High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

After returning from Bai Fei's place.

Chen Feng opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.

Just then, the alarm clock on the cabinet next to the bed rang, and the schedule on it showed that today was the day to meet with Chu Zijing, the deputy commander of the field regiment.

......

As Chen Feng led Li Yuanwei through the crisscrossing corridors of the work area and arrived at the door of the agreed meeting room,...

The glass door was pushed open, and Chen Feng and Li Yuanwei entered the conference room one after the other.

The man in the main seat was the first to stand up.

He raised his hand and gave a standard military salute.

He wore a crisp, dark military uniform, his posture upright like a pine tree, his face bearing the distinctively rugged features of a soldier, and the insignia of the field regiment commander on his shoulder straps gleamed brightly in the light.

However, sitting next to the man was a woman dressed in the uniform of a military officer from the Snowstorm City.

The woman wore a brocade military robe with alternating silver and dark blue patterns, and the collar was adorned with tiny ice crystals. On the inner armor beneath her robe, there was also a domain lord's medal of the Snowstorm City-State.

It was actually a domain lord from the Snowstorm City-State!!

A Desolate-level expert!!

The woman leaned back in her chair, her slender fingertips casually tapping the leather nail on her forearm, a hint of nonchalant languor in her eyes.

"Mr. Chen Feng, welcome to the command structure of the Frozen Fortress. I am Ling Shan Wu Yu, the commander of the 16th Division of the Second Legion of the Snowstorm City State. You can call me Commander Yu." the woman said.

The commander of the snow-covered city?

Chen Feng and Li Yuanwei exchanged a glance. Clearly, neither of them could figure out why Ling Shan Wu Yu, a domain lord, would appear in what was merely a handover procedure at the regimental headquarters.

"Chen Feng, this Lord Ling Shuang was sent by Lieutenant General Huo Yan, the deputy commander of the fortress, to assist with the handover. With her help, our future mission procedures will be clearer," Chu Zijing said with a smile, turning to the side to introduce her.

His tone, however, carried an undisguised respect.

"Alright, let's begin," Chen Feng said calmly.

After Chen Feng and Li Yuanwei took their seats...

Ling Shan Wu Yu straightened up slightly, raised his chin at Chen Feng, and said in his usual casual tone, "I had heard that a powerful magician would be coming to the Frozen Fortress. He is even more handsome than I expected."

Ling Shan Wu Yu smiled faintly, and immediately flipped her fingers to open a stack of field regiment information on the table.

The handover with Chen Feng's field regiment began...

......

Three hours later, Chen Feng's handover procedures were officially completed, and Chen Feng officially became the commander of the 79th Field Regiment.

After Commander Ling Shan Wu Yu left the conference room, Deputy Regiment Commander Chu Zijing breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly quite wary of the departing Lord of the Wind and Snow City.

"What's wrong?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat curiously.

Chu Zijing was somewhat taken aback, seemingly only now realizing that Chen Feng's insight was astonishingly sharp, able to catch even the slightest clues.

"Commander, although Commander Ling Shan Wu Yu is from the Snowstorm City-State, he has always been a confidant of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huo Yan. Although he is a bit arrogant, he ranks among the top in the Fortress Headquarters in terms of both combat command and individual strength. I am really a little nervous about such an important figure," Chu Zijing confessed.

"Oh, I see. But she didn't say anything just now," Chen Feng said calmly.

"That's what makes me uneasy... You didn't see it, she was just staring at you..."

"Cough...cough." Li Yuanwei reminded him twice.

"It's alright. Tell me about the situation on the western front recently so I can prepare accordingly," Chen Feng asked.

"Recently, the density of patrols around the swarm has dropped abnormally, but the sentries have repeatedly detected signs of large-scale swarm movements, especially in the western defense zone where the pressure has increased sharply. Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huo's idea is that after you take over, the 79th Regiment can flexibly adjust its battle line deployment and does not have to stick to conventional positional warfare."

Chen Feng looked at the new regimental commander's ID card in his hand.

Entrusting him with command of a field regiment directly reveals a deeper underlying concern: the increasingly dire situation of the fortified defenses.

This will always be a heavy burden on Chen Feng's shoulders.

Chen Feng asked calmly, "Is the 79th Regiment's command structure complete? What is its current combat readiness level?"

"The original regimental commander, Zhou Shi, was a peak Earth-rank expert who had organized more than ten reconnaissance operations in the insectoid territory. He was a veteran officer who dared to take on tough challenges. The three battalion commanders under him were also Earth-rank experts who had guarded the border for many years. The command system was complete, and the combat strength was in the upper-middle range among the regimental-level units."

Chu Zijing crossed his arms, his tone carrying a hint of admiration for the old regimental commander.

"Although the troops have maintained a level-two combat readiness for a long time, Regiment Commander Zhou Shi's arrangements are very organized. After receiving the new appointment, he not only made sure that you had enough ammunition and supplies, but also ensured that the twelve monitoring posts under the jurisdiction of the 79th Marine Regiment were operating normally without any omissions."

"He is a good and dedicated regimental commander," Li Yuanwei echoed.

"Where was Commander Zhou Shi transferred to?" Chen Feng asked.

Chu Zijing's expression straightened slightly.

"Regiment Commander Zhou Shi received a demotion order from the fortress headquarters three days ago, promoting him to staff officer of the northern garrison area of ​​the permafrost fortress. His rank was raised by half a grade. He packed his bags the night before last and went to the northern front to take up his post."

"Okay, that's good," Chen Feng said.

"But Commander, the western defense zone of the fortress has recently seen a lot of officer changes. Many regimental commanders have been replaced with officers who are more skilled in attacking fortified positions. It is very likely that a large-scale offensive against the Purple Insectoids will be launched on the western front. You may want to be prepared for this as well," Chu Zijing kindly reminded him.

"Okay, I will. Thank you for reminding me," Chen Feng nodded and said.

"Yes." Chu Zijing nodded.

He then pushed a stack of military documents in front of Chen Feng, the covers of which were printed with the words "[79th Legion - Top Secret]" in scarlet.

"Commander, these are the 79th Regiment's officer roster, equipment list, past battle reports, and detailed defensive map. At the top of these documents are the latest missions issued from above. Please take a look carefully. Once you are ready, the fortress will send a transport station to send us back to the western defense zone tomorrow."

After Chu Zijing finished speaking, he gave Chen Feng a standard military salute, and a faint smile began to appear on his face.

Chen Feng returned Chu Zijing's salute.

"Alright, I'll also have my warriors prepare. We'll depart on time tomorrow for the western defense zone."
