Salisbury, along with Han Sen and five vice leaders.

At the beginning, she was merely curious about what Gu Qijue would report.

Evidently, none of them had anticipated Gu Qijue's remarkable capability.

He had only just entered the battlefield and astonishingly seized a Klein's Holy Cabinet.

Salisbury promptly stepped forward to initiate communication with Gu Qijue.

She looked at Gu Qijue and asked, "Have you researched Klein's Holy Cabinet?"

"Is the Holy Cabinet in your possession damaged or intact?"

Gu Qijue earnestly replied, "Your Excellency the Leader, I have conducted preliminary research on Klein's Holy Cabinet."

"Based on my research, I discovered the Holy Cabinet has two functions."

"One function is to keep Kleins and most creatures in long-term dormancy."

"Another function is to transform most living beings into Kleins."

"As for the Holy Cabinet in my possession, it is intact and ready for delivery to the research department at any time."

Upon hearing this, Salisbury was greatly satisfied.

The female Supreme Leader praised lavishly, "Viscount Gu Qijue, you have performed excellently!"

"Your contributions will be recorded in the honor ledger of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster."

"Apart from the Klein's Holy Cabinet, do you have any other findings?"

Gu Qijue thought for a moment but decided not to present any other items.

Although handing them over would amount to merit.

These items, however, could be utilized by him and are extremely useful.

Hence, there was no need for submission.

Gu Qijue shook his head and said, "Besides Klein's Holy Cabinet, I have secured the bodies of Kleins."

"My starship crew is currently conducting dissection and research on these bodies. Does the Star Cluster's research department require them?"

In his estimation, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster's research department probably didn't need the Klein corpses.

His judgment was accurate, as Salisbury quickly responded:

"The research department will swiftly deploy starships to liaise with you."

"You just need to hand over Klein's Holy Cabinet to the research department personnel."

"Additionally, do you have any other requests?"

Since the Supreme Leader had inquired, Gu Qijue did not hesitate to respond.

He straightforwardly stated, "Your Excellency the Leader, is there an elite combat force available for me to command now?"

This question stumped Salisbury.

Typically, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster would gradually assign elite combat forces to the ennobled lords over time.

However, Gu Qijue's decoration had occurred just before the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster faced significant upheaval.

At present, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster couldn't allocate elite combat forces for Gu Qijue's command.

After pondering for a while, Salisbury nonetheless stated, "Currently, it's impossible to allocate large elite combat forces to you."

"However, you can still command conventional combat units."

The Vermilion Bird Star Cluster's elite forces were limited, although conventional combat units were available in abundance.

Although Gu Qijue wished to command elites, given that elite units were unavailable, commanding conventional troops was acceptable.

He currently served openly as a First-class Viscount of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, though he actually could command fewer than a hundred troops.

On the battlefield against the Kleins, warriors below the F-Tier Cosmic Level weren't eligible to participate.

They were essentially cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Even the Acquired Kleins modified by the Kleins could be rapidly advanced to the F-Tier Cosmic Level.

Only upon becoming F-Tier Cosmic Level warriors would they formally enter the battlefield to fight.

After ending communication with Salisbury, Gu Qijue quickly received a new communication request.

The request came from the Black Stone Legion, one of the conventional combat units of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

The Black Stone Legion, with a longstanding history, consists of approximately one hundred thousand members, all F-Class Cosmic Warriors.

However, these individuals weren't elite, or they had some issues preventing them from advancing and joining the elite troops of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Gu Qijue connected to the Black Stone Legion's communication request and saw a middle-aged man with a square face.

The man's face bore several fierce scars, some old and others recently acquired, still healing.

Upon seeing Gu Qijue, the man proactively spoke, "Commander, I am Weber, the Legion Commander of the Black Stone Legion."

After introducing himself, Weber continued, introducing the person by his side to Gu Qijue.

"This is the Deputy Legion Commander of the Black Stone Legion, Alorde."

"We received orders from the operation division to follow Commander Gu's instructions in all our forthcoming actions."

After completing introductions, Weber, along with Alorde, looked at Gu Qijue intently.

Although Gu Qijue enjoyed a great reputation in the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, and both acknowledged him as a hero of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster,

He wasn't necessarily fit to be a command leader.

Let alone leading F-Tier units, Gu Qijue hardly had records of commanding Super Divine Tier units before.

This led Weber and Alorde to harbor some misgivings about Gu Qijue's capability.

Unaware of Weber and Alorde's thoughts, Gu Qijue remained unconcerned even if he knew.

He looked at the two and said, "Now bring all Black Stone Legion members to the coordinates where I am located to converge."

Weber, upon hearing this, immediately responded, "Yes!"

Yet he quickly added, "Commander, may I ask a question?"

To which Gu Qijue casually replied, "What is your question?"

Weber frowned, "Why order Black Stone Legion to leave its post and gather at the Commander's location?"

Gu Qijue certainly had his reasoning for summoning them.

"The position of the Black Stone Legion is at the rear of the battlefield."

"Short-term, there will be no combat in that area."

"Even if there's combat, the Black Stone Legion won't have the opportunity to engage."

"Since I'm in charge of the Black Stone Legion for the foreseeable time, I won't have them evade combat."

"Under my leadership, the Black Stone Legion will strive to maximize its gain on this battlefield."

Unlike Gu Qijue, Weber and Alorde were somewhat pessimistic.

Though the Black Stone Legion hadn't clashed with the Kleins, both Weber and Alorde had skirmished with Kleins.

The special operations they partook in suffered severe casualties.

In Weber's special operations team, Weber was the sole survivor to retreat successfully from the battlefield.

The formidable Klein warriors made Weber and Alorde rather reluctant to lead the Black Stone Legion directly into confrontation.

While both were top-tier warriors within the Black Stone Legion, the Legion predominantly comprised weaker individuals.

However, since Gu Qijue had given the order, they had no option but to comply with his command.

The two hundred starships of the Black Stone Legion swiftly activated, ascending rapidly.

The space jump devices quickly entered operational mode within a brief period.
