Chapter 749

As Lu En pondered.

The group of navy officers before him bowed their heads, whispering to each other in hushed tones.

"¨‖You guys say…"

"Just who is this General Lu En? How could a child of only five years old become a Navy Headquarters General? This is an unprecedented, earth-shattering feat."

Someone asked.

At that moment,

One navy officer frowned deeply and spoke weakly: "For some reason, I always feel General Lu En's name sounds familiar to me."

"It's as if…"

"I've heard this name somewhere before."

"But right now, I simply can't recall where."

Nearby,

Hearing those words, another navy officer raised an eyebrow and said: "Now that you mention it, I also get the feeling this name sounds familiar."

Instantly,

A group of navy officers fell into deep thought.

In fact,

They all felt it to some degree.

The name Lu En was not entirely unfamiliar to them.

It was as if they had all heard it before.

After a long pause,

One navy officer's pupils shrank, his throat dry, and he involuntarily cried out: "I remember! I finally know why General Lu En's name sounds so familiar!"

"Why?"

Everyone felt confused.

"Actually, you've all heard of General Lu En's legendary reputation!"

He took a deep breath and replied.

Then,

One by one, the navy officers' eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation, and they asked: "Then who exactly is he?"

Under the gaze of all present,

The navy officer's lips trembled slightly, and he blurted out the truth.

"General Lu En is the strongest genius in Navy history! The most terrifying monster of the seas! The most fearsome prodigy ever recorded!"

"Recognized publicly by Navy high command as…"

"The future standard-bearer of the Navy!"

With those words spoken,

The entire scene fell silent.

Hisss—

The group of navy officers involuntarily drew in a sharp breath.

Their hearts trembled violently.

The navy officer's words still echoed endlessly in their ears.

Like thunder rolling,

Humming persistently around them.

Impossible to forget.

The shock in their hearts was equally hard to suppress.

"The strongest genius in Navy history?"

"Indeed…"

"After all, a Navy Headquarters General at just five years old!"

"Such talent and potential is simply astonishing."

The group of navy officers were shaken to their core.

Someone still harbored doubt: "Is it really enough to be deemed the future standard-bearer of the Navy just because of this astonishing talent? Isn't that too hasty?"

At that moment,

Lu En paid no further attention to the whispering navy officers.

He directly ordered Colonel Ta Li before him: "Deal with that group of bandits—about eight hundred of them. They're yours to handle."

"Try to imprison them all…"

"Right now, they're all tied up on the garbage mountain thirty kilometers east of Windmill Village. Someone is guarding them there; you just need to go to the garbage mountain to take over their custody."

The reason this group of navy officers came to Windmill Village, in Lu En's view,

Was clearly to deal with that group of bandits.

Such tedious matters, he naturally wouldn't handle himself.

Entrusting them to the navy officers before him was perfect.

"Can you handle it?"

Lu En asked.

"Mission assured!"

Colonel Ta Li, face full of solemnity, saluted.

Lu En personally assigned the task; he naturally dared not neglect or underestimate it.

Compared to this group of navy personnel present…

He understood better than anyone else the terror of Lu En, who was merely five years old.

"Alright, handle this matter yourselves."

"If there's nothing else…"

"Don't linger too long in Windmill Village; it disrupts the villagers' daily lives."

Lu En waved his hand.

Every time Captain Kapu returned to Windmill Village, he came ashore alone.

What was feared was too many navy personnel entering at once and disrupting Windmill Village's original order.

Precisely for this reason,

Lu En did not wish so many navy personnel to remain in Windmill Village.

"Yes, General Lu En."

"I will surely follow your orders, apprehend that band of arrogant bandits, and imprison them all."

Before Lu En, Colonel Ta Li had always shown great respect.

The navy had strict hierarchies.

As a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Lu En held a prestigious status far above Colonel Ta Li's by several levels.

Just this alone was enough to make Colonel Ta Li revere Lu En deeply.

Moreover…

Colonel Ta Li also knew Lu En's true identity perfectly well.

The more he understood,

the more respectful and worshipful he became toward Lu En.

(cjdf) Moments later,

After finishing his instructions, Lu En turned and left.

Watching Lu En's retreating figure, Colonel Ta Li instinctively raised a hand to wipe the faint sweat from his forehead, then involuntarily exhaled deeply, as if a great burden had been lifted.

"Before that one…"

"The pressure is simply too overwhelming."

"No wonder he's the strongest genius in navy history!"
