Arcane Civilization Army High-Level Meeting

This planet is hundreds of times larger than the resource planet previously invaded by the black ants.

The A73 cruiser hovered high in the sky, continuously firing electromagnetic pulse cannons to provide wide-range control for everyone.

The A61 destroyer, on the other hand, was already flying close to the ground without any restraint.

Despite being a small destroyer, it is still a behemoth when you get close, presenting a sight that blots out the sky.

Countless energy rays poured out; although their firepower was much lower than that of a cruiser, they were more concentrated and more efficient at eliminating single targets at close range.

Captain Boren and his two first officers are currently leading their respective teams in combat.

It was only now that Lister witnessed the true strength of his captain.

Despite his unusual appearance, Captain Boren is a true magic-based Class Holder.

He didn't seem to like using a staff when casting spells, nor did he need to chant; countless enormous fireballs poured out at his will.

Lava kept spewing from the scorching ground, precisely searing the Evil Shadow Eye Monster.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Captain Kade was still facing towering, surging waves.

With one captain using water and the other using fire, their clearing efficiency was quite high.

However, in Lister's eyes, the two men's attacks still seemed somewhat indecisive!

Moreover, the attack range and intensity were just so-so; after experiencing it, it wasn't as good as he had expected.

Lister immediately led his troops into the battlefield.

Like a ghost, Flash across various parts of the battlefield.

Moreover, whenever it appeared in a region, all the low-level eye monsters within hundreds of kilometers seemed to be collectively invaded by a virus. After a substantial Killing Intent Wave, they instantly collapsed to the ground and could not get up.

The destroyers overhead seemed to know exactly who the main force was, and at this moment all their firepower was directed towards Lister.

The energy beams were fired precisely at the high-level eye monsters surviving around him.

Truman's voice was always in his ears.

"Captain Lister, coordinates XXX, located 310 kilometers to your left and front..."

Keep giving him the coordinates of dense points, and incidentally clear a path for him.

This cleaning was far more efficient than when the two captains and all the officers were leading the team.

The pressure on the shoulders of the sailors on both ships instantly eased.

Seven or eight hours later, on the other side of the planet, the two ship captains finally reunited with their soldiers. All the eye monsters on the planet had been wiped out.

"Captain, our personnel count is complete. The mortality rate is 2.1%, which meets the standard."

Captain Cohen was remotely reporting the various key data points for the mission from the warship.

To Lister's surprise, the mortality rate was still 2%.

The total number of sergeants who came down with Mingming, including those led by Captain Boren, was only about 400.

This equates to a mortality rate of nearly 10% in actual combat.

He had already cleaned up the battlefield so effectively, and it was a completely winning situation, but it still turned out like this.

No wonder their Landing Operations Department was in such a state before, and even now they dare not deploy too many troops.

As for the destroyer next door, its mortality rate was 4.8%. Although the mortality rate seems higher, most of them died in the initial wave of landing operations.

The cleanup operation following the mother's death actually resulted in very few deaths.

"Captain Lister, thank you for saving me this time! And for helping our A61 complete such a crucial mission!"

Back on the warship, after the debriefing meeting between the two ships, Captain Kade once again expressed his gratitude to him individually via projector.

The wound on his arm appeared to have healed, and he also sent a piece of rare metal as a thank-you gift.

"This is the metal I obtained during a Federation Military District recruitment mission when I was still a captain."

"I only know it's very hard, but I haven't been able to use it all these years. I hope you won't mind."

"Captain Kade! You're welcome!"

I can't say I saved him; I just didn't want him to get in the way, so I kicked him away.

However, Lister accepted the task without any qualms about completing it.

"If you ever have any problems at A73, feel free to contact me anytime!"

Inside the room, Lister carefully examined the rare metal.

With extremely high density, a metal block that is only thirty centimeters long can weigh hundreds of kilograms.

Within its jet-black color, there are small areas that appear to have impurities, with some silver spots.

[Tantalum Dark Alloy (Grade S): An extremely tough alloy capable of absorbing and storing large amounts of energy; suitable for forging.]

Another S-grade forging material; we've had quite a few acquisitions in this area lately.

