"Deputy Commander Gu, this mission can't be underestimated. The Silver Blood Gods were originally a kind of creature known as the Silver Nematode Worm. They joined the Desolate God race in ancient times and only joined the Divine Realm with their help.
"They're a notorious worm in the universe. It's very troublesome to kill them, so we need to give the Divine Soldiers targeted training."
Zhao Fu's suggestion broke Gu Chen's train of thought.
"Alright, I'll have to trouble Elder Zhao with this," Gu Chen said politely.
"No need to be so polite, Deputy Commander. This is my duty." Zhao Fu hurriedly waved his hand, but inwardly, he was very pleased.
He had originally thought that a young and successful person like Gu Chen would be a little arrogant and not know how to respect the elderly and wise. But in reality, after several interactions, he had discovered that Gu Chen was polite and had the air of a Confucian general. He was much better than the original Ren Zhongfei.
As Gu Chen was discussing with his people, the other two deputy commanders walked over with their subordinates.
"Is there something I can help you with?"
Gu Chen looked at Fang Henian and Chang Da, who were in the lead, and spoke calmly.
Long Yun's gaze passed through the two and landed on Ren Zhongfei behind Fang Henian.
After being demoted, Ren Zhongfei had become Fang Henian's chiliarch. As the most senior person in the Battle Wolf Army, Fang Henian was the representative of the conservative faction.
As for the other deputy commander, Chang Da, he was a boorish man with a simple mind. He basically did whatever Fang Henian said.
Thus, when the two sides met, the atmosphere immediately became a little tense.
"Deputy Commander Gu, I'm sure you understand the special nature of this mission. It's very dangerous."
Fang Henian glanced at Zhao Fu next to Gu Chen and paused. "Thus, the Old Man suggests that our two sides temporarily put aside our prejudices and hostility and work together. Don't let our limited combat power be divided and cause internal strife that could ruin the grand plan."
Gu Chen couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this.
Over the past few days, the conflict between the old and new factions had caused quite a ruckus. However, he didn't care about it at all. He hadn't expected Fang Henian to care so much.
Only when there was a mountain in one's heart could one see the mountain. Fang Henian's words were proof that he cared deeply about the struggle for power with Gu Chen.
However, the fact that he was able to say such words showed that he was still a person who placed the overall situation above everything else. Thus, Gu Chen did not explain that he had no intention of fighting for fame and fortune. He simply nodded. "Vice Commander Fang is right. That's exactly what I was thinking."
"Deputy Commander Gu is indeed sensible. Zhong Fei, come out."
Fang Henian smiled and called Ren Zhongfei out.
Ren Zhongfei walked out of the crowd with an ugly expression, his face alternating between red and green as he looked at Long Yun and stretched out a hand.
"Long Yun, what happened before was my fault. I apologize to you! Now that I've lost to you and received my punishment, in order to not affect the mission, how about we write off all the debts between us? "
He had obviously been forced to apologize by Fang Henian, and he was completely unwilling.
Gu Chen looked at Long Yun and saw him walk out with a calm expression. He shook hands lightly with Ren Zhongfei and spoke casually. "Alright."
The two of them let go of each other as soon as their hands touched. This reconciliation was more of a superficial effort, but Fang Henian was very satisfied with it.
"Very good. This way, everyone can be united. I hope we can successfully take down Silver Worm Planet and not lose too many of our brothers."
"Deputy Commander Gu, since the matter has been resolved, we'll be leaving first. Time is of the essence, and there are still many things to be done."
Fang Henian smiled and left after saying this.
The other deputy commander, Chang Da, followed behind him. When he passed by Gu Chen, he snorted coldly.
"Although I won't trip you up, I won't acknowledge you. You're a brat who hasn't even carried out a single mission!"
"It's not that easy to be a deputy commander. You'll follow this mission and learn well from the side!"
He left after saying this. These words infuriated the chiliarchs under Gu Chen's command. They wanted to argue, but Gu Chen cut them off indifferently.
"Let's go and do what we need to do. We don't have much time!"
…
The next day, the thirty thousand celestial soldiers assembled according to the set time and set off!
Within a day, with the help of Zhao Fu and the others, the ten thousand celestial soldiers under Gu Chen had a basic understanding of the nature of the mission and how to kill the Silver Nematodes.
However, this required time to train, so everyone decided to race against time to carry out special training along the way.
The thirty thousand celestial soldiers boarded a total of ten spaceships and quickly flew away from Battle Wolf Planet, heading for the Waste Region where Silver Worm Planet was located.
"The Waste Region is located in the central area of the Milky Way, covering dozens of star passages. Interstellar trade is very prosperous there, so if we want to approach without being noticed, we can only pass through large nebulae!"
On the main warship, Xu Yan and the three deputy commanders gathered together to discuss the route of the march.
Silver Worm Planet itself was not weak, and it was one of the satellites on the periphery of the Waste Region. So if it was attacked, reinforcements would quickly appear.
If the Battle Wolf Celestial Army wanted to annihilate them, they had to catch them off guard. Otherwise, if they knew that a large army was approaching, not only would the casualty rate reach an unimaginable level, but they might even be annihilated.
Therefore, the star passages that were prosperous for interstellar trade could not be taken. They had to find another way!
The method that Xu Yan came up with was to pass through the nebulae. Because there was a large amount of floating star sand there, accidents could easily happen to spaceships if they entered. Therefore, very few people went there, and it was easy to be hidden.
After Xu Yan finished explaining the plan, the three deputy commanders stared at the star map, thinking about whether this plan was feasible.
The Milky Way Star Region was named after the Milky Way, which itself was a place where large nebulae gathered, and countless star sand surged within.
The Waste Region's starry sky was very ingenious. It happened to be located in the central area of the Milky Way. Apart from dozens of star passages that led to it, the rest were surrounded by nebulae, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Silver Worm Planet was on one of the star passages on the periphery, and it happened to block the passage. It was no wonder that it was the Desolate God Tribe's satellite.
Gu Chen looked at the star map, his eyes unconsciously becoming solemn.
What did the Ancient Heaven want to do? Destroy Silver Worm Planet, could it be to open a path to the Waste Region?
The Warwolf Celestial Army was just an unremarkable army in the entire Ancient Heaven. He had no way of knowing the intentions of the upper echelons of the Ancient Heaven, but his intuition told him that something big was about to happen, and they were just an unremarkable chess piece.
"According to the route that you drew, commander, we can indeed launch a surprise attack on Silver Worm Planet. However, passing through a region full of star sand will take up a lot of time. Our superiors gave us a few days. Will we make it in time?"
Fang Henian said after examining the route.
"In ten days, Silver Worm Planet will fall, and if we follow this route, we will have to spend nine days on the road."
Xu Yan had already calculated this long ago, and now he spoke.
"Doesn't that mean that we only have one day left to attack? Isn't the time too tight?" Chang Da's eyes widened.
"I'm afraid we won't even have a day. The situation in the nebulae is complicated, and the star sand's movement is irregular. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to make it in time! "
