Chapter 955: What Urgent Matter Could Be More Important Than What I Have on Hand?

"Outrageous!"

Inside Zhanghai City, General Qian Hailong of the Southeast Military Headquarters smashed his desk to pieces.

Every soldier in the Southeast Military Headquarters building could hear Qian Hailong's roar.

Some soldiers, caught off guard, were even startled.

One soldier whispered, "What's going on? General Qian looks really angry!"

Another replied, "No idea. Deputy Captain An Hang just went into General Qian's office—probably bad news? Deputy Captain An looked pretty urgent to me!"

"I never expected—it's the Island Nation!" Inside the office, Qian Hailong said through gritted teeth. "Damned Island Nation. After a few hundred years out of sight, I nearly forgot about them. Who'd have thought they'd pop up again. The sea beasts were that fierce—how come they weren't wiped out?"

"They already have been wiped out!"

Qian Hailong said in surprise, "What do you mean?"

An Hang caught his breath and told Qian Hailong the intelligence Su Yang had obtained from Upper Village's mind.

Over those ten days, he had raced back to Zhanghai City with everything he had, barely resting at all!

After hearing this, Qian Hailong said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Well, they had it coming!"

"Mm!"

An Hang nodded as well.

"But what's the deal with Su Yang? Weren't we supposed to stick to the plan?"

"Su Yang is just young, a bit impulsive." An Hang kept speaking up for Su Yang. "He probably couldn't bring himself to use the tens of thousands of civilians in Nangang City as bargaining chips. After all, not everyone can be that rational!"

"Su Yang's battle record… is it confirmed?"

Qian Hailong didn't say anything about continuing to hold Su Yang accountable; instead, he changed the subject.

"It's confirmed. I've already sent people to interrogate Island Nation prisoners—some of them speak Huaxia. In Su Yang's battle, he faced nearly thirty-plus King-rank Beast Tamers from the Island Nation!"

Qian Hailong sucked in a cold breath. "And the result… he actually won?"

"To be precise, he didn't win, but he still forced the Island Nation to retreat, killed hundreds of thousands of them, and over ten King-rank Beast Tamers!" An Hang said in a low voice. "Su Yang isn't just strong—his spatial-type pet beast is terrifying. The Island Nation's King-rank Beast Tamers simply couldn't pin him down, and he ambushed and killed many King-rank powerhouses… And after that battle, Su Yang has already advanced to become a King-rank Beast Tamer!"

Su Yang had always had the strength to kill King-rank powerhouses—the entire Southeast knew that!

Qian Hailong murmured, "King-rank! An eighteen-year-old King-rank Beast Tamer!"

An Hang added, "Not even eighteen yet!"

"I know, I know!"

Qian Hailong didn't know how to put his feelings into words—Su Yang's breakthrough was simply too shocking.

Su Yang was not only young, but every pet beast he wielded was extraordinarily powerful, capable of fighting above its rank. Qian Hailong could almost see his future!

"The Island Nation built their cities on the Chongxuan Sea Giant Turtles. Although mobility is strong, the civilians are concentrated in a small area. In the end, they were afraid Su Yang would strike at their civilians regardless of cost, so they retreated!" An Hang said. "Su Yang said he disrupted the plan, so he should be responsible to the end, and that's why he went after them."

Qian Hailong sighed, "Su Yang is smart, responsible, capable, and has a fearsome combat talent… it's just that his heart is too soft and his temper is a bit hot-headed!"

"General Qian, no one is perfect. Su Yang is already outstanding. At his age, I was still a green recruit, but Su Yang now can already be considered a veteran!"

"I know that!" Qian Hailong said, a bit headache. "But it's hard to explain things to the General Headquarters… The situation now is that Su Yang did indeed disrupt the entire strategic layout."

"The Federal General Headquarters—Su Yang didn't have time to notify them!"

"That's even worse!" Qian Hailong said. "The situation has changed now. Although Su Yang has temporarily repelled the Island Nation's attack, as long as the Island Nation exists, they remain a major threat. Their strength is extremely formidable—destroying Shuizhou City and Pohai City is a declaration of war against our Huaxia Federation!"

"Mm!"

An Hang nodded seriously.

This was already a declaration of war.

Although they didn't want war with the Island Nation, the matter was started by them, and the Huaxia Federation couldn't back down!

"I reckon the General Headquarters definitely won't back down either. Considering the big picture, backing down would only make others think you're weak and easy to bully, and only embolden the enemy to push further!" Qian Hailong said in a heavy tone. "The Island Nation has at least twenty-plus King-rank powerhouses. It's possible every expert across the entire Federation will be mobilized."

"Indeed!"

"Sigh! These really are troubled times!"

"Mm!"

Qian Hailong lowered his head and said, "Honestly, I don't want war. War means death. Precious combat power shouldn't be wasted fighting the Island Nation… It's just that they've gone too far in bullying us!"

An Hang understood Qian Hailong's thoughts perfectly well.

No one wants to go to war with a neighboring country!

For these three hundred years, the Huaxia Federation's strategic policy has never changed.

Everything for survival!

In this world, merely surviving is already extremely difficult.

Who still wants war?

Every King-rank powerhouse was once a supreme genius—one born only among millions!

Losing any one of them weakens the Huaxia Federation's power to resist fierce beasts, maintain stability, and protect civilians!

Losing any one of them would make every military headquarters ache to the bone and hold a grudge for years.

And the Island Nation has twenty-plus King-rank powerhouses!

To deal with them, the Huaxia Federation would also have to pay a terrible price!

Just then, there was a knock on the door of Qian Hailong's office!

"What is it?"

Qian Hailong's tone was not good at all, carrying anger.

After all, they were currently discussing a major matter concerning war between nations!

The opponent was still the extremely powerful Island Nation!

"General Qian, City Lord Su is here. He says he has an urgent matter and needs to see you!"

Qian Hailong frowned and said impatiently, "What urgent matter could be more important than what I have on hand? Tell him to wait outside!"

Su Yang, standing at the doorway of Qian Hailong's office, rubbed his nose awkwardly at Qian Hailong's words.

Sovereign Jiazi, meanwhile, stood quietly behind him, head lowered, silent.

Qian Hailong's adjutant looked at Su Yang with a helpless expression; Su Yang smiled and said, "It's fine, I can wait!"

"Then come sit in my office for a while!" Qian Hailong's adjutant said with a smile. "It's a bit more comfortable there!"

"Then I'll trouble you!"

"No trouble at all!"

Qian Hailong's adjutant said cheerfully.

The adjutant led Su Yang and Sovereign Jiazi toward his own office, and stole a casual glance at Sovereign Jiazi following behind Su Yang.

He hadn't expected Su Yang to bring another Miss along this time.

This Miss was devastatingly beautiful — right up there with Liu Mengyun!

Wouldn't the Mengyunbu Society get jealous?

The adjutant couldn't help but picture the scene of Su Yang's backyard going up in flames.

Hearing the receding footsteps, Qian Hailong rubbed his temples and said, "Looks like I'm really getting old — why do I feel like I just heard that kid Su Yang's voice?"

An Hang said softly, "General… I think I heard it too!"

Both men's gazes snapped instantly toward the office doorway!
