Chapter 289 Swords Drawn

"Brother, what are you planning to do?"

As the Hawk Squadron Three retreated rapidly, Liu Feng sent a private message to Gu Ya.

"Wiping out a hundred thousand enemy troops in one move, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible, right? Can you really do it, brother?"

Hearing Liu Feng's tone, he still didn't believe Gu Ya. It was understandable, as no one could believe such a shocking feat!

If Gu Ya could really do it, he would definitely be recorded in history! Even in the future, Black Star Walkers would have to yield to him wherever he appeared.

Let alone the petty Great Black Star Empire, if Gu Ya wanted to conquer the world, no one would dare to stop him!

After all, in the current world, the number of countries possessing a hundred thousand combat mechs is less than fifty!

"Heh heh," Gu Ya said a little sheepishly, "Maybe I can do it in the future, but for now, I might be bragging a bit."

"Huh?" Liu Feng was stunned. Gu Ya couldn't wipe out a hundred thousand enemy troops in one move, but where did his confidence come from?

Gu Ya continued, "But throughout history, in large-scale group army operations, a single small mistake can lead to a complete collapse. Although I can't wipe out a hundred thousand enemy troops in one move, I can scare them away."

"What exactly do you plan to do?" Liu Feng quickly asked.

"Hmph, just wait and see," Gu Ya said with a confident smile.

The Hawk Squadron Three rapidly returned from an altitude of 80,000 meters.

During the return flight, Gu Ya witnessed the orderly retreat of the Xianxia defenders.

Heavy and super-heavy mechs were at the forefront of the battlefield, covering the retreat of other mechs.

The enemy's various weapons outputted madly as if they had lost their minds.

Along the retreat route, many defenders were destroyed.

"I need to speed up," Gu Ya muttered.

The Hawk Squadron Three did not return directly to Wuhe City but flew towards the Eternal Gale Grand Command Headquarters.

On the way back, Gu Ya tried to connect to the command center's communication, but it was constantly busy.

Indeed, at this time, the command center must have been incredibly busy.

All the unfavorable battle reports converged there, and the highest levels of the war zone were ceaselessly discussing the next tactics. Who would pay attention to the communication of a small captain of Hawk Squadron Three?

Therefore, Gu Ya personally led the team and personally met with the Commander-in-Chief of the Eternal Gale War Zone to present his tactical plan to him in person!

With no time to spare, he moved with the wind.

An hour later, the Hawk Squadron Three finally landed on the helipad in front of the War Zone Command Headquarters.

Dou Mei was already waiting there. Gu Ya had informed her of his plan on the way.

The two nodded to each other with great tacit understanding and led the team directly to the command hall.

In the vast and bright command hall, hundreds of commanders faced their respective holographic systems, constantly issuing combat orders.

The hall was bustling, busy, and orderly. Everyone was at their post, not a single one retreating.

In the center of the command hall, a giant, 200-square-meter holographic, three-dimensional controllable light particle sand table displayed the dynamics of the entire battlefield.

At this moment, the Xianxia defenders had retreated to 50 kilometers from the coastline, only thirty kilometers away from the coastal defense forces' range.

Two guards at the entrance stopped Gu Ya and his team, but Dou Mei ordered them away with a cold glare.

Gu Ya strode quickly to the back of the War Zone Commander-in-Chief and said calmly and composedly, "Commander-in-Chief, the mech defense team stationed in Wuhe City, all members of Hawk Squadron Three, have come to report. I am Gu Ya, the captain of Hawk Squadron Three!"

Sun Qihua was currently staring at the giant sand table in front of him, discussing tactics with several staff officers.

Interrupted abruptly by Gu Ya, Sun Qihua turned around with a hint of annoyance, his eyes filled with anger, and roared, "With the enemy at our doorstep, why are you here instead of fighting on the front lines!"

Dou Mei tried to step forward to explain but was blocked by Gu Ya's arm.

Gu Ya, calmly and fearlessly, stared into Sun Qihua's eyes and asked with composure, "I have a tactic to repel a hundred thousand enemy mechs in one move!"

Sun Qihua's eyes lit up as Gu Ya finished speaking.

He looked at Gu Ya with a thoughtful expression and calmly asked, "Tell me!"

Gu Ya said calmly, "I am a mech pilot, and also a field mech mechanic. My method is..."

When Gu Ya revealed his method,

Sun Qihua and the staff officers behind him were first stunned, then burst into laughter. However, their laughter was hearty, not mocking; they simply found Gu Ya's idea incredibly unbelievable and illogical!

