Chapter 259 Shock

“Boom boom boom!”

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Skadi's clear voice came from behind the door.

Pushing open the door, Hestia slowly walked into the office.

This woman, what is she doing here? Although Skadi knew that she had to meet her frequently due to official duties, after what happened yesterday and today, she had an involuntary desire to avoid Hestia.

"Skadi, I'm sorry!" Hestia's sudden apology startled Skadi. Her sometimes good and sometimes bad attitude made Skadi unable to adapt.

Skadi was puzzled: "Why apologize..."

Hestia laughed at herself, "It's okay. I just wanted to say it out loud. It's okay once I say it out loud."

Skadi was silent: "..."

She knew what Hestia was talking about. If it weren't for their father, the two of them wouldn't have ended up like this. Should she say it was fate or just bad luck?

However, the grudges, love and hate that happened to their parents' generation should not be borne by their younger generations.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, her appearance was a mistake. But now, Skadi has a different idea. Humanity is at the brink of survival, and perhaps her birth is just what this broken world needs.

Skadi said, "It's okay, I understand. Hestia, let's let it go and focus on the war at hand, okay?"

Hestia closed her eyes and nodded.

The room fell silent, as if something was gradually dissolving at this moment. Although it was still far from the effect Skadi wanted, it was generally moving in a good direction.

"By the way, what do you think of the new commander?" Hestia felt that talking about those topics was too heavy, so she thought that changing the subject might be better.

Skadi was slightly stunned, then said: "Bold, adventurous, and decisive."

Hestia nodded and then shook her head. "Not only that, Skadi."

"Oh? Tell me, what do you think?" Seeing that she took the initiative to change the subject, Skadi couldn't help but ask.

Hestia smiled. "Sir, he has more than just the qualities you mentioned. He also has a strong sense of responsibility, is compassionate, clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, and he has a strong sense of mission."

"I wonder if you've noticed, Skadi, that every team the commander comes into contact with is able to gather a strong sense of cohesion in a very short period of time. Whether it's the Messenger Fleet or the Deadwater Fleet, they all have a very high opinion of the commander..."

"Furthermore, the commander's tactical talent is astonishing. In the battles he participated in over the past two days, whether against Circe or Ymir, not a single dancer in our column was injured. The injury rate was zero... Although each battle was indeed fierce..."

Skadi didn't expect Hestia to say so much in one breath, but after listening carefully, she suddenly found that what Hestia said seemed to be true.

Skadi did not rush to reply, but quickly picked up two battle briefings, one was a briefing on the encounter with Circe, and the other was a briefing on the encounter with Ymir.

The more she looked, the more astonishing it became. Following Hestia's reminder, she had to admit that the new commander's tactical talent was more than just terrifying.

She sorted out her words before saying, "Hestia, it's not just that..."

Skadi said as she handed the briefing in her hand to Hestia.

"Pay attention to the contents of the briefing. Have you noticed any patterns?" Skadi thought it should not be difficult for Hestia to find out.

Hestia was a little curious. After taking the briefing, she examined it carefully, and her eyebrows slightly raised for a moment.

Her eyes suddenly lit up: "I found it!"

"Oh? What did you find?"

Hestia immediately said, "It's the ammunition! The commander calculated the ammunition reserves for each battle just right, and the main force's ammunition was only used up to less than 10%!"

"But, but... the battle against Ymir was easy. After all, we had the advantage of preemptive strikes, and the commander already had experience dealing with the Skeleton Princess. But how did he manage to calculate this first battle against Circe, the Skeleton Princess, so precisely? How did he do it?"

Skadi stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sunset outside and said, "Hestia, there's more than just this. Take a closer look. Do you find anything else?"

Hestia was stunned. Could there be more? She quickly picked up the briefing again and read it carefully, but even after a long time, she still didn't understand.

Hestia shook her head, "You know my abilities... this is all I can tell."

Skadi smiled rarely after hearing this. Hestia was not someone who would give up easily. She actually took the initiative to admit her own lack of ability.

Skadi then added: "The arrangement of tactical positions, every one of them is perfect, and it was planned from the very beginning. Every single one was thought out and arranged in place in advance."

Hearing this, Hestia was shocked and immediately re-checked the battle coordinate history records in the briefing. It was just as Skadi said. This... what kind of calculation ability was needed to arrange everything just right?

This also...

"This is too perverted, right?" Skadi seemed to see through Hestia's expression.

Hestia took a deep breath and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Skadi continued, "This isn't the most terrifying thing. What's even more terrifying is the commander's ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Look carefully at Sersi's battle report. Do you notice anything?"
