His words were like a wake-up call! The entire room fell silent at Lin Yuan's proposal!
"What's going on?!"
Mike Jason's expression changed, and he immediately rushed to the main control console.
A technician reported, sweat pouring down his face, "General! It's an encrypted communication from an unknown source. It... it bypassed our firewall directly and entered the highest command channel!"
"What?!"
Mike Jason was pale with shock.
The firewall of the Demon Suppressing Pass was the pinnacle of White Eagle Country's technology, claimed to be absolutely impenetrable!
Who could possibly have such great ability?
Just as he was filled with doubt and uncertainty,
Lin Zhan's steady voice rang out.
"Open it."
Mike Jason turned back and saw the unquestionable look in Lin Zhan's eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"Decrypt it! Quick!"
The data stream was quickly decrypted.
A three-dimensional star map and segments of deciphered energy communications filled with static appeared on the central holographic projection.
Following that was Ivan's detailed intelligence report.
Shadow Demons!
Creeping Calamity!
Joint Raid!
Twenty-four hours!
When these keywords were clearly presented before everyone,
The entire command center fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone's faces were filled with horror and disbelief!
"This... this is impossible!"
Mike Jason was the first to cry out, his face instantly turning as pale as paper.
"Where is the source of this intelligence? Is it reliable? Wailing Canyon... that's the nest of the Shadow Demons! And there are thousands of monsters! Who could bring intelligence out of there alive?!"
His voice became shrill with Fear.
He didn't dare to believe it, nor was he willing to believe it!
If this intelligence was true, it meant that the 'Sky Dome' defense System he was so proud of would be as good as useless in the face of Shadow Demon infiltration!
The West Wall would be the first place to be breached!
"Hmph! Are you questioning my grandson?"
Lin Zhan glanced at him coldly.
Grand... grandson?
Mike Jason was stunned for a moment before he finally reacted.
This intelligence... was sent back by that terrifying Dragon Country youth who cleared the insect tide in one move?!
In an instant, all his doubts were stifled.
That man's strength had already exceeded the scope of his understanding.
Saving someone and obtaining intelligence from the encirclement of thousands of Shadow Demons might truly not be difficult for him?
Having realized this, Mike Jason's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
But his eyes darted around as he immediately thought of another layer.
He forced himself to calm down, squeezed a strained smile onto his face, and said to Lin Zhan,
"Marshal Lin Zhan, of course I believe your grandson."
"Since the intelligence is so urgent, we must act immediately!"
"The Shadow Demons of Wailing Canyon and the worm army gathering outside the city are the core of this crisis! They must be annihilated before they finish gathering!"
He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over Qin Pojun and Tie Kuang.
"Our White Eagle Country's troops have just undergone a great battle and suffered heavy losses, and the defense System urgently needs repairs; we are truly stretched thin."
"The Dragon Country's troops have their combat power intact and have a peerless powerhouse like Your Excellency Lin Yuan."
"I think only your Dragon Country can bear the heavy responsibility of annihilating the alien coalition and guarding the Demon Suppressing Pass!"
What a clever open scheme!
What a perfect way to kill with praise!
Qin Pojun was so angry that his single eye bulged, and he was just about to lash out.
"Fine."
Lin Zhan spoke indifferently, interrupting him directly.
Everyone was stunned.
They saw that there was no anger on Lin Zhan's face from being plotted against; instead, there was a trace of a playful smile.
He looked at Mike Jason and said slowly,
"The mission to annihilate the alien coalition—we, the Dragon Country, accept it."
"However..."
His voice suddenly deepened.
"From now on, the Demon Suppressing Pass enters the highest wartime state! A wartime joint command center is established! I will serve as the Commander-in-Chief!"
"All countries' garrisons must unconditionally obey my unified deployment! That includes your White Eagle Country's Aegis Bureau!"
"Do you have any objections, General Jason?"
Lin Zhan's gaze was like an unsheathed sword, locking dead onto Mike Jason's face.
