Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1806: Chapter 947: A Patch of Dark Clouds

In the northern night sky, hundreds of floating airships from Silver City and Storm City were swiftly flying southward.

The signal lights on each ship’s hull were neatly and orderly arranged.

A night raid that dismantled the northern military forces of the Jindai Consortium remained intact, as if it hadn’t just emerged from a war.

Too easy.

Inside the flagship of Silver City, the newly appointed Black Knights were laughing, ”We originally thought coming to the Eastern Continent would result in a fierce battle, but it ended up being so easy.”

”It was too simple, with just one salvo, the opponent was completely wiped out.”

The Silver Duke looked coldly at the holographic sand table in front of him, ”Don’t think this battle was easy and let your guard down. Our intelligence network has not yet infiltrated the entire Eastern Continent. The southern and southwestern military deployments remain unclear, and hard battles will await us.”

The Black Knights straightened their expressions, ”Understood.”

The second knight asked, ”Next, we head straight for City 10 to the south? Along the way, there are two more cities. Do we ignore them?”

”And what about the north? We conquered it, shouldn’t we also reap the spoils of war?” the fourth knight questioned.

Bear in mind, once a city is conquered, its gold, jewels, women, and slaves become ownerless.

The Black Knights were eager for the spoils in the six northern cities and weren’t eager to head south.

However, the Silver Duke was a royal death warrior who had taken over Lao Shi’s position. How could he fail to grasp priorities at such a time? His existence was to extract the last ounce of value from Silver City.

The Silver Duke said coldly, ”It’s not yet time to share the spoils of war. After this battle, there will be everything you desire. Remember, a month ago, you were just ordinary knight apprentices. Now, you’re marquises, isn’t that enough?”

The Black Knights remained silent.

”Remember,” the Silver Duke said, ”Our target is only Joker.”

As Jindai Yunlo had guessed, this expedition was indeed rushed, and the two fleets heading south hadn’t left themselves any retreat.

Without supply lines or ground forces coordination, the two fleets plunged in alone: while over eighty A-class nuclear-powered airships could support such a long-distance operation, the remaining ordinary airships could not.

Reaching City 10 was basically the limit for the two fleets.

The reason they made such a decision was because the Puppet Master had arrived in the Western Continent and informed the Duke of Storm City about everything Qing Chen was currently doing.

The Roosevelt Kingdom could not let Qing Chen unite the Eastern Continent Federation again.

From the Western Continent’s perspective, as long as Joker’s power was destroyed, the empire’s expedition would be half-successful.

But at this moment, a suspicious target was suddenly found inside the airship, and the red dot representing the target actually overlapped with their fleet.

Everyone turned abruptly to the holographic sand table, where there stood a young man in white hunting clothes on an Azure Dragon, gazing at the starry sky!

The chilling winds in the sky blew his white robe, making the young man appear invincible as he overlapped with the full moon.

Beside him stood a petite woman in a white robe, with a white hood over her head, obscuring her face. Only her delicate, sharp chin was visible.

The Silver Duke’s heart trembled suddenly.

During the battle of Silver City, this death warrior who had taken over Lao Shi’s position was not present, but they had watched the entire battle unfold through satellite-modeled holographic imagery.

He Jinqiu had stood in the sky like this, gazing at the stars, and when he lowered his head, he had instantly pierced through the Silver Star Sky Fortress!

So when the Silver Duke saw this young man’s stance, he almost thought it was that Sword Immortal who had once again pierced through the Silver Star Sky Fortress!

If it was really him returning, all of his plans would become illusions!

He looked back and found that the newly appointed Black Knights were so frightened their knees buckled... These people had witnessed He Jinqiu’s massacre firsthand.

”A bunch of trash, not even as good as your useless masters,” the Silver Duke snorted coldly as he looked carefully, recognizing the man on the Azure Dragon, ”It’s not He Jinqiu, it’s Jindai Yunlo, an A-level Onmyoji daring to stand in the way of our fleet.”

In an instant, a third of the fleet’s drone swarm buzzed out, swarming towards Jindai Yunlo like a hive.

At this moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon leapt from Azure Dragon’s back beside Jindai Yunlo.

She sped up like a meteor, the white robe billowing in the whistling wind.

The drone swarm formed a mass like mosquitoes in the summer night air, but the Hundred-Eyed Demon completely ignored them, weaving through them!

A booming sound was heard as the drones she crashed through exploded, turning into bursts of fire in the night sky!

Before this, there were people like Qing Chen who used electromagnetic pulses to destroy drones, or individuals like Yangyang who crushed drones with force fields, and even He Boss who shredded all drones in an instant.

However, this was the first time someone completely ignored the drones’ damage and charged through the midst of them.

Inside the airship, the Silver Duke watched as the Hundred-Eyed Demon, who had breached the drone swarm, was already nearing the fleet’s upper airspace.

He calmly commanded, ”Open the fire chamber, kill it with tracking missiles.”

Yet the next moment, the combat personnel in the command room shouted loudly, ”Your Grace, we can’t lock onto it with our missiles!”
