Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1932 - 992: The Final Journey (Part 4)

”No need to say anymore, I’ve already heard all this. Is there anything new?” the voice asked.

Lu Yuan said, ”Right now, more than two hundred thousand orcs are approaching Southwest City No. 5...”

In the Taboo Land, someone said irritably, ”Stop talking about these useless things. We’ve agreed with Ren Xiaosu not to leave the Taboo Land No. 001 and cannot interfere in human affairs outside the Taboo Land. Otherwise, why do you think we’re working so hard to expand the borders of Taboo Land No. 001?”

Lu Yuan and Ni Ergou exchanged glances, surprised that Ren Xiaosu and the spirits of the Northwestern Army had such an agreement?

Moreover, all these years the Taboo Land No. 001 has been expanding because these spirits cannot leave the Taboo Land and want to use it to cover the entire world?!

Lu Yuan asked in shock, ”Can everyone survive if they’re covered by this Taboo Land?”

”You don’t need to worry about this. This Taboo Land is ours, and we set the rules. When the time comes, we’ll forbid wars, murder, theft, and trafficking of women and children, so the world will be peaceful,” the voice laughed, ”Hahaha, Wang Shengzhi’s idea of judicial justice might finally be achieved in our hands!”

Zheng Yuandong said, ”I know about your agreement with Ren Xiaosu; it’s documented in the Observer archives. He’s worried you’ll affect the outside world by being immortal. But now with the nation in ruins, do we still have to adhere to that agreement?”

Silence fell in the Taboo Land.

A voice suddenly shouted, ”Where’s that Qing Chen kid? He robbed us before; why isn’t he here this time?”

Zheng Yuandong replied, ”He followed Ren Xiaosu’s path and hasn’t returned yet.”

...

...

An airship flew over the Forbidden Sea.

Qing Chen sat in the Fifth Princess, looking down at the LCD panel, ”This Fifth Princess is interesting; not only did she leave this airship, but she also summarized recent events on the Eastern Continent for me. Quite an investment from someone from the West Continent.”

Black Spider said, ”She knew she couldn’t kill you and would eventually be killed by you.”

Qing Chen pondered, ”How much do you know about Puppeteer Zong Cheng now? According to the Fifth Princess’s information, he controlled the Chen’s Consortium, but after I took the Chen Air Military Base, he went silent. How did I evaluate him before my memory loss?”

Black Spider said, ”Before your memory loss, you considered him one of your biggest enemies, and he was also the one who killed your sister-in-law.”

”My brother, my sister-in-law,” Qing Chen contemplated, ”Is the person in the documents named Qing Zhun?”

”Yes,” Black Spider asked, ”Boss, have you remembered anything?”

”This name feels familiar, but I still can’t recall anything about him,” Qing Chen said.

Black Spider felt a pang in her heart. Now Qing Zhun has assimilated with the world, and memories of Qing Zhun are increasingly sparse. What if Qing Chen never remembers his brother?

Just then, they arrived at the East Continent Coastline, but suddenly the Fifth Princess sounded an alarm!

”Anti-air missiles,” Black Spider said.

She maneuvered the airship to deploy decoy missiles, resolving the missile crisis, and then retaliated by firing two missiles to flatten the Chen’s coastal defenses.

Black Spider reported, ”Don’t worry, boss. The Fifth Princess’s firepower is strong; regular anti-air systems can’t do much against it.”

Qing Chen pondered, ”How many more attacks can it withstand?”

Black Spider said, ”Five times.”

Qing Chen nodded, ”Once it’s out of ammunition, let it land. I intend to journey on foot to the southwest.”

Black Spider was puzzled, ”The Fifth Princess has sufficient fuel...”

Qing Chen smiled, ”Its current flying speed isn’t even as fast as my running pace... Besides, I’ve reviewed the information the Fifth Princess provided, and I’d like to walk the path the Parents’ Meeting took.”

...

...

Inside the command vehicle, a combat staff officer was quickly reporting, ”The Parents’ Meeting successfully ambushed four times, eliminating a total of four thousand orc soldiers. But during subsequent attacks, signs of a pupsuggesters troop imminent ambush were detected; our unit suspects a Drama Master among the orcs... Currently, the Parents’ Meeting has withdrawn from the battlefield, casualties almost negligible.”

Zero shook its head, ”I hope your future reports will no longer use terms like ’casualties almost negligible.’ I know humans are very brave, but in every war fought in the name of defense, each individual deserves to be remembered... Is there a problem with me saying this because, coming from an artificial intelligence, it sounds strange?”

Someone quietly said, ”It is indeed strange...”

Zero chuckled, ”Don’t mind it, I’m just interacting with you in your own manner. Where’s Qing Yu? Have him come see me.”

The command vehicle stopped and Qing Yu, who supposed to have perished along with Scepter No., appeared at the door.

At the last moment, using the same method as Duke of Storm City, they evacuated using the Key of Gate.

However, only a small group evacuated. Those fighter jet crew members, airship crew members, and Qing Clan Soldiers who died on Scepter No. would never return.

Qing Yu looked somewhat downcast.

Zero asked, ”The Qing Air Force Fleet’s mission was very successful this time, opening the path for the upcoming war. Issue orders for the Army of the Qing Family to split into seven groups as planned. If I’m right, Duke of Storm City’s orcs will also split into seven groups, advancing south from seven routes to prevent us from using tactical nuclear weapons to perish together again. Everyone, prepare for a tough battle.”

Zero continued on the communication channel, ”Qing Ye, take half the Shadow Troop and advance north on route A1 to engage; Qing Qu, merge your remaining Shadow troops with the Army and advance north on route A2; Li Changqing, Li Su, join the 183rd Field Brigade and advance north on route A3...”

Orders were issued, and Qing Yu found that the Qing Clan Forces had entirely mobilized!

He asked in confusion, ”You’ve planned well, but no matter which group they are, none can face an orc army numbering three to four thousand on their own. Even sending the Shadow Troop would mean sending them to their deaths.”

Zero calmly said, ”Execute.”

The Qing Clan Forces began moving, and everyone realized this was the final battle!
