Su Qiong and the others did not dare to delay and immediately turned around and came to Chen Zhenyuan.

"Su Qiong, Deputy Commander of the Calamity Army, greets Elder Chen!"

"Song Zhiyao, Deputy Commander of the Calamity Army, greets Elder Chen!"

"Li Tiezhu, Deputy Commander of the Calamity Army, greets Elder Chen!"

……

"Chief of Staff Jiang Shu of the Calamity Army greets Elder Chen!"

The group saluted in unison, their attitude extremely solemn.

For today's young generation of Sherlock professionals, the name Chen Zhenyuan is not unfamiliar.

It could even be said that most of them had already heard of Chen Zhenyuan's deeds in guarding the Ten Thousand Demon Rift before they even embarked on their professional careers.

The area is constantly attacked by alien races. At the height of the demonic tide, millions of alien monsters would simultaneously attack the defense line.

An ordinary professional might suffer a complete mental breakdown after a few months of such a long stay.

Chen Zhenyuan, however, spent most of his life guarding that place.

Over the years, it is precisely because he has been stationed in the Rift Abyss that the people of the far west of Shenxia have been able to live in peace.

Otherwise, the alien races that rushed out of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons alone would be enough to cause incalculable losses to the Divine Xia.

Such elderly people, regardless of their strength or achievements, deserve our heartfelt respect.

"Alright, no need to be so polite."

Chen Zhenyuan, leaning on the wooden railing, waved to the crowd: "This old man didn't accomplish anything today either. In the end, it was your legion commander who came to clean up the mess."

He knew very well that a large part of the reason he was alive today was that Vera hadn't taken him seriously at first.

If the opponent had used a forbidden spell from the very beginning, he wouldn't have been able to hold out until Gu Xu arrived.

However, there's no need to explain this kind of thing.

In the battles of war, there is never absolute fairness, and there are no "what ifs".

To survive is to survive.

Moreover, being able to witness the fallen soldiers of the Qiongqi Legion rise again was more tangible for Chen Zhenyuan than any other comfort.

Just as everyone was talking, a figure quickly rose into the air from the position below and flew towards them.

It was Li Suyuan.

After Gu Xu activated the time reversal, his almost fatal injury had completely disappeared.

The shattered armor was restored to its original state.

However, after experiencing a near-death experience, his complexion was still somewhat pale, and his mental state had not fully recovered.

Li Suyuan approached the crowd, first glancing at the fallen Star Sea Hunters, then solemnly straightening his uniform and saluting Chen Zhenyuan and Gu Xu respectively.

"Old Chen, Commander Gu, thank you both for coming to our aid."

"If it weren't for you, I and all the brothers of the Qiongqi Legion would probably be dead here today."

As he spoke, Li Suyuan's voice became noticeably deeper.

As the commander of the Qiongqi Legion, no one knew better than him just how desperate that battle had been.

The Legion's defensive barrier was shattered by Vera's single strike.

Those fortresses that were normally strong enough to withstand the attacks of ninth-tier alien races were rendered useless in the face of the enemy's assault.

Tens of thousands of Qiongqi Legion soldiers hadn't even had time to truly form battle formations.

They were killed or wounded by the group of Star Sea Hunters.

And he, the legion commander, couldn't even withstand a single blow from the opponent.

If Chen Zhenyuan and Gu Xu hadn't arrived in time, the Qiongqi Legion would have been completely wiped out today.

Even the cities in the rear were not spared.

Although Gu Xu had resurrected the fallen soldiers through time reversal, the entire defensive line had been restored to its pre-battle state.

But this doesn't mean that everything that just happened can be easily forgotten.

On the contrary, the feeling of watching his subordinates die in front of him, and being powerless to do anything about it, was deeply etched into Li Suyuan's heart.

Gu Xu noticed Li Suyuan's mood and patted him on the shoulder.

"Commander Li, we're all family, so let's not stand on ceremony."

"The Qiongqi Legion guards the border of Shenxia, ​​and the Calamity Army is also a legion of Shenxia. It is only right that we come to help you when something happens here."

"If we keep saying thank you like this, it'll seem too formal."

Upon hearing this, Li Suyuan was slightly taken aback.

Then, looking at Gu Xu's young face, he felt a surge of emotion once again.

He was naturally aware of Gu Xu's past deeds.

Knowing that Commander Gu had suddenly appeared and resolved several life-or-death crises in Shenxia in a very short period of time, and had even personally defeated the projection of a false god.

However, the two had not had much actual contact before this.

At most, they would have met at a meeting held at the Supreme Command, or when they were summoned during the last invasion of the Northern Alliance.

He felt more admiration and respect for Gu Xu.

Until today, I witnessed with my own eyes the other party emerge from that ghost sedan chair, suppress more than a dozen Star Sea Hunters with absolute dominance, and then reverse time to save the entire Qiongqi Legion.

Li Suyuan finally understood what this young man meant to the current Sherlock Holmes.

Fortunately, Gu Xu is a Shenxia person.

Fortunately, this professional with terrifying power is willing to stand on Sherlock's side.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, stopped being polite, and simply nodded emphatically: "Okay, then I won't thank you."

"If the Calamity Army needs anything in the future, as long as the Qiongqi Legion can provide it, we will not hesitate to do so."

"That's right."

Gu Xu smiled upon hearing Li Suyuan's words.

Jiang Shu glanced at Vera, who was suspended in mid-air by the red ribbon, and then at the Star Sea Hunters lying on the ground. A hint of amazement appeared in her eyes.

"As expected of the Legion Commander."

"We didn't travel very long from our base to here, and when we arrived, you had already resolved everything."

"If we had known it would be this fast, we wouldn't have had to rush so hard on the way here."

Hearing Jiang Shu's words, Li Tiezhu nodded in deep agreement.

They used almost every means of acceleration while traveling.

Several of the calamity army generals in charge of providing support nearly crashed into the mountains halfway through their flight due to their excessive speed.

Fortunately, because they were professionals, they were tough and resilient, which prevented them from suffering combat damage before even entering the battlefield!

They had expected an extremely dangerous and fierce battle upon arriving here.

Who would have thought that the main task after landing would be to observe the prisoners?

However, Gu Xu did not appear relaxed.

He looked up at the sky, which was gradually returning to calm, and slowly shook his head: "Who told you things were resolved? It's far from over."

"These guys are just the first bandits to come knocking; the real trouble is just beginning."

Jiang Shu's smile faltered slightly, and Su Qiong also noticed the problem. She turned to look at Vera and the others, her brows furrowing.
