Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1619: Chapter 864: Black Knights Battalion 2

Soon, the frontline delivered disastrous news: the Storm Group Army launched a volley that flattened the newly rebuilt Outpost Base No. 6, pulverizing everyone inside!

Marquis Bolton, who had just made his name in the Kingdom, was gone just like that.

Gone too soon!

The Storm Group Army did not linger there but swiftly advanced toward Outpost Base No. 5.

Everyone knew… the Duke of Storm had betrayed them!

This caused widespread panic, as the armies of Black Water City and Phoenix City were not all stationed at the outpost bases.

These two armies took turns entering the Taboo Forest to fight the Giant Dynasty.

Currently, the Black Water City Corps was stationed at the outpost base, while the Phoenix City Group Army had been in the Taboo Forest for a long time, making retreat impossible!

The Duke of Storm seemed to have timed it perfectly, knowing the Phoenix City Group Army couldn’t return in time, thus creating an opportunity to confront Black Water City one-on-one!

Moreover, some clever individuals realized that the Duke of Storm intended to open Outpost Base No. 5, not for the meager relay supplies, but to wipe out a quarter of the Kingdom’s main forces, allowing the Giant Dynasty to invade without worrying about any rear threats.

The troops behind Outpost Base No. 5 were rapidly assembling, no one expected this internal war to erupt so suddenly.

The cause seemed to be merely… a word from the giants?

…

Dozens of kilometers outside Outpost Base No. 6, more than seventy people stood in stunned silence, looking at their own base.

From a distance, they saw the Storm Aerial Fortress suddenly arrive and unleash a volley on their base, followed by a towering blaze…

All seventy people were B-Class Genetic Warriors called in by Qing Chen, along with He Jinqiu, Qing Chen, and Bolton.

They were there at He Jinqiu’s suggestion to hunt wild boars and beasts for food, but before they could find any beasts, their home was destroyed!

They peered through the treetops at the distant flames, and Marquis Bolton was dumbfounded: “How could this happen? My Third Division… my outpost base!”

Some things are only cherished after they’re lost; Bolton used to look at the battered outpost base and grumble.

But even a tattered base was better than a vast expanse of scorched earth!

Bolton felt his marquis position was the unluckiest, as no one else had even started fighting, and they hadn’t even found the shadow of a giant, yet he had already endured three giant attacks and then been bombed by his own people.

Clearly, gathering the Kingdom’s strength for an expedition, yet he seemed to be fighting more battles than everyone else combined…

Marquis Bolton turned again and held He Jinqiu’s hand: “Thanks to your suggestion, otherwise we would’ve all perished in the base. You’re as wise as the founding Emperor of the Roosevelt Kingdom! That old scoundrel Duke of Storm, I’ve long seen his treacherous intent. Far too despicable!”

He Jinqiu silently glanced at Qing Chen; it was Qing Chen who asked him to make that suggestion. At the time, he didn’t know why Qing Chen suddenly wanted to leave the outpost base with Bolton. Now he finally understood — Qing Chen had foreseen the Duke of Storm’s betrayal!

Strange.

He Jinqiu used to think Qing Chen was merely intelligent, with high combat talent, high cultivation talent, and an unyielding character, already possessing many virtues.

But he never imagined that Qing Chen had grown to this extent, seemingly possessing a foresight and an ability to avoid danger.

So wise, it’s almost supernatural!

This is how many in the Eastern Continent Federation described the Qing Family Ancestor ‘Qing Zhen’, and the Qing’s Family has always easily produced such prodigies.

Some say it’s due to the good genes of the Qing’s Family, some say Qing Zhen’s bloodline is as extraordinary as Transcendents, so every century there will be such a figure in the Qing’s Family.

He Jinqiu used to think Qing Zhun was the prodigy of this generation of the Qing’s Family, but now he wondered if it was possible for two such prodigies to appear at once?

At least now, Qing Chen made him feel very uneasy, because he knew, even with the same information, he absolutely couldn’t predict the Duke of Storm’s plan.

Marquis Bolton asked, “What do we do now?”

Qing Chen said, “The first thing you need to do, Marquis Bolton, is report the situation to the Kingdom. At the very least, let the Fifth Princess know you’re safe, or you’ll become a ghost without an identity.”

“Oh, right, right, my wife must be worried sick now,” Marquis Bolton said, “I’ll go make a call.”

With that, he took out a satellite phone and walked aside.

He Jinqiu lowered his voice and asked, “Since you guessed the Duke of Storm would betray, you must have guessed what he’ll do next, right?”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and replied, “I guess he wants to open the breach at Outpost Base No. 5 to let the beast army of the Giant Dynasty in. I can imagine thousands upon thousands of giants charging out of the Taboo Forest.”

In fact, the number of giants has always been small; their reproduction rate is slow, taking three years to give birth to one child, much like the birth of Nezha.

In previous years, when the Roosevelt Army fought the giants, a saying always circulated: ‘Giants under ten thousand are not to be feared, but over ten thousand are invincible.’

Although the technological strength of the Roosevelt Army was superior, the giant army had an average B-Class, with each possessing unique racial talents. In battle, they were covered with rare and exotic beasts, fiercely formidable.

Therefore, if the Giant Dynasty allied with the Storm Group Army, their combat power would be more ferocious than imagined.
