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

It's important to know that during Sherlock's previous expeditions to other planes, even when the commanders of the various legions personally led the teams.

Support requests submitted to the General Staff also have to go through a complicated review process.

Not to mention that opening up access to the strategic warehouse and approving a few rule-based items to maintain order is already considered an extraordinary favor from above.

As for myself, I simply submitted a report about a cross-dimensional "training exercise".

The old man in the command headquarters acted as if he was afraid his own child would suffer any injustice outside, so he opened up all the access to the strategic warehouse, giving the impression that "take whatever you want, and ask for more if you don't have enough."

This treatment was indeed unprecedented since the founding of the Shenxia army.

"Commander, you can't say that."

However, as soon as Gu Xu finished speaking, Jiang Shu's round face shook, her expression clearly showing her disapproval.

"You're now the pillar of our Sheikha, the mainstay. If the old men don't pamper you, who else would they pamper?"

"Besides, this isn't just pampering you; it's trust. It's entrusting the future of the entire Divine Xia to you. This is a strategic investment!!!"

Jiang Shu spoke with a straight face, her expression one of utter flattery.

Of course, her flattery was both skillful and genuine.

As the chief of staff of the Calamity Army, being able to personally participate in and plan a true interdimensional conquest is like a windfall for her resume and personal growth.

More importantly, she is just one step away from becoming a seventh-tier professional.

Staying in the base and grinding dungeons step by step is nowhere as fast as fighting an interdimensional war with the legion leader.

Experience points will increase like a rocket.

Maybe after this battle is over, she'll be able to advance to the seventh rank when she gets back.

However, her flattery left several young staff officers in the command post stunned, and their eyes instantly filled with genuine admiration as they looked at Jiang Shu.

What is professionalism?

Look at that, that's what you call professional!

No wonder he became the chief of staff of the Calamity Army at such a young age, without even reaching the level of a Quasi-Saint.

You should learn this skill of flattery.

After hearing Jiang Shu's flattering words, Gu Xu didn't show it on his face, but he actually felt quite comfortable inside.

It was at this moment that he understood why emperors were so fond of listening to slander.

That's how you flatter someone; who wouldn't be confused by it?

Do you think I can't tell who is a loyal minister and who is a treacherous minister?

He raised his hand and patted Jiang Shu on the shoulder, nodding earnestly, "Not bad, Staff Officer Jiang! You have a very high level of ideological awareness!"

"Keep it up from now on."

Jiang Shu immediately straightened her back, looking greatly encouraged: "Please rest assured, Commander, I will definitely continue to work hard and live up to the trust placed in me by the General Staff and the Commander!"

However, just as the two were chatting and joking, the door to the command post was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Su Qiong and Song Zhiyao walked in one after the other, both still carrying the smell of dust from outside.

They had clearly just returned from the front lines.

"Commander."

Su Qiong approached Gu Xu and raised her hand in salute.

Gu Xu immediately stopped smiling and quickly stood up to return the greeting: "Sister Qiong, how is the situation in the army?"

"The main force has completed its assembly."

"The first echelon of the Calamity Army consists of 16,000 people and has now all arrived at the front line. The second echelon is completing the transfer of heavy equipment and is expected to arrive at the designated position in 20 minutes."

"Regarding the Qiongqi Legion, Legion Commander Li Suyuan has completed emergency reorganization, and more than 17,000 soldiers have volunteered to join the advance combat force!"

"The remaining troops will remain on the Blue Star side to guard the defensive line and assist with logistical transport."

Su Qiong spoke very quickly and reported the situation in a clear and organized manner.

"Also... Commander, the logistics lines have been successfully connected."

After Su Qiong finished her report, Song Zhiyao took over, opened the document in her hand and said, "The first batch of space supply boxes, medical repair pods, communication repeaters, and mobile defense components have been delivered to the front line."

"The engineering team set up three layers of stabilizing anchors around the crack to minimize the impact of spatial turbulence on passage."

"In addition, the cross-border communication module sent by the General Headquarters has also been tested and debugged."

"As long as they are not subject to large-scale rule interference, the frontline troops can still maintain real-time communication with the Blue Star command after entering the Elf Plane."

After listening, Gu Xu nodded slightly. Although this operation was nominally a training exercise, everyone knew the truth.

This is no longer an ordinary military exercise.

Earth has long been in a passive state, often being attacked by other races.

But now that someone has infiltrated Sherlock Holmes, everyone must understand one thing.

Sheikha is not a nation that can only stand behind its walls and take a beating. If you want to climb over Sheikha to get ahead, you'd better think twice about whether you're tough enough.

"Alright! Now that everyone's here, let's not keep the brothers waiting too long."

Thinking of this, Gu Xu raised his head, twisted his neck, and walked towards the door: "Let's go, let's go meet those long-eared guys!"

"yes!"

Su Qiong, Song Zhiyao, Lin Yuan, Jiang Shu, Li Tiezhu and others immediately followed, and the staff officers in the command hall also stood up and saluted.

"Respectfully seeing off the Legion Commander!"

……

After stepping out of the command center, the scene outside was completely different from before.

The Qiongqi Legion's stronghold, which had been ravaged by the Star Sea Hunters, was completely restored after the time rewind.

However, the lingering smell of blood in the air did not dissipate so easily.

On the distant battlefield square, a new flag has been raised, one of which is the black and gold battle flag of the Qiongqi Legion, with the ferocious beast totem on the flag fluttering in the wind.

On the other side was the banner of the Calamity Army.

In the center of the pitch-black flag is a dark red stripe, like a rift in an abyss, surrounded by twisted chains and countless tiny pupils.

Two flags hung side by side in the sky, the wind blowing from afar, making the battle flags flutter.

Outside the front-line outpost, a large number of transport vehicles are moving in an orderly manner.

Heavy platform vehicles loaded with war machines slowly moved across the road, while hundreds of engineering professionals stood around the space stabilization device, constantly calibrating the runic structure on it.

Black metal pillars were driven into the ground, with blue and white energy lines connecting the pillars.

Every few tens of meters, a large communication repeater stands tall.

From a distance, the entire front line appears to be covered by a huge steel network.

And further ahead...

Near the dimensional rift, tens of thousands of Calamity Army soldiers were already lined up in neat formation.
