One thousand two hundred kilometers away from Eastern Mountain City, a fleet was slowly advancing towards the city. The 'Fu' flag above the fleet was fluttering in the wind, showing the identity of this fleet.
In the command center of the main ship, a tall figure was casually sitting on a soft and comfortable sofa. He held a glass of red wine in his hand and looked at the crystal screen in front of him with a subtle expression. Looking at the news report of the 10th Legion defeating the Lion Tribe, his expression seemed to be somewhat unhappy.
"It's just a victory, is it worth such a big fuss?
You're talking as if other than their 10th Legion, the other legions are all trash and don't know how to fight. "
The one who said this was none other than the 14th Legion's Legion Commander Fu Long.
The adjutant standing at the side smiled and said to Fu Long, "You're right, if it wasn't for their 10th Legion coincidentally being in Eastern Mountain City and being lucky enough to meet them, they wouldn't have been able to win this battle."
Fu Long glanced at the adjutant standing at the side and asked, "Who do you think is stronger between us and the 10th Legion?"
"Naturally, it's our 14th Legion." The adjutant said without hesitation, "Under your leadership, our 14th Legion is invincible!"
Hearing the adjutant's reply, Fu Long's face slowly revealed a trace of coldness, "Are you treating me like a fool?"
Hearing this, the adjutant hurriedly shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't dare!"
"Don't dare?
I think you're very brave. "
Fu Long snorted, "If our 14th Legion is really stronger than the 10th Legion, do you think I'll slowly advance here and give such great credit to that woman Qin Jue?"
In Fu Long's original plan, the 10th Legion should have been defeated after a battle with the Lion Tribe, or even annihilated. The Lion Tribe that annihilated the 10th Legion would have to pay a painful price. When that time came, he would lead the 14th Legion to the battlefield and wipe out the Lion Tribe, saving Eastern Mountain City and avenging the 10th Legion. It could be said that he would gain both fame and fortune. However, who would have thought that things would not develop according to his plan at all, and there would be such a huge change in the situation.
This unforeseen event had occurred too suddenly and completely disrupted Fu Long's plan, causing the 14th Legion to fall into an extremely awkward situation.
As everyone knew, the 14th Division was the permanent army stationed at the Eastern Mountain frontline. When war broke out at the Eastern Mountain frontline, the 14th Division should be the first to send reinforcements. However, due to various reasons, he chose to stay put.
If it wasn't for the intervention of the 10th Legion, he would've been able to lead the 14th Legion to Dong Shan City and defend the city against the Lion Tribe's attack. He would've received the gratitude of the people of Dong Shan City, and the military headquarters would've praised him. As long as he could defend Dong Shan City, no one would be bothered about the speed of his troops. But now, before his 14th Legion could even reach the battlefield, the war had already ended. Not only would he not gain any benefits, he might even be accused of being a hindrance to the war!
Fu Long couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about how he had set up such a meticulous plan and how all the benefits had gone to that woman, Qin Jue!
The adjutant stood at the side and looked at Fu Long's gloomy face with trepidation. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that he would provoke Fu Long again.
"Pass down the order. Advance at full speed towards Dongshan City!"
Fu Long said with a cold face, "Send a portion of our troops to the battlefield and help the 10th Legion clean up the battlefield!
Remember, our 14th Legion must appear on the battlefield. Do you understand? "
"Got it."
The adjutant nervously agreed. He had to do this well!
…
Dong Shan Camp.
Qin Jue stood in front of the window and looked at the busy scene outside. His gaze was complicated. Although they had won this battle, her tenth legion had been crippled. Out of the 50,000 combat personnel, there were only 20,000 of them who still had combat strength.
Right now, there were two choices in front of her. The first was to recruit soldiers. Although recruiting soldiers could fill up the 50,000 combat personnel, it would cause the combat strength of the tenth legion to decrease severely due to combat experience and other problems. It would take at least two to three years for them to return to their normal level. This was too long for Qin Jue.
The second choice was to apply to the military headquarters to transform the 10th Legion into a battleship force!
Among the thirty legions of the Star Dragon Federation, only the first, second, and third legions were battleship forces. Each of these three legions had over a hundred battleships and were equipped with strategic weapons even more powerful than the Meteor Star Destroyer Cannon. Although the 10th Legion was known to be invincible, if they were to fight against the three legions, they would be annihilated in less than three minutes!
The first, second, and third legions were the most important troops of the military headquarters and were also the strongest troops of the Star Dragon Federation. These three troops had always been operating in the border mountain between the Demon World and the Star Dragon Federation, clashing with the direct troops of the Demon Court. An opponent like the Lion Tribe was not worth their time!
Now, the 10th Legion had been crippled in order to protect Dongshan City from the Lion Tribe. If Qin Jue used this merit to request the military headquarters to transform the 10th Legion into a battleship force, the possibility of passing was very high!
Once the 10th Legion was transformed into a battleship force, the status of the 10th Legion in the military headquarters would be greatly improved. She would also have a greater say in the military headquarters!
Just as Qin Jue was thinking about how to speak to the military headquarters, the adjutant Yu Na suddenly walked over and reported in a low voice, "General, there's news from the frontlines. The people of the 14th Legion have arrived. They sent people to the battlefield to fight for the spoils of war in the name of helping us clean up the battlefield."
Hearing Yu Na's report, Qin Jue's face instantly darkened. During the battle, there was no sign of the 14th Legion. Now that the battle was over, the 14th Legion had jumped out to fight for the spoils of war. Wasn't that a little too shameless?
"Call them back!"
Qin Jue ordered without hesitation, "If the 14th Legion dares to touch the spoils of war, beat them up ruthlessly. If they die, I'll take responsibility!"
"Yes!"
Yu Na accepted the order and left.
After Yu Na left, Qin Jue took out his phone, found Fu Long's number in his contact list, and dialed it.
The phone rang for a moment before it was picked up. Fu Long's hearty laughter could be heard.
"Hahaha, I haven't had the time to contact General Qin, but General Qin has contacted me first. Congratulations on your victorious return. Mayor Guo and I have set up a celebratory banquet for General Qin in Dongshan City. General Qin, please do us the honor."
Qin Jue laughed coldly when he heard this. "Fu Long, if you don't want to die, you better keep your hands and feet clean!"
With that, Qin Jue hung up the phone without waiting for Fu Long's reply. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with a smelly bug like Fu Long!
