Keqing only spoke up after Qingque and Fu Xuan had finished their communication.
“What is a living planet?” She had heard the term before, but she had never been clear on exactly how much of a threat it posed.
“A living celestial body,” Jing Yuan said calmly.
“A living…
planet…” So a living planet really was just a planet that’s alive…
“General, what should we do now?” Keqing asked.
Information of this magnitude was already beyond what she could comfortably process.
“Wait,” Jing Yuan said only a single word.
At a time like this, they could only wait—wait for the Xianzhou’s Divination Commission to find the location of the Abundance Axis.
“Qingque, Keqing, return directly to the Seat of Divine Foresight.
For the coming period, unless there is an absolute necessity, you are to stay there,” Jing Yuan told the two of them.
“Yes, General,” they replied simultaneously.
Having said that, Jing Yuan walked quickly toward the Divination Commission.
Until he received information regarding that Abundance Axis, he would also be staying at the Divination Commission.
The Xianzhou’s course also needed to be altered, beginning to converge toward the Xianzhou ship nearest to the Luofu.
After Qingque and Keqing returned to the Seat of Divine Foresight, Qingque went straight to the seat where Jing Yuan usually sat and began handling official business.
“Chief Strategist, no matter which Xianzhou ship it is, it wouldn’t be easily invaded, right?” “Every ship has a General.
Even if those Abominations of Abundance wanted to stall a single General, they would have to pay a very heavy price, wouldn’t they?” Keqing asked while handling her own work.
“Usually, you don’t ask such questions while working,” Qingque remarked.
“But it’s unavoidable.
The General is indeed very strong, but do not underestimate those Abominations of Abundance.” “Just as we have the blessing of the Reignbow Arbiter, those Abominations of Abundance also have the blessing of destruction.” “Especially regarding the existence of living planets.
According to current records, the most recent Xianzhou ship to be shot down was taken down by a living planet,” Qingque said.
“However, you needn’t worry too much.
Since we’ve obtained this intelligence in advance, as long as we are prepared, the Xianzhou is still capable of shattering a living planet.” “You shouldn’t overthink it.
We are Strategists; we just need to do our own jobs well.” “Chief Strategist, I still have one question.
Since we have the intelligence now, why don’t we send people out for reconnaissance?” Keqing asked.
“Are we perhaps relying a bit too much on the Divination Commission’s divinations?” “Now that we know the enemy has methods to block divination, why haven’t we dispatched scout teams?” “If those Abominations of Abundance are to mass their forces, there will certainly be trajectories of their gathering.
If scouts find these trajectories, couldn’t we then deduce their approximate location?” Keqing was very puzzled; was the Xianzhou relying too heavily on the Matrix of Prescience?
If the Matrix of Prescience yielded no news, would they only discover the enemy when they arrived at their doorstep?
The Xianzhou’s movement trajectory had always been very obvious.
It would be very simple for those Abominations of Abundance to find the Xianzhou.
Furthermore, with a target as large as a living planet, it shouldn’t be that simple for the Abominations of Abundance to hide it.
“You are right.
We indeed cannot just keep waiting for the Divination Commission’s results.” Qingque nodded.
“I will contact the Fleet now and have them scout the area around the Xianzhou.” Qingque took out her jade message, opened a special system, and began operating it.
“You should take a look at this system too.
According to the General’s intentions, he plans to take you along for this Abundance War.” Qingque beckoned to Keqing, letting her stand beside her.
Keqing looked at the interface displayed before Qingque, which showed the names of the Fleets and the surrounding star chart.
“Remote command doesn’t require overly complex instructions; we just need to tell them what to do on here,” Qingque said, tapping a Fleet and entering an order into the command bar to scout the situation around the Xianzhou.
“Do you remember when you took the Strategist exam, there were specific command problems?” “Yes, I remember.” Keqing nodded.
When she saw those questions back then, she thought she would be sent directly to the front lines as a commander after passing.
Instead, she ended up doing clerical work in the Seat of Divine Foresight.
“The Strategists working in the Seat of Divine Foresight can be said to be in a probationary period.
Once that period is over, they are sent to the front lines for training.” “Under normal circumstances, clerical work in the Seat of Divine Foresight only lasts ten years.” “Ten years?
But I’ve already worked in the Seat of Divine Foresight for thirty years,” Keqing said, somewhat confused.
“That’s because you were too young.
The General and I felt that if a child like you were sent straight to the battlefield, it might leave a very severe psychological shadow.” “Plus, you really are quite good at clerical work; you’ve lightened the workload for both the General and me significantly.” “If this Abundance War hadn’t broken out, the General might have let you stay as a clerk in the Seat of Divine Foresight indefinitely.” “Alright, our scout Fleet has been dispatched.
I should inform the General and the others.” Qingque contacted Jing Yuan again.
They really had relied too much on the Divination Commission’s information.
When the Divination Commission couldn’t perform a divination, they hadn’t even thought to dispatch a scout Fleet immediately.
As Keqing was processing documents, she suddenly saw the ones she hadn’t finished from yesterday.
When Keqing brought these documents to Qingque, she said, “You can try to process these documents using your own understanding.” That was what Qingque said…
Left with no choice, Keqing had to use her meager knowledge to handle the remaining documents from yesterday.
Was it really reasonable to let an ordinary Strategist like her handle such important documents?
Why did she always feel like Qingque and Jing Yuan were setting her up?
When she first arrived at the Seat of Divine Foresight, there weren’t this many documents for her to handle.
Now, the amount of paperwork she had to process was already three or four times what it was when she first arrived.
Striving to distinguish the pros and cons of these documents and making trade-offs, Keqing felt like she was going to lose her hair.
After finally finishing the documents, Keqing remembered that she hadn’t told Qingque she wouldn’t be returning home lately.
Unsure if there were any issues with her processing, Keqing placed the documents before Qingque for her to double-check.
She then took her jade message to a corner to contact Qingque.
But after waiting a while without a reply from Qingque, Keqing simply composed a message about not returning and sent it over.
Qingque looked at the documents Keqing had processed and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the methods used were relatively mediocre, this was precisely what she and the General appreciated most about Keqing.
Unless it was an extreme moment, a mediocre approach was the best approach.
She handed the documents to a mechanical birds to have them delivered to where they needed to go.
It was time for her and Keqing to get some rest.
