this extraterrestrial enemy descent.
On one hand, they had to ensure that the various legions could kill the enemies before the great curtain, preventing them from infiltrating this world and harming the people of Long Country.
On the other hand, they wanted to verify whether the information Jiang Wuming had previously provided to Qin Yuanzheng and Zhou Hetu was accurate: were the latest extraterrestrial enemies descending mainly martial arts geniuses?
In the combat command center, the screen above the dispatch console displayed surveillance footage from six extraterrestrial enemy landing sites.
This surveillance was obtained by Ministry of Martial Arts staff through the police's SkyNet system.
"Enlarge the surveillance footage of Putuo Mountain in the Eastern Domain."
Suddenly, Qi Wufu, who was personally overseeing the battle, spoke, giving instructions to a dispatcher.
"Yes, Marshal!"
The dispatcher immediately took the order and enlarged the surveillance footage of Putuo Temple.
Through the footage, everyone present could clearly see a great curtain appearing at the entrance of Putuo Temple. There were ten figures within the curtain, and the twenty staff members from the South Zhejiang Putuo Mountain office stood not far away.
In the setting sun, they were all wearing Ministry of Martial Arts combat uniforms and carrying sabers in their hands.
Although their orders were to investigate the situation on-site, they had still equipped themselves in preparation—in case the Zhan Long team could not arrive before the extraterrestrial enemies emerged from the great curtain, they would have to fight!
Yes.
Even though the strongest among them was only a nine-star warrior, if that moment came, they would charge forward with their sabers without hesitation to fight the extraterrestrial enemies!
This was their duty, and even more so, their mission!
After enlarging the surveillance footage, the dispatcher from the Ministry of Martial Arts combat command center opened the information reported by the Eastern Domain Legion—the PDF file marked with 1-10.
"Marshal, it can be confirmed that among the extraterrestrial enemies who descended at Putuo Temple, there is a seven-stage three-star War God, a nine-stage two-star War God, five one-star War Gods, and two nine-star warriors. In addition, one person does not have any warrior aura. This is the person wearing a white robe, marked as number 2. The Eastern Domain Legion's report suspects that the white-robed youth is a mental power practitioner and believes that the white-robed youth's strength is at the nine-stage two-star War God level.
Just now, Eastern Domain Legion Chief of Staff Zhu Shengxian reported that the Zhan Long team will complete this mission independently. I raised doubts and suggested they dispatch other personnel for support, but Zhu Shengxian said it was Qin Yuanzheng's order. Qin Yuanzheng will bear all responsibility for any problems!"
Seeing Qi Wufu's concern about the situation at Putuo Mountain, the head of the Ministry of Martial Arts Combat Department subjectively believed that Qi Wufu was uneasy about the situation at Putuo Mountain and quickly reported.
This was a normal workplace reaction—whatever the leader was concerned about had to be explained in detail immediately.
The head of the Combat Department also understood the reason for Qi Wufu's concern about the situation at Putuo Mountain—the strongest extraterrestrial enemies who descended at Loulan Ancient City and the other four domains were only at the six-stage three-star War God level!
Setting aside the heavy guarding of Loulan Ancient City, the other four guardian teams all had nine-stage three-star War God protectors who could easily kill the extraterrestrial enemies before the great curtain!
Only the Zhan Long team had no protectors and also had a six-star warrior, making them the weakest among the five guardian teams in overall strength!
In addition, the head of the Combat Department had opinions about the Eastern Domain Legion's combat arrangements. By stating them now, it wasn't to shirk responsibility, but to let Qi Wufu and the other five elders make the decision.
"From a paper strength perspective, the extraterrestrial enemies who descended at Putuo Temple are stronger overall than the Zhan Long team, and not by a small margin. Yuanzheng's arrangement is a bit too bold. Should we remind him?"
One elder listened to the report, made a comment, and then looked at Qi Wufu.
Swish, swish, swish…
At the same time, the other elders, the head of the Combat Department, and even many staff members in the combat command center quietly looked at Qi Wufu.
"This is not Yuanzheng's style. It should be Jiang Wuming's decision. Let's see what happens next."
Qi Wufu smiled slightly, then sat in front of the dispatch console, looking at the surveillance footage with great anticipation.
The feeling was as if he was about to enjoy a performance!
Hearing Qi Wufu's words and seeing his relaxed smile, the other five elders and the head of the Combat Department said nothing more. Instead, like him, they patiently waited for the battle at Putuo Temple to begin.
Ten minutes later, under their watchful eyes, the most advanced armed helicopter of Long Country appeared in the surveillance footage.
The Zhan Long team had arrived!
