Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1566: Chapter 846: Shocking Change at the Outpost Base

The outpost is currently in a state of assembly and standby.

Blue Mountain and the Crimson Blood Team inside Kennedy No.1 are also waiting for the Duke of Storm City to arrive.

At this moment, aside from the Third Division, the other units will have to wait for the Duke of Storm City to arrive before they can move out.

Qing Chen stood in the shadow of the office building and said to the captain of the Fire Line Team, ”Wait a moment, let’s act after night falls at the outpost, the impact will be smaller then.”

The Fire Line Team cast a surprised glance at Qing Chen, thinking it was odd that someone who was just about to ”deal with” all the officers at the outpost was now concerned about the impact.

...

...

Inside Storm City.

Da Yu looked unhappily at the LCD screen in front of him, which showed the route drawn by Qing Chen and today’s assassination target.

Not only that, the LCD screen recorded seven targets, all barons or city administrators.

One per day, the plans and routes were all set, Da Yu only needed to execute them.

The baron targeted today would visit a widow’s home on a fixed day each week.

This widow had purchased a pinhole camera, which was connected to the civilian network and was discovered by Yi.

Da Yu just needed to kill the baron, then someone would investigate the assassination, and this extremely covert camera, not part of the Skynet System, would be discovered.

In essence, even after Qing Chen left, he still had to constantly create alibis for himself, pulling the Arbiter Organization’s attention toward Storm City.

What Da Yu needed to do was cover for Qing Chen.

But the more brainless the operation seemed, the more dissatisfied Da Yu felt, making him feel like a mere tool.

The key issue was that he initially painted the portrait of Qing Chen to humiliate him, so how did it turn out that he now seemed to be cooperating with Qing Chen’s plans by painting it?

Where exactly did things start to go wrong?

...

...

Time passed minute by minute until the sky gradually darkened.

Qing Chen said to the Fire Line Team, ”Go catch them, I’ll stay here.”

”Oh? You’re not stepping in?” The captain asked, puzzled.

Qing Chen smiled and said, ”You should arrest them in the name of Marquis Bolton, and it’s better that you gain the spotlight. If I’m correct, Captain, you should be promoted to Baron soon, right? The primary credit goes to Marquis Bolton, secondary to you. I just need a bit of this reflected glory.”

”Don’t you want such a big credit?” wondered the Fire Line Team. This was not what they expected; such significant credit was not just a simple promotion to citizen level 9, it could very likely earn a commendation from the King, elevating one to citizen level 3!

”The better Marquis Bolton does, the better you do, the better I do, right,” Qing Chen laughed, ”I’m not being selfless, it’s about choosing my battles. Don’t worry, I won’t regret it; I’m very clear-headed.”

This Fire Line Team is close to the Fifth Princess, and the real power is in her hands, so it’s crucial for Qing Chen to maintain good relations with them.

Moreover, is credit really that important to Qing Chen? He has plenty of ways to earn it. Does the first below Demigod need to be greedy for a little credit?

The most crucial outpost is already under his control. The Fire Line Team needs to train, and Marquis Bolton wants to play in the Superconductor World; then it’s all up to him.

To take the outpost without bloodshed, openly assesses the military strength of the West Continent, that is Qing Chen’s interest.

His Asian identity impossible makes him the commander of the Central Royal City’s guard, but Marquis Bolton can, and the intelligence he can’t access, Marquis Bolton can.

Qing Chen is now the number one spy from the Eastern Continent in the West Continent, helping Bolton is helping himself.

The Fire Line Team acted.

Below the floating airship Kennedy No.1, Black was chatting with the second steward of the base, both holding a cigar in their hands, looking particularly relaxed.

Black said in a low voice, ”Thanks to you this time, otherwise I’d have to find a way after entering the battlefield.”

The second steward laughed, ”Don’t worry, back then we supported each other on the battlefield to walk out of the Taboo Forest, what can equal such camaraderie? This No.9 forward base is our home ground, arranging for someone to be cannon fodder is no big deal. As long as they’re not one of the four major Dukes’ men, they can be arranged at will.”

As the saying goes, it’s easier to deal with Yama than little ghosts. This second steward is much like a little ghost, having set up many people as cannon fodder over the years, some of whom were even small nobles unwilling to be blackmailed by him.

”Marquis Bolton won’t find out?” Black worriedly asked.

The second steward took a drag of his cigar, ”Don’t worry, the Marquis is busy fishing in the Superconductor World, he doesn’t have time for us. Now in this outpost, it’s not what Marquis Bolton says that goes, but what we say.”

”Impressive,” Black’s eyes were filled with envy.

Though it’s difficult to earn credit in this outpost, the officers returning to the city from here are all invisible millionaires.

It was at this moment that the Fire Line Team suddenly appeared beside Kennedy No.1.

Seeing them, the second steward immediately became more courteous, ”What brings you here?”

The captain smiled and pulled out a cigarette, ”Got a light?”

”Yes,” the second steward took a lighter out of his pocket, leaned in to light it, and while lighting it, he introduced to Black, ”These gentlemen here are under the Fifth Princess...”

While lighting the cigarette, the captain of the Fire Line Team took a puff, and then two team members, while the second steward was unguarded, attacked from both sides and broke his two shinbones.
