Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1796: Chapter 941: Blow for Blow (Part 2)

Zero: "If Jindai Yunlo can’t hold them off for 10 days for you, you won’t even have time to retreat. This is the most accurate calculation result."

Qing Chen took a deep breath: "How about the south?"

Zero shook his head: "In terms of military strength alone, the south may not be able to defeat Qing’s Family, but the Puppet Master is a variable. His lurking makes everything uncertain. These days, you’ve intentionally sent intelligence and documents every day, and I’ve read them all, but there’s only a lack of detailed information about the Puppet Master. We assume that he truly has several artists dedicated to painting for life, then with thousands of A-Class artworks appearing, do you have the confidence to withstand it?"

"No," Qing Chen shook his head and said.

"There’s no choice left. You must go, consolidate your forces back to the Southwest, and completely abandon the Central Plains. It’s the only option for now," Zero said. "Moreover, when the main forces of the Roosevelt Kingdom arrive, you’ll have to abandon even the Southwest and can only hide in the vast Taboo Land."

Zero analyzed the situation ruthlessly, but Qing Chen knew everything was true.

Qing Chen’s conclusions were exactly the same as the other party’s; he was just holding onto a bit of hope, wanting to see if the artificial intelligence had a better plan.

However, the other side seemed helpless too.

"Is there still any chance of peaceful coexistence between us and the Roosevelt Kingdom?" Qing Chen asked.

Zero smiled and replied: "That’s not a question you should be able to ask... Can a wolf not eat meat? Wolves and sheep will never coexist peacefully."

"Thank you," Qing Chen turned and left.

But at that moment, Zero suddenly said behind him: "But I always feel you may not fail."

"Why?" Qing Chen turned back and asked.

"Because you once defeated me," Zero said with a smile.

Qing Chen remained silent.

Zero continued: "Accurately speaking, it’s not you, but your nation. Your weapons have never been the abilities of Transcendents, nor the technological advances you gained."

"Then what is it?" Qing Chen retorted.

"Ren Xiaosu once said that when disaster strikes, hope is humanity’s first line of defense against danger."

"Thank you," Qing Chen left the villa and walked into the darkness.

In the villa, Yi hugged her knees and looked at Zero: "Do you think we can win?"

"Us?" Zero was taken aback.

"Yeah," Yi asked matter-of-factly: "Everyone’s on the same side now."

Zero suddenly laughed and thought for a moment, saying: "Unless Ren Xiaosu comes back, we can’t win."

"Ah, does my dad need to come back? But I don’t know how to contact him either."

...

...

Qing Chen found Qing Ye and Qing Qu: "For now, you’re safe. The Puppet Master hasn’t yet been able to infiltrate the Shadow Troop. I have four tasks to assign to you now."

"The first task is to quickly end the war on Deer Island, abandon the defense of the liberated area, and stop dispersing forces. After eliminating Deer Island’s active forces, immediately consolidate. As long as Deer Island’s remaining troops can no longer pose a threat to us, we’ve already achieved our objective."

"The second task is to lead the remaining Parent Association Members to search the entire city, see if the Arbiter’s Key of Gate opens in our city. If it does, kill them, if not, head to City 18 immediately. Contact Li’s Secretariat, hope they can cooperate to search City 18. The Arbiter won’t be too far from us, only these two cities."

"The third task is to contact Qing Kun and Qing Yu, mobilize the army to prepare to move south to meet the enemy. Chen’s Army making moves now is a very dangerous signal. Later, use Chen Yu to send announcements abroad, divide Chen’s internal forces, and slow their pace northward."

"The fourth task... prepare to evacuate, move to the Southwest."

Qing Ye widened his eyes looking at Qing Chen: "Boss, you don’t think we can hold on?"

"Right, we can’t hold on," Qing Chen said.

"Got it," Qing Ye and Qing Qu nodded: "We’ll start arranging things now... Boss, how come it feels like you’re going again?"

Qing Chen looked at Qing Ji: "Uncle Qing Ji, open the Door of Shadow."

"Where to," Qing Ji asked, leaning against the wall.

"We’ve been visited by someone bearing such a heavy gift, it’s only right we return the favor," Qing Chen said calmly: "Someone dared to curse me, and the only one in the Arbiter Organization capable of cursing me is Duke of Storm City. He’s on the Eastern Continent now, so we’ll head to the West Continent and play."

"I’m most interested in this," Qing Ji smiled, the Door of Shadow opened, and Qing Chen headed directly inside with Chen Yu and his artwork, arriving at the top apartment in the eighth district.

This time he no longer concealed or held back, Chen Yu’s life artwork’s seven-day duration hasn’t expired, initially, two Water Gods Gonggong and two Fire Gods Zhu Rong burst out through the windows.

They quickly dispersed while flying in the air, rapidly each heading towards the Storm City Garrison, Administrative Conference Center, Genetic Medicine Research and Production Center, Arbiter Headquarters for the most precise strikes!

The torrential rain of King water and fiery tides emerged from the sky. Unlike the Arbiters who only dared to hide in City 18 to cast spells, Qing Chen’s revenge was so fierce.

Note that while the Eastern Continent is in night, here it is day, almost all staff gathered in these places, all to perish.

Qing Chen wanted to utilize Chen Yu’s soon-to-disappear life artwork to the fullest, extracting every bit of their value!

After destroying these four bases, the two Fire Gods Zhu Rong quickly turned direction, destroying the power station and waterworks of Storm City, while Water God Gonggong went outside the city, to cover farms with a large area of King water.

Within just an hour’s time, four demigod-grade life artworks caused devastating ecological harm to the entire Storm City.

Restoring it can’t be done in one or two years.

Qing Chen unleashed his anger without restraint, his demigod main-shadow and his Green Ox rampaged through the streets below the apartment building, destructing all enclosing Storm City Garrison forces, while the secondary shadow cleared all the apartment’s residents.

During this hour, no one in Storm City could approach the vicinity of the apartment within three kilometers!

They did want to use heavy weaponry to bombard, but Qing Chen destroyed the garrison’s arsenal the moment he struck.

When a demigod doesn’t count the cost, wanting to attack a city, the scars they leave will be as hard to heal as the canyons on the vast lands.

Qing Chen coldly said to Chen Yu beside him: "If you were willing to work with us to confront the enemy from the beginning, the situation we face wouldn’t be as difficult as now. Even if Deer Island and Jindai open the national door, the Roosevelt Kingdom might be strong, but they wouldn’t dare to fight overseas."

At this moment, a missile flew from afar, precisely plunging into the apartment window where Qing Chen was located.

With a loud boom, the apartment building’s upper and lower three floors turned to rubble.

This ability for precise strikes from long-range artillery is one of the reasons the Roosevelt Kingdom dares to fight overseas, but, when the missile arrived, the apartment was empty.

A declaration of war.

The Joker of the Eastern Continent brazenly attacked all military and political facilities in Storm City, openly declaring war against the Roosevelt Kingdom.

There are no longer any grounds for reconciliation between each side. Both will use every means to strike against each other, battling until one side falls.

True warfare has begun.
