281: Chapter 281 Battle Report Submitted, Command Headquarters Enraged

The First Extreme North Star Gate Defense Line, the Rear Base.

[Supreme Logistics and Combat Command Headquarters].

Outside the window was an extreme cold storm of minus seventy or eighty degrees Celsius, enough to freeze steel to pieces.

The howling gale whipped up heavy snow, roaring like fierce ghosts outside the thick alloy walls.

But inside the window was a completely different world.

The high-tier constant-temperature Formation operated silently, completely shutting out the piercing bitter cold.

Inside the entire command headquarters, it was as warm as spring.

Inside the spacious and luxurious commander's office, the Extreme North Logistics Director, a sixth-tier Martial King Realm powerhouse—Director Li Linfeng, was relaxing comfortably against a large genuine leather sofa.

Draped over this sofa was an extremely precious, priceless complete pelt of a fourth-tier Snow Charm Fox.

Director Li Linfeng was shaking a crystal-clear crystal goblet in his hand.

Inside the cup, the crimson, top-grade liquor exuded a mellow aroma.

Two young female officers with stunning looks and tight-fitting military uniforms were kneeling by his legs, one on each left and right.

Pairs of soft, boneless, fair little hands were ingratiatingly massaging his shoulders and legs for him.

"Chief, is this strength okay?" One female officer asked coquettishly.

"Mhm, not bad." Director Li Linfeng closed his eyes slightly, a self-satisfied sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth.

He took a sip of the red wine, in high spirits.

"Calculating the time, it should be over at Jueming Ridge by now, right?" Director Li Linfeng asked casually.

In his mind, he had already envisioned the miserable scene of that arrogant brat named Su Chen being torn into pieces and having his bones chewed up by countless exotic beasts under the condition of exhausting ammunition and food, without fire crystals to keep warm!

Grand Elder Wang Zhentian was Director Li Linfeng's sworn close friend of life and death!

Even more so, he was their most important interest transmitter in Kyoto!

As a result, his throat was actually crushed by an eighteen-year-old civilian brat in front of the whole city!

How could their Extreme North conservative faction swallow this anger?

"Does that brute Major General Lei Wuji think that just by getting you a Major General title, this daddy wouldn't dare to touch you?" Director Li Linfeng sneered aloud.

"On the Extreme North front line, this daddy has plenty of legal means to kill you!"

Cutting off ammunition!

Cutting off fire crystals!

Cutting off all medical supplies!

Under the terrifying beast horde of the Dark Moon Night, even if you were a Martial King, you would still be worn to death alive!

This was the consequence of offending the conservative faction!

Just as Director Li Linfeng was immersed in the pleasure of revenge,

"Bang!!!"

The thick door of the command headquarters was violently shoved open!

Because too much force was used, the door directly crashed into the wall, making a deafening loud noise!

Director Li Linfeng's brows furrowed sharply, a trace of Killing Intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"Bastard thing! Do you know the rules!" He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily.

Rushing in was an intelligence officer wearing the rank of captain.

At this moment, this intelligence officer's face was as pale as paper.

His whole body trembled like a sieve!

He was completely oblivious even when his military cap dropped to the ground.

He tightly clutched a document stamped with a top-secret seal in his hand, tumbling and crawling as he rushed in front of Director Li Linfeng.

"Ch... Chief!" The intelligence officer's voice was hoarse and cracking, leaking a terror so extreme that it made it impossible to breathe.

"The battle report... The battle report of Jueming Ridge is out!"

Hearing this, the anger on Director Li Linfeng's face instantly dissipated, replaced by a smug expression of as expected.

"What are you panicking for!" Director Li Linfeng snorted coldly, leaning back onto the sofa.

"What? Did that group of cannon fodder die out completely?"

"Or was Su Chen's corpse gnawed by exotic beasts until not even scum was left, without even a complete body remaining?"

As he spoke, he nonchalantly stretched out his hand, taking the top-secret battle report just transmitted back by the high-altitude reconnaissance drone.

"N... No... Chief, y... you should look at it yourself!"

The intelligence officer knelt on the ground, not daring at all to raise his head to look into Director Li Linfeng's eyes, cold sweat pouring all over his body.

"Making a fuss over nothing." Director Li Linfeng sneered.

He picked up the crystal goblet and brought it to his lips.

His gaze casually swept toward the text on the battle report and the few slightly blurry satellite photos attached.

The next second!

The smugness on Director Li Linfeng's face instantly froze and died!

Those eyes of his bulged outward bit by bit!

As if he had seen the most absurd picture in this world!

"Snap!!!"

A crisp shattering sound!

That priceless crystal goblet in Director Li Linfeng's hand was directly squeezed into powder by him!

The crimson liquor mixed with sharp glass fragments instantly splashed all over his body, and also splashed onto the faces of the two female officers beside him.

But Director Li Linfeng was completely unaware!

He didn't even have the slightest reaction even when his palm was cut and bleeding by the glass!

He stared fixedly at those shocking blood-red bolded lines of text on the battle report!

[Jueming Ridge Defense Zone Battle Report!]

[Encountered an unprecedented Dark Moon Beast Horde! Scale estimate: hundred-thousand level!]

[Battle casualties: Zero!!!]

[Battle results: Completely annihilated tens of thousands of the beast horde! Routed the main Formation of the beast army!]