Mike Jason's face instantly became incredibly ugly.
He hadn't expected Lin Zhan to use this opportunity to directly seize the highest command of the entire Demon Suppressing Pass!
He opened his mouth, wanting to retort.
But looking at Lin Zhan's cold eyes, seeing the predatory looks of Tie Kuang and Shangguan Jinghong nearby, and then thinking of that god-like, demon-like Lin Yuan... he swallowed all his words.
The situation was stronger than the man.
"...No objections."
He squeezed those few words out from between his teeth.
"Very good."
Lin Zhan nodded with satisfaction.
He immediately began to issue a series of orders.
"Qin Pojun! Immediately assemble the Longxiang Army and prepare to leave the city to clear out the main worm force!"
"Tie Kuang! Shangguan Jinghong! The two of you will accompany me to Wailing Canyon to deal with the Shadow Demons!"
"Augustine! Grand Magister! You are responsible for guarding the pass, coordinating the various units, and reinforcing the defenses!"
"As for General Jason..." Lin Zhan looked at Mike Jason, "Your task is to repair the West Wall's defense System at the fastest speed! Furthermore, find a way to detect the Shadow Demons! Can you do it?"
"This..." Mike Jason showed a difficult expression. "Shadow Demons can merge into shadows and even energy mediums. Conventional radar and thermal imaging are completely ineffective against them..."
The entire command center fell into a dilemma once again.
They could fight, sure.
But if they couldn't even find the enemy, how were they supposed to fight?
Right at that moment,
The communicator on Lin Zhan's wrist vibrated slightly.
He glanced down.
On it was only a short line of text.
"Shadow Demons can merge into energy shadows; conventional detection is ineffective. Use high-frequency oscillation waves to disrupt the spatial medium."
Sender: Lin Yuan.
A brilliant light erupted in Lin Zhan's eyes!
He suddenly raised his head, his booming voice echoing throughout the command center.
"Abandon energy detection!"
"Switch to high-frequency sonar! Release infrasonic oscillations across the entire city! Disrupt the spatial structure! Force them to reveal themselves!"
As soon as these words were spoken,
The entire room fell into a dead silence once again.
Mike Jason and the technical experts under him were all stunned.
It was as if they had been struck by lightning, standing frozen in place as a brand new door seemed to be blasted open in their minds!
Of course!
High-frequency oscillations!
Disrupting the spatial medium!
How had they not thought of that?!
Inside the command center, because of Lin Yuan's earth-shattering intelligence and Lin Zhan's swift and resolute deployment, it completely turned into a high-speed war machine.
Mike Jason and his technical experts were like they'd been injected with stimulants, frantically tuning various equipment, trying to construct an early warning System capable of detecting Shadow Demons using the new logic of 'high-frequency oscillation.'
Qin Pojun had already gone to assemble the Longxiang Army, the chilling sound of the horn echoing over the military camps in the East District.
Everyone was on the move.
Except for Lin Yuan.
After sending out that crucial piece of information, he didn't say a word and turned to leave the noisy command center.
No one dared to stop him.
Nor did anyone dare to ask where he was going.
Everyone watched that young back disappear at the end of the street with gazes of awe, curiosity, and a hint of Fear.
Lin Yuan didn't go anywhere else.
He simply returned to the temporary residence assigned to him by the Demon Suppressing Pass.
It was a simple stone house built from giant black stones.
Aside from a stone bed and a stone table, there was nothing else.
Simple, yet quiet.
Lin Yuan casually laid down a Sword Qi barrier at the door.
This barrier was invisible and intangible, yet it was enough to isolate all prying eyes and block any impact below the Martial God Level.
After doing all this, he walked to the stone bed and sat cross-legged.
He closed his eyes.
The next second,
The terrifyingly vast amount of Life Essence accumulated within his body from slaying thousands of Shadow Demons and three Lords was finally no longer suppressed, erupting like a burst dam!
