Chapter 226 - 226 226 Keep a Low Profile

226: Chapter 226 Keep a Low Profile 226: Chapter 226 Keep a Low Profile At that moment, the cockpit of the Dawn Guardian opened, and Qian Chengxue swiftly jumped down.

As she landed, she saw Lin Zinuo about to administer artificial respiration to Su Mo.

A flicker of unusual emotion crossed her icy visage, but it quickly vanished.

Facing the expectant gazes of everyone around, Lin Zinuo’s expression also became quite unnatural.

After a moment’s resolve, she thought to herself, «If I’m going to die, so be it.»

I certainly can’t chicken out at the last second.

However, just as Lin Zinuo’s rosy lips were about to touch Su Mo’s, a twist occurred — Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes.

Spurt!

A mouthful of seawater sprayed directly onto Lin Zinuo’s face.

Qin Wang and the others watching were dumbfounded, their mouths agape in shock.

Doused with a faceful of seawater, Lin Zinuo’s cheeks instantly flushed red, and she clenched her hand into a fist, punching Su Mo before standing up in a huff.

“Cough cough!”

Su Mo himself looked innocent, as he truly had passed out before.

He hadn’t anticipated that the torpedo would be so powerful, not even the Black Steel Envoy could withstand it.

Even wearing the Second Generation Mechanical Armor, the massive impact could have killed him.

But thankfully, he had already used the Genetic Potion to ignite the spark, and his life form was elevated.

His entire body’s functions were massively strengthened, and he managed to survive the ordeal.

Zhou Qian, Qin Wang, and others also struggled to maintain their composure, feeling like laughing but knowing it was inappropriate.

But the scene was indeed quite awkward.

Su Mo caught his breath and turned to look toward the distant ocean.

When he saw the sinking ships of the enemy fleet, he exclaimed in utmost surprise,

“Did we win?”

It was only then that Zhou Qian and the others recovered from their astonishment.

They exchanged glances and said in wonder,

“Yeah!

It’s unbelievable.

We don’t even know to which faction they belong.”

“We are not even on the same level as them.”

…

Qian Chengxue lifted her gaze to the vast fleet and the terrifying Fortress Level War Weapon emerging on the horizon, and muttered thoughtfully, “No need to guess wildly, with such a scale of military strength, it can only be the Sky Dragon Guild.”

“Then, Commander, should we offer to help?”

“Do you think there’s still something we need to do?”

“Uh, it seems like there’s nothing left to do.”

Everyone took another look at the enemy fleet — if the ships weren’t already sunk, they were on their way to sinking.

The firepower between the two sides wasn’t even in the same league; it was like a father beating his son, and it appeared the entire enemy force would soon be annihilated.

“All hands on deck, rescue the injured and do whatever possible to repair The Crane Orchid.

The fight here will soon be over, and the main event is about to begin!”

Qian Chengxue briefly commanded everyone.

Those present obviously understood what Qian Chengxue meant.

They acted as if they had been injected with adrenaline, hurrying to the rescue and repair efforts for the damaged areas of The Crane Orchid.

Just then, a Vanguard Class ship in the distance was quickly approaching The Crane Orchid.

Su Mo noticed it first and reminded Qian Chengxue, “It seems we have visitors.”

“Prepare to receive them!”

Qian Chengxue turned her head to look, her expression turning very serious.

A moment later, the Sea Tide Vanguard Class Battleship closed in on The Crane Orchid, and a short-haired woman with a cheerful face and dressed in a blue uniform boarded The Crane Orchid, accompanied by several subordinates.

Qian Chengxue stepped forward to greet her, respectfully saying, “Welcome to The Crane Orchid.

I’m Qian Chengxue, Legion Leader of the Dawn Guild’s Tenth Legion.

Thank you for your assistance, may I ask who you are?”

“Qian Chengxue?

So this is The Crane Orchid!

I’ve heard Commander Xiao Wen mention you before.

Indeed impressive, managing to fight to this extent with so many scattered ships, I truly admire that.”

The woman looked around with a smile and explained that she came because the strongest organized fleet here seemed to be this ship.

Normally, this ship would be the command vessel.

“You know Commander Xiao Wen?”

Qian Chengxue was somewhat surprised as well.

“Of course, he is the Legion Leader of the 16th Legion.

I forgot to introduce myself.

I’m Jiang Hanqiu, Deputy Legion Commander of the Sky Dragon Guild’s 34th Naval Legion.”

Jiang Hanqiu explained in a very approachable manner.

Su Mo, puzzled, asked, “May I ask, belonging to the same Sky Dragon Empire’s Legion, what is your strength compared to Commander Xiao Wen’s…”

Qian Chengxue, upon hearing Su Mo’s question, also looked at Jiang Hanqiu with curiosity.

If Xiao Wen possessed half of Jiang Hanqiu’s strength, that satellite probably wouldn’t have been shot down.

The question was, Commander Xiao Wen’s ranking seemed to be higher than Jiang Hanqiu’s.

Could it be that the Legion’s rankings are not based on strength?

Jiang Hanqiu naturally saw their confusion and smiled as she explained: “You might wonder why Commander Xiao Wen ranks ahead of us, feeling that his Legion’s strength is not as good as ours.

It’s not like that though.

Xiao Wen’s Legion is a land-based Legion; most of their troops are involved in siege and conquest on land.

Their naval forces are weak, and moreover, during the attack on Sea Breeze Island, they lost a large number of ships, resulting in weakened naval presence and giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.

They had to ask for nearby assistance in desperation.

At that time, those of us who were primarily sea-based Legions were far away and all tied up with our duties, so we couldn’t provide immediate assistance.”

“I see.”

Su Mo nodded slightly, his confusion finally cleared.

Qian Chengxue spoke up, “Lord Jiang Hanqiu, we should hurry and launch an attack on Hai Chuan Islands, as the enemy will soon receive news of their defeat here!”

Jiang Hanqiu said with a nonchalant smile, “There’s no need to rush.

Leave the matters of Hai Chuan Islands to us; you just need to watch the show.

Originally, we wouldn’t bother with the Heavenly Light Guild’s frontier satellite base, but since they have bothered us, we naturally won’t be polite.

Of course, I would ask you to ensure that what you see next doesn’t get out, as it might reveal some of our data.

We’re not afraid of others knowing, but we still prefer to keep a low profile.”

“Of course not, I’ll notify everyone.

But are you sure we can’t be of help?

Although The Crane Orchid has sustained serious damage, we could still offer some modest support!”

“No need, we’ll handle it.

Look over there!”

Jiang Hanqiu stretched out her hand, pointing toward the distant sky.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue turned to look, their expressions shifting.

In the distant sky, they saw swarms of fighters dense as locusts covering the horizon.

They roared as they flew towards Hai Chuan Island.

This was tantamount to flattening the Hai Chuan archipelago.

Beholding such a massive scale of aerial forces, everyone was stunned—such a sight was unprecedented to them.

Moreover, among them were several large aerial transport platforms that were models Su Mo and his companions had never seen before.

“Surprised, aren’t you?

The forces here aren’t just from the 34th Naval Legion; the 33rd Aerial Legion has also come.

The Sky Dragon Guild doesn’t bully others, but we also won’t be bullied.

It’s time to reclaim our ground.”

Jiang Hanqiu said in an extremely good mood.
