Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1682: Chapter 888: Though Ten Thousand Stand in My Way, I Go Forward

2 a.m.

Only two hours have passed since the time travel, yet so much has already happened.

In the woods, Qing Chen was holding onto Lao Er, Lao Si, Lao Liu, Lao Qi, and Eighth Brother, searching for Lao Wu, Lao Jiu, and Lao Shiyi.

The six were shouting loudly in the night: “Lao Wu, Lao Jiu, Lao Shiyi, where are you?”

Their voices echoed eerily in the deserted woods.

But before Qing Chen found anyone, he saw the airships abruptly abandon their pretense and simultaneously head back to Silver City.

Watching the airships sweep overhead, Qing Chen felt the plot was diverging from his expectations!

He quickly climbed to the treetop to look far away.

The people on the ground, under his control, each found a big tree to look towards Silver City.

Lao Er cursed inwardly, thinking, “He’s already controlling us with puppeteer strings, yet he’s being so humane. One person enjoying the show is bad enough, but dragging us along too?”

But soon, Lao Er stopped cursing.

The other Black Knights had the same thought: shock.

As they climbed the treetops, they happened to witness the distant scene of Boss He creating a rainbow that pierced through the sky.

A shooting star fell.

Eighty kilometers away, the straight white light fell, piercing through the Silver Star Sky Fortress.

The white light was so unique that Qing Chen had never seen it before, but he knew it must be He Jinqiu.

He must have broken through and reached the aerial fortress!

In the past, aerial fortresses were the nemesis of demigods.

Once a demigod was locked on by the fortress’s main firepower gun on the ground, a sudden saturation attack could cover a radius of five kilometers, within which even a hundred demigods would perish.

Thus, all demigods would avoid direct confrontation with aerial fortresses.

Uncle Li was no exception.

Chen Yu was no exception.

No one could be an exception.

But now, He Jinqiu had broken through overnight and rewritten the legendary invincibility of aerial fortresses!

Wait.

Suddenly, Qing Chen began to ponder.

If Boss He just wanted a way out, he wouldn’t have needed to fight to the death against the aerial fortress.

And that aerial fortress had already left the city center, heading straight toward us…

In a flash, Qing Chen understood the cause and effect: the Silver City Duke had already learned the truth and was resolutely deploying the aerial fortress to annihilate him.

And the first thing Boss He did after leaving the dungeon was to help him intercept this magnificent aerial fortress.

And he really did it!

Qing Chen’s heart was filled with excitement but quickly turned to worry.

He knew clearly that even if Boss He had broken through, there was no way one person could fight against a city.

Even if the aerial fortress fell, there were still hundreds of airships returning.

There is a limit to human strength; one person cannot be an enemy of the entire world.

Qing Chen wasn’t belittling Boss He, but rather analyzing the situation objectively to make the most correct choice for himself.

On the battlefield, with thousands of troops, a city’s foes, there were no friends.

Only Qing Chen and Boss He.

If he went, and if Boss He was exhausted, they might both die together.

So, should he really go to the battlefield?

This was the choice Qing Chen had to make.

Is it worth it? He initially planned to save Boss He, but the result might be that both of them would die there, which seemed a bit unwise.

Boss He didn’t want Qing Chen to rescue him for precisely this concern.

But…

If life is only about calculating worth, then it’s already lost.

Qing Chen laughed, turned to Lao Er on the neighboring treetop, and said: “I know you must’ve thought earlier: you bragging kid, if you could only live to 40 like us, you’d choose to possess someone else too. I won’t argue that, because I’ve never faced such a predicament, so even if I speak till I’m blue in the face, it wouldn’t be persuasive.”

“Yeah, who isn’t afraid to die?”

“But now I want you to see how Knights from the Eastern Continent differ from you. To see firsthand what it means to live fiercely for a moment, worth more than a hundred years of survival!”

Though there are a thousand enemies, I shall go forth.

In the next moment, Qing Chen leapt from the treetop with Lao Er and the others, rushing madly towards the battlefield.

He had no more reservations, swiftly killing all ground enemies he encountered along the way.

Lao Er and the others, under his control, kept urging the Autumn Leaf Knife.

The entire team was like a bulldozer, fueled up with diesel, rumbling towards Silver City.

Qing Chen, with five A-Class String Puppets and one A-Class Shadow, was truly wielding the puppeteer taboo to its ceiling level.

Even the Puppeteer was exhilarated; its previous hosts had never controlled so many A-Class experts!

Never had they fought a war so rich!

Compared to Qing Chen, those past hosts were nothing but trash…

At this moment, Lao Er and Lao Si, Lao Liu, and others cursed wildly in their hearts: “Brother, do you know how many are on that side? That’s the entire Silver City army. Now that the aerial fortress is breached, not only is the air fleet coming, but the Land Group Army will also assemble quickly.”

That’s twenty thousand strong!

Brother, even if you’ve gone mad, don’t drag us to death together!

Lao Liu screamed inwardly, the troops swiftly assembled by the Drama Master were arriving soon. The battlefield wouldn’t just have Silver City’s forces, please don’t make us go back to die!

Also, brother, if you want to use the method of spurring the Autumn Leaf Knife with Knight Vital Energy, can you at least pick up some leaves?
