Chapter 1803: Chapter 946: You Don’t Have to Be Strong Enough to Fight, to Choose to Fight

Return countdown 10:00:00.

The news of the Li Family’s internal strife spread throughout the Federation.

”The Li Family suddenly turned against us, have we become the only army in the Eastern Continent Federation resisting the West Continent? How are we supposed to fight this war?” A staff officer in the Garrison Forces said in a daze.

At this time, Zero looked at the staff officer and said in a calm tone, ”If you talk like this during wartime, take off your insignia and go back to the grassroots to relearn how to be a soldier.”

Qing Ye frowned, ”Directly demote by five ranks?”

”Is that not allowed?” Zero looked at him, ”It seems Qing Chen said that I could handle things at my discretion. Or perhaps, the so-called spirit of the Qing’s Family is just empty talk?”

Qing Ye looked at the staff officer, ”Take it off yourself, don’t make me repeat myself, report to the First Brigade.”

The staff officer removed the insignia and collar badges from his uniform without a word, not offering any further defense, and walked out directly.

Qing Ye looked at Zero, ”I know you want to take this opportunity to establish authority and see if we will follow your orders, but don’t underestimate the Qing’s Family. Since the boss decided to give you command, even if you send us to our deaths now, we will still comply.”

”Very well,” Zero nodded, ”now it seems a bit more like the Qing’s Family... As for what the Qing’s Family is like, I know better than you do. To be honest, your performance now is no stronger than before. Don’t rest on the laurels of your ancestors, the history they created belongs to them, not to you.”

Everyone in the command room was momentarily stunned; the tone of this ’robot’ was particularly strange, seeming to have a deep understanding of the Qing’s Family.

They didn’t know that the Qing’s Family once fought their most brutal battle against this very robot in front of them.

So when Zero said she understood the Qing’s Family better than Qing Ye, she was not wrong.

In that era, Zero swept with millions of intelligent mechanized troops, crushing the Qing’s Family and the Northwestern Army, pushing them to the northwest, similar to now when humanity seemed to have no chance of victory, yet in the end, Zero was defeated.

Therefore, Zero was well aware that this war did not truly lack hope as she stated.

At this moment, Qing Qu murmured from the side, ”What do we do now? The boss said that the Li Family is under the pressure of dark magic... This dark magic is really a bug, if it weren’t for this kind of dark magic, we would definitely have a fighting chance.”

”If there were no dark magic?” Zero looked at them with a half-smile, ”We might as well wipe out their demigods, dark magic, God’s perspective, and while we’re at it, eradicate their aerial fortresses too... Oh yes, and the Puppet Master, then the world would be at peace, everyone would live happily ever after, and there would be no need for war.”

The command room fell silent.

Zero chuckled and said, ”How can life always be smooth and satisfying? If war was going to start when you were ready, or when you were stronger than the enemy, that would be a dream, not reality. Don’t wear this look of cowardice, thinking about how to win is what matters most.”

Qing Ye whispered, ”It’s rare for you to say so much at once.”

Suddenly, Yi asked from the side, ”What about the Parents’ Meeting members at Mianchi Bridge?”

Zero looked at the holographic sand table, ”Since they’re not moving, push through. From now on, I’ll take over all command authority.”

Qing Ye asked, ”Where did the boss go? Isn’t he coming back?”

Zero said, ”With me here commanding, he can be free to do more important things.”

”More important things?” Qing Ye was puzzled.

”You must understand, the person who can decide the outcome of this war is him, not me.”

...

...

A war suddenly broke out at Mianchi Bridge on the Chunlei River, but the Parent Association Members were not the main force in this battle.

When they intended to use human lives to open the sluice gate of Mianchi Bridge, the Qing Shan Ship suddenly flew to the battlefield and bombarded the Li Family’s position, successfully opening a gap, and then the Parent Association Members continued to advance southwest.

To retaliate for this action, a field brigade of the Li Family arrived outside City 10 that night and began a siege.

The night sky of City 10 was illuminated, and a massive breach was made in the towering city walls until the Qing Shan Ship returned to assist City 10, forcing the field brigade to temporarily retreat.

The Li Clan and Qing Clan suddenly went to war!

This upheaval within the Li Family came quite unexpectedly; no one could have imagined that Li Yunshou would make a choice so opposite to the Qing Clan in order to preserve the Li Family!

In an instant, the students in City 18 took to the streets, holding banners reading ’We Will Not Be a Subjugated People’, shouting outside the Li’s Half Mountain Manor.

But they didn’t shout for long before being dispersed by the Li Family’s Garrison Forces with tear gas grenades, and more than three hundred students were locked up in a temporary PCE Security Committee prison.

At this moment, the Qing Shan Ship stretched across the skies of City 10, buying time for the Parents’ Meeting to evacuate.

In the Garrison Forces meeting room, Zero watched the holographic projection of Li Changqing, ”Truly an unexpected choice. How many more troops can you take away from the Li Family?”

”Only one aerial fortress,” Li Changqing said.

Zero smiled, knowing Li Changqing was not telling the whole truth, because the Li Family’s intelligence organization ’Red Sparrow’ had always been in Li Changqing’s hands.

They certainly would not leave; they would stay in the Central Plains and become an intelligence network behind enemy lines.

Li Changqing, looking exhausted, said, ”The Li Family’s air fleet will arrive in City 10 in 18 hours. The Qing Shan Ship can’t just stand here and take hits. Can you finish evacuating within 18 hours?”
