Everyone in the command headquarters was silent, not knowing what to do.
If only the Commander wasn't injured.
With the Commander's abilities, he could easily deliver supplies to each of the defending islands and bolster the spirits of the soldiers there who were on the verge of collapse.
But the Commander was also severely injured, spitting blood last night, unable to get out of bed.
At this moment.
The atmosphere in the command headquarters was filled with dejection.
At this time.
A man in white, sitting cross-legged on the coffee table, starkly contrasting with the military uniforms in the room, took a sip of tea and said, "I must say, you all are really lucky. Our Shu Mountain Sect happens to have a few Spiritual Beasts that could help you. I also want to help, only I couldn't find a reason to."
The commanders looked at him, their brows furrowed, their expressions revealing annoyance and resentment.
But no one dared to speak up.
After all, he was the Young Master of the Shu Mountain Sect — Young Master Ling Tian!
The ruthless reputation of Ling Tian was well-known, and they were somewhat apprehensive of him given the current difficulties faced by the corps.
They all knew his intentions.
He was pursuing the Commander.
As long as the Commander agreed to be his woman, he would decide to help deal with the Black Flag Army.
The Southern Domain Army indeed needed support now.
But none of them had a favorable impression of Young Master Ling Tian, let alone the Commander.
"It seems you all don't want to persuade her for me." Young Master Ling Tian smiled slightly and said calmly, "It's okay, I can wait. I guess you won't keep me waiting too long. Given the current battle situation, within a week, your Southern Domain Army will be fully collapsed."
After speaking.
Everyone had their brows furrowed tightly.
Exactly!
Given the current situation, they simply couldn't withstand the enemy's assault.
At that time.
Someone else came to : "! Commander Lu, the latest news from the front line is that all six islands in the Northwest have been occupied, with fifty thousand soldiers... dead!"
"..."
Commander Lu, at the forefront, angrily slammed a fist onto the table.
The person continued to , "Recently, there was also news that the enemy gathered eight thousand warships, seemingly preparing for a total assault..."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone's heart sank.
Total assault?!
The needed supplies for each island hadn't even been delivered yet, and given the sheer difference in strength, all of their soldiers would be annihilated...
That's hundreds of thousands of soldiers' lives!
Upon hearing this news, the smile on Young Master Ling Tian's lips grew even broader. He picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, took another sip, and said, "It seems it won't even take a week. Perhaps after today, the Southern Domain Army will cease to exist in this world."
Every face was filled with grief and indignation.
At this moment.
Zuoqiu Feng, cloaked in a red cape, arrived.
Her presence immediately caused the commanders to gather around: "Commander!"
"You don't need to say more; I'm already aware of the situation. Don't worry, there will be solutions."
Zuoqiu Feng reassured everyone.
Although she said that, everyone could see her pale face and apparent weakness; she probably only managed to come here by gritting her teeth.
Zuoqiu Feng picked up the binoculars and looked at the sea through the broad window with a sea view.
In the distance.
The silhouette of the enemy's eight thousand warships was visible, slowly approaching in a surrounding formation, intending to crush directly.
Finally.
She sighed softly, turned towards Young Master Ling Tian, who sat leisurely as if watching a play, and said, "Repel them, as you wish."
After speaking.
All the commanders rushed forward, anxiously pleading.
"No! Don't do it!"
"Commander, do not sacrifice your happiness for this!"
"Yes, Commander, even if the soldiers knew, they wouldn't be happy."
"..."
Zuoqiu Feng raised her hand to silence them, and then she looked around and said, "Don't forget our mission, don't forget our fallen soldiers, and those who are trapped on the islands; all sacrifices are for our belief!"
After speaking.
A sudden applause erupted in the heavy and sorrowful atmosphere in the command headquarters, seeming extremely out of place.
"Bravo, bravo, truly admirable!"
At this moment, Young Master Ling Tian stood up, clapped, and praised, "You truly are a War God, I'm so moved and even more fond of you. Rest assured, I may not be very reasonable, but I can be good to my woman. You are better than the women I had before, so I'll treat you better, hahahaha..."
"The premise is to repel the enemy!"
Zuoqiu Feng said.
"Naturally!"
Young Master Ling Tian smiled and said, "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
Then he walked out.
Once he left, everyone in the command headquarters anxiously continued to persuade Zuoqiu Feng.
But Zuoqiu Feng had already made up her mind, stopping them from saying anything further, standing in front of the sea view window, looking out to sea.
A tear overflowed from her eye, sliding down her beautiful face...
Outside.
After Young Master Ling Tian went out, he sinisterly smiled to his subordinate next to him and said, "The opportunity has come; my goal is finally about to be achieved!"
"Young Master, but the opposition seems formidable this time; it might not be easy," the subordinate said.
Young Master Ling Tian smiled and said, "Defeating the Black Flag Army isn't possible, just find a way to repel this wave of attacks. Once I get Zuoqiu Feng, we'll withdraw immediately, regardless of where the Black Flag Army strikes next."
"What should we do now?" the subordinate asked.
"Eight thousand warships aren't easy to repel; it seems we need to call it out for help," said Young Master Ling Tian.
"It??"
The subordinate was shocked and said, "Are you really going to awaken it? It might take some time."
"No need to worry; Zuoqiu Feng only said to repel them, not protect the islands. Let those islands become stumbling blocks for us to buy time," Young Master Ling Tian said sinisterly.
Then.
He took out a golden Beast Shell, placed it on the ground, and then, sitting cross-legged with his subordinate, formed seals with both hands, channeling power into the Beast Shell...
At this moment.
Qin Feng and the Heavenly River Taoist arrived, looking from afar at the warships at sea, with the roaring sounds of cannonfire and crashing waves, and bodies floating on the surface, they were astonished and said, "It seems worse here than the situation in the East Sea..."
"Should we retreat first?" the Heavenly River Taoist trembled beside him and said.
"Retreat for what, if you flee at the slightest difficulty, you will never become an Absolute Expert," Qin Feng squinted, feeling the scent of blood in the sea breeze, and said, "In that case, consider this a welcome gift for you."
Then.
He said to the Heavenly River Taoist, "Are you coming with me, or will you wait here?"
"...Of course, I'm coming."
The Heavenly River Taoist wanted to say he would wait here, but didn't dare!
"Well, let's go!"
Qin Feng said, performing an Instantaneous movement, already heading to the sea.
