Chapter 1109: Chapter 666: After the Great Battle
Survivors after the calamity.
Qing Chen stood in the middle of the devastated battlefield, looking around. They were victorious, yet no one could feel happy about it.
Simply because, in this war, nearly ten thousand people had truly perished. Even if Qing Chen was the victor, he couldn’t find much cause for celebration.
This battle.
The Chen Clan lost two Southern Fleets.
Lost two A-Class Painters.
Lost one Field Division, two Field Brigades.
Lost 7 Zhi Lanxing and one of Chen Yu’s lives.
Most importantly, Chen Yu also lost over fifty Painting Scrolls.
Earlier, when Chen Yu used the Immortal Chestpin to substitute death, time had been frozen. Though he departed, the paintings remained, damaged.
Just the loss of these fifty Painting Scrolls could make Chen Yu shut himself for two years, not stepping out.
This was the time Shadow had gained for Qing Chen. So long as within two years Chen Yu couldn’t kill Qing Chen, there would be no more chances. He trusted his brother.
Meanwhile, Deer Island lost a Demigod.
Lost two battalion-level Marine units, 21 Immortality.
One could say Li Bingxi, that old fox, was truly cunning. If not for the Shadow Troop timely locating his wife, he might not have lost his life, and could instead swap Qing Chen and Shadow, dealing Chen Yu a heavy blow.
Could also exchange for key technology related to the Aerial Fortress in Qing’s Family’s hands, assisting Deer Island in completing the most crucial step before rising.
Unfortunately, Li Bingxi not only lost his life, became a laughingstock for the Federation, turned into a dove’s shadow, but also didn’t obtain the core technology.
Without the Aerial Fortress, Deer Island is destined to take a battering in future aerial warfare.
Sometimes, the wars between conglomerates don’t begin at the appearance of smoke. Controlling key technology itself is the key to victory.
And Qing Chen obtained Whale Island and Zhi Lanxing. The combined miraculous effects of these two wondrous items are destined to give a colossal surprise to the world someday in the future.
This is a turning point of fate.
At this moment, Gudong was sitting on the back of the Killer Bear, roaring to the sky, while the surviving boars snorted along.
Gudong looked towards Qing Chen and the others: “Gudong!”
Beside him, Zard replied: “Crunch!”
Gudong: “?”
Yang Yang speechlessly said: “Do you understand what he’s saying? You’re still chatting.”
“Don’t understand,” Zard said, “but so what? He doesn’t understand what I’m saying either.”
Quite fair.
Qing Chen couldn’t help but laugh: “He’s asking us to climb onto the bear’s back and return to the Taboo Land with him. The Killer Bear’s back is indeed broad enough to seat a dozen people without issue.”
As he spoke, he looked towards Gudong: “I can’t leave just yet, there might be others coming.”
“Gudong?” Gudong’s fighting spirit rose again.
(Enemy?)
Qing Chen shook his head: “Not enemy, friend.”
Zard breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced back at Huan Yu, who was still lying quietly on the sand he had lifted.
Qing Chen curiously asked: “Xiao Yu’s intellect stayed at a child’s level, is Da Yu a normal person? Why do I feel he’s a bit off too?”
Zard scratched his head: “He’s indeed not quite normal either, but maybe that’s because I affected him.”
Qing Chen was momentarily stunned: “You actually know you’re not quite normal…”
Zard said: “But Da Yu was really fierce at first. He’d just arrived at the Outer World wanting to establish his dynasty here. Xiao Yu would write to him each time to chat, and over time, he’d stop mentioning that. No idea what he’s been thinking lately.”
Qing Chen frowned, he felt there were some details that weren’t right, but just after a great battle, he hadn’t had the chance to sort through all memories and the clues behind them.
“What did Xiao Yu discuss with him?” Qing Chen curiously asked.
“I don’t know about that, they both wouldn’t let me see, really stingy,” Zard said. This guy effortlessly perceived Xiao Yu and Da Yu as two separate people.
Just then, Yang Yang asked from the side: “Who else will come inside? Li Changqing, right.”
“Hey, look at the sky, the bird flock is returning,” Qing Chen suddenly gazed into the distance, birds from Taboo Land No. 002 were coming back, with casualties over half, but their return indicated this battle was won.
While contemplating, Qing Chen saw the Qing Shan Falcon flap its wings and come to the side of the Vermilion Bird, opening its beak repeatedly trying to say something.
Too far to hear.
However, the beautiful Vermilion Bird didn’t even care to acknowledge it…
Instantly turned the Qing Shan Falcon into a sycophantic follower.
Qing Chen was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t expected the Qing Shan Falcon to have two faces.
On the Qing Shan Ship.
Seeing the Vermilion Bird confirming the last Chen Clan’s aerial airship was shot down, gracefully flying and leading the bird flock back to Taboo Land No. 002.
Cheers erupted within the command room, power cabin, fire cabin, and phased array radar cabin of each cabin.
Li Changqing only at this moment finally relaxed her tense nerves.
Being the ultimate commander, however, she didn’t show much more, simply calmly said: “Stop celebrating, return to your work stations, check the status of the Aerial Fortress.”
In the Aerial Fortress, soldiers suppressed their victorious joy.
“Power reserve remaining at 34%, reactor overheating but controllable.”
“Anti-gravity device normal, 12 anti-gravity cells damaged, 84 remaining.”
“Drone remaining at 2%.”
