CHAPTER 508: CHAPTER 507 CHAOS

The commander was jolted awake by the voice of his subordinate and immediately reacted.

Yes! You, send someone to find out what’s happening up there. I’m going to the command center at the bow now. Hurry, or it’ll be too late!

After speaking, the commander hastily ran out of the captain’s cabin, heading towards the command center.

This captain was relatively clear-headed, knowing exactly what he should be doing right now.

He is the commander of this United Fleet and must now appear at the command post.

If he continues to daze like this, the entire fleet will suffer enormous losses.

If things develop to that point, even with his strong background, those above might not be able to protect him. Quickly, the captain ran to the command center, which was still a scene of chaos inside.

Because the commander hadn’t appeared, no one stepped up to control the situation.

Everyone, calm down! Look at what you are right now! Do you still want to be a Foreign Army? Back to your posts and report the current situation to me immediately.

As soon as the commander arrived at the command center, he quickly controlled the chaos.

Then he ran to the radio, picked up the microphone, and issued orders to the entire fleet.

All ships listen up! Immediately get into fighting positions, we are under attack, prepare for battle!

The entire fleet recovered from chaos due to his orders.

They began normal preparations, and warriors at various positions quickly got into their battle posts.

Thanks to the commander’s efforts, the fleet finally operated normally, at least it was not as chaotic as before.

Although this commander wasn’t very good at leading troops in battle, he was quite adept at supervising his subordinates.

He’s very familiar with this kind of commanding work; otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached the current 4.0 position.

At this time, Jiang Cheng, floating in the air, noticed that the fleet below had returned to its proper order.

Jiang Cheng also realized that just standing around wasn’t useful, so once again, he used the loudspeakers to shout at the fleet below.

This is the last warning! If the fleet below doesn’t leave the Yan Clan’s sea area, they will face our attack!

Note this is the final warning! You have five minutes to make a choice, either leave the Coral Sea immediately or engage in battle with us right away.

Jiang Cheng made the final ultimatum arrogantly, giving the fleet five minutes.

For those fleets, this was the final warning. If there was no response after one minute, Jiang Cheng would give the order to attack.

Jiang Cheng’s cold voice echoed in the air, reaching everyone’s ears below.

His voice carried no emotion, as if making a proclamation, issuing the final ultimatum to those below.

Jiang Cheng’s words sounded very relaxed, not at all like a pre-battle ultimatum, as if simply making a casual decision.

Anyone who heard Jiang Cheng’s voice would have no doubt about the determination in his words.

Once five minutes passed without them taking action to retreat, these fleets would face attack from Jiang Cheng and his forces.

After hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, cold sweat immediately broke out on the commander’s forehead.

Even now, he didn’t know what exactly the opponent was, only that the opponent had approached their team.

This unknown enemy was the most frightening one, precisely because the unknown brings fear.

The fact that he couldn’t even see the opponent made him anxious, completely unsure how to respond.

Damn it! Have we not found our enemy yet? We still don’t even know who the opponent is! How am I supposed to command this battle?

You bunch of incompetent fools are an embarrassment to the Foreign Army! I really don’t understand how you became Foreign Army staff officers!

The commander loudly scolded his subordinates, and those staff officers hung their heads after being reprimanded.

Today’s incident indeed was a colossal disgrace for them, with the enemy reaching so close.

Even now they couldn’t figure out the enemy’s situation, which for the Fungi People was an unforgivable crime.

Sir! There’s still no target on the radar, and nothing has appeared on the sonar, so we cannot find anything. The enemy seems to be invisible, right among us, but we cannot see them.

At this point, a staff officer stepped forward to explain the current situation to the commander.

After hearing his subordinate’s explanation, the commander’s anger subsided quite a bit, so he asked the staff officer: "What’s your view of the current situation? Even some guesses would do." The staff officer, seeing his superior asking him, shared his thoughts.

Since radar and sonar haven’t detected anything, we can rule out many possibilities. We can eliminate conventional aircraft, ships, and submarines.

Since those conventional armed forces can be ruled out, can we speculate that this time’s enemy is a more special existence, which is why they’re able to approach us so stealthily, undetected by any of the ship’s sensors?

He answered his superior’s question seriously, appearing a bit excited.

This staff officer was usually very low-key, quite a marginal figure.

This was a rare opportunity to show himself in front of his superior, a chance he took very seriously.

He believed that with his performance this time, he would definitely make these commanders remember him.

Once he left an impression in the mind of this influential figure in the Foreign Army, his future prospects would be immensely bright.

After hearing the staff officer’s analysis, the commander furrowed his brow tightly in thought.

What the staff officer said indeed made sense; since conventional enemies could be ruled out,

why not consider some special existences? Maybe that’s how the true nature of the opponent can be uncovered.

But what kind of existence would a special enemy be? Could they be weapons never seen before? Or perhaps some sort of small aircraft?

The commander pondered internally, unable to come to any conclusions after a long while.

Sir! Look up! What are those things in the sky! They must be the enemy this time! The enemy has been right above us all along!

Soon, his train of thought was interrupted as someone beside him made an exclamation.

This staff officer had merely been unable to find something to do and so picked up binoculars to look around randomly.

But when he moved the binoculars above the fleet, he immediately saw something astonishing.

Holding the binoculars and looking at the things in the sky, he loudly alerted everyone to his discovery.
