Chen Yu slowly looked at the other party: "I don't need to teach you the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold,' do I? The Li family has just surrendered to the Western Continent. If the Qing family also collapses, we will lose our land to live on. Do you expect me to lead you to an island to become islanders?"
“Understood,” the commander said, bowing his head.
No one noticed that Chen Yu's attendant was smiling as he watched the Divine Era Cloud Luo on the holographic sand table beckon to him...
Within the Chen family, the Chen Yu lineage, acting as the retired emperor, has always firmly controlled the military power and economic lifeline of the entire family. Even the head of the family can only be a puppet under their oppression.
Therefore, the two aerial fortresses of the Chen family have always been under the control of Chen Yu, and even the puppeteers cannot obtain them.
Previously, news of Chen Yu's death spread rapidly, and the head of the Chen family appealed to everyone to unite and overcome the difficulties together, which almost shook the resolve of Chen Yu's soldiers.
At this moment, Qing Chen returned with Chen Yu. Instead of going anywhere else, he rode the green ox directly to the aerial fortress!
This is the most important thing!
Qing Chen had previously considered gouging out Chen Yu's eyeballs to enhance the power of the Hundred-Eyed Demon.
But how could a pair of eyes compare to Chen Yu himself? How could he possibly do something like buying the box and returning the pearl?
With Chen Yu around, the Chen family belongs to him.
So, this is what Zero meant when he said: Qingchen went to do something more important.
In the past, Qing Chen would rob forbidden items; now he robs aerial fortresses... But where is the joy in robbing forbidden items compared to robbing aerial fortresses?
However, at that moment, a remote communication request came in, and the commander, seeing that it was from his own army base, answered it.
The holographic projection clearly showed the figure of the patriarch who was being controlled by the puppeteer. He looked at Chen Yu in the command seat and smiled as he said to everyone, "Do you really think that's Chen Yu?"
All the officers and soldiers in the air fortress were stunned. Who else could it be but Chen Yu?! Certain permissions in the air fortress could only be unlocked by Chen Yu himself using his iris scan, vital signs, and voiceprint simultaneously. What could possibly be wrong with that?
But then the head of the Chen family said with a smile, "Chen Yu is still alive, but he has been controlled by Qing Chen, the Lord of Daylight, using a puppet. If you look closely, you can see that Chen Yu and the person next to him both have an almost transparent silk thread wrapped around their wrists."
The soldiers instinctively turned their heads to look, only to hear their commander suddenly roar, "Bullshit! How dare you slander the boss! I think you're trying to spread rumors and seize control of the family! You've been spreading rumors about the boss's death all along, and now that you see him here, you still want to keep spreading lies!"
Puppeteer: "?"
You won't even glance at it?
At that moment, someone in the command room whispered, "It does seem like there is a thread."
But the commander drew his sidearm, raised his hand, and pulled the trigger, killing the soldier who had just spoken: "Anyone who questions the boss's identity will suffer the same fate!"
Puppeteer: "?"
At this moment, another soldier stood up, his smile identical to that of the Chen family head: "Don't you want to see for yourself? The silk thread is right there."
Bang.
The commander shot the soldier dead again: "Drag their bodies out of here!"
Chen family head: "?"
The commander suppressed his fear and turned to look at Chen Yu, only to see Chen Yu and his attendant looking at him with a half-smile.
At this moment, the commander was already cursing the head of the Chen family to the heavens in his mind...
If you're going to expose him, do it sooner rather than later.
Don't wait until Qingchen has already come in before you speak.
Now that you've said your piece, what are we supposed to do?
Isn't this just harming people?!
Could the entire fighting force of this aerial fortress be defeated by one hand? Qing Chen, who can control Chen Yu, must already be a knight demigod!
The commander cut off the communication and turned to Chen Yu, saying, "Boss, we absolutely will not believe his nonsense!"
"That's good," Chen Yu smiled and said, "Inform all members of the Chen family that I am still alive, and that this head of the Chen family is disregarding national and ethnic interests at a time when a great enemy is at hand, and is trying to provoke a civil war in the Federation, thus creating an opportunity for foreign enemies. I am now formally warning him to resign from his position as head of the family as soon as possible."
The commander nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I'll report it right away."
In fact, the Chen clan did not want a civil war in the Federation. A few days ago, when the Chen clan suddenly intended to launch a war against City 10 and the Qing clan in the southwest, disagreements arose within the army.
Now it's all good. No matter what happened to Chen Yu, he's back, and he doesn't have to fire on his own people... That's great.
The Gods began to reap the rewards of the battlefield, and Shindai Yunluo also landed next to the wreckage of the Silver City flagship, watching the Chen soldiers carry away the corpses from inside.
He waited with his hands tucked into his sleeves, like a college student waiting for roasted sweet potatoes on the street.
To his disappointment, the airship exploded upon crashing, and all the bodies inside were charred beyond recognition, leaving him with nothing.
Just then, several more figures came running on foot from the ground. Kong Yu and Yun Xiu sprinted as fast as they could, with Kong Yu shouting as he ran, "Shindai Yunluo, you come here and die!"
"Kamishiro Yunluo! You like playing the hero, don't you!"
"Kamishiro Yunluo! If you dare to do something like this again, see if I'll ever speak to you again!"
Kamishiro Unra was dumbfounded.
But then Kong Yu came up to him and punched him in the chest with a thud, almost making him gasp for breath.
Shindai Yunluo looked up at Yunxiu: "Stop them!"
"Serves you right," Yunxiu said, pursing her lips.
