Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 622 - 359_2

Because she didn’t know Qiu Tu was secretly watching them, Qiu Tu clearly caught the surprise and confusion in their eyes.

Clearly, the sharp pair had already guessed what Qiu Tu had just done, based on the voices over the communication and the events of the past few days...

But they obviously didn’t understand what it really meant, nor did they understand how Qiu Tu had managed to do it...

After all, even the Eighth Sanctuary didn’t know what the "Central Hub" was, let alone how to become a Domain Master, so it was impossible for them to know the abilities one could have after Refining the "Central Hub"...

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu observed Squad 3 again, ensuring there were no problems on their end before slowly retracting his gaze and returning to his busy workload.

That day was challenging because the Evil God Whale Shark had summoned several hundred Zhou Bing. These hundreds of Zhou Bing had been active all around the Primitive Forest, making the Dare-to-Die Team’s mission much harder.

Not only did they encounter Zhou Bing multiple times, but several conflicts also arose.

Luckily, under Qiu Tu’s command, apart from two team members who suffered minor injuries, most of the team retreated safely.

This significantly elevated Qiu Tu’s prestige among the Dare-to-Die Team members.

Consequently, the Loyalty of these Dare-to-Die Team members had generally broken through 55, and by the end of the mission, breaking through 70 seemed very likely.

By then, even if the Dare-to-Die Team disbanded, Qiu Tu could continue to command them and bring them under his fold...

...

"In military discipline, the relationship between subordinates and superiors is one of total dependence in life and death. In a state of war, every command from a superior decides the life or death of a subordinate."

"Therefore, subordinates can easily become the staunch, die-hard followers of their superiors."

"This is actually one of the reasons why the military often becomes unwieldy...."

Nightfall. The galaxy splashed brilliantly across the Skyline, scattering soft and clear radiance as though bidding the Great Emperor goodnight.

Amid this silvery light, inside Qiu Tu’s bedroom, Qin Shuman with Mao Tu’s face stood beside Qiu Tu, whispering to him.

She obviously noticed Qiu Tu’s intentions over these days, so she was hinting and reminding Qiu Tu.

With his hands behind his back, Qiu Tu looked out at the dark Primitive Forest outside the base, then spoke with a smile, "The local and the Central Hub are always in an invisible opposition to each other."

"The Central Hub worries that the locals are united, becoming a law unto themselves, hard to control, governing regional territories, answering summons but not proclamations, and even assuming a usurping mantle."

"Yet it also fears that the locals will be as loose as sand, lacking fighting strength and unable to confront external enemies."

"There is no absolute right way to do this. It’s all about balance."

Qiu Tu’s answer was simple. The Central Hub and the locals were naturally in an invisible opposition.

No matter what he did, there were problems, but there could also be no problems—it all depended on interpretation.

After hearing Qiu Tu’s words, Qin Shuman’s expression changed.

After a moment, she sighed softly and then rubbed her temples, saying, "You’ve changed so much recently, so much that I hardly recognize you."

She looked at Qiu Tu and then said earnestly, "Like these past two days. You seem to have used some methods I’ve never seen, or even dared to imagine."

"Those methods, they are like miracles."

"What level of Cataclysmic are you now? Third Order? Third-Order Peak?"

"Surely... you haven’t secretly reached Fourth Order, have you?"

As she spoke, Qin Shuman’s eyes were filled with curiosity.

While the two of them were exchanging these thoughts, a "knock knock knock" sounded on the door.

Qiu Tu said, "Come in."

The next second, the door opened, and South Wind, in the form of Tang Feifei, entered the room.

Seeing Qiu Tu and Mao Tu (Qin Shuman) standing shoulder to shoulder in an intimate manner, she furrowed her brows slightly before saying, "Sir, I have important intelligence to report to you."

Hearing Tang Feifei’s words, Qiu Tu turned around, looked at her intently, and then approached.

As Qiu Tu came closer, Tang Feifei also approached, leaned into Qiu Tu’s ear, and whispered, "Sir, Squad 2 on duty just sent a message. There’s activity in the forest."

"It seems like Zhou Bing are gathering in the forest, but their exact purpose is unknown."

Hearing Tang Feifei’s words, a chill went through Qiu Tu’s heart.

He activated Infinite Vision and immediately noticed that on the periphery of the forest, two to three hundred Zhou Bing were assembling.

A towering man, his body a deep blue and burly like a fortress, stood in front of them with an iron trident, a fierce expression on his face as he listened to their reports.

Although he couldn’t understand what they were saying, the agitated expressions of the Zhou Bing and the increasingly fiery eyes of the man suggested... they were complaining.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu’s brows knitted slightly, and he had an ominous premonition....

Sure enough, a flash of white light appeared before him the next second, bringing up a prompt.

"Crisis Intuition triggered! Generating Crisis Warning!"

"Due to the reports of the Zhou Bing, the Evil God Whale Shark has discovered the presence of you and the Dare-to-Die Team members!"

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

"Upon learning that a human squad is exploring the Xinjie Territory, gathering information, he is beside himself with anger. He believes you are disregarding his warnings and provoking his dignity!"

"Therefore, he plans to personally lead the Zhou Bing in encircling and capturing you!"

"Please, before you become a Domain Master, ensure your whereabouts and safety are secure, and do not let him discover your tracks."

"Otherwise, you wouldn’t want to know what a self-proclaimed provoked Evil God will do to you...."

Seeing the Crisis Warning before him, Qiu Tu kept a calm facade, but inwardly he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
