The Legendary Man Chapter 1211-Leslie’s words ignited a sudden flurry of activity in the silent command room.
The first-level commanders of the Eastern Allied Army, numbering less than thirty, were esteemed figures with unparalleled authority in their respective military districts. They wielded absolute authority over the military, and they were second only to the Kings of War in terms of power and influence.
Each person remaining in the command room held immense authority. They even possessed the power to take preemptive action and engage in warfare without seeking prior approval during emergencies.
Under Leslie’s leadership, this group of individuals exhibited a remarkable sense of humility. The reason for their humility was straightforward: the operational methods employed by the young girl standing before them had left them deeply impressed and astonished.
In traditional warfare practices, it was customary for these commanders to be personally present on the frontlines of their assigned war zones. This allowed them to have real-time control over the battle’s progress and served as a morale booster for the soldiers. Their physical presence instilled confidence and a sense of security among the troops.
Nevertheless, they adopted a different approach under Leslie’s guidance. Instead of being physically present at the frontlines, she directed them to gather and seek refuge in the underground facility.
Naturally, the battle-hardened commanders viewed this act of avoiding frontline battles with disdain, but the young woman’s reasoning for doing so was simple.
Technology had advanced far beyond what it was decades or even just a few years ago.
With the exceptional intelligence capabilities of Asura’s Office, the advancements in technology had brought about near-instantaneous synchronization of information about the entire battlefield.
With the elimination of delays in receiving information, there was no longer a need for these commanders to risk their lives and engage in theatrical acts solely for their own interests.
While soldiers could be replaced or recruited from other districts if they perished, the loss of a commander would be irreplaceable.
Hence, it was crucial for these high-ranking commanders to prioritize their own safety.
Initially skeptical of Leslie’s approach, these influential first-level commanders gradually changed their tune over the past two days. They had witnessed how the Eastern Allied Army, which was originally in a passive defense situation, swiftly stabilized its frontlines and even displayed signs of counterattacking.
It was at that point that they came to acknowledge the significant gap between their own abilities and those of Leslie.
As they diligently attended to their specific roles, Leslie, on the other hand, possessed a comprehensive understanding of the entire battlefield. Her seemingly unorthodox and puzzling directives gradually revealed a coherent strategy as the war unfolded.
Witnessing the tangible results and the effectiveness of her strategies, the first-level commanders couldn’t help but become convinced and fully embrace Leslie’s leadership.
After the 3D projector was activated, the lights in the room were dimmed to enhance the clarity of the projected images on the floor.
Wearing gloves embedded with electronic components, Leslie confidently approached the front of the 3D projector. She briefly glanced at Kane’s face, but quickly shifted her attention to other matters at hand.
“The data update is complete, commander!”
A girl standing next to Leslie relayed information to her in a soft voice.
To which Leslie responded with a light nod, then clapped her hands together.
“All right, everyone, let’s review the situation on the River Onxy battlefield,” she announced, her voice filled with authority.
With a swift movement of her fingers over the control panel, the ten-square-meter 3D projection on the floor expanded rapidly.
The others that were gathered around the projector appeared as if they were suspended in the sky, observing the entire battlefield from a bird’s-eye view.
The edges of the projection blurred, obscuring the mountains and rivers from view. Instead, specific areas were zoomed in on, magnifying them with precision and clarity.
“South bank of River Onxy, one hundred and thirty kilometers east of Jussipi, our forces have encountered the Medved Army’s thirty-eighth brigade. Now, let’s gather intelligence on the enemy forces in that area.”
With Leslie’s skillful manipulation, the three-dimensional map smoothly transitioned between different regions, displaying the relevant data in each area.
