Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1618: Chapter 864: Black Knights

Outside of Outpost Base No. 6, in the Taboo Forest, Qing Chen carefully wrote a densely packed note, cautiously stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and attached it to the ankle of the eagle in front of him.

After some careful consideration, he removed the note and replaced it with a simpler one.

"Go," Qing Chen said, "Take my message back to the Giant King Court in Kuroharara, and remember to detour around Outpost Base No. 5 to avoid interception."

The eagle let out a long cry, flapped its wings, and shot up into the sky like a whistling arrow, heading back towards Kuroharara.

Qing Chen watched the direction it left, hoping that his conjecture would quickly reach the hands of the King of Giants.

He turned back to the outpost base, unaware that the eagle, flying two hundred kilometers back, was suddenly struck by a beam of laser fired from the higher sky, piercing its head instantly.

The eagle fell, as a large drone descended slowly from above.

The information about the eagle being shot down was transmitted in real-time to the Storm Fortress.

There wasn’t just one drone. The swarm of drones that locked down the Taboo Forest was like a conspiracy hovering above the sky.

In the command room, a soldier managing all drones loudly said, "Target confirmed: An eagle shot down, and a bamboo tube is attached to its ankle. Deployed a robot to retrieve the bamboo tube."

The next moment, the drone descended to a sufficient altitude and dropped a metallic ball from the sky.

The metallic ball thudded through the treetops and onto the ground. It then unfolded into a palm-sized mechanical spider.

It extended its body and swiftly ran towards the eagle’s corpse.

Reaching the eagle’s side, the mechanical spider used its sharp claws to slice open the bamboo tube, then spread out the curled note and captured an image with the camera on its head.

Everyone in the Storm Command Room was stunned to see what was written on the note: MatherFucker.

They were bewildered. Someone had used the messenger eagle of the Giant King Court just to write an insult?

This was clearly not meant for the Giant King Court. Someone had anticipated the eagle would never safely return to the court and thus wrote a derogatory note instead.

The Duke of Storm City sat at the command seat, his demeanor remaining calm.

His long fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair, "From which direction did the messenger eagle come?"

The soldier replied, "Outpost Base No. 5."

"The Prophet deceived me. The person from the prophecy is not heading to the court; they are still hiding within the Roosevelt Kingdom’s corps and are right at Outpost Base No. 5, which Storm City Corp Army must pass through," the Duke of Storm City said with a cold smile.

The speed of the Royal Court’s messenger eagle is very fast and difficult to intercept. The person worthy of using the court’s eagle must be the one from the prophecy.

And by writing a rude message in response, they clearly deduced that someone would block communications between the Taboo Forest and the outside world.

So, did they anticipate my plan?

The Duke of Storm City pondered for a long time. He believed the plan was perfect and ruthless, and even if the other party vaguely sensed danger, they shouldn’t have been able to guess it.

That friend doesn’t have the ability to foresee the future.

Moreover, without receiving feedback from the other party, the Giant Dynasty would proceed with the original plan, which was enough.

However, the fact that the eagle flew back towards Kuroharara from the direction of Outpost Base No. 5—does it also indicate that the friend is there at Outpost Base No. 5?

No one knows whether they discovered anything at Outpost Base No. 5. It seems the speed of the Storm Group Army must be accelerated.

A soldier said, "Duke, we are about to reach Outpost Base No. 6."

The Duke of Storm City asked, "Check the Kingdom’s coordination letter, what is the status of Outpost Base No. 6?"

A soldier replied, "It’s Marquis Bolton leading the third division in post-disaster reconstruction."

"Bolton," the Duke of Storm City frowned, "Bolton again! Accelerate towards Outpost Base No. 6. Once there, launch a salvo to obliterate it, then immediately circle to the rear of Outpost Base No. 5. According to our agreement with the Giant Dynasty, we must open the gates of Outpost Base No. 5 for them within 48 hours."

To convince the Giant Dynasty to act, the Storm Group Army must make necessary sacrifices.

The Duke of Storm City must engage in battle with the Phoenix City and Black Water City Corps at all costs to open Outpost Base No. 5, thereby impairing an entire corps, so that the Giant Dynasty would believe in his sincerity.

Only the prophecy of the first Giant Prophet cast a shadow over his heart.

However, once he reached Outpost Base No. 5, that friend would naturally fall with the base.

Following the Duke of Storm City’s order, the entire Storm City Air Fleet accelerated abruptly.

...

A major news event from the Roosevelt Kingdom: the Storm Group Army’s Air Fleet has gone missing.

They did not reach the battlefield as per the scheduled time and no longer responded to communication requests from other units.

This Air Fleet seemed to have suddenly become a ghost fleet, vanished into the sky, and even radar couldn’t detect it.

But 19 hours later, a message suddenly arrived from Outpost Base No. 6... their phased array radar suddenly detected the presence of the Storm City Air Fleet.

At that time, the troops of the Roosevelt Kingdom had already blocked Outpost Base No. 9, with many units in a standoff there, only for the Duke of Storm City to be more ruthless, completely abandoning their home base in Storm City, bypassing 2100 kilometers, and appearing in front of Outpost Base No. 6!
