Chapter 551 450: Triangle City: Full-Scale Offensive

"I really did it!" Gao Neng's gaze swept across the battlefield. For the first time, he felt he had accomplished something he had never even dreamed of.

A year ago, his only dream had been to get into the Military University.

But even a dream like that was a luxury a year ago. After all, in the Forgotten Land, very few students ever managed to get into the Military University.

But looking back at today...

He was now standing on the Northern District Battlefield.

And he had successfully killed three Ninth-Order and dozens of high-order alien leaders. An achievement like this was enough to shake the entire Human Alliance.

"Gao Neng, ten o'clock... a high-order one is trying to escape!" Just then, Fang Tangtang's voice rang out again from the distance.

"Hmph, where do you think you're going?" Gao Neng's eyes narrowed. He shot off in pursuit of the fleeing high-order alien, his gene weapon teleporting continuously through the air beside him.

CRACK!

Soon, a spray of fresh blood splattered into the air.

A Seventh-Order, slain with One Slash!

Gao Neng tightened his grip on the blade in his hand.

At that moment, he felt invincible.

And utterly alone.

...

「Federation Government Building.」

Wu Qingjing walked briskly out of his office.

"Is the plane ready?" Wu Qingjing asked a female secretary in a business suit who was waiting by the door.

"It's been arranged, but Councillor Tang and the others feel... the Northern District Battlefield is still very dangerous. To be safe, would you consider a remote conference, Speaker? They said they could make the trip on their own," the secretary replied immediately.

"Nonsense. Inform all councillors to be in the council chamber within ten minutes. Then, we will all proceed to the Northern District Battlefield!" Wu Qingjing didn't bother explaining to his secretary and gave the order directly.

"All the councillors?!"

"Yes!"

"Right away! I'll go inform them now!"

...

「An hour and a half later.」

The battle on the Northern District Battlefield officially ended.

"Reporting to Commander Dai and Commander Shen, preliminary statistics: our casualties are around twenty-seven thousand. Among them, approximately eight thousand are dead, nineteen thousand are severely wounded. The number of lightly wounded is not included."

"And the enemy's casualties?" Commander Dai asked, taking the report from a soldier. A trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes.

'Over eight thousand dead!'

On top of that, nineteen thousand were severely wounded. In an environment like this, the mortality rate for the severely wounded was also extremely high.

"They're still being tallied. It will probably take another half hour to get the final numbers," the soldier said, shaking his head.

"Alright. Expedite the rescue of the severely wounded! Contact the Federation Government and have them dispatch military doctors at once. Also... where is Councillor Gao?" Commander Dai nodded.

"Councillor Gao and Deputy Division Commander Shen are in Camp Two."

"Mm, understood. Notify all officers at the division level and above to gather in Camp Two in five minutes for an emergency military meeting. If I'm not mistaken... Speaker Wu and the others should be arriving soon, right?" Commander Dai glanced at the bustling figures outside the camp, his heart still heavy with the blood spilled in this war.

'We actually won!'

'The North District has been defended!'

'The lives of twenty thousand civilians have been saved!'

Moreover, they had slain three Ninth-Order aliens, nearly a hundred high-order aliens, and at least a hundred thousand soldiers of the Alien Race Alliance Army. An achievement like this hadn't been seen in a century.

"..."

"Commander Dai? Commander Dai!" As he was lost in thought, a voice startled him back to reality.

"What is it?" Commander Dai turned his head and saw Shen Fei beside him, looking at him with a somewhat surprised expression.

"My apologies, I was spacing out. What is it, Commander Shen?" Commander Dai said apologetically.

"It's nothing. To be honest, I can hardly believe what's happened is real either," Shen Fei said with a smile. His gaze then shifted outside the tent. "Speaker Wu and all the councillors have arrived. Commander Qin and Elder Li are here as well. They're waiting for us in Camp Two now. We should hurry over; we still need to plan our next steps."

"Right!" Commander Dai nodded at once.

The two men walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, heavy snow was still falling.

But not even the snows of the North District could quickly bury the crimson stains on the battlefield. The metallic scent of blood filled the air.

Despite this, the mood in the North District was surprisingly high.

Civilians and soldiers gathered, working together to build new city walls. Armored vehicles moved all around, their RUMBLE RUMBLE echoing endlessly.

It had been a brutal war.

But it was also a war that had reshaped their confidence.

Watching all this, Commander Dai finally set aside his grief. It wasn't because the fallen Warriors were worthless, but because as a commander, he needed to lead his soldiers to look forward.

"Commander Dai!"

"Commander Shen!"

Amid the greetings of the guards, Commander Dai and Shen Fei walked into Camp Two.

The camp tent was spacious.

But since it had been erected, it had never held so many important figures at once.

At the head seats sat Wu Qingjing and the Military Department's Commander-in-Chief, Qin Jianfei, one to the left and one to the right. Below them were councillors like Liang Qi and various officers from the Military Department.

Gao Neng was seated just below Liang Qi.

Shen Ning'Er, meanwhile, sat among the ranks of the Military Department officers.

As for Li Tiannan, he wasn't in one of the main seats. Instead, he sat by himself behind Wu Qingjing and Qin Jianfei.

Commander Dai and Shen Fei entered the tent. They exchanged a glance, said nothing, and quickly took their respective seats.

"Alright, let's cut to the chase and discuss our next plan!" Qin Jianfei glanced at Wu Qingjing and, after receiving a nod, was the first to speak.
