The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"No matter how exaggerated or outrageous you think this is, the facts are right in front of you."

Adam took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

He continued his analysis in an extremely rational and restrained tone.

"Based on the available intelligence and the final result."

"This guy with an elusive identity is clearly on the side of the Divine Xia Empire."

"He saved that old bone Xuanyuan Chen and helped Shenxia hold the line."

The fat knight frowned and tentatively asked, "Lord Adam, what do we do now?"

"Are we just going to swallow this huge loss like this? If the people and the National Assembly find out about this, they'll definitely tear down the War Department building."

"You have to swallow this loss whole."

Adam's eyes turned extremely cold, an absolute rationality devoid of all personal emotions: "Pass on my highest order: from this very second, all military operations of the United States are suspended."

"All troops that have crossed the line at the front should immediately switch to a defensive posture."

The Chief of the General Staff hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "What about our other allies...?"

"We can't worry about that now. Whether they continue their attack or not is their business. Let them fight each other to the death."

Adam interrupted him decisively, his tone leaving no room for negotiation: "No one is allowed to make any rash moves until the background and motives of this mysterious powerful figure are fully investigated."

"Even a test is not allowed."

……

Shenxia Empire, Longjing, Supreme Command Headquarters.

Li Weiguo sat behind his desk.

On the high-definition display screen in front of him.

It was playing a loop of radar data and video footage transmitted from the southeastern defense line.

His brows were tightly furrowed.

A short while later, the door was pushed open.

Zhang Daoxuan strode in.

He had just completed the awakening ceremony and rushed back from the Pantheon in the western suburbs.

But it was clear to the naked eye that this deputy minister, who was usually always strategizing and calm, was actually quite different.

The expression on his face at that moment could only be described as one of extreme horror.

"Weiguo, I've seen the top-secret battle report from the southeast defense line."

Zhang Daoxuan walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down without even glancing at the hot tea the guard brought him: "Are you sure the details Xuan Yuanchen reported are true?"

Li Weiguo stopped massaging his throbbing temples, looked at his old friend, and nodded heavily.

"The wavelength parameters recorded by the radar match perfectly with our own satellite synchronization data."

"The Beacon of the Nation's fleet, along with Oswald, who led the fleet, and four ninth-tier Saints, were simply wiped out."

Li Weiguo pushed a paper report stamped with a top-secret seal in front of Zhang Daoxuan.

"You just visited the Pantheon."

"I'd like to confirm something with you, about this person..."

Li Weiguo pointed to the frozen image of the black-robed youth's back on the screen: "Isn't he one of our ancestors?"

"Perhaps it's some hidden talent not even recorded in the archives?"

As the supreme commander of the Shenxia military, Li Weiguo was fully aware of all the strategic cards the country held.

But after sitting in his office for more than half an hour, he still couldn't come up with a solution in the ten-thousand-year history of the Divine Xia Dynasty.

Which senior figure's attire and power system can match this black-robed youth?

Zhang Daoxuan glanced at the screen and shook his head repeatedly with absolute certainty.

"Absolutely not."

Zhang Daoxuan's tone was resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

"The highest foundation of Sherlock, the Night Watch, has detailed records of the life, deeds, skills, and appearance of each predecessor on the core stone tablet of the Pantheon."

"I've worn those documents out over the years."

"Moreover, those senior figures who are clinging to life by the dragon vein's fortune all carry a very heavy aura of death and decay. You saw General Ye's condition when he forced his way out of the mountains, and that is clear proof."

"But Xuan Yuanchen clearly wrote in his report that the life essence in this person's body is extremely young, even more vigorous than that of an average young person."

"This one point alone doesn't match up at all."

Zhang Daoxuan paused for a moment, took a big gulp of tea, and his expression became increasingly solemn.

"Putting aside his appearance and vitality, the most crucial thing is the methods he used."

"Without the collision of the power of rules, without the release of massive energy, and without even basic elemental fluctuations, tens of thousands of people were wiped out on the spot directly from the level of physical existence."

"Such a thing is beyond the reach of even ninth-tier saints and demigods who have touched the pinnacle of the rules."

"Even Li Zhenyuan, that Origin-level powerhouse from our Divine Xia who resides at the bottom of the Abyss, probably couldn't do it!"

Li Zhenyuan is undoubtedly the true pillar of the Shenxia Empire.

But even if such a being, who transcends the mortal realm, were to make a move, it would inevitably trigger extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

This caused a violent roar from the rules.

But this young man in black robes, right in front of everyone, simply snapped his fingers casually.

This is a completely illogical and dimensional-reducing attack.

Li Weiguo listened to Zhang Daoxuan's analysis.

He leaned back slightly.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

But the expression on his face was quite obvious.

It was a profound sense of powerlessness and absurdity.

"Since you're sure you're not one of us."

Li Weiguo tapped the table incessantly with his right index finger: "Then who exactly is he?"

"have no idea."

Zhang Daoxuan shook his head: "Perhaps it is an ancient deity that has just awakened in some ancient and unknown ruin, or perhaps it is some kind of high-dimensional concept that does not belong to our world."

"Nowadays, the Earth is riddled with spatial rifts, and the world has changed drastically. It's not surprising that all sorts of bizarre and fantastical things have emerged."

A long silence fell over the confidential room once again.

There was only a slight humming sound of the machine running.

Although the two men were completely baffled by the pile of reports, there was one thing they were very clear about.

The sudden appearance of this mysterious and powerful figure helped Sherlock Holmes resolve a problem that could have led to its collapse.

In the extremely tense situation of the main battle in the East China Sea, with the forces of the Forbidden Water Clan and the Elf Clan pressing in, the situation was extremely dire.

This stunning reversal on the southeastern defense line.

It gave them a real sense of relief.

If the US fleet really manages to create an opening.

The heartland of Shenxia, ​​lacking protection from high-level combat forces, will be directly exposed to the enemy's relentless bombardment.

That was a real crisis.

Li Weiguo took a few deep breaths and forced himself to sit up straight.

The confusion and shock in his eyes vanished, replaced by the iron-willed decisiveness honed through countless battles.

"Whoever he is, at least today, at that critical moment just now."

"He truly saved my Shenxia soldiers and protected the southeastern sea gate."

After saying that, Li Weiguo leaned forward and pulled over the encrypted internal telephone on the table.