"Young man, I admire your courage and your uniquely fantastic imagination, but war is not as you perceive it," Sun Qihua said, patting Gu Ya's shoulder. He politely declined in a mature tone of an elder, "Large group army operations involve the coordination of various branches, the use of weapons, attack echelons, tactical applications, engineering units, and naval navigation. Every aspect needs to be precise down to the squad, even to the individual. There is a great deal of knowledge involved here!"

The Deputy Commander next to Sun Qihua laughed, "It's like composing a symphony. The various instruments cooperate to play. When the trumpet should blow, and when the piano is needed, it must be thought out in advance and rehearsed repeatedly. It's not something you can accomplish through mere imagination!"

The senior officials put away their casual smiles and gathered together again to discuss tactics, dismissing Gu Ya's tactic as a joke to relieve the tension.

The other members of Hawk Squadron Three, including Dou Mei, also showed expressions of disbelief after hearing Gu Ya's words.

Tao Na lowered her head in silence, her expression filled with regret.

Liu Feng suddenly understood. Although he felt it was impossible to achieve, he still believed in Gu Ya wholeheartedly.

Qiao Weiwei grumbled in a low voice, "If I had known this was your plan, I wouldn't have come with you! You even said you needed me in such a mushy way, hmph!"

Dou Mei shot Qiao Weiwei a glare, reprimanding, "You should feel fortunate to be needed by Gu Ya."

Dou Mei's stern demeanor was truly intimidating. She was fully capable of surpassing Qiao Weiwei in terms of facial expressions, tone of voice, and eloquence.

All eyes of Hawk Squadron Three once again focused on Gu Ya.

They knew that if the highest levels of the war zone rejected Gu Ya, this plan would remain merely a fantasy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ya moved a step closer and said loudly and calmly, "Commander-in-Chief, please reconsider my method!"

Sun Qihua stopped his discussion and glanced coldly at Gu Ya. His gaze was imposing without being angry, sending a chill down one's spine.

All the other members of Hawk Squadron Three lowered their heads.

Only Gu Ya continued to look directly at Sun Qihua.

It was unheard of for an ordinary soldier to dare to look directly at a War Zone Commander-in-Chief who commanded hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of mechs, and to argue so persistently!

Sun Qihua withdrew his gaze and ignored Gu Ya, continuing his tactical discussion.

Gu Ya became angry this time as well, shouting in an even louder voice, "Please, Commander Sun, consider my tactic!!!"

Without a word, Sun Qihua turned and tried to slap Gu Ya.

Gu Ya firmly grabbed his wrist.

Their eyes met, composure against anger, their hands gripping each other tightly, neither willing to let go.

The Commander's security personnel all rushed forward. Two guards pointed their guns at Gu Ya's head, two held him by the waist, and two more firmly gripped his hands, trying to separate him from Sun Qihua.

Sun Qihua said menacingly, "I have already shown you enough respect, soldier! If you don't leave now, I will have you court-martialed!"

Gu Ya retorted just as impolitely, "Myopic!"

"What did you say!?"

"Hey! Young man, watch your mouth. This is the Commander-in-Chief who guards this territory! I can draw my weapon and shoot you for defying your superior!" a staff officer angrily rebuked.

Gu Ya coldly stared at the person threatening him and said, "You can try to shoot, but I guarantee, you'll be the one who dies!"

Everyone present was shocked by Gu Ya's extremely disrespectful words!

Dou Mei knew Gu Ya was crazy. Gu Ya had indeed revealed his desire to change the world to her.

Dou Mei thought those were just the boastful words of a young man who didn't understand the world.

She never expected him to dare to threaten even a War Zone Commander-in-Chief!

"What's wrong with a mere War Zone Commander-in-Chief? My dream is to change the fate of the entire Xianxia, and even the fate of the entire world!" Gu Ya said coldly.

Dou Mei's face instantly turned grim. It seemed Gu Ya had not given up on his crazy idea of changing the world!

What could be done!

Everyone else, including Sun Qihua, looked at Gu Ya differently.

It was a look that could only be seen on the faces of doctors in a mental hospital: suspicion, astonishment, surprise, and at the same time, sympathy, pity, and even a desire to quickly cure the madman spouting nonsense in front of them.

However, this look and expression only lasted for a few seconds before Sun Qihua, the commanding officers, and the security personnel all regained their anger.

A fierce battle in the command hall seemed imminent!

Just as both sides were on the verge of conflict,

A cheerful, elegant, and slightly detached laugh echoed from behind everyone.

"Hahahaha, Old Chief Sun, long time no see."
