Quickly, along with the massive expenditure of Tang Feifei''s spiritual power, one piece of firefighting equipment after another was summoned by her!

    The strength of a Third Order Cataclysmic was terrifying to begin with, as both their spiritual power and vitality far exceeded that of ordinary humans, so, in no time, the lakeside of Moonlight Lake was filled with hundreds of pieces of firefighting equipment.

    Seeing this scene, the soldiers and detectives from the four forces were all a bit dumbfounded.

    Clearly, they who had been ready to flee just moments ago, found themselves caught off guard by this sudden change.

    Moreover, Tang Feifei claimed she had already informed all the chiefs of the three major departments and now could restrain and command them, which they also found a bit hard to believe.

    After all... the right to command wasn''t something you could take over just by saying so.

    At the very least, you''d have to show a token or verify the orders, which was the normal protocol, wasn''t it?

    But the problem was... the situation was really too urgent, the fire was spreading incessantly with the help of the south wind, and it looked like it was about to come their way very soon.

    If they were to make a call to confirm now, they estimated that by the time the call connected and the message was confirmed, all the people present would have already been engulfed in flames.

    However... blindly obeying orders from other department chiefs was a big taboo. A single mishandling could lead to problems, or even disgust from their own chiefs.

    Thus, the several high-ranking officials present were also somewhat hesitant to decide at the moment.

    But Tang Feifei, seeing this scene, seemed as if she had anticipated it all along.

    Her eyes narrowed, like a female leopard, she swept her dangerous gaze over all the high-ranking officials present, and then, with the presence of a Third Order Cataclysmic bursting forth, she coldly shouted, "Who dares defy orders! Don''t blame me for decapitating you on the spot!" Sёarch* The Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Upon hearing Tang Feifei''s thinly veiled threat of death and feeling the terrifying aura emanating from her,

    the complexions of the high-ranking officials present changed involuntarily.

    Desperate times call for desperate measures. In such a critical moment, Tang Feifei might truly strike to kill and assert her authority!

    Under the threat of death, their inner scales began to slowly tilt.

    And it was at this moment that Tang Feifei spoke again. She gazed coldly over all the high-ranking officials present, then said, "I know what you are worried about."

    "So now I won''t command you. I''m just providing the firefighting tools; it''s up to you to decide whether to retreat or stay and protect Moonlight Lake," she said.

    Hearing Tang Feifei''s words, the eyes of the high-ranking officials of the three major forces lit up.

    Those who could climb to high positions all had their tricks. They wouldn''t really take Tang Feifei''s suggestion of "option to retreat" seriously, but this pretext indeed provided them with a face-saving cover.

    If they were criticized in the future for following Tang Feifei''s orders, they could straightforwardly claim: They didn''t follow Tang Feifei''s orders, but decided on their own to put out the fire and save Moonlight Lake!

    Thinking this way, the three major forces no longer hesitated and joined the firefighting ranks en masse.

    Between the two cities and four departments, there were about a thousand or two thousand people by the shores of Moonlight Lake. Once all of them started moving in an orderly fashion, it wasn''t long before several large firebreaks were created around the lake!

    And at this time, the fire dragon, propelled by the wind, finally reached near Moonlight Lake.

    But... because of the firebreaks, it was like a rootless duckweed, unable to cross at all!

    So, it "had to" change direction and burned through the surrounding dry trees and leaves instead!

    In this way, the forest fire burned for a good three to four hours, burning all the dead leaves and dry trees in Moonlight Forest before gradually coming to an end.

    This was because Moonlight Forest was not very large, and it was not connected with the surrounding underbrush and clusters of trees...

    Otherwise, in the late autumn season, a forest fire could easily spread to the entire mountain range, burning for days and nights...

    Meanwhile, on the southern side of Moonlight Forest,

    Qiu Tu, dressed in a smart black uniform, squinted and smoked a cigarette while he also observed the bare Moonlight Forest.

    And behind him were teams of detectives from the Political Department''s Action Division, led by his twenty trusted subordinates.

    Now, both Ding Xiaoliu and Zhu Huoyan had become First Level Detectives, each leading a team of 10-15 detectives.

    So, with a casual command from Qiu Tu, he could effortlessly muster a force of two to three hundred men, which was indeed strong and robust.

    With the protection of these loyal guards, coupled with Qiu Tu''s rank among the top twelve in the Investigation Bureau and his influence, in Lin Ting''s absence, he easily took control of the Special Service Department troops stationed in Moonlight Forest.

    It was with these two forces that Qiu Tu rounded up the United Front elites who had set the fire and attempted to flee, capturing them all in one fell swoop!

    The whole battle didn''t last long and the casualties were minimal. With only three seriously injured and a dozen lightly wounded, they killed thirteen United Front soldiers and captured the remaining eighteen!

    At that moment, while Qiu Tu was observing the fire situation, several of his Interrogation Section subordinates, who had pledged allegiance to him in the past two days, were also working overtime in the camp, interrogating the captured United Front elites, trying to extract key intelligence from their mouths as much as possible.

    The nights of late autumn were getting colder and colder.

    Possibly concerned about Qiu Tu getting cold, Tan Huimin came over and draped a long black coat over him.

    The black coat matched the uniform, adding an even more imposing air to Qiu Tu.

    Tan Huimin had witnessed almost the entire operation that evening. Even though she was not interested in such conspiracies, calculations, or military operations, the dizzying pace of change was still somewhat astonishing to her.

    So, after she draped the coat over Qiu Tu, she didn''t step back but stood behind him, half a step behind his position, and asked softly, "Chief... how did you come up with the entire plan tonight?"
