Chapter 1384 698: Fame Across the Four Seas, Tomorrow's General Commander
The world has changed too quickly, so fast that everyone can't keep up.
Thousand Islands, known for its slow pace and sluggish changes, has turned pitch-black for everyone's vision in just a few weeks.
The Old Alliance Leader is dead, and the Family Head of the Chopra family followed suit. Though they openly and secretly struggled for so long, in the end, it seems as if they died for love, following each other in life and death, truly a tale of hatred and passion, causing those unaware to sigh that they're just a pair of star-crossed lovers.
The turbulent wind hadn't started yet, but the unseen storm had already shrouded the Seven Cities and Seven Islands.
This alliance, formed due to the Federation's strong pressure, faced unprecedented turmoil, preparing for battle, constant friction, everyone eyeing the Alliance Leader position, while secretly on guard...like sneaking into a haunted house in the dead of night, no one knows when something big will suddenly happen.
And then, suddenly, something big happened!
It came so fast that everyone was caught off guard, so quick that no one could react.
Half an hour ago, everyone just received the alert of the Seven Cities Defense Fleet's solo action, and half an hour later, they witnessed the epic heist of Seven Cities Defense on television!
With nothing but some broken uniforms, they completely annihilated the Venom Fleet that was raging in the East Sea, killing countless bandits, their battle achievements were remarkable.
In the live broadcast, Fleet Commander Minkler stood proudly in front of reporters, listing the endless evils and uncountable crimes of the Venom Fleet, while showing the tragic state of the rescued victims, lamenting that if he had come earlier, everyone wouldn't have suffered such a misfortune...
Talking about the results of this battle, Minkler displayed great humility, not taking any credit, repeatedly waving his hand, saying: it's all due to the Seven Cities Council's farsightedness, proper command, soldiers following orders, fearless in battle, while he just made a negligible small contribution.
However, while waving his hand, he inadvertently revealed his Family Master Ring.
During interviews with the soldiers, everyone on the fleet gave high praise and reverence to this newly appointed commander.
Expert in the art of command, sharp perception, astounding decisiveness, unparalleled War God, a commander who loves his soldiers like his own children, a respected leader, a good elder brother everyone follows to the death, a Rear Admiral whose kindness is endless...
Their spirited, impassioned demeanor compared to their former decadent, lazy, lifeless appearance makes one doubt their own eyes and mind.
Numerous related reports, news, and information came like a storm, from news website headlines and columns to continuous pushes and guides on short video platforms...like layers of gold paint on a mud-plastered wooden fetus, sending this formerly unnoticed bottom-ranked commander onto a new divine pedestal.
Eight hundred victories over ten thousand, a rifle shooting satellites, soon punching the Federation and kicking the Empire.
For a moment, not to mention the uninformed citizens, even those who knew what kind of person Minkler was couldn't help but glance towards the Seven Cities Council on Pu Island, unable to hide their confusion...
— You bunch of insects, ask yourselves conscientiously, have you delayed the young man for so many years?
Otherwise, how could a War God only be entrusted with responsibilities and show their talents at this point? It must be the disgusting political suppression, the jealousy of the capable, and the relentless factional strife that delayed a genius like Minkler to finally emerge.
In short videos, those with inside information have stated: It's said that an admiral in the Empire's Seven Star Building was so shocked upon hearing this battle result that they exclaimed: A soldier like Minkler is worth an entire Leviathan Fleet alone!
In less than half a day, this act of exterminating bandits and rescuing civilians has spread through the media's pushing in the East Sea, known widely, with everyone applauding.
There are doubts or mockery towards the Seven Cities Defense for opportunistically exploiting the situation, but seeing Renut hung on the bow of the ship drooling, crying to death in the news live broadcast, people are speechless.
Irrefutable evidence!
The Venom Fleet, completely wiped out.
From top to bottom, not even a dog managed to escape!
Even the flagship Ivory, acting as their facade, was reduced to a half, dragged behind the fleet, parading for display, deterring bandits. The once mighty Empire retired warship now looks like it was chewed by dogs, unbearably tragic.
This great victory, combined with previous achievements in washing away blood and capturing bandit leaders, turning the cigarette-smoking, alcohol-drinking, hair-styled Minkler into a General Commander rising like a star.
Compared to the joyful atmosphere of the Seven Cities, the eerie silence of the Seven Cities Council in Pu City becomes even more intriguing.
The news came in the afternoon, the meeting was held in the evening, representatives from the seven families sat in front of the same table with various expressions.
"This has been Minkler acting independently!"
The representative from the Chopra family, pale-faced, argued amidst many suggestive glances: "The Family Head has just passed away, everything in the family is in chaos, who could have thought that Minkler would go insane silently, we were all unaware!"
"Why be modest, Mr. Chopra?"
Encomienda from Xi Island smiled and praised: "The Federation has an old saying, thirty years East of the River, thirty years West of the River, do not underestimate the young deprived of wealth. When silent then sudden, showing astounding talent, young and capable!"
