Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1381: Chapter 758: Parents’ Meeting Performance Metrics—Catching Spies!

At night, the Jindai Mansion, once coveted by the residents of City 20, was now ablaze with fierce flames.

A floating ship, snapped in half, lay pressed on the main building in the estate, and crucially, the ship was equipped with weapons.

The battle was over, and the Jindai Guard Troops were both rescuing and lamenting that tonight, the Master of Daytime didn’t even show his face; just by sending a troop of shadows, he made the Jindai stronghold sleepless.

The key point is, you never know when he’ll strike next, or where he’ll shoot his cold mortars the next time.

Thinking of this, the teeth of the garrison troops began to ache; others only shoot cold guns, but this Shadow Troop’s ’cold mortars’ are a bit over the top.

Considering the ability to hit at an extreme range of 7 kilometers with mortars, who the hell would dare sleep in the garrison camp?

The range of a sniper rifle isn’t even this long!

In this era, it’s rare to see such old-fashioned individual mortars on the battlefield; too primitive, everyone uses AI-driven motors for aiming now.

Yet, someone managed to play with this thing so well.

Thinking from another perspective, the garrison troops thought that during recruit training, even hitting 3 kilometers with an old-fashioned mortar was quite challenging, barely passing.

Now, hitting 7 kilometers is like child’s play, but how many personnel would it take to enforce martial law within a 7-kilometer area?

Moreover, the problem is, these old-style individual mortars can be carried by one person, and they can simply open a window in a residential building and fire at you, leaving you gone on the spot.

So, this means the Jindai Guard Troops have to scatter into the city, engage in guerilla warfare with the Parents’ Meeting...

If everyone lived together and got hit by a mortar, the consequences would be too terrifying.

Someone muttered softly, ”Having to hide from others on our own turf, this is too ridiculous. Why is Deer Island unaffected? Is Deer Island colluding with that Qing Chen?”

Someone replied softly, ”Probably not, I just heard some news that the Deer Island heir died, killed by Qing Chen in the Outer World, and they’re preparing for a funeral. Yet, this dude didn’t even cross the body back, died without a burial, and could only make a clothes-based tomb.”

”Oh, Deer Island’s next Family Head died? Then it’s fine...”

Everyone was miserable, but suddenly felt a great sense of balance in their hearts.

In fact, the reason why Qing Chen didn’t make Deer Island a main target is because he now barely regards Deer Island.

Currently, Deer Island’s plan to acquire an aerial fortress has failed.

Demigod Li Bingxi is dead.

Heir Li Yunze is dead.

Rumors even abound these days that the position of Deer Island Family Head is cursed; whoever assumes the position dies.

Others say it’s not a curse, but a particularly vicious organization that specializes in assassinating Deer Island Family Heads.

To be honest, Qing Chen and Shadow weren’t fixated on killing Deer Island Family Heads; these two came knocking on their own.

Now, Deer Island probably doesn’t even know who to propose as the Family Head, with six internal factions fighting daily till their brains were almost blown out.

Pressuring them now would instead promote unity among them; it’s better to let them fight a little longer among themselves, perhaps without Qing Chen’s intervention, Deer Island would be gone anyway.

Such a weak consortium naturally would be targeted by Li’s Family and Qing’s Family, without Qing Chen needing to fret over it.

...

Today is the Outer World Federation calendar 4.25, early morning.

Return countdown 92:00:00.

On the battlefield front line, light rain began to fall from the sky, as an A-Class floating ship landed on the vast deck of the Kingdom Air Fortress.

Afterward, the aerial fortress lifted its security restrictions, and tens of B-Class floating ships slowly descended from the sky.

All the floating ships bore the Jindai Consortium’s snowy mountain emblem, and the Jindai Family Master traveled with particular caution.

It seemed no one wanted to repeat Jindai Yasuhito’s folly again.

In wind and rain, the mountain-like aerial fortress remained immovable, with the Jindai air fleet before this leviathan seeming like a dozen fireflies in the giant’s palm.

Currently, in Federation’s spring, the rain curtain dripped incessantly, and overhead were dark clouds.

The door of the A-Class floating ship opened, and the Jindai Family Master walked down with a solemn face, wearing a black samurai outfit, and the clogs underfoot creaked on the deck.

He had already received news from City 20, so he knew his home was gone.

Currently, with Qing Chen leading the Parents’ Meeting, they have become increasingly excessive, reaching a level that cannot be ignored.

Only months ago, Qing Chen was nothing more than a PCA Central Intelligence Agency intelligence head, a role that consortium heads didn’t even regard.

Unexpectedly, within the subsequent months, such a ’small character’ repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on them and forced the Corps Army to be unable to move south.

This time, the Jindai Family Master planned to conspire with the Kingdom and the Future Organization to see how to counterattack.

The powerful nation on the Forbidden Sea Coast should have a solution.

However, just as the Jindai Family Master entered the cabin of the aerial fortress, he felt the atmosphere was unusually solemn.

He whispered to a Time Traveler beside him, ”You know English, ask them what’s wrong, why do they all look like their mothers just died.”

Relying on the others’ inability to understand his language, the Jindai Family Master, although superficially respectful, showed no respect in his words.

The Time Traveler ran to investigate and shortly returned in shock, ”Something big happened.”
