Chapter 564

Aside from being young, they held low ranks and were not from the Western Military Department.

The emergency meeting on Fushoushen Sect concerns the entire western front.

Logically, they had no right to attend—not even to observe.

Su Yang followed Zhou Wanshan toward the corner of the meeting room when He Gang called out to him.

"Lieutenant Su, sit here!"

He Gang pointed to the chair behind him.

That chair sat against the wall, beside a small table—it had been the deputy's seat.

Now, He Gang's several deputies were under isolation and investigation.

"Oh!"

He Gang smiled: "Let me introduce you: Su Yang, captain of the 13th Squad, Emergency Unit, from the Southwest Military Department. Without him, you'd now be preparing for my funeral!"

He Gang spoke casually.

After all, he was a veteran who had fought on battlefields for years.

As long as he wasn't dead, he had to keep performing his duties.

The seven high-ranking military command members nodded at Su Yang.

They already knew about this.

"Lieutenant Su is outstanding—the most exceptional young talent I've ever seen. In just one day, he eradicated Fushoushen Sect's secret base in Yilan City and uncovered Wang Qianming, a high-level spy!" He Gang said slowly. "Without him, we still wouldn't know how deeply our war plans had been compromised!"

"Ding~ Congratulations, host! You've uncovered the highest-ranking Fushoushen Sect spy embedded in the Western Military Department, caused the Western Military Department to learn of the leak and implement countermeasures, earned unanimous approval from all high-ranking officials, and made a tremendous contribution to the success of the large-scale military operation. If the Western Military Department ultimately prevails, your mission evaluation will be rated: Good+!"

"Good+"?

Su Yang guessed this "Good+" would ultimately still be downgraded to "Good."

After all, it still hadn't reached the "Excellent" standard!

But at least his mission progress had been significantly advanced.

Liu Mengyun sat properly in the corner of the meeting room, watching Su Yang standing beside He Gang.

She knew she was here today, sitting with the Western Military Department's high-ranking officials, solely because of Su Yang's influence.

She was just an afterthought.

After introducing Su Yang, He Gang continued: "Lieutenant Su, show them what intelligence Wang Qianming leaked!"

"Alright!"

Su Yang summoned the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly: "Don't resist—you'll see it in the Illusory Realm."

The Western Military Department soon saw a pen sketching across a map of the west, writing the designations of the seven Emergency Squads.

Then came rapid flashes of personal intelligence on Starlight-ranked Beast Tamer.

When they saw those personal files, two of the high-ranking officials' faces darkened…

Because their own intelligence was in there!

Next came the final reports on the two King-ranked Beast Tamers.

Bi Sheng, commander of the Emergency Unit, also grew grim—the intelligence included one of them: Deputy Commander Peng Xiangming.

Peng Xiangming had already led his unit out over ten days ago!

If the enemy knew their marching routes, attack targets, and beast data, that wouldn't be a joke.

These seven Emergency Squads and the Special Operations Team members were the Western Military Department's elite core!

If they were wiped out or suffered heavy losses, it would cripple the entire Western Military Department's strategic position.

Even if we eventually crushed Fushoushen Sect within our borders, the Western Military Department would be severely weakened.

That was absolutely not what they wanted to see.

The Western Military Department wanted to minimize casualties!

To save time, the Illusory Butterfly projected the images in fast-forward.

Everyone present was a master—none feared they'd miss details.

Five minutes later, everyone exhaled softly.

"You all saw it, right?" He Gang said. "We must immediately revise our plan and notify those seven Emergency Squads before Fushoushen Sect does—otherwise, we'll suffer heavy losses. I don't believe Fushoushen Sect won't exploit this intelligence fully!"

For the next twenty minutes, He Gang and the many high-ranking officials discussed how to revise the plan.

Su Yang sat behind He Gang, his mind wandering.

"Now comes the biggest problem: who do we send to notify these seven squads?" He Gang murmured. "Most of the seven Emergency Squads are composed of Gold-ranked Beast Tamers, and they're numerous. If Fushoushen Sect knows their routes, they're highly likely to be discovered!"

One high-ranking official whispered: "We'd need at least Starlight peak or King-ranked Beast Tamers, right?"

"But the problem is, our main forces have all been deployed!" another said helplessly. "Even sending Starlight or King-ranked Beast Tamers isn't safe—we need someone with aerial reconnaissance capability, and we must find them before Fushoushen Sect spots them."

"We don't seem to have that many masters left!"

"…"

For this operation against Fushoushen Sect, the Western Military Department's elite had nearly all been sent out.

Twelve of the fifteen Emergency Units were dispatched to confront Fushoushen Sect.

Most of the high-ranking military officials had also left with their Starlight-ranked Beast Tamers.

Now, most in this room were deputies, with only two Starlight peak experts present.

There were still four King-ranked Beast Tamers in Yilan City.

One was General He Gang, one was Emergency Unit Commander Bi Sheng, one was Tao Sheng, and the last was too old and frail to undertake any mission.

The seven compromised Emergency Squads were not fully scattered—they formed four groups.

We need to send four Starlight peak or King-ranked Beast Tamers, preferably with reconnaissance abilities.

Such masters are either already deployed or cannot be moved…

Like Deputy Team Leader Peng Xiangming of the Emergency Response Unit, who led the group with three emergency squads.

He Gang must remain stationed in Yilan City and cannot leave lightly unless it's a matter of life and death.

Bi Sheng is the Team Leader of the Emergency Response Unit; he has only three emergency squads left and must be ready to support other cities at any time.

Many turned their gazes toward Tao Sheng.

Just then, Su Yang's voice came from behind He Gang: "General He, count me in on this mission!"
