164: Chapter 164: Beautiful (First Update) 164: Chapter 164: Beautiful (First Update) In the control room of The Crane Orchid, Qian Chengxue looked at the results before her with great satisfaction.

She swept her arm dramatically and declared,

“Order The Crane Orchid to advance!

At the same time, send a wireless communication signal to Sea Breeze Island Base and attempt to connect with them.”

“Understood!”

Lin Zinuo replied excitedly.

…..

————————————

On an inconspicuous small island at sea, within a covert base,

Ze Mu was examining the sand table, strategizing the battle plan.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

“Report, Commander Ze Mu!”

“Damn it, what kind of panic is this?”

Ze Mu chided, very displeased.

“Yes!

Commander Ze Mu, we’ve just received word that the Cangyun was destroyed by The Crane Orchid!”

The subordinate reported with his head bowed.

“Damn it!

How did Ling Yin command?”

Ze Mu cursed furiously.

“According to Miss Ling Yin’s report, the enemy was extremely cunning, and The Crane Orchid was very powerful.

However, it wasn’t a total loss; although The Crane Orchid won, it also suffered heavy casualties and likely has lost its ability to provide support.”

“Even so, Ling Yin cannot escape blame!”

Ze Mu was still very angry, knowing full well the strategic importance of the Cangyun and how devastating its loss was.

“Yes!

As you say, Commander Ze Mu, Commander Ling Yin is currently under investigation.”

“When did this happen?”

“About an hour ago.”

“I see.”

Ze Mu glanced at his bracelet to check the time.

By now, Kawakami should have launched an attack on Sea Breeze Island.

If Kawakami could successfully take Sea Breeze Island, then there was still a chance to turn things around, and the previous sacrifices wouldn’t have been in vain.

However, a few hours later, another Orderly Officer ran over in a state of great alarm.

“Report, Commander Ze Mu!”

“Damn it, haven’t I said not to panic like this?”

“Urgent intelligence, Kawakami’s fleet has been attacked by an unknown force, the entire army annihilated!”

The Orderly Officer reported in terror.

Upon hearing these words, Ze Mu’s eyes instantly reddened with veins, and in a fit of rage, he swept a teacup off a nearby table and kicked the table over with a fierce stomp.

“Goddammit!

Who did this?”

Everyone present trembled like frightened cicadas.

The Orderly Officer stammered, “It’s suspected to be The Crane Orchid.”

“The Crane Orchid again!”

Ze Mu roared furiously…

———————————————————

Of course, while some were in despair, others rejoiced.

After The Crane Orchid approached Sea Breeze Island, it finally made contact with the base there, and the two sides reported on the situation to each other.

Inside the Sea Breeze Island Base command room, the adjutant reported enthusiastically.

“Legion Leader, The Crane Orchid has come to support us.

The previous explosion was caused by their use of nuclear torpedoes to attack the Heavenly Light Guild’s fleet.”

“Really?

These youngsters, incredible!

Well done.”

Xiao Wen was overjoyed upon hearing this, clapping in praise.

“Yeah!

I really didn’t expect that this group of child soldiers would do better than us!”

“Mm, the Dawn Guild did very well this time, all the credit should be recorded for them.”

“Commander, you’re right, but the situation is still pretty bad, the Dawn Guild’s fleet formation is almost annihilated.

The Crane Orchid doesn’t have much combat power left either.

What should we do now?”

“No worries, have The Crane Orchid approach Sea Breeze Island from the northeast side.

Let their people land there to give us some support.

Also, notify the guilds, tell them that the maritime blockade has been breached by The Crane Orchid, and ask them to organize another wave of support as soon as possible.

As long as we hold on for this period, we can counterattack.”

Commander Xiao Wen issued commands with a very clear train of thought.

“Understood!

I’ll pass on the instructions right away.”

The aide responded respectfully.

Commander Xiao Wen looked at the departing aide, and his briefly relaxed expression tightened once again; the situation was actually not optimistic.

—————–

Moments before, at the instant of the nuclear torpedo’s explosion, a bottom layer in the center of Sea Breeze Island Base trembled along with a bottomless black hole that appeared.

Ten eye orbs, arranged in a ring and oozing blood-red light, suddenly snapped open in the darkness!

Meanwhile, one after another, dark red flares slowly lit up.

…..

Inside The Crane Orchid’s control room, Qian Chengxue and others quietly waited for a response from the Sky Dragon Guild.

Lin Zinuo and a few others chattered excitedly in hushed whispers.

“Do you think they’ll be so happy they’ll send us something like a banner of honor?”

“It’s possible, but I guess there won’t be enough to go around, so it’ll probably be just a general one,” Zhou Qian replied after some thought.

“Yeah, I think so too.

These things aren’t important.

It would be absolutely terrific to get a spot in the ranks…”

At this thought, Lin Zinuo was almost bursting with joy.

“Stop dreaming.

Slots like that aren’t just something you can wish for, especially the highly autonomous ones; they’re cutthroat to obtain.”

Chen Xijie unceremoniously shattered Lin Zinuo’s illusions.

“You’re such a killjoy, can’t you have some aspirations?”

“It’s good to aspire, but daydreaming isn’t beneficial.”

“You’re the one daydreaming; people need to have dreams, who knows they might come true one day.”

…..

The two went back and forth, neither willing to give in to the other.

Standing aside, Su Mo was silenced by their conversation.

Monsters were all around them; it was just that those monsters were focused on Sea Breeze Island.

Yet, they still had the mood to argue about these things.

But then again, positions like that were indeed a shot in the dark.

He had once heard that the council had given the Military Department a precious privilege to grant freelancers official ranks with all due benefits and rights, and that they didn’t even have to follow the stringent rules or punch the time clock.

Of course, he had only heard about it.

Whether it truly existed, Su Mo was not sure.

But now that Lin Zinuo had brought it up, there was a great likelihood it was true.

Just then, a calm voice came through the silent communication channel.

“Hello, can you hear me?”

“Yes, hello!

I am Legion Leader Qian Chengxue of the Tenth Legion of the Dawn Guild, the commander responsible for the support operation.”

Qian Chengxue introduced herself once more.

“Miss Qian Chengxue, greetings.

I am Lei Keming, the aide to Commander Xiao Wen.

I have compiled and reported your heroic deeds to Commander Xiao Wen.

The Commander expresses sincere gratitude for your outstanding contributions and all credits will be recorded for you.”

“You are too kind, Commander Lei Keming.

This is what we should do.

What can we do to assist you right now?”

Qian Chengxue humbly responded.

“I won’t beat around the bush with you.

As you’ve seen, the situation on Sea Breeze Island is very grim.

The defensive barrier has been destroyed, and a massive swarm of Black Salamander Beasts has stormed onto the island.

The situation on the island is very critical, and we are evacuating in an orderly manner to the central base.

Moreover, a crucial aspect is that Dr.

Zhang Wei and his team are in the final stages of repairing the satellite rocket.

We cannot afford any mishaps at this juncture, so we hope you can land on the island to provide support and help with the defense!”

Lei Keming explained the situation succinctly.
