Chapter 1392: Chapter 984: Undercurrent (4K)_2

"Not to mention, they had just learned that the Supreme King of the Alliance was among the fleet. The fleet simply couldn’t afford any mishaps.

If, after some time, they still hadn’t made contact with the Netherworld fleet,

then they would try to reclaim the 12.6 million square kilometers of territory.

Afterward, the players each went on to rest and recover, while the inspection and relocation of the public would take a few days.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Military Industry stayed with the fleet, checking the weaponry and various tanks and aircraft.

It had to be said, the numbers were impressively huge. The quantity of tanks and war cars even surpassed the defense forces of the giant city.

After all, these weapons came from the original Sky Mountain Giant City, from the Chaos fleet’s land forces, from Comrade’s Hammer fleet’s ground forces, and from the factories of the Beastmen tribes.

And Hua Country’s people, regardless of gender, all suffered from a phobia of insufficient firepower. Thus, everyone climbed aboard the warships without exception.

This resulted in the number of tanks within the fleet exceeding three thousand, stuffing the bottom nest of Dictator number to its brim.

It’s important to note that there were only a few hundred tanks within the giant city itself, and the human fleet had around a thousand or so.

The current ’Champion of Humanity’ fleet was not worried about inadequate equipment but rather about a shortage of soldiers.

There were plenty of tanks, and even more ammunition. The issue was the lack of manpower.

No wonder they had the confidence to reclaim 12.6 million square kilometers of land.

The Minister of Military Industry considered whether to hold a victory parade within Border City to boost the confidence of the inhabitants of the giant city.

After all, news of the human fleet’s and the human giant city’s fall had already reached Border City, plunging many residents into panic.

A victory parade might provide some relief to the people.

On the highway between the third port and the giant city,

Ye Yi, on his way back to the giant city, suppressed the rage in his heart.

As the offspring of the former City Lord, he had an easy life within the giant city. Thanks to his father’s legacy, he rose quickly through the ranks, becoming the youngest general in the city. He commanded a hundred thousand defense forces, safeguarding the peace of Border City.

But his only trouble was that he understood if things continued this way, he might never become the City Lord.

Since his father’s death, Chen Tianjiao’s prestige only grew stronger, and his sister was also very capable.

He had virtually no hope of being the next City Lord.

And that position should have been his! He was the one meant to be the king of the borderland—the Emperor of this giant city!

Thus, he planned to take a different path and set his sights on becoming close to the Minister of Military Industry. As a competitor, the Minister was quite a handful, but as a woman, she was indeed beautiful and exceptional. Ye Yi had been interested in her long before Chen Tianjiao became the City Lord.

If he could control her, even if he couldn’t become City Lord, he could still wield greater power. Moreover, becoming the City Lord wasn’t entirely out of the question.

So, he spread rumors, denigrating the Minister of Military Industry while crafting an image of himself as a devoted lover. As time passed, his image improved in the eyes of the public.

Regrettably, over the years, the Minister had always kept a distance from him.

Furthermore, there were rumors of her close relationship with a high-ranking official of the Hellsprings Reverse fleet, which kept him from taking any drastic actions.

As a military officer of the giant city, he was keenly aware of the fleet’s fearsome reputation.

While only rumors, he did not wish to test their veracity.

But now, he watched the Minister, who had always been cold to him, show a smile to the captain of the ’Champion of Humanity’ fleet that she had never shown before.

"So, she likes younger men, huh? What a slut!" Ye Yi cursed inwardly.

Thinking about the Minister of Military Industry who was still with the fleet—possibly fawning over that excessively young captain—made Ye Yi incredibly jealous.

Subsequently, he forced himself to calm down. He couldn’t let the Evil God find a vulnerability... and he couldn’t let those around him sense his thoughts.

After the military vehicle arrived at a certain street within the giant city, Ye Yi stepped down from the vehicle and told the Transcendent following him to stop.

The Transcendent bodyguard frowned and said, "General, I must ensure your safety."

Transcendents could detect and resist the corruption of Chaos in advance. They were also beings of formidable strength.

The emergence of the Extraordinary Alliance had elevated the quality and number of Transcendents to unprecedented levels. As a military officer, Ye Yi had a powerful Transcendent by his side."

