C7 Those Who Insulted the God Would be Killed!

At this moment, if he failed to recognize the woman before him, he might as well admit he'd wasted over forty years of his life! She was the only Seven-star female commander in the entire Dragon Country, and indeed, within the All Country Alliance—Shen Qinghuang!

As the War Department Commander of Ling City, he was privy to the news of Shen Qinghuang's return. While her exact identity remained a mystery, the tales of Qinghuang's valor had traveled from the Chaotic Sea Domain to the ears of every Dragon Country person, etching a permanent mark in their memories.

Throughout the centuries of the All Country Alliance's existence, she stood alone as the sole Seven-star female commander. Enlisting in the suicide squad at just sixteen, she quickly distinguished herself with her valor. Within mere months, she fought her way out, and within a year, she ascended to the rank of Seven-star General of the All Country Alliance. Time and again, when the Alliance considered sanctions against Dragon Country, it was her intervention that made the most powerful leaders stand down. Frankly, it's her presence that has secured the current peace in Dragon Country.

Otherwise, not just me, the Ling City commander, but two-thirds of the Ling City War Department would likely be stationed in the Chaotic Sea Domain, fighting to defend our nation. But now, thanks to her, the Seven-star Great Commander, millions of Dragon Country warriors have been spared from battle.

"What? The Great Commander? Commander Lau, you must be mistaken. She's nothing but a cast-off from our Shen family!"

"She's the kind who shamelessly got pregnant in secret, a despicable woman!"

"How could she possibly be the Great Commander of Dragon Country?"

I've heard the legends of the Great Commander, of course. But she's always been defending our nation in the Chaotic Sea Domain. Aside from our leader, who in Dragon Country has truly seen the Great Commander's face?

But now, to be told that an outcast from the Shen family is the Great Commander of Dragon Country? That's no laughing matter!

The warrior tending to Shen Yuv's wounds halted at the sound of the proclamation. Dropping the medical kit, he approached Shen Qinghuang with fervent zeal. Emulating his leader, he knelt on one knee and declared, "I respectfully welcome the return of the Great Commander!"

A light sparked in his eyes at that moment. Though unfamiliar with Shen Qinghuang, he had grown up on tales of her exploits since his first day at the War Department. To the Dragon Country people, the Great Commander was a deity!

Gods must not be dishonored! Those who dare to disrespect them must be slain!

A surge of lethal intent emanated from him as he drew his sidearm and aimed it squarely at Shen Yuv's forehead.

Bang!

A dull thud echoed as Shen Yuv collapsed. How could a mere warrior presume to do such a thing?

"I..." The warrior, bewildered, gazed at the gun in his grasp.

Glancing around, he quickly knelt before Shen Qinghuang, pleading, "Great Commander, I beg for your punishment!"

Meanwhile, Lau Feng was equally taken aback, never anticipating such unwavering loyalty from his troops. Still, as their leader, he knew he must assume responsibility.

With a hand on the young soldier's shoulder, he turned to Shen Qinghuang with earnest intensity, "Great Commander, if punishment is due, let it fall on me for my failure to guide properly!"

"No! Punish me! It's my fault for acting rashly!" the soldier interjected, pushing Lau Feng aside.

Observing the soldier's resolve, a hint of amusement graced Shen Qinghuang's lips. "Very well, I shall punish you. What is your name?"

"Great Commander!" Lau Feng interjected, his voice tinged with a hint of despair.

"Reporting to the Great Commander, I am Ding Ao!"

"Ding Ao?" Shen Qinghuang regarded him thoughtfully.

"Present!" Ding Ao responded with fervor.

"My punishment for you is to serve as an adjutant to Commander Lau. Do you have any objections?"
