Chapter 547: Chapter 273 Military Big Shot_1

As Long Dangdang entered the central military tent, the first thing he felt was an aura of solemnity, as if an invisible oppressive force permeated the air. There were no soldiers guarding the inside of the tent, only about ten people standing in front of a large map affixed to the left wall, the clear markings showing the location of Blessed Sun City and the Federation’s Legion encampment as well as several areas marked in purple, presumably the regions where wraith entities resided.

Long Dangdang’s spiritual power was strong. With just one glance, he had an approximate understanding of the positions of these areas. Among them, the areas indicated on the map where wraith entities resided seemed to be more widespread than the areas they initially intended to investigate.

The group huddled around the map seemed to be oblivious to their arrival, engrossed in some discussion. From a distance, Long Dangdang could feel the powerful auras emanating from these individuals.

If Long Dangdang’s spiritual power fluctuation could be likened to the shimmering of stars, then the auras of these people were like radiant suns. Their robust presence indeed nullified the need for any soldiers on guard.

Among them, a particularly potent aura existed in the centre. The moment Long Dangdang attempted to gauge it, he felt as if his consciousness was being melted, immediately making him withdraw his sensing spiritual power. The intensity of this spiritual prowess stunned him.

"Commander, I’ve brought the person," Yann Xingci said, leading Long Dangdang towards the group naturally.

Only at this point did everyone shift their gaze from the map. The first impression Long Dangdang got from these middle-aged people was longevity. There was one figure, however, exuding a youthful presence, and to his surprise, it was an exceptionally attractive young woman.

The young woman was dressed in a silver-white light armor, her long hair up in a high ponytail. She stood tall and slim, roughly 1.75m in height with a pair of particularly conspicuous long legs. She appeared to be around 24 or 25 years old, but her aura was perceptibly strong.

However, the most captivating was the middle-aged man whose aura had almost shut down Long Dangdang’s spiritual sensing. He was tall and robust, almost two meters in height, his facial features not exactly handsome but archaic, his eyes serene yet deep enough to send chills down one’s spine, conveying a sense of cosmic infinity. He was attired in simple moon-white garments, but amongst the crowd of powerhouses, he stood out like a moon amidst the stars. His jet-black short hair stood erect like steel needles. If Long Dangdang were to describe him, perhaps the words "majestic as a mountain" would fit best.

Yann Xingci led Long Dangdang forward, slightly bent in a mage’s salute. As he wasn’t a military man, he didn’t need to salute in the military manner.

Long Dangdang promptly performed a knight’s salute, striking his right fist across his chest.

Upon hearing Yann Xingci address the man as ’Commander,’ Long Dangdang recognized him from Ling Menglo’s information briefings. The Supreme Commander of the Federation Legion in the current campaign hails from the Knights Temple, one of the Six Grand Temples of the Knight’s Temple, and one of the Temple’s three Dragon Knights. His position within the Knights Temple was second only to the Hall Master, earning him the honorific of the Great Luminous Dragon Knight, also the wielder of the divine seal of Carnage and Apocalypse among the Six Great God’s Seal Cathedras Rex of the Knights Temple, and the Judge and Executioner’s divine seal Knight of the Temple.

Each title represents the pinnacle of the current era, and indeed, he is counted among the superpowers of the human world. This legendary figure’s name is Xi Che.

Most of the high-ranking officials in the Federation military come from the Six Great Temples, and the military top brass are also the strongest members of the Six Great Temples. However, Xi Che’s position in the military is formidable, ranking within the top three. Since his youth, he has served in the military, representing the Knights Temple. Leveraging his abilities, he gradually climbed the ranks, acquiring the favor of a Luminous Divine Dragon and making a successful pact. Eventually, he became the Great Luminous Dragon Knight, receiving vast resources from the Knights Temple and ultimately achieving his current status.

Xi Che is over sixty years old, but for a divine seal knight of his caliber, sixty is just his prime. He is also one of the key pillars of the Knights Temple and is hailed as the first successor to the Temple Master. After all, both the Temple Master and the Sacred Legate are getting old.

Xi Che’s gaze fell on Long Dangdang. Instantly, Long Dangdang felt an uncannily familiar aura that evoked a sense of closeness. Under Xi Che’s eyes, he didn’t feel exposed. Instead, there was a comforting feeling of a spring breeze caressing his face, which even eased his nervousness slightly.

Could this be the mutual fondness between Dragon Knights? This thought popped into Long Dangdang’s mind.

Xi Che gave him a faint smile, "Long Dangdang, step forward."

The rest of the military bigwigs watched Long Dangdang with a dash of curiosity, surprised by Commander Xi Che’s friendliness towards the young man in his presence. It’s worth noting that as the Commander of the Three Armed Forces and the Knight of Judgement and Execution’s divine seal, Xi Che was revered for his strict impartiality. Especially the youthful, energetic young woman, her eyes on Long Dangdang revealed a hint of curiosity.

With steady strides, Long Dangdang approached the military leaders.