"What could possibly be unsafe for me within the giant city?" Ye Yi laughed, "You go rest, I’ll just have a few drinks with a friend. Give me some privacy, it’s not like you’re abandoning your post."

The Transcendent hesitated for a moment but still responded, "Yes!"

Afterward, he disappeared from Ye Yi’s view, still concealed in the surroundings, clearly not giving up on protection.

Ye Yi then changed out of his military uniform and disguised himself before he approached the bar in the alley.

One of his subordinates had secretly told him that a beautiful girl from the Bottom Nest had recently come to the bar.

She was as beautiful as the Minister of Armament, with a figure that was exceptionally tall and seductive.

Ye Yi was quite interested in meeting her.

Some girls would leave the chaotic Bottom Nest and come to the surface of the giant city. To quickly lead a life of affluence, they had to rely on certain methods.

And Ye Yi often provided aid to these girls.

This time, he wanted to generously help out as well.

So, Ye Yi pushed open the doors of the bar. He saw the scattered groups of drinkers.

He also saw the exceptionally beautiful girl busy behind the bar.

She really was very pretty, her delicate features enchanting, her well-endowed body enticing with curves in all the right places, and a tall stature of about 1.7 meters, her fair skin under the bar lights possessed a different kind of allure.

However, Ye Yi subconsciously clenched the jade pendant in his hand, an extraordinary talisman of considerable value. Should there be any aura of chaos, the jade pendant would instantly split to warn the Holder.

Therefore, whenever Ye Yi encountered an anomalously attractive woman, he would always check the jade pendant.

Fortunately, the jade pendant showed no reaction.

Thus, Ye Yi approached the bar with a smile and softly spoke the girl’s name, "Xiaoqing?"

The girl looked at him with a hint of surprise, then flashed a charming smile.

"You’ve finally arrived."

In her bright eyes, the white fox of the Nine-tailed Fox clan shimmered.

"You were waiting for me?" Ye Yi’s breathing became labored, his will increasingly dominated by a certain strength.

"Of course, I was waiting for you," Hai Qing laughed lightly, "waiting for you to leave the City Lord’s Mansion, waiting for you to be alone, waiting for you to be full of flaws."

As a member of the Sea Clan, her Sequence was that of the Nine-tailed Fox.

Merely with one glance, she completely captured Ye Yi. With this ability, she also made her way into the Border City.

Looking at Ye Yi, who had exposed his ugliest side, Hai Qing withheld her smile and scoffed coldly.

"How repulsive, humans," she said, then looked towards a figure not far away, "Your task starts now."

"Of course, Queen of the Sea Clan." The shadowy figure slowly approached, revealing a pale, handsome face with sharp fangs at the corners of his mouth.

He was indeed a member of the Blood Clan.

Suddenly, the Blood Clan member bit onto Ye Yi’s neck.

Ye Yi remained passive, staring obsessively at Hai Qing, seemingly oblivious to his own blood vessels being penetrated.

Meanwhile, the other drinkers watched this spectacle impassively. They were not human after all.

A few seconds later, the Blood Clan member released his grip, smacking his lips and said, "That’s done, I can now mimic his blood type, fingerprints, and pupils. That’s enough for us to proceed with the plan. Shall I dispose of him for you?"

"No, his status is still of great use," Hai Qing said, glancing at Ye Yi’s pale face with a cold smile, "I heard they’ve just made contact with the human fleet... If I can bend the fleet’s captain to my will, our task will be almost certain."

"But that captain might just be the champion Yang Dong!" the Blood Clan member reminded.

"Then it’s time for our Sea Clan to wash away our grudges," Hai Qing said with a cold smile.

"The Queen’s Enchanting Eye is indeed formidable. Perhaps even the Pleasure of God’s Chosen is no match for you," the Blood Clan member dodged Hai Qing’s gaze and slipped back into the shadows, "In this side task, you will surely take the lead."

Hai Qing did not respond to his praise, but waved her hand in disgust. Immediately, other members of the Sea Clan picked up Ye Yi and carried him into a small room in the bar.

There, Ye Yi, deep in illusion, wore a vulgar smile on his face.
