Soaring of Galaxia
chapter-448

Qin Wushuang did not speak very coherently during his explanation. However, the more he spoke this way, the more persuasive it would appear to Commander Chen.

That Commander Chen asked with a low voice: "The team that attacked you almost annihilated your entire team? Just how many people do they have? How strong is their power?"

Qin Wushuang said: "The other party only had six people!"

"Six people?" That Commander Chen was shocked, "Six people beat your twenty people team to such a battered and exhausted state, and almost killed you all?"

"Yes, the strongest guy with the iron tower-like figure moved on General Manager Su first. Then, three young elite warriors restrained the five Refined Void Martial warriors. The remaining two lashed out at those at the Spiritual Martial Force. Those people are extremely powerful. Even though us three brothers had the terrain advantage, we were still forcefully scattered. Right now, we don't even know whether our Third Brother is still alive."

Lone put up a depressed look at the appropriate time: "Boss, I think he is mostly dead. I think that the other people also did not make it."

"Then how did you two escape? Could it be that you two ran away first?" Besides Commander Chen, that General Manager Su sized Qin Wushuang with a few doubtful looks.

Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh: "General Manager, although we are freelance martial artists, we knew the rules. How could we dare to defy the rules set by the great Commander? If it wasn't for General Manager Su issuing the command to retreat, even at death, the two of us would not have escaped! If we had run away at first sight, how could we return to the headquarters?"

"Humph, with all others dead, and no proof, of course you guys would be secured in the knowledge that no one can dispute your story!"

Qin Wushuang showed a trace of "humiliation" in his expression. Since he was putting on a show, he would make it genuine. Instantly, he pretended that he had been wrongly accused and argued: "Great Commander, us three Wu brothers came here from the Giant Gobi, and we've never learned such tactics! Although the team has scattered, it does not mean they are all dead. At least, General Manager Su should have escaped successfully! The two of us did not run away before the order was issued. When General Manager Su comes back here, you can ask him yourself. If the two of us had ran away on our own, we would not frown the slightest if you want us to die or execute us."

At this moment, Commander Chen clearly did not care whether they had escaped on their own. Those rules were only restraints and a stimulation to get everyone face the enemy with energy.

Since General Manager Su's team had already been defeated, then in fact, it would not be important how their team had been annihilated.

"General Manager Su, if these Wu brothers ran away on their own, I don't think they would have the courage to do it nor the pride to come here! With General Manager Su still alive, we will learn the truth one day. Since it's uncertain at this moment, we are still friends in the same trench, there is no need to make doubtful guesses!"

Commander Chen knew how to win people's hearts. He knew better than anyone that at this time, punishing these two's breach of responsibilities were the least of his concern. Stabilizing the morale of the forces was the most crucial.

If he were to push to kill the Wu brothers, it would make everyone even more uneasy and terrified.

Naturally, General Manager He would not have any objection. He did not hold any grudge toward Qin Wushuang. He only wanted to do a better job before Commander Chen and to put on a good performance. In fact, General Manager He only wanted to flatter the Commander and make sure that the he knew that he had remembered the rules he had set.

"Everyone, from the situation described by the Wu brothers, indeed, the power of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan was beyond of our expectations. Under our attacks, they still sent out a team to launch a sneak attack on General Manager Su's team. Regardless of their manpower, or their resolution, they've exceeded our estimations."

Up to this point, Commander Chen did not conceal the mistakes in his judgment.

"I must say that there is a huge difference in terms of the evaluation I'd made of the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. This is my mistake." When Commander Chen had said it this way, not only it did not make his mistake from his earlier strategy seem obvious, it made people feel that he was a leader that took responsibility for the failures.

Those three General Managers also said: "Commander Chen, for those situations, it was not only your judgment, but the agreement from all of us. We never thought that the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had so many hidden trump cards!"

Suddenly, a Transformation elite warrior next to Commander Chen said: "Great Commander, could it be that the Profound elite warrior you fought today be aid sent by the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan?"

"That's right, how could the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan have nurtured an elite warrior at the Profound stage? I don't really believe it."

"Isn't the Heavenly Emperor Qin in a tough battle for survival? They could still send in people to assist the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan?"

"That may not be the case. The Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan is a hundred legged centipede, even in death, they would show no signs of rigor mortis. They are struggling against the schemes of other powerful sects and are at a disadvantage, regarding the conflicts within the state or territory, any middle tiered elite warrior sent by them would be enough to shock the entire Orderly Mountain prefecture."

This was the truth.

After all, the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan was a top-tier powerhouse among the Eight Gates of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Even after being pushed out, or facing the schemes and vengeance of a coalition of the other powerhouses, these conflicts had all occurred from within the Eight Gates powerhouses.

The level of conflict was among the biggest and deadliest in the Xuan Yuan Mound. Among the lower prefectures, the majority was powerless to participate in these level of battles.

