Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1154: Chapter 679: Upstream (Part 2)

Many outsiders say that Li Xiurui favors Uncle Li Dong the most, so it is very likely that the Family Head will exceptionally pass down the position to his seventh son.

However, only Li Xiurui knows that ever since his mother passed away, no matter how busy his father was, he would always take two hours each day to impart knowledge, share experiences, and test wisdom.

In fact, from that moment on, Li Yunshou already knew that his father wanted to leave with his mother.

After his mother’s death, everything his father did for the rest of his life was merely to ensure the family’s long-term continuation.

When Ji Guanya arrived at the mid-mountain estate, Li Yunshou had already gone to bed and hadn’t planned anything.

However, when Ji Guanya stated that he had come at Qing Chen’s behest, this Master of the Li Family immediately got up.

After a confidential discussion, a piece of intelligence was transmitted to the T101 military base through an encrypted network.

Li Changqing only glanced at it briefly before immediately getting up: “Prepare the A-Class Floating ship, I need to depart for City 10.”

Lao Er who was dozing off on a chair outside the command post heard Li Changqing’s words and asked confusedly, “Why not take a B-Class Floating Ship, it’s faster.”

“I’m going to fight, prepare the A-Class Floating ship and the escort fleet!” Li Changqing said coldly. “The Family Head said, Qing Chen entrusted Ji Guanya with a message that City 10 has been contaminated by Jindai Chika’s corpse and a disaster is imminent.”

Lao Er was shocked for a long time: “Wait, you just returned from the south, there’s no need for you to go personally, Boss, you should oversee the rear, there’s no reason for you to be on the battlefield every time.”

Li Changqing glanced at him: “Qing Chen is in City 10.”

Lao Er was silent for a long while: “It’s a sin indeed.”

“Where is Xiao Ying?” Li Changqing asked loudly.

“I’m here, Boss,” Xiao Ying walked in timidly from outside.

“Weren’t you and Qing Chen both at the Time Traveler’s Academy, why didn’t you inform me about this?” Li Changqing asked with a grim expression.

Xiao Ying was overwhelmed by the aura of the woman in front of her: “Qing Chen said you just came out of a battle and it’s not suitable for you to take the risk of going to City 10 again…”

Li Changqing sneered and headed out: “He didn’t come to me but went to the Privy Council, it’s clear he doesn’t want me to go, but I’ll go anyway.”

However, at this moment, Li Su hurried over: “General Li, Jindai just held a press conference announcing that City 10 has been biologically contaminated, a huge disaster is brewing. The Jindai Northern Fleet will set sail in 8 hours to support City 10.”

Li Changqing frowned: “A thief crying ‘stop thief’; they’re using this as an excuse to head south!”

It was obviously a disaster caused by the Jindai Consortium themselves, now it becomes the reason for the Jindai Northern Fleet to move south.

Moreover, not just the Northern Fleet, the field army under Jindai’s control may also head south together.

In the battle of Taboo Land No. 002, the Qing’s Family, Li Family, Deer Island, and Chen Clan all participated, but the Jindai Consortium remained silent, plotting.

Now, the other side chose this timing, just when all forces were preparing to rest and recuperate.

And their choice to contaminate City 10 is also rather cunning.

First, City 10 has the largest population.

Second, City 10’s defenses are empty.

Earlier, the five major consortiums all sent troops there. Qing’s stationed 100 kilometers from City 10, so Jindai had to station 90 kilometers away, and Li Family 80 kilometers away.

Eventually, everyone was stationed at the edge of the city, making it look like the five great armies were about to siege the city.

At the slightest disturbance in any camp, everyone became extraordinarily sensitive and tense.

Thus, an agreement was made between the consortiums that no troops would be stationed within 800 kilometers of City 10.

800 kilometers is the distance between City 10 and City 18.

Now, due to this avoidance by all parties, the troops are far away and no one can provide rapid support.

Jindai calculated everything perfectly.

This time will be the beginning of a full-scale war!

Li Changqing returned to the command post, calmly and silently observing the holographic sand table, overlooking the entire Northern Battlefield.

Ten minutes later, the operations staff entered the command post: “Deer Island also announced they will head south to support City 10.”

She paced back and forth in the command post and finally made a decision: “We’re not going to City 10, inform the Privy Council, our unit will complete logistical preparations in 8 hours and will rendezvous with frontline commander Li Yunmu in 16 hours… we’re in for a tough battle.”

At this moment, the Qing Shan Ship cannot take off, but the Jindai Consortium’s aerial fortress remains intact.

This battle will not be easy.

Li Changqing glanced at the holographic sand table showing City 10 like a lone fortress; she really wanted to go there.

But as a commander of the Li Family, earlier she could drive the Qing Shan Ship to personally appear in front of the Chen’s Fleet, but now with a full-scale war about to break out, she must be responsible for Li Family’s soldiers.

And Li Changqing clearly understood that when the moment of full-scale war breaks out, all main forces will be tied down on the frontline, and City 10 may not await any real support.

This is what Qing Chen had said to Lao San, that they might be waiting not for reinforcements but for war.

…

…

Countdown to return 166:00:00.

It’s only been two hours since this latest crossing.

“Follow along!”

Iodophor was leading over six hundred Kunlun members through the streets.