After putting the metal back into his Inventory, Lister began planning the list of personnel to be allocated the military merits from his department this time.

A few days later, at the headquarters of the Arcane Civilization Army.

In the small conference room, three major generals and more than a dozen colonels sat around each other; this was the true power core of the Arcane Civilization Army.

Of course, the actual number of attendees was more than just these.

Behind the round table, a small group of officers were already standing quietly, waiting for the meeting to begin.

Among them are Captain Boren's backers, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, key personnel in charge of task distribution for the entire military region, and Lieutenant Colonel Kali.

There was also the head of the cadre department of the General Personnel Department, Major Falco, who was bald.

They all stood obediently at the back, without saying a word.

"This is the mission report from destroyer A61."

A deep, magnetic voice broke the silence in the conference room.

The major general at the very front was the first to speak.

Soon, an irregular polyhedral projection appeared out of thin air above the center of the round table.

Every detail of Major Kade's promotion was presented to everyone without omission.

The task descriptions were all normal, except for the information about Lister, which was all marked in red.

"A 12th-tier cultivator killing a 15th-tier cultivator? A mere martial arts Hegemon can achieve this?"

"If I remember correctly, he hasn't evolved three times yet, has he?"

Another young major general, after reading the report, exclaimed in disbelief.

"Lieutenant Colonel Kali, I heard you spoke with Lieutenant Colonel Kade in person?"

"Tell me, what are their specific impressions of Lister after their interactions with Lister?"

As expected, Major Kade has been promoted to lieutenant colonel.

Unfortunately, even after being promoted, he still couldn't enter the core of power within the Arcane Army Group, and he was unable to attend special meetings like this.

"Captain Lister is a traditional swordsman; he's very strong!"

"Its most prominent feature is that most of its attack methods can directly target the soul."

"He's really a promising talent!"

"It's a pity that he was supposed to be quietly nurtured at headquarters, but instead... it's too late to say anything!"

After pressing him with questions out of curiosity, the major general suddenly changed the subject, his gaze involuntarily sweeping over Major Falco who was standing to the side.

After all, Major Lister was the first to receive information about Falco's graduation from recruit training, and it was then directly sent to the A73 warship.

Such a major mismanagement has completely disrupted the headquarters' plans and arrangements.

Falco immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet the young major general's gaze.

"Alright, Morse, that's enough!"

Before the information from the recruit camp was relayed, no one knew there would be such a pleasant surprise, that Overlord Tier talent like Lister would emerge.

"Falco has already been put in solitary confinement, so let's not bring this up again."

The last elderly major general spoke up for Falco, clearly indicating he had powerful backers.

"You've just let it slide with one detention?"

"Major General York, this is Overlord Tier! You know how important he is to our Civilization Army!"

"They're already being watched by the Federation Military District. Are you planning to hand them over again in two years?"

Major General Morse was young and impetuous, and even in a meeting in front of everyone, he showed no respect to the senior officers standing next to him.

Everyone present knew all too well what Overlord Tier powerhouse meant.

I dare not say that I can become the founder of the new fourth-level civilization, but I am more than guaranteed to be a major general, which is already a lifelong dream for many of them.

"Heh! Give it up?"

"You think you can cover it up by keeping it at headquarters?!"

"Aside from those from our Arcane Civilization, which Hegemon would truly be wholeheartedly committed to developing within our army group?"

"If you were in his shoes, would you be happy? Our military region just can't keep its Hegemon!"

The argument between the two major generals silenced the entire meeting room.

In particular, these sharp and to-the-point viewpoints silenced all the colonels present.

The officers standing behind him immediately lowered their heads, clearly unwilling to participate.

"At least I'm thinking of our Arcane Civilization Army, unlike Major General York, who doesn't even dare to try!"

"Are we just going to ignore any future prospects of a future Overlord Tier in the military region? What if..."

"There's no 'what if'!"

Major General York interrupted Major General Morse's speech directly and then spoke again in a deep voice.

"If you're heading in the wrong direction, even the best starting point is meaningless."

Instead of trying to force them to stay, it's better to truly invest in them!
