Chapter 1600: Chapter 858: Friends in the Great Prophecy
The communications equipment was repaired, and the first to contact the Third Division was the Fifth Princess.
She chatted with Marquis Bolton for a while, making sure her husband was okay, then asked Bolton to give the phone to Qing Chen and have Bolton send He Jinqiu away.
On the phone, the Fifth Princess calmly asked Qing Chen, “Did you notice any abnormalities with He? Did he ever leave your sight? Do you think he might have led the Giant Race here?”
At this moment, the Fifth Princess was already suspicious.
During the army group’s advance, the integrated communication equipment was the most concealed, but she had just called Bolton when the communication was cut off.
This indicates that there was a mole in the Third Division who informed the Giant Race in advance, allowing them to accurately attack the communications equipment.
The Fifth Princess suspected that the mole was either Qing Chen or He.
Qing Chen complained, “Fifth Princess, you voiced my thoughts; I also suspect He is the mole.”
The Fifth Princess’s voice tightened, “Why?”
Qing Chen said, “After getting off the dirigible, he hasn’t been following commands properly, openly defying me. Moreover, he previously claimed to be an A-Class Genetic Warrior, but when he fought the Giant Race, I discovered he was likely a Cultivator!”
“Anything else, any other signs?”
“Nothing else.”
The Fifth Princess was silent. After thinking for a few seconds, she said, “Alright, you go find Marquis Bolton.”
Soon, the Fifth Princess had Bolton send Qing Chen away and called He Jinqiu to the phone, “Do you suspect the butler might be in contact with the Giant Race?”
He Jinqiu softly said, “I think the butler is likely the rebel mole within the Third Division.”
The Fifth Princess: “Why?”
He Jinqiu continued, “After arriving at the Third Division, Marquis Bolton was playing Superconductor World in the tracked vehicle, and he never advised the Marquis. Instead, he took over all command as if it were natural. After entering the Taboo Forest, he issued over three hundred commands without ever asking for the Marquis’s approval. Also, I suspect he’s a rebel, but I haven’t caught any evidence linking him to the rebellion, Your Royal Highness, please trust me, I will catch him.”
The Fifth Princess pondered for a long time before hanging up the phone.
He Jinqiu exchanged a glance with Qing Chen in the Taboo Forest; neither of the two moles said a word.
Actually, the Fifth Princess was quite happy to see them attacking each other.
She had put He Jinqiu and Qing Chen together to use them to mutually balance each other.
It seemed that He Jinqiu and Qing Chen indeed had a conflict, wishing they could kill each other in the phone call.
The Fifth Princess felt that only this way would both sides genuinely provide her with clues.
In the recent call, He Jinqiu and Qing Chen indeed probed each other’s information, but these were things she already knew!
This was ordinary mutual slander and framing, nothing special.
So, was this Giant Race attack really unrelated to them both?
At this moment, the Fifth Princess recalled Duke of Storm City’s orders… Duke Doug had already been executed, with the Duke of Storm City losing a long-following general.
And this time, Bolton was ordered by the Duke of Storm City to embark immediately, only to encounter a Giant Race attack that night. This could not help but make the Fifth Princess ponder deeply.
Could it be that Duke of Storm City had made contact with the Giant Dynasty?
The Fifth Princess opened the holographic map and enlarged it to see the correlation between all events.
She suddenly discovered that the location of Outpost Base No. 9 was very special. Once the Giant Race broke through here, they could immediately penetrate deeply into the Roosevelt Kingdom’s heartland, even reaching Central Royal City.
Must the Duke of Storm City control this outpost base for some deeper meaning?
The Fifth Princess thought about this, immediately opened the encrypted channel, and dialed a call to Central Royal City.
Ten minutes later, the Fifth Princess ordered the dirigible: Return to Central Royal City!
The current situation with the Giant Dynasty made her uneasy; it was an innate intuition of the Drama Master, even felt by His Majesty.
They could no longer let this situation develop; they had to find and eliminate the source of the recent chaos.
The Roosevelt Kingdom was about to play for real.
Soon, the new appointment order for the commander of Outpost Base No. 9 was issued. This time, the commander was not a direct descendant of the Duke of Storm City, but rather a Marquis under Duke of Blackwater.
The Duke of Storm City sat in the Aerial Fortress, looking at this appointment order, plunged into deep thought.
…
…
Taking advantage of the Third Division resting in place, Qing Chen finally had time to enter the Superconductor World.
He finally met Bolton in the Superconductor World.
Bolton was meeting the ‘White Man’s Light’ for the first time. Accompanied by his family, he nervously came forward to Qing Chen, too excited to speak properly.
“Patriarch!” Bolton said excitedly.
Qing Chen smiled and said, “I saw the news, it seems you’re still fighting on the frontline, making many achievements, especially when you recently repelled the Giants again in the Taboo Forest.”
Bolton shyly said, “It’s nothing, just worldly achievements.”
Qing Chen asked, “What about Flash? I really appreciate his help last time. Do you know how he’s doing?”
Bolton replied, “I’ve already made him my Chief Butler, rest assured Patriarch, no one can touch him. Thanks to him this time, without him, I might have been dead.”
Qing Chen nodded, “Flash is trustworthy; I hope you can continue creating brilliance together. Alright, time to level up.”