Not to mention that at their current level, the scale of conflict only encompassed a territory or a state.

"Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan…" The expression of Commander Chen was somewhat distorted as he was thinking about something. After a while, Commander Chen slowly opened his mouth to speak, "We must finish the attack on the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan as soon as possible. It will become worse the longer we wait! Although the powerhouse that issued this mission must have an eye on the disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, it is not guaranteed that anyone from the Heavenly Emperor Qin would not come to help. This Hundred Leaf Qin Clan is crucial to them, the longer we drag it out, the greater the possibility the Heavenly Emperor Qin would send in help."

"Commander's words are reasonable."

"Great Commander, the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan currently has a tyrannical amount of strength. Our forces at the most are evenly matched with them. We must find a solution."

Commander Chen nodded: "I already have an idea. You guys continues to set up camp around this area and form an encirclement around the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. I will get some help. It will take as fast as three days, and as slow as five or seven days."

"Commander, you are the leader of our armies. When you go get help, I am afraid the dozen of us would not be able to function without a leader."

Commander Chen turned to instruct his two trusted Transformation Void Martial Stage aides : "Chen Tong, Chen Da, during the time that I am not here, you two will be in charge of all matters."

Then, he said to those three General Managers: "Chen Tong and Chen Da are my brothers from the same clan. You three will listen to their orders for all major matters."

"Yes!"

Then, Commander Chen looked at Qin Wushuang and Lone again and said: "Since he has fled , General Manager Su will not come back for a while. It's rare for these two to risk their lives coming back here. Which of you is willing to take them into your team?"

General Manager Zhao said with a smile: "I lost three or four people in the last attack. It would not be bad for them to bolster my team."

"Ok, from now on, you two will follow General Manager Zhao!" Commander Chen only let Qin Wushuang and Lone leave after arranging everything.

"Everyone, for this trip, I am going to seek help from the strongest powerhouse in the Orderly Mountain prefecture. Anyone of you guys cannot replace me."

When Commander Chen said here, suddenly, he withdrew his voice and said in a low voice: "General Manager Zhao, do you know my intention for placing those two into your team?"

General Manager Zhao was somewhat in doubt as he had clearly not understood his intention.

Commander Chen said: "Those two seem strange. I cannot judge whether they are defeated soldiers. However, if General Manager Su cannot even escape, and these two brothers came back, their motivations are suspicious."

"Didn't they say that General Manager Su has escaped?"

"Before General Manager Su returns, they are under suspicion." Commander Chen suppressed his voice and said, "A moment ago, I was testing them by telling you guys that you all cannot take my position to seek help. If they are truly suspicious, they were sent by the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. If that's the case, we can sell them some fake news and let them send it to the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. It would be beating them at their own game!"

Hearing the words from Commander Chen, that General Manager He had become interested. He immediately said: "As I said, those two guys felt somewhat strange. So Commander also doubts them."

Commander Chen smiled lightly: "For any matters, it would be better to consider all sides of it. I don't doubt them entirely and I'm only taking some necessary precautions. I would rather hope they are undercover agents sent by the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan."

"Ha ha, that's understandable! These two's combat skills would not influence the overall situation much at all. If they are undercover agents, they would be much more useful tools if we used them well!"

"Yes, the words I spoke before were for them. However, seeking help is the truth. However, I won't be leaving. Chen Tong, you will take my place to head to the Deep Green Cloud Taoist Sect."

"Deep green Cloud Taoist Sect?" Chen Tong was shocked.

All the others also revealed a surprised look. All of them knew that the Deep Green Cloud Taoist Sect was undoubtedly, the number one sect in the Orderly Mountain prefecture!

Compared to this sect, even someone as powerful as Commander Chen still needed to look up at this giant sect. Thus, everyone was shocked when they heard that Commander Chen was asking for help from the Deep Green Cloud Taoist sect.

"Don't be surprised, of course, we don't have the skill to ask for aid from the Great Taoist warriors of the sect. However, there is an Elder Dong Qian who once owed me a huge favor! For sure you will get a response when you take my letter to Elder Don Qian! My letter will explain everything."

Chen Tong nodded to take his order: "Ok, I will head to that Deep Green Cloud Taoist sect!"

Fortunately, this place was not far from the Deep Green Cloud Taoist sect. With Chen Tong's ability at the Transformation stage, it would take him at most two days for the round trip by his flying sword.

Commander Chen carried out the task immediately as he wrote a letter and handed it to Chen Tong. He instructed: "Keep a low-profile when you head to the Deep Green Cloud Taoist sect, you only need to see Elder Dong Qian. Do not get involved in anything else!"

Commander Chen was still afraid of the consequences of the Deep Green Cloud Taoist Sect. Thus, the words he had instructed were especially prudent!