Kamishiro Unra: "...How did you guys get off the airship?! Didn't I set it to autopilot? It wouldn't stop until it reached City 5!"
“Yunxiu chopped the door open,” Kongyu said. “We jumped down using the escape parachute from the airship.”
Kamishiro Yunra hesitated for a long time before saying, "That's amazing..."
Kongyu stared intently at Shendai Yunluo: "Don't let me find out again that you still have the thought of dying alone!"
"Hey, speak to me more gently! Where did that gentle little girl go? What happened to you? Why did you suddenly become like this?" Kamishiro Yunlu complained. "Where is that gentle and obedient Kamishiro Kuuyu?"
Kong Yu sneered, "Shindai Yunluo, I've had enough of you! You always caused the biggest commotion when you stole the loquats, but you always blamed me for bringing them there. And those women were clearly only close to you because of your status, but you insist it's because you're charming! I'm warning you, if you keep fooling around with women, I'll kill you and all those women!"
Kamishiro Unra: "What crime have those women committed? Don't hurt those women!"
Kong Yu retorted angrily, "You know it's your problem, right?!"
"Hey, speak properly! I'm your big brother!"
"It won't be like that anymore!"
A smile played on Kamishiro Yunra's lips: "If it's not, then it's not."
As they were talking, stars suddenly twinkled in the distance. They turned to look and saw that Storm City's fleet had quietly arrived in the night.
However, what followed was not only the airships, but also the aerial fortress of the Age of Gods, the Yagi-no-Mae.
...
...
Inside the Yagi-class aerial fortress.
The soldiers of the Kamishiro era were busy at work, while Kamishiro Chika stood in the center of the command room with a gloomy expression, looking at the holographic sand table in front of her.
In the command seat sat a virtuoso dressed in a black robe.
Kamishiro Chika turned to look at the other person: "Why come to the south to take risks? It is very dangerous for an air fortress to go south alone. We should wait until I have prepared the air force before launching an attack."
The charlatan's face was hidden in the shadow of his hood: "What to do and when to do it are all up to us. Your birthday and even your hair are in our hands. Don't think that you can escape the judgment of fate by possessing another body."
Kaminari Chika fell silent. Back then, when he let the wolf into the house, he had entrusted almost everything to the Fate Master in order to prove his loyalty.
He originally thought that the judgment was based on the current body, and that as long as he possessed the body, he could break free from the other party's lock and the Arbiter's black magic.
The intelligence he acquired years ago when he was active in the Western Continent also said the same thing.
However, what they bought turned out to be false information.
As if guessing what Kamishiro Chika was thinking, the Fate Master laughed and said, "You underestimate fate. When that generation of King Roosevelt saw you, he also saw the day you would open the country's doors for us. The intelligence you bought with a lot of money was nothing more than what we sold to you."
Kamishiro Senka felt powerless. This group of fortune tellers were laying the groundwork, even on a century-long scale, making it impossible to guard against.
Like the Duke of Storms who kept his identity a secret for over forty years, or the Virtuoso who collected the birthdays and real names of the Black Knights, it's as if the other party is standing on the other side of fate, waiting for you to painstakingly swim across.
The Fate Master said, "Attack the aerial fortress ahead at all costs."
Chika Kamishiro looked at the Kamishiro soldiers: "Fire!"
...
...
The aerial fortresses encountered each other in the air.
"What do we do?" Kong Yu asked. "Fight?"
“Hyakume-ki has entered hibernation and will probably take several days to recover,” Kamishiro Unra said after thinking for a moment. “Why don’t we run away first?”
"Huh?" Kong Yu was taken aback: "Aren't you going to help in the battle?"
“The boss is here, so there’s no need for us,” said Shindai Yunluo with a smile.
"But he only has one air fortress, how can he defeat the enemy? The enemy also has air fortresses, and a Western Continent air force fleet!"
"Who said he only has one aerial fortress?"
The call of the gods has arrived.
Is the "Heavenly Decree" far behind?
Shen Dai Yunluo admired in his heart. Using Chen Yu's identity to rob two of the Chen family's aerial fortresses in one go was probably an unprecedented feat in the history of human warfare.
The next moment, another dark cloud quickly covered the earth, and another of Chen's aerial fortresses rapidly descended.
The Heavens and Gods were like two mountains in the surging tide, standing firm and waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Before the fleet even arrived, their main firepower, electromagnetic railguns, had already opened fire, exchanging fire remotely.
Under the cover of the God Era Sky Fortress, Storm City's fleet rapidly approached the Zhutian Ship. The Western Continent was willing to pay any price, even sacrificing the Yamata Ship, to directly replace the Zhutian Ship!
Their positions were very cunning; they always hid behind the Yamata no Orochi, using the Yamata no Orochi as cannon fodder without hesitation, and emerging to fire at the Soten no Orochi whenever they had the chance.
Chika Kamishiro turned around abruptly in the command room: "Why? Why isn't this air fortress showing up on the radar? We're about to lose it!"
But when he turned around, the Virtuoso was nowhere to be seen at the command post; the enemy had already had the Shadow Gate smashed and disappeared.
Kamishiro Chika understood that the Roosevelt royal family wanted to destroy not only the Chen family's air fortress, but also the last fighting force of the Kamishiro family!
The Roosevelt Kingdom is going all in; they don't want to have that wolf cub, Kamishiro, behind them when they go to war with the Joker.
In just a few tens of minutes, both the Zhutian and Yaqi lost their flight power, leaving only their anti-gravity devices to keep them suspended in the air as targets, firing at each other without holding back.
