Chapter 1575: Chapter 849: Marquis Bolton’s Great Achievement

Return countdown 66:00:00.

6 o’clock in the morning.

The outpost base was in complete disarray, with the airplane runway cracked with countless gaps, resembling the broken feeling of a dried riverbed.

Those A-Class Airships that hadn’t managed to take off were crookedly stuck in the gaps, with minor nobles and soldiers hiding inside, not daring to move.

The sky gradually brightened, revealing bird carcasses everywhere on the ground of the outpost base, along with large wild boars shot down by the base.

Miserable, truly miserable.

The minor nobles confirmed there was no danger before they crawled out of the airships one by one, silently observing their surroundings.

A sense of “fortunate survival” arose in everyone’s hearts; thankfully, they were not dead!

But how did the outpost base manage to hold?

Just yesterday afternoon, ‘Marquis Bolton’ started maneuvering the airships, adjusting the hangar bay numbers, and everyone was complaining.

After all, they were fine at their original hangars, so why switch places? Wasn’t this just causing trouble?

It took about seven hours back then to complete all the hangar adjustments.

But during the attack in the early hours yesterday, if the A-Class Airships hadn’t taken off in time, if the combat-capable airships were destroyed one by one from the start, this base might truly have been overrun.

The places attacked by the Giant Dynasty were laid barren, and by then, everyone might not have survived.

If the outpost base had remained as the previous number 9 outpost, everyone would have become dust in history.

That was so damn close!

The minor nobles watched as the outpost base soldiers anesthetized, captured, and imprisoned six injured giants, cheering immediately.

Survival after the calamity!

At this moment, outside news came in: “Forward Base 6 has fallen; the Vanguard General ‘Kacha Yun’ of the Giant Dynasty led hundreds of giants to storm the base, destroying 90% of the airships, killing everyone inside, and capturing the base commander Marquis Sis and his family!”

Everyone looked at each other; without comparison, there is no joy.

They were attacked by the Giant Dynasty too, yet while the neighbor outpost fell, they could still stand here with gratitude.

This is happiness!

If it weren’t for Marquis Bolton, wouldn’t they have had the same outcome?!

Everyone would have to die!

Moreover, they initially thought that with the outpost base devastated like this, the merits Marquis Bolton just gained from anti-corruption would be gone, right?

But now, without comparison, there is no harm; similarly attacked, the neighbor couldn’t hold, but Marquis Bolton did, and even captured six giants, which is huge merit.

The minor nobles looked at each other, whispering together: “Marquis Bolton used to pretend to be a fool, everyone thought he was the silly Marquis, but who knew he was so formidable. I mean, the Fifth Princess is so remarkable, how could she like a pretty face? She must’ve discovered Marquis Bolton’s ability early on before deciding to marry him!”

“Yeah, the Fifth Princess manages violent agencies; how could she choose a pretty face? It was us who didn’t realize Marquis Bolton’s greatness earlier!”

Someone whispered: “Marquis Bolton’s future prospects are limitless, we need to cling to him now, or we’ll miss the chance once he rises to power.”

After capturing the giants, the outpost base soldiers hurried to Marquis’s Office.

At this moment, Bolton had just logged out from the Superconductor World, looking at Qing Chen: “Last night was amazing, White Light Person helped me level up, they even went to that Water Mage’s dungeon to play electric fish, and somehow the leveling was incredibly fast!”

Qing Chen smiled and said: “Congratulations on leveling up, my Lord Marquis.”

The curtains in the office were drawn at this moment, and Bolton hadn’t even seen what was happening outside.

Someone knocked on the door: “My Lord Marquis!”

“Come in, what’s the matter?” Marquis Bolton asked impatiently from the sofa.

The soldier outside excitedly said: “My Lord Marquis, you are truly incredible, all the nobles outside invite you to say a few words!”

Marquis Bolton was puzzled; I just leveled up from F to E in one night in the Superconductor World, although impressive, but not to the extent of saying a few words to everyone, right?

Your flattery isn’t even doing it properly!

Moreover, didn’t I just delete my account to start fresh, no one knows what name I use in Superconductor World now, who leaked the news?

Casually, Marquis Bolton replied: “This is hardly impressive; get lost, don’t disturb me for no reason.”

The soldier saluted with admiration; even at this moment, Lord Bolton remained so calm and so humble.

He silently exited the office, turned, and went to gossip with everyone.

…

…

Marquis Bolton looked at Qing Chen and smiled: “You’ll get used to it, as long as your status is high enough, everyone wants to flatter you.”

Qing Chen said nothing, silently opening the curtains.

Marquis Bolton continued: “Last night’s leveling was very joyful, those family members… hic!”

Halfway through the sentence, he saw the chaos outside and almost choked in shock.

His face was ghostly pale.

“What… what happened here?!” Marquis Bolton exclaimed in shock.

Qing Chen explained: “Last night the Giant Dynasty staged a surprise attack here… fortunately, you temporarily switched the airships’ positions yesterday afternoon, granting time for A-Class Airships to take off. Luckily, you ordered preemptive checks on the metal storm, preventing the base from being overrun by flocks of birds. There were originally half-empty ammunition compartments on the metal storm on the walls; without preemptive checks, the wild boars and bird flocks would have been enough to annihilate us.”
