Gu Zhilin's words made Lu Jin'an realize that the strategies of ancient people might be superior to those of modern people, so he intentionally let Gu Zhilin try to command the battle.
Although it's still too early, there's no problem handing over the command of his warships to Gu Zhilin for tomorrow's naval battle.
The next day was a warship exercise, and Wen Yili was not surprised to learn that he had been assigned to Lu Jin'an's warship.
Jiang Jiyang, however, took a break from the interrogation due to the exercise and focused on Lu Jin'an's warship.
He was somewhat surprised to see Wen Yili: "I thought Commander Lu would put you on someone else's warship."
Jiang Jiyang was just joking when Wen Yili glanced at him and said calmly, "I am now Zhilin's apprentice, and an apprentice naturally follows his master."
Jiang Jiyang was unaware of this and was somewhat surprised: "Master and disciple? When did you two become like this?"
Wen Yili said calmly, "I just became your apprentice a couple of days ago."
Jiang Jiyang looked at Lu Jin'an and Gu Zhilin in shock.
Gu Zhilin nodded and said, "Yes, he is my apprentice now, and I will pass on all my skills to him in the future. You should also show him some respect."
Jiang Jiyang didn't seem to have much of a reaction to this change in identity. He just secretly came up to Lu Jin'an and said, "You're quite capable! You turned your love rival into her apprentice."
Lu Jin'an smiled upon hearing this: "I don't know either, it was their own decision."
This surprised Jiang Jiyang even more, but he didn't have many chances to be surprised.
Because the exercise is about to take place.
Jiang Jiyang originally thought that "Brilliant" would join the exercise.
Lu Jin'an replied calmly, "Isn't using 'brilliant' just bullying people?"
After saying that, he led Gu Zhilin and the others onto the same warship they had been on before.
Gu Zhilin had no objection to this, and Wen Yili had even less objection.
As a freshman at the combat academy, it was already quite an achievement for him to be able to enter the warship.
When Wen Yili first entered the warship, he was still curious about its internal facilities.
He wanted to see everything, but with the exercise imminent, he didn't have much time to visit before Lu Jin'an called him to his side.
“You’re also a fire control technician, and you’ll be learning from me this time. I think my skills should be able to teach you.” Ever since he learned that Wen Yili had become Gu Zhilin’s apprentice.
Lu Jin'an's hostility towards this person, which stemmed from being a love rival, vanished.
Instead, her gaze toward Wen Yili became more loving.
Her eyes looked as if she were her teacher's wife.
Gu Zhilin felt he couldn't bear to look at the person's eyes and simply stopped looking.
Although Wen Yili was annoyed, his skills were undeniable. If we're talking about the strongest fire control expert in the entire Earth Alliance, then Lu Jin'an is undoubtedly the best.
He had no reason to refuse.
Only Jiang Jiyang found Lu Jin'an's behavior hilarious. He tried to suppress his laughter and sat back down in his seat, but in the end, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This earned him a glare from Lu Jin'an.
As the exercise began and the ship took off, Lu Jin'an said, "Today's exercise is a battle of individual combat, and our warships will be commanded by Gu Zhilin."
Gu Zhilin raised an eyebrow, not surprised at all, since the two had discussed this issue yesterday.
He personally felt that there was nothing to command on a warship; his expertise lay in flying and coordinating strategies.
However, he did not refuse. After takeoff, all the warships of the Earth Alliance participating in the exercise flew to a space not far from Earth.
There are relatively few meteorite planets here.
The moment he entered space, Gu Zhilin used his mental power to open a Bagua formation. After this period of cultivation, the area of the Bagua formation he could open was getting larger and larger.
All the warships in the entire Bagua Formation were under his control.
So he took the initiative from the start. While the other warships were still looking for an opportunity, Gu Zhilin gave Lu Jin'an the order to destroy them all.
This order was undoubtedly reckless, but Lu Jin'an had no doubts and began indiscriminate attacks from any position he could fire from.
During the attack, he discovered that what Gu Zhilin had described as "within sight" were actually the flying warships he had selected.
The crews on these warships are generally not very skilled pilots; this is to phase out warships that lack the necessary expertise.
Wen Yili watched Lu Jin'an's skillful operation and her trust in Gu Zhilin's orders. The speed of her attack was so fast that he had never seen it in the teaching videos at the academy.
Jiang Jiyang, busy repairing the warship, complained, "Are you all going to take all the damage?"
Gu Zhilin chuckled upon hearing this: "What? Are you scared already? General Jiang, you're no good!"
Jiang Jiyang snorted coldly: "I can't do it? You just keep building. If the warship is still slightly damaged after the exercise, I'll admit defeat."
Gu Zhilin nodded in satisfaction and continued to join the battle. At this moment, the entire training space was disrupted by his preemptive strike.
Almost all warships would attack any other warship they encountered.
There was simply no time to contact them.
At this time, Gu Zhilin, who had the clearest understanding of the situation in the Bagua diagram, was always able to accurately locate the elite warships.
And when those warships were damaged to some extent, they delivered a fatal blow with Gu Zhilin.
By taking advantage of the chaos, they captured many soldiers on warships.
The damaged warships will return to the Earth Alliance base on their own.
At this moment, Gu Zhilin and Lu Jin'an were practically going on a killing spree.
Just as fewer and fewer warships remained on the field, Gu Zhilin suddenly stopped.
Then his brows furrowed.
Lu Jin'an was the first to notice his unusual behavior: "What's wrong?"
"Notify all warships that this is no longer an exercise," Gu Zhilin said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Jiyang shuddered upon hearing this.
"Other warships have infiltrated." After saying this, Gu Zhilin suddenly turned the warship around, flew upwards, and then plunged downwards, shouting at Lu Jin'an, "Use live ammunition!"
Without any hesitation, Lu Jin'an switched from the virtual laser projectiles used in the exercise to live ammunition used in actual combat.
As expected, the shot hit its mark, and at the same time, the enemy's live ammunition was fired.
Fortunately, Gu Zhilin was prepared and dodged in time.
Lu Jin'an also informed others that other warships had infiltrated the area.
Wen Yili never expected that his participation in a training exercise would lead to a real battle.
Although the enemy warships suffered damage from the attack, it was clear that the enemy had come prepared.
The warship was well-equipped, so the damage was not serious.
Earth's warships, on the other hand, were at a disadvantage in terms of equipment because they were all training equipment.
"Are they Martians?" Lu Jin'an asked.
Gu Zhilin nodded: "Yes, they seem to know we have an exercise today, and... quite a few of them came."
He sensed more and more warships entering the range of his Bagua Formation.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin'an immediately reported to the Earth Alliance warship base and requested support.