[Slew three sixth-tier Peak commander-level King Beasts: the Ice-Armored Giant Elephant, the Shadow Poison Leopard, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape!]

[Remarks: No traces of using heavy psionic weapons found! Suspected to be slain by a single person!]

"Impossible!!!"

Director Li Linfeng let out a roar as if seeing a ghost!

"Boom————!"

The terrifying coercion of the sixth-tier Martial King Realm... like a suddenly collapsing mountain, burst out directly from his body without reservation!

"Puff!"

"Ah!"

The two stunning female officers next to him who were massaging him didn't even have time to react!

They were directly blasted by this violent Martial King coercion into violently spraying blood, their eyes rolling back as they fainted on the spot!

Even the intelligence officer kneeling on the ground was pressed flat onto the ground.

His whole body's bones emitted an overburdened "crack crack" sound.

"Fake! This is definitely fake!"

Director Li Linfeng stood up abruptly.

He grabbed the intelligence officer by the collar, lifting his entire body into mid-air, spitting saliva all over the other party's face.

"Did that bastard Major General Lei Wuji hack into the System and modify the data?"

"An eighteen-year-old punk! Bringing five hundred defeated soldiers without ammunition and without fire crystals!"

"How could they possibly withstand a hundred thousand Dark Moon Beast Horde?!"

Director Li Linfeng roared hysterically, his facial features completely distorted.

"And slaying three sixth-tier Peak commanders? Do you think those are three pigs!!! Even if I went personally, I would be torn into pieces by those three monsters!"

Director Li Linfeng's defense completely broke down!

Sixth-tier Peak commanders! Normally at the Star Gate front line, just the appearance of one would require him to personally mobilize heavy artillery clusters for firepower coverage!

And then send a few Grandmasters to fill it in with their lives before barely being able to repel them!

Now the battle report was telling him that Su Chen alone slaughtered all three commanders?

And the casualties were zero?

Completely annihilated tens of thousands of the beast horde?

This fucking science fiction novel wouldn't even dare to write it this way!

"Chief... The photos... The photos are real..."

The intelligence officer pointed laboriously at the satellite photos that had fallen to the ground, panting with difficulty.

Director Li Linfeng grabbed those few photos.

Although the photos were somewhat blurry due to the wind and snow, they could still be seen extremely clearly!

On the ice field below Jueming Ridge, corpses littered the fields, and blood flowed like rivers!

Those were the corpses of tens of thousands of exotic beasts!

And right in the center of the Shura Camp's drill ground, three exotic beast skulls as huge as three-story small buildings were bound together by thick steel chains, miserably piled up into a pyramid of skulls!

Iron-clad proof!

It was simply impossible to forge!

"Thud."

Director Li Linfeng let go of his hand.

The intelligence officer fell to the ground, breathing in large gulps of air.

Director Li Linfeng slumped down onto the genuine leather sofa.

His complexion turned blue and white alternately, and his chest rose and fell violently.

How could this be a battle report?

This was clearly Su Chen! Across tens of kilometers of ice field, using the most unreasonable method, delivering a heaven-shaking slap to Director Li Linfeng's face, and to the face of the entire conservative faction!

This slap made them dizzy and disoriented!

It made them lose all face!

They had withheld all supplies, wanting to watch Su Chen make a fool of himself, wanting Su Chen to die without a complete corpse.

And the result?

Not only did he not die, but he even chopped off the heads of the King Beasts that they usually didn't even dare to touch!

"It's over..."

Director Li Linfeng trembled all over, a layer of cold sweat instantly breaking out on his back.

He suddenly realized an extremely serious, even fatal problem!

If this battle report was transmitted back to Kyoto!

Transmitted to the Great Xia Supreme Command, transmitted to the commander-in-chief's desk!

What kind of tsunami would that trigger?

A newly appointed eighteen-year-old rookie major general, under the condition of being cut off from all supplies, fought out the most terrifying and incredible sweeping victory of the entire First Extreme North Star Gate Defense Line in ten years!

This would not only completely substantiate Su Chen's major general rank!

It would let the prestige of Major General Lei Wuji's faction reach its Peak!

What was even more fatal was!

The Supreme Command would definitely thoroughly investigate why the Shura Camp fought without traces of heavy psionic weapons!

Why the supplies were withheld!

By then, he Director Li Linfeng, along with the entire conservative military faction behind him, would completely become the laughing stock of the whole world!

Even, Major General Lei Wuji would seize upon this leverage and directly send him to a military court under the treasonous charge of "harming colleagues and delaying military operations"!

Completely discredited!

Dying without a burial place!

"No... No! Absolutely not!"

Director Li Linfeng raised his head abruptly.

In those eyes of his, an extremely venomous cold light burst forth.

He stared fixedly at the intelligence officer on the ground.

"Who knows about this battle report right now?"

Director Li Linfeng's voice exuded undisguised murderous intent.

"Only... only this subordinate and a few brothers in the surveillance room know..."

The intelligence officer was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

"As soon as we received the footage transmitted back by the drone, we immediately brought it to you."

"Very good."

Director Li Linfeng stood up and walked over to the desk.

He took a deep breath, completely suppressing the terror and panic on his face.

Replaced in its stead was an extremely cold resolve.

"Transmit my highest directive."

Director Li Linfeng said word by word.

"Immediately cut off all external communication signals of the Jueming Ridge defense zone!"

"This battle report must absolutely not be transmitted back to Kyoto by even half a word!"
